Terhaps the most Interesting tblnf about "The Lady or the Tlgerl' " Frank R, Stockton once said, "is Its great popularity among the savage races. It has been told again and again by tbo story tellers of Huruia. A missionary once told tbo story to a tribe of Ka rens In Burma. When she came back a year later the tribe surrounded ber and wanted to know if she had found out whether I cannot answer the qnes tlon, for I have no earthly idea myself. I have never been able to docldo whether tho lady or tho tiger came out of that door. Vet I must defend my self. People for years have upbraided me for leaving It a mystery. Soiuo used to write mo that I had no right to Imposo upon tho good nature of tho public In that manner. However, when I started in to write tho story I lu tended to finish it, but It would never let itself bo finished. I could not de cide, and to this day, I assure you, I know no better than nny one else." Christian Sclonco Monitor. Drew Line at Indians.

It is recorded of General Sheridan that he was once asked who, in bis opinion, was tbe most reliable of tbe corps commanders, and be unhcsltat Ingly answered. General Hancock. Ho said, "If I wanted a man to stay where I put him, if I located him at night and wanted to find him right there in the morning, I'd select nun cock." And then further Sheridan said: "For genuine politeness and gentle regard for women Hancock was in comparable. If Mrs. Hancock came into bis room twenty times in half an hour be would always stand up." There Is a compliment indeed. The bravest commander was the most courteous to women, and, what was best of all, he included bis own wife among the objects of his courtesy. That is something many men forget they are courteous to all women ex cept to their own wives. Ohio State Journal Original of Falstaff. Sir John Fastolf was tbe original of Shakespeare's Falstaff and In bis day was a continual butt for the jests of tbe town and borough of Southwark.

On the- arrival of Cade, bow- ever, be withdrew his garrison uud fled to tbe Tower, leaving bis neighbors to tbe mercy of the rebels. Fastolf s mat rimonial adventures seem also to have been another source of unpopularity, for, having married a widow named Scrope. be seized ber property and kept bis stepson out of bis inheritance dur ing bis own lifetime.

In China a specie of Illy is dried and used for seasoning ragouts and other dbihes. This is looked upon as one of the choicest of native dishes.

To moke eggs stick to croquettes and other foods that are dipped in egg and crumbs, first dip tho food In flour; then tbe egg will adhere very well. When muklng upplo flout try baking the apples instead of stewing them. The pulp is removed from the skins and mixed with the whites of the egg, which makes the float much lighter than the old way. Instead of frying your pork chops, try baking them. Salt them nnd place one on top of the other iu a pan with about two cupfuls of water. Cover with a tight lid. You can bake eight in an hour, and they will be as tender as chicken. Fashion Frills. Skirts will be shorter In the spring. This bns got to stop somewhere. Al bany Knickerbocker-Press. .

Tho name "thug" Is derived from tbe old religious order that flourished in Indin unmolested up to about 1800, Thuggeo was practiced by religious fanatics, whoso creed nroullmed tue shedding of blood. Any human sacri fice which might bo offered to the god dess Kail must bo slain without the breaking of tho skin or tho appearance of one bloodstain. Usually the thugs masqueraded as pilgrims or peddlers, got tho conlldenco of their victims nnd then strangled them by means of a rope, a handkerchief or nn unwound turban. They wero then burled In shallow graves, dug wllh a consecrat ed pickax, and n third of the plunder was laid on the altar of Kail, their barbaric delty.-St Louis Globe-Democrat Taking an Impression.

"Do you think It was a burglar?" bis wlfo said. "Wo will see If ho has taken any thing."

Can a store bo felt? A woman who bos conducted many experiments says It can, that "no mutter how deep her absorption, the stare at ber back will always disturb ber. All girls feel a stare." Dr. Coovcr, "a psychologist," says a stare is not felt nnd that he has tested it a thousand times. It is probably all Imagination on the part of the woman, for it la easy In such cases for what one Imagines to be come real to ber. Where she passes a man, and he stares at her, she can doubtless feel that stare a block away, for it will take awhile for the Impres sion of a stare to pass away. Stares are no doubt a great annoyance to wo men, but there is no way to prohibit them. The only way to do to abolish the stare is for women to dress simply and go modestly about their business. Ohio State Journal. Nickel In Soapmeklng. it will probably be news to the aver ago ablutlonlst that tbe metal nickel Is used In making bis soap. And fur ther, perhaps, he will be glad to learn thnt although tbe nickel, finely ground, is mixed with the other soap ingredi ents tho finished product contains none of it . This is so because the nickel acts as what the chemists coll a catalyst that Is, Its presence causes certain desirable changes to occur, al though it takesno part in tho chemi cal reaction. Offensive oils and those too thin for satisfactory use when mixed with finely divided nickel and subjected to the action of a current of hydrogen become deodorized and harder and suitable for the soapmak ers use. Cottonseed oil, for example, after the nickel-hydrogen treatment makes a satisfactory soap. Pittsburgh Press. Elephant Skin.
