Candy Maxim. In Chicago.

"See, this girl is dipping violet creams, y
said the dealer pausing before dark haired
Italian lass. who was deity lifting halved
walnut meats with long handled fork and
dipping them into lavender tinted decoc-
ton. '.Violets have been utilized as flavor
but short time in this country" he con-
tinued. ''The flavor is in great demand So
are the crystallized violets, and they are now
supplied in such quantities that the price is
dropping considerably. Sugared rose leaves
do not find the sale that violets do.
''This is the way all fine goods are fin
ished,' said he, pointing to some shallow
pans in which were cream almonds and other
fire candies. "After they are made they are
laid il clear syrup for ten CT twelve hours.
That gives them sparkle. Pistache nuts are
one OF the most expensive commodities of
the ccnfecsionel's line. They come from
Spain. We have to have the best and purest
of everything, or we can't turn out first
class goods Confectioners' sugar itself is
tie purest known and most free from
n,uriatic acid and tin See, it is very coarse, VI
and he took up handful from convenient
barrel ''When it sparkles like this you can
depend upon its purity, and the more it
sparkles the purer it is. A good many kinds
of small, hard candies have been introduced,
owing to the fashion OF carrying bonbonierc
boxes. They are called 'dew drops Church

names This scrt Of confectionery goes to

of the future, however, is the cream bonbon.

Exactness in Commercial Statistics.

Nowhere in the world, suppose, are COM
mercial statistics kept so closely as they are
by what you people call the French stesas6---
ship line-the "Compagnie Gene,,zfa Trans.

round betweeE, rt.atre and New York it is
rer'e-, IA, every ton of coal burned, every
days work of every man, every expense of
the passenger service, every detail of the
freight-all are known down to the incest
certainty in the general office of the COM
pany. So there I have been shown the
measure exhibiting how far one turn of the
screw will push forward the Champagne on
her way across the sea, and next it on a plat
ter tie exact amount of coal which must be
burned in order to turn the propeller around
once. 1t has been calculated how much
each kilometer of ocean travel ought to cost
and what it ought to produce. Indeed, there
is nothing, down to the amount of rope and
painting and tar, which the company cannot
calculate to the utmost nicely in its Office
and the law of averages always brings their
calculations out correct.-Chicago News.

HABITS OF THE TIGER.
The E-oGn in Which 1t Kills aad Ea


The NODE in Which 1t Kills aad Eats
It's Prey.
In paper read before the Bombay Natural
History society recently, and published in its
journal, Mr. Inverarity, a noted shkari, dis
cussed the habits of the tiger, and especially
the mode in which it kills and eats its prey,
Some think he Sc yes by throat, others by the
nape of the neck from above Mr.. lnverarity
has examined scores of slain animals. with
special reference to this point, and in every
case but one The throat was seized from be-
low. Whether disloCation of the neck takes
place is doubtful. The tame hunting leopards
always kill by pressure on the windpipe,
without breaking the skin; possibly the tiger
kills in the same way. 1t is only by accident,
if at all, that tigers in killing sever any i'm
portant vein or artery, and no blood to
speak of flows from the throat wounds
Having killed, the tiger almost invariably
begins eating a hind quarter, consuming one
or probably both. Animals are never eaten
where they are killed, but are always
dragged a short distance. They are not
lifted clear of the ground, but dragged.
Having go. gcd himself, the tiger sometimes
lies close by his prey, but if it is hot weather
and there are hills in the neighborhood, he
will go long distance off before resting for
the day. He returns next night and finishes
what is left, but he never eats q second time
in the same spot, dragging the remains CT
the prey forty or fifty yards off. The tiger
takes about two hours steady eating to finish
the fore quarters of bullock. Tigers are
cannibals they will make their meals Off
each other. They are supposed to kill once
in five or six days, and no doubt the tiger,
after heavy feed, does not care to hunt
much for few days; but tiger kills when
ever he can. They have been known to kill
on fourteen consecutive nights.
Mr. Inyerarity believes that animals killed
by tigers suffer little beyond the panic of a
few seconds. The shock produces a stupor
and dreanliness, in which there is no sense of
pain or feeling of terror. The powerful
stroke of the fore paw of the tiger is fiction;
he clutches with his claws, as one might with
the fingers, but does not strike blow.
Tigers wander immense distances at night,
and as they like easy going they go on the
roads and paths. They do not like to move
during the heat of the day, as the hot ground
burns their pads and makes them raw. They
can on occasion climb trees. In SalSette one
climbed efter certain Pandoo, but could
not reach him and retired. The Pandoo,
thinking the coast clear, got down and ran
toward home, but on the way was caught by
the tiger and killed. The inquest report
stated that "Pandoo died of the tiger eating
him; there was no other cause of DEATH
Nothing was left except some fingers, which
probably belonged to the right or left hand"
Natives have belief that the ghosts of the
man eaters victims ride in his head and
warn him of danger or point the way to
fresh victims.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The Horseshoe Superstition.

The American Notes and Queries has a
long paper in its last issue which discusses
the superstition of the horseshoe. 1t says:
1.-THE belief in the horseshoe attained its
greatest diffusion at the end of the last CEN
fury and the beginning of this. Aubrey, in
his 'Miscellanies,' tells us that in his time
most houses in the west end of London had a
horseshoe nailed over the threshold In 1913
Sir Henry Ellis counted seventeen horseshoes
in Monmouth street, but in 1S41 only five OF
six remained. Lord Nelson nailed a horse
shoe to the mast of the Victory, and Lucky
DIR. James attributed the success of his fever
powders to the finding of a horseshoe, which
symbol he adopted as crest for his car
riage.n-The Epoch.

Girls and the Violin,

The world will hear something of woman
in art before the Twentieth century comes in.
l have been listening to a singular con-
cert. improvised by the damsels who car
ried off the prizes for violin playing this au-
tumn at the Conservatoire. There were eight
of them The flower of the flock was
a chit of fifteen. Paganini never had
more accomplished disciple She looks
a mere gamin All of them acquitted
themselves brilliantly. Is it not curious
that girls were SO long in finding out how
well the violin suits them? If they have
talent and good figures, they are, as violinists,
simply irresistible The outline Of the bust,
when the fiddle is against the shoulder, is
given its fullest value; the forearm emerges
from nest Of lace, the head gracefully bends
down towards the instrument, and, if the
frock is not very long, the feet, which of
course are in neat shoes and stockings, are
well in view. The drawbacks are that the
violin wants an accompaniment and that
girlish beauty is fleeting Very ripe beauty
does not go so well with the instrument. But
skill and soul in the playing will make
amends.-English Journalist
