A Gigantic Goddess Of Var.

In the japanese capital there is {.
gigantic image of woman made oil
wood, iron and plaster. The time of its
erection and the name of its designer arc
in dispute, but it is known to have been
dedicated to Hachiman, the god of war.
In height it measures iifty-four feet {;
the head alone, which is reached by q
winding stairway in the interior of the
figure, being capable of holding com
pany of twenty persons. The goddess
holds sword in hel right hand and a
huge painted wooden ball in the left.
Internally the statue is the finest anatom-
ical model in existence, every bone,
Joint and ligament being represented on
gigantic scale in proportion to the
height and general size of the huge figure
itself. The large eyes are magnifyine
glasses, through which fine view of the
surrounding country may be had.-St.

Intensely

Pcriquc is jet black. intensely
strong tobacco, famous for its flavor
and for its ability to wreck the nerves
of smoker ut a single sitting. 1t is
grown and made in St. James Parish,
Louisiana, and the crop only amounts
to 90, 600 pounds year.
The makers follow the primitive
processes which were in use by their
ancestors at least $50 years ago The
stems are taken from the leaves and
the leaves are then put in box I'M
der a very heavy gradual pressure.
This causes the juice to run out, even
through the wood of the boxes. a
gradual process Of fermentation and
curing takes place. AT the end of
three months the tobacco is rolled
into carrots and wrapped in cloths,
tightly bound with ropes. 1t is left
In that way year before it is ready
for market.
The flavor OF perique tobacco is
considered delicious by all pipe smok-
ers, but it is too strong. -Eew York

AmbidextrOns Races.

The Fiji Islanders and the Terra del
Fucgans are both left. handed-that is
they possess equal powers with both
hands. Stone throwing from both hands
is an accomplishment they learn from
their earliest years, and one in which
they arrive at high degree of pcriec-
ton. In times of war they throw the
spear and other missiles with either hand
and with unerring aim. 1t is strange
fact that the use of the right hand in
stead of the left has kept pace with the
march of civilization. 1t has been found
that the least intelligcnt.of human kind,
when describing a circle of any similar
movement, always work from the right
10 the left. a child will also work in
this fashion. Chicago Herald.

nal to whom he gave his attention

An incident which illustrates tho
thoroughncss Of his work is recorded,
reluctantly one may imagine, in tho
Vienna police reports.
The chief OF the Vienna police wrote
to him describing Il criminal who had
fled from Vienna and taken refuge in
Paris, ana requesting Sartincs to dis
cover and seize the fugitive.
Sartines gave his orders for search
for the man. Two months passed.
Then he wrote the Vienna officer:

uAsnED POTATOES.

flashed potatoes are never more deli
cious than when the potatoes are new.
y favoritc way of preparing them is as
follows: Take six cold boiled potatoes,
mince them and season them with salt
and pepper, adding little milk or lit
tie stock as you prefer. A scant half
cupful of liquid is generally sufficient.
Melt tablespoonful of butter III an
omelct pan, and when the pan is very
hot pour in the potatoes. Spread them
evenly, and set them j little back on the
stove or in the oven, well covered, &c
brown. When they are n golden brown
on the bottom, fold them over like an
omelet and serve. The addition OF II
little parsley minced, or n tcaspoonful Of
onion, gives new zest to this dish. =

Excuses OF would-Be Suicides.

People who want to commit suicide
make curious excuses in order to OBJ.
tain poison without the necessary
formula of obtaining a physicians
prescription. A case occurred in
Chicago some time ago Of ldtiy who
contemplated killing herself but
found it difficult to procure the neces-
sary drug. She tried to get morphine,
but could not obtain it; then she went
into drug store and invented story
about wishing to buy sufficient chlor-

now to rndoree CheohA

1heIe are several ways OF indOrsing
check for deposit, says an exchange.
Some simply writo their names across
the back without specifying that the
proceeds are to be paid to anybody in
particular. This Is the least desira-
bic OF any way, for check so in
dorsed passes from hand to hand like
bank note, and II 1t be lost in the
mail or stolen it may be cashed by
the bank upon which it is drawn as
II the check had been originally
drawn to bearer.
Moreover, when check is once In
dorsed In blank, that is, by the payee
simply writing his name across the
eack, the payment can not be re-
stricted by any subsequent indorse-
ment.
For example, IT would be usclcs,
for the bank where the check is de-
posted to indorse ''pay to tho order
of such and such bank" naming its
out-of-town correspondents Such an
attempt to restrict the payment OF
the check would not amount to any
thing after the first payee had in.
dorscd In blank
A very favorito way to indorse a
check is 'for deposit only to the
credit Of" This is goud enough as
far as goes.
The trouble is that such an indorsc.
ment transfers the title Of the check
to the bank where 1t is deposited, and
If it be followed up by similar i'll
dorsemcnts as it passes from bank to
bank on the way to its final destina-
ton, the title is transferred ut every
stage. Now, the check having
reached the bank on which it Is
drawn, 1T is paid, and the money
starts on the return trip.
If ut any point on the way back
bank should fail with the money in
Its possession, that money would go
into the. general fund, to he dIstrib.
utcd pro rata among the credit
OrS.
But If the original holder OF tho
check were TO indorso 1t in this way!
Collect for account Of" OF COLLECT
for my account" then these words
would operate as notice TO all con-
ccrncd that tho original holder had
not parted with his title TO tho
check, and that all subsequent hold
ers were agents Tor The purpose OF
collecting only.
If, after the check had been
cashed and tho proceeds on the way
back, any bank should fail with the
proceeds in its possession, the original
holder can follow the proceeds Of his
check and compel the receiver to pay
over the amount to him in full
1t Is worth while noting that checks
should be cashcd promptly. This is
case IN which il may truly be said
that delays are dangerous and some
times fatal. The bank may fail, or
the drawer may fail, or his funds
may be attached in some legal pro-
cccding, or the drawer may die.
Massachusetts is probably the only
State in the union which provides by
act of legislature that bank may
pay checks for Il certain time after
the death Of the drawer.
