Tho Rabbits Foot suppIanted by the Lit
tie Finger of Colored Woman.
Among people of sporting, gambling
and speculative tendencies the rabbit
foot was at one time considered the tai
isman of luck and good fortune. The

devotee of the turf, the card player, the
Spectator on. change. the crap shoot

Philadelphia Inquirer, the pedal of the

foot has been shelved by those whose
superstition leads them to adopt some
sort of token to invoke luck, and they
have taken to a really grewsome article.
1t is nothing more nor less than the
little finger of a colorcd woman. After
death the little finger is amputated
from the right hand at the second joint,
after which IL is treated in chemicals to
harden and cure the flesh. and when il
asbecome sufficiently dried il is carried
in the right-hand vest pocket by men
and women who cultivate the fad and
who carry 1T m little silver case made
especially for the purpose.

out of the world, and yet death lurked
just at my friends elbow, as he
pulled unconsciously at his cheroot.
We had been discussing in leisurely
manner something that had happened
in America. To prove some point, my
friend arose, and. stretching himself
laziiy, sauntercd into the bedroom to
get paper bearing on the matter we
had been discussing. Usually lights
were placed i'm all the bedrooms, but

rushed out to the light.

gasped, and his face was deadly pale.
"Where is it, Quickl Show mel" ]
exclaimed. as whipped out o knife.
He held out his right arm. There
was no mark on the hand, which !
examined critically, but on the cuff of
the shirt there were two. tiny scratch
like punctures. and two little globules
of poison sinking into the starched
linen and leaving sickly. greenish
yellow mark.

exclaimed, with great sigh OF relief,
"and | think you need peg to brace
up your nerves, but first let US settle

We found him coiled up on small
mirror, which lay on the table, and an
ugly looking devil he was. too. ready TO
strike again. @
He was very poisonous snake

WARFARE WITH sNowBALLs.

..f q.

q Napoleon at school Was Made the Leader
z of tie Sports.
Prof. w. NJ. sloane tell many inter
esting anecdotes of the school days of
!. Napoleon in his new Life of the Little
Corporal, in Century. Writing of the
time when Napoleon was at Brienne,
Prof. Sloane says: Each of the hum
. dred and fifty pupils had small
garden spot assigned to him. Buona-
part developed n passion for his own,
and, annexing by force the neglected
plots of his two neighbors, created for
himself retreat. the solitude of which
was insured by thick and lofty hedge
planted about it, To this citadel, the
sanctity of which he protected with a
fury at times half insane, he was wont
to retire in the fair weather of all sea-
sons with whatever books he could Sc
cure. In the companionship of these he
passed happy, pleasant and fruitful
hours. His youthful patriotism had
been intensified by the hatred he now
felt for French school boys, and
through them for France.
I ~ can never forgive my father" he
once cried, for the share he had in
uniting Corsica to France" Paoli be-
came his hero, and the favorite sub
jects of his reading were the mighty
deeds of men and peoples, especially in
antiquity. Such matter he found
abundant in "Plutarch's Lives.r More
over, his degradation by the school au-
thorities at once created favorable
sentiment among his companions,
which not only counteracted the effect
of the punishment, but gave him
sort of compromising leadership in their
games.
The well-known episode of the snow
forts illustrates the bent of his nature.
When driven by storms to abandon his
garden haunt, and to associate in the
public hall with the other boys, he
often instituted sports in which oppos-
ing camps of Greeks and Persians. or
of Romans and Carthaginians, fought
until the uproar brought down the
authorities to end the conflict. On one
occasion he proposed the sport, common
enough elsewhere, but not so familiar
then in France, of building srow forts.
of storming and defending them, anc
of fighting with snowballs as weapons.
The proposition was accepted, and the
preparations were made under his di
rection with scientific zeal; the en-
trenchments, forts, bastions and re-
doubts were the admiration of the
neighborhood. For weeks the mimic
warfare went on, Bounaparte, always in
command, being sometimes the be-
sieger and as often the besicged. Such
was the aptitude, such the resources.
and such the commanding power which
he showed in either role that the win.
ter was always remembered in the am
nails of the school

OUTLETS AND ONION SAUCE.
The Preparation of . Dish That IL very
Palntnnla.


There is an undoubted prejudice
against onions still existing in country
districts. French cookery has largely
rooted out this prejudice In the cities,
and many city housewives do not at
tempt their soup or meat braizes and
stews without little OF the flavor of
the onion. Most croquettes and minces
OF meat and other made" meat dishes
require this among the many favors
OF herb and vegetable which 90 to
making them perfect In all these
dishes the onion is used sparingly, and
does not assert itself as IL does in
soubise sauces and onion soup, of
which 1t is component part. The
onion is one Of the most wholesome
and valuable vegetables we have, and
1t Is an ignorant prejudice that has so
largely prohibited it's use in general
cookery. For outlets with soubise
sauce egg bread crumbs and fry in
boiling fat six nice outlets Those
taken from the shoulder and neck are
juicy and inexpensive. Be careful to
trim them il they are lamb or mutton,
removing all the fat you can. especial
ly on the outside of the chop, as this is
the fat that often irnparts u strong
favor. To prepare the soubise or on
ion sauce boil three white onions in
water for half an hour. take them up,
throw of the water. put them into o
mixture of half water and half milk,
and let them cook for a quarter OF an
hour longer, or until they are soft
enough to mash through colander.
Thin this puree of onion with q little
cream sauce or white sauce; let 1t boil
up once and pour 1t around the chopa

these crockcry plays the chief part; the
walls Of the new home being almost
concealed with jugs, plates and dishes

presents first and then the brides are,
on the following evening, conveyed to
the new home.
Two days now intervene, and each of
these is marked by curious ceremonies
On the night OF the first. the feet OF the
bride are bathed by her maids in her
mothers house; while in the bride
grooms his friends perform that Office
for him. On the night of the second
the bridegroom and his best man oc-
scupy the marriage bed together. The
origin of these ceremonies is worthy OF
Investigations On the saturday, the
wedding day. while the young men run
up gay flags over the house of the
bridegroom. the bride sets of to church
under charge of the best man and his
comrade; the bridegroom, carrying a
wand with blue ribbon, follows, ac-
companied by the two bridesmaids.
The wedding celebrated, the bride is
escorted TO her new home, and installed
as housewife by the simple and pretty
act of breaking an oaten hammock
above her head. The day is wound up
with festivities, and the next day 0he
sabbath) the pair are escorted to kirk
by their relations. This is called ''the
kirking."
