Indian CurrieN.

To get a really good curry nowadays
even i'm India is difficult. The native cooks,
than whom there are no better in the world
in learning to prepare what are called
Europe" dishes, have to great extent,
lost the art of preparing their own nation
al ones, but in those days most Madras
cooks would give you different curry at
each meal and continue to vary them daily
for month People at home must not
imagine that the apology offered them
nowadays is good curry. 1t consists prin-
cipally of turmeric and cayenne pepper that
sacrifices the roof of your mouth and
tongue and gives no pleasure In eating.
The Madrasians are the only people In In.
dia who really understand what good
curry should be. The ingredients should
be fresh, differently apportioned for each
kind and newly ground each day. Fresh
cocoanuts are also necessary. One OF th'
commonest, yet perhaps one of the yer,
best curries in India 40 years ago, was al
ordinary one i'm the Madras club. IL was
made of tender cubes of mutton that woult
almost melt In the mouth. The ingredient
were most appetizing and delicious, ant
not at all hot. When l visited the Ole
haunts three or four years ago, the clu'
butler did not even know 1t, and had Tor
gotten its native name. FIFTY years IL

FOOLISH LAWSUITS.
The Old Lawyers Advice to Keep Out Of
Court IL It Is Possible to DO So.

Many foolish cases are brought into
the courts, observed an old lawyer " My
advice 10 my clients has always been TO
keep out OF the courts. i remember case
In which one neighbor was involved in n
distressing controversy with another. The
ncighbor who was sued for damages had
built house on "a corner lot and when the
house was erected the other neighbor dis
covered that il had encroached upon about
three inches of his land. They had some
words and the man who had built the
house hired me to defend him In the suit
brought by the other man. Well, after
much trouble, | brought them together
and tried 10 procure settlement out OF
court They argued with and abused each
other and would come to no agreement.
The land was worth $50 foot. Three
inches were therefore worth about Sl2. 80.
II told my client he had better settle.
No. He was right. He wouldn't. So the
case was dragged along in one court and
then another for over year. When finally
my client lost, the case had cost him about
20 times the amount of money involved
and much mental worry, caused by hard
feelings. 1t was Tolstoi's story of the two
ncighbors who had falling out over moth
ing all over again. They lived thereafter
in constant enmity, never speaking TO
each other, and heartily detesting each
other, while their children were reared to
foster this feeling. One felt that he had
been robbed and the other felt that it had
cost him great deal of money To get what
was his. 1t was us near IA fcud rs might
well exist in "A civilized city, only instead
of the dagger thrusts of genuine, bona
flde vendetta, there were the more danger
ous weapons--yenomous tongues, which
gave utterance constantly to sneers, Sian
ders and backbiting.
Thereafter each was jealous Of the 9th
ors prosperity or rejoioed when adversely

On Ills Dignity.

The young ling Of Spain stands on
his dignity and makes his small COM
panions know the difference between a
reigning sovereign end a subject.
While staying at st. Sebastian he was
accustomed 20 battle and swim and play
with certain young count, and every
thing went on well until one day, when
playing ut fves, the count lost his temper
and gave the kings ball an angry hit
back In doing so it struck the king
He did not say a word, but his face
flushed, and there was look in his alb
normally large eyes that the count had
never seen before Instead of apologize
ing the count grew defiant, and the
same thing occurred again. Alfonso
picked up his hat, and bowingy stitily,
he said, Count, / cannot have for my
friend any one who is so rash as to lose
his temper at play"
The countess, deeply distressed at
what had occurred, sought an interview
with the queen. When she was ushered
into her presence, she found the king
was there, and not liking to tell her
mission before him, began to speak on
other subjects, but the king guessed
why she had come, and, after greeting
her, he said, 81 am sorry to lose the So
ciety of your son, but a king has his
dignity to keep up, and bad manners are
worse than bad play. "--Philadelphia
