ALL HONOR TO PARSLEY.
Curious Folklore and History Con-
ceruing This Common Herb.

Curious Folklore and History Com
corning This Common Herb.
Some quaint ideas have lowered
around that familiar garden herb and
dish gdorner, parsley In England,
Devonshire folk declare that parsley
must never be transplanted or great
evil will follow. Suffolk people say it
will not come up double unless sown
on Good Friday-a notion that expert
ments might surely soon have disprov-
edwhlle ancient dwellers in Hamp-
shire steadfastly refuse to give any
parsley away. Ask them for roses, lilies,
fruit or rare vegetables, and basket
fuls will be gladly bestowed on you,
but request few sprigs Of parsley and
you will be told, with solemn shaking
of heads, mo, we never pick parsley
for any one, unless it's paid for.'
The great historian Plutarch relates
an interesting anecdote on the subject
of this herb. Timoleon was leading an
army against the rthaginians. But
as he was ascending hill from the
top of which the enemy's camp and all
their vast forces would be in sight, he
met some mules laden with parsley,
and his men took it into their heads
that it was bad omen because we
uk laiiy crown the sepulcher with pars-
ley, and thence comes the proyerb with
regard to one that Is dangerously i'll,
Such one has need of nothing but
parsley To deliver them from this
superstition and to remove the panic
Timoleon ordered the troops to halt,
and making n speech suitable to the
occasion, observed among other things
that crowns We're brought them before
the victory and offered themselves Of
their own accord For the Corinthians
from all antiquity have looked upon a
wreath of parsley as sacred, crowning
the victors with it at the isthman
games" The general then crowned
himself and all his officers with pars-
ley wreaths, and led his men to bat
tie, their fears conquered the result
being a decisive victory. - Chicago

on at the mill. He made great prog.
ress at the works. 1t wasn't long be-
fore he was at the head OF the section
of the forge department there, the boss,
In fact, OF the four ton hammers.
"As far as he was concerned the only
thing that msrred his happiness was
the toughness of the steaks they had
at the boarding house, and that they
were tough nobody could deny. But
he was equal to the occasion there as
he had proved himself to be at the
mill.
Madam he said one day to the
landlady, IL you will let me take the
steaks you buy before you cook them I
will make them just as tender as can
be without any cost to you whatso-
ever
'Now, he had paid his board regular
ly, and he was at that moment virtual
ly the star boarder. The landlady
handed him the next morning without
hesitation the bundle of steaks just as
1t came from the butcher and the ham
mer boss just took 'em over to the mill,
this being before the regular starting
time In the morning, and, adjusting
one Of the four ton hammers to about
the right gauge, started it up and ran
the steaks couple of times under the
hammer.
Good? Why, they were just simply
beautiful, and every morning after that
the genial hammer boss used to run
across to the mill before breakfast and
quietly, without the knowledge of any
one, run the landlady's steaks back
and forth once under the four ton ham,
mer. The fame Of the landlady's ten
der steaks grew rapidly, as did also,
naturally, the number of her boarders.
And SO she accumulated wealth. New

HOW TURKS EAT.
They Use No Tables, Chairs, Knives,
Forks or Plates.

They Use No Tables, Chairs, Knives
Forks or Plates.
Tho Turks use no tables in their
homes. and chairs are unknown, says
London Answers. Instead there Is a
huge wooden frame built in the middle
of the room, about 1S inches high, and
when the family assemblies to dine
cushions are brought, placed upon the
frame, and on these the members seat
themselves, tailor fashion, forming q
circle around large tray which occu-
pies the center.
The tray Is very large wooden,
plated or silver affair, according to the
social and financial condition Of the
family, and thereon is deposited a ca
pacious bowl. About it are ranged
saucers of sliced cheese, anchovies, ca
Ware and sweetmeats of all sorts. In
terspersed with these are goblets of
sherbet, pieces of hot unleavened bread
and number of lockwood spoons,
with which to drink the soup.
KNIVES, forks and plates do not fig
ure IN the service. but each one has a
napkin spread upon his knees and ev-
cry one, armed with spoon, helps
himself.
When this Is consumed, the bowl is
borne away, and another great dish
takes Its place. This time 1t is con-
glomeration of substantials, all stewed
up, together, such as mutton, game or
poultry. The mess has been divided
by the cook into small portions, which
are dipped up with the aid of spoon
or with the fingers.
For the host to fish out of the mess a
wing or leg Of fowl and present it to
a guest is considered great compli-
ment, and for a Turk Of high degree to
roll morsel between his fingers and
then put 1t into the mouth of visitor
is looked upon as the height Of favor
and good manners.

A Dye Wanted.

Our consul in Birmingham says that
several years ago one of the BARRIERS,
of threadmaking fame, told him that
the discoverer of fast black dye for
linen thread could command his own
price. Examine the thread holding the
buttons in mems clothing. and you will
see that after short time the black
disappears, and even new linen thread
has not sufficient depth of color. 1t is
impossible to find in the English shops
mems black cotton socks with tops at
all elastic. The fast black dye for cot
ton was the discovery of an English
chemist. English hose manufacturers
would not at first buy his secret, but
the Germans did and built up trade
all over the world.-New York Times.
