FALsE NUS.
How the Demand Has Been Supplied b.
Various Subtsrfuges

NAAANla 0l1t1AAAh~G
What with the popularity Of green
ice cream and confectionery and the
growth Of immigration from Medit-
erranean countries, there has been a
steady increase in the consumption
Of pistachio nuts. So extensive has
been the change, says the Pittsburg
Gazette, that many merchants have
yielded to the temptation Of initial
ing the pleasant vegetable tissue.
In flavor it is like q nj q almond, and
the chief pereeptible difference be-
tween the two lies in the color. The
INSCRIPTIONS dealer blanches his
almonds, brushes them and col
ors them with ehlorophyll or
spinach green. The imitation
is SO close that only experts
can tell the difference between the
two. The Greeks in New Yorksee
to have been the first to discover this
ingenious fraud and seldom sell the
pistachio paste which was once in
vogue. They import and keep in
stock medium quantities Of pistachio
nuts, which are said to be grown in
Greece, the Greek archipelago and
Asia Minor. These nuts are smaller
than the average and are harder and
dryer. The Armenians us a larger
size which is said to come from their
own country, Syria and Persia. To
an. American palate the nuts are not
very agreeable. They are a trihe too
hard, and suggest biting on a piece
of wood rather than any nutritious
kernel.
Both Greeks and Armenians en-
ploy them for a variety of purposes.
In nearly all cases the nuts are hulled,
scalded and skinned. The kernel is
then crushed dry or broken and soft
ened by hot water. 1t may be boiled
into q soft suAssaroe, q trife harder
than a baked potato, or it may be
roasted, although the operation gives
it a burned and not altogether enjoy
able taste. The Greeks utilize the
nut in many varieties Of cake and con-
fectionery, while the Armenians en-
ploy it in stuffing fowl, lamb and in
making pilau and other savory dishes.
The pistachio nuts are not over ex-
pensive, costing about the same as
the almonds. 1t is possible that we
will have some Of native growth ere
long, as the experiment Of raising
them is now being tried in southern
California.

MATCHES IN HOTELS.
Are Quite an Item in the Years Expense
Account.

Account.
at would be interesting to know
Just how much the hotels Of New
Orleans spend every year for matches
for free distribution" said an obsery-
ant man who hangs around the more
prominent places a great deal to a
New Orleans Times-D Democrat re-
porter. mo doubt the outlay will
amount to a considerable sum in a
wears time. 1t is rather interesting
to watch different men as they APP
proach the free match-holder which
is to be found on every hotel counter
in the city. Nearly every man wears
a different expression, and every
man has his own peculiar way Of
reaching for free matches, 1t is a
rare thing for a man to simply take
one match. He may need only one
to light his cigar, but he will take
more than one. He will light his cigar,
OF cigarette, or sometimes his pipe,
with one, and the others he will shove
down into his pocket. Matches are
cheap enough, but one hotel manager
told me that his match bill would
amount to more than $50 year, and
it wasn't one of the larger hotels,
either. Taking all the hotels, you
can see that the match bill for a year
would be no inconsiderable sum. 1t
is rather singular that men who
smoke never have matches with them.
They are always begging matches.
Men who never smoke do not need
matches except to light the gas
when they go home after nightfall
What becomes of all the matches
anyway Men are always asking fol
matches. OF course, many matches
are burnt up by men who smoke cigar
cites. The cigarette is the creates
match consumer in the world. Tn,
pipe will probably run a good second
if | may use a racehorse expression
especially if the smoker is in thl
habit Of talking a great deal, and i
he ventures out where the wind cal
blow the fire out of the mouth Of TIL
pipe. But matches, when put out il
a public holder, become public prop
erty, and any man has a right to fl
his pockets if it pleases him to do SC
Hotel men make no complaint abou
the matter, and, in fact, they rathe
like men TO help themselves

Tale Of a Small Man with a Sreat Deal
Of Vanity.
"It's the easiest thing in the
world to get the vanity knocked out
Of YOU" admitted a handsome young
man, who is also exceedingly alen-
der, says the Philadelphia Record.
Take me, for instance; all summer
long Pye noticed a preference in
those of the fair sex with whom I've
come in contact for my society, asst
seemed. / was particularly i'm
pressed with the fact in the trolley
cars, and you'll not wonder when l
tell you that I've noticed a woman
get intoa a where a single man was
in each seat, and Systematically pass
every one Of them until she came to
me. In one case there was a POM
pous, perspiring party Of great size,
who looked like a bank president.
Next behind him was one Of equal
girth, evidently a laborer. Then 8
man with a big bundle, and hen one
with a suit case. The one behind
him was not at all peculiar though
perhaps a little over weight. Quite
an average lot. But the first woman
to board the trolley took the string in
leisurely, and, glancing at every one,
slowly, but surely, made her way to
the seat in which ! sat. She was the
last straw, and emboldened by the
idea that ! possessed some fatal at
traction, l made her a bow and
begged she would let me know why
she had chosen that particular seat
Because you're thin, to be sure said
she; and this weather | don't like

Serious Results.

Serious Results.
It was a dull, hstless August night
around central police headquarters,
says the New Orleans Times-Demo
crat, and George Haynes, The night
operator, was amusing himself by
gazing out through the window and
watching the stars which would occa-
sionally shoot across the sky toward
the south, as if attempting to bury
themselves in the waters Of the Gulf
Of Mexico. The gosips Of the place
had gone, the older men who regale
the younger members with tales Of
daring and bloodshed Of the long,
long ago. George Haynes could do
nothing but muse. Besides, it was a
good night for lazy, hazy dreaming,
a good night to WOO nature in all the
manifold beauty and gorgeousness
Of the sky, armament and landscape.
The operator had fallen into a sweet
ly placid mood and was without the
world Of coarser things, for his
dreams were Handicapped and star
spangled, and as deep and serene as
the dome which reached down to the
tree-skirted horizon. Dheolly the
telephone bell called the operator
from his reyerie. The placidity Of
his mood was quickly turned to pet
ulance. Firstly, he did not like to be
disturbed while dreaming, Second
ly, he did not want to be asked
foolish questions. 'Hellol" said a
brusque but portly mellow voice at
the other end Of the wire. "Hello!'
