Many years ago. before the days Of
railways, a nobleman and his wife,
with their infant, were travelling
across Salisbury Plain. AS the story
is told in Mr.. A. P. Russell's "CharAv-
teristics,' they were overtaken by a
severe storm. and tvOE refuge in a
lone shepherds hut.
The child had taken cold before
they could find shelter. and the nurss
began at once to undress It by the
warm cottage fire. AS she pulled OF
one rich silken garment after another.
the shepherd and his wife looked on
in awed silence.
At last the process OF undressing
was completed, and the little naked
baby was being warmed by the fire.

Some of these days a clever his.
torian will discover and publish the
daily bill Of fare which Montczuma Of
fered the mobiles of his court. It must
have been very excellent. judging from
the relics which have survived the
clash Of war and centuries. The
tamale, the chill con carne, and the
tortilla are three dishes of which we
know considerable, and of late years
we have begun to learn something
about the sweetmeats upon which the
children in the Aztec homes once re-
galed themselves. They are still made
by the Mexican Indians, and more es-
pecially the Mayas at the present time.
and occasionally few are brought by
travellers to this city.
They are manufactured chiefly OF
fruits and sometimes of nuts and fruits
mixed, and with but little sugar. They
are more like macedoines Of fruits
than ordinary preserves. The favor.
ties are the guava, acquat, orange,
lemon, lime, cocoanut, custard-apple,
pineapple, fig, banana. pawpaw, grape,
currant and berry. The cocoanut is
used just before maturity, when the
meat is still soft and pulpy In gem
eral the fruit is cut up, cooked with
very little sweetening. and boiled
down to granular paste and then
preserved by the addition OF some
yinOus fluid.
The Mexicans today employ brandy
aguardinte. mescal, or strong wine, so
that the finished product bears a
vague resemblance 20 our own bran
died peaches. With the exception of
the guaya, It is seldom that one fruit
is used alone. 4Ae common practice
is to combine two or more; Cocoanut,
guava and orange are one pleasant
combination; cocoanut, orange, anu
pineapple q second; orange, pineapple,
and pawpaw a third; raisins, orange,
banana, and cocoanut are a fourth.
Some thirty or forty combinations are
recognized by the rustic housewives.
When the fruit have been properly
boiled down they are transferred tc
an earthenware jar of a tin can, COW
cred with the liquor, and then the
can is sealed with pager or other ma
terial These "dolces' are very econ
omical, costing hardly as much as

The first man, being now major,
came back from the war. entered the

was nothing doing He entered a
railroad combination, got himself on

The second man was still thinking.

more. Then he entered his wife and
children at Newport and they ran for

learned to play hearts and poker at
the club. but kept away from whist be-
cause it required too much thought.
He also began to deal out his super
fuous cash, and to be a professional
philanthropist. Also he was a power.

A Relic Of wltnhnrast

A curious discovery has been made
at Lynn, in Lincolnshire. In an old
house a heart-shaped piece Of cloth.
pierced with needles and pins. has
BEEN found in a "greybeard" bottle.
This Is undoubtedly a relic OF witch
craft. According to the Rev. H. ].
DulSindeld Ashley, NJ A., F. r. s. L.,
editorial secretary of the British
Archaeological Association, the me-
mento was designed for some ones
harm. 1T Is part Of the paraphernalia
of witchcTaft. The most interesting
thing about this discovery is that it
should have occurred at Lynn, 1. e..
in a part Of the world where the super
stitlons belonging to magic and witch
craft might be supposed to have long
disappeared. The house is said to be
old and the fact that the cloth was
contained in a greybeard' or belIar-
mine bottle would seem to show that
the time of its deposit belongs most
probably to the sixteenth or early
seventeenth century, at which period,
Of course. a belief in wltchcraft was

why should this be so? It is be-

to funerals. For their houses are emi-

that sunshine Of good cheer they want
no shadow OF sorrow cast Hence,
when a guest dies under the roof OF
one of the landlords he uses all means
possible to have the funeral services
held elsewhere.
And as a rule a landlord has no
difficulty in achieving that. because
the dead guests family wishes his
body TO be buried from his home. For
he is nearly always a transient guest,
and 1t would seem both heartless and
irreverent to bury him otherwise. But
IL he is a resident guest "a thing that

Why Burglars Prefer ouakers as Vie
Tins.


An epidemic of burglaries that have
occurred in suburban towns during
the past few weeks and that have been
brought to the attention of the local
police has caused the detectives con-
siderable annoyance. Their investiga-
tion Of the robberies disclosed the
fact that in almost every instance the
house visited by the thieves was a
home Of a member of the Society Of
Friends. For a time this puzzled the
police. but now they think they have
found the reason. They say II Is due
to the fact that no Quaker will keep
firearms in his home. The thieves
know this, and when they set forth on
a suburban expedition they choose
some section peopled largely by
Quakers and confne their depreda
tions to the homes OF the Friends. The
average burglar has a wholesome
dread OF a shotgun. and prefers to
enter a house where. while they may
be arrested. there Is not one chance
in a hundred of their being shot
