The Food Value of Nuts.

Nuts are not only the cheapest source
of energy; they are the best. They are
made up of fat and What is called pro
tein." The little husks on the nuts are
not nourishing. but they should be eat
Ell with the nuts because they help in
digestion.
But nuts are SO hearty a food that
they should never be eaten except as
the chief dish at meal; they should
not be taken at the end Of heavy
meal nor between meals. 1t is quite as
foolish to eat nuts after a meal as it
would be to eat beefsteak after a
three course dinner.
Nuts can be made into soups, can be
used in sandwiches, salads and in 9TH
er combinations both attractive and
wholesome. They should be eaten with
salt and eaten with all sorts of fruit A
whole wheat pudding With chopped
nuts in it makes meal by itself,
Nuts will keep you warm, give enor-
gy, and, if you do not work too hard,
they wilIincrease your flesh, but do not
eat nuts to any amount unless you give
up meat, for they are a substitute, not
a food accessory.

Quaint Holland Customs.

They have quaint customs in Hol-
land. One of these is placing the laun
dry at the top of the house. The
clothes are sent away to be washed
and bleached, and when they are re-
turned they are drawn up to the laun
dry by means of a pulley and dangle
for a time right in the drawing room
windows, to the infinite delectation of
the guests. But, as an offset to this
popularity, the bathroom-when there
is a bathroom, which is not often-is
placed in the cellar. 1t is the dry Gel
lar, where potatoes and such things
are stored, and the tub is an immense
iron thing, with a cover that is di-
yided into halves.

A strange Pirate story.

In the museum at Kingston, Jamai-
ca, there are some tattered ships pa
pers, brown with age and salt water,
and small tin canister. These articles
attest the truth OF the strangest pirate
story ever told.
In 1899 the crew Of the Nancy brig
were apparently honest traders, but
did some piracy now and then on the
side. One day they found it necessary
to go into Kingston for supplies. Be
fore doing so they naturally removed
all traces Of their buccaneering trade.
Among other things they threw over
board this tin canister stuffed with pa
pers taken from ships they had sunk,
with comments written on the margin
by the pirate captain.
Later in the day a British frigate was
becalmed near the spot. and the sailors
spent their leisure catching sharks.
Presently they hauled up big fellow,
cut him open and found the tin case
with the papers inside. These were
taken to the captain. who as soon as
breeze sprung up sailed into Kingston
harbor, found the Nancy brig there and
had the crew tried, convicted and
hanged in chains at Port Royal

EyanGh Leave.

The origin OF the phrase French
leave" is traced back to a custom be-
gun in France and initiated in Eng
land, common enough in the eight
zenith century, Of going away from q
social gathering without taking formal
leave of host and hostess
This is abundantly clear from two
extracts written in 1775. The first is
from Cbesterfeld's "Principles of Po-
liteness:" ''As the taking what is call
ed a French leave was introduced that
on one PERSONS leaving the company
the rest may not be disturbed, looking
at your watch does what that piece Of
politeness was designed to prevent"
So also Jekyll: "Frehch etiquettes
are precise to a degree. | will allow
that taking French leave is easy and
natural; but, on the contrary, there is
more formality in entering one assem-
bly, here than in taking the round of
routs for whole winter in London"
AS q disclaimer to this derivation the
French, on their part have the phrase,
''se retirer a lAnglaise"-"to take Eng
fish leave'-with the same significance

The birth of lacemaking dates back
to the days of Greek maidens who
watched the spider make its web and
copied the pattern with fine threads Of
fax The art has developed to the
point of producing brussels point,
which is so delicate in texture that the
dryness Of the air makes the threads
brittle; therefore the makers Of the
finest kinds have TO work in damp eel
lars, using maonifying glasses. On the
altar cloths and vestments of the
church will be seen the most beautiful
of the old rose point as it was made by
the nuns in their convent cells and ded-
icated to the use of the church. Every
one is familiar with the painting Of
"Queen Bess, the Dress Lover" which
shows her with high ruff1es embroid-
cred with seed pearls. The portraits of
Queen Charlotte display this keenest of
lace lovers in hoops of balloon-like
iounces of her priceless lace. Queen
Victoria preferred to lay away in laven-
der boxes the piles of inherited laces.

A Curious Wedding Present.

Among the Brass river tribes of
west Africa when a young couple get
married it is the custom for the old
est member of the brides family to
present the bride with plot of ground
six feet long. This is for the grave
Of her family and herself when they
die
The first member of the new family
who dies is buried about twenty feet
below ground and the next one almost
sixteen feet, and this goes on until all
the family die and are buried. The
grave holds them all, and this, they
think, prevents them from being sep
arated.
This grewsome wedding present is
the one most valued by the bride, the
favorite native saying being, when
all other things are gone this re-
mains"

When a lad Daniel Webster was one
day called up by the teacher for pun
ishment. His hands happened to be
very dirty. Knowing this, he wet the
palm of his right hand, wiping it off on
the side of his pantaloons. "Give me
your hand" said the teacher very stern
ly. Out went the right hand partially
cleansed. The teacher looked at it
moment and said, Daniel. if you will
find another hand in this room as soiled
as that l will let you off this time" In
stantly came from behind his back his

reply. 'That will do" said the teacher
