THE TYPHooN.
A Chinese Legend of the Origin OF
This Fierce storm.

A Chinese Legend of the Origin OF
This Fierce storm.
This very odd bit Is by Chinaman:
"a little schoolboy while on his way
to school one day picked up what
seemed to him small white pebble.
he put 1t into his pocket. 1t proved to
be snake egg. and in time through
the heat of bis pocket 1t hatched out a
young reptile
"The boy fell in love with it and car
ried it from day to day to school with
him and fed it with part Of his own
lunch until 1t became too big to be ear
ried, when he made a nest for it at
home.
"But one day 1t suddenly grew to
enormous size, and upon the boys ar
rival home he was frightened to death.
when the monster saw what he had
done he was sorely afflicted and re-
fused to be fed, but Immediately put on
mourning by turning his color from
brown to pure black. He crawled be-
side the grave Of his departed friend
and lay there for seven days and
nights.
Eat the completion of the seventh
night he came back to his late home,
but the boys old mother was so en-
ragged at him for killing her only son
that she picked up an ak and chopped
his tail off.
with fearful scream and lash Of
his bleeding tail he felled the house
and made his way to the Moo Soon San
mountains where he never shows him
self but once year, just about the
time when he lost his tail, to come out
and make trouble for the people by cre-
ating storms called the typhoon. This
he does to square himself for losing his
valuable tail"

Ancient Beds.

In ancient times the beds we read
about were simply rugs, skins or thin
mattresses which could be rolled up
and carried away in the morning. At
night they were spread on the floor,
which in the better class of houses
was Of tile or plaster, and as the shoes
were not worn in the house and the
feet were washed before entering a
room the floors were cleaner than
ours. After a time sort of bench,
three feet wide, was built around two
or three sides of the room about n
foot above the floor and, covered with
soft cushion. was used during the
day to sit or lounge on and as sleep
ing place at night The bench was
sometimes made like settee, movable
and of carved wood or iyory.-London

Why Most Cooks Always Stir Their
Batter One Way only.
'Take a good lump Of fresh butter
and roll it in -four, place it in a lined
saucepan with half pint Of good, rich
cream, stir it gently over low fire, al
ways the same way, till it begins to
simmer"
This recipe for the making Of melted
butter is quoted from an old fashioned
cookery book of century ago. but the
direction to stir always the same
way" is observed as religiously today
Is it was then, and probably will be for
thousand years to come.
All cooks of all nations stir not only
the same way, but also from east to
west, sure indication that the prac-
lice originated with sun worshipers.
Speaking of stirring brings to mind
that in most English households -coun-
try ones at least-the practice Of the
whole family joining to stir the Christ
mas plum pudding is still in vogue.
There are many peculiar, old fash
loned supersttions connected with
cooking.
For instance, in Scotland, when oae-
cakes are being baked, it is still Gus
tomary to break off little piece and
throw 1t into the fire.
At one time, whenever baking was
made-which was perhaps once a
month only--a cake was made with
nine knobs on it. Each Of the company
broke one off, and, throwing it behind
him. said, This l give to thee; preserve
thou my sheep" mentioning the name
Of a noxious animal-fox, wolf or eagle,
A roast pheasant is usually sent up
with the tail feathers. This practice Is
a memorial of the days when pea
cock was skinned before roasting and
when cooked was sewed into its plum
age again, its beak gilded and so served.
Tossing the pancake is another inter-
esting food superstition. Formerly the
master of the house was always called
upon to toss the Shrove Tuesday pam
cake. Usually he did 1t SO clumsily
that the contents Of the pan found their
way to the floor, when a fine was de-
manded by the cook. The custom is
still kept up at Westminster school,
where pancake is tossed over the bar
and scrambled for. The one who Sc
cures 1t is rewarded with guinea.
The origin Of the cross on hot cross
buns is a matter of dispute. There is
little doubt that cakes partly divided
into four quarters were made long be-
fore the Christian era. At one time it
was believed that bread baked on Good
Friday would never grow moldy, and
piece Of it grated was kept In every
house, being supposed to be sover-
eign remedy for almost any kind Of
ailment to which man is subject.
In many parts Of England it is con-
sidered unlucky to offer a mince pie to
a guest. 1t must be asked for.-Boston

Throwing Rice at weddings.

Like roast pig, the origin of throwing
rice at weddings is Chinese, and the
legend is scarcely less worthy Of
Charles Lamb: "a famous sorcerer
named Chao became Jealous of the
power Of another sorcerer, a woman,
and, conceiving a plan to destroy her.
he persuaded her parents to bestow her
upon his supposed son. The crafty
Chao chose the most unlucky day for
the wedding, the day when the Golden
Pheasant was in the ascendant, so that
when the bride entered the red chair
the spirit bird would destroy her with
his powerful beak. But Peachblossom
gave directions to have rice thrown out
at the door, and she passed out un-
harmed while the spirit bird was de-
youring it."

more or less Of mania. Even the chill

One day some members Of the family

Not long after his sisters took an old
lounge apart, and George watched
them. Presently he came running to
another member of the family, his eyes
on fire, his cheeks flushed and his
locks flying behind him.
"Come! Comew he cried. 'If you
