A PINCH OF SALT.
As Necessary In Our Daily Life as
In Our Daily Food.

As Necessary In Our Daily Life as
In Our Daily Food.
How could we get on without salt
In our daily food, as in our daily life, a
little of it is necessary, and the absence
Of it takes away from the flavor of ev-
erything we eat. The salt of life''
which we hear about signifies the
health, vigor and wit which we find in
life. There was time in countries far
from the sea when primitive man new
er used salt in his food, and it was
only when nations advanced in civili-
cation that salt became an absolute ne.
cessity.
But it was not alone as food that salt
was valued. Among the ancients a salt
spring was regarded as a gift of the
gods, and it was believed that any salt
found in the soil lent it peculiar sane
thy and made it place where prayers
were most readily heard. Every meal
that included salt had certain sacred
character, creating a bond of piety and
friendship between host and guest;
hence the expression, "There is salt
between u.s." meaning friendship, and
to be untrue to salt" means to be dis
loyal or uDgrateful.
In the middle ages, when all classes
and degrees sat at the same board,
they were placed according to rank,
above or below the great saltcellar,
which always stood in the middle and
marked the dividing social line above
the salt" meant "of high degree" Be
low the salt were the yeomanry, serfs
and vassals of the feudal days. A good
description of this custom may be
found in '1vanhoe" where Cedric, the
Saxon, entertains his vassals and
friends.
A pinch of salt is always considered
lucky in cooking. To take anything
with pinch of SALT means to excuse
or make allowances for it. A salt" is
sailor. To salt ones conversation
means to make 1t sparkle. Salt is al
ways employed in a sense of benefit or
strength
The Bible has many references to
salt, among them being eye are the
salt of the earth,'' Matthew v, 13, and
st. Paul says, "Let your speech be al
ways with grace seasoned with salt"
Salt is used by Catholics in baptism.
They consider it symbol Of wisdom
and put few grains in the mouth of
the person baptized.

STEALING A DOG.
Sir Edwin Landseer's Experience
With a London Fancier.

str Edwin Landseer's Experience
With a London Fancier.
Sir Edwin Landseer, the animal
painter, one time was about to put the
finishing touches to the portrait Of
dog belonging to a nobleman and was
expecting visit from his model when
the owner arrived In a state Of great
perturbation without the dog. The an
imal had been stolen. After talking
over the loss with Sir Edwin the own
er decided to leave the matter in the
painters hands, together with a ten
pound note as reward for the recov-
cry of the dog.
Sir Edwin's acquaintance with the
dog fanciers was large, and he sum-
moned to his aid one Jem Smith, who
he thought might put him on the right
track. He showed the man the picture
and the bank note and promised that II
the dog were restored no questions
should be asked. Six weeks later
Smith arrived at the studio leading the
missing dog by piece of string. Here
is your f10," said the artist, land 1
suppose must ask no questions. But
now that the affair is done with you
may just as well tell me about it."
After a moment of hesitation the
man confessed that he himself was the
thief. You, you laundering rascalP'
exclaimed Sir Edwin. 'eThen why on
earth have you kept US in suspense all
this timeF" "Well, you see, gov'ner,"
was the answer, 81 stole the dorg, but
the gentleman 1 sold him to KEEP i'm 30

THE SHANK OF THE SHOE
What the Glazed, Metallic Mark!

What the Glazed, Metallic Marks
Thereon Told the Broker.
Half q score of clerks in one Of the
were astounded one morning when
one by one they were called into their
employers private office and asked to
hold up their feet and show the shanks
of their shoes. They thought the "old
man" had gone quite mad. Each
young man as he entered the Office
was told to sit down and put his foot
up on a corner of the desk where it
could be examined. Then the head of
the house put on his glasses and very
carefully scrutinised the shank of the
shoe.
When all had been put through this
examination he called the entire force
Of clerks into his Office and explained
to them why this unusual examination
had been made.
You are well aware" said he "that
1 will not have drinking man in my
employ If L know 1t. For some time,
1 have had good reasons for believing
that several of the young men before
me have been indulging quite too
much. Now I know it. Here are the
marks of the bar rail on the bottoms
of your shoes"
Several of the young men braced
themselves against the wall and lifted
their feet as blacksmith lifts the foot
of horse. Sure enough, there were
the glazed, metallic marks on the dry
leather. They were the evidences of
guilt, and the young mems faces
showed 1t.
Its unmistakable proof" said the
head of the house. "You may fix up
your breath at the drug store and the
barber can clean up your eyes and
face. but you neglect the shanks of
your shoes
That afternoon three young men
cleaned out their desks and gave the
keys to the managing clerk.-New
York Herald.

The Power of rhouxht.

Beware of what you think, for what
you think, quite as much as what you
do, molds your character. Wrong acts
persisted in will wreck any life, but
wrong thoughts have just as sure an
effect. 1t not infrequently happens
that people who live fairly good lives
SO far as their actions go do not feel 1t
necessary to set so close guard on
their thoughts. These are hidden, and
of what harm is it to occasionally cher
ish a vulgar thought if one does not
allow it to escape in action? OF what
harm to hate If one does not show it7
To imagine oneself committing wrong
acts If one does not actually commit
them? But the laws of life say that
every thought affects the whole being.
AS a mans heart is, so will he be.
Evil thoughts gradually undermine the
character, and some day these thoughts
will burst into action which is IRE
mediable. -Woman's Home Companion.

SERVANTS IN ECUADOR.
The Traveller Is Forced to HiR.
Many to Serve Him.

The Traveller Is Forced to Hire
Many to Serve Him.
II you were living in Ecuador and
wished to hire a servant you could
hardly get one by himself or herself,
but would be compelled to take up with
drove of them, probably far outnum-
bering your own family. For example,
with cook you would have to receive
her husband and children, and perhaps
also her father and mother, into your
house to bed and board, and each would
bring along all his or her portable prop
erty, consisting mainly Of domestic
pets, such as pigs, chickens, rabbits,
dogs and other ''lfve stock" The hus-
band may have some trade which he
follows during the day, but at meal
times and when night comes he returns
to the bosom of his family and yours.
1t would be considered downright in
humanity to refuse them food and shell
ter, and not a servant in Ecuador
would work for so mean a master or
mistress. The children Of your cook
may be utilized for light services, such
as running errands, wedding the gar
den and tending the baby, but the nu-
merous brood is apt to be Eight finger
ed' and certain to be lousy, dirty and
probably diseased. There is no help
for 1t, however, because eel costumbre'
has decreed that for every servant you
hire you must expect at least a dozen
extra mouths to feed.
Nor is this the worst of 1t. Occasion
ally the cooks relatives from another
village come to pay her visit of fort
night or two-lasting as long as you
will tolerate tt-men, women and chill
dren, bringing more dogs, pigs, chick
ems, etc, to be housed and fed. Fortu-
nately, they are not accustomed to
"downy beds of ease' or sumptuous
living, but consider themselves In
clover if plentifully supplied with
beans, corn meal and potato soup, and
will sleep contentedly on the stones Of
the patio or the straw of the stable.
The danger is that some of the stranger
hangers on may not be as honest as
the cook herself is supposed to be, and
cases are known where thieves and
even murderers thus gained admission
to the inside of the casa with disas.

SIGNS of Death.

OF course the various physical phe-
nomena which usually accompany the
act of dying vary considerably in the
early stages with the causes which are
producing death.
To one schooled in death scenes the
physiognomy which the grim destroyer
presents is one not easily mistaken.
Among the many signs of death that
are unmistakable are the failing pulse,
the coldness of the eXtremities, the
change in the countenance as the We
nous blood courses the arteries, the skin
grows clammy as the various vessels
refuse to longer perform their func-
tons, the eyes glaze, the jaw drops,
fluid accumulates in the windpipe,
causing the death rattle" and finally
the breathing ceases altogether.

GOLD CANNON BALLS.
The Jungle Hidden Treasure of an
East Indian Princess.

Not long ago an old peasant was
wandering in the jungle about half a
mile from the city of Ahmadnager, in
India, when he found round ball of
metal. 1t was black and looked like
an old iron round shot, but when the
old man lifted 1t he was struck with
its immense weight. He carried it
home and found on scratching 1t that
It was lump Of solid gold. 1t weighed
eight pounds and its sale made the
finder rich for life.
There are many more of these can
non balls, each worth a small fortune,
lying hid or buried in the recesses Of
this jungle, and their story is curious
one. At the end of the sixteenth cen
tury Akbar, the greatest emperor Hin
dustan ever saw, was at the height
Of his glory. At the head Of his con-
quering army he summoned Ahmad-
nager to surrender. The city and its
rich treasure were then under the rule
Of the Princess Cande. Knowing that
resistance could be but short, and in
bitter rage against the oppressor, she
caused all the treasure Of gold and
silver to be melted down. She cast
the metal into cannon balls and en-
graved upon each maledictions against
the conqueror. These were fred into
the jungle and when Akbar entered
the city, instead of the rich hoard he
had hoped to win, he found treasury
absolutely empty.
That this is not the only occasion
upon which cannon balls Of gold have
been cast Is proved by the fact that in
the treasury of the shah of Persia
there may be seen in the same room
where stands the famous peacock
throne two small globular projectiles
of gold. They were estimated by re-
cent visitor to weigh about thirty one
pounds each and are roughly made.
Their origin or purpose is, however,
totally forgotten. 1t is only known
that they are very old.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

Care of Books

A lover of books will always take
good care of them. He never holds
the book by the corner of the cover.
never turns down leaves, never lays
the book down open, either with the
face downward or on its back, and
never breaks the binding by opening
the book too forcibly. He turns the
leaves one by one, taking great care
not to soil or tear them, and uses the
volume gently. 1t makes no differ
ence if the book be cheap or worn;
he always handles it gently.
