THE LAND OF THE PAGODA
What These Structures Signify to
Residents of Celestial Kingdom.

How long will China be the land of the
pagodaf One seldom sees new pagoda III
that PARKWAY land, and most of the two thou-
sand or more to be found there are said TO De
,oinq to ruin Vines which have taken root
in their queer angles sway back and forth III
the breeze they reach downward from one
cornice to the next one below. One pagoda at
Pao-Tah, a most curious one, is especially rev
erenced by the Chinese, because it is the only
one on which trees may be seen growing. SO
many bricks have fallen from some of them
that they look out of balance. The Chinese,
like people of other nations seem to be disin-
cIined to pay the full price of their belief
While they consider the pagoda a very impor-
tant part of the landscape they do not feel
called upon to contribute toward the removal
ton of the influential tower. 1t will probably
be several centuries. however, before the pagoda
will be out of place in the landscapes de-
pcted in blue on the familiar China ware, for
they have been stoutly built.
The Chinaman thinks differently about his
pagoda from his Buddhist brother in India
To the latter it is a sort of spre for his re-
Hgious edifce and repository for idols and re-
ligious relics To most of the citizens of the
kingdom of the queue it stands for something
akin to lightning rod, steering good luck to
the community in which it stands. 1t is sup
posed to shed benefits of all sorts like the soft
rain from heaven upon the Chinaman fortunate
enough to live in its neighborhood. Concealed
in the roof of the famous porcelain tower at
Marking, It is said were five pearls. These
thought to protect the city from floods
dust storms, fires, tempests and riots. Evidently
the marvellous powers of the beautiful tower
became seriously impaired. for in the course of
the TAPPING rebellion the rebels entered the city
and destroyed the all influential structure So
thoroughly was this done that vestige of it
remains.

buildings on the protecting hilltop would disturb
the benevolent influences which were suppose
to radiate from it.
In Hang Chau, a magistrate having dled SUI
denly his death was believed to have peeii
caused by mission building on a hillside over
looking the yamen or official residence. 1t was
deemed wise by the missionaries to accede 10
the courteous offer made by an official of an
other site in exchange.
There is said to be Celestial bold enough to
build a house dig a grave without calling
upon a professor of this strange, geomantlc
faith 10 decide whether not the site is aus
pCiOus.
While no one up to the present time has sug-
gested the notion, perhaps the height of the
massive buildings in the Wall-st. district has
some favorable influence upon the fortunes OF
those who occupy them and is in measure re-
sponsbe for the increase of their supplies of
cash However that may be. it is certain that
the FIatron Building has more influence over
the winds than any pagoda ever had. Unfort-
unately. it's interference with the currents of

the skies does not always work to the happiness
of the passerby
Its geOmantic influence is not always the rea-
son for Il pagOdas existence. Sometimes it
serves the purpose of n shelter for idols or
relics of Buddhd. Pagodas devoted to this OBJ
ject are found chiefly in the northern part of
China. Each has large room in the base for
worshppng the idols placed in it. The re-
mainder of the structure is entirely solid and
nearly uniform in size To the top. The stories
on these are merely numerous narrow projecting
lodges like caves, on which hundreds of small
in ages are sometimes placed. They are always
connected with one of the Buddhist monaSteries
and are watched over by the more or less de-
spised but, enigmatical as it may seem. also
more or less respected monks.
Buddhas teeth like the nails of the true
cross of Christendom, are greatly priced among
the relics of this prophet Judging from the
number to be found in the possession OF differ
ent Buddhist orders, the original possessor must
have had the power to make two teeth grow
where only grew before, and a mouth which
mine for the members of the dental pro-
fession of his time. a story is told of Chinese
geographer visiting Ceyon, where, II is said a
number of the mOlars of Buddha are on exhibit

pagodas is called flung shut" (wind and water),
from the elements that most frequently form
the vehicle for good evil luck. 1t is a SyS-
tenn of superstitiOus notions, complex the
cabala and pernicious as Witchcraft. our
treaty with China contains an allusion this
potent system of evil in a clause which provides
that in the purchase of site for a building
1.-The local authorities shall not interfere unless
there be some objections offered the part of
the inhabitants respecting the place"
Certain English missionaries some years ago
learned to their sorrow how those objections
might manifest themselves. They had built
their church, schOolhouse and dwelling house
upon certain hill. II happened that this hill
was the palladium of the town. The citizens
considered that it had the power Of drawing
propltious influences down upon them from the
four winds of the heavens. one day the mis-
sionarfes were alarmed by the shouts of a crowd
OF Cinnamon coming up the hill Rising and
looking out, they saw others approaching the
mission buildings. They seemed to be in a say
age mood. The mission was surrounded. APP
parently the entire male population of the COM
munity was on the spot. Before the natives
went away they demolished the buildings The
cause of the uprising proved to be the fear of
the villagers that the presence of the foreigners

Not only is 1t expected that the fertility OF
the soil and the general prosperity of the COM
munity will be enhanced by the presence OF
these towers, but it is thought that they will
assist the citizens to acquire the beneficent pos
session of learning In a certain community
in the early part of the last century the pros
perity of the neghbOrhood had decreased. Its
candidates for literary hOnOrs at the great ex-
aminatiOnS had been peculiarly unsuccessful;
so in 1860 a three story pagoda was erected on
a convenient and what considered to be an
especially favorable spot Each story was dedi-
Gated to different deity, with view to cor
railing the desired influences AS controlling
the foundations of prosperity, the lower story
was conSecrlted to the god of wealth. The
god of peace was provided with an abiding place
in the second story. In the third and top story,
as YVES becoming, room was set apart for the
use of the pondcrous headed god of learning
History does not mention whether this COM
munity Immediately rose to prominence in its
province not.

CODES OF THE KITCHEN.
Many OF the Rules That Govern Cooks
Are the Outgrowth of
superstittons.

Take good lump of fresh butter and
roll 1t in iour, place it in lined sauce
pan vita AZ nail pint ol good, rich cream,
stir ii gently over low fire, always the
same way, all ii begins to simmer"
mis- re3.pe Tor the making Of melted
butter is quoted from an old-fashioned
cookery book Of a century ago, but the
direction to stir always the same way"
is observed as religiously to-day as 1t
was then, and probably will be for a
thousand years 20 come, says the Bos-
ton journal. All COOKS of all nations
stir not only the same way, but also
IRON east 10 west, a sure indication
That the practice originated with sun
worshipers.
Speanng OF stirring brings to mind
that in most house senolds-cuuntry ones,
li least--the practice Cf the whole fam
lly Joining to stir the Christmas plum
pudding is still in vogue. There are
many peculiar oid-fashiuned supersti-
tons connected with cooning. For in
stance. in Scotland. when oat cakes are
being baked. il is still customary to
"a Nuh pAl u iiNNiC pANNN anu Univ" ~ ihto
me fire At one tine, whenever bak-
ing was nade-which was, perhaps,
once 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 | give to
thee; preserve thou my sheep" mem
tioning the names 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 peacock
was skinned before roasting and when
cooked was sewn in its plumage again,
its beak gilded and SO served. Tossing
the pancake Is another interesting food
superstition. Formerly the master of
the house was always called upon to
toss the Shrove Tuesday pancake.
Usually he did it so clumsily that the
contents of the pan found their way to
the floor, when q fine was demanded
by the cook. The custom is still kept
up at Westminster school. where pan
cake is tossed over the bar and scram-
bled for. The one who secures it is re-
warded with a guinea.
The origin of the cross on hot cross
buns Is 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 1t
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 a sover-
eign remedy for almost any kind of
ailment to which man is subject. In
many parts of England it is considered
unlucky to offer mince pie to guest.
1t must be asked for.

USING UP OLD SHOES.
A Thrifty Housewife Makes Service.
nb1e Floor Rugs of the Worn
Leather.

The thrifty housewife has discovered
new use for old shoes. She makes
rugs out of them, says the Washington
Star.
For this purpose she saves all her
old shoes-her husbands, the chill
dren's and her own. Even though the
soles, toes and back seams are worn
beyond redemption, that does not mat
ter, as only the uppers are of use in
making rugs.
AS fast as the shoes are discarded,
1t will be good plan to cut the tops
of, and after cleaning them lay them
carefully away in box for future use
The unders may then be thrown away
to avoid unnecessary accumulation.
The first step is to cut a pattern
diamond, star, square, oblong or right
angle triangle. II the latter Is desired,
it should measure four inches along
the straight sides. Two triangles can
be cut from each shoe top. To make
a rug 22x36 inches will require the up
pers from IS pairs of shoes.
For the center Of the rug purchase
piece Of leather about IA inches
square from the cobbler or harness
maker. On this outline the words,
What Is Home Without Rug?"
three words to the top line, one to the
second and the remaining two to the
last line. Then proceed to cut out the
letters. 1t win be a good plan to
draw the letters on paper, basting this
guide down t. the leather ana cutting
through both the paper and leather
with sharp knife. Care must be
taken to leave slits of the leather un-
cut at intervals, or nothing except a
hole will be left when the cutting is
finished
To lace the leather together pur-
chase eyelets like those used in shoes
for 25 cents box. One box contains
several hundred eyelets. BY means OF
an awl punch holes in the leather
strips and fasten the eyelets at the
same time. Or, If eyelets are not de-
sired, merely punch holes with an awl
and lace the strips together with shoe
strings. Finish with a fringe of shoe
strings. Line the entire rug with
bright red broadcloth or flannel, slash
ing all the edges to the depth of three
inches for an under fringe The red
will look pretty under the laces and
lettering, and the rug will last life
time

Fish kedgeree.

Cold cooked fish OF any kind is used
in making fish kedgeree Remove all
skin and bones and pick the fish light
ly apart. Measure, and for each cupful
allow an equal quantity of rice which
has been boiled so that the grains are
separate. Place a tablespoonful of but
ter in a frying pan and when melted
stir in the'rice and fish. Cook until well
blended, then season with salt and black
and cayenne peppers. Break two eggs
In a bowl, beat until light and pour over
the rice and fish. Stir and cook over a
hot fire for two or three minutes. Serve
very hot.--Rural New Yorker.
