Paris, March 26.-Information reach.

Japanese desire to retire the French
and other foreign functionaries serv.
ing in Korea. It is the understanding
that practically all the foreign officials
will go except j. NJ. McLeavy Brown,
the English manager Of the customs,
and few others.
The change is not likely to bring out
. protest during the period Of the war,
since it is considered natural result
of Japan's domination of the Korean
court. The officials here. however, re.
gard this one OF the questions which
may be considered when the exigencies

The Wan Who Tired Carlyle.

There is a story of Carlyle in his old
age having taken the following fare
well in his Droadest Scotch of a young
friend who had had him i'm charge for
walks and who, while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyle's mood,
had on single occasion ventured to
disagree with him: Il would have you
to know, young man, that you have the
capacity of being the greatest bore in
Christendom." The boredom had con-
sisted solely IN the rather negative sin
of not having been convinced of the
truth of one of Carlyle's dogmas, a sin
all the more heinous because, instead
of standing boldly up to Carlyle and de-
claring his doctrine utterly perverse.
the companion had betrayed his weak
ness by an apologize tone.
Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and he
respected antagonists, but he could not
endure being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly reused. He felt in
that case that he had made no impress
sion at all on his interlocutor; that he
had neither won him nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored him
so much as that OF course it is only
exceptionally despotic minds that are
bored in>this way.-London Spectator.

When Jimmie Torrington proposed
amateur theatricals as d means of lift
ing the debt from the Kingston Golf
club and possibly supplying a founda-
ton for building fund the golf club
crowd decided that he must be crazy.
This belief was strengthened when
Torrington placidly consented to act as
property man and made no effort to
prevent Herbert Ranson's becoming
stage manager. 1t was well known
that Kittie Clausen favored these two
of her numerous train Of admirers,
and Carson voiced the general senti-
ment when he said:
Jimmie is insane to permit Ransom
to be the stage manager. OF course
Ransom will cast himself for the hero
and make Kittie the heroine and Jim
ME will be out in the cold.''
If Torrington realized his error he
gave no sign. On the contrary, he
amiably insisted upon taking a great,
err part of the work upon his own
shoulders 1t was he who hired such
costumes as We're needed, secured the
scenery and even induced theatrical
friend to promise to nyke up the play
ers on the night of the performance.
Torrington was the type of man who
most enjoyed doing things for others.
He was not a handsome chap i'll spite
of his bright eyes and clear complex
ion He was rather short of stature
(dumpy, Ransom called HIM, and his
favor with Kittie Clausen had been
gained by his qualities of mind and
Ransom. on the other
hand, was as striking in appearance as
the hero of a cheap novel He made
an ideal hero for the play. and even at
he put deal of feeling
into the love scenes with Kittie.
Apparently Torrington was the only
one who did not notice the fervor
thrown into the rehearsal, and when
it was brought to his attention he
merely smiled complacently and re-
marked that ne hoped the speaker
might be able to play his part as well
on the fateful night.
Gradually this Indifference was ac-
cepted as q silent admission that Tor

rington had withdrawn from the con-
val, and when he was not around the
men began to speak of poor Torring-
ton, while the women maryeled at the
completeness and suddenness of his
surrender.
But Torrington was not worried. Ii
he was aware of the compassion of the
men and the scorn Of the women he
did not show it, and his moonlike face
was always lighted by peaceful smile
as he sat by the prompters table at
rehearsals and watched the proceed
ings. He acted as useful man about
the stage, reading the part of some
one unable to attend rehearsal, holding
the book as prompter or performing
any slight service asked him.
Ransom, who possessed considerable
ability as an actor, worked hard with
his cast Of amateurs, but it is not
easy to teach the art of acting, and
when in the course of time the repe-
tition of mistakes drove him frantic
he gradually lost command over his
temper and at the dress rehearsal he
had to apologize to the entire COM
pany, including Kittie, at various times
throughout the evening.
The others absolved him, but that
evening Torrington walked home with
Kittie, to the great surprise of all.
Their establishment would have been
greater had they known that the invi-
tation came from Miss Clausen her
self.
But if Miss Clausen had transferred
her favors to Jimmie in the hope of
finding him a ready sympathizer she
was in error. Torrington was sorry
that her feelings had been hurt but
he was not prepared to admit that
Ransom was to blame. Oddly enough.
his defense of Ransom served to in
night of the performance arrived she
was scarcely civil to the stage man
ager and flounced into her dressing
room with so curt a good evening"
that even Torrington gasped.
Ransom looked surprised, but there
was no time then for explanations,
and he went off to the dressing room
where the professional actor had in.

Beef is the most expensive meat, but
this expense may be reduced by buy

In buying lamb tie same rule holds
good. Chops bought separately are eX-
pensive, but by buying a quarter of
lamb or mutton the price is Iessened,
and it can be kept fresh in the ice

even keep the lars piece you have

cut off the pieces as you need them.
Veal is not considered ver~ nourish-

steaks, not to speak of stuffed breast

Good meat can be absolutely spoiled
in the cooking. In roasting or broiling
the meat should be UNDERGONE rather
than overdone and never dry, for then
it is indigestible, In stews the meat
should first be quickly Drowned all over
and then water added, allowing it to
cook slowly until well done. In this
manner the juices are confined in the
meat. and the slow cooking afterward
makes it tender.

Presently Kittie EMERGED from her

She shranll from him While she knew
that makeup was required. she was
not accustomed to seeing men with
paint on their faces, and there was

whitened temples. 1t seemed like a

She could scarcely listen to his ex-
pressions of penitence at the loss of

with positive relief her own call to the

The darkening of her eyebrows and
lashes, the reddening of lips and cheeks
and a dash of powder were all that she
required, and she escaped from the
chair, glad that no more was needed
During the first act the excitement
of playing was too great to permit her
to turn her attention to other thoughts
She could not permit her mind to be
diverted for an instant from her next
speech. the next move across the stage.
With the second act came greater

seem the same as at rehearsal. She
could not endure the touch of this
man, with his paint covered features,
and the penetrating odoT of bergamot,

mare. Even worse was the last act,
with its powerful closing scene The
touch of his greasy lips upon her cheek,
