Of his first wife. On the morning aft

the cook appeared for orders. Now,
the little woman was far more familiar
with the classics than with roasts and

can how will We have the beef cook

For the merest instant she hesitated.
Not for fortune would she have the
old servantl suspect her absolute ig-
norance of cookery. But her years il

Calmly and sweetly she answered.:
"You may cook it your way today,
Mary, and then another time you can

SuperstitiOns of Farmers.

Farmers "stick to the moon" in re-
gard to planting corn and other crops
Some of them will not under any cir
cumstances plant corn on moonlight
nights, claiming that corn planted then
will produce tall stalk with short
ear. Others just as successfully plant
when they are ready, when nights are
dark or moonlight. as the case may be.
Other notions are INDUCED in, such as
throwing the cobs in running water to
keep corn from firing. Some farmers
would under no consideration burn
pinder bulls, the seed of which is to be
used for planting. They must be scat
tered along path or highway. to be
trodden upon in order to secure good
crop. Green butter bean hulls must be
thrown in a. road after being shelled
for table use from day to day to insure
good crop the following season.

QUEER EASTER CUSTOM.

The Way Filipino Penitents Tor
ture Themselves.
One of the many curious customs
practiced by some persons in the Phil
ippine Islands is the way in which they
observe the week before Easter. For
the Thursday, Friday and Saturday
before Easter the streets or roads on
the outskirts of some villages and
sometimes the principal streets of the
town itself are filled with crowds, who
have come to see the natives inflict
self torture.
The willing victims are stripped to
the waist, their faces are covered with
thick cloth and around one hand Is a
heavy hemp rope with a cluster of
from fifteen to twenty smaller hempen
cords. To each O, these is fastened a
small piece of hard wood. The whole
thing is just long enough so that when
flung over the shoulder it will not quite
reach to the waist.
When the penitents are ready to start
out Filipino, who has been appointed
as sort of overseer, takes the flesh of
the back between his thumb and first
finger and cuts the skin with long
bolo. This is done all over the back.
He then cries, "Alla, sigie" eco
ahead'). Then the penitent begins to
beat his back by flashing his cluster of
little pieces of wood and cords first
over one shoulder. then over the other
until the back is so liberated that ii
somewhat resembles raw beef. All the
while the onlookers and victims also
are singing, or, rather, chanting, mosi
dismal, unearthly funereal chant. New

The Size of the SIM.

The sun, provided we measure only
the disk seen with the smoked glass, is
$4,000 miles in diameter. e., 1OS
earths could be comfortably ranged
side by side across the disk. To cover
the surface would require many thou
sands. To fill the interior we should
need 100000. On smaller scale we.
might represent the sun by ball two
feet in diameter and the earth by a
good sized grain of shot. Let the sun
be followed out, then place the earth
at its center and let the moon revolve
about it at it's real distance of 100000
miles. There would yet remain nearly
100000 miles of space between the
moons orbit and the inclosing shell Of
the sun. Indeed to journey from one
side of the sun to the other, through
the center, would take one of our swift
express trains nearly two and half
years. So vast globe must be heavy.

Smoking the Nargile.

A Greek thus tells how the nargils
is smoked by his brethren:
"Only pure tobacco is used in the
nargile. 1t is grown expressly for the
purpose in Persia. The weed there is
called tumbeky. This kind Of tobacco
is first washed two or three times by
the man who keeps the restaurant. He
puts it under a faucet and squeezes
the Juice out. Otherwise the tobacco
would be too strong. Then, when the
smoke Of it is drawn through the wa
ter, the tobacco having, of course, been
dried first, all the nicotine is deposited

nocuous smoke is the result
