REALLY NO PUZZLE AT ALL.
Erudite Editor Arises to Explain Why
Women Descend From Street
Cars the Wrong Way

ut makes us tired" wrote the editor
Of the Hickory Ridge Missourian.
when We see some city newspaper
wondering why 1t is that woman al
ways gets off street car the wrong
way. There amt no mystery about 1t
at all Our wife explained it to us
years ago, and she never rode on a
street car but once in her life, when
she was visiting relations in Kansas
City. A woman gets of street car
backward because she naturally grabs
her skirts with her left hand. That's
constitutional with woman. Then
she has to grab something with her
right hand to hold on to, and that's
the railing at the rear end Of the car,
SO when she steps off she has to face
the wrong way. You can't break
women of that habit unless you make
them get off on the left side of the
street car, and II you did that it's just
as likely as not they'd be contrary
enough to grab their skirts with their
right hands But there amt nothing
strange about the way they get off
now. Blamed if we don't think some
times that some Of the stupidest men
in the world is working on the big
city papers. Chicago Tribune.

NATIONAL FOOD OF MEXICANS
The TortiIla Is the Bread Used by Our
Southern Neighbors-FrijoIes
Are Boiled Beans.

The tortilla Is the ancient Indian
bread of Mexico. It's only constituent
is Indian corn (maize), which the
women soak in lime water until the
kernels are at the point of bursting,
then wash thoroughly until it is free
from lime, when they grind 1t by rub
bling 1t on large block of stone spe-
cially cut for the purpose, with a
smaller stone which they hold in their
hands.
The operation looks very much like
rubbing clothes on washboard and
Is laborious and tedious one. The
lime renders the corn dough adhesive,
like wheat -four dough, and it is easily
patted between the hands into cakes

SINGERS BELIEVE IN CHARMS.
According to Caruso, Most Great Art
lists Have More or Less Feel
nes of Superstition.

eve of the opera" writes Caruso in
the Gentlewoman, ARE often inclined
to be superstitious. One woman,
distinguished and most intelligent art.
ist, crosses herself repeatedly before
taking her cue, and a prima donna
who is a favorite On two continents
and who is always escorted to the
theater by her mother invariably goes
through the very solemn ceremony or
kissing her mother good-by and re-
ceiving her blessing before going on
to sing. The young woman feels that
she could not possibly sing a note If
the mothers eye were not on her
every movement from the wings.
Another famous singer wears
small bracelet that was given to her
when an infant by Gounod. She has
grown somewhat stout of late years
and the hoop Of gold has been rein
forced so often that there is hardly
any of the great composers original
gift left Still she feels that it is a
charm which has made her success,
and whether she sings the part of
lowly peasant or of a princess the
bracelet is always visible.
These little customs are not con-
fined to the women singers either for
the men are equally fond of observing
some little tradition to cheer them in
their performance"

Suburbanite Was Wasting His Time

the beauties of country life, relates
the New York Times.

claimed, rapturously.
The roof gardens are good enough
for me-" replied the dweller within
the city's gates
But the moonlights," continued the
suburbanite. You should see the
moonlight shimmering on the land
scape.'
Il prefer the electric lights SHIN
mering on Broadway" said the unre'
generate city man.
Still the suburbanite was not to be
gainsaid.
"Ah, but the air. 1t is like wine,'
he babbled.
Well | don't see that you have
anything on me-" replied the city
man There's brewery right around
the corner from where l live, and you
can smell the hops at any time OF the
day or night"
Realizing the futility of further rea'
soning, the suburbanite ran for his
train.
