His Importance.

A New York couple wishing to be
married had stopped at the apart
ment Of a minister. The hour was
very late. There were no friends
Of anybody in the bridal party with
IN reach. But the lady was insist
ent. Somebody must give her away.
About this time the janitor came in
sight, and she seized upon him.
viii you give me away?" she
pleaded.
!, "sure I WILL" said the lord Of
the apartment house.
The minister took him aside and
coached him carefully. "When l
say, Who gives this bride away:'
you u answer, 4 do.'"

HINDoo COOKING.
Al, n. Nutrimsnt In vssstablss Saved
BY Cooks In India.

In India it is literally case Of
being vegetarian or starving, for
the Hindoos Of Hindustan, taking
them almost as whole, are enjoin-
ed by their religion to abstain from
eating meat. They are not allowed
even to open the shell Of an egg,
because by SO doing they would de-
stroy the life within it.
Thus they are compelled to sub
s;st on a vegetarian diet or go hum
ory. But # the cooks Of India
we're to prepare their vegetables for
the table as do the women Of Amer
lea. writes St. Nihal Singh in the
Nautilus, it is certain that the Hin
docs would be meat eaters. It
would be impossible for them to
live on a vegetarian diet.
This for an essential reason. The
American cook boils all the flavor
as well as the vitality out Of the
vegetables and throws it away. The
occidental cook declares this opera
ton is necessary, as the flavor Of
he vegetable is too strong and pro-
nounced if the water is not drained
away from it. Be that as it may,
the result is that the food has lost
much Of its nutriment and is use-
less to build up OF sustain the body.
Moreover, the boiling process rem
ders the dish more OF less insipid in
favor.
The East Indian cook works on
a directly opposite principle. The
woman Of India is taught that the
food must be cooked in its own
steam or with just enough water to
generate steam to cook it, and ev-
ery drop of moisture must be evap-
Grated before the food is served un-
less it is to be eaten with a gravy
or shorba, in which case a small
quantity Of liquid is allowed to re-
main on it.
But as usual thing not drop
Of water is drained away. This
would be looked upon as positively
sacrilegious and wasteful by the
East Indians. The American throws
away as useless every day what
would keep an East Indian family
from starvation.
This fact was demonstrated when
during a siege the Indian soldiers
requested that the water in which
the rice was cooked alone should be
issued to them, while the rice itself
might be served to the English sol
diers. This was done, and the ma
tive sepoys apparently were as well
fed as their white brothers.

Those almost perfect doubles
George Du Maurier and Sir l4au-
renee Alma -Tadema were nearly
indistinguishable. The story goes
that lady sitting beside Du Mau-
rier at dinner started conversation
by poohpoohing all idea Of a re-
semblance.
"You know, Mr.. Alma-Tadema, !
think it's absurd to say that you
and Mr.. Du Maurier are so awfully

blance at all. Don't you agree with

"Quite," was the polite answer, !,
"but, you see, | happen to be Mr..
