FALSBHOOD FROM THB VIEWPOINTS OF MANY FAMOUS mem

tale considerably longer before we
can ever hope Co rival the Orientola
in the art OF lying
Asiatlcs, and. In fact, Africans "a
well, may be set down as born liars
Instead Of being merely addicted to
untruth. as In our case. The Perslans,
for instance. lie even when the truth
would serve their purpose equally
well. But they do It so glibly, 80
artistically, and agreeably that they
actually win ones admiration and
esteem.
The orienta's lying presents a
striking analogy to Oriental En-
broideiy. In each case the foundation
is Of the fiimsiest character. But
so profuse is the application and so
intricate the design thereof that one
loses sight altogether of the unsub-
stantial character Of the original fab
ric.
Orientals eXemplify above all others
the highest type of liar, and when
they tell a fb they are prepared for
all that its creation entails. namely,
the necessity of being ready with two
or three dozen more with which to
prop it up, and for each Of these sub
sidiary lies they may have to coin still
others, a task which they never shirk,
and through which they go with sup
RENE face and consummate skill. To
accomplish this demands constructive
talent of no mean order, and when
this rs absent the strain upon the mind
and the imagination is so great that
the person is liable to break down and
to make that false step which brings
down the whole ediflce to the ground.
Possibly it is because there is a
strongly developed touch of the Orien-
tai in their composition that Russians
enjoy the reputation of being the most
accomplished liars of Europe.
One of their most famous diplomats
and statesmen, the late General
Count Nicholas Ignatieff, actually
earned for himself, while Ambassador
to Constantinople, among a population
that presents the greatest aggregation
of liars in the world, the nickname OF
the Father of Lies"
The late Car Alexander III, who
was the most straightforward and
truthful man of the great Russian
Empire, on one occasion taxed the
Count with this, and asked him how
he had managed to acquire such an
unenviable sobriquet. To this the Am
lassador replied, with a low bow, eau
service de votre Majestic"
| English and American diplomats,
on the contrary, in former times at
any ratewere renowned for their lofty
regard for veracity. True, their frank
ness was often brutal, sometimes even
cruel. Yet it formed a source of

in response tO au ludiscreot question
In the House of Lords. iu his capacitv
.of Secretary of State for Forolen Az
fairs. he gave a most solemn assurance
that no secret agreement existed be-
tween Great Britain and Turkey I'm
connection with the problems that
formed the subject Of The discussions
Of the impending international Con-
gress of Berlin of that year
Yet on the Sth of July the English
and foreign nations were made aware
Of the circumstances that some DAYS
previous to Lord Salisbury's pledge
to Parliament that there was no sec
ret understanding with Turkey he
was i'm possession of a secret agree
ment, signed, i'm accordance with his
instructions, by Sir Henry Layard
the British Ambassador at CONSTANT
nople, and Safyet Pasha, the otto
man Premier, by the terms Of which
England secured the surrender OF the
Island of Cyprus on the part of the
Sublime Porte.
Had Lord Salisbury admitted the
Cyprus Convention when asked if
there was anything Of the kind, in
June-that is to say. prior to the
Congress of Berlin-the position Of
Great Britain at the conference would
have been seriously impaired and he
felt that patriotic consideration Of
policy and statecraft compelled him
to tell perhaps the only "whopper" of
his entire career. But it was a lie
which aroused the most extraordin-
airy indignation both in England and
abroad, as contrary to all Great Brit
aims traditions of truthfulness in her
diplomacy.
No one was more indignant about
the matter than King Edward, and |
recall a display of anger and a pas
sionate outburst of temper on his
part, which l witnessed in Paris,
when he learned the news, which l
have never forgotten. The Prince of
Wales, as he was then, had been
up to that moment the most popular
figure in France of all the galaxy of
royalty that visited Paris in that me-
morable year, and confronted by the
popular Indignation which the Cyprus
Convention aroused in France, where
it was denounced as a most discredit-
able piece of sharp practice on the
part of Great Britain, he complained
bitterly of the false position in which
he had been placed by the Conserva-
tive Government, adding that all that
he had accomplished toward estab-
fishing closer relations between the
two nations had been undone by Lord

Wedding Superstitions.

An Englishman has given to the
world valuable book in which he
gives the result of his efforts to
trace the origin of many popular
SuperstitiOns. AS TO the wedding
ring, aud why it should be placed
on the fourth finger of the left hand
he quotes as an authority a writer
of the eighteenth century. There
is nothing more to it he says, than
that our ancestors found the left
hand more convenient for such Or
naments than the right, for the sea-
son that it is ever less employed.
For the same reason they chose the
fourth finger, which is not only less
used than the others, but is more
capable of preserving a ring from
bruises.
The superstition that a shoe
should bring luck at a wedding is
another to come in for explanation
1t seems that it was in the sense Of
confirming of sale or exchange thai
the Jews understood the remova
and giving of a shoe or sandal

Passion Fruit AS Well As Passion
Flower

Flower
The visitor to the United States
is very much impressed by the
variety of dishes that the American
housekeeper includes in her daily
family menus, particularly if the
visitor extends his travels west and
south.
But there is one dish for which
the Australian visitor has until re-
Gently looked in vain. 1t is called
the passion fruit and is cultivated
largely and highly esteemed in Aus
tralia.
AS the Australians know the
passiOn-fruit it is a vine very much
resembling the ornamental passion
flower grown in gardens in many
parts of the world.
The flower of the plant resembles
that of the ordinary lavender-tinted
variety, but is smaller and much
more insignificant The fruit is
described by botanists as berry
about the size of a hens egg, slate
colOred, with a thick, tough, lea
thery rind, which at the stage of
complete ripeneSs skrinks and
crinkles up.
The fruit both keeps and carries
well, especially if plucked when a
little unripe. Inside is a yellOwiSh,
mottled, jelly-like pulp with little
flat, pointed black seeds This pulp
has a delicious subacid flavor. some
what like peaches and cream with
a dash of lemon, and an elusive
something all of its own, besides.
There is no end to the ways in
which it can be used. 1t can be
eaten plain, as English people eat
boiled eggs, with small spoon, the
top being, first cut off. Or, if the
fruit is cue open, the pulp may be
served in a sauce-dish with powder
ed sugar and cream. AS. a basis
for fruit salad. it has not its equal.
There is nothing it will not blend
