Sometimes after a party there are
sandwiches left over. Here is an excel
lent way of using them up: Make a
batter exactly like you use for pan
cakes and add to it either sugar or
salt, according to whether the sand
witches are sweet or savory. Then
each sandwich is dipped in the batter
and fried till golden brown in fat
from which faint blush smoke is ris-

are delicious done in this way. .Crusts

SCHOLARS IN CHINA.
They Rule the Country Where All
Foreigners Are Called Doors.

The scholars rule China today. Dress
is Of more moment there than in any
other country, yet the scholar, al
though poor and meanly dressed, is
received with honor by the highest in
the land. !n
1.-THE superior man" Of the classics
is the equivalent of the good man"
with us. This man, his character and
his conduct are the constant theme
of appreciation. His virtue, his honor,
his social relations, his manners in
public and private, are carefully de
fined. His dignity is among his high
est qualities and must be maintained
at any cost: ;.s
In contradiction to the popular idea
of dignity, however, the superior man
will play battledore and shuttlecock
with his feet and fly kites, while the
boys, like old men, stand sedately by
and look on. This he does as q meth
cd of instruction and; to show the
children how the superior man can re-
lax when his high purpose is to enter
tain and educate the young.
To the Chinese the foreigner is a
boor and barbarian; 1t seems a
hopeless task to teach him politeness.
The Chinese wonders why the for
eigner leaves his own country at all.
Is it too small for him to make his liv-
ing. or has he come to observe the SUI
perior people? If so he is to be com.
mended. But, alas, what d, boor he rs!

Frederick the Great was the COM
Frederick's ambitions were varied. He
performed on the flute. He desired to
be thought poet. He quoted Latin,
but his quotations would have made
Cicero stare and gasp. During that
remarkable friendship which existed
between him and voltaire the author
Of the "Henriade' exclaimed. with de-
rision, "See the dirty linen I,shave to
wash" holding up Frederick's manu-
script, which had been sent him to re-
wise. In the field the great warrior
carried about his own poems in his
pocket and a bottle of poison, so that
he should not be taken alive. Menzeps
picture depicts the king with his flute,
and Bach dedicated to him one Of his
compositions. -.

Spanish national anthem is full Of in

In 1869, after the deposition of Isabel

petition among composers for nation

Snowshoes need very little care. You
don't have to wipe them dry. with
chamois, for instance, the prescribed
treatment. for skates. When taking
them off merely tap them against the

heels outside. Never attempt to dry
them before a fire. When they are put
away for the summer select a dry
place where there will be no danger Of

II Is Not Beneficial, and In Rare Cases
1t Causes Death. .a
In the light of modern intelligence
the once popular idea that seasiclSness
was of real benefit to the sufferer and
that it never terminated fatally has
been exploded. q. Not only is this mala-
dy, to be guarded against by every
means possible, but 1t is even to be
dreaded by those who are not over
robust as leading to possible fatal re-
suits .e
The old fashioned notion that a good
dose OF seasickness was beneficial was
due wholly to the fact that, upon re-
covery the victim of NAL de mer is
usually so delighted that he is apt TO
imagine that he never felt better in
his life, while feeling normal. again is
merely so great a contrast to the exz
ceedingly wretched condition which
this disorder brings about that ex4

Queer Requirements Made In France
That Official Records May Be
Completed.

In France, as in some other coun
tries, every citizen has an official his
tory. Not as varied and interesting
as his real history, but still import
ant. From this there follow at times
quaint consequences. If a woman is
married, for example. wife she re.
mains officially though the husband
may be missing.
Consider the case OF the painter
who went fishing on Anthie bay.a He
has not since been seen. The body OF
one man who went with him was
washed ashore lifeless. You would
call this tolerably convincing proof
that his wife had been made a widow.
She thought SO and in due time she
sought to have 1t recorded In her Of
flcial history that she was a widow.
We are familiar with applications to
court of justice for leave 70 pre-.
sumo the death Of persons who have
vanished. But the French Judge was
not to be so easily persuaded as our
courts. The wife was in her Official
history wife and there was no certifi.
cate to Justify her appellation being
changed to widow. Without certifi.
cae or reasonable documentary evi-
dence no man obviously ought to die.
There was way round. The be-
reaved woman applied for a divorce on
the ground Of desertion. Since death
Is beyond dispute the most complete
kind Of desertion. the court of Mon
treuil decided that she could not be
denied. So the widow is recognized as
an Independent woman and apparently
both the law and she are satisfied. But
you will observe that the official his
tory mus. now record the wife of a
dead man as a divorcee, which does
not seem very creditable to official
history.
