1iuers, Whiskers.

1t is a fact that Il lions or a tigers
whiskers once taken off will never
grow again. These animals shed Their
hair ordinarily one a year. all eX
cept the whiskers. The shedding de-
ponds entirely upon the climate. and
there is Il peculiar thing connected
with it. Men who have taken wild
animals from Asia and Africa to Eu-
rope say that they knew a lion
or a tiger or any animal of the cat
species to go through the Red sea
without changing coat. They will
shed at Sualsin and come out Wit;
hail. fresh and glossy as silk. and yet
going through the Red sea they. will
shed again. No n has been able to
account for it. but it is a fact never
theless.-London Tit-Rits.

RHueARe PASTRIES

n1ES and tarts Of .rhubarb are pop
ular in the spring. The only OBJ
lection to them is that the un-
der crust is sometimes soggy, a fault
due to the fact that the juice soaks
through.
Here are recipes for some nice rhu-
barb pastries:
Shortcake and Tarts.
Rhubarb Shortcake.-Make a dough
as for any other kind Of s%hortcake, roll
thin and brush the surface with melt
ed butter, then spread rhubarb cut in
quarter of an inch pieces over half
the surface Of the dough, sprinkle
thickly with sugar, turn the other half
of the crust over this, pinch the edges
together and bake. Serve as you
would strawberry shortcake.
Rhubarb Tarts.-Prepare the rhubarb
and the crusts separately. Bake crisp
crusts in muffin rings. Wash, dry and
skin rhubarb stalks. cut them in inch
pieces and stew them slowly until per-
fectly tender with a very little water.
Add sugar when they are taken from
the stove, while they are still hot.
Chill the rhubarb and at the last min
ute put it into the crusts. -
Served With custard.
Rhubarb Cobbler.-Take a cupful OF
o milk, a half teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in a little cold water and add
ed to the milk a tablespoonful of but
ter and enough -four to make a me-
dunn batter. Put the rhubarb, cut in
short lengths. in a pudding dish and
sugar it generously. Then pour over it
the batter. Bake:it in a moderate oven.
Serve it hot with boiled custard or sug-
ar and cream.
Is An: Old Fashioned Pie.
Rhubarb Pie.-Washa and cut the rhu-
barb into small. pieces. but do not re-
move the pink skin. Pour boiling wa
ter over it and let it stand for five min
utes. then drain it off. This draws out
some of the acid juice. Fill an earth
en- or granite plate With the 'rlubarb
and sprinkle over 1t. sugar in the pro-
portion Of one cupful to Il heaping pint
of rhubarb. Mix one tablespoonful of
flour with the sugar and put n table
spoonful of. butter in little pieces. here
and there, ON the pieplant. Cover with
a rich crust, which should be pressed
close to the edge of the plate. Slash
in the middle and bake slowly.
