Why Japs Are Understood.

Every one is eager to add to his
fund of information concerning the
Japanese, and there are not many lay
men who can tell why the Japs are
understood. Japanese surgeons have
made measurements of their army,
which show that the smallness of the
stature is due entirely to the almost
,dwarfed condition of the legs. This
is no doubt due to the fact that from
childhood the Japanese practices an
unnatural way of sitting upon the legs.
When a Japanese child is old enough
to sit upon the floor his legs are bent
under him. This in time dwarfs the
growth of the limbs. Actual deform-
ity is less common among the peas
ants than among students, merchants
and others of sedentary habits. There
is no doubt the coming Japanse, who
are rapidly acquiring Occidental GUS
toms, will change this habit OF sitting
upon the feet.

TO HAVE SUCCESS WITH CAkc
Little Things That the Cook Must
Remember While in Course
of Preparation.

l. When preparing your cake tin,
always grease it first and then line
it with paper Some people grease the
paper, but this is a mistake. Others
grease the tin and put no paper, but
this is equally bad, for it nearly al
ways causes the cake to burn.
,. Beginners sometimes slip into
the error of thinking that a cake will
not rise unless it is put into very
fierce oven. This is quite wrong, for
the fierce heat only hardens the out
Side, and makes it impossible for the
inside to swell properly.
). In order to test the heat of the
oven, put in piece OF white kitchen
paper and let it stay for couple of
minutes. If the paper is only warmed,
and not colOred at all, the oven is too
cool for the average Of cakes; there
should be just heat enough to make
the paper curl up little and go slight
ly brown at the edges, but not enough
to scorch it or make it smoke.

The Economist.

Mitchell Kennerley, the Com
stocked" publisher was defending a
"Comstocked' novel in New York.
The book" he said makes for
righteousness. 1t shows the fallacy of
the various excuses for woman's fall
the excuses of overwork, of underpay,
and so forth.
Yes, the book shows that We all
have glib defense for ourselves We
are all like the extravagant typewriter
girl, whose employer said severely:
Miss That's, are you putting any
thing by for rainy day.
"'Oh, yes, Mr.. Naybob, the girl re-
piled. I never wear my silk stockings

GOLDFISH AND RICE TOGETHER
New Method Of Preparing Meal That
Is Such Universal
Favorite.

Prepare the rice by covering a quar-
ter cupfui with two cups cold water
Put over the fire, stirring occasionally
while heating to prevent sticking
Boil five minutes, drain on sieve and
rinse with cold water. This makes
the rice beautifully white and clear,
with the grains separate. Return to
the fire in double boiler, add one and
quarter cups milk, and one cup salt
goldfish previously soaked over night.
Cook until the rice is nearly done and
the milk absorbed. Put in a baking
dishing, adding one-half cup white
sauce. Sprinkle with bread crumbs,
add bits Of butter, and bake about 20
twenty minutes, or until brown on top
and we'll heated through. Make the
white sauce thus: Melt in a saucepan
one tablespoon butter add one table
spoon -four; mix to smooth paste, add
gradually half cup milk.
