REFINING Tapioca,

Th1s elegant and delicate starch Is
the product Of a plant that is Guilt
waited very extensively in the Malay
peninsula, where its culture Is almost
entirely In the hands Of the Chinese.
The tubers Of the plant (Afanihot utilis-
slma), which weigh on an average
from ten to twenty-five pounds, are
nrst scraped and then carefully wash
ed, after which they are reduced to a
pulp by being passed between rollers.
This pulp is carefully washed and
shaken up with abundance Of water
until the felcula separates and passes
through a very fine sieve into a tub
placed beneath. The -four so obtained
Is repeatedly washed and then placed
on mats and bleached by exposure to
the sun and air. 1t is finally converted
into the pearl tapioca Of commerce by
being placed in crude shaped frame
covered with canvas. It Is slightly
moistened and subjected to a rotary
motion, by which means it is granu-
lated. 1t is next dried in the sun and
finally over the fire In an iron pan
creased with vegetable tallow and is
then ready for the market.

Mystery of a Diplomat.

OF disappearances most mysterious
was the case of Benjamin Bathurst,
who vanished Nov. %, 1909, while en-
gagged on a secret mission for the for
eign Office. Vienna was the young di-
plomatist's objective, and, with his
friend and valet, in a post chaise, Perle-
berg, a small posting town in north
Germany, had been reached. Here
Bathurst supped and slept, awaiting
the arrival Of fresh horses. Waking,
he asked were the horses ready and
passed out of the door to make in
quiries. Eight people saw him go out,
but none ever set eyes on him again.
Various theories were set afoot-Na-
poleon's spies, robbers, illness. In
1912 in the forest near Perleberg a
skeleton was discovered with hole in
the skull as from a heavy blunt in
strument. Was it that of ''the English
lord" as Perleberg people surmised?

Japanese Houses.

A number of causes have affected
the size of the japanese house, which
seems much too small for a comforta-
BILE habitation in the eyes Of the for
eigner. In the first place, the people
themselves are small, the average
height of the japanese male adult be-
ing five feet three and one-half inches
and that of the female four feet nine
and one-half inches. AS it is the usual
custom to sit on the floors upon cush-
ions, with the legs bent beneath, great
height of ceilings is not desirable. The
low ceilings may also be attributed to
the lack Of any heating systems other
than the small charcoal brazier known
as the "hibashi." The frequency of
earthquakes throughout Japan has
been a largely contributing cause as
well, and the question Of expense in
a country where economy reigns su-
preme has also had a powerful influ-
ence.

Brides In India.

A bride In India never sees her hus-
band until after the marriage cere
mony. The parents choose the wife
for the son of the house without con.
sulting either party. Sometimes the
bride is as young as fourteen. The
child Is gorgeously dressed and placed
on a dais behind a sheet, the women
OF the family being in attendance.
On the other side of the sheet are the
bridegroom and many Of his young
men friends. The groom keeps throw
ing over jewels attached to flowers,
which the women on the brides side
remove and place in her lap or on her
person.
This first ceremony is called the
shadee, and, although a man is allowed
four wives, no other ever holds the
same position as the first chosen for
him. The others are of little impor-
lance, living their lives more or less as
servants to the first wife. As the first
wife gets to middle age she is known
as the begum.-Pearson's Weekly.

Investment BARGAINS.

The investor who picks up desira-
BILE property when everybody is SELL
ing and no one buying will have to
wait only a reasonable time to secure
his reward. l recall when real estate
in several large cities was a drug on
the market. Everybody seemed anx-
ious to sell and no one to buy, but
the buyers in those periods have real
lied enormous profits, far greater than
one can get in the Stock Exchange.
The maR who has money, even If it is
but a small amount, can always turn
It over to advantage If he will wait
for the opportunity. Don't go with
the crowd when every one is wild to
buy something, but quietly abide an
opportunity when everybody is anx-
ious to unload and buyers are few. At
such time the bargain counter opens.

story of a Fortune.

Peter Thelussen, q London merchant
died In 1877, leaving fortune of f7OC;-
O0O. By his will 100000 went to his
wife and children. The rest of his for
tune was committed to trustees, with
the stipulation that it should be allow
ed to accumulate during the lives Of
the sons and grandsons. When they
were all dead the fortune was to 90
70 the oldest living great-grandson, or
u there should be no great-grandson
It should go to the government and be
applied on the national debt. The will
was contested, but the heirs were un-
able to break 1t. The last grandson
died In 1859, and the fortune was de-
hvered to Charles Thelussen, the old
est living great-grandson. At the time
the will was made experts figured out
that the fortune would amount to
something like 100000 by the time
1t should be turned over to the great
grandson. but the expenses Of litiga-
don and administration had been so
great that he received only about the
amount of the original fortune, f7OO,.

How Cotton Varies,

Cotton is usually differentiated In or
binary classification by the length Of
Its staple. Ordinary cotton" in the
United States is Of several kinds, chief
among them the upland cotton, with
staple Of from seven-eighths to one
inch In length, and gulf Of Texas cot
ton, Of which the staple is not usual
ly quite so long. The longest stapled
cottons among the Ordinary cottons"
here are the bottom land or bender
cotton, with a staple Of from one and
one-eighth to one and one-fourth inch.
and the special fancy staple cotton, one
and three-eighths to one and five
eighths inch in length. The sea island
cotton, which Is grown on the sea Is
lands off the coast Of South Carolina.
has a staple Of from one and a half to
two and a half inches, the average
length being one and three-fourths.
Egyptian cotton is being grown in
southern California, New Mexico and
Arizona. Its staple is not so long as
the sea island cotton, but compares
rather with the upland cotton here.

Odd Cures For Seasickness,

Among curious remedies for seasick-
ness is that which is popular among
the mariners in the levant-the daily
swallowing Of iron rust, which Is OBJ
tanned by the simple process Of scrap
ing it off the anchor or anchor chain.
But this Is only part Of the treatment,
for a small pouch containing roasted
salt and flowers of thyme must be tied
upon the abdomen as firmly as can be
borne, this being considered to counter
act the effect of the internal disturb
ance caused by the rolling Of the YES
sci. Known to the ancient Greeks as
"thymian salt" the preparation has at
least the authority Of old age, while
its efficacy Is not without modern tes-
timony. And the belt is better than
salt and faith better than the belt.

The Spit of Ceremony.

Among the Akikuyu Of East Africa,
described by Mr.. and Mrs. W. s. Rout-
ledge in with a Prehistoric People"
to spit upon person or thing indicates
good will 1.-The blacksmith spits upon
the sword he has forged before hand
ing it over to the owner. So, too,
courtesy demands that a man should
spit in his hand before offering it to a
friend, and the female visitors spit
upon the newly arrived youngster as a
sign Of welcome" Even in England
there are relics Of the same custom In
the habit among the lower classes of
splitting on a coin.
