The popular view of the close con' nectlon between fat and good nature and weight and balance is not wholly without rational foundation. Fat, un pleasant and stodgy as It Is. la one of the most valuable tissues In tho bu man body, and any man who reduces his share of It below a certain reason able level not only takes the smooth edge off his temper and balance off his powers of judgment, but exposes all of his higher tissues, notably the mus cular, nervous and secreting, to dan ger of both starvation and disease. A moderate cushion of fat Is one of the best buffers and bucklers against the "slings and arrows of outrageous for tune," whether In the form of disease germs or In strains upon endurance. The man who makes himself Into a lean and hungry Cnsslus even with the best of intentions Is very apt to get himself Into a stnte of both mind and body where bo Is more fit for treason, stratagem and spoils than for comfort, wholesomeness and a long, happy life. Dr. Woods Hutchinson in Outing. A Wast Indian Fish Dish. A novelty to the Jndcd pnlnte and a delightful luncheon or supper dish Is mcde of equal quantities of potatoes and fish, halibut or cod preferred. Butter well a deep baking dish nnd first put In a layer of breadcrumbs, then a layer of sliced onions, then a layer of the fish. Cut In fnlrly small pieces and entirely free from skin and bones. Season well and repent until tho dish Is nearly filled. Sprinkle each layer with small bits of butter. Now pour over it all a pint of tomato ketchup nnd finish with a layer of but tered breadcrumbs. A layer of sliced tomatoes may be put In and will Im prove the flavor. Bake In a very slow oven for at least four hours and baste three or four times with a mixture of vinegar, flour and water, wntchlug It carefully to prevent scorching. This dish has an unpronounceable nnd de cidedly unspellable name, but it Is very good and decidedly out of the ordinary, Philadelphia Press. The Absolut Zero. What Is the absolute zero of temper ature? The zero of thermometers Is purely conventional. The Inventor of the centigrade simply took for zero the coldest temperature known In his day, while Fahrenheit had even less ground for his selection. Absolute zero Is a point fixed by nature and may be arrived at In a variety of ways. All gases expand or contract equal amounts for every degree ot heat. The amount of 1-273 of their volume for each degree centigrade. If, then, a gas Is cooled down contln uously It must reach a point at which further contraction Is impossible. If a gns loses 1-273 of Its volume at each downward degree of centigrade then In 273 degrees It would exhaust this power and become a solid; hence (minus) 273 O. Is the absolute zero of temperature. This answers to 461 F. Louisville Courier-Journal. Belief In Ghosts. In most of the Oriental countries, notably in China and In many quar ters in Europe, the belief in gbosts Is still active, quite as much so as it was a thousand years ago. The peasantry of Russia, and especially of Siberia, are in constant dread of ghosts, and much of tbelr time is taken op with devising ways and means of safeguard' ing themselves against their vislta tions. Not even in the United States of America is the ancient superstition defunct The negroes are notorious be lievers in ghosts, and thousands of white people, remote from tho center of Intelligence, are still the victims of the old idea. New York American. Able, but Not Willing. "Come, now," persisted the lawyer, "are you not able to say of your own knowledge that the defendant was In the room at the time and objected to the whole proceeding?" Tea, sir," savagely replied the wit ness. "I am able to say It, I reckon, but I'd be telling the biggest lie you ever heard of if I did." Sensitive. "Ah," be protested, "my love for yon Is the greatest thing In the world. It is larger than the world. It Is wider than the sea. Let me pour it into your ears." "Sir," ejaculated the fair maid, "do Sou mean to Insinuate anything about the size or shape of my ears?" An Old Superstition. It was a common superstition In an cient Italy that If a woman were found spinning on a highroad the crop would be ruined for that year. In most sections of Italy a woman was forbid den by law thus to spin or even to car ry an uncovered spindle on the high way. Some Sacrifice.

Grow Smiles and Keep Young. See to it that, when- young, smiles rather tbnn frowns ap pear most frequently ou your faces, for you are provided with muscles that by their use will leave Hues which will tell the story of your lives. Do not bor row trouble about the Irregular ity of your features, but see to it that you use the facial muscles so as to leave a story of kind ness nnd sweetness of disposi tion. In order that the mask may be a truthful one. mukesure that you are really kind and lov ing, and then you will not have to think of the record of the face. While young learn that jiou have to a certain extent the modeling of your face. The Whistling Jugs of Peru. The potters of ancient Peru used to manufacture an ingenious musical In trument which may very properly be called a whistling jig. In collections of antiquities It is called a sllvador or sllvlo. Specimens are obtained from the ancient burial placet of Peru. One of these consists of two vases, whose bodies are joined one to the other, with a hole or opening between them. The neck of one of these vessels Is closed, with the exception of a small opening In which a clay pipe is Inserted, load- lug to the body of the whistle. The closed Deck of this double vase Is modeled Into a representation of a bird's head. When a liquid is poured Into the open necked vase the air Is compressed in the other, and In escap ing through the narrow opening Is forced into the whistle, fa vibration producing sounds. Many of these Bounds represent the notes of birds one in the collection at the British museum imitates the notes of the robin or some other member of the thrush tribe, peculiar to Peru. Harper's Weekly. A Shave In China. The Rev. Louis Byrde, a missionary, gives an interesting account in a Lon don paper of a shuve in China. He writes: "The greatest treat which I only give on special occasions is a mid' day shave in public. In the early morn lng a Chinese inn is terribly dark, and at night bed soon claims one. I select a table at the street front (the whole front Is formed of movable doors, which are entirely taken away during the day) and, provided with tbe neces sarles, commence operations. Fifty or sixty people stand round In ranks, the innermost circles consisting of children and the outer rings of men and mothers with tbelr babes. Not a word Is uttered: all eyes are fixed first on the shaving brush as tbe soap Is lath ered on the face, and then on tbe razor as the stubble falls. The Chinese never shave themselves, and possibly to see a man handling a razor on himself may suggest that be is about to commit haraklrl In their village." Bucked the Tiger. The forest land of southern India possesses a breed of buffaloes vastly superior to the ungainly creatures of the plains. They are shaggy haired and massive, with thick, short horns, and possess Immense strength. A herd of these buffaloes was grazing when a tiger came out of the forest near by. The herdsman shouted, beat his staff on the ground and tried to scare away the brute, but it would not be scared and sprang upon him, knocked him down and stood over him snarling. ne gave himself up for lost when tbe bull of the herd charged savagely upon the tiger and knocked blm fully twen ty feet. The attack was so sudden and the shock so great that It took all the fight out of the tiger. He gathered himself up In a dazed way and actual ly slunk off into the forest The bull shook himself, bellowed, pursued his enemy a few yards and then went quietly to feeding as if vanquishing a tiger were an everyday occurrence. The Seismograph. The seismograph Is a most Interest lng Instrument It is kept in a sub- basement room, far from disturbing in fluences. There It records upon a strip of paper such earthquakes as may bap pen anywhere. The scientists then study the strip of paper and herald to the world the news that the tremor which shook down several cities was duly registered. Tbe seismograph is a remarkable contrivance, though in Just what way is not yet determined, nowever, in the Interests of science, It is as valu nble as would be tbe Imprint of the hoof upon the seat of the trousers of a man who bad been kicked by a mule. After tbe event be could study tbe im print and assure himself that he had been kicked. Life. Ample Apology. An Irish lawyer once addressed the court as "gentlemen" Instead of "your honors." After he had concluded a brother of the bar reminded him of his error. He immediately arose and apologized thus: "May it please the court, In the heat of debate 1 called yer honors gentlemen. I made a mis take, yer honors." Then he sat down, and If the court was not satisfied it did not disclose tbe fact Case and Comment Monkey Bread. African baobabs (also called monkey bread, sour gourd and lalo plant) were computed by Adnmson, noted traveler, to have endured for 6,150 years. Na tlves use the hollowed out trunks of these enormous trees as places of de posit for executed criminals whom the law denies the rights of burial. A Glum Prospect "We who ride in trolley cars today may ride in automobiles tomorrow," said the optimist "And in hearses the following day," said the pessimist Birmingham Age- Herald. Rise a Little Higher. Those who live on tho mountains have a longer day than those who live In the, valley. Sometimes all we need to brighten our day is to rise a little higher. Extremes of Temperature. Science reasons that (be lowest tem peratures at the earth's surface are not found directly at the poles, but at some distance to tbe south of the north pole and to the north of tbe south pole. Likewise tbe greatest de gree of beat Is not, as might be sup posed, to be found at tbe equator, but prevails at some distance to the north and to the south of that Imaginary line. Tbe coldest place on tbe earth's surface of which tliero is authentic record Is In Siberia. The lowest tem perature ever recorded In the open air was 90 degrees below zero F. nt Wer- chajansk, central Siberia, on Jan. 15, 1885. The highest temperature of which there is an autbeutic record Is 124 degrees above zero F. in Algeria, northern Africa, on July 17, 1879. These places of extreme beat and ex treme cold give a range of tempera ture covering the whole inhabited world of 214 degrees, or two degrees more than from zero to the boiling point. A T.A.P.
