"I saw one day," writes Mr. Hugh ` Fisher, "a rather elaborate dance by Tibettira peasants on -an open space of grass, an old tradi- tional performance called the `Aniban dance,' which is supposed to represent the homage of a group of villages to the `4.mban,' an emis- sary of the Chinese Government (the figure with a peacock feather in his hat), and which included •a numberof grotesque mythological crea- tures such as a peacock, a turtle, and two fearsome looking dragons.• The dance was exectfted with great gusto,.,and an obvious sense of hu- mor, which' more than compensates in the Thibetan for a reputed care- lessness inthe matter of personal ablutions. .

' Bake in a moderate oven ten or fifteen minutes. Halibut Salad—As the basis for it, take from one-half pound to a pound and a half of halibut, de- 'pending upon the number of persons to be served. The dressing as .gier- en below will be sufficient for the larger quantity.; :Boil the amount of halibut desired, and when it is cool, flake it, and mix with it the juice of half a lemon, one-half tea- spoonful of salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Cover it and let it stand one hour.. Make a dress- ing of one teaspoonful of mustard, one teaspoonful of salt, two tea- spoonfuls of flour, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of 'Sugar, one tea- spoonful of melted butter, a pinch of cayenne, the yolk of one egg, and one-third of a cupful of vinegar.

Finger nails that are manicured every week will retain their delicacy and lustre much longer than triose that are neglected, The time to eat 'a turkey (says an authority), given 'crisp, cold wea- ther, is ten, days or a fortnight from the date of killing, If grease is spilled upon the kit- ehen stove throw a heedful of salt npon it, and ibwill prevent any disagreeable odor from `arising. A. little vinegar kept boiling on the stove while onions or cabbage are cooking will prevent the dis- agreeable odor going through the house. Never wear one pair of shoes all the time unless obliged to do so, Two pairs of boots worn a day at a time alternately gives more service, and are much more healthy.. When making a ground rice pud- ding a great .improvement to- it is to acldtwo teaspoonfuls of cornflour. to the mixture: This makes it very creamy, and adds greatly to the flavor. To remove scorch marks from lin- en take an onion, cut it, in half, and rub' the scorched places with it.. Then wash in cold water, leave to soak for ;an, hour or two, and the mark will disapear. Before baking potatoes let them stand in hot water for fifteen` min- utes. • They' will require only half the time for baking, are more mealy and palatable: It. often happene that new kid gloves split the first time they are tried on. To prevent this place. them between the folds of a damp towel for about an hour before they are to be worn. The damp will stretch the kid; so that the gloves give to the required shape without splitting, When a chimney is on fire the first thing to do is to shut off the supply of air by closing all the windows and .doors. A large supply of sul- phur, or, failing that, common salt,. should be placed on the fire, so as to produce a vapor, which will de- stroy the flames. A wet blanket or rug should be held over the fireplace opening so as to cut off the supply of . air as completely as possible: r R,. CURES COUGHS & COLDS "The Last 'Supper" in Tattoo.

Both They and Rats Semi to 'Flour- ;sh in Met Years. Among the curiosities of natural history, that last year produced. in England is to be noted the extra- ordinary multiplication of the hedgehog. On some of the heavy lends of the Midland's they have been found hibernating in such numbers as no native has innagined possible. ' This is the more curious as other mammals, . especially rabbits, are singularly scarce. The rabbits were drowned in hundreds. Their bodies were seen floating down the brooks, and a certain number\ of leverets were also killed by the wet. What should make these rather- obscure animals flourish is mysterious; but both they and the rat seem to mul- tiply in wet years. In the places where these hedge- hogs are so numerous there is a great dearth of partridges, and the two facts are by sone connected. It is not unlikely that the number. of thele animals has forced 'thein anto.,ar,mather >less vegetarian diet than is usual, and some nests were rifled.. Bt it is only when the num- bers are excessive that any English animal is: out'of place.in the econo- my of the country. There is room even for the wild cat, which has re- cently been ,. rediscovered in the north, where it was held to be ex- tinct. IN A SHADOW. Inveterate Tea. 'Drinker Feared. Paralysis. Steady use of either tea or coffee often produces alarming symptoms, as the poison (caffeine) contained in these beverages acts - with more potency in some persons than in others. "I was never a coffee drinker," writes an Ill. woman, "but a tea drinker. I was very nervous,' had frequent spells of sick headache and heart trouble, and was subject at times to severe .attacks of bilious colic. "No end of sleepless nights -- would have spells at night when my right . side would get numb and tingle like a thousand needled were pricking_ my flesh. At times I could hardly put nay tongue out of my mouth and my right eye and ear were affected. "The doctors told me 1 was li- able to become paralyzed at any time, so I was -in constant dread. I took no end of medicine—all to no good. "The doctors told me to quit us ing tea, but I thought 1 could not live without it -that it was my only stay. I had been a tea drinker, for twenty-five years; was under the doctor's care for fifteen. "About six months ago, I finally quit tea and commenced -to drink Postum, "I havenever had one spell of sick headache since and only, one light attaek of bilious colic. Aave quit having those numb spells at night, sleep well and my heart is getting stronger' all the tame:" Name given upon request.

She Roamed the I)arlc Forests. of England—A Strange Ape -lace Creature. Through the dark forests of our laird there roamed, many hundreds of thousands of years ago, a strange, hairy •ape -like, creature, a female member cf a curious race, from whom. all ,other animals shrank, says the London Daily Ex- press. She wee a new type, posses- sing a .thew cunning and an amazing. power over the other denizens of the foreat, for she could do what they could note -use implements, and clothe herself in ,skins. She was the ancestress 'of the English race of to -day and her skull, which was discovered in Sus sex, was recently exhibited before. the Geographical Society, Now scientists are endeavoring to form- ulate sons idea Of her appearance and habits. What was she like and how dpi d she Heel " This ancestress of the human race in England had some resemblance to a chirrnpanzee, walking' with ' a, shuffling .gait. Her body was prob- ably covered with hair. She could not speak, but as she ambled along she uttered strange noises. When she was hungry she dug roots and vegetables 'from the ground and devoured them just as they were. Living among the rocks, the only protection she pos- sessed from the cold was a skin,' rudely fashioned in the form of a cloak. Used Stone Spear. When she 'hunted she used no dogs to help her traek her prey; she end her companions followed their quarry and killed it with a stone spear or hatchet. This was the picture of the . pos- sessor of the Sussex ekull, drawn by Mr. Smith Woodward ,of the South Kensington Natural History Museum. "She, lived," said. Dr: S:oiith Woodward, "in either the pleisto- cease or the early pliocene period. If she lived in the former, most of the existing topography of this part of Europe was already formed, the only difference 'being that the bed of the North Sea and the English Channel was dry land through which rivers flowed. If she lived in the ploeeme period,, her age goes back eo far that scarcely .any of the existing topographical features were then evident. "The skull is the oldest ever yet seen and belongs to the lowest type of human being yet found. In most respects she had the appearance of a chimpanzee, yet certainfeatures in her brain which characterize the human race were just beginning to show. Preparing for .Speech. "According to Professor Elliot Smith, that part of the brain direct- ly connected with the faculty of speech, was only .just beginning .to be prominent, and it iscurious that the brain should prepare ;for this faculty before the organs that are to exercise it are ready, "Another curious point is that, although it has been drown, judg- ing fromthe discoveries, that this creature used tools ana implements,, a tgiven the monkey race have no any proof that they have the intelli- gence to ntelli-genceto •do so.

The housewife in this country would receive a severe chock if she were, to encounter some of the East African varieties of rats in her pan- try mousetrap: The largest variety _- of, rat — the giant rat — attains alarming proportions. These giant rats would give the most earnest cat • bad dreams, and a rough time if she were to encounter one of them on her marauding expedi- tions. Mr, A. J. Klein, taxidermist, Nairobi, who is collecting .local specimens for an American mu- seum, has some half a dozen exam- ples. The rat varies from two feet to over. 32 inches in length.. The body, which is half its total length, is the color of an ordinary mouse, but is as large as that of a eat. The tail is sometimes an inch and a half and more in circumference at the base, and varies fro+an 16 inch- es nches to- a foot long.
