REVIVAL OF ANCIENT LEGEND..
Weird Tale of "Wandering Jew" lies
Been Revived in Russia.
Reappearance of the "Wandering
Jew" is 'told instories emanating re-
cently from Russia. The last previous
appearance of the "Wandering Jew"
was in Brussels, 145 years ago, and
since that time the mythological
stories of the ancient Hebrew travel-
ing the world over since the crucifiion
of Christ, have been unheard.
The sad fate of the loquacious He-
brew seen fn Belgium 145 years ago
aroused much sympathy among the
people. He soon disappeared and was
not heard of again until the world
war brought his resurrection in Rus-
sia a few years ago.
According to the traditions of the
"Wandering Jew," Jesus was being
dragged forth to the crucifixion, and
as he passed through Pilate's door, a
young porter struck him on the back
and cried. "Go quicker. Jesus; go
quicker! Why do you loiter?"
Whereupon Jesus answered, "I ani
going and you will wait until I re-
turn?" At that time Cartaphilus, the
porter who struck Jesus, was thirty
years old, and, says the myth, each
time he reaches the age of 100 he re-
turns to the ago of thirty and begins
over again.
It is declared that Cartaphilus first
lived in Armenia. In 1542, it is al-
leged, the "Wandering Jew" appeared
in Germany, under the name of Ahas-
uerus. Later, in 1579, he appeared in
Holland, and a little later in Stras-
bourg. The jew was neit heard. of in
the West Indies anT then in France.
The stories of his appearance being
barefooted, eivith long hair; clad in a
petticoat\,and mantle, seem to h ve
been corroborated .by the varis
countries he has frequented.

REPTILES AS A
TABLE DELICACY
CONSiDERED A DAINTY DISH IN
SOME COUNTRIES.
White Ants, Tigers, Elephants and
Bats Furnish the Bill of Fare
in Many Districts.
Every nation has, its staple dishes;
but the odds and ends are the more in-
teresting and in their way more indi-
cative of the general status of the
civilization of those partaking of
them.
Mankind on the whole has an in-
stinctive dislike to reptiles of every
kind and degree; yet of the four

fists divided'thein-•--•the saurian, ophi-
dian, batrachian, and chelonian—each
affords sustenance to man, civilized or
savage. So in some parts of the world
it is a "cut from the alligator," not
"from the joint,and a Barky waiter
may bawl his order of "Boiled snake—
one!"
A peculiarly dainty and nourishing
dish is made with the iguana, the
flesh of which is as white as that of
a chicken and jupt as palatable; al-
though the appearance of the reptile,
with its scaly, blaci .spotted green
coat, is more repulsive than either
crocodile or alligator. To the inhabi-
tants of the West Indies and the Ba-
hamas the iguana is a much -valued
source of food, and is hunted down by
means of dogs, which are muzzled to
prevent them using their teeth and
damaging the iguanas, which are sold
alive, or killed, salted and barreled
for home consumption. The flesh of
the reptile is usually served up boiled
or stemmed, together with a dish of
clarified iguana fat, sometimes season-
ed, into which the very savory meat
is dipped as it is eaten. The eggs of
the iguana are also much relished,
and aro like hens' eggs in taste, but
wholly filled with yolk and do not be-
come hard in boiling. The horrid
iguana of San Aomiuga is much zip.
preciated by the bons vivants in the
West Indies, the flesh tasting just like
roebuck's, although infinitely more de-
licate.
Africans Like Green Lizards,
The common green lizard is eaten
with much gusto by many tribes in
Africa; and in the south of Portugal
the gray lizard is eaten, both baked
and fried, the dish fn both instances
tasting rather like chicken. In Brazil
a green -and -yellow snake is consumed
by all classes; while among the Sar-
dinians the adder is frequently added
to broths and soups.
Crocodile flesh is publicly sold in
the meat markets of Senaar, in Africa,
and in Siam one sees the carcasses
hung up for sale like sheep in the
butchers' shops. The flesh of this
great aquatic lizard tastes somewhat
like veal, although to Occidentals it
has a faint fishy smell. In South
America the cayman, or ailigator, af'
fords a dish, when boiledor dried,
which is said to be just as tasty as
rabbit.
Turtle Ponds of the Amazon.
A single turtle of the Amazon is a
heavy toad for a strong man; but
though much larger than the Carib-
bean species, it is coarser in flesh.
At Ego, every house has its turtle
pond, which is stocked for th'e winter
when the Amazon runs low. There
are several excellent methods of pre-
paring turtle for the table. The Bra-
zilians cut steaks from the breast and
roast them.
On the continent the tortoise takes
the place of the turtle, where the rep-
tiles are fattened on bread and let-
tuce leaves, that is to say, in normal
tunes_, The mud tortoise is preferred
in Provence and Languedoc, where, as
in Italy and Greece, its blood is drunk,
and its eggs and flesh are cooked, to
satisfy the Lenten hunger of the de-
vout, the tortoise being considered by
the clergy as a fish.
Of the batrachians used as food,the
frog is the most popular and most his-
torical; the French, Germans, Ital-
ians and Belgians, all being noted
throughout the centuries for their
frog -eating proclivities. The frog is
in best condition for the table in the
autumn, juet before it takes to the
waster for the winter,' but is most
popular as food during the spring,
for it is then easier to catch. The
French ustu lly eat only the hind quar-
ters, dressed in wine or
served with I
a white sauce, when it is an exceed-
ingly dainty and nourishing dish,

Where Bear's. Flesh is Eaten,.
But there are many tastes in the
dietary of the nations. In many parts
of Europe bear's flesh, is in great de-
mand, even in normal times, being es-
teemed a great delicacy; and smoked
bear's tongue and hams are also high-
ly prized. From bear liver are made
sausages dear to the stomach of the
Teuton.
Tiger Beall is eaten In .many parts
of India, though it is somewhat tough
and. sinewy. Lion's flesh is very good
to eat, we are told, and much in favor
among the Hottentots and other South
African tribes, who are also as fond
of rhinoceros as any goad Occidental
is of a good steak. Rhinoceros flesh
is said to taste something like beef

the wings, an especially edible ant -
mal.
A Condition Due Entirely to
Poor, Watery ]Mood.,
The girt who returns borne from
school or from work thoroughly tired
out will be fortunate if she escapes a
physical breakdown, because this get-
ting tired so easily is probably the
first warning symptom of a thinning
blood that must not be disregarded if
her health is to be preserved.
Wheih the blood becomes thin and
impure the patient becomes thin, pale,
haggard and angulsr. She not only'
tires out easily but suffers from head-
aches, palpitation of the heave, dizzy
spells and a loss of appetite. This
condition will go from bad to worse,
until perhaps fatal consumption sets
in, if prompt steps are not taken to
increase and enrich the blood supply.
To make the ricb, red blood. that
brings the glow of health, no medicine
yet discovered can equal Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. If given a fair trial their
use brings rosy cheeks, bright eyes, a

sands of pale, languid girls active and

HOW TO TREAT SILAGE.
Shut Out Air, Retain Moisture, to
Keep in Condition.
To keep silage in good condition the
air must be shut out and the moisture
retained. The silo walls, therefore,
should be both air and water tight.
All other farm buildings require a cer-
tain amount of care and repair, and
so does the silo. By painting the
wooden stave silo on the outside 'with
a good grade of paint, and using some
preservative, such as creosote, on the
inside, the wood . should last many
years, remain waterproof and in good
condition.
The interiors of all concrete silos
require waterproofing with a cement
wash, or some waterproofing com-
pound at the time of construction, and
usually every few years afterward.
This ells up the pores. sealing the
wall so that it will be air -tight. One of
a methods of 'waterproof-
ingcheapest in p
ing the silo is simply to use a creamy
'paste of cement applied over the en-
tire inside surface with a whiteidash
brush.
PAINT FOR PRESERVATION.
Property waste due to deterioration
and decay in Canada constitutes a
problem of paramount and far reach-
ing importance.
Continuation of the present tre
naendous loss vitally affects the.econo-.
alio future of the country. If with
the cessationof war, we are to enter
successfully upon a period; of recon-
struction and expansion it is impera-
tive that conservation go hand in hand
with development. It is as necessary
to conserve created wealth as it is to
prevent waste of national resources.
Nature in time may restore devastated
forest areas but it fakes human labor
to raise anew or repair property that
has decayed from lack of protective.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR
Make this beauty lotion for a few
cents and see for yourself.
What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon, juice
alone, is acid, therefore irritating
and should be mixed witls orchard
white this way: Strain through a fine
cloth the juice of two fresh lemons
into a bottle containing about three
ounces of iirchard white then shake
well and you have a whole quarter
pint of skin and complexion lotion
at about the cost one usually pays for
a small' jar of ordinary cold cream.
Be sure to strain the lemon juice so
no pulp gets into the bottle, then this
lotion will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
face, .neck, arms and hands it should
help to bleach, clear, smoothen and
beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.
