oven, and letting them remain long
enough to brown and become crisp. They
will taste as if just baked, and are especi-
ally grateful to the palate of an invalid if
thus restored TO their normal condition.
Very often Il screw hole gets so worn
that the screw will not stay in. Where
glne is handy, the regular carpenter
makes the hole larger and CLUES in large
| plug, making nest for an entirely new
hole. But this is not always the case, and
people without tools, and in an emergen-
cy, often have TO fix the thing at once.
| Generally leather is used, but this is so
hard that it does not hold well. The best
of all things is to cut narrow strips of
cork and fill the hole completely. Then
force the screw in. This will make as
tight a job as if driven into an entirely
new hole.
"A late well known member of the
| Scottish bar, when youth, was somewhat
Of II dandy, and, l suppose, somewhat
short and sharp in his temper. He was
going to pay visit in the country, and
was making great fuss about his prepar-
ing and putting up his habiiments. His
old aunt was much annoyed ut all the
hustle, and stopped him by the somewhat
contcmptuous question, 'Whar's this
you're gaun, Robby, that ye max sic
grand wark about yer claes?' The young
man lost temper, and pettishly replied,
I'm going to the devil Deed, Robby,
them was the quiet answer, ye medina
be sac nice; he'll juist tax ye as ye are. "
A writer in the Independent says No
wonder so many mothers seem fit candi-
dates for canonizaton. They have supe-
rior means Of grace, while the fathers are
allowed TO tuck themselves away in the
spare bed, out of reach of the racket, or to
hurry off downtown "to business, you
know" 1t is high time this feminine
monopoly of saintship came to perpetual
end. Would | set men tending baby?
| Why not? Does not the child belong to
the father, as well rs the mother? Let its
custody be decided by the courts, and 10
which parent do they generally give the
case? A man, Ivy will. can dispose of the
guardianship of his unborn infant. Is not
the woman taxed severely enough in Civ
ing birth to the child and sustaining it
from her own strength, without tho addi-
tional burden Of all the wakeful nights
and wearing days, especially when she is
laid under like contribution every two or
three years? Men who love their wives
rs Christ loved the church cannot fail to
do their part in taking care of their chill
dren.
"Some years ago, when it was not an
uncommon thing, even in Scotland, for
challenges to be given and accepted for
Insults, Or supposed insults, an English
gentleman was entertaining party at
Inyergess with in account of the wonders
he had seen, and the deeds he had per-
formed in India, from whence he had
lately arrived. lie enlarged particularly
upon the size of the tigers he had met
with at different times in his travels, and
by way of corroborating his statements,
assured the company that he had shot one
himself cons delablv above forty feet long.
A Scottish gentleman present, who thought
these narratives rather exceeded u travel
cr S allowed privileges, coolly said that no
doubt those were very remarkable tigers;
but that he could assure the gentleman
there were in the northern part of the
an example he cited the existence "s
skate fish captured off Thurso, exceeding
half an acre in extent. The Englishman
saw this was intended as a sarcasm
against his own story; so he left the room

story cooly replied, 'Weel, sir, gin yer

the breadth o. the skate. "
