Buttermilk Kills a Fish.

About fifteen years ago Colonel Will.
ingham of Albany, Ga, was putting up
a mill at the B.ue Spring. The car.
penter having the work in charge gen.
orally footed it from Albany every
morning, eating his breakfast at hors
and taxing his dinner bucket along.
The mechanic was fond of buttermilk
and generally took about half gallon
in big bottle, which he corked tightly
and hung by string in tn, cold waters
of the spring until dinner time. 0ns
day he hung his bottle as usual; bu!
when he went for it at DON it was miss
ing and the string broken. The poor
fellow thought as matter of course
that some rogue had got it. A few
days afterwsrd Tom Clark was fishing
down the creek and came upon an i'm.
mense rock fish burst "clean" open,
and pieces of the buttermilk bottle ~
ing all about. Toms theory is that tho
fish swallowed the bottle, the butter
milk effervesced, and the fish wui
goner. = Atlanta Constitution.

Rapidity in Novel Publishing.

How TO Eat a Soft Boiled Egg.

The very incest way of eating a soft
boiled egg is from the shell, says Table
Talk, OF Philadelphia. Place the small
end of the egg into an egg cup, or you
may stand it in a small napkin ring
The large or butt end of the egg should
have the shell removed from it; then if
you take away small piece of the
white you have ample room for salt,
pepper and a small piece of butter,
which may b; mixed with the egg with
out difficulty. Long-handlei porcelain
teaspoons are the incest and only pr oper
things to serve with boiled eggs. Soft
boiled eggs may also DC eaten from 6
heated egg glass; the egg being opened
carefully and turned into the glass.
Salt, black pepper and butter are the
proper seasonings.

The Berthon canvas folding boat is
likely to be adopted for use in the United
States navy. 1t has been tried and the
reports upon the trial are favorable to
the adoption of the boat. 1t consists of
o frame similar to the keel and ribs of
a boat, over which is drawn a double
thickness of waterproof canvas. The
frame is hinged along the keel. When
the thwarts are taken out the sides come

A new use is announced for strych-

briate for drink is sad to be changed
into positive aversion in day, and that
after treatment of eight or ten days the
patient may be discharged. Even should
the appetite return months afterward,

is claimed, produce such painful and
nauseating sensation that the person will
turn away from the liquor in disgust.
