How the italian Niilmln Docs It.

In0ticed some days that milk was
very, very thin. / had stood by whilst
it was miIksd; what, then. could be
the cause ? When 1 Cams across rny
milkmau the second or third evening
he was milking for an italian and [
was surprised when 7 saw the latter
SUDDENLY step up 10 The man who was
milking and squeeze him by the arm
As surprising as was this action, how
ever, the result was still more so-a
stream Of water was rejected from the
milkman's sleeve, and 1 then understood
how milk can DO wateTed before oue's
eyes without ones detectingit. l hap

American Consul, and he assured me
the trick was quite common. \ bag Of
water is kept under tie coat and let

A Terrier ProyOkes a Jaguar.

Two good-sized terriers lived at the
Zoologi cal Garden and kept the rats,
with which the place abounds, in NOR
tai terror OF their lives.
For some time past the large jsguar
at the Zoo" has been keeping his eye
on them. Recently one dog was pranc-
ing about the jaguar's cage barking at
a great rat, as if daring him out. The
Gagged animal saw he was being tantal-
IZed and crouched in ore corner of the
cage and patiently awaited his chance.
It came sooner than was expected, for
the terrier, bounding past the narrow
opening at the bottom of the cage, saw
something dart foreward, and a great
yelping told plainly that the dog had
been caught. The isguar had seized
him by the throat, and drawing him
close TO the iron bars with his claws
tore open the terriers throat aud dropp.
ed his mangled remains in a pile upon
the floor. Satisfied with his work the
jaugar resumed his ceaseless pace up
and down the cage, every now and then
stopping to look at the other dog, who
was shiyering in a corner near by afraid
TO stir.

outside of commercial circles she can

she can do with pin There are some
women who can pin glass knob TO a

around a billiard table with nothing

She can go to town and do a wear1.
some days shopping, and have a good
time with three or four friends without
drinking a keg OF beer. She can enjoy
an evening without smoking half a
dozen cigars. She can endure the tor
turing distraction OF a house full of
children all day, while her husband
cuffs them bowling to bed before he

Advantage OF Covering Plants.

y mulch or covering should consist
of manure, as it will DC saving OF labor,
and the plants vii! get the benefit Of The
matter dissolved by the rains. The
covering is not intended to keep the
plants warm, as that is impossible, but
to prevent the ground from warming
too early or too suddenly. 1t is just as
important to mulch in those sections
where the climate is mild rs it Is TO do
so where the winters are severe, owing
To the alternate freezing and thawing
of the ground. If the ground is frozen
1t can be partially kept in that condi-
tion by the mulch. which prevents the
plants from being thrown up out OF the
soil, and also from beginning growth
too early in the season. In this section
the winter is seldom very cold previous
to January, aud the necessity for a
mulch is greater IN mild winter than
at any other time, owing to the liabil-
ity of the plants to begin 10 grow too
early.

The list of things that can be eaten
from the fingers is on the increase. 1t
includes al! bread, toast, taIts and
small cakes, celery, and asparagus,
when served whole, as it should be,
either hot or cold lettuce, which must
be crumbled in the fingers and dipped
in salt o; sauce olives, to which a
fork should never be put any more than

strawberries, when served with the
stems on, as they should be, are touch
ed to pulverized sugar cheese In all
forms except Brie or Roquetort or
Cumpefort, aud fruit OF all kinds ex-
cept preserves or melons. The latter

gence is being shown, and you cannot,
if you are well bred. make any very
bad mistake in this direction, especial
ly when the finger bowl stands by you
and the napkin is handy.
