Swallowed a Live Fish.

While dance was at its zenith of
pleasure at the residence OF Mr.. Claw
son, bucket of water was drawn from
the well and brought in which contained
a sucker fish about five inches long. The
fish had been placed in the well by the
children. The appearance of the sucker
in the drinking water caused comment
by the company, during which one of
the young yeomanry lowed he could
swaller the reptile fer fun er money"
This observation occasioned no little
bantering and bullyragging. until finally
he was told that he would be given 81 if
he would throw it under his collar

the yawning gullet like a well CREASED
toboggan, its extended fins raking the
sides with sort of ripping sound as of
laceration, and sickening to hear. The
feat accomplished, the swallower unbut-
toned his shirt collar, gave himself a
fiirt and shake, and proclaimed in loud
voice that he could ''swaller live dog
with his tail curIed over his back, catch

bluff Off bluff it was), for no one doubted
his ability to do so; and this. coupled
with the fear that the passage OF a dog
might imperil his diaphragm, brought
the side show diversion to a close and

Cabbage in Half an Hour.

For the benefit of the mothers who
may think either l or the cooking
school have gone astray on the matter
of cooking cabbage, want to empha-
size here the advantage of the new
way over the old. 1 was as sceplical
over the notion of cabbage being prop
erly cooked in half an hour, as any one
of you can be; but my first experiment
corrected me, and all who tasted this
maligned vegetable served after the
new method declared themselves sur
prised.
Have plenty of salted, boiling water,
in which a teaspOonful of soda has
been dissolved, plunge the cabbage in,
top downward, leave it uncovered and
let it boil until tender, that will be, as
given in the time table, from twenty
minutes to half au hour. Take it out
into a cOlander, drain well, put into a
hot dish, put in bits of butter, some
salt and pepper, and serve at once. 1t
will be as delicate as caulihower; the
color will be retained and there will
not be an unpleasant OdOr over the
house, such as is always associated
with boiling cabbage. Try it once, and
then see if the School Kitchen Learn
ing has not gotten several steps in ad-
vance of your old, traditional methods.

find it out and give them a neighborly
welcome and offer them some service.
He is on the lookout to give strangers a

ready to watch with a sick neighbor and
look after his affairs for him believe
he and his wife keep house plants in

send little bouquets to friends and in

The Democrats of New Jersey have
redeemed their pledges to the saloon
element in that State and repealed the
temperance legislation enacted by the
Republicans at the last session Of the
Legislature. Had it not been for the
third party prohibitionists, who by
their votes placed the Democrats in
power and turned the State over to
that party, this could not have been
accomplished. The Republicans enact
ed high license and local option law,
and the PrOhibitiOnists, instead of as
sisting them at the next election to
maintain and perpetuate these laws,
placed ticket in the field. The conse-
vence is, that the State is in the hands
of the liquor men.
