Suuid-Eatiny Extending.

Mr.. Blackford thinks, says bulletin
of the United States Fish Commission,
that the influence of the Ichthyophagous
Club of New York has had much to do
with the introduction OF squid for food,
and says that about three or four years
ago the club first ventured to cook and
serve squid at one of their annual din
ners. It is q well.known fact however,
that squid are highly valued for food
in Oriental countries, and that an i'm
portant fishery for them is carried on in
China. It is also probable that the
Italians, who ore the consumers of this
product in New York, learned to eat
squid in their native country before
emigrating to America. Mr.. Atkin
Hugh of North Truro, Mass, who is
engaged in the trap fishery at that place.
makes the following statement in regard
to the demand for squid: "When ia
New York the three or four years past I
was told that the Italians used squid for
food, but that the quantity was small
and the price low. Very little en-
couragement was given me to ship until
the past season Qoo1). when fish dealer
CUe L ullOu Sai1 " RhCy oOooU
October l: If you can ship me q few
barrels of squid occasionally, I think |
can sell them at low price The squid
season was nearly over then, but in look
ing over my books find that we shipped
to dealers in New York about fifty bar-
rels in 1857, which sold from two to
five cents per pound, netting about So
per barrel" Under date of December
2, 1857, he says: "The squid season is
about over. Some days we have few
bushels in our weirs, but they have be-
come such an article of food among the
Italians of New York that we can tain
better prices by shipping them there than
BY selling them for bait" From the
foregoing it would appear that with the
increase of population in this country
and with better knowledge of the food
value of certain species of marine animals
which have heretofore not come into
general use it is supposable that the
food supply from our ocean fisheries can
be very considerably increased.

A Cultured and Gifted Monarch.

A correspondent writing from Stock
holm gives an interesting description of
King Oscar II. of Sweden and Norway.
Being the third son, says the writer, he
probably never dreamed that he one day
would wear the crown of Sweden and
Norway. In the year 1872, however, he
succeeded his oldest brother, the beloved
Charles Nv. The second brother, Gus
tav, had already been dead for many
years. On his accession to the throne
Oscar was already forty-three years old,
and was not then very popular. The
mother used to say of her two remaining
sons, the polite. considerate Prince and
the rather reckless King Charles: oscar
does everything in his power to gain
popularity: Charles does all he can to
lose it, and neither seems to succeed"
Judging from the interest shown of
late in Oscar H., both at home and
abroad, it would seem that the King had
al last obtained what the Prince SO long
pursued in vain. Now, at the age of
nearly fifty, and after reign of sixteen
wears, he has become rather popular, es-
pecially in Sweden, though less so in
Norway, and is widely praised through
out Europe as an accomplished gentle
man, a cultivated student and an able
orator.
Everybody who has ever heard the
King speak compliments his voice. style
and matter. His ''speech from the
throne" resembles in no respect similar
efforts in other European capitals. When.
arrayed in snow-white eImine, red and
gold mantel over his shoulders, a golden
crown on his head and sceptre, glisten-
ing with Jewels, IN his hand, Oscar ap-
pears before both houses of the Legisla-
ture to deliver his address, his
magnificent voice fills, without an effort,
the large Throne Ha and his hearers
hang delighted upon his words. have
not had the pleasure Of being present
on one of those occasions, but l am
assured that the King is no ordinary
orator.
King Oscar is more than gifted
speaker. He is also poet, as was his
brother who preceded him on the throne.
When, in 1852, he and his Queen cele-
braced their silver wedding, it was re-
marked that His Majesty had also been
faithful to the Muses. for twenty-five
years. For it was in 1857 that the
Swedish Academy awarded its annual
prize for poetry to collection of verse
which, when the sealed envelope con-
tanning the authors name was broken,
was found to have come from royal
pen. Among his poetical productions
are translations OF Goethe's "Tasso"
and Herder's "Cid." The best-known
of all his poems is a collection Of manly
and euphonious songs about the Swedish
navy. They have gone through four
Swedish editions, two German and one
Danish. All the poems of "Oscar
Fredcric'-his name in literature-have
been published in Germany as we'll as In
Sweden. King Oscar is furthermore a
musician. His talents in this depart
ment of art were recently very highly
praised by the renowned German critic,
Hanslick. The rapid growth of the
Swedish Academy of Music is in large
measure due to his activity. when Crown
Prince. He was then President of the
Academy for several years.

Rice Cooked to Perfection.

Rice should be cooked in milk boiler,
then there is no danger of scorching.
There are many methods of cooking this,
and it is often served as a vegetable.
We have found the easiest way the fol-
lowing: Wash one cup of rice and put
on to cook with two cups of cold water
and level teaspoonful of salt. Cover
and keep constantly cooking, and at the
end of one hour it is ready for the table,
every kernel perfect and soft. Do not
stir it; it breaks the kernels. 1t is a
good plain dessert, especially for deli
cate stomachs, with or without sugar
and cream and raisins. .-Neo York Ot-

Monkey Detectors of Spurious Coin

The Siamese ape is said to be in great
request among siamese merchants as a
cash er in their counting houses. Vast
quantities of base coin obtain circulation
in Siam, and the faculty of discrimina-
tion between good money and bad would
appear to be possessed by these gifted
monkeys in such an extraordinary de-
gree of development that no human be-
ing, however carefully trained, can COM
pete with them The cashier ape medi-
tstively puts into his mouth each coin
presented to him in business payments,
and tests it with great deliberation. His
method of testing is regarded in COM
mercial circles as infallible: and, as a
matter of fact. his decision is uniformly
accepted by all arties interested in the
ra.sactlon.

StarchinS Clothes

Prepare the starch for the linen by
allowing one tablespoonful Of good
starch to each shirt, collar and pair of
cuffs to be starched, and dissoiying it in
d little cold water. Add little dis
solved blucing and a small piece Of laun-
dry wax. A favorite substitute for the
wax is made by melting together equal
parts each of spermaceti, white wax
and parartine into cake. and adding a
small piece of this. 1t at once prevents
the polishing-irons from sticking, and
aids in securing polish.
Stir this dissolved starch, and pour
boiling water over it until it is clear but
stiff. Make this starch much thinner by
the addition of water, for starching
dresses, skirts, aprons and laccs.
To starch shirts, collars or cuffs, lay
the piece to be starched on a clean,
smooth board, and rub in all the stiff
starch it will absorb. Rub off super
iuous starch on the right side and hang
up to dry, as free from wrinkles as pos
sible, either in the sun or near hot fire.
