send their daughters to Cornell, Univer-

still more nervously with his knife. Tha
waiter seemed TO be on the point of cali

Hope left the waiter again, and he re-
signed himself to his fate. He wiped
away the perspiration and waited for the
customers next assault. The customer
looked out of the window awhile, and
then said:
@Have you any codfish2"
The waiter hesitated to acknowledge
that restaurant so first class as that
served such an ordinary, everyday fish as
cod, fearing its effect on this critical GUS
toner, but he at last acknowledged that
Goldfish was to be had there. The stran-
ger was silent moment, and said:
"There is no better fish swims than the
cod
This was so unexpected by the waiter
that it came near knocking him off his
feet. But the big gleam of hope it re-
yealed sustained him.

customer. "You may fetch me some. Z"

PRICE ONE CENT


We do not share the enthusiasm with
which certain journals decry the Ameri.
can custom Of giving pet names % the
girls. We rather like the custom, and il
il be purely American we shall certainly
like it all the more.
When an American calls Ellen Nellie
he obeys noble, manly instinct; he
loves to regard his mother as "littla
mother, his sister as @httle sister, his
sweetheart as little sweetheart" his
daughter as little daughter, and this
tender and beautiful sentiment he ex.
presses when he employs the diminu.
dves Nellie, Carrie, Susie, Mamie, etc.
A powerful argument in favor of the
custom is the fact that the girls them.
selves approve Ii.
We believe in and we stand for every.
thing that shall show to the world that
our girls, our sweethearts, our wives, aud
our mothers are our pets and are petted.-

Scaling Fish.

Even on the seashore not one person in
thousand knows the easiest way of tax.
ing scales from fish without breaking
the skin. This is perhaps less remark
able because the idea was suggested by a
young farmer. He loved to fish, and,
living on the shore of Lake Champlain,
had plenty of fish. When they were
caught they had to be cleaned. It is no
fun to take the "pin feathers" from a
two pound yellow perch. They are lit
tie worse than any salt water fish have
ever attempted to take out of their
clothes. One day my friend had made a
big haul, and s.s there was large party
TO eat, there had to be good number of
fish picked. The knife did not work
well, the spines stuck in his fingers, and
there were only a few of the big pile
finished. An idea came into his head.
How would currycomb work?
There was new comb in the barn, and
in about two minutes he had it in opera
ton. 1t worked. The scales came off as
easily as the skin from boiled potato.
No basket full Of fish was ever before
cleaned 80 quickly. The currycomb never
went back to the stable. There was bet.
ter use for it among the fishing tackle.
Now everybody in that part of the coun-
try knows how to scale fish in hurry,
and every fisherman has his currycomb
as handy as his fishing pole. The firm
teeth seem to take hold of each individual
scale, leaving the skin uninjured. Not
scale escapes, and the rapidity with which
it can be done is astonishing to one who
has always used knife for that purpose.
Don't forget the cunycomb the next time
fsh have to be cleaned in the house.

Considerable dissatisfaction has been

Several other attaches have agreed to re-
main along with the Superintendent.
The future outlook for crops at the
school are very bright. Nearly every
acre is under cultivation, which, if ne
elected for any length of time, will go to
ruin. Fruit trees have been planted,
windmills, shops, etc, put up, which, in
conjunction with the school and home
industries. furnish work and education
