The Japanese have likewise on exhibition
specimens OF their wild birds, both useful
and injurious. and Of their forage plants.
They have published descriptive catalogues

divided into three classes: The beneficial
birds Of forest and farm, twenty-one varie-
ties the birds used for food, thirty-fiye vari-
eties, and the birds for miscellaneous uses,
fourteen varieties. These are numbered
consecutively. and are carefully described rs
to location, characteristics and utility. The
forage plants, similarly numbered, are
minuteIy described with reference to dura-
ton Of growth, height, Towering, seed
ripening and cutting times, produce to the
ac-, composition and locality.
Last, but not least interesting, arc hvo
pictures which hang in the southwest corner
of the Japanese pavilion, and represent
methods Of hunting. One shows the way OF
catching small birds by hanging cages OF de-
coy birds near bird lined twlgs. Another
represents sportsmen, in the early morning
or evening twilight, when the wild ducks
are flying low, catching them in nets at tne
end oil long bamboo poles. The two pictures
at the extremes portray the two allied
methods OF catching wild duck on Lake
Tega in Chiba prefecture. One is by means
of bird-limed ropes stretched over the sur
face Of the water the other is by number
of large spread-nets toward which the ducks
are driven by hunters. The remaining
picture illustrates Japanese hawking, which
was q very popular sport In former times.

been displaced from its socket by the ex-
plosion OF an incandescent globe in the vault
and had fallen into the tin box. Two Gov

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
TIE WAY TO FRY.

The ordinary process of frying is
rarely understood. Food is made
greasy and often indigestible because
the fat is not as hot as it should be
and the pan not deep enough. The tar
must be smoking hot-about 4oo az :.
grees Fahrenheit. Experience will
soon teach q cook that the required
temperature is reached when bit OF
bread browns in few seconds II
placed in the kettle. A thin coating
is thus made on oysters, croquettes, or.
whatever is being fried, and all the
juices and davors are kept within, the
fat outside not being able to penetrate
it.-St. Louis Star-Ssyings.
