na,,,.r and n,,ckspake Fight.

Judge j. B. Bowman, who lives
near Tallsboro, gave your CORE
spondent an account of the won
derful snake fight that he recently
witnessed. He was going through a
strip of woodland on his way to his
wheatfield, when his attention was
attracted by a peculiar noise near his
pathway. Looking in the direction
whence the sound proceeded, he OBJ
served a blacksnake and a rattle
Snake twined together in deadly COM
bat. The blacksnake was wound
about its venomous enemy, endeav-
oring to squeeze the life out of him.
The judge became an eager spectator
of the novel combat. Everan anon
the rattlesnake would bite the black
snake. Then a remarkable thing
would occur.
The blacl1snake. as soon as bitten,
would uncoil himself, dart for a small
bush and bite off one of the leaves.
He would moisten it in his mouth,
press ont the juice, apply it to the
bitten place and then return to his
| enemy again. This was repeated sew,
] eral times until finally the black.
snake squeezed the life out of the
RATHER.
judge Bowman says he never kills
blacksnakes. He says 1t is their mis-
sion. and one they greatly enjoy, to
destroy all the venomous serpents
they can find. The judge has a pet
biacksnake that stays III his barn and
keeps away all the rats and mice

Pictures and Their Frames.

Etchings are offered at such reduc-
ton it is suspected that there is truth
III the statement that their popularity
is waning and that the coming black
and white is the mezZotint. Persons
who WI really good etchings need
not, however, prize them the less.
Such have q permanent value. The
silver and bronze beading of frames
has crcpt from the inside ear the
picture to the outside. The framing
of pictures has come to be recognized
as almost as artistic a part as the
picture itself. The best frames for
black and whites L of wood stained
to harmonic with the tones of the
picture. Avoid letting the frames
tell any part of the story. Every
body shuddered over the ''bell'
frames of the Angelus craze, and the
spectacle of horses apparently lean
ing out from a picture to eat actual
corn fitted in a tin trough along the
edge of the frame is not an artistic

Comfort For the Unsuccessful.

If we are money makers, it is to
the exclusion of something else; if we
have gentleness and refinement,
those qualities unfit us for becoming
money makers. The late Daniel
Dougherty met at Narragansett Pier
a very charming young man one
evening, and afterward asked me if
he was poor or if he had inherited a
fortune. Why do you not ask me
if he has made one."I rejoined. BE
cause | know he hasn't" replied Mr..
Dougherty, who, as every n knows,
was a very keen observer of human
nature. He is poor, or, if he is not,
his money was Inherited" insisted
Mr.. Dougherty, and when ] pressed
him for a reason for his assertion he
said. HE is too refined, too cul-
tured, too altogether charming ever
to have made by his own exertions a
fortune or even a competency beyond
a mere living" which was a perfect
diagnosis of the young mans position

Reforming "A Man.

l believe that each one of us is con-
nected with divinity by a spark of
light within. In some it is a mere
speck of light; in othersi it is a steady
flame; in others a burning fire, and
the physical nature is q mere CRATE
which contains this fire. Perhaps the
man within whom the spark is very
small and feeble may conceive a mad
infatuation for some woman who be-
Eeves she can reform him through
this love. But if he is merely infatu-
ated with a woman in whom the di-
vine principle is feeble his reforma-
ton is liable to be on an unstable
foundation.
The man who has felt the divine
within the woman appealing to his
better nature, who has felt the holy
spark within his soul famed into a
larger fame by her influence, who
has felt her spiritual influence above
her physical charms, that man may
be reformed and stay reformed al
though his past may have been worse
than that of the prodigal SON.. And
yet / think that the spiritual nature

The Art OF Garnishing.

The scientific b:anch of cookery
comprises the devising of dishes and
sauces. The artistic branch consti-
tutes the art of garnishing, and this
plays a most important part in the
outcome of the kitchen, as by means
of it dishes please the eye before they
please the palate. First impressions
go a great way, and when nj sense
is captivated by an agreeable and in
viting appearance the dish must be
bad indeed which fails to stand. the
more searching ordeal of taste. Be
sides, people who suffer from jaded
appetites havea better chance of eat
ing their dinner when the dishes
which are put before them r pleas
ant to the sight.
Art, however, is not a thing to be
taught. You may show Il man how
to mix colors, but you cannot teach
him how to use them. 1 will only
explain that what in cookery is
meant by garnishing is not the ira
ditional parsley of the cook. The
one and great thing toavo,' "smuch
as possible is the using for purposes
of garnishing things which are moi
eatable. -Philadelphia Press.

ITALIAN MAcARoNl IN ITALY.

How 1t Is Served There. For 1t May BE
Made In Your own Kitchen.
In one of the largest American cities
there is an Italian restaurant with
real Italian service that has among
its chief patrons many who have lived
half a dozen years i'll Italy, more or
less, and T judges of purely italian
viands. In this particular restau-
rant they find their favorite dishes
cooked and served in the genuine
Italian manner.
There is macarOni, for instance.
Now, macaroni here III Italy and
macaroni in America are two very
different articles. IL was only re-
Gently that l heard a pretty New
York girl say: 1T IS so strange that
at home I can't bear macaroni, and
here l can hardly get enough of it.
Do you know the reasont'
l did, and 1 told her, and I viii tell
you, SO that with your perfect dish
of macar9ni you may put palms OF
great clusters Of small pink roses or
yellow orchids on your table, bottles
here and there and pretty side dishes
filled with pats of unsalted, creamy
butter stamped with flights of doves
and clusters of flowers. or wen the
legendary wolf, and quite imagine
you are again III Italy. Such macaroli
is not made at a tremendous factory,
nor with coarse flour and water, but
in ones own kitchen and thus:
Heap u little more than half a kilo
about 2 pounds-of best -four on
your marble pastry slab or your
hard wood molding board, make a
hole in the center of the flour some
what like the crater of a volcano,
and into this break : or 5 eggs. Stir
these eggs whites and yolks to-
gether) slowly and steadily with the
flour until a perfectly smooth but
very hard mass Is made. Then di-
vide it into perhaps six pieces, pro-
ceeding with one after the other As
follows:
First roll the dough as thin as it
possibly can be rolled, then fold 1t
over and over III folds about 3
inches wide until the piece is entire
" folded. Then cut it through cross
wise in pieces about onc-half or one
third of an inch wide, or they may
be cut in fancy shapes. Shake the
least little dust of -four over it and
then lift the little piles Of strips, let
ting them fall SO they will separate
but not break. Put them N a sieve
or almost anywhere not too near the
stove nor III the sun. to dry thor
oughly, and when they are dried
your macaroni Is done. Il - very
simple, isn't itl
There is a very necessary point in
preparing macaroui dishes-that Is,
that the macaroni must be boiled
just long enough, as it Is ~ easily
spoiled by too much or too little boil
ing as green corn or eggs.
Another thing to he remembered
is that there must pc plenty of water
in the kettle i'll which it boils and
that the water must be all the time
boiling thoroughly, but not too VIC
lently. A little salt Is to be added
to the water too, Capullua-that
very fine macaroni, scarcely the size
of a small steel knitting needle,
made especially for suups-shUuld

utes before it is served on the table.
