NICE NAY TO cook A suAD.

A very nice way to cook a shad Is to
bake it. Prepare 1t rs for broiling.
Chop a couple of shallots or two small
onions, and put them over the fish,
which should be well buttered. Place
it in the bottom of dripping pan in a
moderately hot oven. Let il cook till it
is thoroughly done, which will take
about halt an hour. Ir should be COW
cred with buttered paper if it shows any
tendency to brown too much. Make a
vert pre- sauce to serve with it as follows:
Melt a tablespoonful of butter in a sauce
pan and stir in a tablespoonful and a
half of flour. Stir this well, but do not
let it brown. Then add slowly q cup OF
rich white stock. Break the yolks OF
two eggs in a bowl and pour the boiling
hot stock over them, beating all the
time. Strain the sauce through a
"Scotch cap" or pointed French strain
er. Add a tablespoonful of lemon juice,
a te~aspoonful of butter and a saltspoon-
full of spinach green. Set the sauce 10 a
basin OF hot water and stir it for about
three minutes. Then add a tcaspoonful
OF minced chervil. Pour half the saucs
over the shad and serve the rest in a
sauceboat. York Tribune.

Stars and Storms.

Much of the beauty Of the stars de
ponds upon theif scintillation. The
multitudinous flashing of their tiny
rays gives a wonderful life and
brilliancy to a winters night. The
great star Sirius eXcltes the most
admiration when, near the horizon,
he coruscates with rainbow hucs.
But the astronomer would be glad II
he could put q stop to the scintillat-
ing of the stars. That unsteadiness
of their light is one of the chief OBJ
stacles he has to overcome in study
ing them with the telescope.
Scintillation has generally been re-
garded as due only to slight disturb
ances in the atmosphere. But as re-
cent observations have shown that
red stars sc.ntiilate less than white
ones, it has been suggested that the
causes OF some Of tn essential differ
euces ia the scinti.latiun5 OF di1er-
ent stars may be in the stars them
selves There is no doubt however,
that the main cause oil scintlliation
depends upon the conl tiOn Of the
air.
Most people suppo Q that when the
stars appear to lose their liyeliness OF
light and shine Notwithstanding as
nj mute bright points in the SKY far
weather is in prospect. Studies
lately made in France and Swift err
land seems to contradict this popular
belief. 1t has been lo"nd there that
when the stars are feeble in their
scintillatlons foul weather Is at hand.
The nj hit before a most violent storm
in France, for instance, the stars hung
SO quietly in the sky that they seemed
to have entirely loss the r scintillat-
ing power.
This is said to be only one instance,

Assist nature O little now and then with a
gentle laxative, or, if need be, with a more
searching and cleansing cathartic, thereby
removing offending matter from the stom-
ach and bowels, and toning up and invigo-
rating the liver and quickening its tardy
action, and you thereby remove the cause
of a multitude of distressing diseases, such
as headaches, indigestion, b~iliousness, skin
diseases, boils, ~carbuncles, piles, fevers and
maludies too numerous to mention.
If people would pay more attention to
properly regulating the action OF their bow
oils, they would nave less frequent occasion

was put up by Langley Bradley in 1908,
is in splendid condition, and might ta
all appearance go on for another tive
centuries without failing to boar accurate
record of the passing time. It Is a grand
old clock, remarkable for the magnitude
of its wheels and the fneness Of Its
works. 1t cost 1900 to build. Its two
dial plates are tifty.one feet in circum-
ference and the numerals two feet n
inches in height. The minute hands arc
nine feet eight inches long and weigh
seventy.ive pounds each, and the hour
hands are five feet nine inches long and
weigh forty-four pounds each. The
pendulum is sixteen feet long. 1t is an
