TWO SNAKES.
One of Them Did Not Know as Much as
the Other.

One of Them Did Not Know as Much as
the Other.
/ The drummer had just finished a
rather remarkable snake story as he
sat in the country store after he
had sold bill of goods, and n coun-
tryman, with some young pullets to
sell, had been listening. The drum
ner's story was about a snake of his
acquaintance which had a habit Of
stealing eggs. He would go out and
load up on them. swallowing them
whole, and then climb d tree. fall off
and break the shells and his digestion
would do the rest. The countryman
looked at the drummer with some de-
gree OF doubt when the story was fin
ished, but he never Questioned its YER
aciouSness-
Some snakes Is different to that,

Fish Sandwich.

You may find it hard TO believe that
sandwiches made from boiled fish are
good, but if, when you have bit of
boiled halibut left from dinner, you
make few for luncheon or tea, you
viii find them very good. The fish
should, of course, have the flavor that
comes from boiling it in sailed water,
with a bouquet of vegeta bles, say a
slice of onion, stalk OF celery, or a
sprig of parsley, and half dozen pep
percorns. Break up the fish with a
fork, then take wooden spoon and
rub it as fine as possible. Make it into
a seasoned paste by adding fourth Of
a pint of sweet cream, teaspoonful OF
salt, saltspoonful of white pepper or
paprika, and at the very last and grad
ually, a tablespoonful of lemon juice.
This amount of seasoning is for a pound
and half of fish. Cut your bread very
thin, spread the slices with little but
ter and then with the fish. Lay be-
tween the slices before putting the two
together small tender lettuce leaf

GLASS is NEGLECTED.
Much Labor and Attention Needed

Much Labor and Attention Needed to
Make it Brilliant.
Glass does not often meet with the
delicate attention that it deserves, and
this Notwithstanding that really bril-
liantly FURNISHED glass makes a most
striking show upon any table.
Warm, but not hot, water should be
used for glass. A wooden bowl is safer
than a china one, and should be kept
scrupulously clean with rinsings Of
soda and hot water. Every cloth
wherewith to rub the glass must be as
soft as soft can be-and as dry. Unless
the polishing cloth be really dry the
glass does not take any brilliancy, rub
as you may.
Ammonia, rock salt and tea leaves
put into decanter with some warm
water, and vigorously shaken up and
down. are effective in dispelling the OF
tending stains. If the shaking does
not prove sufficient the decanters or
bottles should be left to stand all night,
filed with water and ammonia.

Gas globes require an especially dras-
tic treatment, and are only cured
sometiues-of an obstinate dimness by
being placed in a saucepan near, not
on the FIRE, with a liberal supply of
patent soap powder or soda thrown
into the hot water.
Servants who put their glass on the
table at the last moment are wise If
they wear soft wash-leather gloves

THE CARE OF THE HAIR.
Only Good Animal Oils should Be Used
Astringent Washes Are Dangerous.


Do not use mineral oil products for
the hair. Only good animal oils will
improve the quality and supply the nu-
triment needed TO quicken hair growth.
The reason for this is obvious, since
the natural oil of the scalp is of the
animal nature.
All astringent washes are perma-
nently injurious to the hair, as they
penetrate the hair cells and dry
the natural oil. whitening the
roots. OF these alcohol, borax and
strong soaps are those most used, to-
gether with patented lotions, and,
therefore, it is against such articles
generally that our readers need most
TO be warned.
There are times when mild stimula-
ton of the scalp with medicated fluid
will prove beneficial, but one should
not use those articles put upon the
market under high-sOunding names
claiming to do all and cure all. When
a tonic for the hair is needed TO over
come some existing condition of dis
ease always seek the advice of a first
class dermatologist Of repute.
For daily care of the hair for health
the brush must be used to clean and
smooth the hair strands. but not to
irritate the scalp. A harsh brush is
Objectionable from every point of view
Select one having medium bristles, and
these of irregular length. Do not slap
the brush down upon the head, and be
sure to keep the hair brush always
clean and free from collections of
fluffy film and dust at the setting of
the bristles, thus preventing it from
becoming breeding place for diseas-,
