Serving Fish.

Fish is dainty food. Practice Is needed
in serving it. Lightness of touch and
dexterity of management arc necessary to
keep the delicate flakes intact 1t re-
quires some skill to rip the skin and lay it
back, and sever the head and tail with
neatness and dispatch. These three arti-
clos must mover leave the platter They
belong to the cat. The choicest morsel of
any white fish is the cheek. 1t is not good
form to cut through fish. Begin at the
tail and throw aside the skin. Begin at
the hcnd to serve, cutting to the backbone.
When tho meat on that side is helped, turn
the fish and help the other side in tho
same way. If there is roc, part should
BIO served each person. Boiling is the
incest way to cook and the easiest way to
serve fish, Dress tho edge of tho platter
with hard egg and sliced lemon, tomato
and beets.

New Occupation For Women.

A clever young woman in Chicago
has come to the relief Of mothers who
give children's parties, but do not know
what to do with the children after in
viting them. Miss Ashburn plans the
entertainment, games, dances, etc.,
makes out the menu for refreshments
and directs the laying of the table. She
is fine musician and plays for the
dancing herself, but this is not an in
dispensable qualification, for it is al
ways easy to supply the music. How
ever, there are other requisites for sue
cess in the occupation, and first Of all
ia love for children and thorough
understanding of how to give them a
royalty good time.
Miss Ashburn is familiar with all
the old games and in devising interest
ing new ones She enters into the sport
with the liveliest zest, leading in the
play, and is watchful to draw in the
diffident, backward children who other
wise would play the tiresome role of
wall1owers. She is clever and ingen-
ious also in varying her programmes
and providing some novelty for the rap
idly succeeding parties
At a recent one the climax was a
fishing pond. In bay window. screen
ed off from the room, were as many
parcels as there were guests. A little
boy was appointed fisherman and given
q fishing nod, and he drew forth the
packages.
Each parcel contained toy, and after
Miss Ashburn had called the little folks
about her and ikened them to the pi-
geons of Venice, of which she told them,
the fishing began. The fascinating I'M
certainty as to the contents of the pack
ages kept up the interest to the end,
and when the last fish was drawn the
dining room door was opened, and the
little folk went in to enjoy dainty
feast. Boston Woman's Journal.

miasmatic fever = accompanying the
plague. DR.. Kitasato gathered up uuanti-
ties of dust from the floors of the infect
ed houses in Hong Kong and admins
tered that dust to rats and mice. In
nearly every case the result was fatal.
Some of the animals died from tetanus,
others with distinct plague symptoms,
and the same bacllli were found in their
internal organs as in those of the plague
patients who had succumbed.
DIR. Kitasato describes the bacilli as
resem milling in some respects the bacilli
of chicken cholera. They look like rods
with rounded ends, and are readily
stained by the ordinary aniline dyes so
as to be susceptible of careful observation.

seemed to he exempt from the poison,

each presenting symptoms resem bling
those of the human victims of the dis

The preventives which this distinguished
Japanese expert recommends to be en-
ployed against the plague are the ordi-

THE ETIoLoey OF THE:PLAeuE.
Results of the Study and Research o.
Prof. Kitasato of Japan.

Washington, Sept. 49,. One OF the most
curious illustrations of japanese pro-
gress lately noted is the presence in the
weekly abstract of sanitary reports is
sued by the Marine Hospital Service of
an elaborate report relative to the plague
in China by Prof.S. Kitasato, who was
sent to Hong Kong by the Japanese
government to study the etiology of the
plague by modern methods. DR.. Kitasato
with great courage and the most careful
minuteness of research, appears to have
studied the characteristics of the bubonic
plague in the most satisfactory manner.
and he has clearly established by bacter-
biological observations that the disease
owes its origin to bacillus, the presence
of which can be detected in the blood.
in the glandular swellings, and in the
spleen and other internal organs of the
victims. In the course of his researches
he drew blood from the finger tins of
dying victims and examined it under the
microscope. He participated in many
post norton examinations, and made
experiments on animals with cultiva-
tions of the bacilli thus obtained.
One singular result Of his investiga-
ton is an explanation of the hitherto
scarcely credited statement which has
come down to us from the days of Daniel
Defoe and his "diary of the plague of
London" that in visitations of this ne
culiar character mice and rats emerge
from their holes and drop dead, This

Topeka, Kan, Septic. The Hon. F..
d. Coburn, Secretary of the Kansas De-
partment of Agriculture, has issued an
important bulletin, in viii Oh he gives
full Information as to the character and
habits of the Russian thistle brought to
the Dakotas in grain used by Russian
immigrants, and the best modes of
checking its progress in the prairie coun-
try. In it he says:
"In May and June the seeds of the
weed terminate, each sending up on a
slender red stem two narrow, green
similar in appearance to shoots of grass.
Between these seed leaves short stem
soon appears bearing slender, spine
tipped leaves, which later produce
branches in their axis. These young
shoots and leaves are tender and juicy
and are eagerly eaten by sheep, cattle
and horses. Until the dry weather be-
gins the plants grow rather. slowly, but
they store up an abundance Of moisture
in the succulent leaves and branches.
During the dry weather in August the
moisture disappears from the slender
leaves, and they wither and sometimes
fall off.
New shoots are formed, which at first
are short and densely crowded with
spine pointed leaves less than half an
inch long, but later elongate SO that
the leaves become separated at intervals
of one-sixteenth to oDe-half inch. Each
leaf is accompanied by two bracts SINH

projecting at almost right angles to the
stem.f A single, small, stemless flower
grows in a cup shaped depression formed
by the bases of the two bracts.s The
outer parts or pefianth of the flower are
thin and paper like in texture, spread
ing when fully opened about one-fourth
of an inch and are usually bright rose
colored.
Ii the flower is taken out and care.
fully pulled to pieces small pulpy,
green, coiled body, appearing like a
minute green snail shell, will be found.
This is the embryo or miniature plant.
As the seed ripens its coat becomes
OF dull gray color, and at maturity
the whole seed is about one-sixteenth of
an inch in diameter, irregular in form,
and of about one-half the weight Of a
max or clover seed. During August and
early September the plants become rigid
throughout and increase rapidly in size,
often growing two or three Ieet in height
and four to six feet in diameter, forming
dense, bushy mass of spiny branches
BY the middle of September the exposed
parts of the plants have usually changed
in color from dark green to crimson or
rose red.
when the ground is frozen in the
winter the entire plant except the seed
dies. The wind then breaks it off at
the ground, an it is easily rolled about
like tumble weed. 1t then travels
long distance with the wind, scattering
its numerous seeds everYheren

A Strange Tribe of Indians.

The Kickapoos are queer tribe. Theil
manners and customs, their houses AND
home life differ from those of other Indians
in this territory (Oklahoma.) The average
Kiokapoo residence is of one room about
15x20 feet square. The walls are about eight
feet high and the roof is pitched at an an.
gle of 45 degrees. The stickler for fresh all
could not object to the amount of ozone
that gets into the Kickapoo houses. The
walls are made of willow saplings, and OF
course one-half of the space is cracks.
after the heavy corner posts made from
hewn oak trees. are SUNK in the ground
stringers are laid all around and fastened to
the top of the pots with strips of plant
bark. The walls are then made with willow
saplings which are sunk in the ground
and their tops dashed to the stringers. The
ridge pole lies upon two notched trees, and
long. straight s6plings, as large as man S
wrist are laid closely from the ridge to the
stringers. Then big, broad pieces of bark
and river rusbes are laid on the roof and
carefully fastened down with strips of
bark and hide.
In the summer the barks and rushes are
taken from the sides of the building, which
allows the free passage of air. In the
middle of the smooth, hard earthen floor
shallow hole is scooped Tor the fire, over
which hangs rude crane for the SOUP
kettle.
Around three sides of the room is wide
table about four feet from the ground and
fully four feet wide. This is made of small
willow saplings as big round as mans
finger, fastened to stringers which rest
upon notched logs set in the ground. 1t is
