To liet Rid OF Flies.

Flies are the pest and worry of all
tidy housekeepers, and how to rid
room of them is an unsolved problem
to many. This is quite easily accom-
plished by taking advantage of the
fies' habit of flying to the window or
place from which light is admitted,
and to accomplish this, darken all the
windows with heavy shade, or any
material, cutting hole in one of the
shades, over which is firmly pinned
sheet of the common transparent fly
paper, and, if possible, have this
located at one of the east, south or
west windows, from which the most
light may be obtained. 1t will be but
short time ere the flies in the room
will be sticking to this paper in their
effort to be near the light. This is
far easier and more cleanly ttan plac.
ing paper about the room for them to
accidently light upon, or killing them
with poisoned liquid or pyrethrum
powder. st. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

WASHING AND CLEANING GLOVES.

WASHING AND CLEANING GLOVES.
The so-called washing gloves are an
excellen, choice for utility purposes
all summer, as they can be cleaned
once and again by washing them in
water that is more than warm, but not
scalding hot, using bit of pure white
soap in the process. 1t is best to wash
them upon the hands, as the chamois
is less likely to shrink in drying. Wash
and then rinse in clear water, and dry
by rubbing with a Turkish or other
soft, rough towel. For kid gloves OF
light color, that are but slightly
soiled, but not stained, there is no
better mode of freshening than to wind
bit of oiled silk around the finger.
rubbing vigorously to remove all
traces of the mar. Any woman who
tests this easy way of cleaning kid
gloves will be sure to keep thereafter
a strip of silk in her possession. A
quarter or even an eighth of yard is
enough to purchase at once, as in
fancy dry goods houses, where it is
sold, it is kept moist in a large roll
and is thus very pliable. Moisten the
silk, however, when using. New York

The horse, which has only one toe
to each foot, is, apparently, descended
from a flve-toed ancestor That an
cestor was the eocene phenacodus a
curious little animal, with the small
est brain ever found in a mammal.
1t had long tail and long hind legs.
1t was probably something between
a sheep and a tapir. The immediate
predecessor OF the horse in evolution
was the protohippus, which had only
two rudimentary side toes in addi-
tion to the hoof.
Among the animals OF the pleisto.
Gene age in South America was a
saber-toothed tiger, one of the most
terrible carnlyorous animals known
to natural history. 1t had curved

projecting eight inches beyond the
gums. 1t lived in an age when huge,
defenseless animals of the horse
type abounded, and they must have
supplied 1t with plenty of food.

RECIPES.

Lobster Cutlets-M pound Of
lobster small (the canned may be
used), season with salt, white pepper,
two ounces of melted butter, two
beaten eggs and enough fine, sifted
breadcrumbs to make it cling togeth,
er. Shape in the form of outlets; dip
in crumbs, then in egg and again in
crumbs, and fry in hot drippings.
These are very palatable with green
peas or tomato sauce.
Chopped Omelet and Egg
your round steak chopped very fine
and freed from skin and sinews; sea-
son with salt, cayenne and minced
parsley and onion Ia teaspoonful of
each of the two latter to a pound of
steak, add the beaten yolk of an egg,
and make into small fat cakes. Fry
in drippings until cooked through and
Drowned on both sides; pour over the
gravy, and crown each with poached
egg.
Potato Omelet-Take pint of cold
mashed potatoes and heat over the
fire with two tablespoonsful of sweet
cream, beating with fork until
smooth and light. Add four beaten
eggs, pepper, salt and little nutmeg,
and press through sieve; beat one
tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan
and cook half of this mixture like an
omelet. 1t is delightful with bacon
or ham cut in thin rashers and fried
crisp.
Spanish Ragout-Fry in butter q
minced Spanish onion or an equal
amount Of white onions; add green
pepper minced fine without the seeds,
and sprinkle these over six large to-
matoes that have been sliced and fried.
Put poached egg for each person on
top aud pour around cream sauce,
made by adding cream or milk thick.
ened with -four to the butter, in the
pan in which the tomatoes were fried.
There is no more delightful hot-weath-
er appetizer than this.
Shrimp Shrimp salad is a
useful and pretty dish. Shell a suffi.
cient quantity of freshly broiled
prawns, taking care to preserve the
coral, which put aside for garnishing
presently. Pile up the prawns in the
centre of dish, pour over them q
thick mayonnaise sauce in which O
sheet of gelatine has been dissolved.
This causes it to adhere better. Round
the base of the pyramid, arrange a
ring of capers, next these ring of
yolk of egg which has been rubbed
through sieve, then a ring OF
chopped white of egg. Garnish with
sprays of chervil and sprinkle the top
of the pyramid with the coral.
Shrimp, lobster or remains of cold
salmon can be utilized in this way.

cal epoch Some of those described
in this work were not monsters, and
some have existed during the time of
mans stay on the earth.
labyrinthOdonts were amphibians
found usually in coal formations, and
had teeth of remarkably compl-
Gated construction. The lowest, but
perhaps the most interesting, of all
the labyrinthodonts is the archTgo-
sauruS, A learned man who came
upon an archpgosaurus said: "Its
head might be that of fish as well
as that of lizard or a batrachian
frog" 1t was finally decided to be a
missing link between the flsh-like
batrachia and the lizards and croco-
dilcs.
i lie arChTgosaurus resembles more
nearly the salamander than any 9th.
er living animal. 1t had permanent
gils and lungs, and stunted limbs
adapted for swimming. 1t was OF
great size.
The anomodonts were animals OF
uncertain family, many Of which had
teeth like the modern carniyora.
The body of an anomodont was liz,
ard-likc and the limbs adapted fof
walking. The teeth were placed in
distinct sockets. The structure OF
the foot was distinctly mammalian
The anomolonts had other mamma
liam characteristics. They are ap-
parently allies to the spiny ant-eater
Of Australia and the duck mole,
which lays eggs like reptile.
The parieasaurus was remarkable
animal OF the anomodont order. 1t
must have been fully nine feet long
when alive. 1t was very wide and
square. The skull looks like that of
a labyrinthodont and has a frog-like
look. Internally it resembles the
present tuatara of New Zealand,
which appears to be survival from
the friaSsic period. In the pelvls and
region of the thighs the pareiasaurus
had mammalian characteristics. 1t
was intermediate between the tailed
amphibians and the mammals.
When the fossil remains of anon.
odonts were first discovered, many
were stones which had assumed ami.
NAL shapes, so difficult was it to be,
lieve that such creatures had ever
lived
At some remote age it Is believed
that the bird was evolved from the
flying reptile. The oldest known bird,
to Mr.. Hutchinson, is the
archTopteryx, which lived in the
secondary or Mesozoic era. 1t had
feathers and claws, as modern birds
have, but also teeth and tail. 1t
is bird, but has some reptillan
features still clinging to 1t. Its YER
tebrT were bi-concave, like those OF
fishes, and some extinct saurians.
Another reptilian feature is the pres.
ence Of sclerotic plates in the eye.
The wings had three free digits OF
fingers, and a finger of greater length
to support the primary features In
Size 1t was as large as a rook.

Sir Thomas Herbert has left this
charming description OF a dodo
which he saw in 1884:
"Her body is round and extreme
fat, her slow pace begets that corpu-
lencie; few of them weigh less than
fifty pound; better to the eye than
the stomach; greasie appetites may
perhaps commend them, but to the
delicate they are offensive and Of no

choly, as sensible OF natures injurie
In framing so great aud massive a

and complemental wings as are
unable to hoise her from the

downish, blackish feathers; the 9th

bends downwards, the thrill or breath

which part TO the end the colour Is a

and strong; her talons or pounces
sharp; her stomach fiery hot, so as

it; In that and shape not little re-
sembling the Africk oestriches,"
A commonly accepted theory of the
dodo's origin is that it was the de-
scendant Of some large ground-feed-
ing pigeon, which had found wings
unnecessary and food plentiful on
these islands.
The last of the great auks was
killed in the Orkney Islands a few
