fer Dust for Bathing.
The feothered tribes have many Pc
euliar ways and fancies about the do
tails Of their toilets. Some birds use
water only, some water and dust. while
others prefer dust and no water. Birds
are not only exceedingly nice in their
choice Of bath water, but also very
particular about the quality of their
''toilet-dust."
Wild ducks. though feeding by salt
water, prefer to bathc in fresh-water
pools, and will fly long distances inland
to running brooks and ponds, where
they prcen and dress their feathers in
the early hours Of the morning. Spar
rows battle often, both in water and In
dust. They are not as particular about
the quality Of the water as about tho
quality of the dust. They prefer clean
water, but have seen them take dip
in shallow pools that were quite
muddy.

possible, suits him best. have noticed
the city sparrow taking his dust-bath
in the street, and invariably he chooses
. place where the dust is like powder.
Partridges prefer dry loan. They like
to scratch out the soil from under the
grass and fill their feathers with cool
Garth. Most birds are fond Of ashes.

WOMAN AND HOME.
PINEAPPLE RECIPES.

This Delicious Fruit Csa He Prepared =
variety OF Ways.
The most important thing to know
about pineapples Is how to cut them,
and ignorance of the proper manner in
which this should be done is respon-
sible for much Of the distaste awarded
70 this tender and delicious fruit.
The pine should first be peeled, tax
ing care to cut well inside the eyes to
remove the sharp spear which each eye
contains. Then stand the pine on end
and wiring off the crown or top. never
cut it off.
With a sharp knife then cut the pine
IN thin slices from top to bottom and
keep turning the pine around and slice
to the core. Put the slices in q dish
and let stand until ready to serve,
when sugar may be added if desired.
Under no circumstance add the sugar
until the last moment, as it draws out
the Juices Of the fruit and Injuries the
flavor. This is q tender point and one
not generally known, but II you will
follow these directions fully the result
will be a dish incapable of harm to
anyone. both tender and delicious.
Pineapple shortcake Is tempting
dessert and is made as follows:
Take half a cupful of butter. one
cupful Of sugar. half q cupful of milk,
two cupfrls of -four and two teaspoon
fuls of baking powder. Bake in two
layers and spread chopped pineapple
between the layers after the cake is
cold. This recipe is very popular down
where the pines grow. but any recipe
for strawberry shortcake will do as
well by substituting the pine for the
berries.
Another and still more delicious use
for this fruit is known as pineapple
biegnets:
Cut the pine into pieces the size Of a
silver quarter dollar and quarter OF
an inch thick Let these steep for an
hour in brandy, sweetened with pow
dered sugar. then dip in batter and fry
in boiling fat until they are quite
crisp and of a golden yellow color
Take them up in a strainer and put
them in hot baking tin, sprinkle with
confectioner's sugar and set in hot
oven to glaze. When they look bright
and glossy dish on white paper and
serve hot-N. Y. Herald.
