Deadly Enemy of the Rattlesnake.

The cuckoo has never enjoyed good
standing among birds because Of its
constitutional disinclination to build q
nest of its own. There are, however,
some members of the cuckoo family,
especially those whose home is in south
ern California, who are held In high
esteem. This is because the cuckoo
bird is the deadly enemy of the rattle
snake. Should it chance to discover o
snake asleep in the vicinity of a growth
of the small cactus or prickly pear ii

to build a fence of It about the neon
scious reptile. The bird usually selects
the early morning for its operations. as
the snake sleeps at this hour, especially
along the coast, where he is benumbed
by the chill of night. When the fattle-
snake is literally "corralled" by the
bristling Enclosure the patsano suddenly
arouses him by a sharp stroke of its bill
or it takes n point Of the cactus in its
beak, poises it in the air a few feet
above the sleeping victim and drops j.
full upon him. 10 coil for spring is
the reptiles first movement, and thus
its body is brought into violent contact
with the sharp points of the palisade.
To retreat is the next aim. 1t strives
in vain to find a passage. leased by
the bird, which continues industriously
to drop missiles or to apply at every
opportunity its sharp beak over the in

plunges his fangs into his own flesh and

lie was talking to a young friend in
the elevated train says the n. Y. World,
and this is what he said:
Il could sit ut my window and watch
a thin curl Of smoke above the snss-
curtained window oppl &c. Never had
| seen any person appear near the case
ment, but regularly every morning and
evening, and sometimes late into moon
light nights, could sec the thin curl OF
smoke that bespoke the presence of a
cigarette. Once only l saw u little
white hand as it brushed aside the lace
curtain, but never had I seen the fair
smoker. was ure she was fair, for
SO beautiful q hand could not help be-
longing to a fairer face.
81 began to condone the habit of
smoking in a woman because of this
particular smoker whom l had never
seen. The fact was | had become
fascinated, wildly infatuated-yes, in
love with my hidden neighbor opposite.
My mind had pictured her until the love
of my imagination was a living reality.
l knew her from the toe of her tiny
boot to the crown of her golden head.
Flashes of light CLEANED from her eyes
into mine. Rose bushes waved over
her satiny throat aud check. l could
even feel the gentle touch of her warm
hand in mine. All! you must be the
lover of a dream queen to know. 1
knew. and every moment that l spent in
my room passed at the window looking
for or gazing with longing eyes at that
bit of blue smoke as it CURED above the
curtain opposite.
$50 l waited and learned to smoke
cigarettes as a sort of Earth and Mars
code Of signalling that would tell her l

see and be conquered some more. One
night 1 sat watching the thin ribbon of
smoke as it twirled up from the red
spark that marked the cigarette. While

It was his lips that held the cigarette.

MAxlMs FOR PRESERVING TIME.

Never use poor fruit; "get the best"
All canned fruit should be kept in a
cool, dark place.
first quality products.
Pickles should always be kept in glass
or in hard stoneware; never put them
in tin.
The filling of jars may be greatly ex-
pedited by the use of a grocer's tunnel
aud a small milk dipper.
Watch sweet pickle for q few days
after it is made, and if it shows signs Of
fermentation give it a scalding.
The failure to secure good sauces or
pickles is due to an error in the process;
there is no such thing as 'luck."
Never, under any circumstances, use
shriveled or withered and stale fruit for
any kind Of picking or preserving.
1t is very important in all picking to
use only cider vinegar; the manrSact-
ured kinds often contain very harmful
acids.
Jellies may be easily covered by
pouring melted parafline upon them
when quite cold. This hardens at once
and is air tight. A paper should be put
ONcl w hccp Oil Lllt utSt.
Pickles should be kept well covered
with vinegar, and not be used for a
month after making. They are better
still when a year old.
Dip the jelly bag in boiling water
and wiring it out as dry as possible be-
fore use; this saves loss of fruit juice
from soaking into the cloth.
In all picking aud preserving, use
only granite ware or porcelain-lined
kettles. All metals are liable to be dan
gerously attacked by the acids.
Better buy ones " spices and mix
them; those sold as whole mixed
spices" are not reliable, AS the mixing"
is often very lmperfectly done.
Boiling fruit may be poured into =
glass vessel, without danger of break
age, if the glass be set on a folded cloth
which has been dipped in cold water.
A good wax for sealing may be made
of q pound of resin, two ounces of bees
tallow, melted together and run into
sticks.
Seven pounds of fruit, three and one
half of sugar, and u pint of vinegar is
the standard proportion for all manner
of sweet picking. The splicing may be
varied to suit the taste.
All green fruits which are to be used
for pickles must have a sailing treat
ment Of not less than t%wcnty-four hours;
either in a brine made Of a cupful OF
salt to a gallon of water, or in o salt
pack.
Never think any process "too much
work" Read, analyze and understand
before setting to do the task, and have
all the materials and apparatus onven
iently at hand. Even a complicated
thing becomes simple as soon as it is
thoroughly understood. The end justi.
ies the effort.-Good Konsekeepinq.

self, having indeed nothing of that kind
to lose, she was left in possession Of a
very calm clear mind. Never was any
woman in all the world so tenderly SYM
pathetic as was she to the two ladies who
had been bereft Of nearly all their aids to
beauty. Some women in her place could
not have helped feeling some little salts
faction in the misfortune Of their better
endowed friends (Which Is a crib from
R~ochefoucauld, who has put it in infinite.

no such feeling in her heart. She was
really and genuinely sorry and she ex.

hostess.
