Writing on Glass.

The easiest way to writc or paint on
glass, says the Philadelphia Record, is
to take solution of fish glue and dis
tribute it with a soft brush over the
surface of the glass. OF course the
solution must be carefully filtered, and
when it is applied to the glass pane the
glass must be held over stove or lamp
in slanting direction to allow the sur
plus solution to flow off and to dry
thoroughly without streaking. When
the pane has been prepared in this way
it is ready to write or paint upon.
Even writing of microscopic minute
ness can be applied to the prepared
glass surface without the danger of the
ink running. On this surface water
colors, India ink and any kind Of pig.

A Country Without Domestic Animals.
Japan is a land without the domes-

strikes the stranger SO forcibly III
looking upon japanese landscapes,
There are no cows-the Japanese
neither drink milk nor eat meat.
There are but few horses, and these
are imported mainly for the use of the
foreigners. The freight cars in the
city streets are pulled and pushed by
coolies, and the pleasure carriages are
drawn by men,. There are few dogs,
and these are neither used as watch
dogs, beasts OF burden, nor in hunt
ing, except by foreigners. There ara
no sheep in Japan, and wool is not
used in clothing, silk and cotton being
the staples. There are no pigs-pork
is an unknown article of diet, and lard
is not used in cooking. Wild animals
there are, however, and, in particular,
bears of an enormous size.-Philadel-

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS


A little lemon peel makes a deli
cious favoring for many things, such
as puddings, fruit sauces, croquettes,
and meat pies, and is one of the things

the peel by rinsing it in clear water
and letting it dry; then grating it, and
putting it in a glass jar with close
cover. Treated thus it is always ready.
