How to Remove Cinders,

When travelling always carry a tiny
hey of faxseed for possible cinders. is
the advice given by Il medical journal.
The instant a foreign substance is felt
in the eye throw back the head and drop
two or three iiaNseeds on the bail of the
eye, and lift the upper lid and draw +
down over them, so rs to hold them in.
There is no disugrceable sensation at
taclied to putting the seed in, and the
relief will come instantly. The mois-
ture of the eye dampens the seed, and it
gives out a mucous substance which
spreads over the eye and covers the
grit. After awhile the seeds will begiu
to work out, and will bring the Offend

EIRDS BUILD HOUSES.
AID Then They Decorate Them In 81
Really A~rti.tic Manner.

There has just been discovered by a
government ornithologisi a tribe of
birds in the island of New Guinea which
show themselves excellent architects
by building each for himself a little
house on the ground.
OF course, the house that the bird
builds is not an ella borate pile ofbrowr-
stone or even bricks. Its made merely
OF twigs and pebbles, kept together by
the Intervening of the tall, dried grass
peculiar to the wild fields of New
Guinea. But ii answers its purpose
just as well in keeping off the rain and
sun, ard no wind can knock down the
house, owing to the ingenious manner
in which the bird selects a site.
The birds have received the temporary
name of garden birds, owing to the
fact that they fence in a little plot
around their houses, for no other APP.
parent reason than to let other birds
know that the inclosed plot is private
property.
When the male garden bird takes a
mate he selects some level spot in the
fields where he finds a tree not more
than two inches in thickness at the
base. With this tree ms a center post
the bird builds his house of twigs,
leaves, pebbles aud grass, and when
finished it is a cunningly wrought man
sion, shaped like a bell, and with two
stories. In the upper story several

with one edge of lace as heretofore, but
with several lace frills placed one above

neither right nor wrong side.
Many samples shown have centers of
borders in contrasting %colors, plaids,
checks. polka dots and pronounced
floral designs. Other handkerchiefs
appear to be thin bits of colored muslin
over which small flowers or leaves are
strewn. To a careless observer they
seem nothing more or less than hem

correspond in color with the toilet,
Travelling handkerchiefs should never
be lace-trimmed.
One of the newest and daintiest hand
kerchiefs to be seen is of sheer white
or light colored linen muslin. with u
triple border of tnely-plaited footing.
The footing, of course, is always white.
There is no hemstitching, the first row
being whipped on a rolled edge, while
the second row is put on, one row on
either side of the handkerchief. Just
above. This handkerchief. though so
simple that it could be easily made at
home, is especially dainty looking. and
adapted to go with the most elegant
toilet. Frills OF lace are put or in a
similar manner, sometimes MS many as
six rows being used to the side. OF
course one great trouble with these
dainty bits of lace-trimmed muslin will
be the difficulty of having them washed,
but the dealers say this objection is
overcome by the narrowness of the lace.
After washing, they need only to be
rubbed over with the iron, and when
taken out for use the lace is pulled out
between the fingers, making the hand
kerchief much fresher in appearance
than it would be were the lace pulled
out on leaving the wash.-N. Y. Sun.

COFFEE DESSERTS.


They Are Not Only Delicious, But Very
Easily Prepared.
Coffee is the most delicious fiavoring
for summer desserts. The essence of
coffee, which is used, is easily pre-
pared, but should always be fresh. The
secret of fiayoring with coffee lies in
having this essence SO fresh and pure
that it has the delicious aroma Of a
cup of good coffee. Take a tablespoon
full of the best coffee, freshly ground,
and put it in a small saucepan with
a cup of cold water. Let the fluid boil
until it is reduced to about two table
~spoonfuls. Strain it through a cloth,
pressing it well; let it cool, and it is
ready for use.
A coffee mousse" is u most delicious
iced dessert, and is prepared without
the trouble in freezing which In ice
cream involves. This mousse is made
as follows: Put two cupfuls of sweet,
rich cream in a bowl. Fill a pan with
chopped ice, place the bowl in the pan,
and begin to beat the cream with a fine
wire whip. Beat slowly at first, then
tester, until it is a fine, firm froth.
When it is all frothed, add two table
sFoonfuls of powdered sugar and three
tablespoonfuls of coffee essence, and
beat them together well. Put the
mousse in a long, slender mold, and
cover it tightly, sealing the edge of
the cover with mutton tallow, and
pack it away in IA pail covered with
cracked ice and rock salt. Three quarts
OF salt are sufficient for u pailful of ice.
lhe mousse should be packed away
Tor about six hours. Ii the mold is
large in diameter, it may be opened
once and the frozen parts removed
from the sides with a knife. II the mold
Is slender, it should be left undisturbed.
coffee mousse makes u most attractive
desert if served with a clear red sherry
Ice heaped around it.
For a coffee custard, boil a quart of
milk and add two tablespoonfuls of
coffee essence. Add five yolks Of eggs
and two tablespoonfuls Of powdered
sugar. Stir the mixture well, and
strain it; pour it into custard cups, and
set them in a pan with boiling water
&c half the height Of the cups. Place
the pan over q slow fire, and let the
water boil gently for 20 minutes. When
the eustards are set, remove them from
the fire and set them in the water.

ticed a throng of men and boys around
a little booth at a street corner and
al, seemed to be watching something
curious and amusing. AS they drew
nearer they saw that the booth was
a news stand--a news stand that ap'
pcared to be tended only by a fine green
parrot.
The green parrot walked about over
the piles of newspapers, calling out:
pepper, sir? Paper? Extra SUM-"
Grandpa jerks and his young people
stopped to look on. Every few mo-
ments some man would come up, take
a paper and toss two cents into a little
box upon which the green parrot kept
an eye all the while. At such time the
bird stopped, nodded his head and said:
"Thankee." Then he began shouting
again; Paper? Extra SUM-"

the stand alone?" cried Harry. Sup
pose somebody should cheat him by
taking more than one newspaper with

mo one better try it," answered
grandpa. Once a boy tried to steal two
kilograms, but the parrot bounced upon
him and gave him such a pecking and
hauling that he was glad to drop them
Eut of course the parrot has a partner,
Don't you see him."
In the rear of the booth there was a
lad Of about Harry's age. lie had MOTH
ing to do, however, bu. watch the papers
and the box, and to come forward and
make change now and then.
Grandpa gave Frolic some pennies
and pointed to the two piles of papers,
to show that he wanted one of each
Frolic knew how to buy things. Be.
side he had been observing the scene
closely. He flew from Harry's shout
der to the stand, and in his blue CLOAK
and cap, and hoped along on one leg
holding the money tightly clasped in
his other claw.
The parrot n~ewsdealer was very
much surprised to see his queer Gus
toner, and was on the point of driving
him off. But when he saw the other
parrot gravely drop the pennies into
the box, just as all his patrons did, he
smoothed down his feathers again and
said ''Thankee," as usual, while Frolic
dragged away a paper from each pile
in his beak.
Harry and Frolic were talking now
with the boy, who told them the birds
name was Ned, and Frolic thought he
would be friendly, too. How do you
do" he called out politely. The other
bird looked him over sharply and then

to watch the droll newsdealer. Ned's

of the boys uniform, he screamed:

here!"
"Oh, pleased" put in FroIic. &

PREJuDlCES OF ANIMALS.
Their Likes ana DIsiikrs Are Very
often UnnccOuntable.

The likes and dislikes Of animals are
un~accountahle. Some horses take a yio-
lent prejudice against certain men, even
though they are treated kindly and
though the mans moral character j.
fair. Between the cat and dog there is
a violent antipathy, which, however, is
not infrequentIy displaced by mutual
respect, and even affection in eNcep-
tional cases. The elephant hates dogs
and rats, Cows dislike dogs, and so do
sheep, for good reasons. But horses
like dogs and, what seems stranger, are
particularly partial to bears. On the
other hand, horses loathe and detest
camels and refuse to be deccntly civil
to them after long acquaintance. They
even hate the place where camels have
been, which seems 10 be carrying race
prejudice to an extreme.
Evolutionists are accustomed to ex-
plain these instructive feelings as sur
viyals of ancestral enmities dating from
the days when one race preyed upon
the other. This would account for the
natural cnmity of COWS to dogs. for
when COWS were wild they were obliged
to defend their calves from bands of
predacious wild dogs. But why should
the horse like dogs? II is but the other
day that the wild horses organized 70
