A lightning Change" Artist.

AS lay stretched on the bank at the
foot Of great maple saw O weasel
run along in the brush fence some dis
tance away. A few seconds later he
was standing on the exposed root of
the tree hardly yard from my eyes.
lay motionless and examined the
beautiful creature minutely, till sud-
denly found myself staring at the
smooth greenish-graF root Of the maple
with no weasel in sight. Judging from
my own experience, I should say that
this is the usual termination of any
chance observation of either weasels
or minks.
Occasionally they may be seen 20
log or projecting plank, but much more
frequently they vanish with a sudden
ness that defies the keenest eyesfght.
In all probability this vanishing is
accomplished by extreme repidity Of
motion, but if this is the case then the
creature succeeds in doing something
utterly impossible to any other warm
blooded animal Of It's size. Mice,
squirrels, and some of the smaller birds
are all of them swift enough at times,
but except in the case Of the humming
bird none Of them succeed In accom-
plishing the result achieved by the
E. Cam, in Appleton's
Popular Scientific Monthly.

Cooked Bananas,

Bananas uncooked are eaten freely
and without any apparent harm by
many people, while to others they in
variably produce much intestinal dis
comfort. They are certainly not i'm
proved when frieJl in batter, which
is often greasy OH the outside and un-
cooked inside, but they are delicious
and very VIII ,lesome when baked SIM
ply.
A little salt and lemon juice help to
bring out and improve the natural
flavor, and are often q great aid in the
digestion OF the uncooked fruit. "A
little sugar may be used for those who
think it an improvement. Divide
them once each way and lay them in
baking dish, with sprinkling OF
the seasoning on each layer;then add
water to just show among the slices,
and few bits of butter, which, with
the sugar, helps them to brown bet
ter. One tablespoonful of sagar, one
half tablespoonful of lemon juice, a
few grains of salt and teaspoonflll
Of butter for each henana is n good
proportion. Bake N quick oven
about fifteen minutes.

Signaling for Practice,

The Captain had not been long mar
ried when he was ordered into camp.
The aong-expected call had come at
last. To be sure, the camp was in
plain sight of the Captains residence,
which was some mitigation Of the
hardship, but then it was still separ
alton; and to tighten this terrible con-
dition it was arranged that the be-
reayed husband and wife should sig
nal to each other often with handker-
chiefs. It was on the second day that
the young wife was seated on the
porch reading.
"Tell me, Jane she said, "is Arthur
still signaillng?"
''Yes, ma'am," answered the maid.
.nThen keep waving your handker-
chief. I want to finish this novel;"
At the same moment in camp an Of
icer from an adjoining company
stepped up to the Captain.
"I say, old man." lie asked, "why do
you keep that man out there all day
waving q handkerchief"
"Oh, it's merely bit Of signal code
practice for him." he answered.-Cin-

Do Birds Eat Butterfliesr

Naturalists have as yet been unable
to give decisive answer to the ques-
tion, Do birds eat butterflies or not?
Some unhesitatingly answer it in the
negative, while others as positively
maintain that owing to lack Of suffi-
cient data no one is as yet warranted
in giving 4 decisive answer. In the
last number of the Revue Scientihque
there is an interesting article on the
subject which seems to show that
some birds certainly eat butterflies.
The writer, referring to the recent
journey of NJ. Katharinia through
Central Asiatic Turkey, says: "On one
occasion NJ. Katharinia saw a large
number of butterflies hunted by birds.
In short time many butterflies were
killed. The survivors managed to con-
ceal themselves under some herbage
and the birds did not disturb them any
more. In spite, therefore, Of certain
assertions to the contrary, it can safely
be sta ted that birds do to some extent
prey upon butterflies. At the same
time it is worthy of note that birds do
not pursue butterflies except when the
latter are f1vinC"

Useful Carriage Woods.

Forest asl and whitewood are con.
sidered Indispensable for carriage
building. and what concerns the trade
more than anything else is that the
second growth of these trees never
answers the purpose so we'll as those
first growth trees which mark the pri-
meval forests. The whltewood is used
for the panels of the carriages, and the
wood must be close-grained and very
smooth. A second growth tree usually
produces wood that is coarse grained
and totally unfi. for carriage panels.
The forest ash is light, yet firm, strong
and resilient, but not elastic, and with
n very fine grain and uniform texture
of wood. These qualities, which make
forest ash so desirable for carriage
building, are not so apparent in the
wood taken from second growth trees.
The wood is hard, elastic, heavy and
tough, and. in order to make 1t retain
Its form, it has to be stayed with
metal. For the framework Of heavy
carriages it is totally unfit.-Scientific

quantity required. Strain the stock,
season TO taste with cayenne, anchovy
essence and salt. Thicken the sauce
with a piece of butter rubbed into a
tablespoonful OF -four. When the
sauce is quite thick and smooth stir
into it gill of milk. Bring it to the
boil, remove to the side of the fire,
and stir in carefully the fish. Grease
a pie dish and slit layer of fine
breadcrumbs over it; put the fish into
the dish, and over it thick layer OF
breadcrumbs. Place small pieces of
butter over the top, and bake for q

nsstruction of the Cedar Forests

The cedar forests of the United
States were never so extensive rs those
in South and Central America; but in
recent years the drain upon them has
been so tremendous that they are
rapidly disappearing. The most valu-
able ut one time were those on the
islands and keys Of the Florida coast.
One of the largest lead pencil COM
panies in the world acquired the right
to the best of these cedar islands, and
it has been systematically denuding
the forests ever since. Millions of
lead pencils were annually made out
of the cedar trees that fifty years ago
clothed these keys. Almost the same
is true of other cedar forests il this
country. The mountain slopes of
Tennessee and other southern states
were at one time clothed with vast
stretches of beautiful cedar trees. But
they have been going very fast. In
Tennessee the bucket factories uss.
annually 5000, 900 feet of cedar lup.-
Der; ,OOa, 600 feet go each year to St.
Louis for fence posts, and the tele-
graph and railroad companies use
cedar almost exclusively for their
poles and railroad ties,

Frost Does Strange Work..

The frost played some tricks down
this way that are new even to the old.
est inhabitant. TO begin with. we
never had zero weather here before,
or, at least, no such weather has ever
been recorded. 1t was cold enough
to freeze the palms i'll the hothouses;
it killed the cacti, wilted the rose
bushes, froze all the water pipes, and
knocked the leaves of some of the
evergreens, such as the live oak. The
fall of dead leaves reminds one of au-
tumn in deciduous woods. Another
curiosity is that some forms of deli
cate glassware, having been frozen,
have become exc sssively fragile, break
ing all to pieces, no one touching
them. A housewife, finding her glass
goblets blowing up" in this remark
able fashion, saved'the remnant of her
collection by bringing the glasses to
boil in sate;l water and allowing
them to remain in the water until it
became cold again. Mobile (Ala.)
