chenp Aaunriu1n stock.

Some of the rarer Japanese goldfish cost many dollars each, but some small goldfish can be bought for five cents each. This is the lowest price for a goldfish, but there are other small fishes for aquarium uses that can be bought cheaper still. Little catfish, an inch or two in length, can be bought three for five cents. Tiny rockfsh, which are hardy and long-liyed in eap- tivity, can be bought for the same price, and so can little siIyerfsh. Three little lizards can be bought for five cents.
 This small and cheap aquarium stock is bought both for home aquariums and to give life and variety to larger aquar- iums.

Pelican versns nnn..

Tn Kew Gardens, in London, in the presence of a considerable number of spectators, an affair of honor was set tied between a pelican and duck.
 The birds had had words together, so to speak, and the pelican determined that the next best thing to making the duck eat his words was to eat the duck. So, after a little thrust and parry on the water, he made for the smaller bird, and snapped it into his pouch.
 Then a battle royal began inside the pouch of the pelican. The duck strug- gled, kicked, quacked and occasionally managed to get leg or a wing outside, while his captor threw his beak high in the air, then dipped 1t into the water, and kept it there, as if trying to suffo- cate or drown it's enemy.
 At last the duck got his head and one wing out, and .nen with a magnificent effort, managed to get entirely free. Once again on the water the duck de- clined further combat and fled, while the pelican remained, looking as if hon. or were thoroughly satisfied.

so the Honsekeeper says.

That parsley eaten with vinegar will remove the unpleasant effects of eat ing onions.
 That beeswax rubbed on rusty fiat irons will make them smooth and clean.
 That chalk of magnesia rubbed on silk ribbons that are spoiled with grease spots and held near the fire will restore them to their freshness.
 That paste for hanging paper should be made thin and smooth; the addi- tion of a little glue will improve it, and a little powdered alum will help it to dry.
 That an excellent paste for all house. hold purposes may be made of tea spoonful of flour gradually mixed with half a pint of water, small pinch each of powdered alum, and rosin and boiled five minutes; the addition of a little brown sugar and few grains of corrosive sublimate will preserve it indefinitely.

Hints for Housewives.

Never boil anything that can be cooked by steaming.
 Never wash poultry or meat. Wipe them clean with damp towel.
 To remove all the grease from the top of soup after having skinned it with a skinner lay piece of porous brown paper on top. It will absorb every particle of grease.
 Boiling is the most abused branch of cookery; the average cook boils things that should be prepared other wise, just through laziness. It is too much trouble to learn how to cook any other way. Never boil anything fast, and use as little water as possible.
 Feather dusters are only for orna- ment. Never use them. Use soft, old cloths for dusters, and begin at the top of the piece of furniture and dust down. If the furniture will permit use a cloth slightly damp. A cloth with a little kerosene oil on it is good for all wood furniture.

Small Boy Evolves Plot Worthy of 8
 Statesman.
 A little boy dropped his drumstick into a well. Tn vain he entreated his parents, the gardener, the footman, the coachman, the cook, the housemaid to go down into the we'll to recover his drumstick. In his distress a brilliant expedient occurred to Master Tommy he secretly carried off all the plate from the sideboard, and threw it into the well.
 Great was the consternation when the plate was missed, and an active search for the robbers took place In the midst of the alarm and the confu- sion Master Tommy ran with the news that he had found the plate. "Where?" was the cry. Down the we'll" replied Tommy. T saw it quite plain shining at the bottom-spoons, ladies, bread baskets, salyers. and all"
 The housemaid hurried to the well, at the bottom of which, sure enough, the plate was seen. A ladder was pro- cured, servant descended and the plate was brought up. Just before the last article was fshed up Master Tom my whispered to him: John, please bring up my drumstick when you go down for the soup ladle"

All poisonous serpents have movable sangs, which are found in the upper Jaw, and when not in use close up like the blade of a penknife.

Cattlemen Grow Anxious.

Considerable ,alaram was felt by
the big cattlemen of the Indian
Territory yesterday, when word
was received from Washington
stating that the Secretary of the
Interior had ordered that no more
cattle be shipped into the interior
and placed on large pastures. This
order, if strictly enforced, will
work great hardship and drive
from the territory some of the
largest cattle dealers of the south
west. Already thousands of acres
of land had been leased by cattle
men for the coming year, and one
man alone in the Greek Nation has
paid out $25, 900 for this purpose

DANCERS of the Grip.

The greatest danger from la grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however,
and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy for la grippe
we have yet to learn of a single case
having resulted in pneumonia, which
shows conclusivelv that this remedy
is a certain preventive of that dan
gerous disease. 1t will cure la grippe

THE SPECIAL POLICEMEN.
They May nc Made nm Auxiliary to
the Metropolitan Force.

tnc metropolitan
Now that Major Sylvester has inaugu-
rated several important reforms and
changes in the Police Department and
brought the force up to high state of
discipline, several business men are con-
templating making n request to the chef
that he give some attention to the nun
dreds of special policemen in this city.
They say this extra force should form an
available auxiliary to the Metropolitans
for the protection alike OF life and prop
erty.
The most important reform mentioned by
the business men is that the special police
men should be confined to the beats for
which they were commissioned That
they should be under the direct surveil-
lance of the sergeants on their rounds and
that the sergeants should see to II that
they patrol. apd patrol properly, only the
beats they are assigned to on the face Of
their commissions.
II Is pointed out that certain specials
leave their territory and engage to guard
property away from their given limits,
thus depriving their patrons of the pro-
lection they pay for by leaving their estab-
business houses on adjacent beats
1t is believed that Major Sylvester will
regulate this and other matters connected
with the special police force, which is
directly under his command, and that
those of the specials who do not properly
patrol their own beats, or noodle, will
forfeit their commissions.
These specials do not receive a salary,
but are paid varying amounts weekly by
the merchants and others whose places
they watch.
