FORETOLD A STORM.
Feathered BarOmeters Give Warming
to Ships Crew of an Impend-
ing Hurricane.

While British brig was gliding
smoothly along before good breeze in
the South Pacific flock of small birds
about the size, shape and color of paro-
quets settled down in the rigging and
passed an hour or more of resting. The
second mate was so anxious to find out
the species to which the visiting
strangers belonged that he tried to en-
trap a specimen, but the birds were too
shy to be thus caught and too spry to
be seized by the quick hands of the sail
ors. At the end of an hour the birds
took the briggs course, and disappeared,
but before nightfall they came back and
passed the night on the main-top.
The next morning the birds flew off
again and when they returned at noon
the sailors scattered some food about
the decks. By this time the birds had
become SO tame that they hoped about
the decks, picking up the crumbs. That
afternoon an astonishing thing hap
pened. The flock came flying swiftly
toward the brig. Every bird seemed to
be piping as if pursued by some little
invisible enemy on wings, and they at
once huddled down behind the deck
house. The superstitious sailors at
once called the captain of the brig, who
rubbed his eyes and looked at the barom-
eter. A glance showed that something
was wrong with the elements, and the
brig was put in shape to outride storm
The storm came 20 minutes after the
birds had reached the vessel For a
short time the sky was like the water
less bottom of a 1ake-a vast arch OF
yellowish midland torrents of rain
fell. Why it did not blow very hard nc
one knows, but on reaching port two
days later the captain learned that a
great tornado had swept across that
part of the sea. The birds left the YES
sci on the morning after the storm and
were not seen again.

L wonder how many girls know how

OF course, in the winter the fine ladies

BullfiEhters In Spain.

A Madrid paper has interviewed a
toreador, or bull fighter, and >shows
what an important parsonage he is.
During the past year he took part in
IS fights and killed 1873 bulls. His net
profit was 100000. and the only injuries
he received were bruise on the foot
and rather bad wound in the leg.
These toreadors are generally from the
lower classes and uneducated, but all
Spaniards are picturesque and take
readily to wearing fine clothes and
posing as cavaliers. The risks they
take are great, but the rewards are
tremendous. They are courted by all
classes, they live like princes, and such
is their popularity that the newspapers
are careful to give them nothing but
praise, for fear of mourning the en-
nifty of the people, who fairly idolize
these butchers.

A PAIR OF COCOTTES.

Toss the chicken and vegetables in it,
add a little more broth, and let them
cook about Is minutes longer. BY this
time the vegetables and the chicken, if
the latter is tender, will be well done
and the whole a rich brown stew. Take
up the chicken in q mound on 4 platter
dish, the vegetables around it, and
strain the gravy over the vegetables.
If you wish, the cocotte with its con-
tents may be placed on a plate or not
and served on the table. This is the way
the French peasant serves the dish, and
the fashion is initiated on some of the
most elegant hotel tables in this eoun-
try. Red earthenware dishes, i'm
ported for the purpose, are used. The
stew may be enjoyed if it is prepared
in any ordinary covered pot of thick
earthenware- 1t would probably be
necessary TO allow little longer time
for cooking. as the shallow eocotte
cooks almost as rapidly as spider.-N.

CHICKEN IN COCOTTES.
French Fashion That Is Now Being
Initiated by American Hotel
Men and Caterers.

The picturesque little dishes here il
Illustrated are French stewpans of red
earthenware, in which are cooked in
broth chicken as well as young lamb,
game and other tender cuts of meat.
The stewpans are of about the same
material as Boston bean pots, and. like
the bean pot, ii is considered quite the
correct thing to serve them with their
contents on the table. The New Eng
land housewife, we are aware, does not
expect to display bean pot any more
than any other kitchen stew pan or pot,
but 1T is not an uncommon thing on the
more elegant tables outside of New
England to see it so displayed in order
to validate the claim that it's contents
are genuine Boston baked BEANS"
The French cOcotte comes in various
sizes. 1t is broad and shallow, so it's
contents are easily cooked. Cut the
chicken, to cook it in this way, in small
pieces, as you do for fricassee. Sea-
son it well and add a dozen small but
ton onions and some potatoes cut in
tiny ball form. Cover the chickenwith
half a cup OF white broth or veal stock
and put the cover on the dish. Set the
dish on hot range, and let the chicken
and vegetables slowly cook for half an
hour. AT the end of this time the veg
etables will be nearly done and the
broth considerably reduced and brown.

DAINTY DRESS CLOSETS.
Perfumed Pads on Ceilings and
Walls Is the Latest kink OF
Fashionable wOmaHhOOd.

Perfumed pads for trunk trays and
compartments of the dresser have
proved so satisfactory in imparting
that delicate scent which women love
that one woman has carried out the
scheme still further. She had been in
the habit of hanging sachets of her
fayorite powder in her clothes closet,
but it did not seem to be as satisfac-
tory as the pads in the bureau. She
experimental by hanging sheets
around the wall and using a liquid
scent, but that evaporated: Finally
she took out the pads from her trunk
and hung them on the hooks in the
dress closet. Then she thought: why
not pad the ctoset?"
No sooner thought of than done.
Her best dress closet is now uphol-
stored over all the walls and ceiling.
She did it herself. The backing of the
pads is cheesecloth. Then there is
thick layer of cotton batting thickly
strewn with her favorite violet sachet
powder, and covering the whole is a
delicate shade of violet China silk. Be
fore fastening this lining to the walls
of the closet it was tied in comfort"
style with dainty baby ribbon, tied in
10" kHOtS.
The pads are bound all around the
edge with violet satin ribbon, having
loops at the upper edge to hang the
pads to the wardrobe hooks. These
bindings are not tsewed to stay" At the
top. but may be easily ripped loose in
order to renew the powder at any time.
Pads on the ceiling and above the
hooks are fastened with brass-heade,i
tacks hidden under the ribbon bows.
This luxurious closet may he imi-
tated in cheaper upholstery and be
quite as dainty. Silkolines, which come
in such delicate hues and patterns
with sprays of the most delicate flow
ers- can be used. These sheer and in
expensive materials are to be had with
white or shaded ground. and the
sprays of flowers may match the odor

VERY FOND OF EGGS.
Little African Reptiles That Are Pos
sessed of Truly Remarkable
Swallowing Ability.

Among a lot of very interesting
specimens of prepared animals sent to
the Museum of Natural History at Paris
by Father Guilleme, missionary in the
Upper Congo country, there is no
group of native adders in the act of
swallowing eggs which excited uncom-
mon interest. The most remarkable
part is the relative size of this snake
and its common food. The adder is
rather small, it is seldom longer than
as inches, and its thickness never ex-
ceetls half an inch. Yet it feeds regular
" on duck eggs, the smaller diameter
of which is almost two inches.
How this snake can get such an egg
into it's mouth is difficult to understand.
and the aspect of these reptiles while
swallowing the eggs is most strange.
The only way to account for this pc
,uliar manner of swallowing whole eggs
is the presence in the neck, just back
of the head, of a series of pointed bones
pointing backward and piercing the
sosophagus. These not only assist to
nol6 the egg in place, but act like saw
When the egg has advanced far enough
their pressure will cut the egg; its con-
cents continue into the stomach. while
she empty shell is crushed afterward
sad thrown out through the mouth.
While in the act of swallowing the
.gg the snake is easily caught, for it is
hen almost in a state of complete iner-
ia; it then looks very much like the
,ulb used by photographers for open
ng their shutters.-Philadelp Rec
