Mushrooms Made by Hand.

Aveyron, France, struck by the high

of ~fabricating the delicacy out OF tur-
nips. lie cut the turnips into rounds,
dried them, and. after giving them a

them to unsuspecting customers as the

REVENGE.
He Sought to Make the Chickens Call
Him "Uncle" and Fixed
Them.

The parrots home had been changed
Hardly had it spoken q word, and, when
it did, the words il used were short and
snappish, which plainly showed its an
ger. When fed it would walk to the
furthest corner of the cage and yell:
Get out, you rascal"
One day the new owner, trying to get
on friendly terms with it. went up to
the cage, and, in a smoothing tone,
said:
Does poor Polly want a cracker?"
/ At this the parrot glanced at him as if
saying: WHO are you?" and then
walked to the further side of the cage.
Now. why doesn't poor Polly talk to
me-" he said.
Still the parrot was silent.
Polly" he begged. IF you will just
call me uncle. | will not ask you to say
anything cIse."
Eut nothing he could say had any eff
feet on Polly.
Polly. say, call me uncle, or you Will
be sorry" said the owner, rather an
grily.
The parrot remained as sullen as ever.
In no way could he get it to talk.
We'll. Polly, when | come home to-
night the best thing for you to do is to
house.
That night when he came back Polly
was as silent as ever. There it sat on its
perch. with as naughty Il look rs any
parrot could put on. From its looks it
would never speak again. The owner
thought otherwise. Going to the cage
he said. in n commanding voice: Pol
", you rascal. call me uncle, or I'll fix
voui"
But the parrot still held its peace.
One more chance, Polly; if you don't
call me uncle | will fasten you in the
chicken house tonight" he said, as he
started to pick up the cage.
But the parrot said never a word.
The owner was mad. Taking the cage
in one hand and n lamp in the other he
made his way to the chicken house,
where he dumped Polly on the ground.
Carefully fastening the dOor he wen
back TO the house, ~chuckling to himself
and thinking how glad Polly would be
TO call him uncle in the morning.
When morning came the owner anx-
ious to see how the punishment had
worked on Polly, started to the chicken
house. AS he came lea he heard loud
talking on the inside. 1t was the par
rot.
"Ah. I knew that was the scheme to
make him talk" smiled the owner TO
himself. He quietly opened the door.
Behold, the sight that met his eyes,
Every hen was lying dead on the
ground. the old rooster was backed up
in the corner. and the parrot was walk
ing to and fro in front of him. saying:
Call me uncle, YOU rascal. or III fix
you."-Cincinnati Enquirer.

FRILLS OF z
Pretty Evening Dresses for Young
Ladies' Pnrasnls. Cnpcs, Etc,
for Summer.

The finish of sleeves at the wrists is a
point IN fashion very carefully consid-
cred this season. There are points and
scallops cut on the sleeves and falling
over the hand, and little circular frills
set in. and the facing of these is quite
rs important as the trimming out
side, if not more 50. White satin is the
prevailing facing. and this is covered
with cream lace or black chantillv. or
trimmed with little frills of lace or
chiffon.
Pretty evening dresses for young
girls are made of cream net over taffeta
silk, and trimmed from waist to hem
with frills of white satin ribbon.
! Belts for the neck are not really nov
elites, but they have bl0ssomed out in
new and varied designs for the summer
rirl- The latest Is Il sort of dog collar
in silver or gold arranged in medallions
with chaias between, or made in 4 solid
band set with jewels. These are worm
over a band of coIored ribbon, with a
belt for the waist to match.
y rarasol which matches the color in
your hat is the chic thing 10 have this
season.
A pretty summer cape is made with
two accordion plated rutfles of white
chiffon striped with black satin on the
edge. The plaitings are finished with
a tiny ruche of chiffon. and a ruche of
chiffon with long scarf ends completes
this dainty wrap made on a white tai
feta silk foundation.
The new MORE silks interviewer with
floral designs are as soft and pliable as
oriental satin.
Velvet cord neck chains strung with
coral beads are one of the seasons nov
elites.
y few yards of tulle, more yards of
fine wire and a bunch of flowers form a
good recipe for n fashionable toque.
Simple enough in the abstract, yet no
one but the most artistic milliner can
bring anything like success out of this
combination.
Fancy vests and waistcoats are fea-

EGYPTIAN ELECTRIC FISH.
ria Give Il Considerable
shock.

An Interesting fish that inhabitS thu
wa'ers OF the Nile is the maiapterurus
cIectricJ>. which is considered about
the best species OF electrical fish. for,
unlike the g~yaIrotus and torpedo, its
electric organs do cot affect its motion.
IL 4 paper recently presented to the
Royal institution at London, the theory
is advanced by rrof. Gotsch that the
seat OF the ciCciro-motive force is the
nerve center itself, and not the collec-
ton OF plates which have hitherto been
considered the electric organ Of the
fish. These plates number about 2,GOp.-
Goo, and consist of a modified muscular
substance separated by an albuminous
composition. while each is connected BY
4 single nerve fiber to the nerve center.
y measurement Of the electro-motive
force of the cells 10y = capillary electro
meter rcTeaied the fact that the electro
motive force was of the same order
as that produced by the contraction of
4 muscle. and amounted 20 about .O4
or % volt. Between the e]xcitation of
the nerve and the maximum electro
motive force there is 4 time-lag of about
I-1OC0 Of 4 second, and an oscillatory
eiectrO-TnOtive force i generated by I
single momentary cNciration of the
nerve. At the lecture before the Royal
Institution already referred to the cleo
trio current from two of these live
electric fishes was shown with q tele-
phone, and also shocks given TO many
of the audience. Some of these fishes
were procured by the SerfT expedition
of Columbia university while at the Nile
last summer. and are exhibited in the
museum OF the department of zoology
