EATING FISH.

1t is not good form to ask for Sec
Ond helping of fish.
1t is considered extremely bad form
to use Il knife in dissecting fish.
\ little modern fish knife. with an in
gcnious fork arrangement on one side,
is now made.
A bit of lemon is served with broiled
and baked fish, and it is in correct form
to use the fingers in expressing the
juice.
Potatoes are considered Il proper ac-
cessOry to the fish course.
Sliced cucumbers. with plain French
dressing. are also served.
With boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled. cut into bits or
scooped out and garnished With little
melted butter ana chopped parsley.
Never use the fingers to separate the
bones from the eatable portion of fish
The bones must be evaded With such
ueXterity as one can command without
other aid than such as bit of bread
held in the left hand may furnish.

A VERY CURIOUS BIRD.
The One Young Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the Scientists.


Mark Twain's father was IN ornithol-
Ogist. lie had several friends who
Were also enthusiasts on the subject Of
birds. Whenever any one of them dis
covered rara avis it was the custom
to have consultation. Mark had been
witness of several of these bird in
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took III discussing a new
found specimen. One day it occurred
to him to provide the Hannibal orni-
biologists with Il real circus in the
form of a bird. He killed crow and
also barnyarNl rooster. Plucking out
the tail feathers of both the crow and
the rooster, lie substituted the ROSTERS
tail feathers for those of the crow, pro-
ducng unique effect. When lie had
the specimen nicely prepared, he went
to his father and, handing it to him,
said:
Here, father, is a very curious bird
shot. ! thought you would be inter-
ested in it,
The old gentleman gaZeI upon the
specimen with establishment That
evening the ornithOlOgists Of Hannibal
We're assembled in Mr.. Clemens par
lor. The rare specimen was put before
them. The discussion was long and
learned. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was an
offshoOt of the bird Of paradise fam
lily; others had equally ridiculous no.
tons as to its ancestry. But there was
one who refused to he Swervcu by the
popularity of the birds tail from the
Judgment that it was of the crow fam
lily. .
''Why, just look here" he said lift
ing the bird By its tail feathers. He
got no further. The feathers came
out. There WAS L quick closing of Il
door. Mr.. Clemens started to leave
the room.
''Gentlemen." l.e said. ''please excuse
me few moments. ! will see Samuel
first and explain later"

When Herrlngx Were Plenty.

In former days behring's were so
abundant in Newfoundland waters that
the most wantOn slaughter of them
was permitted without any restriction
whatever. SeinpS We're allowed to re-
tain LOCO or 1000 barrels Of the fish
until they persisted. and then thu. net
was freed, and the whole contents fell
to the bottom TO pOllute the ocean for
miles around. When Il p1ach:ng smack
was captured. the behring's il had on

SIGNALLING 70 MARS.
The Difficulty of Doing 50 by Means
OF Light.

The Dimculty of Doing 80 by Means
Of Light,
The very largest city that this earth
has ever known would be altogether
too small to be visible to being
dwelling on the planet Mars, even il
that being we're endeavoring to see it
with telescope as powerful as the
greatest and most perfect instrument
III any observatory on this globe.
1t the whole extent of Lake Superior
was covered with petroleum and if that
petroleum was set on fire, then. think.
we may admit that an inhabitant Of
Mars who was furnished with Il tele-
scope as good as that which Percival
Lowell uses at Flagstaff might be able
to see that something had happened.
But we must not suppose that the
mighty conflagratiOn would appear to
the Marian as very conspicuous OBJ
ject. 1t would, rather, be very small
feature, but still think it would not
be beyond the reach Of practiced OBJ
server in that planet.
On the other hand, if an area the size
OF Lake Superior on Mars was to- be
Hooded with petroleum and that pctro.
lcum was to be kindled, we shouA cx-
pect to witness the event from here not
as great and striking conflagration,
but as tiny little point of just dis.
ccrnible light. The disk of Mars is
not large object. and the contlagra
ton would not extend over the three
hundredth part of that disk.
1t is sufficient to state these facts to
show that tho possibility of signaling
to Mars is entirely beyond the power of
human resonrces.-Sir Robert s. Ball

that the average maiden is too much

 New York opened with May at S24 or points better than last nights closing. sold as high as BPS and as low as SIG during the day. July opened at BPS or points better than last nights close, sold up to :, !. evhieA wa& the best of the day, selling down from this high level to S20 which was the low and at which level it closed. Spots were unchanged with sales Of 397 bales for consumption with Mid ding at 8 7-16 cents.
 New Orleans cotton market opened with May at S20, or 6 points better than last nights closing figures, sold as high as 821 and as low as sos dur ing the session, closing at the bottom of the day Receipts at the ports were again running high and estimates for tomorrow for New Orleans and Houston were far in excess of those of the corresponding day of year ago New Orleans expecting 6,000 to 1000, and Houston expecting 1000 to 2.500 bales, against combined of only 3.235 bales. Spots were steady at un- changed prices with sales of $500 bales, at s 3-16 cents. Other South ern spot markets were steady at un- changed prices with light business being reported. Weather conditions generally throuhout the South today were more encouraging, the tempera ture rising in most sections. The flu ture of the cotton market will depend upon weather conditions from now on and while we do not expect higher prices immediately, any unfaTorable weather conditions will more than likely have an upward tendency in the value of prices. The markets closed at the bottom of the day but steady.

LETTER TO w. C. NORThROP.
NEWTOWN.

NEWTOWN.
 Dear Sir: Perhaps you "won't ha ve anything to do with Mixed Paints. , We don't blame you; but DevOe leaC and zinc is not a Mixed Paint; there is twice as much paint in gallon of it as there is in gallon of some of the Mix. ed Paints. N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y., owns ? houses exactly alike-Painted one with Mixed Paint-tOok 12 gallons. Painted the other with Devoe; bought 12 gallons six gallons left.
 It has taken great many years to find out the best; and it takes lot of machinery to grind it properly.
 More than 1000 years, men painted with lead, and more than POO with lin seed oil. About 50 years ago they be- gan to use zinc.
 All painters know lead and oil; most painters know lead and oil with zinc mixed init improves their paint: wears longer: does not chalk or powder off so soon. One-third more zinc than lead is used in this country.
 But painters don't know how much zinc to put in; and zinc is hard to mix needs grinding in-and they can't grind it in.
 Still, nobody uses lead without zinc, who knows his business.
 Yours truly,
 GA F. w. Devoe & Go.
