st. Johns, n. f., Feb. 2O.-Nothlng
has been learned respecting the mys-
terry Of the wreck near Bacalieu and
the situation is now more puzzllng
than ever. A large number of persons
believe that the British steamer Lu-
cerne, which was thought to have been
the unfortunate vessel, is adrift at
sea with broken shaft. They think
that the wreckage which has been
picked up may have been washed from
her decks In some Of the recent storms.
She is now 25 days out.

SABLE sheep.

Sable sheep are not frequently seen
in England. but ebony lambs are plen-
tiful in the Australian commonwealth.
A colonial fiockmaster had quite n
number of black lambs. and he folded
them in raj - by themselves. He
found that black lambs might not re-
cur in a flock in generations and then
recur suddenly. For example. where a
black ram was used in a flock of white
ewes the product was white lambs.
with few exceptions, and where sire
end dam were ebony colored the lambs
were mostly white. And so the Aus
tralians gave up the attempt to found
a sable flock. Where wool is dyed a
deep color sa Bile wool absorbs less dye
and makes more durable color. Still
black fleece absorbs more sun rays thar
white. and black sheep are more seri-
ously affected by beat.-London Live

When furs become worn or soiled at
the neck, they may be renovated by
gently rubbing with cotton batting sat
urated with gasoline. which should not
be used in a room that has artificial
heat or light, says The Ladies' Home
Journal. Axle grease. tar, paint and
pitch may be removed by rubbing first
with oil of turpentine and then with
ether. Dark furs may be cleaned with
fine cedar or mahogany sawdust which
has been heated in an oven. Alaska Sa-
BILE, seal. electric SEAL fox. etc, should
be beaten with a switch until free from
dust. then laid with the fur side up
and the hot sawdust rubbed in. Be law
ish with the sawdust and vigorous
with the rubbing. After this place the
garment upon feather pillows with the
furry side down and beat well until all
traces OF the sawduSt have disappear
ed: then hang out in a shady place.
White furs may be cleaned in the same
way, using white cornmeal instead of
the sawdust or, if only slightly sOiled.
by rubbing well with magnesia in
cakes Wet furs should never be dried
near the fire. but shaken and hung
away in a cold room. then brushed.

How the Mi.sletoe Come. to he


The story of how the mistletoe gets
on the trees is a most interesting one.
Covering the mistletoe twigs are pearly
white berries. These come In the win
ter season. when food Is comparatively
scarce. and hence some of our birds
eat them freely. Now. when a robin
eats a cherry he swallows simply the
meat and dips the stone away The
seed of the mistletoe the bird cannot
flip. 1t Is sticky and holds to his bill.
His only resource is to wipe ii off. and
he does so. leaving it sticking to the
branches of the tree on which he is
sitting at the time.
This seed sprouts after a time. and.
not finding earth-which. indeed. its
ancestral habit has made it cease want
ing-it sinks its roots into the bark Of
the tree and hunts there for the pipes
that carry the sap. Now. the sap in
the bark is the very richest In the tree.
far richer than that in the wood. and
the mistletoe gets from its host the
choicest of food. With a strange fore
sight it does not throw its leaves away,
as do most parasites. but keeps them
to use in winter. when the tree is leaf
less. - Professor S. C. Schumacher in
Ladies' Home Journal

How to Remove Ink From SIX.

Ink stains on silk may be removed il
taken when quite fresh and covered
thickly with dry salt. The salt should
be shaken off as soon as it has become
discolored and more applied. The spot
should be dampened slightly before the
salt is applied the second time. and this
process should be repeated until the ink
has all been taken up. Again, ink spots
from silk may be removed by saturat-
ing with spirits of turpentine and let
ting it remain several hours. Finally
rub briskly between the hands, and the
spot will disappear without injury to
either the color or the fabric.

CHEW FOOD THOROUGHLY.
How One May Eat Hot Bread WITH

TO chew IT, New bread and hot rolls are
two delicacies in point Few things
taste better, yet there are thousands OF
persons who will hold up their hands
in horror and declare that they are the
most indigestible of stuff.
Yet there is absolutely no reason why
this should be true. Stale bread. con
trary TO the common belief. is not a bit
more digestible than fresh bread But a
slice of stale bread on being broken
with the teeth resolves itself into more
or less hard and gritty particles which
ii Is almost impossible 10 swallow until
they are softened by the saliva. The
particles irritate the threat and the gull
let until they are well moIstened. The
fact is therefore that man is absolutely
compelled to masticate stale bread be
fore he swallows 1t. This act. of course,
partially digests the bread and thus
makes it in fit state for digestion and
absorption farther on in the alimentary
tract. That is why stale bread appears
to be more digestible than new bread
New bread is soft. doughty or plastic.
and there appears to be no necessity TIC
soften it with saliva. hence it escapes
the preliminary digestive action 1t is
in reality bolted. and boiling accounts
for dyspepsia. Hot rolls can be enjoyed
for breakfast withou. any fear Of dys-
pepsia so long as the bread is good and
SO long as pains are taken to chew IL
