Queer Home of q Cat.

a cat that lives in the trunk of a
tree in st. Pauls churchyard illus
trates one of the oddities of animal ex-
istence in a great city. The tree that
affords a habitation for this particular
grimalkin stands on the Vesey street
side of the ehurchyard, and the cat,
smuggling comfortably in the hole in
the trunk, looks out upon the passers-
by without fear of molestation.
Beiated toilers in the neighborhood
have seen the cat prowling around
among the grave stones at night, or
foraging in garbage barrels not far
away. But in the daytime puss abides
quietly at home, usually sleeping the
hours away.
An apple core or two and an orange
peel sometimes lie near the tree, as
evidence that some mischievous mes
sepger boy could not forego a passing
shot.-New York Mail and Express.

Snakes in the Philippines.

First Sergeant Ducklett, of Company

face to face with a boa Constructor

A musician and his wife were on
their way home from a concert, and
were overheard discussing the merits
of the entertainment
''It set my teeth on edge" the hus-
band said, ito hear the orchestra play
ing Yankee Doodle and Dixie at the
same time. The idea is all right, of
course, and even commendable from a
sentimental point of view, but the two
pieces, when played together, are full
of discords."
But didn't you notice." said his
wife, who is something of musician
herself, 'that where certain notes or
passages would have been discordant
they We're omitted from one air to an
other, and left to the drums?"
''Of course l noticed it." he testify

Fishes Variable Coats.

Almost .very one knows that many
animals wear coats suited to the sea-
son, both in color and thickness, but
few, perhaps, are aware that many
fishes do the same thing. "If speci-
mems OF the black nosed dace are
caught very early in the spring, one
will be able to watch some interesting
color changes" says The Cornell Ma
ture Study Quarterly. LAS the spawn
ing time approaches the dark band on
the sides and the fins change to a
bright crimson. Sometimes the whole
body may be of this gaudy color. Dur
ing the summer the lateral band be-
comes orange. AS the season goes
the bright colors gradually fade, until
finally in the fall and winter the little
black nose is again clothed in its
more modest attire. A great many of
the fishes, and especially the larger
ones, seek some deep pond or pool in
the stream at the approach of winter,
and remain near the bottom. If the
pond or stream is so deep that they
do not become chilled they will remain
active. swimming about and taking
food all winter But when the stream
is very shallow and the fishes feel the
cold they settle down to the bottom,
moving about very little and taking
little. or no food. The carp collect in
small numbers and pass the winter
in excavations that they make in the
muddy bottom. If the debris thrown
up by the water across the marshy
end of lake be raked over during the
winter, one will probably find some
of the smaller catfishes spending the
season in a semi-dormant state"

Courtesy stood for much In the old
time when in war a ship that car

were then the exemplification of the

of international warfare to come be-

The dolls that could thus save shin

Paris in this way sent out her latest

German women what Parisiennes were
wearing.

mated LA Grande" and la Petite

Our importation of Potatoes.

"Besdes the large quantities of po-
tatoes that we import from Bermuda,
from Scotland and Ireland, there are
between $4,000 and 10000 bushels of
potatoes shipped to this country an
nually from Germany" said an i'm
porter of the vegetable in New York
to the writer a day or two ago. 1.-THE
German potato is peculiar variety
that is exclusively used for making
potato salad. The American potato
is not suitable for the purpose, as it
cooks dry and mealy, but the German
vegetable when cooked is oily and
moist and sufficiently firm TO admit
OF being cU into thin slices. The po-
tatoes of this variety at their full
growth are small in size, and they
cook much like the early new potatoes
of the ordinary kinds. They cost about
twice rs much as those OF native
growth. "-Washington Star.

A Puss and a Poll
Belonged to a little Miss Lou.
They held convention right out by

And decided the things they would do.
Miss Lou was provoking,
There wasn't doubt;
For twenty-four hours
She hadn't been out.
The Pony was sulky
For want of his sweets,
Miss Pussy for want of her milk,
The Pug was disgusted and growled a
great deal,
Because he'd no bow of pink silk.
The Poll was provoking,
There wasn't n doubt;
For. in spite of these trials,
She would not speak out.
The Pony suggested
And said he should vote
That each one should frighten Miss

sill An Unknown Land.

Large areas of the South American
continent have never yet been trodden
by the foot of civilized man. 1t will
surprise many to learn that there are
larger tracts uneXplored in that region
than in Darkest Africa yet such Is the
fact A large majority of the cities
along the coasts of South America,
known to every pupil in the public
school, were. settled in the Columbian
era. Civilization is in fact much old
er there than in North America. Yet
for nearly 300 years there has been
not much organized attempt to explore
the interior. The first expedition sent
out by South American government
was in 1875. Many of these countries
are without exact maps of their own
territory. Most Of the maps in use
have been made by explorers from
Europe or the United States.
The greater part of the immense
tract of land in the middle of the con-
tinent from Venezuela to Chile has
not yet reached the toughest pioneer
state Of civilization. A considerable
part Of Colombia is still wholly I'M
known. The several Atlantic states,
even as far north as Uruguay, have
many blank sections on their maps.
The Guianas, except for a strip along
the coast are practically unknown.
The condition of affairs in Brazil is
scarcely better. The Brazilian gov
ernment has no department cores
ponding to our geographical or coast
and geodetic surveys. The only ex-
plorlng done has been carried on by
the states. There are large tracts in
che northern part of Brazil which have
never been crossed, as far as is known,
by any white man.

MUSTARD TOO SLOW.

Called Tabasco.
They were two handsome old ladies
sitting at the window with their work
in their laps, one the hostess and the
other the visitor. They were children
together and still talked of their form
er playmates as the "girls."
"Where's Margaret?" asked the visi-
tor.
"Out in the back yard with some
little friends skipping the rope. My
favorite granddaughter, you know"
Rather delicate, I'm afraid. I de-
clare I don't know what the race is
coming to, judging from the girls now
growing up. They don't seem to en-
dure anything. Do you remember how
we used to skip the rope, Sue?"
Just as though it was yesterday.
Salt was the designation when we
just jumped an ordinary rate of
speed, pepper was faster and mus
tard' was the fastest
"That's right. To do anything fast
er than mustard meant fits or palpi-
tation Of the heart. Dear me! 1 don't
suppose that there is one of those
children out there could skip mus
tard' without having a sick spell. We

Grafton, Sue. Let's take look at
them"
When they reached the back door
there was Margaret flying up and down
as though she had wings, springs and
lungs like long-distance runner. She
was jumping two ropes going in oppo-
site directions at the same time and
whirling as rapidly as the operators
could make them.
"Come here at once, Margaret"
called the hostess, "what in the world
are you doing, child? It's enough to
give you convulsions. WHY. it's fast
er by far than mustard"
Mustard" sneered the granddaugh-
ter, who was breathing easy. Its
too slow for u.s., That's 'Tabasco'
Pm doing"
Then the old ladies filed back, looked
sheepishly at each other, and went to
talking about how much better looking
girls used to be than they are now

Hints For Mrs. Just-nIarried,

A meal should never be announced
until everything is in readiness.
The coffee should be served very hot
and with hot milk.
The glasses should, be freshly filled
with clear, cold water.
The butter should be kept in the re.
frigerator until the last minute in
summer but kept where 1t will be soft
enough to spread in winter.
The table should always be so kept
as to be ready for guest with but
moments notice.
A cotton flannel "silence cloth" not
only makes the tablecloth look infin.
itely handsomer, but preserves the
rarnished surface from stains from hot
dishes.
A polished table if used must be
spotless; it is therefore not desirable
for every day use, as there is too much
work involved in keeping it in order.
A sufticient number of knives, forks
and spoons should be placed on the
table so that nothing need be called for
after the family are seated

Uses of Olive Oil.

No household where there are chill.
dren should be without olive oil, for It
is an invaluable medicine in certain
cases. For weakly or rickety child
or one who Is recovering from typhoid
fever salad oil will sometimes work
wonders. The plan is to rub in the
oil over the whole of the child's body,
especially about the upper part, TAX
Ing a few drops at a time into the
palm of the hand The nourishment
thus absorbed through the skin will be
of immense service in building up the
childs strength. When q child Is suf-
fering from Il severe cold it is Il good
plan to omit the daily bath and to rub
the back and chest with olive oil. To
insure no further cold being caught
the child should be wrapped in a blan-
ket and carefully screened from drafts
while the rubbing is being done. A
threatening Of Group often win end in
q tAsEsatening only If the oil and cam.
phor be applied .tQ the chlld's chest.
The method is to saturate a piece Of
flannel, sprinkle 1t with 4 little pow.
dered camphor and apply It t6 the
chest and throat as warm as it can
be borne. Cover with a piece of dry
flannel and change as soon as it gets
