A fish with a pipe. Isn't Is curiousE
| thought nobody but men and boys
who want to act like men used a pipe.
| wonder what the fish puts in his pipe.
He surely cans smoke down there IN
der the water.
No; fishes don't smoke. Only men
and badly drawing chimneys do that.
Our pipehsh has no such bad habit.
He only carries his pipe because 1t is
put on the end Of his nose. and he can't
get rid Of IT, He is very curious little
creature. about 20 inches long. with a
fan shaped tail, and looks more like an
eel than a fish. Its skin is Of yellow
ish color varied with brown. 1t lives
in the Atlantic ocean and in the Medi-
terranean sea. and the fishermen use it
for batting their hooks.
The ocean is full Of curious creatures
from the whale down to beings 50 small

The proper care Of the coffeepot has
much to do with the making Of the
coffee. However we'll the hOusekeeper
may know this fact. it is one of the
little details that are frequently left
70 the care of the servant girl. and.
as n rule. her care is a neglect. If either
the inside or the outside of the coffee
not must be left unpublished. let 1t be
the outside. To make perfectly sure
that all trace Of the coffee has been
removed from the interior, ill it with
cold water and let it heat slowly on
the back of the range. Empty it and

Nat Goodwin has the apparatus of
Joke that cost him 800. He bought 1t
In the Swiss section Of the lnvalides.
Fortunately, that is, for Mr.. Good
win, If not for his friends, it can be
used again and again; indeed 1t Is
warranted for five years. To whom 1t
may concern, warning. Among the
Swiss clocks was one whence every
hour a little wooden soldier emerged
and fired n gun-for 2 o'clock, for 3
o'clock, and so on.
"I'm going to buy that" said Mr.
Goodwin to his wife, Maxine Elliott

Danger In Damp sheets-A Hanging
PtncushiOn - Green Salad In
stead of Cheese and COnee.

Few people pay sufficient attention
to the proper airing Of bed linen. Damp
sheets are responsible for far more
illness than Is generally supposed.
Every mistress Of house should If
possible personally attend to the airing
Of household linen. 1t Is at all times
difficult to persuade servants that the
airing Of linen and clothes IS not to be
accomplished by simply hanging them
on clothes horse near fire. Unless
each article is unfolded and It's posi-

Pretty China.

The fashionable shapes Of cups and
their decorations have changed Ike
everything else. This year. however,
there is n tendency to go back to the
old time effects. case in point being
the reintroduction of the high saucer
like receptacle that looks very much
like an egg cup with a handle. Instead
of the odd cups which were so much in
vogue n few years ago the sets are
now those with cups and saucers to
match.

A "Svap" Party.

of five little bundles wrapped so that
no one else can suspect the contents.
The bundles may contain anything

Hardy Roses.

You know when summer days are done
And winter days are nigh,
The garden roses, one by one,
Begin to droop and die.
Yet roses have often seen,
The loveliest Of all,
That blossom when the winds are keen
And snowy showers fall
Jack Frost may nip them, but instead
They bright and brighter grow
And redder bloom and roster red
For all the storms that blow.
But shut them in a suliry room.
From out the biting gale,
Then they will fade and lose their bloom
And turn from red 10 pale.
These bOnny roses would you seek
Upon a winters day.
Then look on every healthy cheek
OF little folks at play.

Green Salad Instead of Cheese and
CoTee

Coffee.
There is n growing tendency TO sub
stitute a green salad with cheese and
coffee for the usual sweet dessert
course at the end of dinner which,
with the popularity Of the fruit salad
for the same role, points TO still fur
tier elimination of the pie and pudding
dessert. Few appetltes crave and stlll
fewer digcstions can stand the hearty
milk and egg combinations that have
long been regarded essential for the
dessert course. The salad. on the 9th
or hand. green or fruit Is ut once
tempting and wholesome at the end OF
n dinner As the combinations posi-
bic in either variety Of salad are al
most unlimited and the success OF any
much more certain than the pies ana
buildings Of the average cook, this new
dispensation is to be welcomed for
reasons of appetite as well as Of di-
gestiOn.
