wilkins had employed seven different

stayed more than Il month, and none
had carried away either the esteem or
good will of Mrs wilkins. Most of
them were worthless. some dishonest.
some lazy and some lacked that regard

the house insisted upon. So it came to

he had detled all precedent and on

Exposjnr n Fraud,

Dishonest holders of accident insur.
ance policies frequently put the com.
panies' physicians to needless trouble
by claiming damage for triding hurts
which under the law entitle them ia
nothing. Some deliberately practice
fraud, says a physician quoted in the
Atlanta Journal. and pretend to have
ailments when they are sound In ev-

that the game was up, and he never

COOKING HINTS.

Don't salt cucumbers or eggplant
before cooking. 1t makes them indi-
gestible and .npalatable.
Avoid peeing rhubarb when 1t Is
young and tender, for 1t only needs
wiping with a damp cloth before using.
A piece of tough meat can be very
nicely. stewed In double boiler. 1t
will take twice as long. however. as II
cooked directly over the fire.
Fish which contain few bones may
be converted into fillets by dividing
the flesh from the backbone In long.
wide strips and then removing any
smaller bones. Soles supply the best
fllets.
Crusts and crumbs of bread left over
from the table should be dried, put
aside for rolling and dipping or to be
used in scalloped dishes or mixed with
few sliced apples and baked and
served as a dinner dessert.
To prevent sausages bursting when
cooking put them into a saucepan, GOV
er them with cold water and bring
this to a boil, after which take them
out and fry them in the usual way.
This, 1t is said. will not only prevent
the sausages from bursting, but will
improve their flavor.

Mainly weapons.

The national Malay weapon, the
creese. is said 10 have been invented by
Javanese monarch of the fourteenth
century. Its varieties are said TO exceed
II hundred, and there are in Javanese
no fewer than fifty names for them. 1t
varies in size, from the two foot wavy
blade of Sulu down to mere tooth
pick. But the popularity is that the
weapon is never ground, but kept rough
and sawlike in edge by securing with
lime juice or the juice Of an unripe
pineapple, sometimes mixed with ar
senic, and 1t is on this account that
creese wounds are so dangerous.
Old specimens are SO eaten away by
this practice that the blade seems
formed from bunch of wires roughly
welded up. Such creeses are highly
valued, and some of the ancient ones,
heirlooms of chiefs, with grotesquely
carved and inlaid hilts and sheaths, are
almost unpurchasable.

DOGS AS SCOUTS
Would BE Useful In Fighting Natives
of Jungle Countries.


Captain Steele, of the Sixth Infan.
try, after an experience of the condi-
tons of warfare In the Philippines,
strongly urges that dogs should be at
tached to the army. Ia the Army and
Navy Journal he expresses the opin-
ion that dogs are the only scouts that
can secure small detachment against
ambush on the trails through these
tropical jungles.
The bush Is so dense that fankers
are out OF the question; and trails are
so crooked and over such rough ter
ritory that the point, at one or two
hundred yards, is out OF sight of the
main party. The insurgents, lying in
ambush usually, or often, let the point
pass and open with yolley upon the
wagons and main body OF the escort
They open from apparently impene-
trable jungle, and at n range from
thirty to two hundred yards. They
fire one or two yolleys. then usually
run away. Sometimes never a man
Of them can be seen.
The dogs, pointers or MOUNDS, would
need little training. Their instincts
for hunting and smiling in every hole
and corner would be sufficient to JUS
tify their use.
Captain Steele possesses a dog nam
ed Done, and asserts that up to the
date of writing no detachment with
which II has been out has fallen into
an ambuscade.

There are people who deny that the
horse is able TO plot, 10 conceive or

equipped for thought than the men In
