Cutie Fishing.

Cuttles require delft handling. The
bait, which consists of a rough chunk
of fish fastened to a hook or even tied
to a string, is not dropped over the side
to be swallowed. but to excite the gus

slowly pulled up until those mollusks

Manicuring In Public Places,

Cleanliness may be next to goodness,
but the persons who manicure their
nails in the elevated trains and street
cars win their way to paradise at the
cost of endangoring the salvation of
others. Hundreds who wish to make a
presentable appearance at their offices
and places of business use the cars of
the elevated and surface systems as
places in which to complete their tot
lets.
A man will pull a knife from his
pocket and proceed to remove the grit
from beneath his finger nails. When he
completes his operation he looks around
with the air Of one who thinks he
should be commended for his habits of
personal neatness. He wonders why

HOW TO BOIL WATER.
An Important Point When the Coffee
Is Being Made.

An Important Point When the Coffee
Is Being Made.
ITO boil wacsr is the simplest thing
in the world" said the steward at one
of the leading hotels of Washington,
but how to boil it is quite another
thing. l believe we have the name Of
having the best coffee of any hotel in
this city. OF course we use good cof-
fee; but, let me tell you, much Of the
praise is due to the fact that the water
with which to make the coffee has
been properly boiled. The secret in
boiling water is just this: Always use
fresh water and let the kettle be warm
before the cold, sparkling fluid is put
Into it. The fire should be quick, so
that the water will boil at once, and
the water should be removed from the
fire the instant boiling point is reached
and poured Upon the coffee or tea or
whatever beverage is in demand i'm
mediately. So many people make the
mistake of permitting the kettle to re-
main over the fire, where the water
steams and SINNERS away, wasting
the good water in vapor. Those who
drink hot water before breakfast, as
many do,~ should insist on the use Of
fresh water and having it served as
soon as boiled"
germs in suspicious water boiling
should last about five enthusiastically

On their return to Mitchell the

Some Difficult Tables.

those commonly used in schools. Most

children, says DR.. Herman V. Hill

cavations, had to go as far as sixty
times sixty,
Numbered fragments of tablets bear
ing these multiplication tables" have
been found, some few of which go as
far as 1900 times 1900. But these
were evidently only for astronomical
purposes. Those old astronomers seem
to have felt hard pressed for time,
and when they were calculating the
distances of the new stars they found,
and their size. they did not want to
take the time to multiply, and SO just
referred to these tables in stone.
