invited their neighbors to help them
to celebrate their golden wedding
AS they welcomed their guests and
walked among them that evening
their minds went back to that now

an assemblage of friends younger and

The prickly Pear of Africa.

Mischievous though the prickly pear
is, it is not without its good qualities.
Its juicy fruit though rather deficient
in flavor, is delightfully."- cool and re-
freshing in the dry heat of the sum
mer, and a kind of treacle is made of it.
Great caution is needed in peeling
the prickly pear, the proper way being
to impale the fruit on a fork or stick
while you cut it open and remove the
skin, and woe betide the fingers of the
unwary new chum" who plucks the
treacherous fruit
In dry weather at the cape these
spiteful little stings do not even wait
for the newly arrived victim, but fly
about, light as thistledown, ready to-
settle on any one who has not learned
by experience to give the prickly pear
bushes Il wide berth.-"Home Life ON

with them. Several beautiful
presents were given to them as a
remembrance of the day.

and, although hardly visible to one un-

gently pushing a bodkin or a piece Of
blunt, smooth wire along the surface
Of the locality mentioned
Vixen the mouth Is at last located
you can thrust your instrument through
between the delicate lips and consid-

without causing the oyster the least

CATFISH.

The United States Fish Commission does well
in saying that the catfish has not received the
attention II deserves. and that il should be
ranked among the important food fishes The
subject is not one calculated 10 arouse wide
spread enthusiasm in the popular mind, nor one
upon which the destinies of nations depend
Nevertheless, the development Of a food supply
that Is at once delicious. nutritious and mex
pensIye is 4 matter worthy Of serious attention
That this generally neglected and sometimes
despised fish offers such a supply of no small
extent may confidently be declared, and the
Fish Commission does a real service in promot-
ING its cultivation.
OF the quality Of the flesh of catfish there
can be no question. We speak not of the huge
creature which frequents the Mississippi and
other Western rivers. the flesh OF which is
coarse and rank. but of the small catfish, from
half a pound 10 a pound in weight, which
abounds in fresh water ponds and streams
everywhere. There is no exaggeration in say
ing that in beauty TO the eye. sweetness and
delicacy to the palate and nutrition 10 the di-
gestive system its flesh is scarcely surpassed
by that OF any other fish in the world Nor
is il easy TO understand why there should be
the prejudice agains; ii that is in some quarters
10 be perceived. The Fish Commission speaks
Of il as an omnivorous eater But it is not n
foul feeder. compared with many other fishes
which are highly esteemed.
Not the least important consideration is the
abundance Of the supply Of this fish which may
be obtained. It's habitat is one Of the widest.
We must take exception TO the statement that
it abhcrs running water. 1t is true that IL
hourishes in stagnant and muddy ponds Rur
il is found in profusion in rivers and brooks.
