NOT THE FISHs FAULT.
So the Preacher Accepted the shad
That Had Taken the Bait on ~
Sunday.

truly devout man is Rev. Cyrus
Townsend Brady, distinguished no less
as an author than as a preacher. He
is very fond of the shad that run up
the broad stream that flows by his
country house on the Delaware. The
fishermen of the neighborhood are
aware of Mr.. Brady's weakness and
take pains to cater to it. They never
fail on the first spring casting of the
seine to present one of their largest
shad to the clergyman.
But last spring the first cast was
made on Sunday and the fishermen
hesitated, therefore, about making Mr..
Brady their usual gift. Finally, though,
they decided to risk it, and one of their
number called at the Brady residence
with fine shad, relates the Chicago
Chronicle.
Mr.. Brady" he said, IT took the
liberty of bringing you this fish,"
THANK you, Tom, thank you," said
the minister, and he relieved the other
of the shad.
only l must tell you," said Tom.
shat the catch was made on a Sum
day, sir"
Mr.. Brady frowned. He half extend
ed the shad to the fisherman, then he
half drew it back again.
well, Tom" he said, at length, an
keep it anyway. What happened was
wrong, but surely it was not this poor
fish's fault"

THE NEW SPRING HATS.
Some of the Advance styles Reported
! by Journal of the Millinery
Trade.

To suit the new hats the hair will
have to be dressed fuller in front;
this is point which milliners must i'm
press on their customers, says the Mil
linery Trade Review. The opening OF
the hat is small, whatever be the width
of the crown, and therefore the band
eau which encircles the opening is
rather far back and should be at least
partly concealed by being embedded in
the hair. The Marquise and the Bre.
ton which are not wide in the brims as
the capelines and plateaux, are also
made so as to stand off the face. They
also have bandeaux.
The first is a large hat of plateau
form in black cabochon straw braids.
The center of the plateau is covered
with a shell-like arrangement of black
chantilly. Growing this, and with
their tips hanging down in the nape of
the neck are two amazon feathers-a
white and black. These feathers are
twisted loosely around each other;
their curl is restricted to the extreme
points of the tips.
~AOOAANA Aol &c ldU Is CONCIcu WIFI
black lace over white lisse and bordered
deeply with black velvet. This has a
low-blocked crown, around the front of
which black lace veil is fastened by
means of jet cabochons, which hangs
loosely over the crown and down the
back. Underneath on the black velvet
bandeau is small bunch of roses.
To-
natural deep yellow tone, is rolled
back in front and folded over behind
the ears. The under side of the straw
is plain, whereas the outer shows
small pattern, principally composed of
tiny, bead-iike spots worked in the
straw. Over the rolled and folded down
portions, which are therefore plain, is
draped deep cream-colored lace scarf
knotted at the back. On the low crown
on the outer side of the brim are ar
ranged in seemingly unstudied fash
ion, rose sprays with tender green
leaves and half-open blossoms of pale
pink.
The brim of a somewhat smaller hat,
made up of cabochon braids in two
shades of light gray-blue straw, is
turned up in front and slightly waved.
For this wild hyacinth blossoms, laid
one against the other, form a charming
facing. They match the straw exactly
save for slight touch of brighter blue
in the hearts of the belle. Wider ca
bochon braids find an appropriate use
in large toque, the color chosen being
light nut-brown. One braid suffices for
the brim. The outer row of braid en-
circling the wide fiat crown has very
pale. beige ribbon drawn through the
interstices of the straw in outstanding
loops. A bow of deep cream lace and a
Quill of the same color inserted in the
straw complete the decoration.
Another toque made Of deep blue CO.
guile braids is trimmed at the side by
a fiat cluster Of pale dull green leaves
from which hang two tassel-like ar
engagements of similar green stalks,
tipped with extremely bright blue
seeds.

NOTES FOR HOUSEWIVES.
Odd Bits of Domestic Lore Among
Which May Be Something
of Value.

Ifmutton chops are rubbed over with
lemon juice before broiling their favor
will be much improved.
To soften hard water add little
borax. Water thus softened is whole
some for cooking purposes and is use
full in laundry for whitening clothes
and effecting saving of soap.
If the vegetables are served with
meat not more than two kinds should
meat and vegetables should please the
eye, the palate and the stomach.
In cleaning oilcloths on the kitchen
washstand cloth dipped in kerosene
cleans more quickly and the cloth looks
fresher and cleaner than when wateris
used. The tin wash basin may be quick
ly cleansed in this way and the smell
evaporates at once.
If the paraffin paper which comes in
the packages of fancy biscuit is saved
and used to wipe the bottom of the
irons on ironing day the effect on the
smoothness of the irons and the temper
of the maid will be quite noticeable.
There is just sufficient quantity of
wax in the paper to make it splendid
cleanser.
Rice cooked in milk instead of water
has much richer flavor. 1t must be
watched closely while cooking, as it
will burn quickly, says the Chicago
Daily News.
When thread twists in sewing take
hold of the loose end, push the needle
down close to the cloth and run the
fingers from the needle to the end of
the thread. This will quickly remove
all the kinks from the thread.
A thin flexible steel knife is one of
the most useful of kitchen utensils.
This can be used for many purposes,
for loosening cakes from the tins, for
icing cakes, scraping dishes or cutting
delicate cakes and buildings whose
lightness would be quite ruined by us
ing heavy dull knife.
Stale bread has many uses, but none
more satisfactory than for the nursery
supper. The bread should first be put
in the oven and carefully Drowned,
then turned out on board and crushed
with rolling pin until it is delicate
and fine. 1t should now be bottled and
kept in dry place until it is required
for use, when two or three tablespoon
fuls boiled in fresh milk and little
salt will make a delicate, wholesome
supper for children.

DOMESTIC LORE.
A Variety of Household Information
from which Something of Value
May Be Cleaned.

One of the secrets of perfectly laun-
dered garments is in the starching.
Always turn garments wrong side out
before putting them in the starch, rub
and clap the starch well through, but
do not let bit of it run upon the right
side. Thin materials should not be
Starched at all, but should be dipped
into gum water made of white gum
arabic. Especial care should be taken
in sprinkling such garments, as they
cannot stand the drenching which
thicker materials are often treated
to, says the New York Post.
A chicken, weighing two pounds or
more, may be "broiled" in the follow
ing manner: Split down the back and
place, spread out as for broiling, in a
baking pan in which there is little
hot water. Cover and allow the
chicken to steam, adding little water
If it is needed, until it is tender, but
not fully cooked. Then place it on
the broiler, spread with little butter,
and broil. Place on hot platter and
cover with Maitre d'hotel butter. For
this, cream two tablespoonfuls of but
ter, adding gradually the juice of a
lemon, a tablespoonful of finely
minced parsley, and little nutmeg.
This sauce, it may be added, is one
of the simplest and at the same time
one of the most delicious. and is good
with all kinds of broiled meat and
fish.
Every cook should know how to
make three or four simple sauces, for
nothing adds more to the appetising
qualities of meal. The French cynic
who said that the reason why the Eng
fish considered it bad form to dip their
bread in their sauces was because they
had no sauces worth dipping bread
into, had slight foundation for his
remark. A thick mayonnaise is the
basis for sauce tartare. Add to it
tablespoonful of chopped cucumber
pickle, chopped olives, few capers,
and a dash of onion juice, season
rather highly, and toss lightly.
Save the jars in which the imported
Canton ginger is packed to use for
small Towering plants. At this time
of year the Persian cyclamen is espe-
cially attractive for the table. 1t
comes in several beautiful rich colors,
as we'll as white, and if given plenty of
light, and not too much heat, will re-
main in bloom for a long time. A
deep crimson cyclamen In a gray gin
ger jar is cheerful object on q break
fast table, the more SO if blue and
white china is used.
Do not clean plateglass mirrors with
soap and water, which sooner OF later
dim the surface. Alcohol and water
is safe, but unless the mirror Is actual
" dirty, rubbing with a soft cloth
cleanses it perfectly. 1t is best not
to use soap on table glass, much of
which is rather soft and easily
scratched. For this reason avoid the
many patent polishing powders and
cloths advertised to give high polish
to good glass.
If teapots or coffeepots become dis
colored on the inside, boil in a strong
solution of borax for is or 20 minutes.
Borax is excellent for cleansing dis
colored tinware of any kind.

FUN WITH GRAY SQUIRRELS.
As 1t Is Practfced in the south, This
Sport Calls for First-CIass
Shooting.

In the woods of southern Arkansas,
Louisiana and Mississippi at this sea-
son the squirrel hunter is having all
the fun he can stand up to in a day.
The leaf-shedding trees are bare, but
the southern squirrel, unlike it's north
ern brother, does not hole up in the
winter. 1t is in evidence through all
the daylight hours, says the New York
Sun.
In those parts of the south which
are still far removed from railways,
the squirrel is hunted with the rifle,
just as it was hunted so or 100 years
ago. The weapons often are rifles
with abnormally long, soft barrels
and a caliber as small as 20, muzzle
loading, of course, and some of them
used to be fired with fiints. These
guns are wonderfully accurate, are
fired with black powder and because
probably they have so much longer
barrels, hold up better than the short
er modern breech-loading arm of the
same size.
A pinewoods dweller in the south
will take squirrels head as target
at so yards and center it more often
than he will miss it, the round bullet
going very truly and hard
Nearly all of the squirrels are of the
small, active, mischievous, toothsome
gray kind. Shotguns are generally
used on these and they furnish sport.
1T is, of course, no trick to knock down
a still squirrel with charge of No. 6
shot, but they are not often still, and
the men who hunt them would disdain
to shoot them anyway.
They are taken when on the move,
most often when running swiftly
along branch high up, or leapin :
from tree to tree, and there are many
easier marks. 1t is not natural to man
to shoot with gun pointing at the
sky, the branches interfere, the target
Is small, often exposing but little of
Its body to the shot, and it gets
through the woods at surprising speed
Persons able to make fair scores on
flying birds in the fields are often sur
prised when they first go after gray
squirrels. Taking squirrel in mid
air when it is making some leap of
20 feet and hangs outlined for but part
OF a second requires quickness and
accuracy.
Since the squirrels have a great ex-
tent of territory, mild climate, breed
frequently and never die from ex-
posure, there are literally tens of
thousands of them. On any sunny
afternoon in a bit of forest back of a
plantation on which corn has been
grown close down to the woods man
will see hundreds in walk of half a
mile, 1t is nothing for man or boy
to kill from rs to 30 squirrels in half
q days shoot, tie them in punches to
the saddle strings and come riding
out of the swamp with legs hidden in
gray fur.
There are few more attractive
sports, for the man has the deep still
ness of the woods around him, the myr-
lad life of the forest, and he gets
very close to nature. If he will smoke
his pipe quietly while sitting on log,
the squirrels will race all around him,
venturing close in angry daring, and
scolding volubly, endeavoring to drive
him away with noise; but if he will
stay long enough they will cease after
awhile and go about their business as
If he were not there.
