HIGH ART IN GARNISHING,
How to Make Plain Dishes Appetizing

Housekeepers.

Any well-cooked dish however plain,
can be made truly epicurean by the
garnish applied.
Often, too, exactly the right dress
ing will be found under the hand if
the housekeeper has sufficient judg-
ment to recognize its possibilities.
For a dish of lobster salad there
are lobster claws, lobster coral, cress,
and, for all salads, radishes and beet5

Aspic jelly nodded in fancy forms
or cut in squares is used on cold
meats with mounds of jelly, wreaths

cucumbers, hard boiled eggs cut in fa1-

Tomatoes make a piquant addition
in the case of salads and meats. For
sweets there are many trimmings

cherries, candied fruits, currants, rails

grapes or slices of orange or pine
apple, dipped in white of egg and pow

Predetermined children, she adds, are
generally fond of music, 'caL often sing
even when unable to talk, can play on
some musical instrument alone or with
others" For such she recommends spe-
cial physical exercises, which tend to
awaken the creative faculties of the
mind.
The symptoms of the sub-normal
mind cannot be classified, from the very
nature of things, as are the actions of a
normal child. What constitutes a
backward, or deficient, child?" asks DR..
Bryson. How can you tell one when
you see one? Not in an offhand way;
yet there is something that stamps the
child as different from his fellows. The
lack of command over himself suggests
illness to the inexperienced. Some, per-
haps many, of the stigmata,of degenera-
ton may be present, physical signs of
imperfection, that lead the observer to
infer the quality of the individual. The
roof of the mouth may be high and mar
row, the teeth irregular and misshapen,
the lobe of the ear attached to the side
OF the head, the arms too long in pro-
portion to bodily height or the hands
and feet may show abnormalities OF
structure.
"At the same time, it must be remem-
bered that it is not how child looks that
Classics him, but what he does, what
he is. what he loves and seeks.

WHEN is A BABY NORMAL?
Medical Expert Tells How a Mother
Can Answer the Question
Beyond Doubt.

When a person first becomes a parent
he or she watches the little new
born creature with the most intense
anxiety. The fear sometimes haunts
the parent that perhaps the babe is not
mentally perfect. The father tries TO
solve the problem, but his mind has
nothing to hold to, nothing to guide it
to conclusion. A few glances may tell
that the baby's body has all the outward
evidences of being normal, but the par
ents' endeavors to understand the SLOW
ly-awakening mind prove futile. How
much greater would be my joy" a
mother often says to herself, eff knew
that my baby's brain is as it should be"
According to some experts, however
this suspense is needless. They declare
that the mind of baby Is normal If the
child is able to do certain things at GER
tain ages 1t is only when the baby acts
differently that fear may well seize the
mothers heart, fear that her babe may
be foolish, that only its animal nature
will grow. while the mind remains
dwarfed, sluggish, in a sort Of continual
twilight.
According to specialists, the mental
symptoms of the baby may even be re-

LITTLE GIRLS READY WIT.
Noted Methodist Preacher Tells How
He Profited by Bright Child's
Quick Reply.

The newly elected Methodist bishop,
Dr.. William Burt, of Rome, is noted
for his cheerful and placid manner.
Nothing ever ruffles him. He is never
heard to complain, says an exchange.
A clergyman complimented DR.. Burt
one day on his good disposition.
"You never growl about anything, y
he said. mo matter what kind OF a
meal is set before you, you eat 1t
cheerfully. If you are feeling poorly,
you conceal it. How did you manage
to acquire such fine habit of good
humored tolerance and resignation?
maybe the remark of child that
| once overheard helped me to learn
to complain and grumble as little as
possible" said DR.. Burt. while
was studying at Wilbraham academy,

father-a good maR, but a chronic
growler. We were all sitting in the
parlor one night, when the question
of food arose. The child, little girl,
told cleverly what each member OF the
household liked best Finally it came
TO the fathers turn to be described.
"'And what do like, Nancy" ne
said, laughing.
"'You, said the little girl, slowly
well. you like most anything we
haven't got.

THE RATTLESNAKE'S BITE.
A Matter in Which BackwoodS Ira
dition Triumphs Over Scien.
tifc Research.

Now and then science confirms some
of the old-wife medical superstitions of
the backwoods, says the New York Sun.
For instance, the "yarb" doctors and
old women of rattlesnake regions say
that when man gets over a rattlesnake
bite he has trouble in the wound every
year afterward.
Psychologists and Psychologists who
have studied snake poison agree that
this is true, only the trouble doesn't nee
essarily occur every year. It happens
whenever the system gets out of or.
der
The explanation is simple. Snake poi
son has the effect of destroying tissue.
OF course, it has the strongest effect
in and about the wound where the poi
son, in its course through the veins, has
not yet been diluted by the blood
Ever afterward that is weak point
in the system Any little disturbance
in the blood tends to break out at the
point of the wound
When this happens the old wives say
that it is the poison working. 1t is not,
of course. 1t is only the excess poison
of the body working in the weak spot
There was a case of this kind with
rather unusual history in a Colorado
hospital few years ago. The patient
was a scout who had helped the army
make way for civilization in the Rock
les
The Utes, Arapahoes and other Indi-
ans of that region were mostly unsup-
piled with guns in those days, but they
had most effective kind of poisoned
arrow They would catch bunch of
rattlesnakes, and taking fresh buffalo
liver would make the serpents strike in
1t until their poison glands were ex-
hausted and the meat fairly reeked with
venom.
After that they would leave the liver
in the sun until it became putrid. Into
this they would dip their war arrows.
1t made nasty poison.
With such an arrow the scout was
struck in the leg. 1t carried, of course,
not only snake venom, but all kinds of
possibilities of blood poisoning. By
good luck first-rate army surgeon was
at hand. He saved the scouts life.
This happened in the spring. Every
spring after that the mans leg would
break out with sores and boils and sun
dry other Affections. 1t looked as though
the case were proved for the witch doc
tors.
The physicians went into the life his
tory of the patient, and found that, long
before he stopped the poisoned arrow he
had been afflicted with a breaking out

NO "SPOONING" IN PARKS.
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Alderman Plans
Lighting Dark and Secluded
Places to Prevent Practice.

Last winter the city of GAINESVILLE,
Wis. was electrified by the ordinance
introduced by an ambitious alderman,
which, if passed would have prohibited
loving couples from 'spooning" on the
schoolhouse and church steps. The or
dinance was defeated by the efforts of
Alderman Council. the only bachelor
member of the council. At the last
meeting of the council another bomb
shell was sprung by Alderman Mathe-
son. law partner of Senator Whitehead,
which, if passed, will cause electric
lights to be strung in the vicinity of all
secluded places in the city parks to
prevent lovers from "spooning"
Alderman Cornell has again object
ed strongly to this measure, and by his
persuasive power the ordinance was
held up until later meeting of the coun-
Gil. Connell has been flooded with let
ters of thanks from GAINESVILLE young
women.

SNAKES TERRORIZE A TOWN
Great Numbers of the Venomous Ser
penis Descend Upon Village
of Allamuchy, N. Y.

Rutherford Stuyvesant is building a
macadamized road through the noun
tains near Washington, N. j., and the
heavy blasting has caused snakes in the
hills to migrate down into Allamuchy
village. There are rattlers, adders, cop
perheads and every known variety of
local snake, great and small, in such
numbers that the little village is almost
afraid to venture out of doors or into
it's cellars.
Every man, woman and child carries
club, and the snake stories they tell
are wonderful Peter Mowry, going to
see his "best girl the other night, saw
five rattlers, killed all of them, and IS
making necklace of the rattles for his
ladylove.
Along the main street OF the village
the snakes are so numerous after big
blast up the hill that all the storekeep-
ers close up shop and go out for snake
killing bee. All the churchgoers carry
clubs Sunday morning. They pile them
up like cordwood in the lobby and each
carefully takes his stick when he starts
home
Some of the old residents know charms
that they say are sure protection against
snakes, and they are trying them now.
The ministers look upon the invasion
with fear because some of the young and
middle-aged men are making themselves
immune against the effects of bites by
taking liberal doses of "rattlesnake
cure" every time they leave their
houses. The men say snake can't bite
you if you have got enough rum in you.
The ministers say it is just as good to
hold your breath when the snake is
about to bite but the men prefer the
