"Who is talking about me" asked
that young lady, as she entered the

and try the song I promised you this
evening No, you cannot come. Col

door, Bessie sought the little music
room where her friends children prac.
ticed their lessons.
Poor Bessie she lOnged TO be alone
with her terrible heartache. She saw
It all now, the mistake she had made
all that she had lost. GLOW, oh, how
could shemeet him. Tnyoinntarily she
began TO sing one of the songs Frank
liked best. Some one passed through
the hall. the footsteps ceased and the
shadow OF man In evening dress
darkened the doorway. Bessie looked
up, and with pleading cry: Frank.
Frank. forgive me; I did not know; /

chance TO tell what she thought, for
two strong arms were around her and

soap and powdered chalk are also ef-
fectual. Ink spots are removed by va
rious things, according to the nature
OF the ink. Old-fashioned ink made Of
tannate of iron could be removed by
immersing in sweet milk until it
sOured. The writing auids now used
are generally aniline inks and require
much more heroic treatment.

FORAGE AND LAYING.

Fowls usually do much better when
they run at large than when restrict
ed in narrow limits in the coop or yard.
Their health is improved, their flesh is
finer and better favored, and they will
produce more eggs at large than IN
confined gituations. The turkey. in
particular, is a strenuous advocate OF
the largest liberty. A common picket
fence, seven feet high, vii effectually
exclude hens. 1t being well known that
some fowls rarely attempt flying over
such fence, and when made plain the
fence will perhaps cost as little as al.
most any other. To have the poultry
yard profitable the hens should not be
kept until they are old, as they may
not produce as many eggs after four
years IS those of one or two years.
Much. however. is dependent on the
breed kept, so far as good layers are
concerned. More attention must be
paid TO the breeding of fowls for util.
ity than has been done IN the past
All thoroughbred fowls should be bred
for utility first, leaving tie less i'm
portant points of mere fancy as a sec.
ondary matter. Not that breeding for
feather and form should be discarded.
for it has been one of the great means
of the rapid advance of the poultry
interest during the past few years, but
If fanclers had tried as hard to breed
great layers as they have to breed fine
feathers the result would have been
still more satisfactory.

Cushions or pillows of straw covered
with grass cloth in basket weave are
cool and effective. Washable pillow

The daily cleaning of the refrigera

and is disastrous to the supply of ice.
Some servants may mix this task in
with their dish washing and morning
work, prolonging it unnecessarily. In
reality it should be done with dispatch
and system. These directions from
the buyer Of n department store are
worth considering:
Before cleaning the refrigerator re-

Then, as quickly as possible, return all

Wolf Fish Caught In Puget sound.

One of the greatest freaks of the fish
known rs n wolf fish, is now In the
possession of the Morgan Oyster Com
pany. Ii Is one of the most curious
specimens OF fish ever taken. Only
two others of its kind, so far as known,
have been caught In Puget Sound.
This one was caught In the oyster beds
between Chico and Silverdale. Port
Washington Bay, by +. Hoover. He
had out about 100 set lines last We'd
nesday. and good sized fish hung up
on one of the hooks. Along came the
oyster cracker, and. plratelike, swal-
strong line. likewise strong hook.
and the pirate was unable To extricate
himself. Hoover brought the strange
inhabitant of the deep TO this city.
This particular oyster cracker has n
head like Sleeps. 1t is fully as
studded with teeth with the strength
and durability OF steel. With them II
crushes oyster shells and crabs with
the ease that a hog devours an acorn.
The wolf fish is six feet one inch
long and weighs twenty-five pounds.
When cleaned for preservation. oyster
shells. whole fish, crabs and other
small sea inhabitants were found In
the oyster crackers stomach.
This wolf fish has six sets OF molars
| one for each upper and lower law and
one in the centre above and below
Its front teeth are long and pointed
The back teeth. or crushers. are thicb
and shorter.-Seattlc Post.Intclligenc

There Is no possible objection 10

they are Doken in small bits 50 that
the hens may not readily recognize
them. or they may get in the habit Of
eating eggs. Oyster shells and clam
shells pounded up fine must also be
fed. and in liberal quantities. for all
OF them are needed TO provide the hen
with material to make shells. DO not
