'The roar of the ostrich resembles
the roar of the lion because the os-
trlch stole from the lion this sound,
even as one playwright steals from
another q plot" An ornithologist
made that odd assertion in n taxider-
mist's shop. He went on to elaborate
1t. Birds from the ostrich down are
initiative. The ostrich, where he lives
alone, is silent, but in a country where
lions abound he roars. Why? Be
cause for centuries, admiring the maj
esty and grandeur of the lions roar,
he gradually learned to roar himself.
Believe me, IL Is fine to see an ostrich
throw back his little head and emit a
roar like thunder.
"Buntings initiate pipits, and green
fnches initiate yellow hammers. They
seek their food in the winter together.
and they gradually steal each others
calls.

Buttermilk is excellent for cleaning

some hours, then squeeze it out and
wash It in cold water. Lemon juice
is also good.

To rid a room of flies II Is a good plan
to heat a poker and lay 1t on lump
Of camphor, which will give off fumes
most Objectionable not only to flies,

To purify water, tie small piece Of
undyed flannel into the tap, leaving it
rather loose, and 1t will be found to
absorb all impurities from the water.
Renew the flannel from time to time.

Refrigerator Hints.

ke'rigerator Hints.
Keep the ice compartment full of ice.
The more ice the greater the economy.
Ice saving schemes are absurd, de-
seating the purpose of the refrigerator.
1t Is the food that is TO be kept in
stead Of the Ice. Keeping ice in the
lick room or at q picnic is another
matter.
Overripe fruits and vegetables are a
menace to the health IL left in the re-
trigerator.
A cellar or other damp spot is no
place for the refrigerator; on the other
hand II should not be put out of doors
unprotected.
II much ice is used on the table and
Tor other purposes an authority ad-
Uses a storage box for extra ice.
II should be sponged out often with
warm water in which little soda has
been dissolved, and the drain should
hot be neglected.
Should ants get into a refrigerator a
saucer Of tartar emetic mixed with
sugar and water should be placed
there. 1t will drive them away.
Do not think Of covering the shelves
with cloth or paper any more than yor
do the Ice. There must be good circu
lation, with consequent melting of ice
10 preserve the food therein. - Nav

lish-the snow slopes and ridges OF the
Cordilleras of the Andes are visible
nearly always through the haze. At
times the sun shines on them. Then 1t
is like the spring, and one Is tempted
to start out for a brisk hours walk to
greet the snow, for Santiago has n
snowfall only once In ten years, and |
then It is light one. The hour would |
be long one, but the SUBMITS seem
near when the sun shines.
Then have political situation" In
Chile most of the time, as they tell
me. 1t takes the form of ministerial
or cabinet crises.
To read of these crises long dis
lance off gives the Impression that they
are serious Interruptions OF govern
ment functions. Seen on the ground
they are less serious. They are, in
fact, nothing more than the natural
outcome of the political system, which
does not make the chief executive the
head of his party or assure him homo
geneous administration Of his own dur
ing his term of office.
Instead, he has to govern Jointly with
the congress under the parliamentary
| theory carried to the extreme limit.
| Political changes are frequent, and
the cabinet has TO be shifted TO meet
them. Hence the ministerial or cab
met changes.
A crisis was on when l arrived. 1t
has since been resolved In the usual
manner, and the administration Is pro-
ceeding smoothly. The new congress
was elected in March. Its life is three
years, that being the term OF deputies
or representatives. The senators serve
six years and the president five.
There are ninety-four deputies and
thirty-two senators.
1 had chance to see the opening OF
the Chilean congress. 1t Is quite dig
nfied function. Mounted troops from
the garrison were drawn up in the
street, detachment OF military cadets
lined the entrance to the congress
building, and the state carriages, each
with four horses, were in waiting.
The senators and representatives as
sembled in the large salon where theiI
Joint sessions are held; the diplomatic
corps with the papal delegates were
seated at one side, while the diplomatic
gallery was given over to spectators
among whom were n number of ladies
Their presence was said to be an In
noyation of recent years. The acting
president and the members of the cab
, met were seated on the raised chat
or platform.
Commerce and industry are not II
i the most fourishing condition, and tina
. Is why the new congress has seriou
. problems before 1t. Prosperity ha
l waned. In seeking the causes Their
Is difference of opinion. No politica
group cares to be held responsible fo
hard times, and none is able to Il

A Mans Rule For Coffee.

1.-THE coffee at any breakfast table,"
Gays a veteran New York hotel man.
Nger, sis one Of the most important
elements Of q satisfactory meal.
"Coffee should never be decanted.
The pot must be fitted with a cover
that lifts of, and not one which swings
back. 1t must also have a cover for
he spout. Make your own filter from
: piece Of not too fine white flannel
sewn into bag terminating in point,
which must be long enough to reach
to fit snugly over the top. Have your
coffee two thirds Java, one-third
Mocha, or any mixture you prefer
ground as fine as powder. 1t will re-
quire all your Establishment to get
your grocer to do this, but the secret
Of the excellence Of this way Of making
coffee depends upon the fineness with
which 1t is ground. Fill your pot with
boiling water to heat It, pour it out, fit
for each person, and 'one for the pot,
and pour on one large cup of boiling
water for each spoonful Of coffee. The
water must be absolutely boiling and II
must be poured slowly. Let 1t stand
several minutes on the back Of the
range; lift out the bag and send 1t to
the table. I will not say have hot
milk For the perfect coffee you must
have thick, sweet, rich cream; put in
the sugar, then the cream, fill up the
cup from the steaming vessel and you
have that coffee which makes the poll

From one series or these alone IL Is |
estimated that there were excavated |
one thousand million tons Of solid rock. |
Near Aurangabad is a collection of
splendid subterranean temples, with
single chambers. and halls measuring
go feet deep by $50 feet wide. and
these extend for miles.
The roof is of living rock. supported
by hundreds of rock.hewn pillars, and
all around are chapels. chambers and
cells. It, in fact. constitutes, in its en-
tirety. sort of gigantic subterranean
holy city" just such as would be
built nowadays above ground.
But of all artificial caves, the Cata-
combs at Rome have been the cause
of most wonderment and speculation.
1t is estimated that there are alto
gether about six hundred miles Of gal
lerles. the greater portion Of which
is still unexplored.
Constructed for the most part be-
tween the beginning Of the second
| and the end of the fourth centuries,
as a species of subterranean cemetery,
they began to be disued as such so
early as $50 A. D., and burial within
them entirely ceased with the sack Of
the city by Alaric in 410 A. ID.
| Afterwards they came to constitute
a place of pilgrimage, but by degrees
people lost interest in them, and their
very existence was at last utterly for
gotten.
Then on May 81, 1878. some laborers
digging in the Campagana discovered
sepulchral chamber. This resulted
in further excavations, and these in
turn revealed to the amazed inhabit-
ants of Rome "the existence" to quote
a contemporary account, "of other cit.
les concealed beneath their own"
OF course, the Roman catacombs. al
though the finest and most extensive
are not the only ones of their kind In
the world. Near Naples, for instance
some very elaborate ones are to be
seen, with q subterranean church at
tached,
There are also others at Syracuse
which are unique, in that they are sup
posed to have been of pagan origin; a
Malta, beneath the foundations of thu
, ancient capital of the island; at Taor
nina, in Sicily; at Alexandria, ant
| elsewhere.
