Serious Result of 'Flybite.

From the Atlanta journal.
A fly bite has almost caused Hymen
Richardson of Gainesville, Ga. to lose a
hand or an arm. He had broken the skin
on his hand by striking 1t against a fence.
The scratch was slight. AND he thought lit
tie Of 1t. While reading, a common fly lit
on the member and bit the fresh, raw
skinned place. The bite was not enough
to more than attract attention. Within an
hour or two the hand began to swell, and
soon was infamed and as large as two
hands ought to be. The swelling extended
UP the arm to the elbow and the pain was
intense clean UP to the shoulder. Sym
pathetic cores formed under the armpit and
the injury was alarming. For awhile 1t
was feared that Mr.. Richardson might
lose his hand. Remedies were energetically
used however, and the soreness finally
subsidized.

In the Fort Romie colony in Monterey

sand dollars have been subscribed In Cleve-

The success Of the colonies so far has
depended largely upon the fact that every
member Of them is self-supporting. There
are no dead branches. Only those which
have capacity of bearing fruit are toler-
ated.

IN the stories and jokes it is the
wife's mother-in-law that causes the
trouble" remarked the wise woman.

conner who has robbed her of part Of
her sons affection that would neither
be clever nor well bred-but she ac-
cuses him tearfully of not loving his
old mother any more and very often
by claiming in this woebegone manner
both his time and his attention. She
creates a very much injured feeling
in his wife's heart and causes that
young person to give way to outbursts
of what her husband Indignantly calls
outrageous and unwarranted jealousy.
OF course If there are any sisters to
represent dear mothers lonely condi-
ton and the fact that she is getting
feebler every day they do not fail to
put in their good work, especially if
they resent the fact that their brother
married before they were quite ready
to allow him. Altogether, it seems to
me that the husbands mother is quite
as much to blame as the wife's mother
and that the ideal mother-in-law is as
rare as the dodo."

How to Trim a Domino Tree

A Christmas domino" tree may be
easily trimmed as follows: Make a
layer cake. baking in a shallow tin.
When the cake is cold it should be cut
into oblong pieces the shape and size
of dominos. A tin cutter can be pur-
chased, or the timer can make one.
Dip the tiny cakes in a boiled icing,
using toothpick spears" to accomplish
this result. When the icing is cold
make the domino lines and dots with
melted chocolate. using toothpick for
the purpose. Each domino may be tied
separately to tiny twig with red
baby ribbon or the cakes may be
strung in loops. Several hundred of
these goodies scattered about the tree
will give dazzling effect and please
the little folks immensely.

New Feature of Holiday Feast Bor-

rowed From the South
1t goes without saying that his maj
esty the turkey will grace the Christ
mas dinner table, but for variety and
to give new note to this feast it is an
excellent idea to follow the southern
fashion of introducing ham TO share
honors with the reigning fowl
The ham may be either hot or cold
and should be baked to a crisp brown.
Few there are who understand the art
Of preparing ham in this way. First
it should be partly baked with the
thick outside skin left ON, and then
this should be removed and the fat
stuck full of cloves and left to brown
in slow oven. The spice imparts a
deliciously delicate flavor and should
not be taken out, but left in the ham
just as it comes from the oven. No
sauce is needed with ham cooked after
this rule.-New York Herald.
