Advice For Naggers.

There is the woman who nags, and
MANY do without being conscious Of it.
She is often perfectly well bred in all
other respects, but she loves her hus.
band so that she can't help but ply
him with questions. The why's and
where's and whens and II told you so'
beIcome daily routine which exhausts
THE patience of the best Of men. A
Wise wife should remember that when
a thing has once been talked over and
thfeshed out it Is good form at least to
lett it alone. If it is a fault that must
be lcured or habit endured she should
remember that men folk are often like
BOI Peeps lost sheep-"if you let 'em
alone they will come home" etc. Con-
staht reference to a fault or manner
smi is the cause Of more marital infe-
iicity than the. average wife dreams Of.

What the Siamese Eat.

Siamese food principally consists OF
dried, frequently rotted, fish and rice,
done into curries which comprise a
little of about every kind of condi
ment, and especially very popular
sauce called namphrik, chutney-iike
and thoroughly mixed thing made OF
red pepper, shrimp, garlic, onions, cit
ron, ginger and tamarind seeds. The
only reason for the fish being putrid
is because the natives like it so, for fish
are plentiful in the rivers and fisher
men numerous, though their ways OF
catching are rather amusing and an.
tique. One favofite method borrowed
with long bamboo sticks to brighten
the fish into an eight or ten foot squar
ish net, which is lowered into the river
| from a framework on the bank by a
system of wheels and ropes and pulleys.
land hoisted up again when the catch is
complete. I must confess that when
The fish in the curry CHANGED to be
dried instead of decayed, | found the
detection decidedly toothsome. In
fact, a really good curry is in class
apart, and one must go to India or the
Far East to get it at its best. Some
times the natives eat pork and often
Hines chicken, but for the most part
dice and the fish curry constitute their
chief diet, supplemented by the fruit
df the country, of which there are
many kinds-mangosteen, mango, pine
apple, banana, orange, bread fruit, and
that most healthful and serving of all
Siamese fruits, the papaya, which
grows back from the water and is a
gIrenish oval amion that suggests can,
tAloupe when opened.-Outing.

Industry Encouraged.

J. H. Bouslog, Industrial and Immi-
grafton Agent Of the Gulf and Ship
Island Railroad, is distributing along
The line of the railroad Cassava canes;
also Guinea and Para grass roots for
forage and hay purposes. He is also
distributing Chinese sugar cane seed,
which is said to equal the Louisiana
cane for manufacturing purposes. The
chief object in Introducing this varie-
ty is it's recommendation for forage
purposes. 1t is said that after pro-
lucing canes Of the finest quality for
two years the roots will, after that
time, permeate the entire soil and pro-
auce crops of forage for the entire
year Of greatest value for stock Of all
kinds, and lasts indefinitely.
