HOTEL KEEPS TROUT POND.
Fish Are to Be Caught Alter Guest
Gives Order.

Gives Order.
Another step has been taken in that
art of supreme simplicity which is
fast becoming the distictive feature OF
the London school of epicures, says
the London Express.
The Carlton hotel is bringing live
trout from Barrasford-on-Tyne. The
The tanks in which they are carried
are packed in ice, and the water is
changed several times on the way, so
that the fish arrive in London In
prime condition. They are at once
transferred to great tank fed by
running water over miniature ice
bergs This tank is covered with
wire netting to keep the vigorous fish
from leaping out. Presently glass
will be fixed in an annex to the
palm garden beyond the restaurant,
and those who are so pleased may go
and see the actual fish caught ten
minutes before they are served at the
table. Of course this custom is
fairly common one on the continent,
more especially at little inns among
the mountains, but until M. jacques
took it in hand it has never been a
success in London. Last year Wis
itor to Fevey spent one of the most
exciting quarters of an hour of his
life in trying to land a six-pound carp
for his lunch from the private fish
pond of little inn at Vevey. 1t was
not until assistance had been given
that the fish was triumphantly caught.
Every year at the great London res
taurants the demand for plain fare in
creases. Nothing could be more per-
fectly simple than ''truite au blep'-
trout fresh from the stream, plainly
boiled. London is setting a new fash
ion in epicureanism. 1t insists on the
very best materials perfectly cooked
and in such a manner that the orig1-
nal favor is not lost. The age OF the
sauce is happily over. England is
going back to plainly boiled, grilled
and roast meats, but discarding the
coareeness Of our forefathers in faver
of tie delicacv of French methods.

A Cat Show
Catastrophe
BY. M. M. Copper
Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)


Miss Janet Gordon was three years
younger than her sister, and their
unttei ages made a total of lit years.
l would not for worlds be more explicit
on such a delicate subject. Miss Ade-
laide Gordon always affected costume
OF black and purple; her sister, black
and pink. Black was suitable to their
time Of life, they said and economical
withal.
Their little home stood about so
yards back from the village street. You
reached the front door by a narrow
gravel path, with small lawn on the
left, a1d border, gay with flowers, on
the right
Everything about ii was small, in
Guiding it's tenants the two Misses Cor
don. Some people went so far as to
say you needed magnifying glasses to
see the house at all but this was
gross exaggerat.on. The smallest thing
of all was the Misses Gordon's annual
income
| think it was the constant effort to
make that sum supply the necessaries
OF eXijtence that had sown SO many
anxious lines On their faces. In winter,
when the little ladies shivered with
cold, an extra woollen shawl had to be
put on instead of resorting to the
simpler expedient of another shovel Of
Goals OF the tiny fire. Also, there is
certain monotony in bread and cheese
as the invariable menu for supper; but
the Misses Gordon would partake of it
with admirable appetites, and look all
the while, with beaming eyes, at the
further end of the table, where were
placed large saucer CT thick, rich
milk, end a small plate on which lay a
dainty slice of liver.
''Whlle we can afford that" Miss
Adelaide would begin sometimes, and
then break off as though words failed
ner; ard Miss Janet would reply:
my dear sister, We cannot be too
thankful
hasten to explain away the wrong
impression which this gratitude might
create These viands did not represent
the Misses Gordon's second course, but
Peters supper. Whoever felt the pinch
of poverty at the little cottage it was
not Peter. If l have not alluded to
Peter tefore, it is because the most i'm

nous sum! But I suppose 1t would
be safer. Think of seeing Peter sur.
rounded by people longing to buy him
if they only had enough money
The Misses Gordon thought the days
went by very slowly. They longed to
display Peters charms to an admir-
ing and envious crowd. On the morn
ing of the eventful day they came
downstairs in their best Sunday gowns
and bonnets. Peter was stretched at
full length on the lawn, basking lazily
noyed when Miss Janet swooped
round the corner, picked him up in
her arms and started off with her sis
ter to the station.
Fortunately the journey by train was
a brief one, but when they reached the
hall, and Peter found himself being put
in wire cage, to which large card
with his class and price was attached
and, in addition, hot scarlet rib
bon tied round his neck-he lost his
temper completely. The two little
ladies were bursting with pride at this
triumphant result of their labors, but
Peter wagged his tail furiously and
showed his disapproval in every hair.
Goodbye, darling, darling said
the little sisters, I'VE shall come back
this afternoon, Peter, and hear every
body admiring our lovely pussy.
Peter, darling, kiss me-" and Miss
Janet knelt On the dusty floor and put
her face to the wire caGe, regardless
Of spectators. But Per refused.
He was furious at the trick played
upon him; he wanted his soft, green
lawn. and he swore at Miss Janet and
dashed his angry tail against the
bars. Miss Janet rose hurriedly and
without another look at him hurried
out of the hall. Neither sister spoke
for long time; then Miss Janet said
TREMENDOUSLY:
HE doesn't like it, dear Adelaide;
l wish we had known"
'Oh, WE'LL" said Miss Adelaide, with
determined cheerfulness. 1T is only
until five o'clock, and he will forget
all about it when he is home again.
81 never dreamed he would dislike
it," faltered Miss Janet, and she could
not enjoy the Lisbury shop windows
as she had anticipated, because OF
continuous mist before her eyes.
At half-past four the Misses Gordon
hurried back to the hall. Without
looking to the right or left the sisters
worked their way through the crowd
until they reached Peter.
Pc" they began simultaneously,
but the words died away on their lips.
Another card was hung on Peters
cage, and it bore the word "Sold" in
large red letters. Miss Adelaide
turned very white, but Miss Janet few
to the nearest attendant and grasped
the mans arm.
"What-what does this mean?" she
stammered, pointing to the card, her
voice harsh and strained.
"The cat was bought, ma'am, almost
directly we opened" said the man,
with a broad grin of congratulation.
Bought" gasped the old ladies.

The two little figures stood there
gazing at Peter without moving or
speaking. Peter had quite got over
his fit of sulks. He was tired and
cramped, and wanted to be let out
and taken home. He meWed to that

How Many Perfect Eyes?

Various attempts have been aado
to estimate the proportion existing bo.
tween normal and abnormal eyes.
Orlin shows that in 29s cases tested
while under the influence Of atropine.
no case of absolute emmetropia was
detected. Hansen found in 1,610 cases
only rs that were emmetropic. Duer
found 80 emmetropic out Of Ala cases.
Randall examined 1884 school chill
dren and infants and found only about
100 emmetropic.
Thus, in 4,157 cases only 1876 emme-
tropes were found. which average
shows that in every 100 cases four or
ave may be expected T. have normal
eyes.
