LIFE OF THE COMMON EEL.
History Compiled by Naturalist One
of Fascinating Interest.

The life history of the common eel
just completed by DR.. jobs. Schmidt
is mentioned as one of the most fas-
cinating ever worked out by the nat
uralist. The spawning ground for
Europe proves to be the Atlantic,
where the depth is about 500 faith.
oms, along the coast from Norway
to Spain, and to this deep sea region
the cells make long journey from
the inland fresh waters of the CONT
nent.
Here the females deposit their
eggs, which gradually develop into
deep, ribbon-shaped larvae Qepto-
cephalous). The leptocephali reach
their greatest development about
June, when they cease to feed, and
enter into a retrogressive metamor-
phosis, lasting about year, in which
they take no food, and gradually de-
crease in size and take on the slender
eel-like form.
Near the close of this metamorpho-
become very active. They start in
vast numbers toward the coasts, en-.
tering the nearest rivers in Septem.
Der to December, those farther away
in January or February, but not
reaching Danish waters until April or
May. Many perish in the passage of
the English Channel and other waters
on the way. The remnant of the
army of young cells finally becomes
scattered in the streams all over
Europe, where they feed and grow
and prepare to make the return mi
grafton to the sea.-Boston Post.

POTTED LOBSTER.

Parboil the lobster; cut it into
small pieces, and season with mace,
white pepper, nutmeg and salt; press
into a pot and cover it with butter;
bake for half an hour and put in the
spawn. When cold take out the
lobster and put it into covered YES
sells with a little of the butter; beat
the rest of the butter with some of
the coral and cover the lobster with
it. Another way of preparing potter
lobster is to take out the meat from
the lobster without breaking; season
with mace, nutmeg, white pepper,
salt and cloves. Put little butter
at the bottom of a pan, lay the lob
ster over it, placing between the lay
ers a few bay-leaves; cover with but
ter, and bake in a slow oven; when
done strain, lay in potting pans,
and add the seasoning. Haven

WHAT WAS IT
The Woman Feared?

What a comfort to find it is not
"the awful thing" feared, but only
chronic Indigestion, which proper
food can relieve.
A woman in Ohio says:
II was troubled for years with In
digestion and chronic constipation.
At times 1 would have such gnaW-
ing in my stomach that I actually
feared I had al dislike to write or
even think of what feared.
Seeing an account of Grape
Nuts, 1 decided to try it. After a
short time 1 was satisfied the trouble
was not the awful thing feared, but
was still bad enough. However, L
was relieved of bad case of dyspep-
STA by changing from improper food
to Grape-Nuts.
"Since that time my bowels have
been as regular as clock. l had also
noticed before l began to eat Grape
Nuts that was becoming forgetful OF
where 1 put little things about the
house, which was very annoying
but since the digestive organs have
become strong from eating Grape
Nuts, my memory is good and my
mind as clear as when l was young.
and 1 am thankful" Name given by

WOMEN NOT WEAK.

where did the idea that women
are the weaker sex ever originator"
asks an observing woman. What
man could ever endure the physical
hardships to which women cheer
fully expose themselves? Last year
we persisted in curtailed sleeves, but
who ever heard murmur from the
thousands of women who could not
afford granny muffs? If you had
suggested to any of these perishing
ones that it was ridiculous to wear
short sleeves in winter you would
only have been met with blank
stare of pity and contempt. And who
ever heard of a woman putting lin
ing into her transparent blouse be-
cause she was afraid of pneumonia?
Pneumonia over and over again
would be better than the sight of
some horrible thick substance be-
meath a lingerie slip."-New York

STEWED FISH.

Slice one large onion and cook
without browning in two or three
tablespoonfuls of olive oil. When
transparent, add two pounds of any
kind of white fish, cut in pieces. Add
salt and cayenne, and cover with
water. Simmer from twenty to thir-
ty minutes. Beat together the yolks
of twelve eggs, add the juice of two
lemons and one tablespoonful of
vinegar. Stir into this very slowly
some of the hot fish broth and a
tablespoonful of chopped parsley.
Pour this over the fish, and simmer
until the sauce thickens. Be careful
not to boil it, as the sauce would
curdle.-NeY York Tribune.

WASP WAISTS, NO ATHLETES.

If all women bow to the decree of
that mysterious goddess, Fashion,
and compress their waists until it
seems lurch to one side will break
them in two, goodby to the Athletic
Girl. Cribbed and confined in that
breath-taking way, no girl will at
tempt to scale mountains or even
take long walks. She'll have to stick
to automobiles. 1t seems pity, too,
when DR.. Charles Shaw is saying such
pleasant things about women. Seven
out of ten are fitted by nature to
become good explorers" he says. He
adds that he has taken women
through mountains on scientific trips
and they stood the climbing as well
as men could. Besides, he adds,
"they have a latent love of the will
derness that keeps them spiritually
as well as physically vigorous. -

ISOLATION IS HARMFUL.

There is a wise old German saying
that 'only god or a brute can dwell
in solitude" Men and women need
congenial companionship, both for
the sake of health and happiness,
Just as your lungs, after using up
all the oxygen in a close room, need
to be filled with fresh out-of-door air,
so your minds need contact with
other minds to get new ideas.
There is such a thing as mental as
we'll as physical hunger. Herders on
the cattle ranches of the West fire.
quently become mad from the isola-
ton they are forced to endure. Wo-
men on lonely farms and in small
villages grow morbid and mildly in
sane, and people do not guess that
the cause is want of companionship.
1t is for this reason that a woman's
work at home is always more trying
than that of her husband, who goes
to his office, sees new faces and has
the friction that is produced by meet
ing other people.
Even the farmer has more inter
course with his neighbors at market
or at the village grocery than his
wife, who may not see anyone out
side of her own family for weeks.
1t is a great mistake for young peo-
pie to isolate themselves. Even if
their tastes lead them to a quiet life
they should make it a point to Guilt
vate a few agreeable friends.--New

The Mound builders.

After spending three months
travelling in Manitoba and Saskatehe-
wan in search of traces of the pre-
historic mound builders, Prof. Henry
Montgomery, of the University of
Toronto, has decided that this mys-
terious race Inhabited the continent
as far north as 140 miles above the
international boundary line. Mr..
Montgomery, who has devoted Is
years to the study Of mound build
ers and cliff jewellers, says he be-
lieves the mound builders were re-
lated to the cliff jewellers of New
Mexico and Arizona and to the
Aztecs of Mexico.

into slices and put them into the

Scarce Money.

However scarce money may pc at
times at the present" said an old Mis-
sourian, the oldest inhabitants will
recall when it was almost unobtaln-
able and other commodities had to
be used as media of exchange. The
VOLTS scalp was worth dollar be-
cause it was State bounty upon the
death of a wolf, and venison hams
and deer skins also had purchasing
value. Skins of the fur bearers were
likewise abundant and valuable.
When the first Sheriff of Audrain
County, in 1897, went to Jefferson
City to deliver the county revenue,
he met an old friend on the way who,
needing money, wanted to borrow the
actual coin part of the countys rev.
eIue. The good hearted Sheriff lent
it tc him and went on to the capital
and delivered only the scalps- By the
time of the next settlement the loan
was iepaid and the Sheriff made his
next settlement complete. No notl'
or other obligation than the mere
word was given. Columbia Herald.

Helping Advertisers.
One of the best advertising agen-
cies in this country has reception
room known as "the sweat box"
Here the manufacturer of an automo-
bile, or piano-player is invited be-
fore his advertising campaign opens
and long consultation is held for
the purpose of getting at the facts
about his product AMI his business.
The manufacturer is willing to talk
and to tell all he knows. The World
Today says that formerly stenogra-
pher sat in the room and took down
everything the manufacturer said.
But the habit of dictation hindered
him. He spoke formally, and his
thoughts took useless channels. Now
the stenographer is hidden in COM
partment. The manufacturer talks
for record without knowing it. He
chats easily and has his commercial
portrait taken as though he were in
the studio of a photographer who
hides the camera. He discusses COM
petition, manufacturing secrets, his
products, shortcomings, as well as
its beauties When he leaves the
sweat box his advertising agent
has and will keep in confidence data
upon which to build merchandising
plans, while the copy writer's have
their information.
