How 10 Remember THINGS.

You have all heard of tying a
string around your fingers to make
you remember something. And you
have also heard perhaps Of the man
who had to tie a string around an
other finger to make him remember
what the first string was for, But it
seems that there is a better plan
than that, and if you have a grand
mother, and if she happens to have
false teeth, you might try it with
her. The editor gets the suggestion
from boy whose notions are moth
ing If not original. He has o grand
mother, who unfortunately forgot
to bring him one time a present
that she had been promising, and it
was then that he made the original
suggestion. He told her he did not
believe in the string tying plan, but
she would be sure to remember his
present if she would put her false
teeth in upside down. - Chicago

CoGnsh Hash.

Cut fine one cup of potatoes as
for hash and add one cup Of salt
fish, washed and shredded into small
pieces. Put the fish and potatoes
into a frying pan and cover with
boiling water. Cook until potatoes
are tender, drain, add lard or any
fat you may prefer and fry. If you
have any salt pork or bacon, it
makes it delicious to cut it into
small pieces and add to the hash
when irving.
