GREAT LABOR SAVER
GET PAIR OF SCISSORS FOR USE
~ KITCHEN.
Better Than Knife for Cutting Up
Vegetables or Even Meats-Eas-
iIy Dispose of Chicken Joints
and Lobster Shells.

III you want to see a pair of scissors
put TO all sorts Of queer uses Just
watch some young housekeeper get
ing vegetables ready for dinner or
preparing = salad. 1t Is declared that
in nine cases out of every ten things
can be cut better with the scissors
than with a knife.
Especially in the preparing of salads
should the kitchen scissors appeal to
the housekeeper looking for labor-sav-
Ing schemes. Dicing apples and celery
Is matter of only a moment When,
done In this way, and a few green
peppers may be shipped up in less
time than it takes to tell about It.
The easiest way to dice green pep
pers Is to cut of several long slivers
the whole length OF the pepper. Hold
these firmly in one hand and with
the scissors clip through the entire
punch. Several stalks Of asparagus
may be clipped through in the same
way.
For following out tomato previous
TO stufhng, pair of scissors enables
one TO remove practically all the pulp
without breaking through the skin.
For fruit salads scissors are equally
useful, as the fine skin which sep
arates the sections OF grape fruit and
oranges Is easily clipped on in this
way.
But fruit and vegetable salads are
not the only kinds for which the
Kitchen scissors may be brought into
USE Cold boiled chicken and lobster
are easily cut into pieces, and, surpris-
Ing as II may seem to those who
haven't tried It, chicken joints and
lobster shells are no obstacles when
scissors are used
The hard parts Of oysters and clans
are neatly removed with pair Of
scissors, and slices of cold tongue and
ham are often much improved In ap-
pearance If, before sending to table.
they are trimmed into shape In the
same way.
When 1t comes to preparing cold
vegetables for relocating IN cream

again a blessing. Cold boiled potatoes.

fact any and every vegetable. may
easily be shipped into pieces OF the re-
CURED size. Doing such work with
pair or scissors is not only much
quicker and easier. but the saving Of
ones hands is important. No woman
will believe until she tries for herself
how great a labor saver a pair OF
scissors may prove In her kitchen.

Where Fruit Is Chean.

Fruit is cheap in Morocco. The
warm African sun is there tempered
by the Atlantic breezes which the west
wind watts obligingly all the sum-
mer. There are rivers which flow
through the country from the great
range of mountains which form its
eastern wall and shut it OFF from the
hot winds of Sahara It has a soil so
rich and fertile that with no further
cultivation than that afforded by the
wooden plowshares which have been
In use for a thousand years three
crops year can be garnered. Grape
cuttings stuck roughly in the ground
will in a few years yield good fruit
without care being bestowed on them.
Last year the best black grapes cost
only one cent pound and figs one
cent a dozen. Melons can be had for
nothing.

WHILE ENTERTAINING A DUKE.
A Few Suggestions Made by Writer
in llpplncott's.

Many peonle are unnecessarily en-
barrassed while a duke is visiting
them. This is a great mistake. OF
course duke is duke; but, then,
there is no reason why he shouldn't
be treated with a certain amount of
respect.
To do this II is not necessary to re-
spect him too much. Treat him with
as much respect as you think he will
stand, but do not lavish it upon him.
If he leaves his boots in front of his
door at night, do not feel that 1t is
incumbent upon you to get up at six
o'clock to shine them. Wait until
seven, anyway. He will never know
the difference.
Let him be alone with your daugh-
ter as much as he likes. II he resents
this, tell him he can get even later.
This might under some circumstances
seem too candid; but 1t is better to
meet him In a frank and open-hearted
manner.
At night. before the duke goes to
bed, sneak into his room and turn on
all the steam. Being an Englishman,

plain to him the next morning when
he fans himself down to the breakfast
table, that it's only a foretaste OF
what he may expect later. Not being
able to see joke, he will probably
think that you mean to pay all his ex,
penses to Palm Beach, which will re-
store him to his good humor.
When you have duke on hand, dc

1T SANK THE BOAT
BUT HEN MERRIAM LANDED THE
BIG FISH.
Next Time He Probably viii Know
Better Than to Take Advice Of
Friend Fond of Prac-
teal Joke.

Hen Merriam never would say just
what the black BASS weighed" said
man from Monroe county, land
guess Mark Sullivan didn't know, but
the hammer weighed five pounds.
1T was Sodus bay bass, and when
Hen talked about wanting to go out
and get it or one something like Its
size some one told him the bass ran
so large in Sodus that fishermen who
wanted to be on the safe side took
big hammer along with them to knock
'em in the head. So the hammer Hen
Merriam took with him weighed al
most as much as the cedar boat he
rowed.
Hen, being a railroad conductor.
seemed to expect the bass to be right
on schedule time in taking his hook
after he had thrown In, and so when
10 minutes had passed and no bass
had come along he decided it was so
far behind time that he guessed IT
would have to be abandoned, and he
was pulling up to go in when the bass
came along and got the hook.
Hen started right in to make up
lost time and yanked that bass in
hand over hand. When the fish's head
came in sight and within reach Hen
grabbed his hammer. and being little
mad yet over the bass being behind
time he brought the hammer down
like he was a blacksmith's helper well
on to his job.
But Sodus bay bass are watchful
and spry, and this one ducked and got

though, and 1t had TO hit something,
and so 1t whanged into the side of the
light cedar boat.
1T passed right on through the side
of the boat, making hole big enough
to shove a stovepipe in. The hole be-
ing below the water line of course the
water poured into the boat like tor
rent, and Hen began to yell.
Hayn he yelled. Somebody bet
ter make extra good time over here or
therell be trouble on this Incl
And that was no joke. for Hen had
hardly yelled that much when his boat
sank and he was laundering in the
water trying to keep from following It.
He had the hammer In one hand and
nSlQ IdSI 10 HIS line Win Inc Oln0T.
Mark Sullivan was taking out bass in
a boat near by, and he pulled for Hen
right away.
Don't stop for signals!' yelled
Hen. Pull her wide open, of this bass
will get away!'
Mark got there Just in time to tug
Hen into his boat, and Hen was no
sooner in than he began hauling away
on his bass, which was still on the
hook. When he got it alongside the
boat he handed the hammer to Mark,
and while Hen held the bass with the
top of its head out of the water Mark
used the sledge on it.
HE tumbled the bass skull in at
the first clip. They lifted the fish into
the boat and came ashore Nobody
has ever heard how much it weighed,
for Hen Merriam didn't say and
guess Mark Sullivan never knew.
When Hen told about the bass he just
said it was so big 1t sank the boat.
But If md the man who told
me to take that hammer along as part
of my fishing tackle said he, he'll
know how much weight
Some say the boat cost Hen $40"
