For the past ten years Mr.. Cannon

A Fowl That Won "A battle.

A singular story is told of a gallant
whose moral influence at d critical
moment during the battle at st. Vim
cant helped to save a British mau-of-
war from the hands of the enemy.
The fc~.! Il question ecc.:a! part Of
the live stock Of the Marlborough, a
vessel which had suffered sc severely
that her captain was considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of striking his flag. The
ship was entirely dismasted, while the
chief officers had been carried below
severely wounded, and the crew. with
out anybody to cheer them up, were
beginning to grow sullen under the
heavy FIRE of the enemy, to which they
were hardly able to respond. At this
emergency a hot struck the coop in
which the fowls were confined. The
only surviving occupant, Il cock, find
ing himself at liberty, tiuttered up
and pArohed himself on the stump Of
the nainmast and surveyed the scene
Of carnage around him. Then, Tapping
his wings in defiance, he began to crow
vociferously. He was answered by
three hearty and eXhilarating cheers
from the crew. who all had q good
laugh and. with spirits thus renewed,
continued the action with a vigor that
lasted until a turn in the battle res
cued them FROM their tight position

In politics the plurality is the great
est Of more or two numbers and is
also the excess of the highest number
of votes cast for any one candidate
over the mex highest number When
q candidate receives out Of 10000 votes
cast 1000 and two other candidates
receive respectively $500 and $500,
the first is elected by a plurality,
though he has received less than a
majority of the whole vote, and he is
said to have a plurality Of 500 votes.
If the numbers are 5000, 5000 and
1000, the majority is 1000 and the
plurality is 5000. A majority, there
fore, must be more than half the en-
tire vote cast, and a candidates me-
tority is, then, the difference between
the number Of votes he received and
the combined number Of votes cast for
all other candidates; his plurality is
the difference between his own num-
Der n the number received by the
candidate nearest to him. Oftentimes
a candidate receives n plurality, but
not a majority. Unless there Is a tie
there is always a plurality.-Path-
finder.

Short Suggestions.

To whiten tallow for toilet purposes
add a little alum or saltpeter.
In lighting candles hold the match to
the side of the wick, and not over the
top.
If you will varnish your linoleum
about every three months it will last
much longer than without the coats Of
yarniSh.
Try using celery seed instead of co.
cry salt for soups and salads \and you
will observe Il decided change in the
flavor.
Cling peaches should be preserved
whole. The skins can be removed with
boiling water. the same process used
for peeling tomatoes.
To clean your gilt picture frames rub
lightly with hot spirits of wine or oil
of turpentine and apply with small
PONCE Use the liquid sparingly.
If a few drops Of glycerin be added
to the starch for linens, it viii be found
that the iron will not stick and that
the linens will have a beautiful gloss
after they are ironed.
Use a clean brick to stand the iron
on when ironing, instead of the usual
ironing stand. 1t has no Ioles under
meath to admit the air and the irons
will retain their heat much longer.

Having tried it, l recommend the
following mode of keeping ice water
for Il long time in Il common pitcher
says Il writer in Women's Home Com
'panion. Place between two sheets of
thick brown paper Il layer of cotton uat-
ting about half an inch in thickness 3;
fasten the ends Of the paper and bat
ting together, forming Il circle, then
sew or paste Il crown over II end,
making box the shape of a stovepipe
hat minus the rim. Place this over an
ordinary pitcher filled with ice water,
making it deep enough to rest on the
table, so as to exclude the air, and YOU
will be aStOnisled to see the length OF
time that the ice will keep and the
wafer remain cold after all the ice ha,

c,-,ou. Japnnc.e Festival.

The spring festival of the Japanese
q known as the Setsubun. This is the
period when the winter first softens
into spring. 1t is chiefly famous for
the curious festival, the casting out OF
devils. On Inc eve ~ the S2tsI5iH, /.
little after dark, the caster-out of devils
PUSHES through the town, offering to
exercise all devils from the homes AMI
call good fortune In. For a trising
fee he performs the rites that are
needful to accomplish this. This on
sists Of rec!ting a Buddhist prayer,
shaking a shakujo, and scattering
around the house in all foul directions
dried peas.
These peas are afterwards swept
ND, and whom the first burst of spring
thunder Is heard they are cooked and
eaten. No devil will ever trouble a
house In which all these rites have
been re%verently performed.

Any one who has attempted to re-
move q yery tight screw knows what
a very difficult business it Is. After
straining and twisting for a con-
siderable time the operator frequent
ly ends by losing his temper and de
stroying the bite of the screw, which
remains fixed as tightly as ever. With
the aid Of a pair Of p~inchers, however,
the affair Is quite a simple one. Place
the screwdriver in position and then
catch hold Of the blade with the tinch-
ers just above the head of the screw.
Press the screwdriver firmly and at
the same time twist round the blade
with the pinchers. The tightest screw
will yield Immediately to this sort of
persuasion.

Now for the Tourist FAkiP.

A workman was burning on an al
penstock the words "Jungfrau,"
"Materhorn." Transformations" and
"Eiger." AS soon as he finished that
task he applied a coat Of varnish to a
suitcase covered with red and yellow
hotel labels.
THE explanation" he said, as that
travellers, like fishermen, fake and
blow. If the owner of that alpen.
stock had really assembled all thoss
mountains. he'd have burnt their names
In at the time. The varnish on his
suitcase? Oh, that is to keep the labels
from peeliIg off.
Summer is upon US, and till the late
autumn I'll burn on alpenstocks the
names of inaccessible peaks, and I'll
varnisL %suitcases covered with the
labels Of the costliest hotels of Europe.
Its odd how the poorest Of US
when abroad, stop, according to our
labels, at Claridge's In London and the
Ritz in Paris"

''POtY to Men d.

This is an excellent way to make a
broken enamelware pot as good as new !:
Take equal parts of soft putty, finely
sifted coal ashes and table salt. Mix
and pack it well into the hole, or on
the place where the enamel is worn o.
wearing. Place the pot on the Si"ve
with a little water in it, until the
hardens. 1t will last a long
time. And take notice hat this recipe
calls for nothing that cannot be easily
obtained. Buy a nickel's worth of putty
from any plumber.
