At the bottom Of dreadful hollow

matted over his eyes, his thin hands

Two Kinds of Bass.

A gentleman told his wife one Satur-
day morning on leaving the house that
he was going to spend the day at the
lake fishing and would later wind up
his weeks work at the Office during
the cool evening and would therefore
not be at home till late. He promised
to send out by messenger at o'clock

Joining the other three gentlemen in
the game of palmistry that he thus
sought to cover up he telephoned the
store where he was accustomed to get
all his table supplies to send up to his
house about 6 o'clock dozen bass and
for the messenger to say to his wife
that they came from him. When he
came home on the last reach toward
midnight he asked his wife If she had
got the fine bass he had caught. She
showed them to him. The purveyOr Of
table delicacies had sent him dozen

speciaIties of the Friggitrici In Naples
and Genoa.
Huge meaty chestnuts are found ev-
erywhere in Italy. Peeled and boiled
in a reddish broth seasoned with Iau-
rel leaves and caraway seeds, the nuts
are palatable. About two dozen Of the
large kernels are sold for a penny. In
both Genoa and Naples the friggitrici
are interesting, and some of their spe-
ciaities are we'll worth a trial if one
can forget the unappetizing appear
ance Of cooks and cooking appliances.
One friggitrice attracts attention to a
tray Of golden balls which she piles in
pyramid. The golden balls are arti-
chokes. They are boiled in sailed wa
ter until tender and are put in pan
over steam to keep them hot until
customer appears. For threepence the
vender will take one from the steam
ing pan, dry it, dip it into batter and
pop it into the hot oil. A moment
later a golden brown ball, delicious
and criSpy on the outside and tender
and succulent on the inside, is handed
to the purchaser. The frying is man.
aged in such a way that when the
fritters are taken from the kettle they
are very hot. but SO dry on the outside
that they scarcely soil the fingers when
eaten from the hand. Another frig-
gitrice speciality is that of cheese balls.
They are made of paste filed with
grated cheese and fried. Mashed chest
nuts, rice. chopped chicken and many
vegetables are used to vary the filings
for the popular fritos. Some of the
frying kettles are portable, and the
friggitrici have regular routes like the
milkmen, where they tap at the base
ment door, get their orders. take their
tiny bellows and blow up the char
coal until it glows and then cook the
breakfast of meat balls or rice cakes
or artichokes. which are sent in hot

SoIenodons.

Only two species Of that singular in
sectivorous mammal, the solenodon,
are known, one inhabiting Haiti and
the other Cuba They differ chiefly in
the color and quality of their fur.
Solenodons are quaint looking animals,
rather larger than rats, with long fexi-
BILE shouts and naked tails. They are
nocturnal and obtain their food by
digging in the soft ground for insects,
etc.. with their shouts. Their brain
capacity is small, and they are said to
have the curious habit when hunted
by dogs of hiding their heads in the
nearest holes and leaving their bodies
exposed.

and increasing the efficiency of the

sufficient to permit an attendant to

air laden with moisture from the fruit
is necessary. This may be provided
for by means of an opening in the roof

True friendship is plant of slow

Governor Fort Of New Jersey tells
this story: An old Quaker woman was
a witness in a case which was being
tried one day before Judge Garrison
over in Jersey, and she wore big
poke bonnet which muffied her ears
and prevented her hearing the lawyers
questions. Finally the lawyer appealed
to the judge, and he ordered her to re-
move the bonnet.
"I'll do no such thing" she said tartly.
ST am accustomed to having my will
respected" said the Judge.
"Well, don't care If you are Judge,
that bonnet stays right where 1t Isl"

ironically, "you would like to take my
place as judge, too, eh?'

Running Away From Temptation.

When General Butler was in COM
mand at New Orleans a colonel in the
Red river region made application for
a furlough, which was refused him.
Soon after the colonel left his COM
mand without permission and went to
New Orleans, where he was arrested
and put in irons as a deserter. Upon
an intimation that he wished to make
an explanation General Butler had
him brought to his headquarters.
''Well, SIR" said the general sternly,
what have you to say in explanation
of your conduct?
"Well. general, there are two men up
yonder who have some cotton they
want to get through my lines. First
they offered me $500, which l refused.
Then they offered $1,000, $1,000. then
$4,000, and at last they offered $780,

getting so near my figure thought I'd
better leave"
