that as being about the easiest thing.
Whether plain or hileted. the whole sur

or gas when preparing the fish.
There being a good quantity, It takes
some time to get the right heat, and It
must not be heated too quickly

GOOD TASTE.

The latest fad is to cover hatnins.

however, for, Il you possess a plain
and UnattraCtive pan and wish TO give
it the cschet Of originality, all you have
20 do is TO embroIdcr a tiny disk OF
black satin. or any shade that YOU pre-
FER with gold thread put the disk over
the head of the pin, tie It Iicht. and
the deed is done.
II YOU had a jcweled pin and the real
diamond, or whatever Il was. had dis
appeared, cover a small button in any
way you like and paste It into the empty
space left by the lost bit OF glass II
a hatpin IS too small. make a little r0-
settle Of gold tissue and run the pin

The ways OF decorating such pins are
really too numerous TO mention in de-

expense Indeed. II is not difficult.

Weight of Mans Brain.

the average man runs from one-uinth
TO One-twelfth above that OF the average
woman Naturally advoca tes Of the su-
perioTiJy OF the male over the female
seize upon this as a foundation for their
assertion
But many scientists Of the UreseDt
day contend that neither the weight OF
the brain nor the depth and MULTIPLICITY
Of the convolutiOns can be accepted as
safe criterion Of qU-lity. In defense
Of their doubts they point 10 the fact
that the brains Of not a few Of the

eminent chemist Liebig was found 10 DO
under the average in weight So far
as the cOnVOlutiOns are concerned. II
need only be said that the brain of the

Artificial Language.

Frenchman-Esperant is simply an
artificial language. I was invented by
DR.. L. L. Zamenhof, a learned Russian,
who lives in Warsaw, Poland The OBJ
ject of the language is solely TO furnish
an international auxiliary tongue. The
first book giving the basic principles
of Esperanto was published in 1887
The words of the language are mostly
in Latin, but to a limited extent also
they are of AnglO-German origin The
vocabulary consists Of about $500 root
words.
According TO many Of those who have
taken up the study Of Esperanto, it is
anything but easy of mastery. On the
contrary, il is said, the tongue presents
so many difficulties that it gives little
promise of coming into universal use.
The New York society recently voted to
abandon Esperanto and take Up the
study of "Elo." another invention along
similar Zines.
