The candlefish Is about the size Of
smelt and SO fat that when dried and
lighted It throws OF q blaze Of sufti-
cient power to be used for illuminat-

Before the advent Of the white man
and his candles these fish were used
by the Alaskan natives for that pur.
pose.
The Indians claim that candlefish
possess valuable medicinal qualities.
and candlefish oil Is used by them as
universal cure for consumption. Hun
dreds of pounds Of these fish IRE buried
and left In the ground until they begin
to decompose; then they are removed
and dumped into wooden receptacle.

receptacles. A consumptive patient il

The Value Of q Shower,

Many boys are In the habit. nc
doubt. Of sprinkling the grass in their
yards with either the hose or q sprin
Killing pot in summer. and Il b likely
that they have noticed that one good
shower Of rain does the grass more
good and makes 1t look fresher and
brighter than dozen sprinklings do.
The editor wonders II they could tell
why this Is so. The reason Is that as
rain falls from great height through
the air 1t brings with 1t a good deal of
carbonic acid, Of heterogeneous particles
and Of other things that are nutritious
to grass and plants, all Of which 1t
washes out Of the atmosphere as It
falls. The shower gives the grass food
and health and strength as we'll as a
wetting.-Chicago News.

TYING THE FISHER BIRDS NICK.
fully, so as not to choke or strange
the cormorant. A cord Is first tied
loosely around Its neck, then pulled
under and about one wing and across
its breast and UP over the other wing,
then drawn around to the birds back,
where II Is tied. Thus no large fish
can slip past that cord down the cor
morant's throat. A long cord Is at
tached to the one around the birds
neck, and the fisherman holds this In
his hand while the cormOrant Is In the
water, so 1t cannot get away.

In 4 basket cage till 1t Is time for them

the long strings by which the birds are

In one hand. When the boat has reach

Ilse for Old Stockings.

Do the mothers OF small boys find,
when their sons put on rubber boots in
snow time, that they are bothered by the
snow falling inside, melting and wetting
their feet? If they do let me recommend
a remedy:
Cut the feet off pair of old stockings,
and after the boots are on, pull one OF
these stockings over each of them. The
ankle end will usually fit snugly over
the boot half way to the knee. Pin the
other end as far up ON the trousers as 1t
can be made to 60. This will effectively
keep out all snow and much water, and
| will be found to be comfortable without
being clumsy.
If your girls suffer with cold arms, put
feetless stockings on their arms, under.
meath their coat sleeves.
A pair of stockings cut open, trimmed
off into even double squares, and the
two pieces joined to make one large
square, will answer very nicely for an
every day neck muffler. II lost or mis-
laid, it will not be regarded AZ calamity
such as losing silk neckkerchief would
be.
When your short-frocked daughter
feels the need of extra warmth over her
legs, let her wear pair of footless
stockings under her others. Until you
have tried this you will not realize the
warmth this means to ones neither limbs.
Wooden stockings make good inter-
lining for the thin coat which must
be made to do duty in winter.
Stockings can be cut round and round,
into long strips, and then woven as rag
carpet, or knit on rug needles into bath
rugs. They also make hrst-
class busters for stairs or banisters, az
they take up and hold the dust so we'll.
Last, but not least, though let it be
only spoken of with bated breath, when
one has dressed boy up in his Sunday
best, all ready to 60 out visiting with
youths shoes neatly blackened and
laced-and then when he falls down at
the last moment and makes the inevita-
BILE hole in his knee, two inches of old
stocking cut of and slipped under the
"holey place" will effectively conceal the
damage just made. 1t is not as neat as
taking of the shoe and stocking and
mending the latter, and certainly circlets
of old stockings can never replace the
family mending bag, but 1t is better in
an emergency, to my way of thinking,
than to shoe blacken the skin under the
hole, which, 30 have been informed, Is
the quickest FIRST aid to the injured
stocking knees" Such scheme, while
unique, has its disadvantages.-Mc-
Calls.
