PINEAPPLE AND MILK.

The up-to-date housewife has long
since learned the value of the vari-
ous rennet preparations now on the
market under the various trade names
of 'Junket, Rennen," etc, bv
which sweet milk may be curded TO
form a palatable dessert with a mini
mum of trouble and expense.
One of the most delicious and
dainty dishes may be prepared for an
emergency as follows: Prepare the
milk pudding with the iunket in the
ordinary way and pour it into in
dsvidual dishes in which it will be
served. When il has "set,'' place it
in the ice chest until time to serve.
In the meantime open can of good
sliced pineapple and when about to
send to the table pour over the prep
aration a portion of the juice and
place a divided slice Of the fruit with
each portion. The result is a dessert
that is most delicious and will appeal
to the most fastidious taste. Pine
apple and sweet milk almost always
form a good combination. a digestive
principle in the fruit acting on the
milk in a most pleasing manner.

panv, returned from Fort Ross cove,
where the Pomona lies in seven fathoms
Of water, and told yesterday of the
grim submarine battle between Lund
and the devil fish.
According to Wetmore, Lund was
working in the hold of the Pomona
when he was suddenly seized by the ten
taeles of the devil fish. He first felt the
grip of 5entaele upon his leg, then a
moment later another of the powerful
arms was thrust from the shadowy
depths of the hold, wheresthe Octupus
was laying in wait, and eneircled the
diver 5 thigh. At first Lund did not
know that he was being attacked A
short time later. however, he saw one
of the devil fish s tentacles shoot out
of the blaekness and felt it grip about
his waist. He awoke to his danger.
Grasping the short heavy knife that all
divers carry for such emergencies he
began to slash wildly at the thick,
tough tentacles that were already begin
ming to exert terrible grip upon his
legs and thigh.
With the plunging steel in one hand
1he diver pulled frantieally at his sig
nal line with the other for the men
on the surface to answer the call; the
heavy rope tautened, and Lund, exert
ing all his strength, began to break
away from the awful embrace.
Before he could do so another tenta-

the frantic victim threw himself di.
reetly at the ugly head, and raising the
knife plunged it into the spongy mass
at the only vital spot, an instant be-
fore the dreaded beak of the sea terror
could be brought into position to de-
liver the death blow on the body of the
diver. The monster, vitally wounded,
went into its death throes. The long
heavy arms, with their rows of power
ful suckers lining the under side con-
tracted around the divers body until
he could hardly breathe. At last the
their efforts and a little later Lund was
able, with the aid of his knife, to ex-
tricate himself from the all but fatal
embrace. He was so weak from the
battle he was hardly able to signal to
he brought to the surface. After he
had reached the top he was so exhaust
ed that he was taken on board the
schooner Gualala, which is anchored
off the wreck, where restoratives were
applied.
When Wetmore left the scene of the
wreck the other divers had brought M
two of the tentacles that Lund had
hacked off. In the middle and at that
point they measured over four inches
through. The carcass was not brought
up when Wetmore was compelled to
leave, but the diver reported that the
head of the sea terror was of unusual
size. The devil fish will probably be
brought to San Francisco for exhibit

The following, taken from San Fran
cisco paper. is the account of terrible
fight which Martin Lund, who is now
here to act as diver for the Hawaiian
Dredging Company, had with a huge
Oetupus while working in the hold Of
the sunken steamer Pomona last Sep
tember:
SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 27.-Down in
the hold of the wrecked steamer Po-
mona, with only a faint green light
iltering from the sunshine and air
which was separated from him by 80
feet Of water, Martin Lund, a diver
working for the Coast wreeking com
pany, fought for his life against giant
devil fish and won by the faintest of
margins.

eneireled his neck. The monster was
firmly anchored with four tentacles to
its position, while the other four arms
held a tight grip on the desperate diver.
The efforts of the helpers were of no
avail and Lund was compelled to signal
to them to cease, as there was danger
of his headpieee being pulled off. Then,
with the heavy Shiny arms of the sea
scourage slowly crushing him, the all
but helpless man began a desperate
battle for his life By the greatest
effort he kept his left arm and air hose
free from the fearful grip and piled
the keen edge of the knife to the rub
berlike hide. He severed the tentacle
that was around his thighs and had
started in on the one encircling his
leg when the ugly head of the monster
was thrust from the shadow into the
greenish light. Knowing that the

A CHILlREN'S MASS Sixty five Hundred Boys and Girls Fill St. Patrick's
 Cathedral.
A GREAT TREBLE CHORUS
Irish Cardinal Smiled Upon the Scene, and the Congregation Returned
 the Smile.

New York, April 29.-Thousands of fresh child voices--6,500 to be exact raised in antiphonal chorus, filled the great St. Patrick's cathedral with harmony this morning, in the solemn high mass for children, which mark ed the fourth day of the celebration of the Roman Catholic Centenary.
 In nave and transept, in chancel and sanctuary, one saw nothinE---if a handful of preates and priests and sisters be oXcented--hut little boys and girls. They were everywhere. They filled all the pews and many alsles hundreds sat on the floor at the foot of the sanctuary rail- and they flowed around and beyond chan eel and sanctuaW--there were more than sixtv-fve hundred nf them

 As the prelates entered the congre- gatlon resembled great domain of nodding flowers. And small wonder that tho children, despite the gentle admonitions of the attendant sisters leaned forward and half arose in their seats, and nudged one another ex" citedly, almost forgetting where they were. But even the sisters knew that it was not every day that their charges saw a cardinal on his throne. and mtred bishops with robes of pure gold, bearing aloft their croziers, marching with ineffable dignity, They could afford to be indulgent.

 When the good, scarlet robbed cardi- nal Logue of Ireland, marched to his throne, a murmur. like the breath of a summer wind, swept through the cathedral; the children, as with one impulse, leaned forward to view this great prince of the church, q man so wonderful, so powerful, as to defy even childish imagination.
 But he was not too proud 10 pause, as he entered the sanctuary, and to turn and smile upon such a scene as few cardinals, 1t may be, have ever witnessed And the congregation arose and returned the smile, while the or gan and a choir of fifty boys broke in the Kyrie Eleison.
 Every child accepted that smile as a personal blessing, and the respon- sive measures to the chant swellcd and swelled from every little throat until the walls of the cathedral seem ed to bend in sympathy,
 As the invocation ended, the intro- ductory strains of the processional anthem, "2lessed is the Faith" sound- ed from the organ, and a mighty mur- mur took up the verse. As they sang, the procession of the mass cclcbrants entered the main aisle.
