Ear Protection for Gunners.

The British admiralty have given at
tention to the question of ear protec-
ton during heavy gun firing, and it
has been decided to use plasticine,
with the addition Of cotton wool, but
the form of ear protection to be used
is to be left to the individual choice
be supplied to ships and gunnery
schools if specially demanded. The
addition of so to 60 grains of cotton
wool has been recommended to insure
perfect safety. 1t is pointed out that
the cost of the material is very small
and use is desirable in many cases.

An EnqIish Dinner.

Some time ago a reader asked for
a menu to be served to some English
friends, to be typical of their own
country.
This is what our neighbors across
the water would probably serve: First,
soup, clear or thick; then fish, baked
or broiled, served whole, garnished
with lemon, parsley, or a sauce; game
or a roasted fowl with celery would be
next, followed by a roast of beef, or
leg of mutton with mashed potatoes
and one other vegetable like aspara-
gus or caulifiower. The salad would
be plain green's of some kind with a
French dressing, never mayonnaise.
Sometimes the salad is served with
the roast. For dessert, delicate pud-
dings, fresh fruits, a water ice, sell
dom ice cream; in the season, mince
pie and plum pudding are favorites.
Cheese of all kinds will be in evil

Frog Farming; A New Industry,

Frog farming is destined sooner or
later to become a very important ma
tional industry. I predict that within
a very few years few farmers will
neglect to utilize their waste swampy
land for the rearing of frogs for the
market. Already the United States
use more frogs in six months, 1t is
claimed, than France does in a year.
The value of the annual catch in the
United States is fully $4,000 900 and the
gross value to the hunters is more
than $50, 900. There is not the slight
est doubt in the world that were frogs
available the value of the annual catch
would leap at once to more than a mil
lion dollars.-Technical World.

He Was Also an Expert,

A strange story comes from one
of the Balkan states, where CONNER
cial morality is still in its infancy.
At a recent banquet given at the
home Of the prime minister a distin-
guished diplomat complained to his
host that the minister of justice, next
to whom he was sitting, had taken
his watch. The prime minister said:
"Ah, he shouldn't have done that.
l will get it back for YOU" Sure
enough, towards the end of the even.
Ing the watch was returned to its
owner. And what did he say?" asked
the guest. "Sh-h! He does not know
l have got it back" said the prime
minister.

Cloth as Ornament.

Cloth trimming on tussores gives a
heralded now even for linens and mar
~quisettes. Short skirts, which usually
look best with the least possible trim
ming, are now aping tunic lines. They
take off from the height of the wearer,
however. Coat and skirt costumes are
holding first favor, and many of the
black and white cloths in checks and
stripes are used for short skirts, and
colored silks or cloths for the coats,
while a coat matching the skirt looks
extremely well with some contrasting
cloth trimmings put upon the coat, and
perhaps long panel lines upon the skirt
in front.-Vogue.

Manners.

Manners are not like clothes. It's
a bad thing to have two suits of them
one for best and n for everyday.
Wear your best manners all the time.
They suffer more by being put away
than by constant use. If you keep your
best for company they will
fit you i'll, and your visitor will suspect
they we're put or for him. Second best
clothes may be worn at home, but
not second best manners. To whom
is it worth while to be courteous if not
to the people you love best?-Homs

Queer "eondso of Matrimonx.

A young couple, natives of Ceylon,
appeared recently before a magistrate
in Ohio and asked to be married. All
the forms required by the state were
complied with, but before the law Of
fcer could perform the ceremony a
witness who came with the couple
bound the thumbs of the contracting
parties together. They explained that
in their country the act Of fastening
a man to a woman by the thumb was
a sufficient marriage ceremony.
