NOVEL FRUIT nIsH

A novel fruit dish that not only
keeps it's contents perfectly cold but
serves as very attractive and decor
ative centrepiece is seen in some of
the Fifth avenue shops. 1t has met
with great success during the sum-
mer months when fruit had to be we'll
chilled to make it at all appetizing.
There are two dishes, in fact, one fit
ting inside the other The outer one
is either porcelain or glass, and has a
heavy silver rim. The inner one
matches it and is smaller by at least
two inches in circumference, so that
when this one is placed inside the
other there is space large enough
all around to hold plenty of cracked
ice. When this is filled with ice the
fruit is kept at the right temperature,
yet it never comes in direct contact
with the ice itself.-New York Her

METHODS IN FRYING.

There is nothing harder to teach
than new methods Of homework. 1t
usually takes a generation to intro
duce decided change. Our mothers
served their fried food soaked in
grease, and it is quite likely that the
same fashion of frying will prevail to
some extent for some time to come.
1t is curious to see how our leading
cook books denounce such frying on
one page, and yet by mere force OF
habit countenance it on another.
} Every good housekeeper knows
theoretically that there are only two
ways of frying. One is in some deli
cate fat like butter, using only enough
to prevent the article fried from
sticking. The frying pan is moved
rapidly during this process, hence it
is called by the French saute, from
the verb sauter, to jump. During
this process the butter used is alb
sorbed, but it is used in so small
quantity that it is only enough to
dress the fried articles properly. and
not enough to make them greasy.
oysters are nice cooked in this way
I. The second method OF frying is in
deep fat, in the way doughnuts are
cooked. The greater part OF French
frying is done by this method. There
must be depth of fat enough to cover
the article put in it. and the fat must
be hot enough to form a thin crust
over the fritter the instant of it's i'm
mersion. Croquettes. Dreaded meats
and potatoes are all cooked by the
last method. Presbyterian Banner,

A TOY FLYING MACHINE.

The latest mechanical toy is, APP
propriately enough, flying machine.
The toy flying machine has for
body a slender little metallic cylin-
der about six inches long and pointed
at both ends, something in the order
of a torpedo boat. Attached to the
under side of this cylinder are two
little frames, in each of which stands
tiny figure of man.
In the after frame is carried also
within a little case coiled spring
which runs two-bladed propeller.
This flying machine is not designed
for independent fight, but to be sus-
pended by cord When you have it
thus suspended and have wound up
the spring you give the machine a
swing out and around in circle, and
it Keeps flying so long as the power
holds.
These toy flying machines don't
cost quite as much. as one Of Count
zeppelin's airships-in fact, you can
buy one of them for forty cents

HEMMING A PLEATED SKIRT.

HEMMING A PLEATED SKIRT.
The home dressmaker Is always
discouraged when it comes to hem
ming pleated skirt The pleats, for
some unknown reason, take 1t into
their heads to hang at different
lengths, so that the foot line wnen
finished is bound to be uneven. The
best way to secure an even edge is to
haste the pleats full length after the
seams have been stitched and the
bands sewed and the hooks and eyes
put on. Then turn up the hem as in
a plain gored skirt and press. After
removing the hastings, turn the hem
in the single material according to
the crease first made
A skirt turned up in this way may
easily have the braid sewn on before
the hem is stitched This does away
with all hard work and extra pinning.

SNOWFALL AFIRE

Here is pretty trick which should
be very effective at a winters evening
party. The magician presiding or
ders a pan full of snow to be brought
N from outside. When this is done
he places the pan before him on the
table in plain view of the company
and rolls up his sleeves to the elbow
after the manner OF all maglcians.
The magician now rolls the mass
into nice, big SNOWFALL Then he
asks for taper (your true magician
never uses match) and turns the
empty pan bottom upward, placing
the SNOWFALL on it. He stands a yard
or SO from the pan, and, stretching
forth his arm. applies the lighted ta-
per to the top of the SNOWFALL There
is fash OF fire which becomes a
steady fame. and there is the snow
ball atire, much to the mystincation
of the puzzled onlookers.
The secret of the trick is very sim
pie. The person who fetches you the
pan of snow must be confederate,
who contrives to slip piece Of cam
phor into the pan. You search
through the snow with your fingers
for the lump of camphor as you roll
the snowfall. The camplsor being
white looks from the audiences point
OF view like lump of snow, and the
sharpest eye win not detect you as
you slip it into the top Of the snow
ball. It should be about the size and
shape of chestnut and be pushed
into the snow with the little end up

HARVESTING THE WINDS.

The utilization of the wind for do
ing portion of mans work is as
old, figuratively, as the hills. At
least, the ancient Dutch windmill,
with its four great sweeps carries
one back as far as it is necessary to
go. Windmills were used in France
and Italy in the twelfth century for
grinding corn and in Holland in the
fifteenth century for pumping water
over the dykes into the sea.
In the United States the windmill
has had several seasons or spells of
prosperity, when it looked as though
everybody was getting a windmill
and likewise several periods of de-
preston when it seemed as though
everybody was down on and discard
ing the windmill. Americans are
apt to go to extremes. When a thing

THE LITTLE SNOW MAIDEN.

It was showing fast and Laura
was very disconsolate. She did not
seem to care about the luxury that
surrounded her.
Laura's mother came into the room
then and told her to get ready for a
drive. II am going shopping" she
said. "and I want you to come with
me. But what is the matter with
you? Are you sick?"
"Oh, no" said Laura, only don't
feel happy at all.
Well, what do you want?" said
her mother, for she would do every
thing to please Laura
But just at that minute Laura did
not hear what her mother said. for
she was intent watching little girl
who seemed to be very poor. Her
clothes were ragged and her yellow
hair fell prettily over her shoulders,
but her little hands were blue with
the cold
"Oh, mamma, do look at that poor
little girl cried Laura, who had for
gotten all about the drive. Cant
let her come in, because she is very
cold" and she ran to the door, not
waiting for her mothers consent.

and Laura heard her talking with the
child, who was sobbing. Soon Lau-
ra's mother brought the child up
stairs. She told the maid to give her
good dinner and put her in warm
bed.
The next morning the child Laura
found out did not have any relatives
living. Her parents had been buried
by an old man who knew them.

parents were eating their breakfast

WHAT THE BIRDS DO FOR US.

A French naturalist tells is that
if all the birds were suddenly to be
wiped off the earth, people could not
live here after nine years had passed
away. The bugs and slugs-which
the birds now keep from becoming too
plentiful-wolld eat up all the crops
and mankind would soon be without
food. So you see what very bad
thing it is for little boys to shoot the
useful birds with air guns and sling
shots, or for little girls to covet the
Feathers or wings or bodies of the
pretty Tying creatures for their hats.

THE BABY BANTAAlS.
My little banty Mary
Has tiny babies eight;
Their papa's name is Jerry
He stands inside the gate.
My little banty Mary
Is careful with her chicks;
She takes them in the garden,
And scratches there and picks,
But when hawk comes flying
Above the garden lot,
The banties hardly know then
If they are safe or not.
They never, never tarry,
When banty Mary calls,
But, fluffy, white and downy,
They hy like cotton balls.
And so my baby banties
Have never come to grief,
For Mary hides them safely
Beneath a cabbage leaf
And in the evening, after
The banty chicks are fed,
They all are tucked up sHugly
In Mary's feather-bed.

WHAT MAKES A BOY POPULAR


What makes boy popular? Sure
ly it is manliness, says man who
knows. During the war how many
schools and colleges followed popu-
lar boys? These young leaders were
the manly boys whose hearts could
be trusted. The boy vino respects his
mother has leadership in him. The
boy who is careful of his sister is a
knight The boy who will never vio-
late his word, and VINO will pledge
his honor to mis- own hurt and change
not, will have the condolences of his
friends. The boy who will never hurt
the feelings of anyone will enc day
find himself possessing all sympathy.
If you want to be popular boy, be
too manly and generous and unselfish
to seek to be popular.
