New Yorker Discovers Fish That
Strikes at Cigar Butts and Has
Taste for Nicotine.

manager at Bartletts, has as one OF
his proteges a black bass which uses
tobacco. The fish. being an intelli-
gent one, does not smoke cigarettes.
But 1t chews.
Mr.. Flanagan got acquainted with
the habits of the bass about month
ago. The bass favorite loafing ground
is near a power-house. Always. when
Mr.. Flanagan goes to the power
house. he filings the cigar he happens
to be smoking away, SO that there
will be no danger Of fire.
He fiung his cigar into the water by
the power-house one day and the bass
made rush for it and grabbed 1t. dis.
appearing under the water. Mr..
Flanagan thought little of that at the
time. for on certain days bass will
strike at nearly anything, while on
other days the most alluring bait will
not tempt them. A day or two later
he flung another cigar butt into the
water and the same fish rose to 1t
and nabbed 1t.
After this had happened a dozen
times. Mr.. Flanagan was forced to
the conclusion that 1t was not mere
random hunger on the part of the
bass. but genuine taste for tobacco.

THE CHERRY SEASON.

Try this method of putting up doz-
en- quarts of cherries. and see how
easy 1t will be when compared to the
old way Of stewing oneself when
cooking the fruit See that the jars
are all perfect, covers and rubbers
In good condition. Sterilize the jars
by putting them into cold water and
bringing the water to the boiling
point. Fiji the Jars with the fresh, un-
cooked cherries, and when a dozen
jars are filled. pour over hot sugar
sirup as rich as one desires for sweet
ness. seal the cans and put dozen or
more into a boiler that is half full OF
boiling water. A long-handled skim
mer may be used to rest the jar on
when putting into the water. After
all are in cover to the depth Of four
inches over the cans with boiling
water; put on the cover and throw
over the boiler three or four thick
nesses of old carpet. Let them stand
twenty-four hours and remove to the
fruit closet. You will have fruit of ex-
ceptional color and flavor if these di-
rections are carefully followed.
Cherries are delicious preserved
and may be used as a relish. Spiced,
as any fruit is spiced, is another addi-
ton to the winters store.
Cherry pie is the pie par excellence,
and if care is used in fitting a paper
funnel in the opening when put to
bake not drop of the precious Juice
will be wasted
Cherry Dumpiinss.-A delicious
cherry pudding may be made with a
cup of -four and two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder and little salt sifted
together. Add enough milk to make
batter not too thin. and drop a ta-
blespoonful of it into buttered pudding
cups, then few cherries and more
batter. Put the cups into boiling
water and cook fifteen minutes. Serve
with cherry sauce or c1eam and sugar
