How to Buy Fresh sardines.

Francis Marie gives the following
instructions for purchasing a can of
sardines:
The two sides of the can should be
fiat or eoncave. II they bulge out there
is a likelihood that the can contains
gases resulting from decomposition.
No can should be bought that has
been resoldered.
The lettering on the can should be
clear and distinct.
Ii there is a choice between soldered
cans ana cans sealed by erimping. the
latter should always be preferred.
If the cans are soldered select those
that have bright solder, which is less
likely to contain lead and less likely
to be had.
After the box of sardines is taken
home the can should be opened under
water. If any bubbles of gas escape
the stuff should be destroyed. The
kind of oil used in preparing the sar-
dimes is of no great importance. The
fish used are not. however. always true
"sardines.''
In the true sardine the dersal fin is
forward of the ventral fins and there
is no wrinkled crest on the ventra!
line; the skin is smooth and blush in
the back. In the herring the dorsal is
only slightly in front of the ventral fin
and there is a wrinkled ridge behind
the latter. The skin is brownisl on
the back with delicate network.
In the sprat the dorsal fin is in a
line with the ventrals. and the crest
behind as well as in front of the VEN
trail fins.-Harper's Weekly.

A Gravity Clock.

A unique timepiece has recently been
invented by Mr. Eugene Walser a
matchmaker in Los Angeles Four
wears of work has perfected a clock
which keeps accurate time, but Is
without a spring in it's entire make
up. The motive power is gained by
the clock rolling down an incline, reg
ulated by wonderful arrangement of
weights on the inside of the clock
There is no winding to be done, but ev-
cry thirty days the clock is lifted to
the top of the incline and begins to
slide downward. the dial does not re-
yolve with the case, but remains as
an ordinary dial with the figure IL at
the top The incline Is of polished
wood, sixteen inches long. with an
eight and third per cent. grade.
There is no relation between the wood
and the clock-it is simply a matter of
properly adjusted weights which move
the hands and control the downward
motion of the timepiece.-Strand.

endeavoring to dispose of an old silk
hat on Friday she discovered in the
lining bank deposit receipts of f6O0.
Fortunately the pawnbroker knew
that the hat had belonged to a local
gentleman who had died three years
ago, and on communicating with his
representatives she was informed that
the missing securities had been the

Lewiston, Me, Oct. 27.-(speciaD. The
first championship game of the season

celon field with University of Maine
Bates lost by one point, when Capt. Dem
mis- with an injured leg and a ball sat

down and Talbot punted to Cobb. In an
exchange of punts Shepherd of Maine
was ountpunted by Talbot the Bates

in the first period, with Carleton and
Cobb doing the best work for Maine,
while Eldridge and Danahy We're the es-
pecial stars for Bates in this period.
Bates had the ball at the beginning of
the second period and at once made the
only forward pass of the game, netting
a 20-yard gain. Then on a delayed for
ward pass shepherd intercepted IT, Civ

Never Mind.

What's the. use of always fretting
AT the trials we may find
AS we journey on LIES pathway?
Travel on and never mind"
'Mong the gems in Memorys casket,
Safely stored in youth, find
This verse, with its CHEEKY motto
Travel on and never mind"
There's a mine of truth and wisdom
Hidden in that verse so short;
For of all our cares and troubles
We create the greater part.
But when we do meet with trials,
And to murmur are inclined,
We'd do we'll to heed this motto:
Travel on and never mind"
If we. wish to climb the mountain,
Step by step will take us there;
So what earthly use in fretting
Ifsit costs us toll and care?
If we stop to note our progress,
And to murmur are inclined.
We will never gain the summit,
Travel on and never mind"
LIES a pathway over mountains,
/ And through valleys dark and
drear;
Sometimes we will faint and falter
For the path is far from clear.
ThOrns and brambles iall around us
Strive to hedge our onward way.
Fretting will not help US any
Travel on" and gain the day."
One thing more and then I'll end it.
There's an armor all should wear;
Twill protect us from all dangers,
If we grid it on with care
Prayer and watchfulness compose
it,
And. wnate'er oppose, we'll find
If we wear the Christians armor,
We shall conquer, never mind"

The first Adam purposed to be the

But sin, disobedience, interfered with
this arrangement-as God had fore

Humanity needs a Deliverer-not

needs Is Life-glver, exactly what God
tells us Jesus is to be-a Father, who

The Chinese Way.

Chinese table customs are decid-
eddy different from our own. Boys
are taught cooking, and there is
scarcely a man in China who is not
competent to cook a respectable
meal. The peasant sits down to
dinner cooked by the hand of his
wife or daughter-in-law. In large
establishments the cooks are invar-
iably men. Half a dozen coolies
will squat round a bucket of steam
ing rice and from four to six small
savory dishes of stewed cabbage,
onions, scraps of fat pork, cheap
fish, etc. They fill their bowls at
discretion from the buchet. They
help themselves discreetly with
their chop-sticks from the various
relishes provided. On ordinary oc-
casions even a wealthy Chinaman
will sit down to some such simple
fare, served, indeed, on a table in
stead of on the ground, but in al
most equally simple style.
