ALARM FOR THE JEWEL BOX
Pendulum, Hanging Perpendicular,
Closes Electric Circuit, Giving
Warning to Owner.

4 jewel box provided with an cleo
trio alarm has recently been patented
and has already been placed on the
market in Paris. In the bottom OF
the box Is dry battery, magnet,
ard system Of levers. the whole
forming a device not unlike tele-
graph instrument in appearance. In
the center of the bottom OF the box Is
small opening in which a pendulum
is suspended. As long as the box is
stationary this pendulum hangs per
rcndicular. and does not close the cleo
trio circuit, but the slightest movt-
mont OF the box causes II TO close the
circuit and sound the alarm. Once the
pendulum drops down the alarm can.
not be silenced except by opening the
lid Of the box and shifting lever.

Dancer In Watercress.

The tempting punches of fresh greer
watercress that are now found in mar.
ket are never more welcome than al
this season, but great care should be
taken to wash them thoroughly; the
brook from which they came may have
been infested with typhoid germs
says a writer. Experts tell us that
much typhoid fever comes from vege.
tables that have been improperly fer.
tilted or from plants watered by pol.
luted streams. Wherever possible
vegetables should be boiled. but in the
case OF lettuce or watercress this is
usually impossible. The only thing one
car do If one does not want TO give
up eating them is to wash them thor.
oughly in several waters. One can
even make the first water a coapy one
without leaving any disagreeable taste.

FISH FOR The TABLE.
Ire PROPER SELECTION, COOK
ING AND SERVING.
Almost lnnumerabie Are the Ways In
Which They May Be Prepared
Either BrolIed or Pianked
They Are Delicious.

In 1851 Miss Beecher wrote: "Ih
selecting fish take those that are
firm and thick. having sun fms. thick
scales. the gills bright red and the
eyes prominent and full. When fish
are long out OF water they grow soft,
and fms bend easily, the scales are
dull and soft, the gills grow dark and
the eyes sink and shrink away. They
should be dressed as soon as caught,
sprinkled with salt and cooked the
same day"
At Saturdays remarkable market
was heard: Fish at Ave cents q

Ing without any disguise, but how do
you cook fish,"
Well, they can be fried, broiled,
baked with stufing, crimped, faxed
and In balls, and soufiles and creamed
and an occasional chowder.
One thing the cookery books direct
you to do Is, ITO put the fish into as
much or more water as will cover
them" We never drown ours, for too
much water is bad II you want to
boil the fish little more water than
will half cover Is sufficient Keep the
lid OF the saucepan we'll down and
simmer gently, 1t eats much richer
and has finer flavor than the book

away the fine firmness We prize.
And how shall / tell when II Is
done?" was the next query. When
the filet, or thick part next to the
backbone. can be easily drawn away
from the bone with a knife.
Steamed fish Is flrmer and finer
than fish baked or boiled. The max
ing OF fllets and the baking Of fish
requires more care in the cookery and
richer ingredients that Is usually
given to fish cookery in the home.

depends upon the ssrces after all.
