POINTERS ON COOKING FISH
smeIts Need Especial Preparation to Get the Best ResuIts-Glvina
 Proper Taste to "SoIe."

One of the most satisfactory wayl to make smelts both tasty and attrac- tive is to split the fish up the back, take out the bone, remove the eyes or else cut off the heads, and then form each fish into a ring, fastening the head and tail together with tooth pick. Dip the fish into milk and then into fresh bread crumbs and fry in deep fat. Remove the toothpicks be- fore serving and arrange the fish around a mound of potato.
 Broiled smelts, with maitre d'hotel sauce seasoned with little nutmeg. as well as the usual lemon juice and parsley, are delicious. Prepare the fish as for frying-they should be of good size-dip each into melted but ter, then roll in bread crumbs, ar range on a fine wire broiler and cook over the fire, first one side and then the other.
 If fillets of founders, commonly known as "sole," are left to lie in salt, parsley, thyme, a sliced onion and lemon juice for half an hour before frying they will take on a flavor much as the French chef gives them They are best fried in deep fat.

TRADES OF LITTLE ANIMALS
5ees Are ceometricIans, While Mole To MeteoroIogIst sr@ Many Birds
 Are Mus !.

Bees are geometricians. The cells are constructed so that with the least quantity of material they have the largest spaces and least possible loss of interstice.
 The mole Is meteoroligist. Eels are electricians. The nautilus is a navigator; he raises and lowers his sails-casts and weighs anchor, and performs other nautical acts.
 Whole tribes of birds are musicians.
 The beaver is an architect, builder and wood cutter; he cuts down trees and erects houses and dams.
 The marmot is a civil engineer; he not only builds houses, but constructs aqueducts and drains to keep them dry.
 The white ants maintain a regular army of soldiers. Wasps are paper manufacturers. Caterpillars are silk Bpinners. The squirrel is ferryman: with a chip or a piece of bark for a boat and his tail for a sail he crosses the stream. Dogs. wolves, jackaIs and many others are hunters. The monkey is a rope dancer. The black bear and the heron are fishermen, and he busy ants are regular day laborsrs.

poa,s nstuntr Almost Fatal.

The state water analyst in Kansas City has a curious dog-a brindle bull who ncks stamps. Any morning una til very recently he was to be seen accompanying his master to his labor atory. At the laboratory he made his nest in an unused locker. But the dog wasn't there merely for looks. He had specific object in life. When bottles were to be labeled he would emerge from his hole at the snap of his masters fingers, obediently stick out his tongue and neatly and cleverly lick the label extended to him. But the combination of glucose and cows hoofs on the label is not the best diet for bulldogs. The glue must have come of and stuck in his throat, foI he now lies on couch of old coats with a goitre on his neck, swathed in bandages of cotton and cold cream.

SECRET OF coLoRED FLOWER
Green Carnations and Pink Lilies Made So by Immersing Stems In
 AnlIine Solutions.

At a recent flower show spectators were astonished at the sight of odd colored fowers-green carnations. pink lilies of the valley, deep scarlet narcissi and other flowers just as re- markable The coloring was beauti- fully delicate and soft, and for time every one supposed that some clever gardener would make his fortune from the discovery of these new and mar Felous varieties of flowers. As a mat ter of fact, the coloring of the flowers was so simply done that nearly any clever boy or girl could do 1t with sue cess. The whole secret lies in inn mersing the stems of the fresh cut flowers in various kinds of aniline so- lutions.
 Aniline scarlet dissolved in water to about the transparency of claret has a very rapid action on flowers, color ing them pink and scarlet. Indigo carmins produces beautiful blue tints. The two combined give various shades of purple, with curious mottled effects. some parts of the flowers becoming pink and other parts blue and purple. Greens are produced by using the blue dye with yellow. Lily of the valley flowers became beautifully tinged with pink or blue in six hours; narcissi are changed from pure white to deep scar let in 12 hours, and delicate shades of pink are imparted to them in a very short time. Yellow daffodils are beau tifully striped with dark scarlet in 12 hours.
 Moreover 1t is extremely interesting to watch the color creep into the pure white of the flower petals one by one, until they become rich blue or pink 1r scarlet.

He wasn't a liar, at least he wasn't a confirmed liar. found him on one of the benches in Union Square, and we immediately became friends. On spring days the seats near Broadway and Fourteenth street are veritable treasure grounds, and the astute searcher after human bric-a-brac can pick up anything from a Polish count to South Sea buccaneer with little effort.
 You have never heard of Zirg- stauk's Hair Grower?" he remarked quietly. NO of course you have not. I am the inventor, Dr. Ulysses G. Zirg- stauk. No, I never marketed 1t. This country is not kind to the inventor, but It is a grand spot for the imitator of the inventor. If put Zirgstauk's Hair Grower on the market I'd waste all my time serving injunctions, while eE- cry unprincipled idea pirate between Duluth and Galveston would be getting rich by selling my stuff."
 'But the patent laws?" inquired.
 Zirgstauk sniffed haughtily at wan dering puff of cool air that came up from the North river and soothed his nerves by bringing a worn boot heel and match into violent collision.
 They're all right" he murmured. "All right for the gentlemen I men honed and the persons you hire to get the patent. The inventor gets be- tween the two and he gets hurt. Yes, sir, I've taken out 126 patents in the United States, and my feelings have been battered into state of shivering and I'm a peripatetic bankrupt standing on my pride and two injured shoes"

ways and I was satisfied. Then I sat down to commune with myself. Ulysses G. said l, If you market that stun you'll be hanging round the trilbies of justice asking for a square deal, while every woman in the five continents is growing a six-foot thatch with compound that has been sup piled to her by some scoundrel that has stolen your prescription That Is what I said, sir. had 126 object les sons up to that time, and the rem nants of my charity wouldn't bring three cents in an auction room. That's when I got the idea. It came to me one night, and next morning was on my way to Frisco en route for the South Seas"
 looked surprised, and Zirgstauk smiled. "Why the South Seas?" I questioned.
 'T intended to grow hair and sell 1t to them instead of selling them the preparation" he snapped. DO you understand? I was out to circumvent those thieves who prey on unfortu- mates like me who spend our time cor railing every little idea that blows our way Hire niggers down in the isl ands to grow you six foot fieeces with the help of your tonic,' were the exact words of the dream, and then cart the wigs home and sell them to every short-haired female in the United States
 -Four weeks afterward was at Auckland, New Zealand, and from there I got passage down to Puroroa, one of the outliers of the Gilbert group. was far away from Broadway on that little spot, and after I mixed a few gallons of the tonic got busy. rubbed the heads of a few score of those niggers, after making an agree ment with them regarding the crop that would result, and then wandered round and made calculations concern ing the value of few hundred six-foot wigs delivered in Broadway or Picca- dilly."
 Zirkstauk paused and watched a man swinging in space above a new building. The thin wire support was hardly discernible.
 "That fellow up there is in no dan ger" he murmured We might think he is, but the chances of one of those trOss falling on our heads is far great

With the RothschIIds.

What chiefly struck one at th> funeral of the late Baron Gustave de Rothschild was the great multiplicity of relatives descended from his father the first Baron James, the shrewdest and most funnily humorous member of the Paris branch of the Rothschildsl that he founded, says writer in Lon. don Truth. Among these descendanti were a son, grandsons and great and eat-great-grandsons Rothschilds, Lamberts, Leonios, Ephrussis, Sternsi Sassoons, Bubbays. They represented not only the principle of blood rela- tionsbip, but the finance of Paris. Brussels, Genoa, Milan, Odessa, Bom- bay and Calcutta Among the numer- ous multi-millionaires descended from the first Baron James there was one who devoted himself to medical sci- ence, dramatic literature and the col. lecting of autographs of great writer's Baron Henri, only son of the second Baron James.

In con sequence a fuII-sized goat was intro ducsd. After the goat had tried an intellectual 'butt" the python caught him by the muzzle, and in one moment had enveloped him in his coils, killing him instantly. The python then pro ceeded to swallow him whole, which occupied, in two efforts, about a guar ter of an hour. When we saw the python few hours after his orgy there was a sort of leery smile on his face and a bulge in his middle which must have measured over four feet round The animals are the property of Dr. Herzej, who is taking them home to Europe.
