WENT AWAY WITH THE BOOTY
Elderly Irish Lady Proved She Was
Quite Capable of Rising to
the Occasion.

Lord Spencer, when viceFoy Of Ire
land, used to keep open house, and all
ladies and gentlemen who had attend
ed drawing-rooms or .levees had an un-
written right to attend the. st. Pat
rick's day ball. Some very queer peo-
pie used to present themselves.
Not contented with eating and drink
ing all they could, many persons used
to make predatory raids on the tables
and carry on eatables of all sorts. On
one occasion the comptroller saw a
stout, elderly lady take a whole fowl
and stuff it with considerable deftness
into somewhat capacious silk and
embroidered bag. He at once went
up to her and, pointing with his finger
at the bag. said: g.
Madam, won't you take some ham
with that?" -
The good lady was not in the least
abashed, but replied: -
"Ah, captain, sure it's Joker you
are" and stuck to her booty.-From

Train Fish to Catch Turtles.

In the neighborhood of Havana a
most peculiar method of securing tur-
ties is pursued. They train or at
least take advantage of the instincts
of a certain species of fish called by
the Spanish reve (meaning reversed),
because its back is usually taken for
its stomach.
1t has an oval plate attached to its
head. the surface of which is travA
ersed by parallel ridges. By this plate
it can adhere to any solid body it may
choose. The boats which go in quest
of turtles each carry a tub containing
a number of these reeves.
WheE. the sleeping turtles are seen
they are approached, and as soon as
they are judged near enough a reve
is thrown into the sea. Upon perceiv-
in the turtle its instinct teaches it to
swim right toward it and fit itself firm
l. upon the creature by means of its
disk. Sooner would the reve allow
itself to be pulled to pieces than give
up its grip.
A ring, which is attached to the
tail of the fish, in which a string is
fastened. allows the fisherman to pull
in his prize. By a peculiar manipula-
ton the reye is pulled off and returned
to the tub, to beeready for use the next
time a turtle is sighted.-St Louis
GIobe-Democrat.

the college at the same price. 1t is
more important than many farmers
may believe to insist upon these rules
being observed. If the college sent
serum wherever it was asked for and
did not get the money-as it some
times has not gotten it-there would
be no serum for men who have the
money ready to pay for it.

world some astonishing discoveries.
He was the inventor of the i'm
proved Crookes tube, of the new pro-
cess for tracing the hitherto invisible
bacilli of spotted fever by staining
them with ultraviolet dyes; he had
found means of establishing the equili-

toxic ingredient of russuIa emetica,
that almost edible toadstool which to-
day forms so valuable an adjunct to
the pharmacopeia. Now that he had
turned his attention to introducing an
improved method of anesthesia she
was sure that he had really discovered
something which would make his
name remembered by grateful
posterity
During the next few days Professor
Snaith remained secluded in his lab

meals. which were placed on a tray

KEEPING HOUSE A BUSINESS
Charge That Americar Wives Pay
Too Little Attention to Smaller
Form of Economies.

American wives have yet to learn
that housekeeping is a business In
which they can earn money by saving
it. Many wives are today seeking
desperately for some occupation
each week, when in their own re-
frigerators and pantries food is going
to waste, milk is growing sour and
wasteful cooks are using eggs and
butter and sugar in prodigious guam
titles because their mistresses would
consider themselves .stingy'' to speak
a word of warning or give direct su-
pervision of the culinary department.
The French people are far ahead
