GREEN SHELLED FLEAS.
fIny Parasites That Attack Nearly All
Fresh Water Fish.

Scarcely any species of fresh water
fish is free from the attacks of the nt-
tle disklike fish flea. its flattened, green
ish body being pressed close against
the skin of the fish.
The so called fish louise is neither flea
nor louise. but member of simple
group of crustaceanS, well known to
naturalists for the parasitic habit OF
most of Its members.
It is far from having reached the uld-
mate degenera ton of the chronic par
asite. however, and often forsakes its
victim to enjoy the pleasures OF the
free.
I have watched the fish fieas during
these excursions into the open water,
apparently engaged in their gambols-
tiny greenish disks dashing hither and
thither in direct course, diving sudden
ly downward or upward or turning over
and over in a series of rapid somer-
saults, which have been reckoned to
number some hundred q minute.
Should a fish flea wish to rejoin a
host it approaches until 1t is caught
up in the swirl of water which accom-
panies the movement of the fish, and,
so soon as it touches, it lays quick hold
upon the skin of its victim by pair of
peculiar sucker organs, placed on the
under surface near the mouth.-LondOn

Kitchen Kinks

Always use ice wate~ when mixing
pie crust.
All bacon is improved by having hot
water poured over it before frying.
A teaspoonful of vinegar put into
homemade candy will prevent it from
becoming sticky.
Put plenty of butter into the cake
you wish to keep for any length of
time.
Ether is good thing to use for re-
moving grease spots from clothing.
When marking linen handkerchiefs
with indelible ink, first starch the
handkerchiefs and iron them smooth.
They can then be marked clearly.
When making egg custard pies al
ways heat the milk to the boiling point
before mixing it with the eggs. The
undercrust will always be crisp.
Too many iced drinks are bad in hot
weather.
Never use very hot iron on mohair.

VIII they be wider than they have
been or will they be Simmer and is 1t
true that they are to be longer? These
are the questions that are asked about
the new coats and frocks for autumn,
tand they wait an authoritative answer
tThe new models in coats are just as
ample In width as those Of the past
season, and they are longer. And,
tsince many costumers have already
presented designs incorporating these
features, it is evident that they are
lpinning their faith to a mode not
greatly changed.
AS to coats, in some Of them, bodies
lare little closer fitting, but skirts are
ffull-very full-and longer than they
have been. But the coat cut on full
lines, with loose adjustment to the
figure, like that shown in the picture,
need not concern itself about the latest
1whim of style, because it is always
lgood style. This is one Of the first of
tthe new models, and one need not fear
that any other, however original, will
{discredit it.
