Garnishing From the Garden.

Some housewives have such a happy
faculty of trimming even the simplest
dish with leaves or flowers, while it
would never in the world occur to other
housewives to go to the trouble to add
this little esthetic touch that surely
makes the meal more attractive.
Certainly the garnishes need not al

ciaily attractive, and if you have cher

member that these leaves add to the ap-
pearance of many sorts OF dessert. A
mould of plain ice cream looms much
more tempting if it has wreath Of
cherry leaves about it. Peach ice cream
is doubly attractive encircled with peach
leaves. Any sort OF fruit looks attrac-
tive with it's own foliage placed beneath
it in the fruit dish Grape leaves are
especially attractive, either with fresh
cranes or with desserts made with grape

Often flowers can be used to adj

During the iris season one clever house
wife served a jelly dessert with an iris
blossom on each dessert plate beneath
the glass cup containing the jelly and in
each cup of jelly she stuck one or two
petals Of the iris, that had first been

salad Some persons even like the
flavor of the leaves and blossoms.

Household Expert Tells
of Ways to Prevent
Discomfort While on
the Summer Vacation.
Caring for Pets in
Summer.

There is an improved method of
travelling with the baby, which the
writer saw for the first time last sum-
mer on the Atlantic City Boardwalk
The father and mother were first seen
on the way to the bathing beach, carry
ing their baby in wire net hand grip,
painted white and reinforced with metal
trimmings. 1t was supplied with lit
tie mattress and pillow and shaded at
the top and back with white oilcloth to
protect the baby's eyes from the sun.
OF course. Daddy carried the grip
crib as steady as possible, but it stands
to reason that baby would receive a
slight rocking motion once in a while
during a brisk walk. but what of that
1t was just like being rocked in a
cradle or rocking chair.
The parents of this baby claim
many advantages for their little grip
crib. With it they are not dependent
on good roads" When they want to
go in bathing. they take the baby with
them and leave him on the beach in the
grip-crib, and he sleeps while they take

and happy throughout the summer in
this, and they will need less attep-
ton than if kept in the house. A
large screen over the tank will pre-
vent injury to them. If they are
kept in the house in a bowl give them
a salt bath about every two weeks
Sick fish have often become strong
and healthy after a few salt baths.
Do it in this way: Put a teaspoonful
of salt in a quart of clear water and
place the fish in it for fifteen min
utes-no longer.
When changing the water in the
aquarium a small wire strainer Will
be a great convenience. Pour all the
water from the goldfish gowl. together
with the fish, into basin. Rinse the
bowl. dry it. fill it with fresh water
and with the wire strainer pick up
the goldfish and drop them back into

in a cool place and not exposed to
the direct rays of the sun. Feed the
fish every other moring. allowing six

How Peter Rabbit Was
HumbIed.
II there is one thing you do best.
Do it better than the rest.

-Nimbleheels.
If Peter Rabbit had stopped to
think. or if he hadn't been provoked
because Nimbleheels the Jumping
Mouse had taken the attention of
the other little people away from
himself, he wouldn't have made that
foolish remark about being able to
make longers jump than the one
Nimbleheels had just made. No
sooner were the words out of Peters
mouth than Chatterer the Red SPUR
rel. who delights in making trouble
for others, began to shout, "Boaster.
Boaster! Let's see you jump further
than Nimbleheels, Well have
jumping match between Peter Rab-
bit and Nimbleheels."
"Hurrah, A jumping match!
shouted all the others.
Il don't feel like jumping" replied
Peter GROSSLY. Besides, it wouldn't
be fair for me to jump against one so
much smaller"
You're afraid. You don't dare
jump against Nimbleheels." tainted
Chatterer the Red Squirrel in the
most provoking way.
I'm not afraid, but it wouldn't be
fair" retorted Peter.
IF Nimblehecls is willing you
ought to be-" asserted Happy Jack.
Are you afraid to jump against
Peter?" he added. turning to Nimble-
heels.
Nimbleheels shook his head. No"
said he, I'm not afraid. Peter
needn't mind because l am SO little"
That settled it. There was nothing
for Peter to do but agree to jump.
How he did wish he had held his
tongue. But he was in for it now and
the only thing for him to do was to
jump his very best. If he refused to
jump he would never hear the end
of it.
1t was agreed that Peter should
jump first. Now Peter is a very good
| jumper, for his hind legs are long
and meant for jumping. He went
! back a little way. ran as fast as he
could, and when he reached certain
| spot agreed upon he jumped with all
his might. 1t was a good jump. 1t
| was the best jump Peter ever had
made in all his life and Peter knew it.
The instant he landed he turned to
| see just how far he had jumped. AS
! he did SO he caught a glimpse of
something passing over his head and
a second later there was little thud
among the dead leaves three feet be-
yond him. Peter whirled around to

at him. 1t didn't seem possible, but

GIVEN PRIVILEGE IN WAR
Channel Islanders for Centuries Were Not Forced to Take Part in
 Britain's Conflicts.

For over two centuries the Channel islands were allowed to remain neu- tral in any war that England might undertake. This singular privilege was granted to them by Edward " and was not revoked till the reign of Will liam and Mary. It was granted as a reward for the loyalty of the island CTS, whose commerce with the neigh boring coasts of Brittany and Nor mandy was constantly being inter- rupted by the numerous wars. Even the pope joined i'll enforcing the right, and by bull dated 14S3 Sextus " hreatened to exeommunicate any one who violated the order. On the whole, tt was falrly rigidly observed, and when 6 Guernsey vessel was taken in the channel by privateer of Morlaix, the islanders with their boat were re- leased, but few Englishmen on board, with their merchandise, were captured. The privilege does not seem to have been of any great com mercial value, for when it was with drawn the islanders made more money than before by fitting their yes sels out as privateers.
