HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Delicious tea-time refreshments can
be made with minimum of time and
trouble by melting marshmallo :, pea
nut brittle, nougat or carame.s over
hot water and adding to waters. For
instance: Saline waters may be
spread with melted r.arshmallows
topped with chopped nuts, and
Drowned in the oven. Vanilla snaps
may be put together as sandwich
with peanut brittle or caramels, soft
ened to spread.
Ginger snaps make a good COM
bination with a sandwich filling Of
Boftened nougat, and many other
variations can be worked out to suit
a: taste
The children will enjoy taking over
this part Of the meal preparation and
feel that they are helping mother.
BY the way, many of the candies
which are sold in small packages
may be melted and used as sauce
for ice cream, or added to simple
foundation filing for cake. The fla
vor, the sweetening, the blending OF
ingredients, have all been attended
70 in advance, and thus save time in
the home. This hint alone should
be good for many delicious and un-
usual dessert.

Paul is lazy, but Mrs. Robson knows

Robson has written clear, reveal

enlist that these giants among fro IS
will not only climb trees during dry
weather if there are any trees to be
found in the vicinity, but will make
holes among the roots of certain
giant grasses. Spiders of large sizes,
which species form some sort of an
alliance with the matlametlo, take
up their homes in the same holes,
making strong web across the
mouth, thus offering a protection
against snakes ana other intruders.
The giant frog does not modest the
spider and the spider in no way
bothers the frog; they live peaceably
together.
The great African bull-frog is
large and handsome, greenish- brown
with variegated nlottlings Of reddish
brown. The abdomen is yellow, mot
tied with orange and the chin Is
splashed with brown. It's eyes are
very curious and really beautiful, be-
ing Of a rich chestnut hue, covered
with a proruslon OF little golden white
dots which shine with a metallic
lustre. The lower jaw is remarkable
for two large, beny, tooth-like pro-
jections in front. The matlametlo
grows to large size, having been found
from six inches across to as large as
eight inches.
The bushmen told the government
naturalist that the matlametlo will
catch fish easily and have been
known to even catch and devour
small chickens and other creatures
the size of ducklings.

Nature sometimes mixes up her
families in odd and strange ways, as
for example, in the frogs who begin
life in the water and end it among
the leafy branches of the trees. This
Is true Of the tree frogs. These lit
tie fellows seem to have no trouble
at all in clinging to the leaves and
branches of gnarled trees, living upon
insects, rather than in the water as
is the case with their relatives, the
fishes.
Tree frogs have always had a
strange fascination, and florists and
plant lovers have taken to keeping
them in fern-cases, among potted
plants, and in green houses where
their appetites make them useful in
keeping all manner of destructive in
sects under control. They are quiet
little fellows and hard to find even
: 7" u D.. .t b. o..
when in captivity and doubly so when
wild. They can climb up the most
slippery tree trunk or the side of
glass dish, sticking, there firmly and
motionless, legs drawn close to the
body, and their little stomachs fiat
tened against the glass.
But the tree frog does not entirely
forsake the watlr. While climbing
about among the leaves for insects,
worms, and similar creatures, the lit
tie fellows always hunt out shady
pool in which to mate and raise
family. These go from the egg to
tadpole stage in the water and hen
after turning into frogs again hunt
a tree to climb.
The tiny tree frogs, however, are
closely related to the great bull-frogs.
These giants may not climb trees
but they travel about the land quite
as independent of the water as
cat or a dog. In some parts OF the
world they have learned to climb up
into branches as well.
In Africa there are giant frogs
able to withstand the hardest
droughts, climbing tress, digging holes
and forming strange alliances with
spiders in order to exist. During long
dry periods they are hard to find,
but when rain comes they IL seek
the puddles, and where not one could
ha found nv the SharpeSt eyed ma
tive, fifty will appear.
The native Africans know them as
"matlametlo," and prize them for
their food. A government naturalist
reported that when cooked, they
look like chickens, and form good
meal, so large do they grow" The
matlametlo sometimes becomes pug
nacious and will snap and resist be-
ing caught.

In days now gone past and some
times even now, when we have heard
the phrase Business is business" we
have felt inclined to say emphatically,
Business is not business"
For the phrase used often to be ac-
companied with wink or a smirk
which meant that some one had got
the better of some one else by sharp
practice. by having quicker wits or a
slower conscience. Business for such
people was never business unless some
one got the worst of it.
Our conception of business being
the opposite of this, says the London
Times, we naturally felt like saying:
Business is not what some people
mean by business"
