She Said the Wrong Thing. "I shall never forget the breakfast I gave to a pretty girl when I first knew her," the short man began. "It would make your mouth water to hear what it was-grape fruit to begin with, the most delicate of breakfast food with cream, a choice broiled chicken-it was a late breakfast-the finest of fruit, coffee. I can't remember the things I ordered for her at that breakfast, and what do you think she said when she finished? She said: "You needn't have gone to so much trouble. I don't care for anything but a couple of eggs for my breakfast and a piece of toast." "It was the wrong thing to say, I will admit," sighed his wife. "I was that girl, and I have been living ever since on a couple of eggs formy break fast and a piece of toast."f-ew YTrk Press. Sheathing a Ship. Sheathing a ship is covering the bot tom with a sheath of copper. In all seas, but particularly in those of the tropics. the hulls of ships are liable to the attack of certain worms which penetrate the hardest wood and have been known in the course of a few months to damage the hull so as to render the vessel worthless. Copper sheathing protects the ship not only against the attacks of these borers, but also against decay, and is especial ly valuable in the case of iron ships, the metal rapidly oxidizing and becom ing brittle when exposed to the- action of the sea water.

How Letters May Be Made Safe From Prying Eyes. Even with the most unromantic of us occasions sometimes arise when we should like to make some memoran dum or write some letter which cannot be read except by those we wish to do *. Here is a simple method: )Soak a sheet of note paper in cold Water and lay it perfectly flat upon a pane of glass. Place above it another sheet. d:-y t his time, and on the upper rite your message with a fairly hard icit You now destroy the dry p:t-:er nd allow all the moisture to froni the wet piece. Don't held it to the tire, but let it dry nat ll Ifyou then examine it close ly youn will see not the faintest trace of writing, but if you moisten the paper once more and hold it up to the light you can read quite plainly all you wrote. It will show up like the water mark on a postage stamp. This meth od, by the way, is sometimes adopted by convicts. They use their gruel cans instead of glass and a sharp piece of wood for a pencil. Another way is less dirty and even more effective. Lay several sheets of paper on a flat surfae and write upon the top one. Then remove the bottom sheet, on which no impression appears. If you hold this in the vapor of iodine, however, the writing will turn brown and be quite legible. The explanation is plain. The note paper contains starch, which on being pressed turns to hydramide, a substance which is acted on by iodine in the manner de scribed.-Answers. THE PURSER'S JOKE. Why Religious Services Were Not Held on That Trip. On most of the big ocean steamers a minister is usually found among the passengers, and Invariably he is called upon on Sunday to conduct religious service in the main dining saloon. Oc casionally the man of the cloth seeks the purser and asks if he may conduct a service on the Sabbath. A case of this sort happened recently on one of the Red D steamers on the run from New York to La Guayra. A young minister who three days before the steamer sailed had taken orders from a seminary, and a day later a wife I asked the purser if he might conduct religious service on the following day, which was Sunday. The purser re plied% that the dining saloon was at his disposal and that the passengers would be informed. "At what hour shall the service begin?' asked the young minister. The purser rubbed is brow a momnent and replied that he could begin at "nine bells." The inister and his bride appeared in the liing saloon at 9 o'clock in the morn ing and waited four hours for the con rgm-ation, which did not come. On the following day he listened again for "nine bells," but heard them not.-New York Tribune. Cutting Down Competition. "I saved $500 this year by moving." "Cheaper house?"

It Is a Small Bird With an Enormous Stretch of Viing. The frigate pelican, or man-of-war bird, is usually found between the tropics. Although when stripped of its feathers it ,is hardly larger than a pigeon, yet no man ceai touch at the same time. the tips c ' its extended wings. The long wing bones are ex ceedingly light, and he whole ap paratus of air cells Is extremely de veloped, so that its real weight is very trifling. It flies at great height above the water and from that eleva tion pounces down on fish, especially preferring the' poor, persecuted flying fish for its prey. Under the throat of the frigate peli can is a large pouch of a deep red color, which can be dislended with air at the pleasure of the bird. The pouch is larger and of- a more brilliant red in the male than in his consort, and the general plumage of the female is not so bright as that of the male. Although its swiftness of 'wing and general activity enable it to snatch d fish from the surface of the water or to pounce upon the flying fish before it can again seek the protection of its native element, yet It too often uses its powers in robbing other birds of their lawful prey. It is enabled in some mysterious way. to find its way home by night, even though it may be 400 or 500 miles from land. The length of the male bird is three feet and the expanse of wing eight feet. AN OLD TIME DRINK. Refreshing Switchel and the Way It Used to Be Made. They don't make It nowadays-not mostly. But they used t' make it years- ago, and how good it was! The corn lot had to be cultivated, and it was a long way from the house, and It was very hot up there on the hillside. When they loaded the cultivator and the hoes and spades on the stone boat and hitched the two horses to that dry ground vessel, they stowed away as part of the cargo a big stone jug. And when the corn lot was reached the jug was stowed away in a shady fence corner under the butternut tree and covered over with grass to keep it cool. What was in the jug? ,SwitcheL It was made of vinegar, molasses, gin ger and water. The water was drawn from the spring beside the kitchen and. was as cold as ice could have made it And the stone jug kept it cold. - The vinegar gave it a pleasant acidity. fhe ginger a little "tang"-that's what they called it up in "the country"-and the molasses just sweetened it a bit And how good it was to go over into the fence corner and take a few swallows out of that jug of switchel! Come on, let's go and get a glass of ice cream soda. It will be somewhere about the hundredth part as good as a draft of switchel out of that stone jug in the fence corner in tie corn lot up in the country.-Utica Observer. Continuous Cooking.
