there had been Members Have Been Organist in Eng lish Church for More Than a Century A remarkable record has been com memorated at Toignmouth England by the presentation to Miss Linter or ganist of the narish church of St Michaol East Teignmouth of an 11- J luminated address and a purse of 130 j sovereigns subscribed by parishioners and others The post of -mist in the church has remained uninterrupt 1 edlv in the Linter family since the year 1809 when Miss Linters father aroma in William Linter became organist of the church The pet dog show at the Royal Hor ticultural hall in London drew a great crowd chiefly of women and the old familiar scenes of luxury were wit nessed in every avenue of the nearly 1000 pens But all records in this direction were surpassed by the minia ture iron bedstead with mattress sheets blanket quilt hangings and all complete in which a Pekinese spaniel reposed The smallest dog in the show was Messrs Willsons miniature black-and-tan ter rier It weighed only two pounds two ounces and was brought to the exhi bition in a mans coat pocket The lightest dog however was a York shire terrier of one pound 14 ounces with a delightfully groomed coat of silken fleece Uses Animals Make of Their Tails Horses cows and other creatures use their tails as fly flappers says a writer in Dumb Animals Cats squir rels and many more twist them around their necks for comforters The rat lias raised the use of the tail to a fine art for by its means It guides the blind and steals jelly oil and cream out of jars and bottles The macaco plays as merrily with its tail as a kitten does and the marmoset while it sleeps uses its tail as a sort of blanket The i accoon catches crabs with its tail Every one knows how the monkeys journey through pathless for ests by swinging from tree to tree while the fishes steer their way through the water by their tail fins The ant eater puts up its big bushy tail for an umbrella The vanity of the peacock is fed by the beauty ot its tail Qreat New England Willow There is an enormous willow tree on the estate of the late Thomas Groom Humphrey street Dorchester Mass Probably it is the largest wil low in the commonwealth and per haps in all New England More thar breast high from the ground or to be exact five feet its girth is 28 feet 2 inches and its tallest twig is about 70 feet from the ground It is a great shadow maker on sun ny days having a branch spread of 110 feet and its limbs all of which have been broken by years and the storms of years are greater in diam eter than many old trees Nobody knows the age of this ancient willow Seventy five years ago when Mr Groom acquired the place this huge tree was one of the neighborhood at tractions and was mentioned as the big willow Owl That Kills Sparrows A trapper in the southern part of town reports that he caught a wood chuck in one of his traps last week and that when found the animals head had been eaten hy one of the large owls that are so plentiful hereabouts this season The next day the man In making his rounds saw the owl In a tree above the trap apparently waiting for the trap to provide him with another meal The woodchuck eatlng owl is of the variety that Is said to be destroying so many English sparrows this winter Waterville correspondence Rome Sentinel R GUOD COFFEE rui SOME POINTS THAT MUST REMEMBERED been asked more

In a childish way for it is brief and comes not again POSITION LONG IN FAMILY How do you make good coffee I think many ot the Inquirers have been surprised that I have not given them a hard and fast rule at once but Instead I have said I will tell you how you cant have poor These are tin maxims i Buy good coffee Grind just belorn using Use a clean scalded coffee pot not tin Use freshly boiled water Do not allow the aroma to escape Do not extract the tannin The proportions are one rounding tablespoon of coffee to each cupful o water Pour two cupfuls ot either cold or boiling water on the coffee in coffee pot Let this boil two minutes add remainder of water remove to back of stove and steep not more than ten minutes Add tablespoon of cold wa ter and serve at once The question of using egg for set tling coffee is one over which there is much discussion Every one admits that using egg in coffee makes a clear sparkling beverage When egg is used the white should be mixed with the coffee in the coffee pot add cold ter boil two minutes and proceed as j in plain colfee j A little more coffee is required j when egg is used as the albumen coats over the particles of coffee and some of the strength as well as the flavor of the coffee is kept in When one enters a house where cof fee is being made he remarks How good the coffee smells We all like the aroma of good coffee but when this delightful odor is allowed to be expelled the coffee lacks just that much in flavor If the coffee pot spout has not a cover stuff It with paper to keep the Tannin is the principal in both tea and coffee which is harmful This is extracted by long boiling or by allowing it to stand too long on the grounds When the thrifty housekeeper wishes to save the leftover coffee it should be turned off the grounds into an earthen bowl and kept covered It is much better to learn about now much coffee will be required and to make just the amount than to have coffee left to warm over The old fashioned method was to set away the tea and coffee pot with out being emptied or washed Too often to be warmed over for the next meal adding more tea or coffee with additional water We cannot be too thankful that cooking schools and sci entific researchs have relegated such notions to the dark ages The harm fulness ot coffee depends largely upon the method of makin Chowder Cut in dice form The fact ot greatest importance in making coffee a wholesome beverage is to keep the tannin from being extracted Caroline Brown By ran L pound of salt pork Put in the bot tom of a two gallon granite kettle Cut up two pounds of fresh fish cod perch or pickerel cod preferred Place a layer over the pork then a laj er of sliced potatoes Eight medi um sized potatoes to two pounds of fish Slice four good sized
