When serving chicken, it is often embarrassing for the head of the house to find the portion preferred by a guest. To prevent this, put the pieces on the platter as nearly as pos- sible in their original position: lay the back in the middle of the platter, the pieces of breast on top of this, a drumstickron each side with side-bone and second joint at the upper end and wings outside these. If two fowl are served at once, have a platter large‘ enough to repeat the arrangement at} the other end. Left-over chicken can be used to ’ad- vantage when combined with macar- oni, thus: Cut the chicken into small dice, and to one cupful of chicken add two cupfuls of macaroni, which has been boiled until tender,- drained and rinsed. Melt a piece of butter in a baking pan or oven-glass dish. put in the macaroni, moistened with chicken broth, slightly thickened. Cover with the minced chicken, sprinkle with grated cheese and place in the oven for a few minutes. Serve hot.

Saturn has his rings; Jupiter is covered with wonderful belts of color; Mars is scored by strange lines that may be canals. And we have a great tail reaching far away behind us into space like that of a comet. We can catch a glimpse of it sometimes on clear evenings just after sunset.

The shoal seems to know almostat once that one of their number has found a quarry, for no sooner is the victim attacked by a single pirhana than the water is thick with frenzied fish biting and tearing as though possessed with the fury of killing. The natives dread them more than the giant alligators that haunt the same waters. '. The pirhana, as it is called, does not grow much bigger than the perch or roach of our waters, but it is pro- vided with an enormous cavern of a mouth filled with long dagger-like teeth. Should an unwary traveller stop to bathe his feet in a river he will be attacked, first by a single fish, and then by a whole shoal. If he does not beat a hasty retreat he will be dragged under in a few moments by scores of finny demons and devoured. Which is the fiercest fish? The shark is terrible enough, but he is a lamb compared with a smzfll fish that haunts the rivers of South America. One form of writtng your name al- ways helps in getting mail.
