"A friend of arise, a distinguished scion of the royal family of Siam, and an ardent student of fishes, had a residence on the broad Menam Ghao Phya above Bangkok and used to entertain American and Euro pean guests with shooting-fish per formances. A veranda on which he took many of his meals was direct ly over the water, and under it Tox otes could be found almost daily, at tracted by scraps of fish, meat, chicken, and prawn which were reg ularly thrown from the table. By means of a spider or cricket dan gled on a black thread from the end of a short bamboo pole, the shoot ing fish could readily be induced to display their marksmanship, I some times saw spent watery pellets splash on the ceiling of the veranda 10 to 12 feet about the river, and wit nessed many other exhibitions which confirmed my respect for the intelli gence and skill of Toxotes. Extinguish Cigarettes. "On two occasions to my personal t knowledge, when my friend sat on Jthe veranda eating his breakfast, reading a newspaper, smoking a cig arette, and apparently neglectful of his fish wards, his attention was at tracted by well-directed shots which extinguished his cigarette. "The force with which the watery pellets may strike an object is some times most astonishing to a human observer. An insect may be knocked . high in the air or may fall on the bank beyond, a fish's reach. At short range the .drops may strike a per- son's face with a distinctly stinging sensation. On many "occasions, dur ing exhibitions in Siam; a spider at i the end of a thread hanging from , the end of a pole was knocked far up on the thread or even over the : pole. Spent shots could be heard to ' splash against the roof of a veran da over the water." ' Honolulu Prison Uses , Flogging on 2 Inmates Honolulu.

The con- ivicts first received six lashes each with a cat-o'-nine-tails made of knotted rope. If their behavior does not improve, they will be flogged periodically unto the thirty lashes are administered.:,, The .flogging1 recalled the ' 'cele brated Lucas Candido "case of J929 After twice escaping from prison,. i Candido was ordered flogged.

Clever housewives have recently given more attention to the use of cottage cheese as a sandwich spread. Formerly its popularity was confined principally to salads, but now it Is fast becoming a leader la the sandwich world, as welL The hostess who enjoys serving delicious sandwiches, the kind which are bound to bring forth exclama tions of delight from her guests, will do well to remember the possi bilities of cottage cheese as a sand wich spread, the next time she entertains. One cottage cheese sandwich which is especially delectable is that Python on Hunger Strike Is Fed Forcibly Monthly St. Louis. Although Blondie. nineteen-foot python, has been nine years in the St. Louis zoo, it con tinues to spurn food, and conse quently is removed from its inclosed "jungle scene" home once each month, and forcibly fed. Removal is accomplished by eight men. M. J. Lantz, keeper, enters the cage, and flips a towel around the snake's head. He seizes the python behind the jaws and drags it through the cage door. Attendants seize sec tions of the powerful body and trail after Lantz. wiuun uurty seconds Blondie is pinned to the floor seven attend ants on board. After feeding, the python'.: teeth are examined and occasionally a lit tle dental work is required. Armed with forceps, cotton and antiseptics, the dentist explores the reptile's upper and lower jaws for loose teeth which pythons try to shed. Population to Near Peak Washington. The slowing down of the growth m ' population, re vealed by the Bureau of the Census, lends credibility to forecasts by gov ernment sociologists that population may reach a peak of 135,000,000 per sons by 1950, become stationary for a while, and then decline. -.The decrease in population growth is . attributed chiefly .to immigration restrictions. A contributing factor has. been the declining birthrate. Births have increased slightly in the last two .years,' but the increase is regarded as a temporary interrup tion of a long time down trend. . ' The .population slightly more than doubled between 1890 and 1939 to 127,521,000 estimated as of July 1, 1935, by the Bureau of Census. Cur rently, the population numbers more than 128,000,000 persons.

When watering Is begun, lay the hose on the ground and soak the soil between the rows. Sprinkling 'requires the use' of more water and Is less thorough. To. get better and larger blos- isoms, cease watering when buds (appear. . For a continuation of bloom, pick flowers regularly. This is most Important with sweet peas and pansles, less so with petunias. VEGETABLES: Avoid the com mon mistake of Americans of let- ,tlng vegetables grow too large be fore picking. Younger vegetables I are more tender, more nourishing .and more palatable. I With a large percentage of the vegetables, get them while they are yet in the full flush of growth. iRoot crops radish, carrot, beet 'are at their best when hardly half grown. Pick peas just before pods fill out completely. Pick corn Just at the "milk" stage, that is, when the kernel, gouged with the anger nail. yields a milky juice. Use Summer son when small, just after the bloom has dropped off. Other vegetables, of course, ehoald be allowed to mature more completely before using. Toma toes should be ripened well on the vine, as should Winter squash. Cantaloupe are at their best when they need not be pulled from tbe steai, but roll off the vine at a touch. There are exceptions to many of these rules of course. Some may wish to Bse green tomatoes for special dishes or for craning, or they may wish to allow Deans to rrow.to.the dry bean stage..
