Care should De taken in opening the oven if a gas flume is| used, for a sudden draught from a win- dow or door may ignite the bag.

These bags may be purchased of any merchant, or he will be glad tol keep them as they are becoming more and more popular as they are known. Directions for using come in each package. Care should be taken in placing meat with sharp skewers or bones that will pierce the bag. The bag should not be moved when put into the oven, as the heat makes It very tender. When ready to take | out, place a pan under it and draw out gently on to it or the platter on which It is to be served. Open the bag and remove the contents. One mistake Ung the filed bag into a pan. It should be placed directly on the iron rack, 8o that the heat has free access to every part of it. If the bag bursts, slide it into another, keeping a pan on the bottom of the oven to catch all | the gravy that escapes.

The shark’s jaws are pried open to | the fullest extent; a stout eight-foot | spar of tough timber, four inches by four in cross-measurement, is fixed transversely far back in the angle of the jaw, the ends projecting on either side. A strong-repe-leading from the ends of the spar is drawn close and | | tightened with a clove-hitch round | the fish’s tail, behind the wide tafl- flukes. It is thus the sailor harnesses | his enemy. The clamp of the cruel jaws drives the two-inch long teeth deep into the tough spar. The tight line holds it in place, and, struggle as he may, the shark fails to move the spar an inch from its position. As a finishing touch, the sailor drew his knife-blade across the shark’s eyeballs and let him go. Bitted and bridled, blinded, with Jjaws wide-gaping, he swam through a limitless sea in never-ending fatuous circles. The queer :furnishings he bore scared away others of his kind. Lonely and silent he passed like Cain among the fishes till starvation and sheer misery ended his existence. Cruel? Of course it was. But sure- 1y, like the venomous snake, the shark has long put himself beyond the pale ad can every one expected, of course, that| of human ‘mercy. * SoftTiedrted as he usually is, the sailor-man has a long memory. The shark has followed for ‘weeks in the shadow of his ship, and has watched each man ‘of the crew ’wlth greedy malevolent eye. There |18 a heavy debt against all the shark tribe for many a lost mariner, and, Wwhen the chance comes to gettle old scores, the saflor pays it to 'the full.
