Thebes, in Hungary.

AS the traveller descends the Danube
toward Hungary, the banks became more
rugged and picturesque. The steep hills,
blushing with vineyards and p~lots'of wa.
w grain, are broken by ravines, opening
here and there beautiful vistas of distant
fields and villages. There also are for
ests, and cities, and battle fields while
the crumbling castles of old Romanesoua
towns lend a powerful charm to what.
without them, would be stately and beau,
tiful. On the confines of Hungary the
scene grows in interest every moment
What especially arrests the attention is
an immense rock rising from the bosom
of the great river, and crowned at its
summit with the ruins OF an ancient cha.
teau. This is Thebes, situated at a point
where the river is hemmed in between
two mountain chains, and overlook
ing the noble Danube, as it sweeps males
tically into Hungary, just as the Iron
Gate, between the Carpathlans and the
balkans, guards its exit from the great
plains of central Europe.
I'm 1909, the French, under Napoleon,
took possession of Thebes, and left it a
solitary pile of ruins. The castle is said
to have been built in honor Of o goddess
named Dewina, but in the language OF
the country is called 1.-THE Virgins Tow

The Old Cellar Door.

How sweet to remember the pleasures gone by,
The time of our boyhood and glee;
What bosom but swells with a half-ehoking sigh
When in fancy our old haunts We see?
But sweetest and dearest Of all to the heart,
When might throws her shadows before"
Are those days with juvenile art,
Sliding down on the Old Cellar Door
How brightly it shone in the gay Summer sun,
How sweetly it smiled at our side;
And the nails seemed to laugh and encourage tn
As over their smooth heads we'd glide. fur
They, too, oft deceived us. and stayed our career
Oft our trowsers malieiousiy tore;
Turned our joy to distress, and our smile to a tear
Those nails in the Old Cellar Door.
What is life, but a door, leading on to the grave,
Ger which we unthinkiDgly ride?
The nails are its troubles and trials-the pave
The place where these troubles subside.
The sections the dutchman who drove us away,
And often Indignantly swore;
And menaced the "fel'ers" that gathered to play
And slide on his Old Cellar Door.

Ice-Cream.

Here comes our friend, who is always
thinking Of his stomach, with the inquiry,
Is ~ice-cream healthy ? Just look at the
ingredients--are any of them unhealthy ?
Remember, we don't put it on the list as
an article of diet, but as a luxury. Our
opinion is, it is not injurious, and can of
ten be used with decided benefit. How
much is a dose? Half a pint usually sat
isles US. Many eat a pint with a relish,
and we know some who like to sit near
the dish, and help themselves, without
stopping to measure it.
We should advise, when it is eaten at
meal times, that it should be taken before,
rather than after, the regular meal, So,
indeed, we should all kinds of pastry,
universal custom to the contrary, not.
withstanding.
We give the following receipts from a
little book accompanying Torry's free
zers
Two quarts Of good rich milk four
eggs; three quarters pound of white
sugar; six teaspoons Of Bermuda arrow
root. Rub the arrow root smooth in a
little cold milk; beat the eggs and sugar
together; bring the milk to the boiling
point; then stir in the arrow root; remove
it from the fire, and Immediately add the
eggs and sugar, stirring briskly, to keep
the eggs from cooking; then set aside to
cool. If favored with extracts, let it be
done just before putting it in the freezer.
If the vanilla bean is used, it must be
boiled in the milk.
This will do for the country where
cream is to be had:
Boil two quarts of pure cream, being
careful not to scorch. Add one pound
powdered white sugar; flavor to taste.
PINEAPPLE OR ORANGE CREAM.-Cut
in small pieces nice ripe pineapples or
sweet Havana oranges, into a china bowl;
cover with powdered white sugar; let
them stand several hours; draw off the
syrup, and use as a Aavoring for either oil

any other fruit can be obtained for flavor

LEMONADE ICE.-With a quart Of rich
lemonade (made very sweet) add the
whites of six fresh eggs, and freeze it
The juice Of rasberries, strawberries, or
peaches, mixed with sugar and water, and

at little expense, it is this.-Life HAS

More Wonderful than the Mann
moth Cave.

DR.. D. L. Talbot, in commencing a Sc.
ries of articles for the Fort Wayne Times
in regard to the Wyandotte Gave, makes
the following comparison between the
Wyandotte and Mammoth Caves: Wyan
dotte Cave, one of the most extensive and
remarkable in the world, is situated in
Crawford County, Indiana, about twenty.
five miles below New Albany, on Blue
River. I have called it a remarkable
cave. The Mammoth Cave of Kentucky
has hitherto been designated as the great.
est known cave in the world. It may
startle your scientific readers to hear me
assert the fact, that there is one stalag-
mite alone in the Wyandotte Cave more
massive than all the atalagmites and
stalactites in Mammoth Cave put togeth
err. This cave I have surveyed and
mapped a distance Of twenty miles in
length, and there are several avenues.
have never penetrated to their end, al.
though | have visited the cave for scien.
tifc and other purposes, over a dozen
different times, spending on one visit four
days and nights within its darksome
halls. The Mammoth Cave is distin-
guished more for its vastness than its
beauty; the Wyandotte for its great ex,
tent, its mammoth hall, its lofty ceilings.
reaching frequently to the height of 267
feet, and especially for its numerous and
beautiful natural fountains, which almost
continually meet the eye in every direc-
ton. A portion Of this cave has been
known and visited for over forty years.
This portion is about three miles in
length, and is termed the Old Cave. In
1850, a new door from within the Old
Cave was discovered, which extended
the caves united to about twelve miles in
extent. Ii 1858, a still newer discovery
of ingress was accidentally made, which
has added eight or ten miles thereto, and
disclosed a plan of formation more extern
sive and more beautiful than any hereto
fore known. This cave contains every
kind Of formation peculiar to the Nam
moth and other caves, besides some very
peculiar and unique formations found
only in Wyandotte Cave,
