Farming for Pleasure.

Many persons who are engaged in
farming for a livelihood or as branch
of business do not regard it as very
pleasurable occupation. In fact, they
complain of their mOnOtOnOus life and
of their lack of the means of enjoyment.
Many farmers make their plans to
spend the later years of their lives in
some town, where they can have more
to enjoy than they do on the farm.
Men who become rich in cities, how
ever, desire to retire to the country,
aud very many of them do so. A large
proportion of the very wealthy men in
this city own and manage farms. Sew
eraI of them are well versed in every
department of agriculture, fruit-grow-
growing and stock-raising. The like is
true of men of wealth in other cities in
the country. Farming is engaged
in as a pastime by many peO-
Lle in Great Britain. Indeed, COM
plants are constantly being made in
the English papers by farmers that so
much land is being secured by persons
of large means, who desire to engage in
different branches of husbandry simply
for pleasure. They purchase land at
pr ccs that those who look upon it as a
safe investment for conducting farming
operations cannot afford to pay. They

not with a view to profit, but as sources
of pleasure The Englishman of wealth
and leisure takes more pleasure at his
country seat than in his London man
sion. He takes pleasure in being a good
farmer, n skillful fruit-grower, and a
successful stOck-breeder. A large num-
Der of professional and business men in
New York and Philadelphia manage
farms as n means for recreation. They
spend money on them, not with view
of getting returns in cash, but in happi-
ness. Lawyers, ministers, merchants,
and manufacturers spend considerable
of their time in farming as source of
pleasure.
Is there any other kind of bus mess in
which men engage simply "for the fun
of the thing?'' Rich men do not en-
gage in mining, manufacturing, or trade
simply for pleasure. No one, perhaps,
ever heard of a man who had an album

running a train of cars, hammering at
an anvil, tending q saw-mill, laying

They do not think that they can obtain
any enjoyment in any of these occupa-
tons. They leave them to persons who
are obliged to engage in them for the
purpose of supporting themselves and
their families. They engage in agri-
culture, horticulture and stOck-raisinQ

About Ice Desserts.

No desserts are so tempting in the
warm weather as frozen delicacies of
all sorts, although these are not reco
mended as hygienic by those who are
conversant with the laws of human di-
gestiOn. When eaten without other
food and not too fast, ices may be per-
fectIy harmless. In France, where they
have most delicious ices and frozen
creams, there is a greater variety and
more taste in their preparation than
with us. They never mix the fruit and
cream, as we ignOrantly do. Acid
fruits should never be mixed with
cream, lest the cream should curdle, as
it must do in the nature of things.
Fruit ices should always be water ices.
Whole fru in ices is decidedly object
ionable as the fruit hardens in the
freezer and only spOils the comfort in
eating without adding anything to inn
prove the ice. Pineapple ice, straw
berry and cherry ice, as well as orange,
lemon and apricot, are made as we
make the lemon and raspberry ices in
this country, while vanilla and brandy,
and sometimes liquors. are used to fla
Yor the frozen cream. One most de-
licious ice is the cafe par fat, great
favorite in France and elsewhere where
it is known. AS this is not frozen very
hard, it is, perhaps, moro allowable
than many other frozen desserts. 1t is
so simple that it is well worth trying, if
one has freezer already in the house.
1t requires quart of rich cream and
the whites of six eggs, with half cup
of strong coffee, n cup and a half of
sugar and a tea-spoOnful of corn starch.
The cream should be whipped very
light and strong and put in sieve to
drain. The whites of the eggs also are
whipped into a stiff froth. Take the
liquid cream remaining after the whip
is removed and add the coffee and the
tea-spOOnful of corn starch to thicken it.
After it has been sufficiently boiled and
is perfectly smooth cool the mixture
| and freeze. When frozen line a melon
mold with the coffee cream, then mix
the eggs and cream and sugar and fill
the mold to the top. Pack the mold in
ice and salt, and let it stand for an
! hour or more. This quantity ought to
| fill a two-quart mold. This is very del
icate to eat with Strawberries Boston

A Little Heroine.

just between the towns of HOboken
and Weehawken, in New New Jersey,
lies the little hamlet of Union Hill. an
Old-fashiOned village, peopled mostly
by Germans, and in this village has
stood for many years great frame
building, used principally as a hotel,
and known to all the towns-people by
the name of The Old Swan"
In years gone by this place was
quite a famous resort, but it gradually
ran down until it became at length a
cheap boarding house.
Among the many inmates of the
building were Julie Brohmer little
eight-year-old girl, her mother and
three younger children. The smallest,
a little girl baby of two, was little
jules especial charge, and her mother
leave the little baby with Julie, sure
tbatno harm would come to her so long
as her faithful little sister was near.
Julie attended the public school as
regularly as her duties at home would
allow, and, unlike most little girls of
her are, when she came home she did
not care to run out in the street and
play at tag or ''hide-and-seek," but
instead staid at home and relieved her
mother of the care of her younger
brothers and sisters, and acted the part
of small housewife.
The other evening, about half past
nine, little Julie sat in q room on one OF
the lower floors patiently waiting for
her mother to come in that she might
go to bed She had Just put her little
baby sister to sleep in the back room,
and as Julie sat waiting so quietly, her
half-closed eyes and frequent yawns
told only too we'll that the ''dustman"
was on his rounds
Suddenly, as she sat there, some
bright sparks fell from the ceiling and
smouldered on the floor. Almost at the
same instant n number of the tenants
who lived upstairs ran wildly through
the hall and past the door, screaming
Fire. fret at the top of their voices.
In another moment the Games appeared
in the very room in which little Julia
sat. She heard the cries of fire
and the people rushing madly
into the street. But there was
no one to to tell her what to do, or ever
to think of her, in that moment of ex
element.

Cheap gloves arc always a bad pur-
chase, more especially for those who
wish to practice economy. A change
of fashion, like that from short to very
long gloves, throws a vast quantity

quality, but old style Thrown in with

or less "crankie" gloves that have ac-
cumulated for years. and buyers must
take their chance of what they get at
the price. Very often the imperfection
is of such a nature as not to be detected
until the glove is put on, or it may be
that one finger or thumb is cat small
er than it should be. Nothing can be
imagined more provoking than to find
the gloves you had congratulated your
self upon all right except a finger or
thumb, which, however, disqualifies
them entirely from doing duty. Good
gloves are somewhat less expensive
than formerly. though still far beyond
the price paid for gloves abroad. The
shortened sleeve, which still obtains,
has compelled the adoption of the long
glove, and these are not universal, a

What Can Children Do /?

They can feed the homeless and hun
CRY eats and dogs and give them water
to drink; they can, at least, try to pro-
tect them from the assaults of cruel
boys they can always speak word in
behalf of those creatures which cannot
speak for themselves; they can say:
''Please be kind to that poor dog;
please don't worry that homeless cat;
please don't throw stones ut the birds
or rob their nests;'' these creatures have
a right to live and be happy.
Children can fasten the blankets on
the horses when they have blown of.
They can give them a drink on hot
summer day and sponge OF their faces
when they are tired and dusty; they can
lift up the heavy collar from. the tired
neck and rub the perspiration of; they
can move the troublesome binders off
from their eyelids where they are often
found pressing down close; they can
ask drivers and coachmen to please
loosen the check-rein and let their
horses stretch out their nccks and rest
themselves. They can often speak to
their playmates of the use which the
larger animals are to man, as the horse
and COW, and the pleasure which people
derive from the smaller ones, as the cat.
dog and bird. These little creatures
are company for us and ornaments to
our homes when we feed them properly
and provide them with comfortable
places to sleep. And if, as sometimes
happens, they see an animal, insect or
reptile that must be killed, they can
plead to have them all killed quickly so
that their suffering may be short.
Animals know when they are kindly
spoken to; speak kindly to them when
they are sick or disabled and lay gen
tie hand upon them. They are con
scious of kind word or caress, though
they can not speak and tell you SO.
How quickly they start and tremble at
harsh tones; why should they not be

Perhaps q good many of the little
girl readers of Young People, if they
had been in Julia's place, would have
screamed and run out of the house as
quickly as they could. But that was
not what brave little Julia thought of
as she saw the sparks falling about her,
and the red glare of the fast approach
ing flames.
No, indeed; for she knew that in the
back room her baby sister slept uncon-
scious of any danger, and the brave lit
tie girl thought first of her duty to that
helpless infant. So, without thinking
twice, she dashed forward, and CROPPED
through the smoke and falling sparks
until she reached the baby's crib. Then,
snatcbing out the little two-year-old,
sleeping peacefully as it was in its lit
tie night dress-a pretty heavy burden,
too, for so small girl-and elasping it
tightly in her arms. she ran out of the
| room, struggling through the smoke of
the hall, until at last she reached the
open air.
She did not stop even then, but ran
on until she had reached the opposite
side of the street. There she sat down
on a convenient rock and watched the
| fire, still holding her little sister tightly
| to her breast to protect her from the
cold. And in this position, after hunt
| ing all over. and almost concluding
that Julie hal persisted in the flames,
her mamma and the neighbors found
her.
Brave little girl! Though only eight
years old, when danger threatened She
! did not have to be told what was right
| for her to do, nor did she for a moment

| rescued her baby sister.

brave little girl Julie Brohmer was, and
try to learn from her brave act a lesson
of courage and self-control.-Ha Harper S
