How to Make lee Cream.

| At home it is quite possible to pro-
duce all the many varieties of ice cream
with more or less care and expense.
''The secret of making good ice cream
of any grade" says Miss Juliet Corson,
whose recipes are here given, ''lies in
the freezing. The old way of freezing
cream, which is still in use among small
confectioners, consisted of occasionally
| stirring the cream while it is freezing in
a tin can, set in a tub of ice and salt.
A more easy and expeditions method is
within the reach of the average house
keeper in these days of patent freezers.
The same principle underlies all the
best known patents, i. e., the mixing of
| the cream by wooden beater, which
revolves inside the can by the same mo-
ton that slightly changes the position
of the can in the outer tub of ice and
salt. This freezing mixture should be
composed of three parts of crushed ice
to one of coarse salt, of which care
should be taken that it does not reach
high enough around the sides of the
can to penetrate to the interior, and SO
spoil the cream; the water formed ia the
outer tub by the melting of the freezing
mixture need not be drawn off while
the cream is being frozen unless it is
likely to get into the can, because the
water is intensely cold. If it is desired
to pack the cream after it is frozen, the
water may be drawn off and enough
more ice and salt placed around the
can TO reach nearly to the top. Ice
cream packed in this way can be kept
over night, or longer. if the freezing
mixture is properly renewed When
ice cream is moulded or packed in the
moulds of fancy shapes ali the open
ings should be closed with butter, or
oiled paper fixed about the aperatures
of the mould with paste or gum traga-
canth.
''Ice creams of the most ordinary sort
are made with milk thickened with ar
rowroot or corn starch, in the proper
ton of a tablespoonful to quart, dis
solved in cold water and then boiled in
the milk, which is cooled, sweetened
and favored before it is frozen. The
sort of ice cream usually made at home
is composed of milk, with small pro-
portion of cream, with eggs and sugar
added to it; for instance, dissolve half
a pound of sugar in a quart of milk;
place it over the fire and let it heat to
boiling point; meantime beat three eggs
tocream, pour the boiling milk into them
return to the fire and stir until ii begins
to thicken; then at once remove it from
the fire; stir until it is smooth then flaw
or it, cool it, and when it is cool, freeze
it according to directions given. Froz-
en- custard is made in the same way,
only five eggs at least are added to a
quart of milk.
''French ice cream, thick and yellow,
is made by boiling a quart of cream
with long vanilla bean, and then cool
ing and straining it; then the yolks of
twelve eggs are beaten smooth with
three-quarters of a pound of sugar; the
favored cream is then mixed with the
eggs and stirred over the fire until it
begins to thicken, take it from the fire
ana stir it for five minutes; then cool it
and freeze it.

THE NAMELESS PORTRAITS.
Pictures Of the Speakers of the House OF Repres-
entatiyes.

"a curious fact has come TO light in
regard to row of portraits hanging in
the House lobby in the rear of the
Speakers chair writes a Washington
correspondent of the Pittsburg Disptach.
These portraits are of those of the var
ious Speakers of the House. 1t is GUS
tom, and has been for years. to place in
this lobby the portrait of each Speaker,
life size, most of them done in crayon.
Among these portraits was one without
a name attached, and it had been for
years something of a mystery. Nobody
knew definitely whom it represented.
A careful examination and checking of
the list of Speakers. however, recently
brought to light the fact that all the
Speakers of the House except two were
represented in the portrait gallery.
These two were Theodore Sedgwick, of
Massachusetts, who was Speaker of the
House for the Sixth Congress, and Ma
thaniel Macon, of North Carolina, who
was Speaker of the Seventh. Eighth and
Ninth Congresses. 1t thus became evil
dent that this nameless picture was
either that of Sedgwiek or Macon, and
this set the Representatives from those
States to discover which of the two it
did represent. Mr.. Rockwell, of Mass
| achusetts, was finally successful in SOL
wing the problem. Ransacking through
the Congressional Library he found a
history of Berkshire county, Mass,
written by a gentleman of the country
| clergy, Rev. David ID. Field, father of
Justice Field, of the Supreme Court,
and also of David ID. and Cyrus w.
Field. This little work, published at
Pittsfield, Mass, fifty-ive years ago,
contained a portrait of Mr. Sedgwick,
representing him as wearing the old
fashioned queue, while the portrait in
the House gave picture with the nat
ural hair, different position from that
| given in the old book. The resem-
blance, however, was quite sufficient to
convince Mr.. Rockwell and others
whose attention he called to the subject
| that the nameless picture is that of
Theodore Sedgwick, Speaker of the
Sixth House. This discovery brings to
light another, equally interesting, in re-
gard to the one Speaker the place for
whose portrait is still vacant. That
| Speaker was, as indicated above,
Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina.
The inquiries by the North Carolina
members for his portrait brought to
light the fact that he had steadily re-
fused during his life time to have a pic
ture of himself made. 1t is said indeed
that he had such peculiar notions on
this subject that he became very indig-
nant at one time on discovering that an
artist was trying to make sketch of
him as he sat in The Speakers chair,
and Immediately took measures to have
the sketch destroyed. which was done.
This, it seems, was not his only pecul-
iarity, having left explicit directions at
his death that no picture of him should
be retained, and that his grave should
be unmarked by any monument except
pile of stones, to which each person
visiting the grave might be permitted to
add a stone.

The CrinOline Coming.

The New York belle is ready to go
out of town if she has not already gone
She has taken all possible pains to make
of herself thing of beauty. This is a
season of less eccentricity in fashions
than for many year. She is at a hap
Ply medium in the transition from the
aesthetic tightness of the immediate
past to the voluminousness of drapery,
which is bound to come in the near flu
ture. | make this statement on the au-
thority of man in the business of de-
signing and constructing feminine
clothes. He says that, along in 1885
we may as well look out for a revival
of crinoline. The tendency is in that
direction, and cannot probably be
stopped. And therefore he advises us
to look well upon the fashionable girl
of the present; because we see her at
her very best. Her hair is arranged in
moderate and artistic shapes, her waist
is not distressly compressed, her hands
and feet are enclosed in n pair of big
enough gloves and shoes for tolerable
comfort, and her skirts are sufficiently
ample to satisfy the demands of pro-
priety without hiding her figure away
entirely from sight. There is nothing
grotesque in the summer styles, and
whenever such an effort is produced, it
may justly be charged to the individual
exaggeration of the wearer How con-
sequential in a mercantile way are the
changes of fashion was impressed upon
me yesterday, when | saw the sign
boards taken down from Broadway
building, revealing some lettering on
the walls that had been covered since
hoop skirts were in general use. The
name of a firm was disclosed. Fifteen
years ago it was printed in newspaper
advertisements throughout the land,
and was more familiar than that of any
patent medicine maker The concern
led in the business of artificially dis
tending the bellies of that period. Per-
haps the partners were prepared to re-
tire enriched when the demand for the
goods ended. At all events, they disap-
peared from view, aud their extensive
factories were diverted to other uses.

4 Short History OF Cholera.

In view of the appearance of cholera
in France, the following short history
of the disease will prove timely. The
origin of the dread scourage i I'M
known, but its existence is noted rs
long ago rs 400 b. G. by Hippocrates,
who traced its advent into Greece from
India, and by Galcu in A. d. 1911. Since
the wear 1856 it h-s been noticed that
the cholera breaks out in India ON the
occasion of the twelye-Ncarly pilgrim
ages to the Hindoo temples The at
trutiol of English physicians was first
specially directed to it in 1917 when it
appeared in most virulent form in
JesSore, Bengal From then until 1882
it gradually approached the European
scaboard and was thence transmitted
to the United States by emigranis, eN-
tending with greater or less havoc as
far west as Chicago and south To New
Orleans, in which city 5000 people
persisted out of a population of 55 900.
/ In lS4S it was again brought to the
United States by emigrantS in ship
which arrived at New Orleans from
Havre. This terrible foe to humanity
| is always present in one country or
another, and its present menaciug front
will no doubt stir up the health officers
IN all the cities of the United States to
take the utmost precaution against its
spread here. Personal filth il great

iuy against it man should be viewed

YOUTH AND AGE.

IL is mistake, however, to suppose
that youthful beauties for the most part
are adorned by Saratoga tinery. These
young creatures are here, enough of
them and prettily enough dressed, but
one must be blind who does not see
that portly forms predominant, or forms
from which young roundness has de-
parted. Well-to-do elderely men come
to Saratoga to spend the earnings of a
hard-workcd juveniity; they bring
wives of middle age on whom they Law
ish tinery and who delight in showing
it. Prosperous bachelors look admir-
ingly on lively widows, while parlors
and piazzas re-echo to the voices of
widowers who renew their youth. The
young people do their best to assert
themselves. The callow collegian
smiles ecstatically in answer to the sim
per of the debutante. Bat collegians
