A pretty dish for dessert is made
by dissolving half a box of gelatine
in half pint of cold water, then add
half a pint of boiling water. Sweeten
to your taste, and add any flavoring
extract you prefer. Let the gelatine
''come to boil" after you have
added the sugar. Take some bana-
mas and peel them and cut them IN
slices, or lengthwise if they are not
too long; lay them into a deep fruit
dish, sprinkle sugar over them, and
after putting two or three layers in,
in this way, pour the gelatine over
them. Let this harden, and you
have a dainty dish. If you choose
you can use part oranges and part
bananas

burn Farm, near Lexington, KY, by the
late r. A. Alexander, and was sold to
W. l.. .Pritchard, of Sacramento, CAL,
weighs l,0G5 lha., and is bri ght chest
nut color. Guring his racing career he
downed r.any favorite, and won many
hatful of money for his owners, and
n,oved himself one of the greatest of
horses over distance, most of his races
being at two and four miles. He has
already sired several colts in California
that arc winners, among which are
Lizzie Dunbar, Young Bazaar, Sophia,
and another called the Bazaar Minerva
Colt, he being out of Minerva by I'M
ported bennington, the sire of Parole
and Iroquois. Lizzie Dunbar greatly
distinguished herself last year in her
two-year-old form by defeating one of
the largest fields of two.year.olds that
ever started in California, among which
were the two beautiful fillies brought
here last Spring by Mr.. Agnew, distance
56 mile; time, l0411s, the fastest time on
record for two-year-olds at the distance.
This year she has won several important
events, and has proved herself to be
crack three-year.old.
Bazaar has now been brought back
to Honolulu, and will remain here the
balance of this year, and breeders, horse
owners and stock raisers should avail
themselves of the opportunity to obtain
his services while they have the chance.
Terms, $40. Payable at time of
service.

beautiful dapple grey, l6 hands high,
and weighs 1,400 lbs: is very active,
and as fine large horse as could be
found anywhere.
Also, the fine large Imported Ken
lucky Jack Sampson. This is one
of the largest Jacks that we could find
in California, and is an animal of inn

From an illustrated paper on the
New Orleans Exposition, by Eugene
V Smalley, in the June Century, we
quote the following anecdotes of
some of the types seen at the fair {:
"The odd characters at the fair are
the terror of exhibitors. A Cincin-
natl furniture-maker discovered a
countryman from Arkansas whit
ting a handsome mahogany cabinet
to see what the wood was like
The mans knowledge of furniture
was evidently limited to articles
which could not be damaged bv a
reasonable use of the jack-knile.
Another exhibitor, who had fitted
up a room with the finest specimens
of his art, was Mortified to find an
old lady eating her lunch of fried
chicken seated in one of his satin
upholstered chairs. What's the
cheer good for if it amt to set down
in p she placidly remarked, in reply
to his earnest request that she would
go somewhere else with her victuals.
The same exhibitor one day found
that same visitor to his alcoves had
left token of approval on the pol
ished surface of a costly mantel, in
the words This is pretty good
scratched with knife.
The Turks who sell olive-wood,
beads, and other trinkets from Jer-
usalem, all made in Paris-are
picturesque additions to the perma-
nent personnel of the fair, though
their genuineness, like that of their
wares, will not always bear inspec-
ton. An amusing scene occurred
one day at one of these Oriental ba-
zaars. A tall man, with rural airs,
stopped before the stand and appear
ed to take a lively interest, not in the
goods, but in the features of one of
the salesman in scarlet fez and bag
gy trousers. He surveyed the
Oriental in front and in profile, and
then, slapping him on the shoulder
exclaimed, Hello, Jake, when did
you c9Ias from Indiana . The
Turk from Indiana acknowledged
his old acquaintance and begged,
that he would not give him away"

SMOKING AMONG THE PuRIrAys.-
The early settlers of the Plymouth
Colony were greatly addicted to
smoking, which practice suisse
quently became so common that the
weed was smoked in Church dur
ing service. This custom, it seems,
soon caused considerable annoyance,
as the exercises were greatly dis
turbed by the clicking of hints and
steel to light their pipes, and clouds
of smoke in the church. Hence, in
1863, the colony passed this law -
st is enacted that any person or
persons that shall be found smok-
Inc tobacco on the Lords day. 90
ing to or coming from meetings,
within two miles of the meeting
house, shall pay twelve pence for
every such fault" Under this law
were fined Richard Berry, Jcdediah
Lombard, Benjamin Lombard, and
James Maker for smoking tobacco
at the end Of the Yarmouth meet
ing-housc on the Lords day.-IToly

HIS DUCK-TRAP AND TERRAPIN FARM.

Several years ago DIR. Gimp fell
a victim to that nefarious heresy
called Second Adventism, which
Parson Jock thinks clears a mans
title to mansion in the insane
asylum. Not far from the back of
his kitchen he built a platform some
twenty feet high and capable of
holding his entire family. Here
they were to gather and prepare to
ascend when Gabriel didn't come,
and Mrs. Gimp dried apples on the
platform all that summer.
In the fall Gimp, thinking to help
things along, made big tin horn.
about ten feet long and four feet
across at the end. He-poiishcd the
inside of it till it Vas bright, painted
the outside green and hung it in a
big tree over the platform. Gabriel
: nt Ulow, however, and in the
spring, when the wild ducks COM
menced to fly North, Gimp rugged
up tallow dip and pointing the
big end of the horn due south, set
the lighted dip in the little end.
Then he sighted the durn thing till
it pointed straight at the kitchen
window. The streak of light that
shot out of the big end of that horn
looked like an aurora borealis it
was a roarcr and no mistake.
Presently flock of ducks came
along. Now there's been a great
deal in the papers about how fast
ducks fly. They don't fly durn
bit faster than drakes-and that's
why some people make ducks and
brakes of their money-but this
don't seem to be generally known.
First thing Gimp knew Il duck
flew into his horn and went like a
shot through the kitchen window.
The duck was flying so fast that he
didn't burn himself or put out the
light, either, but he fell inside with
Il dull thud. One hundred and
thirty-seven ducks went through
that horn, nineteen of them canvas
backs. Every time canvas-back
would go through, the horn would
give loud foot, and Gimp would
wake up and screcch, Gabriel, by
gum !" Then he'd go into the
kitchen and find twas only another
duck.
You see what made the horn blow
was the scraping of the canvass on
the ducks backs.

TIE IuNE CRICKET.


nj Sbi-is bENAbNs
Tented in the short green grass,
While the moon shone in the sky,
A cricket, close to those who pass,
Uttered the old familiar cry.
Little needed he the noise
fthe crowded city street,
But blew his flute with strident voice
Unmindful of the tramp of feet.
Hundreds briskly hurry by,
Listless to the song they pass
No policeman stops his cry,
Or orders him, keep off the grass !"
who note the steady tune
That he with such relish plays,
Wonder how this note of June
Came TO take to city ways.
Far from native haunts withdrawn,
He sings the old song at my feet
The prelude of a country lawn
Salutes the curious city street
Rustic scenes are not at hand
No ripling rivulet wanders near
Hard it is to understand
This voice in such an atmosphere
Brave little cricket pipe away
Let your blithness melt in song
'Tis the cheeriest roundelay
I shall thank you for it long.
Torn from spring-time, robbed of June,
Shut up to the city street,
Much thank you for your tune
Uttered from this strange retreat.
