A NEW CREAM FLAVOR.
1t Was Tried by a New Brunswick
Family on July 4.

1t Was Tried by a New Brunswick
Family on July 4.
There is a certain family in the
Fifth ward, New Brunswick, to every
member of which the mere mention
of ice cream is a nauseating abomin-
alton.
This family remained at home on
July 4 and invited several of their
friends to spend the afternoon with
them.
The invitations were all accepted
and quite a large gathering was pre-
sent. During the afternoon the
hostess invited her guests to repair to
the dining room, where they found
awaiting their arrival a a full of ice
cream, just arrived from a local
caterer.
The guests liked the taste of their
first plate SO well that they were all
served with more. The second course
had a very peculiar flavor. The
guests, however, kept eating and
seemed so well satisfied with the
treat, that still more was served.
Not mor than a spoonful of the
third course was eaten by any one
present. The taste was decidedly adj
verse to the palates OF the guests and
was likened to that OF several mall
odorous substances.
The hostess decided to investigate
and see what caused the peculiar
taste. She removed a few spoonfuls
OF the remaining cream, which was
saturated with an odor decidedly the
opposite of pleasant.
Her spoon then struck a hard sub
stance, which, upon Investigation,
proved to be nothing more or less
than an old shoe.
The can with it's contents was i'm
mediately taken back to the caterer,
who could not account for the appear
ance of such a useful article in such a
unique place. The sight of an ice
cream saloon or an old shoe fills those
who masticated a mixture of the two
with disgust and a sickly feeling.
1t is said that a dinner of the same
family was recently spoiled by finding
a large hair in a pie.-Fredonaan.

ALL HER FINE DRESSES BURNED.

Mrs. FaIlon Had Hard Luck with the
Fire on York Street This Morning.
Fire broke out about half-past eight
o'clock this morning in the third story Of
No. gil York street, owned by DR.. Benja-
min Edge, the first floor of which is occu-
pied by the family of Leo Mamay, and
the two upper floors by Mrs. Maria Fal-
lon, widow of the late William Fallon, a
Wall street sugar broker, with her son
Andrew and Eddie.
F~ive-year-old Herkimer Mamay, who
has the run of the house, was playing
with matches and started the fire. The
damage to the building is estimated at
not more than $500, but Mrs. Fallon's
losses will amount to nearly 81, 500. All
the bedroom furniture in the rooms was
completely destroyed, and a trunk on
tanning $500 in money and considerably
more than hat amount in dresses and
jewelry was consumed. Mrs. Fallon took
her losses quite philosophically, although
there is not a cent of insurance upon the
burned property and she is left with only
a morning wrapper of all her tine dresses.

of one of my friends. He was land is
now a naval officer. We were in Bos-
ton Harbor, and a number of officers
were chatting on the poop deck; "a
boat with a party of young ladies
pulled by; sailor-like, VIZ all turned to
look at them. My friend, Lieutenant
c., touched me Oh the ARM, and
pointing to a bright looking young
miss in the stern of the boat, said
There is the future Mrs. c."
"Who is she?" we asked.
II don't know replied the lieuten-
ant, 'but / am going to marry
her"
A few days after my time was up,
and left the navy.
A year ago l met my old friend on
Broadway. There was q lady with
him and a little girl. He introduced
the lady as his wife, and said:-"Do
you remember the girl we saw in the
boat in Boston Harbor? Well, here
she is. / found her and married her,
as | told you l would"
The lady is now living in this city,
and her husband is a captain in Uncle

Veterans of the Ballet.

A veteran ballet master remarked
interchangeable ballet dancers pro-
fession as it is, is conducive to good
health and longevity. The general
belief that the ballet girl is always off
on a good time when she is not re-
hearsing or performing is altogether q
mistaken one. She enjoys herself, no
doubt, but, as a rule, with modera-
ton. She takes supper after the per-
Torrance, sometimes in company at a
restaurant. but more commonly alone
at her home with her room mate or
some of the other girls. If they are in
lodging houses, and anything is to be
cooked, it is done by themselves on
gas stoves. She likes ale, beer and
porter, but is careful to touch them
lightly, as their tendency is to
an increase of flesh. That is
her great dread. When the
performance is over she is tired, and,
except upon special occasions, is not
long out OF her bed. She mends her
own clothing and often makes her
own shoes, all but the soles, and it is
not uncommon for her to do her own
washing. In many cases she supports
two or three people besides herself.
The ballet master could not get along
without the experienced girls, or, as
the funny newspaper fellows put it,
the Grand Mas it would set him wild
if he attempted to train a corps OF
greenhorns without their assistance.
Newcomers to the ballet will do two
things which exasperate the teacher
they will chatter and they will look at
their W feet. AS for the premier,
she is as careful in her habits as is the
opera prima donnas. She has to be or
she would soon be all broke up. She
knows what she must not eat or drink
and that she must have a certain
amount of sleep and rest, and she
takes good care not to take any risk

WHAT is happening to LondonE A
revolution must certainly be IN
progress there, when a bad landlord
can be punished for o~vercrowdlng the
dwellings of the poor.
By the way, what is the matter
with imprisoning some of the bad
Irish landlords ? The squalid tene-
ments of London are palaces COM
pared with some of the huts OF the
Irish peasantry.

Hurry Up the Parks.

No one who passes through the
streets of Jersey City in the early
evening can fail to notice how
crowded they are. The number OF
young people that this town a turn
out upon occasion is simply surprls-
ing. Bright and active youths and
maidens they are, too, and their ap-
pearance is a cheerful prophecy OF the
city's future, for most of them Will
continue, no doubt, to make it their
residence.
When the cool of evening succeeds
the heat of the day they throng the
thoroughfares to take a healthful
stroll and enjoy the air, which hasn't
been too plentiful, perhaps, l
crowded stores and factories, where
the days labor has been done. Nor
is the air which they get in their even
ing ramble any too good, either.
However well cared for a city may be,
the atmosphere will get clogged up in
its streets and among the dwellings OF
SO many people.
So here's another argument for hur-
rying up the parks. Let them be at
tractive, well kept and well lighted,
and there's no doubt, that they will be
well filled. For therein, where ma
lures means of purifying shall have a
better chance, and where the whole
some scents of trees and of flowers in
their season shall fill the breeze, will
the people gather after their days
work is done, and with the breath of
heaven get fresh strength and courage
for the day to follow.
