STRAWBERRIES IN TEMPTING WAYS.

It Is recorded of Fontanelle, writes
Mrs. E. R. Parker in the Courier-Journal,
that he attributed his longevity to the
free use of strawberries, and it is now a
well-known fact that the fruit possesses
great medicinal qualities, being valuable
remedy in viscedity and putrid dis
orders. One writer on the subject fur
nishes instances of obstinate disorders
cured by the use of the strawberry; an
other says that by eating of them freely
he kept himself free from rheumatic
affections. They are also said to be ex.
ccllent for the teeth. Possessing so
many recommendations, it will not be
difficult to induce every one to eat straw
berries; but that the housekcepcr may
prepare them with little variety, give
the following suggestions:
Strawberries-Place layer of stray
berries in fruit bowl, cover with sugar,
put another layer Of strawberries and
sugar, until the bowl is full; set on ice
until ready to serve.
Strawberries and Whipped Cream
Place layer of strawberries in a fiat
dish, cover thickly with pulverized
sugar, and another layer of berries and
sugar; cover the top with one pint of
thick cream, the whites of two eggs and
ateacup of sugar, whipped together.
Strawberry Pyramid-Crush a pint of
ripe strawberries with pound of sugar,
mix we'll; whip the whites of four eggs
until very stiff, beat with the berries
until they stand in pyramid.
Strawberry Flummery-Put pint of
strawberries and pint of sugar in a
small saucepan, add small teacup Of
boiling water, and let simmer slowly ten
minutes without stirring; moisten three
tablcspoonfuls of corn starch in little
cold water, and add to the strawberries !;
stir until it thickens, turn out to COOL
Serve cold, with sugar and cream.
Frozen Standardization quart of
ripe strawberries, put in a bowl with a
pound of sugar and the juice of two lem
ons; let stand one hour, then mash the
berries, odd a quart of water, and stir
until the sugar is dissolved; pat in a
freezer and freeze. Set aside one hour
before serving.
Frosted Strawberries-Select large,
ripe berries, leave on the stems, dip one
at time in cold water and lay on a
sieve to dry. Beat the whites of two OF
three eggs, dip the berries one at a time
into the egg, then in powdered sugar,
then in the egg and sugar again, putting
them, SO they will not touch, on plates
to dry.
Strawberry Shortcake-Into one quart
of sifted flour rub thoroughly two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, half a tea
spoonful of salt, and two tablespoonfuls
of butter; add sweet milk to make soft
dough; bake in buttercd pie pans
When done, split with sharp knife, but
ter both halves, cover the lower half will
a generous layer of ripe strawberries wei
sweetencd, place the other half of the
shortcake on top of this, crust down
cover with berries, add more sugar
Serve with pitcher of rich cream.

A BOYLESS FARM.

1t has been said that a farm without q
boy would soon come grief; but what
place would not come to grief without
him? Who is it that ''does the chores
and the bothersome errands? And what
boy ever amounts to much who is not
taught to do the chores well, and in
time, and to do errands in an exact way?
1t is business every time, and fathers
should remember that their methods are
noted and copied by the boys, and if the
hatchet, spade or rake is left to rust un-
der the tree in the yard, he thinks that if
father does it it must be all right

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE

GREENHOUSE WALLS.

The walls of a greenhouse should be
made of stone, brick or concrete, and all
the woodwork of Southern hard or pitch
pine. If built of such materials house
will last fifty years or more. When the
walls are of wood they soon decay, owing
to the constant moisture and heat. By
coating the wood with crude petroleum
it may be made to last few years longer

A servant of the Queen of the Belgians

with the purpose of lynching him He
was made aware Of the approach Of the
crowd and was placed i'm buggy and
driven rapidly TO Ellsworth, the county
seat OF Pierce county, and turned over
to the Sheriff fer protection.
The feeling among the friends of the
dead at Red Wing, Diamond Bluff, and
Trenton is very bitter against the Cap
tain, and their anger has increased
since the sudden and unsatisfactory ter
mination OF the inquest.
1t is said the United States Steamboat
Inspector has a warrant which he in
tends serving on Capt. Wethern, charg-
ing him with overlooking his vessel. 1t

FIRE AT MINNEAPOLIS.
The Security Warehouse Destroyed
Loss S5OO,OOO.

Minneapolis, (Minn.) specials: The
biggest fire that has occurred in the

Tribune building, NoY. 30, completely
destroyed the Security warehouse with
its contents, entailing loss of S500,.

the farm machinery house of Deere Il
Co. The flames gathered strength with
the flying minutes. The walls of the
warehouse fell with great crash and
the blaze mounted high in the air.
There are sixty barrels OF oil in the
basement" said Que OF the owners. AS
he spoke there was visible evidence OF
1t rs the flames leaped upward in great
angry tongues.
Suddenly the wind veered and carried
the sparks and heat diagonally across
the corner TO the Cooper Block, occupied
by O. w. Jones, the Smith Wagon COM
pany, Linsey Bros, aud the Blue Grass
company. At AIS the north side wall
OF the warehouse was seen to waver.
A shout went up from the throats of
watching thousands as IL trembled and
then fell outward with n resounding
crash. Beneath IL lay little stone
structure which had been used as a
boarding house. A dense cloud OF the
blacklist smoke arose, hiding from view
the firemen, the building, and every.
thing. When 1t cleared away the little
stone house had utterly disappeared.
