RICE PUDDING.

Into one cup of purest drink,
Let one teacup OF rice sink,
And boil till all the waters gone
No matter where. Stir with spoon
ill it is smooth and white and done.
Then add three egg-yolks, beaten hight,
One lemons rind, all grated right,
And of white sugar, well refined,
Eight spoons, by stiring-thus COM
bined.
And pour the mixture in dish
OF any size the cook may wish
And let it stand, while with fork
You beat the whites as light as cork
The whites of these three eggs mean
And when they are beaten stiff and clean,
Add eight spoonfuls of sugar white
In short, frosting you must make,
Like that you put on wedding cake.
Put the sweet icing gently over
All your pudding, like cover;
In cool oven let it brown
We think the pudding will go down.
Good Housekeeping.

Nothing grows much faster than
troubles that are nursed.
Keeping up appearances means
a frugal diet IN order to give an
occasional dinner party.
During the winter the hen may
be dilatory, but she generally
comes to scratch when the garden
is planted.
The latest estimates of the beet
sugar production of 1889 made by
the best experts, range from 3, 467, ,.
900 to 100000 tons-an average
of 3,542,750 tons. This is small
increase over the production of the
previous season.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1891-09-03

IatiOn which can muster an army almost
two hundred thousand strong, and which
would give the best trained troops in
Europe a terrible struggle before they
could violate the neutrality of the oldest
of republics.
In these days, when the tendency in
Europe is toward consolidation, Switzer-
land is regarded as little less than mir
acle. Her Independence, and her evil
q mt resolve to rpctuate it, are the ad-
miratiOn even CT those who would like to
have her territory. Germany is popu-
larIy supposed to contemplate the annex.
alton of all German Switzerland. Some
day when the fortunes of war permit it,
there will be those who say that SWitZer-
land is included in the German domains
on that official map of "Greater Ger
many" which hangs in some closely
guarded room in the Berlin War Office.
1t is certain that the Swiss watch the
mountain climbings of the specialized
German professors and their freckled-
faced wives with much suspicion, con-
WINGED that they are making top0graph-
zeal maps for use in SINE future cam
paign.
In the dreams of the Triple Alliance it
is said there are visions of a divided
Switzerland, in which Germany and
would be rather dangerous to try the
restoration of Austrian government over
the mountaineers who resented it so Bit
terly in the past, that will not be talked
of; but it is an open secret that Italy
has been led to hope for the beautiful
Swiss cantons which lie along her bOr
ders as a return for her pc itical partici-
patton in the alliance. 1t is even said
that AN Italian army, in case of a war
in which the Triple Alliance were pitt6d
against France and other powers, would
not hesitate to, traverse Switzerland for
the purpose of falling upon France. In
this case Switzerland would become an
involuntary ally of the French, for she
will certainly defend her neutrality to
the utmost.
The league of Swiss cantons is not,
like our own union Of States, the result
of single act or series Of acts. 1t is a
growth Of time, but it may be said to
have taken it's start on Aug. l. 1891,
when the districts of Uri, Schwyz, and
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1891-09-03
Pound TO DO His Duty.

During strike on one of the eastern
roads they had to pick up anybody
they could to man what trains had to
be run. The engineers and conductors
on the fast trains stood by the company,
but the brakemen were out. The
superintendent hired one big bulky
fellow, who gave his name as Boscome,
to act as brakeman on the Chicago
limited.
Now. boss" he said to the superin-
tendent, "you just tell me what to do
and you bet your boots Ill do it. Do
you want any strikers killed?"
NO, no. Don't you meddle with
them unless they NEEDLE with you.
You won't have very much to do unless
something goes wrong with the train.
Then you Eelp as much as you can and
do what the conductor tells you to"
"And if things go smooth, what do I
do them"
"Just shout the names of the
stations.
When the Chicago limited started
out at 8 o'clock that night Boscome
was on one of the sleepers. Everybody
was in his berth trying to get to sleep,
when Boscome put his head in the door
and yelled:
"Brenton's Cornersw
$40 de Laud," cried the porter,
aghast, you mussent call de names
out in sleeping CAN.
"You tend to your blackin' boots and
don't interfere with me. I'm doin'
my duty and don't you furget it.
People put their heads out from be-
tween curtains and wanted to know
what lunatic was abroad. The. sleep
ing car conductor expostulated with
Boscome, but every time lot of lights
flashed past the new brakeman yelled
"Muggin's Junction" or whatever
name was next on his list. The train
conductor at last came along and said
