Fried Ice Cream.

A Philadelphia firm makes speciality
of fried ice cream. which is pronounced
delicious by all who taste it. A small.
solid cake of the cream is enveloped in
thin sheet of pie crust and then dip
ped in boiling lard or butter long enough
to cook the outside to crisp. Served i'm
mediately. the ice cream is found to be
as solidly frozen as when it was first
prepared. The process of frying is SO
quickly accomplished and the pastry is
so good protector that the heat has no
chance to reach the frozen cream New

EyrRY wage Garner weO invests bis

EVERY wage Garner weo invests his
savings in the stock of any cor
poration-and thousands of them do
will be affected by the income tax. The
law is claimed to affect only the rich,
and might affect only the rich if its op-
erations were confined to personal in
comes, but when the income of corpo-
rations are brought within the law, all
stockholders have to bear their share
whethertheir personal incomes be much
or little. Many employers make it an
object for their employees to invest their
savings in the stock of the company
which employs them because they thus
become interested and do better work,
but if a workingman is to be taxed be-
cause he is thrifty, there will be little
incentive to him to continue his endeay-
ors to save.

Fifty Dollars Fine.

Many people do not know that by
writing with pen or pencil on the margin
of newspaper, or on the fiy-leaf of a
book, and then sending it through the
mail at newspaper or book rates, they
subject themselves to fine of the above
amount. But such is the fact. 1t is per
missible to mark articles or items with
pen or pencil, by drawing line or making
a cross or other mark for the purpose of
calling attention to it. but no Ineligible
word must be written, unless regular let
ter-rate postage is paid.

SENATOR NICHOLS has cause to feel
elated over the final triumph of his tax
bill. He undertook the work in the face
of the fact that similar efforts had re-
peatedly been defeated in the courts.
He framed the bill with careful regard
to the fatal points in other measures,
and now that the gauntlet has been run,
and the bill still stands, merits for him
no small praise.

Primitive Names.

The CONSERVATION which some bota-
nists have raised in pressing the duty of
abandoning many universally accepted
plant names and adopting for general
use more primitive ones is spreading to
other departments Of learning. It is
found that the whole English language
is in the same unfortunate condition as
the language of botany. 1t is proposed

Perthsbire Queen of scotland.

This is the central county of Scot
land in more senses than one and has
the natural and hereditary right tC
be regarded as queen of the land. II
was the first to draw attention hith,
erward and still remains the chief
attraction. When the southron talks
of the highlands, he means Perth
shire; when he starts for the high,
lands, he arrives in Perthshire. There
are doubtless ''hills beyond Gram
plans and lands beyond Tay," but on
either side of the great watershed
which marks the northern boundary
of this county there is tendency to
become tanner and commoner.
The charm of the scene is accord
ing to the seekers. To some it may
be those stream plowed ravines and
glacier scooped lakes, to others the
purple autumn hills, with the whir-
ring coveys of richly dark birds, but
charm there is for all. And if men
would only leave the wild life alone,
we do not know that there would be
a more interesting and enchanting
place to spend a summer holiday
than this same Perthshire. The 9th
err counties may well say, as was once
said of a great statesman, 1--WE are
all proud of you. Scottish Review.

What Minnie Wanted.

Speaking of children, the following
little tale comes from one who is well
versed in child lore and is the chill
'dren's friend:
Mamma aud papa were going from
home for time, and little Minnie
was sent to Uncle Johns for visit.
The small girl was so homesick her
big cousin tried to entertain her with
cards. This never failed to stop the
ready tears.
When the visits were over and the
family gathered at home, Minnie
missed her games and one day broke
out in a passion of grief, crying for
her ''tards."
The father and mother were utter
ly at loss for a time. Good Metho-
dists, they never had \ card in the
house and had no suspicion of the
contamination to which the child had
been exposed at Uncle Johns.
At last, in despair, all the visiting
and business cards in the house were
collected for Minnie, but she threw
them scornfully aside and electrified
her parents by demanding the "deuth
of spades" and 'ath of hearts. Buff
falo News.
