A pleasant beverage during this season
OF tOrridity is cream soda. 1t can be made
by boiling together for five minutes two
ounces Of tartaric acid, two pounds OF
white sugar, the juice OF one lemon, and
three pints Of water. When the syrup ID
almost cold add the whites of three eggs,
half cupful OF flour, and half an ounce
of essence Of wintergreen. Beat these to-
gether thoroughly, then bottle and keep
in a cool place. Two tablespoonful of the
syrup to each glass OF water, and add q
fourth of tablespoonful of bicarbonate OF
soda. This drink should be taken quickly.
1t is pleasantly etfervescent aud is thought
by many superior to soda water.

WHo's AFRAID2
Tell me not in mournful numbers
That | mustn't eat green fruit;
What is life without cucumbers,
Salt and vinegar to suitS
But enjoyment and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way:
Just to eat, that each tomorrow
Finds US fatter than today.
The cucumber crop Is fleeting,
Green apples for no one wait;
Let us, then, be up and eating.
With heart for any fate

There is nothing slow about this snake
story: While Horace Clinger was cutting
wheat near Manchester he stirred up u
large black snake, which became so on
ragged at being disturbed that it coiled 1T
self about him. His fellow workman soon
ntgn lA1
in despRtching the reptile but 1t was none
too soon, as the snake had him down and
was slowly but surely crushing him to
death. Clinger's hair which was OF jet
black color previous to the occurrence,
turned to u silvery white within q short
time after. The serpent measured over
eight feet.

You who capture hearts in plenty,

Each one with its message tender,

Such is Cupid's way.
You will end my own confession

! For its every map's impression
That you love him best.

Love within my breast.

THE LADY CYCIsT:
Away on the road where the dust clouds
whir,
Away, with the spirit estate
Goes the cool.as- -aC-icicle, bicycle girl
Bestrldlng the latest pneumatic;
She heeds not the scofers who scoru,
Though knickers her kickers adorn
The cool-as- an-iclcle, bicycle tricycle.,
maiden by no means forlorn.
The ladies esteem her fast little mink
(Tho thin and the plain and the haughty)
But Man, irreclaimable, blameable, thinks
The costume iS nice though it's naughty.
1t isn't 30 much what is worn
AS the form that the garments adorE
With tho rational-skirt-able, irritable
spurtable maiden by no means forlorn
With good Mrs. Grundy our friend loses
caste:
She's not asked in to tea at the wears.
They say, rs IL only the cycle that's fasti'
Because she wears tunic and knickers.
Although she's to men not amiss
There are still some rowdies who hiss
| AT the ALWAYS permisjable kissable. blIss
