NESSELRODE PUDDING.

New York notwithstanding her
lecture Mrs. Lemcke said: THE nes-
selrode pudding is one of the finest
desserts and not difficult to make I
have in this saucepan two pounds of
large cheStnuts, which l will cover
with boiling water, then place over the
fire and boil twenty minutes. Now re-
move the shells and press the chest
nuts through a PURGE sieve. Next, l

yOlks of five eggs; add one pint of
cream, one pint of pineapple syrup, a
little salt; place this over the fire and
stir constantly till just about to boil
then remove from the fire and set

bowl, Mrs. Lemcke said, Gin this I
have a half pint of fine cut preserved
pineapple, with four ounces of fine
cut citron, one cupful preserved cher
ries without pits, four ounces Of
stoned raisins and half pint of Mar
aShcine wine. This has been standing
one hour Now, [ put the chestnut
cream into a freezer and freeze ten
minutes, then [ add on pint of whipped
cream, give it few turns again, then
add the fruits; mix thoroughly and
continue to freeze a few minutes
longer. Now, I take this form, which
is a plain tin pudding form with a
tube in the center, pour in the prepara-
ton cover and place a strip of buttered
paper over where the cover and form
meet so that no rock salt can get in;
then pack the form thoroughly in rock
salt and ice for one hour.

THE DIXONS IN CONGRESS.

II George Peabody Wetmore is
| chosen senator from Rhode Island, he
will be an important addition to the
men of wealth and influence who are
now members Of that body, says the
New York Sun, and his election will
mark the departure of one of the most
attractive and popular men who ever
sat in the senate. Nathan f. Dixon
will be missed when he leaves the
senate chamber, not only by his col
leagues but by all those who have
come in contact with him during his
residence in Washington. Except for
few years, just preceding the time
when he was elected, there has been
a Nathan T. Dixon in one or the other
house of congress continuously for
years. The grandfather of the present
senator occupied a seat in the senate
years ago, having been promoted from
the house of representa- tives, to which
body he had come from the legislature
Of Rhode Island. His son, Nathan F.
Dixon. father of the present senator,
followed in his fathers footsteps
through the Rhode Island assembly to
the national house of representatives,
and died while a member of that body.
The present Nathan f. Dixon also
served in the assembly Of his native
state, and came to Washington as a
senator in 1889. He did not serve in
the house Of representatives. He has
not taken part in the debates, but has
been constantly in his seat when the
senate was in session, and no man in
Washington is better posted at all
times on what is going on than he.
He listens to every word that is said,
and remembers all he hears. He has
a rich vein of humor that cropped out
soon after he came to the senate, to
the surprise of his colleagues. One
day Senator Ransom of North Caro-
lima and Senator Butler of South Caro-
lima got into quite tangled argument
on the subject of Il senator's pair.
After the snarl had been Strengthened
out Senator Dixon quietly arose and
said:
''Afr. President, now that the senator
from North Carolina and the senator
from South Carolina have arranged
their historic dispute I would like to
vote"
During the long tariff debate Of 1890
over the Mckinley bill it was noticed
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1894-05-24

that for many days Mr.. Dixon sat
quiet in his chair, making pencil notes
on the wide margin of the printed copy
of the bill. Some one got hold of this
document one day and found that the
young Rhode Island senator had
covered it with lifelike sketches of his
colleagues in debate and in their yari-
Gus attitudes of listening. The sketches
were pasted around the senate cham
Der and created great amusement, I'M
til the artist got hold Of them and
locked them UP. Mr.. Dixon lives at
the old homestead in Westerly, where
he has a fine farm with plenty Of
Jersey cattle and good horses, and he
thinks life there much more satisfac-
tory and enjoyable than in Washing
ton. That is why he was not a can
didate for a second term.

THE GIRLS DAY OUT.
Custom Selects Thursday for Cook and
Maid of All Work.

Thursday is the girls day out" in
many a family. Custom has settled
upon that as the vacation time of the
cook or maid-of-aIl-wOrk, and where
but one servant is employed the house
wife regards this all-tOO-frequent hap
pening with horror, and when night
comes declares that she is half dead

this lies a lesson, tucked so Snugly
away that but few women are even
able to perceive the shadow of it. Yet
there it is, ready to be learned, and as
worthy Of study as others that are
shouted from the housetOpS.
If the mistress feels the strain of
one days work, let her be cOnsiderate
six days out Of seven. Remember that
though her back is more accustomed
to the burden than yours, it cannot go
on forever without at times feeling
the weight pressing very heavily upon
it.

SISTERS IN COMPETITION.
They Are the Wives Of Two Brothers

brothers, in fact, and they married
twin sisters. Say, this thing goes now

about in it. These two mugs work in
Ne York and come in and go out
every day. One is butter commission
dealer and the other sells carpets

and meet at the same place every
evening. They've been married twelve
years, and one of them has a girl and
the other a boy. That's ALL Now, the

THE HOME OF THE EASTER LILY
How the Lilies Are Grown by the
Acre in Bermuda.

Country Gentleman: When easter
approaches, the lovely sunlit island of
Bermuda begins to pour into this
country her beautiful lilies, and every
steamer that comes up from the trop-
ical island of the Atlantic unloads at
New York cargoes Of flowers that
watt to our senses the fragrance Of
warmer climes. Visitors go down from
this port to Bermuda by the hundreds,
and return laden with freshly-gathered
lilies as mementoes Of the occasion.
Every florists shop soon becomes a
miniature Bermuda lily field, and
homes, churches and public institu-
tons are oranmented with the fra
grant flowers. For a brief space OF
time all other flowers are forced into
the background while the famous
Easter and Bermuda lilies reign SUI

TEN ACRES OF OLD BUGGIES.

At an Ohio sale of horses where 100
were offered a deceased traders prop
erty, II sold for $50 in one lot. They
go to feed the animals of menagerie
wintering at Columbus, which has
used up a large number of old horses
during the winter. This trader came
to Worthington, near Columbus, from
Connecticut in 1852 and accumulated
a large property. He dealt in all
kinds Of livestock and grain, and
would trade for anything, He con-
tracted cancer on his hand, supposed
by poison from some diseased horse.
He died in February. There was 10
acres of ground literally covered over
with old buggies, wagons, omnibuses.
plows, sleighs, machines and every
conceivable trading implement, many
of the wagons mired deeply in the
soil, having been used as feed racks for
horses and cattle for years. The owner
would not sell any old iron. Hun
dreds of men congregated at this sale
from pure curiosity. Perhaps the equal
of this collection of old articles and
old horses could not be found in the
world owned by one man. The horses
sold from % cents to 81, the majority
at 80 cents to Sc per head. This man,
E. A. Fuller, commenced selling
chain-pump water-drawer, then mar
ried into a wealthy family and got a
start, making a large amount of money
during the war period dealing in
horse and other livestock. He kept
the old wagons and buggies which he
traded for as an advertisement.
