FRIED ICE-CREAM.
Novelty which Philadelphia COnfec-
tioner Makes Much OF.

Novelty which a Philadelphia COnfec-
tioner Makes Much of.
A Philadelphia firm makes a speciality
of fried ice-crcam, 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
dipped in boiling lard or butter long
enough to cook the outside to crisp.
Served Immediately, the ice-cream is
fonnd 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.
Baked ice-cream which has a me-
ringue top is another caprice of cooks
that is toothsome. though this tamper-
ing with delicacy that is perfection
when it is in its perfected, normal con-
dition seems unnecessary. Good ice
cream is as good as can be.
Speaking of the dish, a woman re-
called the other day the fact that it
was first introduced at the national
capital by Mrs. Alexander Hamilton.
She used TO tell with amusement of
the delight with which President
jackson first tasted it, and how he
promptly decided to have ices at the
executive mansion. Accordingly
guests at the next reception were
treated to the frozen mystery, and af-
forded considerable fun to the initiated
by the reluctance with which they
tasted it. Those from the rural dis
tricts, especially, fist eyed it suspi-
ciously, and then melted each spoonful
with the breath before consuming it.
Their distrust was soon removed, how
ever. and plates were emptied with
great rapidity. -Cleveland Leader.

WITHHOLDING THE REINS.
A Common and Frequently Justified Con
plant Against EMPLOYERS


One of the common causes of com
plant of young men against their EN-
ployers is that they do not give them
enough liberty;" sometimes il is called
sufficient lee-way.n This may often
appear so to the young man, but he
must remember that this question is
capable of being looked at from two
points of view. The right to act and
think for ones self is just preroga-
tive, and am ready TO concede that
employers sometimes withhold this
right too long from young men. But
young men must remember that
what is ones own, and has per.
haps been acquired by years of
the hardest kind of self-denial
and work, is very precious to a man,
and he must not be blamed when he is
Jealous over it. Authority is a good
thing to invest in the right hands, but
IL is most dangerous kind of thing
in the hands of the inexperienced.
When young man has proven his
worth in a position | think he ought
to be gradually vested with authority.
Responsibility unquestionably makes
y
will respect and endeavor to meet the
responsibility placed upon him. But
young men are, as rule, too impa-
tient for this trust They want it too
soon. The most difficult thing in bust
ness is to do what one is told to do.
and stop there. We are all apt to
believe that we can improve on
somebody else's ideas. Now, young
man starting in business is at first
paid to do, not to think. His employer
will do the thinking: he must do the
carrying out part. If it was intended
that he should think, he would not be
paid six hundred dollars Men en-
ployed to think are paid more than
clerks are. Let young man in bust
ness show that he is capable of carry
ing out the wishes of his employer, and
he demonstrates most valuable
quality. To do a thing precisely as
one is told to do it is the first step to
success. When the employee has served
term of probation, then can he hope
20 be given more individual grasp of
the reins. The young man is wise who
at the start is content simply to sit be-
driving.
On. the side of the young mans argu-
ment, | am free to believe that employ
ers are not always sufficiently willing
TO transfer authority. The full worth
of a young mans business capacities
can never be tested until he has had an
opportunity to stand on his own bot
tom" as the saving is The chance he
should be given, and the employer is
not fair who withholds this right. It
is as young man that the capable
business man is nodded both to know
the value of responsibility and how to
carry it. If responsibility is withheld
he becomes machine of no use to him
self, and of precious little value to his
employer. ] think appeals to the honor
and self-reliance of the young man are
rarely frequent enough in the business
world.-Edward w. Box, in Cosmopoli-
tan.

Few Railway Statistics PIT Into inter
esting Comparison.
Relatively to its area, Europe is much
better furnished with railway facilities
than any other of the worlds conti-
nents, and even in Europe, where the
railway system had its origin, and
where il affirmed to it's vigorous ado
lescence at a much earlier period than
elsewhere, unless we except the United
States. the rate of growth during the
last decade has been considerable. If
the whole of Europe we're to be sup
piled with railways to the same extent,
relatively to area and population. as
the United kingdom, the railway sys-
tenn of this old continent would still
appear to be only in its infancy. The
British isles have an area of 121, lis
square miles. and as the mileage of
railways opened is now close on 20, 900
miles, there is. roughly, one mile of
railway to six miles of area.
II the same relationship of railway
mileage of area were to be established
in Europe generally, the total railway
mileage, instead of being only 1856, 552
miles. would / raised to about ESQ, 900
miles, or nearly five times as much as
it is at the present time. Europe, how
ever, although it has nearly one-third
of the total railway mileage of the
world, has only about one-fourteenth
of the worlds known land surface, so
that if the density of railway mileage
were as great throughout the land
surface of the globe as in the British
isles, the ultimate railway mileage,
instead of being only about 37O.O
miles as in 1890, would rise to s,s66. 900
miles, or nearly thirty times as much.
This, of course, is an impossible figure,
and is only interesting as showing
what still remains to be done in the
way of extending the existing network
of the arteries of commerce and travel
large part of the land surface of
the globe is uninhabite owing to its
aridity or to the rigors of the climate.

And after that their father had been
taken from them these brothers made

And the blacksmith would have pros

the blacksmith, looking angrily upon

the blacksmith was an honest man.
Howbeit. presently, when a horse
was missing, men gathered and hanged
the blacksmith, saying: This man
must take after his father" So the
blacksmith did take after his father;

And at the same time. in his own

of heart failure" Aud again he wept,
the qrestioner weeping with him.
Then. this being told. men said:
"DOu btless, since his father died of
heart failure this good physician and
loving son hath made study of kindred
diseases" So they resorted unto him.
And the physician became a special

The Wise Mothers Influence Upon Her
Daughter.
Just about the time a young girl
blooms into possible or prospective
bride, her fate hangs, TO a large extent
upon the tact and diplomacy of her
mother. There are mothers who have
clear ideas Of the kind of marriage it is
possible and desirable that their daugh-
ters should make They give their
girls the training which fits them for
such marriage, they frown on all I'M
desirable associations, and foster all
that meet their wishes. Their daugh-
tiers almost always marry and lead re-
spectacle and comfortable lives. 1t is
not so certain that they lead lives of
enthusiasm.
Yet il is hardly fair to laugh at such
mothers and call them matchmakers.
They often know their children better
than the children know themselves,
and it is very well that the elders
should guide the choice, though it
would be intolerable il they made the
decision. A woman who loves her
child must try to secure the child's
happiness according to her light. II
she is high-minded and wishes her
daughter to marry a, noble man, she
will not use base means. If she wishes
to crafty selfish ambition, she can
not use worthy means.

a girl grow up with the idea that she
will be sure To marry. or worse still,
that she ought To marry. On the con-

JACkALING A JAY.
How the Ambitious Young Dramatist

How the Ambitious Young Dramatist
from the Country is FIeeced.
DO you know, for instance, what
''iackaling" is in New York? A jackal
is a man generally of good address and
capable of display of good-feilowship,
combined with much knowledge of
literature and art, and vast and in
tinate acquaintance with writer's,
musicians and managers. He makes
it his business to haunt hotels, the
atrical agencies and managers offices,
and to know whenever, in his language,
"a new jay comes to town"
The jay he is after is some man gem
orally from the smaller provincial cities
who has artistic or theatrical aspira-
tions and pocketful of money. 1t is
the jaclSal's mission to turn this jaw
into an ''angel." Has the gentleman
from LOclSport come with the score of
a comic opera under his arm ard two
thousand dollars in his pocket? Two
thousand dollars will not go far 10
ward the production of a comic opera
in these days, and the jay finds that
out later. but not until after the
jackal has made himself intimate
dciudihtcu WIN very gen
tlemanly and experienced mana
ger, who thinks that it can
be done for that price with strict
economy. Has the young man of pro-
nounced theatrical talent arrived
from Keokuk with gold and thirst
for fame? The jackal knows just the
dramatist who will write him the play
that he ought to star in. Does the
wealthy and important person from
Podunk desire to back something alb
solutely safe and sure in the line of
theatrical speculation? The jaclxal has
the very thing for which he is looking.
And in all these, and in all similar con-
tingencies, it is n poor jackal who does
not get his commissions at both ends. =
