An American Speciality.

Ice cream Is cheaper In Europe than
In America. but that sold in the sa-
looms usually lacks the indednabie
qualities that make II 50 attractive at
home. A varied and recent expert
ence with the lee creams OF Europe
induces the conclusion that only the
"sorbetto" one gets on the Piazza OF
St. Marks In Venice approaches the
delicious perfection of the ordinary
everyday Ice cream of America. Per-
haps this Is because the Veneuans
themselves eat ice cream, whereas In
most other European cities II Is re-
regarded as an outlandish connection.
prepared oh yfor the peculiar palate
OF the stranger. One occasionally finds
a soda fountain ip Europe, but the soda
water, like the ice cream, is unsatis-
factory. It Ia like that found in
many of our own country towns; the
drink Is either froth without favor, or
flavor without fizz, or lukewarm, or
something else equally disappointing.
To be sure there are other drinks to
be had. In England there are the pep
perry ginger ale, bottled lemonade. and

Continent there is the everlasting
SHERIFF. In Italy and other countries
countries one can get perhaps half a
dozen different fruit syrups, which
are served in small quantities In large
glasses, the water filling up the glass
from the water bottle. The country
folks of the north make various sorts
of light beers from roots and herbs.
but these cannot be had at public
places in cities, as birch beer, root
beer, sarsaparilla, and the like can be
had in the United States. 1t must
be remembered, however, that no other
people on earth so persfstently drench
themselves with drinks, in all seasons
and at all hours. as do Americans.
Anything like the scene at big soda
fountain In any American town ON
a summers day. Is not to be found in
any other country.

Honey az Food.

Honey has been known from the
earliest times. The Scripture makes
mention Of 1t, and pagan writers cele-
brate its virtues. 1t was called the
milk of the aged" and was thought to
prolong life. Honey was also used
in the embaln1ing of the body after
death. This food, as useful as it ia
delicious, was esteemed most highly
by the Greeks, who celebrated Its vir-
tues alike In prose and verse, SO that
the fame of Attic honey has been
transmitted unimpaired to our own
day. Used In all kinds Of pastry, cake
and ragouts, IL was also esteemed as a
sauce.
Pythagoras, in the latter portion Of
his life, was a vegetarian. and lived
wholly on bread and honey. diet
which he recommended to his disci-
pies. And this gentle philosopher reach
ed the ripe old age uf ninety years be-
fore he departed from life.
The true source from which honey
is derived was only discovered in later
years. Virgil supposed that its de-
licious sweetness fell from heaven up
on flowers in the shape of gentle, in
visible dew, belief which he shared
with Pliny and even Gaien. It was
left to modern observers to study with
enthusiasm plant life and bee life, and
learn from chem some of the most
wonderful lessons Of nature.
Honey was often served by the an
clients at the beginning OF a banquet
In order that the uneloyed palate
enjoy to the full its exquisite flavor.
II took the place that sugar occupied
after the discoveries of the properties
Of the sugar cane. so that all con-
serves. cakes and beverages were de-
pendent on honey for their sweetness
Apicius prepared II for seasoning pur-
poses In this manner: Boil eight
pounds Of honey with one pint Of wine
skim, add pepper, spikenard. saffron
and dried dates. This mixture was
kept in Jars to use as occasions re-

How to WASH EmbroIderles.

In washing em1roideries done with
crewels on foundation of linen or
crash, the first time bran water should
always be used to set the colors. To
prepare the water pour gallon boiling
hot over pound of bran. Let the bran
soak in the water day, stirring it oc-
casionally, then strain it well. Put the
article to be washed in the water when
it is lullewarm, pressing and squeezing
1t through the water until clean. Do
not think of wringing dry, but press out
all the moisture possible and dry in a
warm place without exposure to sun
light. When it is stiA damp, lay the
right side on flannel and press on the
wrong side. Use only the best crewels
If you expect them to wash well.-St.
