A Delicate Custard Fritter.

\ custard fritter is very delicate.
Measure out cup of milk, add it to
half cup of flour, pouring the milk
over it very gradually to make'a smooth
batter. Then add well beaten egg and
cook the batter in double boiler for 90
minutes. At the end of this time add 2
yolks of eggs, a pinch of salt and ia
blespoonful Of sugar. Let the mixture
boil up over the stove for minute or
two longer, beating it carefully to thor
oughly mix it. Pour it into a long
creased pan of proper size to spread it
to the depth of one inch. Let it become
thoroughly chilled. 1t is just as well to
stand over night. The next day cut it in
long pieces, about inches by 3. Dip it
in beaten egg, then in fine bread crumbs,
handling it very gently, as 1t is soft.
Fry it in hot fat until it is delicate
golden brown and serve at once.

THIS SEASONS PARAsoLs.
Pussy and Elaborate. but Not Away PIE.
turesquc-The New Handles

The styles III parasOls this spring are
quite III keeping with the styles in
enthusiastically fIssy, very elabD-
rate. There Is wide range 10 choose
trom, for every color under the sun l.
allowed and every material as well.
The new parasols have many little de-
tails different from those of last year,
but are about the same size and shape.
The eccentric shapes are never consid-
cred very good form and are only "A fad
which, as . rule, most women do not
indulge in. Those of this year have
sometimes two materials-for instance,
the center part Will be Of silk or satin,
then will come an insertion Of folds of
chiffon, then band of the thick ma
terial and a ru1fle of the chiffon. 1t Is
claimed that this fashion of having the
center of the thick goods shades the
eyes sufficiently, and then that the
shadows cast by having alternate stripes
Of satin and chiffon make them very be-
coming TO the complexion.
Black and white parasols are exceed
ingly smart, not the black and white
material so much as the black trimmed
with white. The black satin with broad
designs of coarse white lace and deep
ruffles of the same lace are very smart
indeed. The advantage of this style of
parasol is that it can be worn with a
gown of any color and look well, black
and white being permissible with every
thing. The ruffles of lace and chiffon
add greatly to the beauty of any parasol,
but are of course entirely out of place
with a tailor made gown or any walk
ing costume. The fancy pompadour
silks are made up into exceedingly
dainty parasols. They are extremely
reasonable in price, considering their
beauty, and can be bought as low as sc.
Indeed all parasols are much cheaper
this season.
The chiffon parasols are very much
like those of last year. The same full
amount of the stuff Is gathered in at the
top with big bow of ribbon, and the
ruffles are plain or figured, just as one
desires. For wash gowns and dainty
elaborate summer costumes these chiffon
parasols are decidedly the thing The
pink ones are extremely becoming, but

what pink parasol is not becoming? And
if women would only understand how
much depends on the color of the para
sol they carry they would spend much
more time choosing a becoming shade
for their complexion than they would
over the handle or the fabric itself Pale
blue, for instance, is anything but an
enlivening color, and very few skins
look well when seen through a blue
light. Certain shades of red are also
very bad, but pink and yellow and even
white do not possess the disagreeable
characteristics of those already men
toned.
The handle of a parasol is always a
large subject. So much individual taste
is now used that many women have
them made to order. The Dresden han
dies seem very appropriate with the
dainty light colors They wear well and
have the advantage over metal in that
they do not tarnish, nor do they soil the
glove.
The handles are of medium length
and not very large. The effort now is TO
have the parasol as light as possible, so
the ribs and stick are made after the
latest invention. The gilt and silver
ribs look extremely smart, and the fan
cy sticks are in delightful contrast to
the old fashioned ones.
Opinions differ as TO the number of
parasols a woman needs in her summer
wardrobe. The New York Herald,
which reports the foregoing, says: She
who is extravagant can find use for sew
eral. She who is prudent contends that
she can get along with one pretty sun
umbrella, one dark and one very light
parasol, while she who is very econom-
zeal proudly states that fancy sun UNI
brella will enable her to avoid sunstroke
all through the heated term.

STATE OF SUPERIOR.
PROPOSED COMMONWEALTH ON THE
BORDERS OF THE GREAT LAKE.

Citizens Of the Rich Mining and Timber
Regions Want Uniformity of Laws and
Interests and Claim Bad Treatment-sen-
timent Not Unanimous.
It is about five years now since the
first talk was heard about carving anew
state to be called Superior out Of the
northern portions Of Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota Lately the talk has
Eeen more definite and determined than
ever before, and this has been in great
measure due TO recent action by the leg
islatures of Wisconsin and Minnesota re-
garding the municipal union Of the cit
les of Duluth, MINI, and Superior,
Wis, and other legislation concerning
the location Of normal schools in both
states. So intense has the feeling be-
come that Senator Spencer of Duluth
arose in his place in the Minnesota leg
islature the other day and declared that
St. Louis county, of which Duluth Is
the county seat, was prepared to secede
from the state unless it were treated
more fairly In the future.
The map here given shows the pro-
posed boundaries of the new common
wealth, according to the ideas Of one set
of its advocates. These lines do not ex-
actly meet the views of all, however;
but, according to the plans Of every one,
Superior would occupy territory rather
more than 1000 square miles in ex-

Johnny Banks's Father.

A Kentucky school committee
whose members had invitations to
n hanging at the county Jail struck
town Just before the district school
was dismissed for the day. With a
view to combining business With
their pleasure tip the committee
dropped IN OIL the schoOlma'am
aud put a few questions to the
scholars. The answers were so
brilliantly Incorrect that the teach
er had to tell the committeeman
that all the little ones were worked
up over the coming event at the
iAIl. Then she dismissed them.
But the scholars instead sot
trooplng off as usual, hung about
the yard watching with Jralous
eyes the proud aud arrogant bear
ings OF a small boy who strut'td
among them like a king in the
midst of his cOurlers. His every
action was observed, aud it was
much more than apparent that by
far the greater part of the girls

Eventually one al them offered a
ripe, red apple to the boy, who
took it without thanks and will
cool superiority. His actions and
the queer behavior OF the Other
children aroused the curiosity o.
one of the visitors, and he turned
to the schoolma'am asking:

Jim and Judy.

From this turned to listen TO very
domestic confab between Judy and her
mate. She had just washed her face and
made herself really pretty. Then she sat
down ON a bench close to her man and
began to pet him. This bit of discourse
followed:
Just go and get a shave now, Jim.
I'll give ye a wing penny if ye will,
for the doin OF.
"Bahl What's the matter nv my phiz
anyhow"
"Naw. Ye doan' look purity. I can't

"Lemme alone. I'm on the brain
Q'm thinking)."
"well, ye mought have me ON the
brain a little more than ye do. Didn't
git ye out o. bein pinched the other
dayi''
he looked at her, relented. patted her
head and went for q shave.
The surprise to me in all this was the
genuine wifeliness Of that Judy. She was
probably as degraded as womankind ever
gets TO be, and yet she had enough hu-
manity In her to be really in love-

When Niagara Ran Dry.

Congressman Dan Lockwood of
Buffalo SAYS that within his
recollection the great waterfall at
Niagara was suspended, and that
many people passed Oy er Its rocky
places dry shOd. He says that
this miracle was wrought in lS4S,
during the month of March. To be
exact, 1t was on the morning OF
Marcl 80, 1S4S; and for several
hours the wonderful torrent did
cease to flow, and the river ran
dry. The preceding winter had
been a very severe one, and the ice
which had formed II Lake Erie
was of phenomenal thickness.
There came on March q a sudden,
exceedingly warm spell OF wealth
tr, which melted the SHOWS. and
then a warm rain poured down in
torrents during the entire day OF
the 2Sth of March.
The ice was lOosened and a
strong east wind drove it far out III
the lake daring the night. But at
sunrise on the 29th the wind came
from tue west, and, as the sailors
saw, 1t was blowing great guns
This terrific gale dove the lm-
mense mass of ice into the mouth
of the Niagara river, where it was
gorged and piled up from shore to
shore, hermetically sealing the riv-
or, and dammlng the waters back
into the lake. Thus it happened
that Niagara ran dry, its falls be-
came bleak, barren rocks, and its
mighty thunders were put to sleep
Within four or five hours tiny
streams OF water began to trickle
through the gorge. The tremendous
power back of these streams ac
CELEBRATED their flowing, and in
shore time the ice dam gave way
aud there never WIS such wild
roaring, mad flood in Niagara be
fore or siuce; aud thus the catarac
became itself again.-New YorL
