Loves Cartridges.

Take one dozen ice moulds in the
shape of cartridges, measuring two
and one-half inches long by one inch
wide. Whip a quart of cream with
vanilla and sugar; fill the cartridges,
which must then be placed on ice for
one hour. Then take them one at a
time from the ice; dip one end in cold
water and take off the lid Run q
round wooden stick one-half an inch
in diameter down the center of the
iced cream and fill up the hollow with
grated chocolate. Put the lid on
again and place back on the ice. When
ready to serve turn the cartridges
from their moulds, dish them up in a
conical form upon lace paper. This
is French recipe.

WHAT Is A. BABYf

A London paper has been fishing
for definitions as to what baby Is,
and received long ist of defn-
itions. That which took the prize
was "a tiny feather from the wing
of love, dropped into the sacred lap
Of motherhood"
A paddock on>the chain of love.
Among the definitions were the
following:
The most extensive employer OF
female labor.
A bold asserter of the rights Of
free speech.
A troublesome compendium OF
great possibilities.
The only thing needful to make a
home happy.
The only precious possession that
never excites envy.
A crying evil you only aggrayate
by putting down.
The morning caller, monday crawl.
er, midnight bawler.
A thing we are expected to kiss
and look as # we enjoyed it.
A native of all countries, who
speaks the language of none.
The pulp from which the leaves Of
Hfe's book are made.
The sweetest thing God ever
made and forgot to give wings to.
A soft bundle of love and trouble
which we cannot do without.
The magic spoil by which the gods
transform house into a home.
A thing everybody thinks there
is a great deal too much fuss about,
unless 1t is their own. y
The latest edition of humanity of
which every couple think they posi-
sess the finest copy.
There is only one perfect spec
linen of baby in existence. and ev.
cry mother is the happy possessor
of it.
That which increases the mothers
toll, decreases the fathers cash :,
and serves as an alarm clock to the
neighbors.
A mite of humanity that will cry
no harder il pin is stuck into him
than he will if the cat won't let him
pull her tail.

humanity that could scarcely be en-.
dured if he belonged to some one
else, but, being our own, is newt

-oMN AND COUNT1SITTING ON AN EMPTY

10 of some description from our

ertainly q singular subject, and

p idea is totally beyond our com.

it should be; but these circum~
tances could hardly have suggest
q the unique caption to this string
4 words. The thought crosses our
ind that, az local news items are
lther scarce, he would put us in
10 way of filling a gap in one of
pr columns. If such be the case,
is plan has succeeded; but we
IOubt the correctness of this inters
rotation. 1t is often said that a
Millionaire candidate for some po-
itical Office will prove successful,
9 he has a "full BARREL" Now,
rom this last sentence, which was
.opstIucted by chance, VIC may
svolve solution to the puzzle.
ye are a candidate for public ia
yrs, but far from a successful one,

"a want Of q bank account forcibly
nstrates. So we conclude that
lr friend intended to intimate
lat so far as our hopes of business
access in this portion of Gods

re "Httfng on an Empty Barrel"
We do NOT, however, agree with our
Imaginative friend-hope and faith
With ps are as constant as the needle

ingly rendered, and Masters May

L. B. Of r. H. 5. was interesting
and Instructive. The Compulsory

by Messrs. 81. X. Rouse and Theo.
Bilbo. Mr.. Rouse is a dignlfed,
graceful and fluent speak er, and we
predict that the public will hear
from him, in the not distant future,
on more important occasions than
the one referred to. Mr.. Bnbo is
original in language and gesture,
and is destined to move and sway
mighty audiences. To mako a long
description short, we will say, that
Mr.. Bllbo is a combination of Rev.
Sam Jones, Hon. J. 81. Neville and
Actor Sol Smith Russell. Mr..
Bilbo's speech killed the bill under

For many years there was no law
