Cafe frappe and chocolate frappe are both
f~avorite beverages for the teas served on
the piazza hot summer afternoons. A tested
recipe for the former consists of eight level
tablespoonfuls of freshly ground coffee
covered with a quart of boiling water for
eight or ten minutes. Strain the coffee. dis
solve in 1t eight tablespoonfuls of granu-
lated sugar. and add a half pint of warmed
milk and the same quantity Of sweet
cream. Stir thoroughly and when cold put
in a freezer and partly freeze. Serve in
glass or china cups with small cakes or
waters. Just before serving drop in each
cup a little cold whipped cream. People
who do not object to using spirits in their
cookery sometimes flavor the frappe with a
little brandy. For the chocolate. which is
a very rich beverage. use three-fourths of
n pound of sweetened chocolate. Break 1t
in small pieces and set in a bowl over hot
water until melted. Heat a quart and a
half of milk in an oatmeal boiler. and stir
in the melted chocolate. a little at q time.
When thoroughly mixed and smooth set
where 1t will cool. and stir il often while
cooling. Whip a pint of cream to a froth.
and when the chocolate is nearly cold add
it. Flavor delicately with vanilla and beat
lightly with an egg-bsater until well mixed.
Partly freeze and serve in the same way
as the coffee.

Imposing on Travellers.

New YORK Tribune.
Travellers are sometimes seriously embar-
raised by the packages with which they are
intrusted. A lady who was going West re-
ceived a message from a friend that she
would meet her at the station in the morn
ing with "A few things she would like to
have transported to a married daughter. The
few things proved to be a m~edium-sized
trunk, and the accommodating traveller had
TO pay for extra baggage. Another received
a medium-sized package to be carried to a
relative of the sender. A pasteboard box
was wrapped IN several thicknesses Of pa
per. The traveller had received no infor-
nation regarding the contents. but as it
was rather heavy. thought it might be a
plum cake. However. she felt Obliged to

on the day of her departure, she found
that the country cousin had driven in and

Tin box containing a number of quart Jars
OF preserves, and weighing nearly fifty
pounds. The cousin had requested her TO
put IL in her trunk. AS that was out of
the. question, she hastily covered the box
with stout canvas, believing that IL would

the baggage master positively refused TO

too amiable friend took IL on the train

smashed. Subsequently. the country cousin

The Rejuvenating wheel.

New York Evening Sun.
A curious development of the bicycle
craze is its juvenescent effect upon women.
Clad in the abbreviated skirt that con-
vention has at last declared that she may
wear upon the wheel. the most venerable
of them looks for all the world like a
young. kittenish thing Of sixteen. From
the chronological point of view. the short
skirt levels all ranks. Were 1t not for GER
tain physiognomic distinctions it would be
hard to tell the difference between grand
mother and granddaughter when dismount-
ed. This isn't altogether because short
skirts have so long been the emblem and
insignia OF youth, either. No little refiec-
tion upon the matter soon convinces YOU
that there Is yet another and even more
important cause. Grandmother's feet and
ankles are just as youthful-looking as her
granddaughter's, which proves the inter-
esting fact that the extremities are some
how proof against the ravages of time.
Hair may grizzle. eyes may dim and
cheeks may fade; feet and ankles retain
their adolescent grace. But II has been
only possible to discover this since the
advent of the bicycle. The thing has its
inconvenience. though. III is confusing, not
TO say irritating, when the supposed little
girl walking toward you turns out to be
a middle-aged matron or well-seasoned
spinster. 1t is noticeable, though. that no
such women ever minds being told of such
a mistake.

Nine Famous Nelson's.

Among the hundreds of remarkable feat
ures identified with Ringing Brothers
Worlds Greatest Shows this season, es-
pecial attention is called to the marvellous
acrobatic troupe known all over the world
as the nine famous Nelson's. Among all the
remarkable acrobatic families which the
arena has served to introduce to the circus
loving people of America. there has never
been a troupe that could in any way COM
pare with these superb performers. tn
troupe comprises six men and three young
ladies, each an accomplished artist, and all
admirably endowed by nature for the part
taken in the general performance. A strtk-
ing feature of the performance given by
these marvellous acrobats is the fact that
the gentlemen wear evening costumes and
the ladies long skirts, and thus attired turn
single and double somersaults. on the
ground, or from shoulder to shoulder, and
perform numberless other incredible feats
with ease and grace. The Leroy troupe OF
aerobats. the three Provost Brothers, the
Brothers Herman. and many other high
class. h~igh-salaried acronats, gymnasts.
tumblers and contortionists. form a galaxy
of talent in this department that no other
exhibition can ever hope to approach. The

geous. dazzling reproduction OF the ancient
Grecian festival of Olympus, stands

THE PARKS NEW BILL
"a BOOMING TOWN. FULL OF Fun
AND SPECIALTIES, COMING.
Out OF Difference to the Overflow of
Patriotism, Popular Songs Will BE
Sung on Friday Night.

Tomorrow and all this week the Park
Theater has a new farce comedy. called
"A Booming Town" in which the bright
particular stars are Leslie and White. who
were last season with "F~innigan's Ball."
Every member OF the company is a spe-
cialty artist of reputation, and a number
of new speciaities are introduced during
the three acts. The latest songs and a
number of catchy medleys are also heard
during the fun
The first act. the Monte Cristo Hotel
scene, is at the seaside. Boomville. A LAM
agent, in order to boom his town. has en-
gagged Buffalo Bill and DR.. Carver to give
an exhibition of fancy shooting. but for
some reason they disappoint him. and he
is in considerable trouble till he meets
two tramps. whom he engages to imper-
senate Buffalo Bill and DR.. Carver. They
go through all of the fancy shooting that
the original parties would have done. but
in the end are discovered.
The second act represents a drug store.
The scenery and settings of this act are
especially good. This is the only drug
store in "a Booming Town." and the
tramps are engaged 10 take the place CT
two doctors. They are known as Weary
Walker and Willie Everwork, and they
know nothing about medicines, which fact
is a source of much fun.
The third act shows the parlor of the
hotel, and after the usual amount OF farce
comedy confusion the tramps elope with a
couple of pretty girls, who are in the dark
regarding their Identity. The land agents
finally succeed in raising the population
of the town to three thousand. the figure
necessary to secure a $4,000 legacy, which
is the foundation for the story. They get
the money, only to find that their sweet
hearts have eloped by mistake with the
trampS.
"A Booming Town remains all week at
the Park, with matinees daily.

country about Laura Burt, a Hoosier act
ress, who is Western to the core. and made
her debut in this city: THE Lily of
LANDAU" a new romantic comedy drama
by II. Grattan Donneily, will be utilized by
Miss Laura Burt during the season of 1897
SS, TO introduce her to the play-going pub
lie as a star. The play is a reflex of life
and scenes in Wales. and will be the first
play having a heroine who speaks with a
Welsh dialect. Miss Burt is peculiarly
adapted, both by nature and art. to give an
ideal portraiture of the heroic young Welsh
girl. She has all the vivacity, the magne-
tism and histrionic ability, together with a
natural Welsh dialect. TO give the proper
coloring and effect.

Darkest Russia.

Theatre goers, as was attested by
the large audience last night, were
pleased with the presentation of the
play, as it shows out in dramatic real
ism, a condition which many people do
not understand as existing today. The
Russian political system is the theme
around which the story of the play
revolves. The field is an unlimited
one, and offer unusual scope for stir
ring scenes, as well as for spectacular
and scenic effect. In the construction
of the play, the author, Mr.. H. Graf
tan Donnelly, has displayed inventive
powers, and in a series of interesting
scenes, pictures in graphic manner the
laws by which the people are governed.
The production is mounted in beauti-
full manner and an exceptionally strong
company tell the tale. The author has
woven through the story a strong
comedy element which throws a bright
and cheerful humor over. The Amer
lean colouel from Kentucky and the
German Baroness keep the audience in
happy state of merriment from the
opening to the final scene.
A matinee was given this afternoon
to be followed by a rendition tonight

YaIe's Future Base Ball Captaiu.

The future captain of the Yale I'M
iversitv base ball niue came to town
yesterday, when a bouncing big boy
was born to DR.. and Mrs. Samuel Is.
Childs formerly of Hartford, Conn ;,
but now of this city. Mother and son
are doing finely, and the young man
has already registered his solemn in
tention of just making the old man
take back water on first base. He
himself will attend to that position,
besides captaining the nine, he will
'knock the tar out Of Princeton and
Harvard in a style that will surely make
him the hero of the hour: get his full
length portrait in the New York
papers, and make all the bellies of the
town go smashed on him. That's Just
the kind of a Boston baked bean he is
gentle OK eyed reader, and don't forget
it
Dr.. Childs is a Yale 'S3 graduate,
and one of the university's most noted
ball player.
