The party stopped at the First national

"This is Gov. Tooker," said n of the
members. as they passed through the
office of the clerk and recorder.
And even then Judge Gilbert did not
meet the governor of the state, for that
official was out of the city on official
business at the capital of the nation.

ICED PupplNGS.
Something Good TO Eat and Easy TO
Make.

It is a ply that more cooks do not un-
derstand the preparation of the many
delicious iced buildings which French
artists of the kitchen make from rice
and from nuts. The iced rice pudding
is most delicious, made as a simple rice
custard. frozen and served with pre-
served fruits. Boil a scant teacup of
nice Carolina rice in a double boiler
with Il quart of milk, half a cup of sugar
and half a teaSpOOnful of salt. When
the rice is soft take it up and stir in the
yOlks of four eggs. Return the pud-
ding to the fire and beat it hard for two
or three minutes. Add Il pint of rich
cream, and, when the pudding is cold,
two tablespoonfuls of maraschiho ar
some sherry, or, if you prefer it, a table
spoonful of orange extract. Freeze the
pudding and serve it on a base of golden
orange jelly or with sweet preserved
oranges or ounces heaped over it. 1t
is also nice served on Il low crystal plat
ter with a cath of whipped cream,
tinted pink with preserved strawberry
or raspberry juice.
An especially ornamental way to
serve this pudding is in n coating of
water ice. ApricOts make one of the
most delicious ices for this purpose.
Slice II apricots, or use the same
amount of canned fruit. Add half a
pound of sugar to the apricots and
squeeze in the juice of two lemons. Mix
them well. Strain the whole througha
sieve. Add a half pint of sirup made
by boiling half a cup of sugar rapidly
for 90 minutes in half Il cup of water.
Stir the water and sugar so that the
sugar is dissolved before the boiling
point is reached. Mix the sirup and
fruit juice. Freeze the apricot ice, and
line a mold, imbedded in salt and ice,
with this apricot water ice. Press it
on the sides and fill the cavity IN the
center with the iced rice pudding. Cover
the mold and seal it up Theoretically,
rubbing butter thickly around the edges
Of the cover, so that the salt and ice
cannot penetrate within. Cove the
mold with ice and salt, pack newspa-
pers around it. and tie them over it 70
prevent the water penetrating to the
packing. Leave it for four hours or
longer; then uncove it, turn it out on
a low glass platter and decorate i with

suit the taste.-N. Y. Tribune.

ITALIAN TELLS A STORY.
sisnor Liberati Relates q Joke on ~
American Naval Omcer,

A great joke on the American navy
and on Rear Admiral Luce leaked u
the other day, after "a years. The
story was told by Signor Liberati, the
famous cornet sOloist and conductor of
various well known Liberati bands, and
who is now playing in Kansas City.
Signor Liberati remarked that the navy
has been a factor in the musical cul-
ture of America, and then explained
that American men-o-war had enlisted
young Italian musicians in their bands
when touching at Italian ports. These
youngsters were carried to America and
became bandmasterS and conductors.

TO GET INTO THE NAVY.
How a Boy May Become a United States
E!ucjacket-

How ii Boy May HeCOme a United States
E!uejacket.
When a boy wishes TO become a sailor
in the navy he applies to II of the
three 'receiying' ships. They are the
Vermont at the New York navy yard,
the Wabash at the Boston navy ward
and the Richmond at the League Island
navy yard in Philadelphia. The boys
must be between II and 16 years Of
age, sound in health and be able TO read
and write to some extent. No distinc-
tiCn is made in race. and it is 4 singular
fact that the colored boys who apply
are almost invariably able to read and
write better than the white boys. On
beard the Vermont the only reading
test applied is contained on Il card,
which is as follows:
BE it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States, in congress assembled, that
fraudulent enlistment and the receipt
of any pay or allowance hereunder
is hereby declared an offense against
naval discipline. and made punishable
by general cOurt-martial."

that if you do not tell the truth about
your age, parents or guardians. or if

CAUSES OF
Most Often Produced by a Disarranged
Liver.

Most Often Produced by q D~is8rranged
Liver.
The common headache of everyday
fife is the one we desire to call attention
to. We think we are safe in saying
that all simple acute headaches are
caused by Indigestion, which is pro.
duced by the use of inferior food or an
inability to use good food. Also al
most all chronic headaches are caused
by dyspepsia, constipation and discr-
ders of the liver, and these troubles are
very closely related. Constipation is
always associated with dyspepsia. The
liver, the greatest depuratinS organ
of the body, is Obstructed and diseased
in cases of dyspepsia. So it ought to
be understood by all who wish to be in
formed on the subject that the stom-
ach, bowels and liver belong to the
digestive system, and hat one cannot
be diseased without more or less in
volving the others. These are the blood
making Organ About one-sixth of the
blood of the body circulates in the
head, and when this blood is loaded
with impurities and improperly elab-
GRATED, then the brain and its struc-
lures are irritated and painful. This
is called headache. The depurating or
gans-the bowels, liver, skin, kidneys
and lungs-have failed to carry out the
waste of the system from some cause.
There has been too little exercise, sit
ting or working in illy-ventilated
rooms, too little or poor quality of
food. or Dartaking of too much whole

ment in business or sad and depressing
news are among the common auses OF
