horse walked into the shallow water
in the slip known as Howards pocket
and slowly moved farther out into the

and missiles of the spectators on the
shore. When in about three feet OF
water the poor animal cast one wistful
look around, then deliberately put its
head under water and held it there
until life was extinct. In short time
after this the owner, a peddler, ap-

Boastful Britisher.

Bonstful Britisher.
Representative Mercer, of Nebraska,
met the late Col. John A. CoclSerill dur
ing his trip through Japan about a year
ago, says the Washington Post. Cock
erill was then acting as war correspon-
dent for the New York Herald. Repre-
sentatives of all nations gathered at
Yokohama, many of them tourists and
sthers on business. 1t was at this time
that Cockerill ran across cockney
Briton, who was boasting about the
great prowess of his country, and
making rather sighting illusions to the
United States. His remarks aroused
Cockerills war spirit, and he told the
Englishman that inasmuch as the
United States had twice whipped En-
gland it could probably do so again.
"O-ah-my deah sah!" said the
doughty Briton, you ah mistaken,
surely. If l remember the history of
my country we took yah capitol and
burned it, don't you knowP"
"Yes," said Cockerill, "you did take
the capitol. And if 1 remember the his
tory of my country you also took
Bunker Hill. But you didn't take it
very far. You let go of both of them
like q red-hot brick, and at las* ac-
counts they were still in our possession.
But let me tell you what we'll do next
time we have war with you. Well

island across the Atlantic, and haul il
up the bay to New York for wharf. ii

handle being tied with bright yellow
satin ribbons. The table center is of
yellow brocade, cut in star shape and
bordered with narrow silver gallon.

tanning salted almonds and bonbons are
placed at the point of the star-shaped
center.-Philadelph Inquirer.

SUMNER DESSERTS.
Dainty Cold Dishes That Are Suitable fer
the Torrid Season.

When certain tropical vagaries on
the part of the weather have made or
binary dishes seem unpalatable, the
housewife will find that the simplest
way to reconcile her family to the din
ner table is by providing dainty des-
serts. There are hundreds of simple
combinations that may be effectively
revived at this season of the year.
One of the most delicious is a simple
rice pudding, frozen. Only half cup
full of rice is required, but this should
be boiled until tender. Then whip to
a froth 11s cupfuls of sweet cream, add
u quarter of n cupful of powdered sugar
and flavor with sherry, maraschino or
vanilla. Mix the rice and cream, pul
in mold, and pack in freezer several
hours before serving.
Cooks who know the possibilities of
the often despised rhubarb make use
of it for an excellent summer dessert.
Wash and cut in small pieces a pound
of rhubarb. Cook until tender, sweet
ening meanwhile with eight ounces Of
sugar. Then add one-fourth of a box
OF gelatine that has been soaked in a
fourth of cupful of cold water. Whip
the mixture well, turn into mold and
when cold serve with yellow custard
sauce.
Fruit desserts are not only popular,
but healthful, and should be served
frequently in warm weather. Oranges
are available in variety of ways, or
ange sponge being particularly deli
cious. To prepare the sponge, squeeze
the juice and pulp of three oranges into
bowl, add the juice of half lemon,
three ounces of sugar, ~ pints of cold
water. After this has boiled, strain it,
add two tablespoonfuls of corn starch
dissolved in cold water, and boil fifteen
minutes more. Then set the mixture
aside for time, and afterwards place
it in the ice-box until quite cold. Beat
to foam the whites of three eggs, whip
this into the corn starch and then serve
| in fancy caSes.-N. Y. World.

WOMAN AND HOME.
BABY's RUBBER TUB.

The Latcst Contrivnnce TO Find Its Way
Into the Tyrant's Den
The modern baby-that is, the silver
spoon-in-the-mouth type of the species
lis the best groomed, most luxurious
little animal eXtant to-day.
His wee realm over which he sways
the scepter of absolute autocracy and
exercises a will power beside which
hypnotism pales, approaches the Mos
lem heaven in the sybaritic luxury of
its appointments. For many and con-
stant are the requirements of n thor
oughly up-to-date baby, and the nurs-
cry, into whose hushed and sacred pre-
cincts none but mammals bosom friends
are ever admitted, is literally lined
with the trophies of inventive genius
and artistic skill which have been inn
pressed into service to conduce to baby's
comfort and happiness.
But once you find the open sesame to
his exclusive "den' and set foot upon
the magic threshold you will find baby's
quarters 'study" in both mechanical
md decorative art, while not lacking
in interest as financial problem. Yes,
baby things come high, and the array
set forth in an up-to-date nursery would
quite appall us were we to count the
cost of the several articles. but we don't,
for there is nothing too good for that
little soft mite of humanity; and SO it
happens that inventive genius has been
pushed to the limit and can seemingly
go no further in devising nursery and
toilet articles dainty enough, soft
enough and expensive enough with
which his infantile highness may be
suitably groomed. A late contrivance
which has found it's way into his bower
of diaphanous laces, clouding pillows
and pillows of palest blue-baby's own
color-is a new kind of bathtub, and
when we behold it in its ideal perfec-
tion and simplicity we can only wonder
that it has not been thought of years
ago, for it promises to do more to in
sure luxurious comfort and lessen the
probability of n ''squall" on the per-
fumed waters of baby's bath than any
thing yet invented.
The accompanying cut will give an
idea of it's construction. 1t is sim
plicity itself, being, in fact, nothing
more nor less than n hammock of pure
white deodorized rubber cloth, swung
between two racks of light bamboo

Roger Bacon was the first TO suggest
the use of spectacles. When they came
into use in Italy, about the year 1885, on
the recommendation of Alessandro di
Spina, monk of Pisa, women were
forbidden to wear them, because it was
thought that such facial ornamental
ton would make them vain.
