COFFEE DESSERTS.
They Are Not Only Delicious, But Very
Easily Prepared.

Easily Prepared.
Coffee is the most delicious favorins
for summer desserts. The essence OF
coffee, which is used, is easily pre-
pared, but should always Ibe fresh. Th,
secret of flavoring with coffee lies il
having this essence SO fresh and pure
that it has the delicious aroma of 6

and put it in a small saucepan with
cup of cold water. Let the fluid bOi!

spoonfuls. Strain it through a cloth
pressing it well; let it cool, and it is
ready for use.
\ coffee mousse" is a most delicious
iced dessert, and is prepared without
the trouble in freezing which an ice.
cream involves. This mousse is made
rich cream in a bowl. Fill a pan with
chopped ice, place the bowl in the pan,
and begin to beat the cream with a fine
wire whip. Beat slowly at first, ther
faster, until it is fine, firm froth
When it is all frothed, add tIIo table
spoOnfuls of powdered sugar and three
tablespoonfuls of coffee essence, and
beat them together well. Put the
mousse in a long, slender mold, and
cover it tightly, sealing the edge OF
the cover with mutton tallow. and
pack it away in a pail covered with
cracked ice and rock salt. Three quarts
of salt are sufficient for a pailful of ice
The mousse should be packed away
for about six hours. If the mold ii
large in diameter, it may be opened
once and the frozen parts removed
from the sides with a knife. If the mold
is slender, it should be left undisturbed
a coffee mousse makes a most attractive
desert if served with a clear red sherry
ice heaped around it.
For coffee custard, boil a quart o.
milk and add two taDlespoonfuls OF
coffee essence. Add five yolks of egg1

FREAKS OF FORTUNE.
Windfslls That Came Unexpectedly to
Those Who Needed Them.


While most people find it very hard to
acquire even a modest competency,
others are more lucky, and to them
fortunes come without even the ask
ing. Several such instances have oc-
Cured of late years, some of them of
an interesting character. 1t was only
short while since that a poor rag
picker in birmingham suddenly found
himself man of wealth. BY dint of
working from dawn till late at night
he had been in the habit of making the
not very exorbitant income of 81. so per
week. One morning he heard from
firm of solicitors in London, who re-
quested him to call, when he would
learn something to his advantage. He
found that long-lost brother who
had made money in Australia had re-

At Tamworth, England, tobacconist
has unexpectedly found himself the
heir to a baronetcy For some time
past he has been in receipt of 25 shil-
lings 6 pence week, having served as
sergeant in the Suffolk regiment; but,
| finding this sum inadequate, he took a
tobaccopist shop at Tamworth, and
was apparently contented with his lot,
when he awole to find himself bar

A schooner which went ashore off
the American coast with 1900 tons of
coal being abandoned by her owners
was sold for $40 Some 400 tons of
coal had been got out of the hull, when
suddenly the vessel slid off the rock
and sank in deep water, only, however,
to float again the next morning and
drift with the tide right into port. 1t
seems that sufficient coal had ratified
| through the holes in her bottom to let
| the hull come again to the surface with
some 300 tons of coal still in it. AS the
vessel then stood she was worth So, 900
or more to those who bought it for $40.

who lately inherited 9l6,OOO from an
elderly aunt at once began to look
about for some outlet for spending the
money quickly. At length the craze
for building speculation seized him
and he built houses wherever sites
were obtainable. He went on in this
way for some time, when his mind be.
came unhinged and he was found one
day walking around his newly-built

How to Remove Cinders.

When travelling always carry a tiny
bcx of fiaXseed for possible cinders, is
the advice given by medical journal
The instant foreign substance is felt
in the eye throw back the head and dro2
two or three t1aXseeds on the ball of the
eye, and lift the upper lid and draw it
down over them, so as to hold them in.
There is no disagreeabIe sensation at
tached to putting the seed in, and the
relief will come instantly. The mois-
ture of the eye dampens the seed, and it
gives out mucous substance which
spreads over the eye and covers the
grit After awhile the seeds will begin
to work out, and will bring the Offend
ing particle with them.

ROAD THAT is NEVER TOO LONG.

A ROAD THAT IS NEVER TOO LONG.
IN the transportation methods there has
been little or no reform in road trans
portation, which is at the beginning of
ali movement of commodities and of
persons. Railway travel to-day is
greatly improved over what it was q
quarter of a century ago. Steamship
transportation has been made more
luxurious and cheaper. Yet the aver
:ce country road of to-day is no better,
and in many places worse, than it was
in the days of our fathers. We have
faster horses; we have vastly more ele
giant and comfortable carriages; but
we are content to work our horses and
rack our vehicles over the same sort Of
highway that served for the old two
wheeled cart.
Moreover, there is reason to believe
that the amount of time and money
spent in keeping up the roads would, il
properly expended, produce better re
suits than are now obtained. Railways
are built by engineers and experts, ac,
cOrding TO MISUNDERSTOOD systems
Every improvement that can be devised
is applied to all the railways as soon as
it satisfies the test of experience. The
builders of steamships do not adhere to
the old methods day longer than they
are known to be the best. But in max
ing of the highway there is as yet in this
country very little attempt to apply the
latest and best methods, or to utilize
the skill of experts.
Road reform is one of the needs of the
day. The mission has nothing sensa
tional or thrilling about it, but it con
tains the promise of large saving in
horses and money, and in the tissues of
men and women. 1t promises cheaper
transportation, increased travel by
road, more life and stir in the country
places and a new extraction to rural
life.-St John On. b. Sun.
