there is no more confirmed GROWER than

An Artist without Hands.

In the London Magazine Of Art there
are some interesting examples Of designs
for frieze, hammered metal and head
and tail pieces drawnby an artist with
out hands-Mr. Bartram Hiles, anative
of Bristol. When Mr.. Hiles was years
of age, he was deprived of both his arms
through tram car accident. Before this
terrible event he had developed strong
passion for drawing, SO strong that the
loss Of his arms in no way diminished
his ambition to become an artist. 1t &C.

would be overcome if he could educate

for brushes were not yet hoped for. He
accordingly set to work with courage
and enthusiasm, and in short time, by
dint of persistent practice and persever-
ance, he found that he could write leg
ibly and draw with firmness of line.
Not more than two years after his ac-
cidcnt Mr. Hiles obtained first class

LONG HEAoyo LINCOLN.
An Anecdote Showing How He Looked
Into the Future.

Perhaps no anecdote ever told of Mr..
Lincoln illustrates more forcibly his ''long
medicines" in laying plans, not even thas
incident when he asked the ledge" a
question in his debate with Mr.. Douglas,
which may be told as follows:
One afternoon during that joint debate
Mr. Lincoln was sitting with his friends
planning the programme when he was OBJ
served TO go off In a kind of reverie and Tor
some time appeared totally oblivious 10
everything alCUrd him Then slowly
bringing his right hand up. holding II n
moment In the air and then letting il fall
with quick slap upon his thigh, he said

he always called him 1.-THE jedge IA ques-
ton tonight, and don't care the ghost of
continental which way he answers it, If
he answers II one way it will lose him the
sonatorship If he answers it the other
way, it will lose him the presidency -
NO ono asked him what the question
was, but that evening it was the turn for
Mr. Douglas TO speak first and, right in
the midst Of his address. all at once Mr..
Lincoln reused up as if new thought
had suddenly struck him and said.

one question:"

Again Douglas tried to evade, but Lin
coin would not be put off, and he insisted
| that a direct answer should be given. A

would have their way by some means o
other.
Mr.. Lincoln said no more. He had Sc

Nnveltx In Cloth Printing.

Cloth printing so managed that the
two sides are of entirely different pat
tern, is among the recent achievements
of the dyers art. The two faced effect
is produced by first dyeing the entire
fabric through and through OF single
color. The goods are then finished in the
usual fashion. They are afterward passed
over rollers, which are engraved with
fine lines running diagonally in both
directions. A careful adjustment of the
pressure Of the roller carrying the dye
is made, thus preventing the color from
striking through. The secret of success
in this lies in the careful adjustment
and in the accurate regulation OF the
quantity of color applied. There must
be just enough to go half way through
the cloth, but no more. The results are
very satisfactory and will be particular
ly pleasing on heavy fabrics, as by this
means they will give the effect of lin
ings Of different colors from the outside.

THE BEST ICE CREAM.
Is Made by Scalding Half the Cream and
Not Freezing 1t TOO Quickly.


"Good, pure cream, ripe fruit, or the
best canned fruit in winter, and granulat-
cd sugar, make Il perfect ice cream, writes
Mrs. 5. L. Rorer, in The Ladies' Home
Journal. Good ice cream cannot be
made without good freezer-one work
ing easily with side crank and double
revolving dasher. Scald half of the cream
and dissolve in it the sugar, This will
prevent the cream from churning to but
ter. When raw cream is frozen, it has a
frothy, snowy taste, the taste of the flavor
ing is not prominent and it is neither
smooth nor velvety in appearance. After
the mixture is prepared, before turning 1T
into the freezing can, see that the latter is
in good order. Adjust the dasher fasten
on the crank and give it a turn to see that
all is right. Remove it for moment,
pour in the mixture and readjust. A four
quart freezer will require 20 pounds OF ice
and one quart of coarse rock salt Put
layer of salt in the bottom of the tub, then
a layer of ice about three inches in depth,
another layer of salt, another of ice, and
so on to the top of the can. Turn the
crank slowly and steadily until 1t begin;
to require force
If the can is properly packed, the cream
will require from 10 to 20 minutes &c
freeze. Cream frozen too quickly is not
smooth The length of time required de
ponds entirely upon the packing, not upor
the freezer The moro salt is used the less
time will be required for freezing, the
more quickly the ice melts the more quick
ly will the heat be drawn from the cream
Water ices require more time for freezing
than ice creams.
