Some receipts use two quarts of water for one large pineapple, but of course a large part of the fruit is lost on account of the tough, stringy fiber.
 Orange Sherbet.-This is probably the original Arabic sherbet, only probably combined with wine and served with ''snow from the mountain tops," as the romance writers say.

 A TURKISH DAINTY.
The Sherbet in Its Varied and Delightful
 Forms.

Forms.
 Whatever may be the faults, or even crimes, of the Turks, we owe them thanks for one of our most delicious summer refreshments-the sherbet. F. was sherbet that gave delight to the feasts of Saladin, Haroun Al Raschid and the royal lover who designed the exquisite Tai Mahal; in fact, it is asso- cated with all the romance and luxury of Moslem life.
 It may be varied with every kind of fruit and served as it's Arabic name sig nifies, as beverage, or frozen into solid form more usual with us. The following receipts give some of these varieties:
 A Green Sherbet-Cut eight stalks of rhubarb in small pieces; cook slowly with water (one quart) until perfectly tender. The grated rind of a lemon or little lemon juice may be added, and three ounces of granulated sugar. Strain when it is perfectly cool, and freeze
 A Sherbet for Invahds.--Have ready one quart of strong clarified meat stock. Boil together two pounds of sugar and one and one-half pints of water, at first slowly, so that the sugar may dissolve perfectly, and let it stay at the boiling point five minutes. Add when cool three cupfuls of lemon juice and the meat stock. Skim and strain and serve cold.
 Cream Sherbet.-Three quarts of water and juice of four lemons and one ounce of sugar. mixed together Beat to froth the whites of six eggs, one pint of sweet cream and one ounce of sugar. When stiff mix with the water and lemon juice, and freeze. Oranges or oranges and lemons, mixed in the proportion of three to one, may be used instead of lemons alone. This is Vir- ginia receipt.
 Pineapple Sherbet-E Either the fresh or the canned pineapple may be used. Tear apart with a fork or chop fine one pineapple and beat with potato

the way Of protection on sugar and
rice. The Senate committee has re-
ported the new tariff bill and the
sugar trust has been especially we'll

could never go back on the trusts
for they can always be depended
npon to put up the Doodle to bride
and debauch the gullible idiots who
are caught by the clap trap dished
cut in the way of argument By these
friends of the people. The sugar
cane grower gets a very small sod
and the immense advantage given to
the trust enables it to control the
market and dictate the price to be
paid him for his cane or sugar. The
trust has secured in the Senate just
those advantages it desired. 1t viii
have an advantage of sixteen and a
half points, more than was given in
the Dingley bill; and by securing
ad valorem rates, for which it has
~contended all along, it leaves a fine
opening for fraud on the government

is specially in the interest of thu
trust, and opposed to those of the
government, which can be easily de
frauded by differentiation.
