ready for use.
While cucumbers are plentiful it is well
to have thick slices of the sotteSt, with

USES OF ATHLETICS.
They Tend to the announcement of
Manly Qualities.

Albert Tyler, in Lippincott.
College athletics give discipline and self
mastery that are invaluable; the students
who take part persistently in these eXer-
cises arc taught control of their appeutes.
The dietary regimen in the training season
the student is taught that indulgence IN al
cohol or tobacco. or other forms OF dlsslpa-
ton is fatal to his ambition TO excel; self
control is thus impressed early upon MIN,
and his character is strengthened. Parucu-
larly in football a man who loses his tenn
per is ruled out of the game.
College athletics are a safety valve: the
energies of the students are bound to tlnd
an outlet. By the strong exercises or the
gymnasiums and of the various games
these energies are naturally called forth
so that the tendency of late hours and to
dissipation is largely diminished.
College athletics have generally as Is 10
be expected far more gentlemanly and
manly tone than those that may be called
professionals furthermore. they are less
slangy and sporty than they We're rev

About strawberries.

New York Tribune.
The strawberry rs one of those fruits
which loses so much aroma and flavor while
cooking that it should be served fresh
whenever possible.
The best of strawberry tarts are filled
with fresh fruit. They are really straw
berry patties, heaped with whipped cream.
The best preserved strawberries come
from Wiesb Aden, Germany. Germans de-
clare that their superiority lies in the SUI
perior juices of the German berry, but the
zeal secret probably consists in the care
taken to select perfectly firm yet perfectly
ripe berries and to cook them but Tor an
instant in a syrup made of strawberry juice
and sugar. Prepare the syrup, allowing
cup of sugar to a pint of juice. Let II neat
until the sugar is melted, stirring constant
ly, but do not let it boil. Set 1t back OH the

them with perfectly ripe, sound fruit, and
cover the fruit with syrup. Close the cans
and oren the vent. Set them III warm
water let the water come to the bolllng
point around them, and boil for lVe MN
utes. Close the vent and as soon as IL IS
done take out the cans. Exclude the nght
at once from glass cans and set them away
in a dark closet as soon as they are cold.
Take care to keep the cans in a closet of
uniform temperature. A cellar closet where
the temperature does not rise above seven
ty degrees is a good place Strawberries
are always difficult to keep. Do not can
them until the supply of domestic berries
is at it's height-about June 10. 1t is doubt
full VIII sther there is any economy in BUY
ing berries in market to can. Where they
can be picked in the garden and canned
fresh from the vines there is more chance
of every can keeping through the warm
summer weather, which is destructive to

For the Stout Women.

New York Ledger.
We who turn the scale a long distance
above the $50 mark are able to realize
what thin people never can-that while
fashion processes allegiance to women of
all classes, this capricious dame is given to
the grossest faVoritism, and rarely designs
anything for the woman who, disliking the
idea of being fat, compromises with her
pride and her avoirdupois by calling herself
rather stout. Somebody has declared that
a certain waist measure must not be ex
ceeded and straightway the tieshy woman
often begins TO lace herself with the idea
of getting herself into some sort OF shape
as she expresses it; In this she makes 5,ia

the waist line it swells out both above and
below the corset.
There is nothing so important to the stout

distribution of her aVoirdupois. II she Will

Many of the details of the work are famil-

at all in this line gave it special emphasis
and interest. A late plan formulated by
