BUSINESS AT NIGHT.
Sure Of Doing His Best
Work.

Every business man of common
sense knows, whether he chooses to
acknowledge it or not that the far
ther away he gets in the evening from
his commercial associations during
the day, so that his business asso-
ciates or thoughts of it or them can
not get at him, the healthier he is,
the wiser life he leads; in short, the
better off he is in every respect, and
the ADLER for the duties of the NOR
row. writes Edward Box of 'The
American Man and the Country" in
Ladies' Home Journal. snow, what
does he get in the city in the evening,
even if he lives a carefully regulated
life? There is no mode of life he can
possibly follow which is in any way
recuperative to his mental or physical
being. He has never been out of hear
ing of the noises of the city or out of
the range of its lights. Every night
he has slept in the polluted air of the
city, and in the morning has looked
out on the gray sidewalks which he
sees all day long. What does such a
man know of the e~xhilarating, re.
freshing and blood-quickening expe-
rience of opening the shutters of his
chamber window upon a landscape of
space and sunshine? And what is
far worse, what do his wife and chill
dren know of such a blessing? Yet
he deludes himself into the belief that
he must live in the city SO as to be
in touch with things If you ask
him what those things are, you in-
vaTiably discover that they are Of q
business nature, either strictly bust
ness or some social convention which
he feels has a bearing on his business.
But it is always business, business!
Now, a man living under this pres
r rarely does his best work, ale
though he fully believes that he is
doing it. But he cannot be giving
out the best because he does not ale
low the best to get within HIM"

FREEZING ICE CREAM.
some Points That VIII Materially
Aid Those Who Make Their
own Cream.


The question is often asked: Can ice
cream be frozen rapidly? Machines of
different kinds which accomplish this
work in five minutes or less are offered
for sale, and there is no doubt that
they will, if used according to direc-
tions, accomplish their purpose. In
fact, says the New York Tribune, any
frst-class ice cream freezer, if packed
in the same way, will do the same
thing. 1t requires no special freezer
to do this. No ice cream freezer will
freeze cream to a smooth, creamy, v
consistency such as the best ice cream
should possess in less than ten min
utes, with the time taken for whip
ping, beating and packing it down,
for the period of rest in the freezer
which such a cream should have before
it is served. There are at least half
a dozen varieties Offices. Some of these
require rapid freezing; some slower
freezing. Some are rough, like a "gran-
ite," others messy like a mousse,
others simply solidifed, like a sherbet
or water ice, and some creamy, though
firm, like an ice cream. Any first
class ice cream freezer made of the
best materials, as any of those which
have been tested Ny time are made,
will do all this. 1t will freeze a cream
quickly, when it will be rough as q
granite should be, or more slowly, al
lowing time for opening and scraping
the sides of the can and beating the
frozen and unfrOzen mixture together
to make a smooth, creamyice. Anyice
cream should rest after it is frozen
in the packing of ice and salt around
it, covered from the air, at least two
hours. 1t does no harm if it rests six
hours. A great many ices, especially
fruit ices, are now frozen frappe.
These are especially grateful served
in the evening of a hot day in little
glasses. They are sometimes served
at dinners after the roast course. In
preparing any of these ices, remem-
Der to use abundance of fruit juice.
The fruit juice in some cases cannot be
diluted with water in the least, but
must be used pure. Each one of the va
riety of ices is differently treated when
of ices is differently treated when
frozen, and owes its special excellence
as much to the process Of freezing as
to the process of preparation; there
fore, the most minute directions for
freezing it viii be given. Any good
irst-class freezer, even a long slender
can of tin, properly packed in a pail
Of ice and salt, viii do the work of
freezing any Of these different ices if
the directions we intend to give are
carefully carried out.

SUGGESTIONS AND DREAMS.
Finding the Clew to a PuzzIIng ant
Terrifying Vision Ia Not
Difficult.

eff we could only remember" said
a New Orleans druggist, in the New
Orleans Times-D democrat, II am con,
vinced we could trace all our dreams
no matter how fantastic, to some sug
gestion received shortly before going
to sleep, 1 have often amused my.
self by searching for the clew to some
puzzling vision and in a great many
cases I have succeeded in finding it.
my most curious experience oc.
Cured at the residence of my brother
in Montgomery, whom I visit two OF
three times q year. I always occupy
the same spare room and have occa.
sionally been troubled there by a very
peculiar nightmare. The incidents Of
the dream were wild and incoherent
like all Nightmares, and varied great.
ly; but they had one feature in com.
mon-the central figure was almost
invariably a strange old man, with a
long pointed beard and hair that
stood up at the sides of his head in a
sort of disheveled brush. This man
was sure to appear in some connec
ton at the climax of the dream, and
always inspired me with the greatest
terror, although 1 cannot remember
that he ever seemed to threaten OF
pursue me.
Il never saw anyone resembling
him in life and was deeply puzzled
to know how the conception origin
ated in my brain. On my last visit
to Montgomery 1 solved the problem.
I was having my face and hands, pre-.
paratory to going to bed, when I hap.
pened to look closely at the wallpa.
per, and 10 and behold! there was my
little old man, repeated hundreds Of
times in the design. It was one Of
those sprawling, old-fashioned pat
terms in which you may find almost
anything you look for, and two of the
ornamental scrolls joined in such a
manner as to make the exact outline
of the face I had seen in my dreams.
The picture was evidently purely ac.
cidental, but, once seen, it dominated
everything else, and I suppose my
mind took unconscious note of the
grotesque profile to call IT up again
in sleep. Since then I have not had
the dream. Possibly my discovery
robbed the impression of its power tc
terrify.n.

telling by Candie-The "sin-EateFh"
OF wales stiH In Vogue
in England.

The custom of selling by CANDLE
an ancient ceremony-stin prevails in
several towns in England, notably ut
Aldermaston. 1t is letting land, not
selling, however, and the property is q
piece of meadow, the church acre."
which was bequeathed some centuries
ago to the church. The custom or cere-
mony is as follows: Acandle is lighted,
and one inch below the flame is duly
measured off, at which point a pin is
inserted. The bidding then commences
and continues until the incho of candleis
consumed and the pin drops. To the
one who is bidding as the pin drops out
the land belongs. Every three years
this ceremony is performed, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. .
At Chedzoy the church acre is let
every q years by this means, and at
Tatworth a sale by I~ghtedlcandle takes
place every year. At Warrior the graz
ing rights upon the roadside have been
annually let by the same means, a Gus
tom which has been observed since the
time of George III. The m who pre-.
sides at the auction produces the old
book containing the record of the annu,
al lettings since 1915. An ordinary
candle is then cut into five equal por.
tions, about one-half inch long, one for
each lot. At the last auction, attention
was drawn to the fact that the sporting
rights over the old gravel pit were in.
cluded in lot /, but unfortunately there
were no fish in the pond. "Get on, gen.
tlemen, please; the lights burning"
was a frequent ex~hortation.
At funerals in some parts of Wales
there is a curious custom. Apoor per.
son is hired-'a long, lean, ugly, La,
mentable rascal''-to perform the du.
ties of s~in-eater. Bread and beer are
passed to the man. over the corpse, OF
laid on it; these he consumes, and by
the process he is supposed to take on
him all the sins of the deceased andf free
the person from walking after death
When a sin-eater is not employed
glasses of wine and funeral biscuits are
given to each bearer across the coffin
The people believe that every drop Of
wine drunk at a funeral is a sin com.
mitted by the deceased, but that BY
drinking the wine the soul of the dead
is released from the burden of the sin
In some places it is the custom tG
send to the friends of a family, after 6
death, a bag of biscuits with the cardo1
the deceased. These funeral biscuits
often small, round sponge cakes-were
known as arvel bread-arvel meaning
ale. When arVel bread ispassed around
at a funeral each guest is expected tc
put a shilling on the plate.

that justiies its being termed red
should not, it is said, wear pink, red or
bright yellow under any Circumstances,

tones in her hair and present an unbe-

pR1LLs OF FASHION.
Pretty Trlaes That Go to Make
UP the Modal Coa-
tumea.

FLUFFY berufHed and oyerttrimmed
parasois have become SO common that
the only possibility Of distinctive ele-
gance in this article of dress lies in
its simplicity, Perfectly plain silk in
any pretty color which harmonizes
with the costume is in good style, but
whatever decoration there is must be
dainty and unusual in some way. The
latest novelty is hand painted with one
bunch of flowers, or one butterfly on
one side done in either lighter or dark
er colors than the silk. The prettiest
example Of a hand-painted p%arasol is
nj of white crepe de chine decorated
with delicate garlands Of pomponroses
and small incrustations of lace. Sum
shades Of spotted foulard or linen are
very popular for morning use, while
those of plaid silk with fringe on the
edge are well up in the list Of novel
ties. Other foulard parasols show van
dykes of lace insertion with a band Of
black velvet ribbon around the edge.
Rows of fine gold braid sewn on a band
Of pale blue silk form the border on
another parasol, and some of the pretty
new ones have gimps of tucks for their
only trimming. Something decided
and pronounced without being snowy
or fussy is the latest style, says the New
York Sun.
Louisine and tafeta silks under a
new name, or rather series of names,
are the popular silks Of the moment.
Favrile, and the diamantine, which
shows the prettiest changeable effects,
are both taffetas with new names, and
then there is a pretty new silk canvas
which reminds one of the sewing silk
grenadine.
Sashes of China silk tied at the back
with loops turning up in the old-fash-
Toned way are worn with muslin gowns.
Enameled jewelry has come back to
us again more beautiful than ever, and
the special chic thing is shown in the
belt buckles, either turquoise blue, en-
erald green or red, oval in shape and
quite plain if you like. Some of them
are ornamented in fligree designs or
with flowers and birds.
Hats of all kinds, shapes and condi-
tions are in fashion, but the latest
thing from Paris is a m~odernized poke,
trimmed with a large bow of ribbon,
silk or velvet and one, two or three
small punches of roses well forward on
the brim. The crown is medium high,
tapering a little toward the top, and
the brim, dropping in the back, is ma
~nipUlated in curves to suit the face and
raised a little underneath at one side
with a short band and small bow.
Reports of soft, full hat strings of
tulIe embroidered in coIors on the ends
come to us from Paris, but the Amer
lean woman has not adopted them yet.

in New York on a recent Sunday aft

Washington commercial traveller, ac-
cording to the Star, tiny attention
was attracted by the conversation Of
two men standing at my elbow. It is
pretty hard to size up correctly a man
in the big metropolis by his appear
ancc, and these men may have been
clerks or store porters. They were
discussing the identity of a tall, stout
man who mad just entered from the
street.
