Ic. cream with Variations.

Most families welcome a dessert of
ice cream on a hot day, and once the
habit of preparing it is established ii
is the easiest of desserts to make, and
the varieties obtainable are endless.
The plain cream Is liked by most peo-
pie better than the cooked custard. To
make it use three pints of cream to one
pint of milk, and one and threeNquar-
ters cups of sugar. Scald the milk, melt
the sugar in it, and when 1t Is cool add
the mixture to the cream. If vanilla is
the flavor required, add tablespoonful
of the extract or of the pounded vanilla
bean, sugar; if lemon, tablespoonful
of the extract. For pistachio ice cream
blanch and pound to a paste three
quarters of cup of pistachio nuts and
one-quarter CT a cup of almonds. Any
fruit may be used, such as strawber
ries. peaches, raspberries, pineapples,
cherries, apricots and bananas, by
mashing them thoroughly and adding
them after the cream is partly frozen;
for coffee three-quarters quart of
cream. emitting the milk in the fore
going rule.
Chocolate flavor may be obtained by
melting two squares of chocolate and
stirring it smooth in a little of the
milk and adding to the milk cream
and sugar.
MacarOons, cocoanut cakes, brown
bread, almonds and walnuts all make
delicious changes. The macaroons,
cakes and bread should be dried,
Drowned In the oven and rolled fine.
The nuts should be chopped fine. About
two cupfuls of any one of them would
be needed for the recipe given. Shred
ded pineapple, chopped fine, or the
fresh frluit grated can be added the
same as other fruits. With the fruit,
coffee or chocolate, sweetening must be
added to suit the taste. but it must be
remembered that the mixture will
seem sweeter before 1t is frozen than

The Chinese Hou.ekeeper.

The Chinese minister to the United
States is doing more than all his pred
ecessorS combined TO enlighten the
people of this country upon the Gus
toms and characteristics of the people
Of his own race. In a recent address
before young ladies' seminary in the
east he stated that In China "a lady
who is the mistress of an establish
ment has her household duties just like
an American woman of good position.
From her point of view housekeeping
tasks are in no way derogatory or be-
meath attention. She has general su-
perintendence over domestic affairs,
including the management of the serv-
ants, and, although she does not inter-
fere commonly with the kitchen de-
partment, she gives general directions
and on occasions instructs the cook as

OF food supplies. She never goes to

Laundering Dainty shirt Waist.

Tile dainty shirt waist is something
that few women care to intrust to the
tender mercies of the laundry. The
home laundress will not find the task
of ironing shirt waists so arduous If
she will provide herself with some of
the fitments that come especially to aid
her in this work. In all the house fur
nishing stores can now be found a
special equipment of irons. There are
small ones for the sleeves and larger
ones. with long. slender noses, for the
waist proper, where the gathers at the
belt and neck make ironing difficult.
All are an improvement on the ordina-
ry irons and will give better results.

For Mo.autto Bites.

Mosquito bites are often rank poison,
especially upon the delicate flesh of
children. 1t has lately been scientific
ally proved that the long proboscis OF
this pest may carry germs from decay
ing matter into it's victim, thus pro-
ducing malaria or n species of blood
poison. Where exposure is impossible
TO avoid, discomfort is obviated by rub
bing the exposed parts with mixture
of one part of oil Of sassafras with five
parts of proof alcohol. Every three or
four hours a slight rubbing must be
repeated. The mixture does not stain,
nor is it unpleasant.
The bites of mosquitoes and spiders,
unless the latter be of an unusually
virulent type, can be antidoted by an
immediate application of a paste of
baking soda and water. Salt will an
swer in most cases, and listerine Is
good. Should the bitten part seem
angry and swollen diluted carbolic acid
will antidote the poison. Scientists
have also proved that dangerous dis
orders like yellow fever have been
carried from an i'll to a well person,
and it is supposed that contagious dis
orders unaccountably taken frequently
originate in the same way.

Woman Suffrage uncon.titutional


A dispatch to the Chicago Times
Herald from Ottumwa, Ia, says that
the cause of woman suffrage has suf-
fered a reverse by a decision handed
down by Judge Frank w. Eichelberger
in an injunction case recently brought
by citizens of Ottumwa against the
city council and city officers of that
city. Some time ago Andrew Carnegie
offered the city $4,000 for 4 public
library on the condition that the city
guarantee $1,000 annually for its sup
port. According TO the statute, women
were permitted to vote on the PROPOSE
ton to accept or reject the offer. By
the women's vote it carried. Oppo-
.nents of the measure began injunction
proceedings, and Judge Eichelberger
has announced his decision, as above
stated, on the ground that the constf-
tuition does not recognize as voters any
except male adult citizens. The deci-
sion is an important one. and as it is
the first case of the kind in the state It
may be carried to the supreme court.

he is wise he will not misconstrue the
motives which encompa ;sed this re-
suit He has been elected, but with
warning. AS The Record has shown,
the distinguishing feature of the cam

Has Disappeared.

w. A. Berry, or ftescOtl. Was UT town yesterday seeking information of his father. who in company with his daughter and her husband, left Nevada, Mo-, in the latter part of April for Arizona. They travelled by team and reached Las Vegas in June, where the party separated, Mrs. NJ. A. Tucker, the daughter, and her husband re- maining in that place but afterward going to Albuquerque. where Mr. Tucker found employment as d bar tender for the Southwestern Brewery. and where they now are. The old gentleman resumed his journey alone on horseback, with the intention of joining his son at Prescott. A letter was received from the father dated at Gallup on June 26, stating that he expected to reach Prescott about July l5. Since that time nothing has been heard from him, and diligent search has resulted in finding no trace of him. A letter from the daughter in Albu- querque to her brother in Prescott states that the father was killed by Indians in Arizona. but no date is furnished as to inc time or probable place of the killing. The father left considerable property in Missouri, and hi, sudden disappearance is considered by the son as entirely unaccountabe. He does not believe that his father was killed by Indians. nor does any of the officers that he has consulted along the line of the railroad. and the son is inclined to think that he wandered away from the road and perhaps perished from hunger or thirst. In any event the son is exceedingly anxious to obtain some trace of his father.
