FROZEN DESSERTS.
Ihree Dishes That Will BE Appreci.
ated by the Guest in Warm
Weather

For hickory nut ice cream make a
boiled custard of one pint of milk,
IA cupfuls of sugar, four eggs and
one-third of teaspoonful of salt.
When it is cold add one quart of
cream and two cupfuls of hickory nut
meats that have been powdered fine
IN a mortar: then freeze. says the
New York Tribune.
Coffee ice cream frozen in a cylin-
drical mold, with the center filled
with lemon ice. is an attractive and
delicious dessert. For the ice cream
mix two tablespoonfuls of arrowroot
with half cupful of cold milk Beat
four eggs well and mix with it. Then
beat one pint of milk and pour over
the mixture and add four cupfuls of
white sugar. When it is cool add two
quarts of cream. Put it into the
freezer, and when it is partly frozen
turn in two cupfuls of strong coffee
and freeze thoroughly. Pack it in a
cylindrical mold.
For the lemon ice mix together the
juice of six lemons, two cupfuls of
sugar and three cupfuls of water.
Strain and turn it into the freezer.
When the ice and salt are packed add
to it two cupfuls of sweet milk and
freeze at once. Fill it into the center
of the coffee ice cream.
Maple mousse is easily and quickly
made. Put one pint of maple strip
into saucepan with the yollls of
eight eggs. Stir over the fire until
the sirup thickens, then remove at
once and stir until it is cold. Fold
into it one quart of whipped cream
and pack in mold in ice and salt for

NOTES ON AUTOMOBILES.
Dangers to BE Anticipated from Nerv-
GUS Horses and Destructive
Gasoline Explosions.

The horseless carriage is of interest
to many people besides the man who
owns it. Inasmuch as it is liable to be
encountered on the highway by all
who drive or walk there, it is coming
to be commonly observed all through
the better settled portions of the coun-
try, more particularly in the neighbor-
hood of large cities and fashionable
resorts, like New York, Newport, Mar
ragansett Pier and Long Branch.
Those who are liable to meet auto
mobiles on the road have occasion to
view such vehicles with something
more than mere curiosity. Now and
then an automobile makes such a
racket as to alarm a nervous horse.
An animal that will stand serenely
near putting locomotive is not like
ly to view an automobile calmly. The
electric automobile makes rather less
noise than one which uses gasoline or
steam for propulsion, but nearly all of
them, regardless of the power en-
ployed, clank more or less. Now and
then one is as noisy as mower or
reaper; and il, in addition to having
this fault, they also emit a lot of
steam and makes kissing noise, it
will be well to keep on ones guard
while driving past them. Caution is
the more desirable, since automobiles
often run over good road at rate
of 90 or 30 miles an hour.
Automobiles which use gasoline,
either as fuel under the steam boiler
or to be exploded inside the cylinder
of regular gas engine, are obliged to
carry a supply of liquid in storage
tanks, just as so-called naphtha
launches do; and if the tanks should
leak and the escaping and rapidly va
porizing stuff should take fire there
would be an explosion. An accident
of that kind occurred in New Rochelle
harbor on a naphtha launch. and the
owners son and wife were instantly
killed. The man himself was badly in
jured, but may survive. In like man
ner an automobile at Lenox, Mass,
blew up while standing in the stable
A man standing near by was hurt, and
the building was set on fire. The
farmhandS rescued six horses and
nearly all the other carriages in the
stable before it was destroyed. Event
ually, when people acquire habits of
greater caution the automobile will be
as safe as a locomotive engine, but
while it is a novelty and is not con-
trolled by law there is some danger of
accident both to owner ana to other
people.-N. Y. Tribune.

For Piazza Visitors.

A suitable refreshment to offer to
the visitors who are glad to rest on
the piazza from the journey out OF
town is iced tea or lemonade or a
saucer of Strawberries. If you pro-
vide Strawberries, remember to leave
the hulls on. 1t is considered desir-
able to serve them that way, because
it indicates that the fruit has not re-
ceived any unnecessary handling. Use
the hull of the strawberry as a little
handle by which to lift it from the
saucer and dip it in the pile of soft
white sugar heaped in one corner OF
the plate. Use the pulverized fruit
sugar, mere powder, for the straw
berries. Have a plate of lady fingers
or rice flour plunkets ready to offer
with the fruit.-Detroit Free Press.

CUNNING AND CRAFTY.
No Animal Excels the Fox In Shrewd-
ness or in Its Ability to Take
Care of Itself.

The fox is a cunning, crafty animal.
You can see it plain enough in the
bright eyes of the little fellows in the
picture.
They are on the alert for something
possibly tender young chicken
they know is fattening in farmyard
near by.
Foxes live in burrows, which they
scoop out of the earth by the aid
of their strong digging paws, taking
advantage of every popularity of the
ground, and contriying, whenever it is
possible, to wind its subterranean
way among the roots of large trees
or between heavy stones. In these
."earths," as the burrows are called
in the sportsman phraseology, the fe-
male fox produces and nurtures her
young, which are odd little snub-
.nosed creatures, resembling almost
any animal rather than a fox. She
watches over her offspring with great
care, and teaches them, by degrees, to
subsist on animal food, which she and
her mate capture for that purpose.
The color of the common fox is a
reddish fawn, intermingled with

Possibly because there are always
plenty of rats and snakes in India,

of him, and wanted him to come and
make him home with them. In the
island of Jamaica the rats were I'M
year ate half a million dollars worth
of sugar cane in the fields and in the
sugar houses. The planters sent to
India and got five pairs of the mon
goose and turned them loose. They
were pretty little creatures, something
like weasels in asize and shape and
habits.
In less than no time they had
cleaned out the rats in Jamaica and
brought up big families that had to
be fed When the snakes were gone,
toe, the families had grown still
larger and were just as hungry as
ever. Then they got to killing little
pigs and chickens, lambs, puppies, kit
tens, birds, frogs, turtles, land crabs
and eating every sort of eggs.
These furnished only the first course
of Mr.. Mongoose's generous dinner.
For dessert he ate bananas, pineap-
pies, sweet corn, cocoanuts or any
fruit or vegetable that happened to
be in season. The people of Jamaica
would now give a good deal for some
animal that is warranted to eat the
mongoose, or the would gladly trade
off all there are on the island for
the rats they used to have.
That is the reason Uncle Sam has
tried to build law as tight and high
as a wire chicken fence all around
the coast to keep Mr.. Mongoose out.

AUTOMOBILE RULES.
In France the HOrseless Vehicle IL
Working a Revolution In Many
Departments of Life

The automobile has now thoroughly
entered into the French mode of life;
timorous persons no longer exist; the
sight of an automobile running in the
streets no longer attracts any atten-
ton; and breakdown alone causes
the gathering of a crowd, and that of
much smaller size than one that is col
lected by the falling of a horse. Odors
no longer call forth protests, since
people have got used to them. Horses
have been pleased to put themselves
upon a level with man land for this

it may be said that the Lorse, the dog,

progress made by automobilism in its
entrance into our mode of life is seen
in the theater. For example. in

A HOSPITABLE CAT.
He shares His Dainty Meals with the
Half-Starved Fence Haunters
of the NeiEhbOrhOOd.

A cat owned in Brooklyn has been
tail. AS a reward for this exercise,
before he really began to delight in
the sensation, he used to demand and
receive food on plate in the back yard.
At first no one could understand why
he refused to eat in the house, but
eventually it was noted that as soon as
he got the meal a number of homeless
cats appeared in the yard, though not
one had been in sight when the plate
was filled.
Dewey (all cats are named Dewey
now was watched, and it was learned
that no sooner was he by himself with
his food than his loud meow called
in the visitors. They were all of the
thin, half-starved class of back fence
haunters so common in cities, and Dew
ey seemed to get as much pleasure out
of feeding them as they did out of the
dinner.
It was not long before the further
discovery was made that through APP
peals to various members of the family
Dewey would get enough to satisfy
himself before he insisted on the back
porch feeding. Then his owner found
that he would pick his guests. Some of
the most disreputable cats of the sec
ton were welcome; others equally dis
reputable and equally hungry were
ruthlessly driven away.
Dewey has other peculiarities. He
likes to lie on a clean counterpart, and
the more elaborate it is the better he
is satisfied. He is also fond of all
starched goods, and willinvariably hunt
out a lawn skirt to make his bed on. if
one is incautiously left around. But
his friendship for plebeian cats is
getting himinto disrepute, and there is
pretty persistent talk about sending
him to the country, where he will have
to keep better company.-N. Y. Herald.

MONGOOSE IS BARRED.
why Uncle Sam Has Passed a Law to
Keep This Creature Out of
HIS Wide Domains.

1t is not often that the United
States congress passes a law declaring
that an animal is a dangerous nui-
sance, and forbidding all good citizens
from bringing it into the country, and
directing all officers at ports to keep
it out, in company with the Chinese
and emigrants who are likely to be-
come a burden on the people. This
has just been done to little animal
that has missed a great chance to be
a welcome visitor in every land I'M
der the sun by behaving badly when
ever it leaves home.
The animal that has made such a
bad reputation for itself that it has
been barred by Uncle Sam, is the mon
goose. 1t is native of India where
it was very useful in killing rats along
the wharves of the great seaports and
in the storehouses of grain. When it
had finished the rats it went into the
swamps and jungles after snakes.

The new prairie grass mattings are

Stopping by the Wnyside.

Bicycle riders have a right to stop
by the wtyside and leave their wheels
standing at the curb, and when so left
it is the duty of drivers to refrain
from running over or against them,
and the person so negligently injuring
a bicycle will be liable for the damage
so caused. This right must, however,
be subordinate to the necessary use
of the highway for public travel, and
there are doubtless many instances in
which the narrowness of the way or
the press of crowded street would
put the burden of proving ordinary
care on the person leaving his wheel
at the mercy of heavy traffic. The rule
is less strict with the bicycle than with
a horse and wagon, for the former is
not only smaller in bulk, but cannot
take fright and collide with others.

A Family Chain Cleaner.

A good family chain cleaner can be
made by fixing an old sprocket wheel
IN an axle attached to post or other
upright. A small tin pail should be
placed beneath the wheel, so that the
chain, when placed on the wheel. will
hang down in the pail. To clean the
chain the pail is filled with kerosene
and the chain is passed rapidly through
Il by revolving the wheel until clean.
It is then wiped dry and may be lubri-
Gated by being run through bath of
lubricating oil in the same manner.
BY this method there is no danger of
soiling either the hands or the cloth
ing, no matter how soiled the chain
may be.

CHARITY.

II were breeze of Natures making,
Freighted with GOODNESS and scent and
dew,
I never would set the tall trees shSking.
Or blow through the meadows the sum-
mer through.
But I'd leave the green, and. for very pity,
Would lift my burden of dainty scents,
And straightway fly to the crowded city,
Among the heat of the tenements.
And I'd find some poor little. pale little
child there.
Who never had known the sea of skies,
And I'd kiss her lips till left a smile there,
And another look in her tired eyes.
And Ia bring her the breath of the great
waves breaking,
And odor of pines from the open plain,
Till she would forget her brow was aching
And lift up her poor little head again.
Now don't you think this the incest way,
dear,
For breeze to act, beyond word or
doubt?
Because-there S a moral tucked away here,
If only your eyes could pick it out.

NEWEST BICYCLE TRACK.

path is condensed into a very small
space. At the same time the con-
tinual rotary movement in one direc-
ton is avoided, thus preventing dizzi-
ness. AS will be observed from the
diagram, the rider moves in steadily
decreasing curves toward the center,
and then returns over increasing
curves until he reaches the outer ter
mination of the track. The word
termination, however, is properly
speaking a misnomer, because loop
at that point carries the bicycle back
to the place of starting.-Philadel-

AN AUToM0ToR HORSE.
the Antipnthy of HOrsemen to
Mechanical Vehicles.

A French genius. NJ Emile Ian,
CREME, says British Invention, hopes
with his automotor horse to overcome
the antipathy of horsemen to self-pro-
PEELED vehicles. This equne-shaped
device contains within its body the
mechanism to propel it, and can be at
tached to any form of horse-drawn We
hicle, the steering being effected by
means of reins or rods held by the
rider or driver, the neck of the horse
being for this purpose intersected and
mounted upon ball bearings. The
reins are attached to a cross-head
mounted on a verticle spindle, to the
lower end of which are attached arms
