Works of Creation Are Being
Constantly Repeated.

Islands are formed in several ways.
says DR.. Charles c. Abbott, in St.
Nicholas, and if large are generally
looked upon as fairly permanent fea-
lures of the earth's surface; but occa-
s~ionally they disappear. and We are sur
prised at the history their destruction
reveals. One such island, upon which
I played when a boy, had no appear
ance of being otherwise than a part
of the mainland around which the wa
ter had worked its way: but the truth
was revealed when the soil was re-
moved and the core of the island proved
to be a stranded tree. 1t was clear
that a very long time ago some great
freshethad uprooted and carried down
stream a large tree, and that it had
lodged at some shallow spot. No soon
er was it an obstruction to the free
flowing of the water than it began
catching drifting material, and this
securely lodged was an additional
check to the progress of anything
floating. Such a barrier DOR begins
to collect sand about it, and the
growth of an island is then begun.
In the sand lodge seeds of water
plants, and these rank growths, if
submerged species, check the current
and cause floating particles to sink;
and later taller plants. like wild rice,
spatter dock and arrow head, take
root and flourish. Thus, by various
modes the soil is accumulated, or, as
l said. the island grows. Then the
seed OF some tree lodges, and a maple,
a willow or a water birch takes root

history of some of the islands in our

Fairbanks was so impressed with the
value of the work that she withdrew
her refusal, and now her elegant resi-

philanthropic interests.

THE CORE OF THE ISLAND.

ter Of the locality, it is always well
to look up its geological history, that
we can the better understand its pres
ent condition. The island of which l
have told gave no clew as to why it
wa an island and not a bit of the
surrounding meadow; but this is not
reason for wondering why it was
here at all. Nowhere is the world
just as it has always been.
That my play-day island, now no
more, was very old, as we count years,
was shown by the fact that close to
the level of the water were found
flint arrow-heads and pieces of Indian
pottery. Here was a pretty chapter
of the islands history. When but a
sandbar, bare perhaps at low tide
only, Indians came here, perhaps to
fSh or to lie in wait for passing water
fowl, but here they came, and what
they left behind them clearly proves
that the old tree was the foundation
of the new land long before the white
man came to this country.
Wherever there is a little brook the
story of the making and unmaking OF
islands is told. On a small scale, ev
erywhere, the great works of crea
ton are being repeated. 1t is never
necessary to travel to the ends of The
earth to learn about a great many in
teresting things that are going on ou'

FREEZING ICE CREAM.
Although 1t Is IA Simple Process, Very
Few HOusekeepers Know How
to Do 1t Right.

There is a Boston legend that ice
cream was first made by a famous col
ored cook of Boston, which is so often
repeated that it is a pity to recall
the fact that the French made sweet
dishes CONCEALED with ice as long age
as the age of Cardinal Richelieu, who
was himself a famous bon vivant and
the inventor of the salad mayonnaise.
The success of an ice cream depends
upon its being properly frozen. A
cream that is CONCEALED until it is as
hard as an icicle is as much a failure
as one half frozen. The process must
be such as to make a creamy but per-
fectly compact mass. 1t is easy to
freeze cream in a few minutes by US
ing an extra amount of salt. This
will produce a coarse grained, icy
cream that is anything but ~palatable
Use about three pints of coarse rock
salt to ~ quarts of ice, crushed fine,
for a gallon freezer. Put in a layer OF
ice, then sprinkle in the salt and pack
in another layer of fine ice. Continue

Mrs. Fairbanks was appointed by
Gov. Hovey, and was the first woman
board of state charities. The duties OF
this Office required visiting all penal,

also looking into all reformatory mat

charities in the state. This great work
was cheerfully and efficiently attended

banks arrived in Washington last fall
she was called upon by the board OF
trustees of the National Junior Repub-
lie to take the presidency of the Wom-
ans league, connected with that insti-
tuition, and situated between Washing
ton and Baltimore. This philanthropic
work is entered into by both cities and
is a special effort for children, whose
lives are blighted at birth by poverty
and crime.
At first Mrs. Fairbanks refused to
enter into this. work, owing to pressure
of social and other philanthropic mat

A minister was one day walking along q

crowd of boys sitting in front of a ring with
a small dog in the center. When he came up
to them he put the following question:

little boy said Whoever tells the biggest

THE FIGHT.

skill of the fighter as upon his
strength. Furthermore, a terrier
fight is not brutal. No boy will hurt
himself while engaged in this sport.
AS shown in the illustration, two boys
are placed facing each other in the
center of a room; hands clasped be-
meath the knees and a stick just I'M
der the elbows, as shown. Each con-
testant ~endeavors to push the other
over, but as it requires considerable
attention to keep your balance at all
when in this position, the attack is no
easy matter.
TO suddenly give way is a maneuver
almost surf to upset your adversary,
but unfortunately it is very apt to up
set YOU at the same time, and only
after considerable practice will you
be able to overcome a man in this
way. The pivot, a sudden swing to
the right or left, is safer, though not
that the best terrier fighter invaria-
bly, makes his opponent throw him
self. Give way at some unexpected
point, and unless he is a skillful nan
he is sure to go over. Never try a
hard push except in the last extrem-
ity, when everything else has failed.
A terrier fight consists of three
ore-minute rounds, with 80 seconds
rest between each round. The one
scoring the largest number of falls
during the time set is accounted the
winner.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
