ON FROZEN DESSERTS.
A Few Timely Suggestions for Making
Delicious Hot Weather Dishes.

! mix it in the proportion of one table
! spoonful to one quart of the prepara-

claim that the same result is obtained
by mixing the stiffly beaten whites of
eggs, two to quart, with the fruit ice
after it comes from the freezer and
just before it is packed Technically,
the addition of the egg or gelatine con-
verts what would otherwise be classed
as water ice into a sherbet. Much the
same end is gained by boiling the sugar
and water into a syrup that spins hair
before adding the fruit juice.
To make plain lemon sherbet, a half
dozen lemons, one pound of sugar, one
quart of water and a heaping table
spoonful of gelatine will be needed. Dis
solve the gelatine by first soaking it in
a part of the cold water, and then STIR

ed. Add the sugar, the juice of the
lemons, the rest of the water, and
freeze.
Harlequin sherbet affords variety to
the bill of fare. Boil together for twelve
minutes pound of sugar and pint of
water. Then remove from the fire, and
pour the syrup over a half cupful of
seeded and chopped raisins. When the
mixture is cold, add half a cupful of
orange juice, one and a half cupfuls of
pineapple juice, the juice of one lemon
and a dash of grated nutmeg. When

whites of three eggs, pack and leave
for two or three hours to ripen.
The blended juices of currants and
raspberrieS make a delicious sherbet.
Boil together for twenty minutes a
quart of water and one and a half cup
fuls of sugar. When the syrup has
partially cooled, add to it one and
half cupfuls of currant juice and one
cupful of raspberry juice. When it is
cold, freeze.
To make cream lemon sherbet use a.

whites of four eggs. Dissolve half of
the sugar in the cream, and fold into
the mixture the eggs Melt the other
half of the sugar in the water and pour
it upon the slices of lemon. Let it stand
for fifteen or Twenty minutes; then
strain water from lemon, mix it with

THE INTRODUCTION oFTRoUsERs.

Speaking of the centenary of trous-
crs, Fashion, an English journal, ex-
plains that they "came in on account
of the high living prevalent 100 years
ago. This produced a good deal of
govt, whose twinges the tight fitting
costume in use at that period made
unbearable. Hence the invention Of
the wider form of garment, which soon
became popular. Among the "dandies"
OF the period. however, the new style
was regarded with contempt, and when
Almack's was at it's height as a fash

PATHS WELL PRESERVED VOICE.

When Patti sang recently in the great
Albert hall. London, the critics agreed
as to the extraordinary preservation of
her voice. which since her retirement
from the arduous work of concert tours
seems to have regained much of its
pristine brilliance and beauty. One
veteran critic declared that her voice
seemed as resonant and powerful as
when she first astonished London Al
years ago. Nine. Patti has always
been extremely careful in conserving
her voice, and now reaps the reward.
Forty years is a long career in any
profession.

THE GOSPEL OF LABOR.

THE GOSPEL Or LABOR
But I think the King of that country
comes our from his tireless host.
And walks in this world of the weary,
as il He loved it the most;
For here in the dusty confusion, with
eyes that are heavy and dim,
He meets again the laboring men who
are looking and longing for Him.
He cancels the curse of Eden, and
brings them blessing instead;
Blessed are they that labor, for Jesus
partakes of their bread.
He puts His hand to their burdens, He
enters their homes at night:
Who does his best shall have as a
guest the Master OF life and of
light.
And courage will come with His pres
ence. and patience return at HIS
touch,
And manifold sins be forgotten to those
who love Him much;
And the cries OF envy and anger Will
change to the songs Of cheer
For the toiling age will forget its rage
when the Prince of Peace draws
near.
This is the gospel of labor-ring it, we
