DELIGHTFUL FRUIT OFFERINGS.
In blossom time and fruftage there Is
90 fairer sight than the cherry tree.
This fruit made famous by Luculls. who
chose its ladened boughs to adorn his
triumphs after his victory ofer Mithri-
dates, has. like progress. steadily marched
westward ho," until in this far away
country of it's adoption the cultivated
cherry f1ourishes apace IN almost every
section. How certain we are that spring
has come when the cherry trees unfold
their snow white banners 10 the soft. sun
ladened air. bee and bird and the small
marauder boy alike consider the cherry
tree their Lawful hunting ground, a ban
quet spread by nature for their especial
delectation. But they are not alone in
their appreciation OF these luscious. pen
dulous globes OF distilled sunshine which.
when seen peeping red or gold from be-
meath their shelter OF green leaves. might
well prove irresistible to children of
larger growth.
While certain varieties Of cherries are
indigenous to this continent. such as the
red sugar cherry, the black and the
choke cherry. the old world has given
us the Morello. ox-heart and duke and
others, and there can be no iovler offer
ing IN the way OF fruit than these.

able OF our fruits and TO be eaten only
when perfectly ripe. The season there
fore is very short and the fruit. conse-
quently. not very cheap. but as a COM
pensation it is especially fine for pre-
serving in several ways. for. unlike most
other fruits. it does not lose. but rather
gains richness and favor by being cooked.
Its appetizing individuality makes IL a
delightful fruit for buildings. pies ices
consommes and drinks. and gives a most
pleasing change and variation in the
dietary.
Cherries are rich in sugar-apd some va
rieties are best eaten uncooked. The
Mureilo Is slightly more acid and for this
reason gives a pleasing character 10 the
dish when cooked with other materials.

In this country they are not considered
to possess much nutrient value and used
as a delightful accessory, hut in France
and Germany they are staple article

wood cutters. entering largely into soup.

comparatively new idea. in our cuisine. IS
