The Proper Way to Exercise

Instead of wearing out your strength
on contortion machines, relief-seekers
should flee to the woods and the moup-
tains, should pitch their tents in some
neighboring wooded highlands and share
the fun of hoeing out trail to the next
spring; should gather raspberries in the
deep cliffs. and CLIMB trees in quest Of
squirrels nests; should fetch their own
fuel from the pine-knot bottoms. and ar
range expeditions to the highest peaks of
the neighborhood.
In that manner a wto-weeks' camp In
Elysium will suffice to lay in reserve

FROZEN DESSERTS.

Ices Made without n Freezer-A si-,is
PIE and Delicious Bisque.
A frozen dessert is at once the best
approved and the most palatable of all
desserts, and the expense of the sim
pier forms of Ices is not large when
prepared at home while their number
is limited only by the imagination Of
the one compounding them.
1t is a simple matter to prepare the
cream, etc., for freezing, but many
amateur cooks fail in freezing the
mixture to proper consistency. They
freeze it too long or unevenly; conse-
quently it is harsh to the palate. For
this reason ices frozen without stirring
are in demand. In freezing these ices
they must be subjected to very slow
process; if frozen too quickly, they viii
be granular and coarse grained. and
the texture depends in q large measure
upon the proportions of ice and salt
used.
In packing any unfrozen mixture in
a mold one measure of ice TO one Of
salt should be used. The ice and coarse
salt should be about the same size,
and they must be we'll mixed. The
preparation of cream, ETC., is poured
into the mold, heaping the mixture =
little over the brim; cover with piece
of waxed paper little larger than the
top of the mold, press the cover down
tight, bind the seam with a strip of
cloth dipped in hot suet. This will
harden at once and prevent the salt
and ice from leaking into the mold.
Put a thick layer of the ice and salt
in a small tub; on this place the mold
and cover completely with the ice and
salt, packing it down closely about the
sides; cover all with piece of carpet
or blanket and allow to remain from
four to six hours
All unstirred frozen mixtures are
packed in this manner. When ready
to serve, wash the mold with cold
water to remove the brine and wipe per-
fectly dry, take off the cover and paper.
invert the mold ON to dish and let the
ice slip out. If it does not do so read
lily, wrap a cloth wrung from warm
water about the mold. Never dip in hot
water, as this causes the ice to melt,
and it presents an unsightly appear
ance.
A bisque ice is delicious and simple
to prepare. Crush fine and sift some
macaroons. Cut half a pound of sui
tana raisins in halves, extract seeds,
cover with one cupful of orange juice
and let stand over night. Whip one
pint of cream to stiff froth, whip in
gradually half cupful of the maca-
room crumbs and three tablespoonfuls
of sugar Gradually add raisins and
freeze in mold.

species perhaps each of us has a spe-
cial penchant. For the purpose of a
table center we decide, then, upon
roses We first require vase. and If
one can be obtained in ruby glass it
will be all the better for the scheme in
question. Of course it Is not necessary
that the vase should be exactly on the
lines of the one shown in the sketch.
Over the top of this it will perhaps be
well to have one of those wire cages,
which, filed with wet moss, will form
a splendid ground for holding up the
roses ard will also be useful for hay-
ing the ribbons tied to it, which form
the swags at the corner. These rib
bons, it should be noted, are tied at the
bowl double with bow. They de-
scend perpendicularly for few inches
and then diverge, one arriving at each
of the adjacent corners of the silk CEN
ter. In order that the flow of line shall
be what is desired it may be necessary
to tie a little piece of lead or some
heavy object to the ribbons where
they diverge'-that is to say, just under
the rose which is shown. This will
keep the upper part of the swag per-
pendicular, and the pieces which come
to the corner will really hang between
the roses and the corner. The silk for
the mat had better be in salmon pink,
with pale yellow border, the ribbons
OF silk and red and the roses red and
pale yellow.

A scientist in pointing out some OF
the most practicable data in testing
iron and steel lays down a simple rule
to start with-namely, that in any case
where a fracture Of iron gives long,
silky fibers of leaden hue the fibers
cohering and twisting together before
breaking, it may be considered tough,
soft iron. Further, medium, even
grain, mixed with fibers, is a good
sign, while q short and blackish fiber
indicates badly refined iron, very
fine grain also denoting q hard and
steely iron, which is apt to be cold
short and hard to work with the file.
Again, coarse grain, with a brilliant
crystallized fracture and yellow or
brown spots. denotes brittle iron.
cold-short. working easily when heat
ed and welding well.
Nitric acid will produce black spot
on steel-tbe darker the spot the hard
er the steel-while iron, on the con-
trary, remains bright If touched with
that acid. Good steel in its soft state
has curved fracture and a uniform
gray luster. but in its hard state a
dull. silvery. uniform white. Again,
good steel will bear white heat with
out falling to pieces and will crumble
under the hammer at bright heat.
while at a middling heat it may be
drawn out under the hammer to q fine

Arnso,s Dslemma.

dreaded nothing more than seeming
ridiculous. He was careful of his dig
nifty even with his most intimate
friends.
Eugene de Mirecourt gives an anus
ing account in his Portraits ct Sill

modification at having to share a
room with his friend NJ. Quetelet, di-
rector of the Brussels observatory.
They were at Louvain. When it ap-
peared that the best accommodation
that could be given them was one
room with two beds, Arago seemed
much disturbed. When they went to
the room, he paced the floor impatient
ly, while the Belgian astronomer
watched him in astonishment.
Finally Arago seemed to form dcs-
perate resolution. He exclaimed, Il

throughout the country districts the best
opportunity they have ever enjoyed to

themselves of this opportunity is legion.
The Fair association is anxious TO be-
gin at once the registration of all house

take, stating prices per day for room
and board. They should also intimate If
the house contains modern improvements,

HARRIS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR
SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION

- AJoR JOHN c. HARRIS has
W. withdrawn from the contest for
EXk the democratic nomination for
superintendent of education OF Alabama,
thus making I. w. Hill the nominee.
This statement was authorized by
Major Harris upon his arrival In Biz
mingham from Montgomery last night.
He stated that in view Of the fact that
Mr. Hill had received a majority vote
over him of more than five thousand. he
deemed It the will of the people, or more
especially the school teachers. that Mr..
Hin should be the nominee. This fact,
coupled with his own bad health, had
caused him to write a letter to State
Chairman Lowe declining to enter the
contest in the second race.
The democratic state committee at its
session in Montgomery Wednesday de-
clared Major Harris entitled to enter a
second primary with L w. Hill of Eta
wah. the former having received the next
highest vote cast In the primary of Au-
gust rs. There were two other aspirants
for the position, chappell Cory of Mont
gomery and Thomas L. Bulger OF ITALIA
poosa.
The withdrawal of Major Harris from
the contest was a great surprise to his
friends who last night learned of his ac-
ton. The following is a copy of his let
ter to Chairman Lowe:
