the men closed in and fought with their
bare fists, wrestling about over the edge
OF the bridge in a way to make the blood
OF the watchers run cold. Every minute or
two II would seem that one or both of the
fighters was doomed to certain death. Then
they would work back to the center of the
track, never cessing to struggle. At the
end Of a half hour the foolhardy men were
compelled to desist from sheer exhaustion.

Use Of Frozen Cream Preparations.

Use of Frozen Cream Preparations.
While frozen desserts are very accept
able at any season, they are exceedingly
gratifying to the taste in hot weather.
They are generally less expensive and
troublesome than most other desserts
which one would elect to serve on the
same occasion.
Plain homemade cream ices are easily
made and entirely possible when ice is
procurable- The custard ices require d
little more skill and time but may be
made without cream, having the addition
OF eggs to enrich the milk. These frozen
custards, or as they are better known,
French creams are very good to taste.
very Wholesome, and considered by many
more easily digested than the richer ices
made with entire cream They certainly
fulfill their object when partaken of on
a hot day, and constitute almost or en-
urely the sole refreshment one can relish,
as they cool. while they afford an agree
able and sufficiently substantial form Of
nourishment for light luncheon rein
lorced- perhaps, by some plain and sim
pie form of biscuit or cake.
The list of frozen cream preparations
mas OF very recent years been greatly eX-
tended until by different degrees of rich
ness. different fiavOrings. eolorings, COM
binations and forms of molding, we have
an almost unlimited variety.
Iced creams embrace the Philadelphia,
or plain frozen creams sweetened fla
vored and stirred while freezing. The
cream is scalded in a double boiler. but
not allowed to go beyond that point. as
cooking the cream will prevent its increas-
ing in bulk while freezing If the sugar
is added tC the cream and dissolved while
It is heating it Will greatly improve the
navor and quality of the frozen cream.
While the French creams custards
may be made without cream, owing to
the addition Of eggs, they are of differ
ent degrees of richness whipped cream be-
ing added to some varieties.
For these custard creams the milk must
be scalded, added TO the yolks of eggs,
and sugar and returned to the fire and
stirred continually until it Will coat the
blade Of a silver knife or spoon not long
er. 1t is then slightly cooled before the
havoring is added, and If beaten until
cold will make a daintier, lighter and
smooth cream, while It viii increase in
