Novel Method of Serving lee Cream
ON the streets.

Novel Method of Serving lee Cream
ON the streets.
A new kind Of ice cream sandwich re-
Gently made its appearance on the
streets, says the Philadelphia Press. It
is an English invention, but a hustling
vender has secured the American rights
to it and has placed it on the market
Once the ice cream peddlers sold their
ware on slip Of paper, which when
the cream was eaten was thrown away.
Then the ice cream sandwich as we
know it now came into being. Now,
however, we have a combination Of the
two, for the new sandwich Is d cracker
cup filled with cream.
The English process, which bakes the
cracker in the form Of a cup also in-
parts various fiayors to it, and the hap
py street urchin can eat his delicacy
without having to throw the receptacle
away, as he used to do, and without
losing any Of the cream by leakage as
Is now the case.

turer Of panama hats, who was at the
Hotel Baltimore in Kansas City the
other day says, according to the Kan
sas City Times, the panama hat will
be just as popular this year, but that
it will be less expensive than it was

Where the Hour Glass Is Used.

Among things not generally known
is the fact that the hour glass is uni
versally used ON board the Kings ships
when the log is heaved at night.
Every hour the boatswain or one of
the boatswain's mates blows on his
whistle a peculiar shrill note called
the reel. The person in the watch to
whom this duty is assigned then heaves
the log, a small piece of wood with a
sinSer fitted in 1t, and at that moment
the glass is turned. Though termed an
hourglass generally, 1t is only four
teen-second glass really.
AS the last grain runs out the log line
Is stopped with jerk, which also loos-
ems the lead sinker. The log floats up
to the surface of the sea, the line is
hauled in, and an entry made in the
book, which, from its containing this
among other items of the daily and
nightly events of the voyage, is called
the log book.-London Country Life.

BOUND TO CATCH A FISH.
His Fishing Trips for Nineteen Years
Had Been Fruitless.

Had Been Fruitless.
"Queer, isn't it?" remarked a Wood
bridge street commission man as
friend dropped in on him the other day
and found him overhauling a box OF
fish-hooks and lines.
"What is queer" was asked.
"Why, this fishing business. am al
ready preparing for my annual fishing
excursion, which takes place each year
from the LIST to the 18th Of July. It's
my first overhaul of the box, and from
now on it will be a regular weekly oc-
currence. In another month l shall
begin to dream about hauling out ten
FOUNDERS
"Do you make regular weekly busi-
ness of this fishing matter"
II do. Next year will be my nine
teenth annual excursion and l shall
keep it up as long as 1 have my full
powers. There's nothing to beat II"
"You must have great luck to be so
enthusiastic"
II have never had any. If l could
have gone out during these nineteen
years and caught three or four fish
should have been perfectly satisfied to
quit, but luck was always against me-
I've been down to Lake Erie, but the
fish were always away that day. I've
been up to Lake Huron, but they didn't
like my bait. I've been to inland lakes
and sought out score of rivers, but
theirs was always something wrong.
La st year went down to the seashore
on purpose to fish. 1 fished from
wharves and fished for shark, but
never even got a nibble."
"Do you mean to say that you never
caught fish in your life?" asked the
caller. ,..sr ..r
Never a one. l have tried to-heaven
knows how hard have tried, but they
have not been for me. Nineteen years
and never a fish-never even a bite.
Hundreds of dollars and weeks of time
wasted and only rusted hooks and
broken lines to show for It,"
But you will keep on?"
~ WILL" he replied, with grim deter
mination, according to the Detroit Free
Press. There shall be no surrender

A Handy Wood Block.

On every farm there is more or less
wood-chopping to do, and, as rule
1t is breaking work unless some
device, something like that shown in
the cut, Is used. This is simply made
and consists mainly of two pieces of
logs sawed smooth 80 that they will
stand firmly. These are set about four
feet apart and each log is about three
feet high. On top Of these logs is
placed another, which reaches from
end to end Of the base logs, as shown
in the cut. Stakes are cut and fasten-
ed to the log as. shown, so as to hold
it firmly In position. The whole ar
rangement is planned so that the log
will be Of the right height for cutting
without causing one to bend over too
far. In order to prevent danger from
flying pieces Of wood, such as small
twigs of trees, an iron, bent as shown

Value of Dry Earth.

1t is well known that fine, dry dir
Is one Of the best absorbents and dis
infectants known. 1t Is also plentiful
and costs nothing but the labor of
handling. 1t makes excellent bedding
If covered over with few inches of
straw, and 1t really keeps the cows
clean, even when used in the stalls
without straw, as 1t is easily removed
from the hair with a brush. A stall
bedded with dry earth can be cleaned
out in a much shorter time, and, as it
absorbs the liquids and gases, quite
saving is effected in that manner. Its
use goes beyond the stall. AS the
stable should be cleaned daily, quite
large quantity of dry earth will be
used In the course of year, and will
necessarily be added to the manure
heap. Although it adds nothing to the
heap itself, yet it's presence therein
will double the value of the manure
by preventing loss of fertilizing ma
terial. 1t is a better absorbent than
straw or cornstalks, and is easily ham
died when the manure is hauled to
the fields.

sighted, and going up to the dressing
bureau, carelessly brushed of the letter
directed to Richard. Failing behind the
bureau, it lay concealed from view, while
the negress proceeded with her duties,
unconscious of the mischief she had done.
In great surprise Richard heard of Dr.
Claytons sudden departure. "There AUST
be something wrong" he thought, though
what he did not know. Going up to
Rosa's chamber, he found her still asleep.
The room was in order, the servant gone,
and on the bureau lay the letter which
soon caught his attention. CHANGING at
the superscription, he saw it was for
Rosa, and thinking to keep it safely until
she could understand IFS contents, be
placed 1t In his pocket; then taking a
book, he sat BY her bedside until she
awoke She was apparently better, but
an unnatural brightness Of her eyes told
that her mind was still unsettled. So he
said nothing to her concerning the doc
tors desertion, but himself ministered to
ker wants.
In the course Of few days Mrs. Ian
sing wN induced to visit her. This she
did more willingly, for Rosa had loved
her little Jessie; she would weep bitterly
when she knew she was dead; and the
proud nature Of the naughty woman gave
way to the softer feelings, which often
prompts a mother to take a deeper inter
est In whatever was once dear to lost,
precious child. So casting aside her
nervous fear, she at last went frequently
to the sick room, her own white. delicate
hands sometimes arranging the tumbled
pillow or holding the cooling draught to
the lips of her formerly despised gov
erness-despised, not for anything which
she had done, but because it was hers
to labor for her daily bread.

Testing for Plant Food.


One Of the simplest methods Of as
pertaining what plant foods needed in
a soil is to test the soil with a grow.
ing plant. If the soil Is deficient In
nitrogen the leaves Of grasses and GER
cal grains will be either blush or vel.
1owish, the latter in the case Of the
grain, while a deep, vivid green indi-
Gates a good supply OF nitrogen In the
soil. Any soil in which rape, cab
bages and other members of the turnip
family thrive indicates that such soil
has a good supply Of phosphoric acid
Where potash In the soil h abundan6
the leaves Of the growing plants have
a yellowish green cast, while II potash
Is deficient the shade OF green Is of q
blush color. Naturally It requires q
practiced and observant eye to deter
mine accurately these things, but tho
plan 10 correct and worth following.
The indication of sorrel in a meadow
seeded to mixtures such as redtop,
timothy and clovers, Is a pretty good
indication that the soil needs lime.
However, the litmus paper test for
acid soil Is the quickest and is thor.
oughly reliable. -Indianapolis News.
