q little salt and pepper, add a generous
half cup Of milk, a tablespoonful of

Stra wberry Sherbet Shortcake-Fer
strawberry shortcake worthy of its
name and noble ancestry is to put the
washed and hulled berries in a bowl,
cut them up with a silver knife and
sweeten them to taste. Then, when
the sugar is saturattng the fruit and
extracting its juice, bake a rich biscuit
crust. split it open, butter the inside
of both pieces generously and spread
one of them with the berries. Put the
other piece on top, with the buttered
inside. uppermost, and pile the fruit
on it until it will not hold another
berry nor q tcaspoonful more of juice.
If any of tie juicy berries are left
serve them as a sauce with the short
cake. Many people prefer them to
cream. though the latter could not be
scorned by the veriest epicure. -.
Game Pie-The game to be used
should be carefully boned, and should
consist of wild duck, partridge, quail,
small pieces of venison and wild hare.
Sprinkle with powdered mace, allspice,
salt and pepper. Line a large dish with
the richest puff paste, then arrange a
layer Of the prepared game in the bot
tom; orc this with q layer of force
meat, made by chopping two ounces of
ham, one teaspoonful of parsley and
the peel of half a lemon, then add Il
well-beaten egg and six ounces Of
bread crumbs and mix thoroughly.
Next arrange q layer of stewing oys-
tiers that have been carefully drained
and dried; continue alternating the
layers until the dish is filed. Bake in
a moderate oven, with an ornamental
crust, making a tiny slit for the steam
to escape; when nearly baked, pour in
with a funnel a rich cream gravy, to
which has been added a little dissolved
gelatjne.

A Little Free With the Judge.

Congressman Bankhead, of Alabama,
has a weakness for gambling stories.
One that he tells is OF a time when
a spasmodic attempt was being made
to drive gamesters out of Mobile. A
witness was on the stand t%estifying
for the defence, it being we'll known
that the Judge was 4 skilful poker
player. The witness talked of going
blind" raising" passing" and SO on,
and finally his honor said gravely:
"Mr. jackson, you are using a good

Drunkenness in France.

"A combined meeting Of the four chief
temperance societies of France, held
lately in Paris, and presided over by
no less a parsonage than NJ. Casimir-
Perier, shows how seriously thinking
Frenchmen are now impressed with the
magnitude Of the evil they have to
combat. We used to believe that hard
drinking was one of the ugly failings
alien to the Gallo genius. Frenchmen
have always prided themselves on this
contention. But the facts no longer
bear it out.
Absinthe along the boulevards and
cheap brandy among the working
classes have made a terrific record.
Absinthe has had it's votaries or its
victims, as n may care to call them,
from Verlaine on down through the
lesser lights of Bohemia to unremem-
bered nobodies. With shaking fingers
but keen desires, they enjoyed the
"green hour"-and passed. Meanwhile
the deadly wit of French c%aricature
has found another subject in the hulk
ing figure and heavy features of the
1aborer pushing his coppers across the
wet ZluC III Telufu 1Or IiQuIu mluuSSS.
If we care for French drawing, we
may admire the artistic force, the sheer
naked power Of it all, and overlook
the awful conditions which furnish the
motive. But French c:ricature, while
It respects nothing in the world, has
its own merits as a danger signal.
Wherever it is, we may know that
something is rotten. Some time ago
the French prison authorities took up
the matter and instituted lecture
courses to convicts on the effects of
alcohol. A recent picture in ILLUS
tration-and a CHASTITY picture it was
showed an amphitheatre where rows of
evil faces with closely cropped heads
looked out of coffih-like boxes while a
prison doctor, with a model of the hu-
man figure, demonstrated the working
of spirits.
The national temperance movement
now launched is organized on the
broadcast lines. Catholic and Protest
ant clergy, army surgeons and civilians
will share the work, sub-dividing their
investigations according to their op-
po~rtunities, and their combined report,
it is hoped, may furnish the basis for
aggressive action.

Mrs. julius Caesar had just picked
a young blonde hair from the left
shoulder Of her husbands toga.
"Ah, hap she exclaimed, angrily.
$50 you have been trotting around
with some drug store fairy, have you,
wretch? I have suspected you for a
long time, and now"
"See here, Cornie," interrupted the
dictator, somewhat impatiently. chow
often must I tell you that Caesars
wife should be above suspicion?'
But sentimental historians put an
other construction on the phrase.
The peasants wife had just given
King Alfred an awful tongue flashing
for letting the pancakes burn.

arch, II wish those fellows over in
Battle Creek would hurry up and in

Scrap Baskets.

The scrap basket is becoming each
year less of a necessary evil in a we'll
appointed room, and more of a very
serviceable decoration. 1t is found
this year in innumerable and unusual
" graceful shapes and in the most
effective Of %colorings.
These innovations have been brought
about largely in the effort to compete
with the fetching baskets which have
been so successfully made by the home
basket weaver-the girl who has much
leisure time, but who enjoys working
with her fingers. With the aid Of the
many colored rafia and sweet grasses
and some ingenuity, she has produced
BASKETS of graceful shapes and attract
i've colorings, which up to this time
could not be bought in any store, says
an exchange.

Temperance Notes.

One of the good results of the revival
in Wales is the decision recently taken
by the Baptist Church at Cardiff to
substitute unfermented wine for the
fermented wine heretofore used in the
communion service.
German newspapers report that DUR
ing the fiscal year ending March 81.
1901, British East India imported A.
O69. 600 gallons Of beer, Of which g.
$4,000 gallons came from England.
In addition to this the twenty-seven
breweries in India produced G,474,SG0
gallons.
Every saloonkeeper in Marion, In
diana, was arrested recently on the
charge of violating the Nicholson law,
and the total Of their fines anu costs
amounted to $41S5.
An English lord, speaking of the in
fluence Of drink upon his people, says:
Il have watched the temperance reform
movement for fifty years, and but for
it England would by: this time have
been uninhabitable."
Indiana's Governor will not appoint
even moderate drinkers of intoxicants
to office. What is q wise policy for
many present day business corpora
tons he holds is good policy for tue
State in its business.

To Boil Rice.

A rice kettle to boil rice perfectly has
an inner basket with a very close mesh.
The rice washed in several waters is
placed in the basket, and this is
plunged into boiling water, where the
rice cooks without Danger OF burning.
When the water boils away the rice
still cooks in the steam.
