SHERBERTS AND ICES.
How the Former Originated and on

Desserts.

Sherbet is a modern evolution ~ an
ancient cooling drink common in the

TO do with three loads dumped in the

not used.

The angle of the drag depends upon
the sort OF work that you want to do.
IF the reader will study the plan
for a moment he will readily under
stand some of its possibilities. 1t Will
be seen that the wagon and horses
can be kept in the track in most cases
and by standing upon a certain por-
ton Of the drag. 1t can be made to go
into almost any position desired or
cut deeper in certain places.
Suppose that 1t is desired that tn
soil should be cut at the right of tn ,
wagon at a distance further out than
what the drag would naturally go. II
the driver will step upon the stick a
a point somewhere near the right en- |
of the drag, IT is clear that his weight
will not cause the drag to swerve mo e
10 the right. but will cause the stick
to cut deeper into the soil.
ION the other hand, suppose that It
is desired that the drag should cut
nearer to tho middle of the track.
Then the rider must stand somewhere
nearer to the left end of the drag.
The reader will readily understand
wha: the result will be when the
weight Of a nan Is placed at different
points Of the drag.
More than this. different effects
can be made by ~lengthening and
shortening the longer chain. Obvious.
ly the angle at which the drag Is
drawn will determine to some extent
where the drag will work"
II will be noted from the ~illustra,
ton that Mr.. Bower does not use the
split log" but rather a solid stick
OF timber. It will be plain to be seen,
however, that the split log could be
readily substituted for the soil stick
and probably more effective work
could be done.
There will be little trouble in at
taching such a drag to the wagon
gear. In comparison to the steadyine
effect the extra draft of the wagon
gear would probably amount to prac
tically nothing.

The Improvement of the log drag is

be noted from the accompanying Illus
tration that instead Of hitching the
team to the drag itself he fastens the

that the drag can thus be held more

Congress Of 10000 Delegates to
be in. Convention There
Next Week.

thousands Of physicians of information

to attend the annual convention of
the American Medical association. The
visitors will be the guests of the Mas
sachusetts Medical eOcity and while
here will inspect the $3,OOO,0O0 medical
school of Harvard university, which
was opened today for the first time.
One OF the most interesting features
OF the convention, and one which has
been sought to more fully carry out
the idea of making the meeting one of
practical demonstration and first hand
instruction to the physicians attend
Ing will be the importation from Wash
ington of fully equipped field
hospital. This feature, supplied by
the national surgeon general, will con-
sist of $50 tents, beds and relief and
galloping ambulances, which will be
used to demonstrate the methods en-
ployed In providing against camp dis
eases and infection, and also to show
the means adopted by the Japanese to
keep down the mortality rate during
the eastern war.
Before the great congress of TO-
600 delegates three orations are to be
delivered; one by DR. A. G. iShattuck
Of Boston on medicine, another by DIR.

CHINESE SACRED LILY.
Do Not submerge in Stagnant Water
DO Give It Plenty of
Fresh Air.

A reader writes to inquire why his
Chinese sacred lily (Poly-Narcissus
orientalis) is turning brown at the
tips of its foliage. Unfortunately, this
is not an unusual trouble. Probably
the causes are lack Of fresh air, stag
mated water, variation of temperature
and, above all, endeavoring to encour-
age the plants to flower quickly after
the time of starting To grow. this
splendid plant satisfactorily there
must be no extremes; its native habit
of growth will encourage it to do well.
At first the bulbs should be placed In
. bowl or basin Of moderate depth
and sufficient single or pebble stones
placed around it to keep it safely in
position. Many think that the water
must be on level with the top of
the bulb, but this is not so, for it
should only be kept just above the
level Of the single. Like most other
bog or aquatic plants, it will not thrive
absolutely under water, but so long
as the roots are within the moisture
they come to no grief. The roots de.
light in ramifying among the shingle.
and If this is kept clean by regular
supplies Of fresh water there is no
cause why the foliage and flower buds
should turn yellow. In the country
where these delightful plants abound
they grow in nothing but bog land,
where shallow streams Of water ever
flow. Such conditions suggest the
best methods of treating them at home.
To start them properly cool. dark
cellar or shed is most suitable, but to
induce them to start vigorously they
should be kept covered with damp
moss. In this condition they will re-
main for several weeks, but when the
growths are about two inches in length
they should be gradually exposed to
light and finally transferred to the
light Of the. window or greenhouse
where the temperature is moderate.
The work Of replenishing the water
should be carried out twice weekly,
but let 1t be understood that the fresh
supply must be Of the same degree Of
temperature as that which is emptied
