Dainty Custards That Make Good Warm Weather
 Desserts.

With the approach of warm weather heavy desserts should be avoided, and unless fresh fruits are served for the final dinner course something extreme ly light should be substituted. Here are some excellent preparations:
 Chocolate Custards Melt a square of bakers chocolate in three tablespoons of sugar in double boiler; add a quart of milk. When warm pour over five eggs, white and yolks beaten together. Pour this into small earthen cups or a pudding dish. Whichever Is used, set the receptacle into pan of boiling, wa ter and bake in moderate oven until firm, A pinch of salt and half a tea spoon of vanilla will improve the nav- or of this dish.

A kitchen sink should be kept spot lessly clean. The best way to clean a galvanized iron sink Is 10 rub strong soap powder into every corner and over every inch of surface. Let it rest for ten or fifteen minutes, then with a scruhbing brush and boiling water go over the whole, rubbing vigorously. When thoroughly scrubbed polish with a soft flannel cloth wet with kerosene. This prevents the sink from rusting af- ter the strong powder has been used. For porcelain-lined sink use kerosene first, last and every time.

Tone Talks.

The New York Herald speaks about the vocal tremolo as follows:
 Why is 1t that so many singers from over the water seem to be almost uni versally afflicted with tremolo of voice?
 A new singer is heralded by suc- cesses here and there and everywhere; he is bound to be good. So we are told, and then when they reach Amer ica we hear voices that sound as though they had come to this country on the good ship "Wabble."
 Why? They are not Isolated cases. 1t is a common affliction, and partic- ularly is the malady rampant In Italy, of all countries the one in which vocal art ought to be at Its highest state of perfection
 Certainly none of these benlghted singers believe that it is delightful for the audience to sit unresentingly through such siege of vocal vibra- tory massage. Then why do they ou it? Is 1t an infirmity of the voice or do they hope. by spreading the voice in their waverlng slices, to make 1t cover multitude of sins and llsten- CTS"
 If 1t cannot be cured, let 1t at least be discouraged, and If 1t Is discour- aged consistently enough, 1t probably will be cured.
 Tremolo is due to insufficient train ing and breath control. It is a great mistake for good and promising young voices to start singing professionally before they have attained to adequate strength and skill. Young singers who overtaX their voices invariably develop tremolo and strident tones.
 In last Saturdays "tone talks a typographical error crept into the fol- lowing sentence: Into our voices there come expressions reaching the thoughts that crowd in upon the mem ory." For reaching, substitute re- echoing.
 With the coming of hot weather many students leave off having vocal lessons. For young singers this is de- sirable and rest from study Is wise. Young voices are benefited by q ,ohanvs and resplte from regular prac-

ROTATING CROPS.
It will Help the Soil and Your Bank
Account.

It is desirable to so plan the farm
work as to crops that there will be a
rotation from year to year. If this
is combined with the proper use of
fertilizers it will keep the farm in
good shape from year to year. Diff.
ferent crops use different quantities
of plant food, and so all crops return
something to the land in the way of
decaying roots and perhaps acids set
loose in the decaying processes. The
insects are kept down by the rota-
lions and the weeds are also better
kept under control, says Farmers Re.
view. 1t is hard to check the spread
of insects if the same crops are grown
on the same fields every year. There
are some insects that feed on some
crops but starve on others, and the TO-
tation process helps the starvation of
the insects. The best-kept farms are
where the crops are rotated. Usually
the fields should each have a legumi-
nous crop once every few years, this
depending on the richness of the soil
and the kind of other plants grown.
Thus, on soil too rich in nitrogen,
we would not suggest leguminous
crop in the rotation till the too album
dant supply of nitrogen in the soil had
been exhausted.

Over Two Hundred Bodies Of Victims
Recovered.
Yusovo, European Russia, July A.
The bodies of PA persons recovered
from the Rikoscky mine, which was
the scene of an explosion of gas, have
been buried.
The horror Of the situation was
added to by fire. It penetrated the
inner galleries where $50 men are i'm
prisoned and made the efforts of the
rescuing parties almost useless. In
the distance from behind heaps of
fallen debris could be heard cries for
help all day. Fifty-three more bodies
were taken out, all terribly mutilated.
Some of the men had been burned to
death, while the heads and limbs of
the others had been torn of by the
force Of the explosion. Seventy-five
injured were also taken out and re-
moved to hospitals. OF these, ten
suooumbed and many others are in a
precarious condition. Three women
who stood at the mouth of the pit and
recognized the bodies Of their hus-
bands dropped dead from shock. A
number OF others have gone mad.

ROOSEVELT'S VIEW OF BRYAN.

hOOSEVELI'S VIEW OF BRYAN. .
Chicago Record Herald, Walter Wellman:
Eastern men, without regard to party,
are well-nigh unanimous in their belief
that if Bryan is nominated he will have
no chance whatever of success at the
polls. The one conspicuous exception to
this rule of which I know is President
Roosevelt. he told me not long ago that
he looked upon Mr.. Bryan as the strong
est candidate the democrats could run.
The president bases his conviction
somewhat more upon his intuitions than
upon his reason, but it must be admitted
Mr.. Roosevelt's intuitions are often
accurate. In so far as logic does enter
into the formation of his opinion, this
is the line it takes: That the American
people are to large extent hero-wor-
shippers; that they are prone to give
their affection and admiration, in q
sweeping way, to put one or two men in
each political party at any given time;
that Mr.. Bryan is the man who enjoys
this public favor on the democratic side,
and that his popularity with the masses
of the people, with the men who work
with their hands, will show itself q
strong factor in November.
Mr.. Roosevelt is one of the few eminent
public men I have ever known who
always bears in mind the fact that presi-
Dental elections are determined, not by
the men he meets and you and meet in
our daily walks, in hotels, sleeping-cars,
clubs, Offices and stores, but by the men
who drive wagons and street cars and
work in shops and factories and fields
and mines.

GOOD 2 TUREs.
Old World Countries Can Teach the
American Farmer Many Lessons.

May the day come when the pas.
lures on the American farm will be
as carefully taken care of as they are
In some of the older dairy countries
Of the world There is no doubt that
the pasture is now one of the best
paying parts of the farm, even with
It's neglect, and 1t can be far more
profitable if it is made to produce as
much as it should produce. What is
more beautiful than a sunny pasture
In which the grass is fine and thick
and the sod is so deep and compact
that it is difficult to dig down to the
naked soil!
The cows luxuriate in such a pas
ture. They do their own harvesting of
the crop, and this is one of the items
Of profit not generally thought of.
The better pasture the more of crop
there Is for the cows to harvest Tho
question of the pasturage has not yet
been deeply studied by the American
farmer. He has slurred over it, as is
seen by the conditions of our pastures
almost everywhere.
Recently the writer of this was
driving through some of the best
farming land of Illinois. AS he came
to a beautifully placed and beautifully
kept farm, the driver said to him:
'The man that owns this farm always
has things in beautiful condition.
Nothing is ever lying about. The
fences are up and the trees, shrubs
and flowers are in proper trim. The
owner is worth $4,000, and he and
bis wife have made it together"
: 1t was indeed q beautiful place and
The two-story farm house was In keep
Ing with the rest It showed that tho
occupants had artists souls. But the
writer was compelled to remark to
the driver. 1.-THE one drawback is the
pasture, which 10 eaten down to the
ground"
Here was an illustration Of tho
habit that has taken hold Of the
hmer, that Of neglecting his pasture.
II It Is free from stones and stumps
and is not tramped into miro In any
place it IL thought to be good enough.
In the case Of the man referred to.
the pasture could have been made
rs perfect and beautiful as was the
rest of the farm. The chief reason
for its not being 80 lay in the mere
fact that his conception of what q
pasture should be was as low as that
of most of our farmers, whether they
live in New England or in the prairies
Of the west.

NOTICE.!

The New Front Special Sale was a
big success (for which we thank our
old and new customers), except in two
particulars. First. we did not close
out all our china, and second. our 100
ladies' and 100 gentlemen special
watch sale did not fully materiallze.
There are three main reasons why it
was thus. First, it was too big a
proposition for this time of the year
Second, most people buying watches
at our store wished different sizes,
kind or priced watches, and third that
the U. s. postal laws do not admit of
our explaining more fully the
advantages of this sale through the
mails which is on account Of the
element of chance connected with
same. We have asked most of those
that bought these watches as to what
they thought should be done under
the circumstances and they one and
all left it to our judgement. We have
decided to continue this sale 60 days
more, commencing July LIST and
positively closing Aug. 10Th. We will
make this different: All watches
bought of us within the next go days
will be included in this proposition,
but the prize will be of value accord
ing to the value of the watch bought
by winner of the lucky number. This
makes it fair to those who have
already bought and fair to those who
will buy. More fully explained at our
store.
Hoping this will be satisfactory to
all concerned, remain,
Yours respectfully,

ANOTHER PIONEER DEAD.

Onamla Pioneer: Colt N. Archer, a
pioneer settler at Mile Laos and we'll
known throughout this section of
country, died at his home at Vineland

death being heart failure.
Mr.. Archer was an old soldier and

fifteen years or more. He always took
an active part in township and school

sympathetic, and will be kindly
remembered by his many friends and
