Making Cream Whip.

Many housekeepers who like
whipped cream as an accompaniment
for broths, chocolate or desserts think
they must order cream of a special
richness. This generally must be
done the day before and always cost
double the price Of ordinary cream.
One young woman discovered last
winter way Of easily making her
daily supply Of cream whip. She
merely added teaspoonful of granu-
lated sugar to every pint, had 1t ice
cold and quickly whipped it to thick
froth in the churn.
A special whipped cream ehurn is,
by the way, an investment that pays
for every housekeeper. The old
method Of using a fork and skimming
of froth as 1t comes to the surface is
a waste Of time that the modern wom-
an cannot afford.

Pen Picture of Gentleman.

Cardinal Newman has painted the
character Of the perfect gentleman:
He Is one who never inflicts pain. He
carefully avoids whatever may cause
a jar or jolt in the minds of those
with whom he is cast-all clashing Of
opinion or collision on feeling, all re-
straint or suspicion or gloom or resent
ment; his great concern being, make
every one at ease and at home.

Nurseries and Influences.

Countries and families are but
nurseries and influences. A man is
father, a brother, German, Roman,
an American; but beneath all these
relations, he is man. The end Of his
human destiny is not to be the best
German, or the best Roman, or the
best father, but the best man he can
be.-George William Curtis.

Clean and wash the gible.s and put

up giblets fine and put back in broth,
make gravy in your usual way, strain,
and when ready to serve add your
chopped giblets.

4 hole in the ground in New York City usually
attracts great deal of attention Men and women
crowd around it to discover what it is for. what
is going on in the depths and watch the men

building.

half of its final dimensions. II is not yet certain

by Centre street, Park Row and Duane street At
its bottom will be a sx-track subway station.
Chambers street will bridge the chasm. passing
over the railroad station and through the centre
