Custard for Ices.

Make a custard with four eggs, q
quart of milk, half pound of sugar,
and one teaspoonful of corn flour.
Mix the well-beaten eggs, the corn
-four, and the sugar to smooth paste,
and then pour over it, stirring we'll all
the time, a quart of boiling milk. Re-
turn the mixture to the fire for two or
three minutes till it thickens, but do
not let it boil. Pour into basin, add
any kind of flavoring desired, and
freeze in the usual way. Bear in
mind that the custard for ices must
be favored very highly, as great
deal of flavor is absorbed by the freez-
ing process.

UP to the Editor.

The country editor kept nagging at
his new apprentice and finding fault
with his work until the criticism be-
came wearisome.
Finally the worm turned.
"D'ye expect to get a second Hor'ce
Greeley fer five plunkers week?' he
demanded sarcasticaHy. IF you do
you are barking up the wrong sapling.
l can't set type or sling ink with Ben
Franklin or Hor'ce Greeley, not on
my present recompense, but you make
the salary six simoleons, cash down
every Saturday night, and I'll pitch in
and set the journalistic pinwheels a.
buzzing in Punkinville and vicinity
even if l have to stay up seven nights
a week to do it.
There's my offer, blast yer stingy
hide! And now if you don't get out a
half way decent journal hereafter, it is
the fault of your own meanness!"

AnM To Boil Meat.

A recent French writer on the
science of cookery advises that in
boiling meat the piece be first plunged
into boiling water, and that after boil
ing for few minutes enough cold
water be added to lower the tempera-
ture to about 100 degrees Fahrenheit,
at which point the meat should be al
lowed to cook for several hours. This
odd method, which the author acknoWl-
edges is Numerically opposed to COM
mon practice, will result, he says. in
making the boiled meat as juicy as
good roast. The reason for adopting
it is that the albumen of the meat will
coagulate at once on contact with the
boiling water, and will protect the
fibrin from solution without opposing
the passage of heat. The meat will
thus cook slowly, after the addition OF
the cold water, without becoming
tasteless, refining all its natural juices
as when roasted.

Beef and Potato Pie.

Required: One pound of gravy beef,
two onions, two pounds of parboiled
potatoes, salt and pepper, half a
pound of pastry.
Cut the meat into pieces about half
an inch thick and two inches square.
Slice the onions and potatoes. Put a
layer of potatoes at the bottom OF a
pie dish, then onion, pepper and salt,
then meat and so on till the dish is
full. The top layer must be of po-
tatoes. Put in some gravy or water,
but not too much, or the pie will be
sodden. Put on thick pie crust, make
a hole in the middle. Bake about one
hour and half, and serve hot.

Where Apple Brandy is Made.

Apple brandy" said T. J. Batman,
sis one of the most peculiar of drinks
1t is made in but few sections of this
country, and Meade caunty, Kentucky
produces az much usually as any
other section, with the possible excep
tion of California. Most of the brandy
for this locality came from there this
year, but the apples had to be shipped
from New York. The production is
about one gallon to each three bushels
of apples.
1T may strike you as strange that
the same quantity of apples will moi
produce the same quantity of brandy
each year. Some years the apples are
deficient in sugar, and the amount oil
sugar determines the quantity and
quality of the brandy. A distiller may
have an especially fine crop of brandy
one year, while the following year the
same distiller will get an inferior croI
of brandy from the same orchard."-

philandering around so much with the
boys in way that might or might not
count; but everybody recalled that
both girls were 16 when Eliza Alice
engineered Samantha Ann out of the
church choir after hearing someone re-
mark that Samantha Ann was the bet
ter singer OF course that stirred up
an awful rurnpus, and the congrega-
ton took sides on the matter which
resulted in the preacher handing in
his resignation.
The next one they hired was a
young man just out of college. He
was unmarried, and the church trus-
tees reasoned that if he called on
Eliza Alice oftener than was neces-
music for the next Sunday they could
call in justice of the peace, or some
other hitching artist, to make them
one, and thus avoid the talk that al
ways hurts the church in the eyes of
some.
The young preacher didn't cotton
to Eliza Alice-at first. Samantha Ann
had just realized that she was a young
lady, and when her mother first ar.
rayed her as such she was a dream
of innocence, beauty, lowered organ
die and strand of five-cent glass
beads. The young man escorted her
home one evening from prayer meet
ing and sat out on the front porch
talking to her for over an hour The
next day all the town was talking
about what fine couple they would
make-all but Eliza Alice; she pulled
Pa Jones' leg for the price of brand
new outfit, and for the next few days
the hum OF the sewing machine was
heard in the Jones home.
The next time the preacher called
at the Jones mansion to leave the sir
containing the numbers of the hymns
for the following Sunday, Eliza Alice
met him at the door, took his hat and
hing it up beside dads in the hall
seated him In the easiest chair and
nlaved rag time on the piano until he
began to drum with his fingers on the
orn Of his chair, after which she
ewitched to dreamy love songs. In
This manner she got him keyed up just
light to land on the sofa, and then
brought out the family album as ar
excuse to get up real close together
and occasionally touch his hand witt
hers. in about unpsteen minutes sht
had him under perfect control, and he
napan to wonder If two could live OF
his salary.
From that time on SAMANTHA AMI
was in the discard; she was sort O
sedate sister anyway, while Eliza
Alice was just as previous as she
found necessary. If the young mar
should happen to look at any othel
gnm masticator Eliza Alice would
throw him a glance that would brins

Arnument That Mon.

Susie had been promised pair Of
new slippers for Sunday. Anxious to
have them at once she had tried in
every way to persuade her mother to
buy them for her and let her wear
them to children's party that was to
be given on Wednesday, but without
success. Finally when both she and
her mother had become tired of the
teasing the little girl said: We'll,
mamma, you needn't get them now:
but maybe I'll be dead by Sunday and
if I am you'll be sorry for disappoint-
ing me-" Susie wore the slippers

Meant the Other Way.

Rear Admiral Sperry, commander
in-chief of the feet returned from its
triumphant sail around the world,
sometimes has serious spells of absent
mindedness. Several years ago he was
talking with a group of fellow officers
at the Naval War college at Newport,
when one of them remarked that he
had been ordered for duty on the
Asiatic station.
