A New Dessert,

This new dessert occurred to me one
day when arranging to entertain guests
at dinner. To four tablespoonful of
powdered tapioca I added half a cup
full of cold water letting the two stand
undisturbed for about an hour. then
added four tablespoonfuls of sugar and
one and half cupfuls of boiling wa
ter and cooked the mixture until the
tapioca had become clear. At this
point added half a cupful Of the strip
from jar Of preserved ginger and a
quarter of cupful of ginger itself,
first cutting it into small pieces. When
nearly cold the result was poured into
sherbet glasses and before being
served was piled high with whipped
cream that had previously been fla
vorcd with vanilla. The quantity
given will fill six glasses.

The Care of Butter.

When the ice supply gives out, or
you cannot get 1t, inverte a large un-
glazed crock or jar over the butter
plate and keep it in the dark until
time, for using. The vessel being
porous will keep the butter solid, espe-
cially If little water is poured
around it in the dish where you have
it and damp cloth is, wrapped
around the crock or jar.

FOR PERFECT WEDDING CAKE
The Following L aRellable Recipe
Containing All the Toothsome
:" Sweets IMAGINABLE. 1853

The fruit should be prepared the
day before making the cake. Cream
together one pound unsalted butter
and one pound of sugar. Sift together
a pound Of pastry flour and tea
spoonful each of cloves, cinnamon,
mace and nutmeg and a tablespoonful
of salt, and set near the fire where
the flour will be thoroughly dry. For
the fruit have ready four pounds raj
sins seeded and quartered and dredged
with -four, three pounds of currants
or their equivalent in dates, figs or
prunes soaked and slightly cooked,
then chopped; pound of citron
shaved as fine as possible, one-half
pound ground almonds and a half
pound each candied lemon and
orange peel shredded. For the moist
ure have measured out one cop of
confectioner's molasses, two-thirds of
cup rich fruit syrup from preserved
Strawberries, peaches, plums or cher
ries, and the grated rind and juice of
one lemon and one orange. A half-gill
of brandy may be added or not as
preferred. Having creamed the but
ter and sugar, add IL unbeaten eggs,
one at time, using the hands to beat
them in instead of a spoon. When
well blended add part of the liquid,
then part of the -four mixture. When
all have been used beat in a half
teaspoonful soda dissolved in a little
warm water and then mix in all the
fruit excepting the citron. When
thoroughly blended put a half-inch
layer of the batter in a pan that has
been lined with several thicknesses
of paper, taking care that the paper
comes we'll above the edge of the tin.
Cover with uniform layer of citron
shavings, then another layer of the
batter and citron, having the last
layer of the dough. Cover closely and
set away over night. In the morn
ing bake five hours in a steady, mod
crate oven, protecting the top of the
cake with paper till sufficiently risen,
or steam, then bake. When partially
cooled, ice with the white of one egg
beaten stif with confectioner's sugar.
When this is cooled and hardened
the decorative icing may be applied.

BETTER THAN SOAP
WHEN WASHING BLANKETS USE
AMMONIA. =
Gives More Practical Results and /,
Easier to Use-Material Leaves
Tub In Excellent Condition,
Soft and White.

Now the housekeeper must begin
to think of washing and putting away
the winter blankets. It is mistake
says an authority. to do the launder-
Ing with soap. Ammonia does the work
much more easily and makes the blan.
ket much whittier and softer than soap
can without tremendous deal OF
rubbing and other back-breaking ex.
ertion.
Put about a cupful or more of am.
monia into the washtub If a single
blanket is to be washed, allowing
twice as much for double blanket
Lay the blanket loosely in the tub
and pour over it just barely enough
hot water to cover it. About two gal.
Ions Of water will be necessary for
every cupful of ammonia. Move the
blanket about with a wooden stick for
about ten minutes, so that the am.
monia fumes will have a chance to
reach every particle of the surface.
No soap or rubbing is necessary ex'
cept possibly around the hem, as the
ammonia draws out all the dirt. When
the water is discolored and the blanket
is nice and white, rinse it in fresh
water. Do not wiring it, but squeeze it
lightly with the hands. Wringing pulls
it out of shape. AS soon as the blan.
ket u.s. properly rinsed, hang it at once
upon the line, letting the water drip
from 1t while drying. OCCASIONALLY
while it is drying, squeeze the ends
with the hands, being careful not to
pull the fiber. When perfectly dry,
bring it into the house and then press
it with heavy weights, if not perfectly
smooth. No ironing is necessary.
Some housewives dry blankets on
curtain stretchers. They say that the
blanket keeps it's shape better and,
of course, there is no possibility Of it's
shrinking.
Needless to say, sunny day should
be selected for the work. The more
quickly blanket dries the less it
shrinks and the better it looks.
When the blanket has colored Dor
der, as it usually has, care should be
taken that it does not overlap, as the
color may run"

that brindle COW to stir her up. She
was easily stirred. Mrs. Burnham was
in the daisy field again, and the old
bovine considered it a personal at.
front. After few moments the COW
was engineered away from the fence
and the rails thrown down. Then, the
engineer started for the tree, 30 rods
away. He began, at the same time, to
shout to the daisy gatherer:
ITO the tree! To the tree! Swing
yourself up into the tree!"
The first impression of the widow
was to run. The second was to skip
for the tree. Could she climb? She
could. 1t is plebian for woman to
climb trees, but she seized low
hanging branch and went up like 4
coon before dog. That brindle COW
coming on the dead run, and gaining
on the engineer at every jump, looked
bigger than any title in Europe just
then.
Will Pelham could run! In run
ming with bride as the prize he could
make locomotive look tired. He
reached the tree seven feet six inches
ahead Of the old brindle. He hadn't
planned to climb the tree. No heroics
can take place up tree. He shell
tered himself behind the trunk, and
the brindle cow passed it by an inch
and drove on with below.
"O-h-h-h, Mr.. Pelham!" from up the
tree.
Yes, yes!"
1--WE shall both be killed."
Il suspect that we shall, but I'll
die"
There was not time to add the word
game" Tie COW was coming back
like freight train on a down grade.
and the engineer had to side-step
again. The bellows of rage az the
target was missed would have done
credit to fog-horn.
Mr.. Pelham, she will surely kill
you and then climb the tree and kill
mel"
IL can dodge her a little longer"
But climb up here beside me be-
fore it's too late"
my shoulder, you know-1 can't
climb. Hang on for your life-she's
coming again."
If that brindle COW had set out earl
Ter in life she might have beaten the
Standard OIL company in owning the
United States. She had sand. She
had perseverance. She had ambition.
She charged again and again. She
hooked and hunted the tree and
brought down screams and prayers.
She kept the engineer lodging like a
cat on a hot stove, and it was long
half hour before she tired out.
Il cannot die! Save me! Save me-"
came down from the branches for the
tenth time.
Il will" was repeated for the same
number.
And it was done. Mr.. Pelham left
the shelter of the tree and made a
dash for piece of fence-rail so feet
away and got 1t. Then he went for
brindle. She bluffed, but he ham,
mered her horns and nose and spinal
column and headquarters, and he ran
her back into her pasture a sadder
and wiser farmers friend. He turned
to see crumpled woman lying at the
foot Of the tree. He advanced to find
that it was Mrs. Burnham, and that
she wanted to take his arm and go
home. They didn't say much during
the walk. 1t was when they reached
the veranda and the waiting, wonder
ing Glynn that the quavering voice Of
her mother said:
"Glynn, this isn't a person-it's Mr.
Pelham, and If you want to tell him
that we've given up our European
trip you can do so. Be sure to ask
him to. stay to dinner. How grand!
How noble! How courageous
