MADE FROM MELONS
oAINTIES WITH WHICH ALL ARE
NOT FAMILIAR.
Recipes for Sherbets From the Fruit
and Preserves From the Rind-
The Proper Way to Serve
CanteIoupe.

Tempting sherbets are made from
both canteloUpe and watermelon
There are conserves to be made of
the rinds, perhaps in combination with
another fruit or a vegetable. There
are salads which may be concocted
by adding to melons, cut into small
cubes, a sprinkling of nuts and a
spoonful of mayOnnaiSe.
But first catch your melon. A ripe
canteloupe can be told by an examina-
.tion of the stem end. Break a small
piece from this and see if the melon
is fragrant If it smells spicy the
melon is ripe 1t is a mistake to put
ice into canteloupe, as is generally
done. This takes away considerably
from the sweetness of the melon meat.
The canteloupe should be served in a
bed of cracked ice. A toothsome des-
sert is made by filling a canteloupe
skin with vanilla ice cream and pour
ing over the ice cream a mild ginger
syrup.
For Watermelon Sherbet.-Boil a
pound of sugar and a quart of water
together for 10 minutes. Add two
tablespoonful of gelatine which has
been soaked in a half cupful of cold
water for an hour, then when dis
solved, strain and pour into the freeZ-
er. Add one pint Of orange juice and
freeze. When nearly frozen add two
cupfuls of pink watermelon dice, and
let stand packed in ice and salt for
an hour and a half
In making canteloupe sherbet, soak
one teaspoonful of gelatine in a half
cup of cold water for an hour. Add
one-half cup boiling water. When the
gelatine is quite dissolved. add one
cupful of cold water, three-fourths
cup of sugar, and the mashed pulp
and juice of a melon about the size of
/ a cOcOanut.
Picked canteloupes are not found
on the average table. But they GER
j tainly deserve a place there. These
! belong to the sweet pickle variety.
/ Select melons not quite ripe. Cut into

The house fly is frequently eXpound-

Chicago Journal Let us not forget
that the rat is also a dangerous ma
rauder, and menace to public health.
San Francisco employs 80 rat trap
pers, who average more than 5000
rats a month captured, and unknown
armies of the pests poisoned in the
sewers. Chicago should take meas

WAR MADE IMPOSSIBLE.
KAN3.

II all the advanced" ideas were
adopted it would seem that war would
soon be made impossible. Many
schemes have been exploited in the
shape of skillfully written newspaper
or magazine articles, but the building
of big warships continues. The latest
claimant for attention at Washington
is an individual who has conceived
the brilliant plan of having ships
carry a reel of barbed wire at the
stern, so arranged that an end can be
thrown overheard while the vessel
steams swiftly around the enemy un-
til the latter's propellers are so tan
gled up that they cannot turn. Then,
says the inventor, "all the feet need
is to sail away and leave it's enemys
men to starve and its ships to rust"
But the naval authorities have filed
away this most impressive sugges-
tiUn along with that of the man who
a few years ago wanted the govern
ment to adopt a projectile filled with
a gas that would anaesthetize all on
board an enemy's ship, so that capture
would be easy. The day of the inven-
tor is not yet past. Nor that of the
crank.

of make-belicve enthusiasm Not
beaten by Mr.. Fleetwood, the only
other active candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for governor,
but by Hon. Charles P Smith of it's
own city, according to the Free
Press. The Free Press should travel
a little. Its expressed opinions do
not jibe with the views of those in
a position TO got the drift of things.
Judging from the insistence with
which Mr.. Smith of Burlington is
half-unwillingly drawn into the
canvass for the governorship Mr.
Fleetwood, who is already well along
in his campaign who sets up an ac-
ceptable and progressive platform,
who proclaims his entire aloofness
from any political alliances save de-
votion to the G o P. has no show
against the Rutland candidate
Under these circumstances, Mr..
Smith, who is com paratively un-
known man, looks like a foolhardy
bet forsthe Free Press.
