-Four Ways to Use Ginger.

A plain lemon jelly, prepared ac-
cordin5 to directions on the package
of gelatine, becomes something novel
by stirring into it some preserved
ginger cut into thin circles. When
firm, cut the jelly into two-inch
blocks. Serve there or four to a dish,
topped with whipped, sweetened
cream, favored with a little of the
ginger syrup.
To make lemon ginger sherhet,
boil two cupfuls of water and a cup
full of sugar for fifteen minutes and
add a teaspoonful of gelatine dis
solved In warm water. Strain, and
when cold add a cupful of lemon juice
and five tablespoonfuls Of ginger
syrup. Freeze, and when qGite stiff
stir in two tablespoonful of pre-
served ginger, chopped very fine;
pack in salt and ice till serving time.
For a beverage for unexpected COM
pany, nothing will give more salts
faction than ginger ale. Dissolve
three tablespoonfuls Of ground gin
ger in hot water, just barely to cover.
Let it he'll for five minutes and cool,
then pour it into a bottle with three
cupfuls of ice-cold water, one table,
spoonful of lemon juice, and sugar to
sweeten to taste. AS q last ingredient
drop in a heaping teaspoonful Of
supercarbonate of soda, and cork the
bottle, hammering the cork down
tightly. Shake the bottle we'll before
serving the beverage, and the cork
will pop out. This ale will have the
finest kind of a fizz and snap to it.
A variation of the ordinary dessert
of a cream delicacy may be made with
ginger. Prepare the cream as for
charlotte russo, and, as you beat it
stiff, stir in preserved or c~rystallized
ginger that has been cut into shreds
with a sharp knife, and a little of the
rich syrup, the quantity to be guaged
by tasting the cream after mixing.
Keep the cream in an ice-cold place
until serving, and top each glass OF
cream with a cube of preserved GIN
ger. Accompany the cream with GIN
ger waters or soft gingerbread.--T.

A GARDEN AND A ZOO.

I planted Pennyroyal close beside the sar''
den fence;
1t sloomed with nickels, dimes. and even
silver ffty-cents. ~
As many people think its odor rather
strong and rank,
I gathered each one as it came and placed
it in the bank.
I planted Dogwood after that, and on each
Dogwood tree
There blossomed little puppies just as cun-
ming as could be-.
Their bark would sound for miles around,
but dogs must have their day,
Although I grieve TO state that many peo-
pie ran away. 20.
But when the Pussy Willows bloomed, and
kitties mewed and purred.
The garden grew so noisy that 1t really
seemed absurd.
So ] decided quickly IN the one thing l
Ny plans I'd lay for beasts of prey. and
turn it to a Zoo.
I planted Dandy Lions, but believe me-
when they came
mN.ley never growled a little bit, but acted
rather tame. :,
The striped Tiger Lilies that I thought
would howl and roar,
Crew meekly near Horse Chestnu. trees
behind the kitchen door.
Twas a very funny garden and a funny
Zoo, I grant,
For the only thing that paid me
Was the Pennyroyal plant.

clothes marker designed by a Penn
sylvania man. This device, which re-
sembles a ticket puncher more than
anything else, has two long jaws, the
lower one deep and hollow with
space for the setting Of type inside.
A box Of type comes with the marker
and the owners name, or the name
of any member of his family who
wants to stamp his or her clothing,
can be set up in the type case, where
a screw clamp holds it firmly in place.
The type is then moistened on a
pad saturated with indelible ink and
the name stamped or the shirts, I'M
dergarments or other clothing. The
chief advantage Of such a device Is
that it will make the Identification Of
garments certain and will aid laun-
dries in keeping their goods properly
sorted. To people who travel much
such a marker is invaluable.-Boston

itch is seldom seen, and many men
who formerly insisted on shaving
themselves arc willing to trust them
selves in a shop. One Of the best in
ventions which make shaving a
cleaner job is the lathering utensil
devised by a New York nan This is
nothing more than a shaving brush
with the bristles at right angles to
the handle, like a shoe brush, but at
the back is a set of rubber stubbles
by which the lather may be rubbed
into the beard. The stubble can be
quickly cleansed after each use. Such
skin affections as are caught in bar
Der shops are invariably contracted
when the barber rubs the lather in,
the germs being secreted under his
finger nails. The brush shown In the
cut eliminates the necessity of the
barber using his fingers for this pur-
pose.-Washington Star.

Where the hair is heavy these
combs are considered too brittle, and
rubber is preferred, with no thought
that it generates more electricity.
If a bone comb is soaked in cold
water for several hours before using
the first time, it is less apt to break.

ROOT TO REPRESENT
U. S. IN FISHERY CASES


Washington, April 27-Former
Secretary of State Root, who is 60
ing abroad to represent the govern
ment in the New Foundland fisheries
case, said today that he probably
would be very busy while in Europe
and, in consequence, doubted whether
he should be able to see Colonel
Roosevelt.
Shortly after it was announced
that Root would act as the repre-
sentative of the United States in the
fisheries controversy, it was rumored
that he would also see Roosevelt and
give the administration side of the
political conditions which have de-
veloped since the colonel went to Af-
rica.
