HOT WEATHER DISHES.

Ices and ice creams are always well
come in hot weather, and for dessert
nothing can take their places Iced
fruits are easier to serve than fancy
puddings and much better for the di-
gestion.
During currant and cherry time,
those delicious fruits will be used for
pies as well as eaten fresh. A cherry
pie is considered by most epicures the
sine qua non.
In baking cherry pies remember to
insert a paper funnel made from
writing paper In the center opening
and the Juice will boil up and never
run over and spoil the pie.
Tomatoes are such refreshing vege-
tables and are especially good for the
blood.
To vary the manner OF serving, chop
a cucumber and an onion. mix with a
sprinkllng of chopped parsley and
French dressing and heap on nice
thick slices of tomatoes.
Individual berry shortcakes are pre-
pared by baking powder biscuits
Split them and butter while hot; NIL

two on top. II strawberries, II small
fruit use more. When making the

spread with butter and another laid

not as apt to soak the Juice and be

youth was quenched and he settled
down to be a prosaic hotel clerk.

LOS ANGELES, Cal Feb. u.s.
Mrs. Florence Maybrick, who
served 15 years in an English pr:s-
on for the alleged murder of her
husband and who has given her
life since her release to improve
ment of prison conditions, Is try
Jig to secure the passage o. bill
through the California Legislature
Iforbidding men to lie present in
a court room where women are
being tried. She declares the pres
ence of idle, curious men is dis
tressing to women prisoners and
so confusing as to actually en-
danger their chances of justice,
and also that it leads a certain
class of women to dress and primp
with the idea of attracting the at
tention of the men.
She cites the examples of Boston
and New York, in which cities men
have been excluded for a year past
from the trials of women. Mrs
Maybrick's reform has met with
the unanimous approval of the
bench.
Another reform which she advo-
Gates is the abolition of the chain
gang, which she regards as a relic
of the dark ages.
