FOR FROZEN N0UGAT
Rich Dish That Can Be Prepared with
tho Aid Of The Ice Cream
Freezer.

A rich and beguiling tidbit for the
Ice cream freezer is prepared in this
way:
Brown delicately one-half pound
shelled, blanched almonds. Add to the
nuts one cup sugar and place the
vessel containing them on the side OF
the stove, where the sugar will melt
slowly.
Then when melted bring the mixture
over the fire, but shake the pan con-
stantly and remove when the caramel
has become of coffee color. No por.
ton of it should be browner than
cafe au lait shade. Remove from stove
and pour on creased plate to cool or
on a marble confectionery slab il
you own one.
When cold pound it to a powder and
add this powder to boiled custard
made of the yolks of four eggs and one
pint Of cream.
Freeze. When it becomes stiff open
freezer and add the whites Of the
eggs beaten very stiff with two table,
spoonfuls of powdered sugar, two ia
blespoonfuls of orange juice and the
same Of pressed pineapple juice.
Repack and let 1t stand for two or
three hours longer, after which 1t is
ready to make the mouth of the veri
est ascetic water.

A French Pear Dessert,

Every Frenchwoman knows the
value of combining cooked fruit with
cereal for the family dessert. Here
is her favorite way of serving pears:
Peel, core and cut in halves half
dozen firm pears. Cook them slowly
for an hour in a strip of two cups of
water and one of sugar. Meantime
boil In a double boiler for about an
hour and a half cupful of rice In two
cupfuls of milk, with small piece Of
butter and sugar, and vanilla to taste.
When the rice is cooked turn it into
a mold. The French cook keeps the
rice warm while 1t is setting In the
mold, but it would probably suit the
American taste better to place the
mold on ice. When ready to serve,
turn the rice out on a round dish, and
arrange the pears neatly in border.
Pour over them the strip in which
they have been cooked, favored, II de-
sired, with little rum.

The LARGEST Sassafraa Tros,

Atlanta leads the south in many re.
spects, the nation in several ways, but
until recently the fact that Atlanta
leads the world in at least one thing
has been unknown. A sassafras tree
is the principal in Atlanta's new bid
for fame. The largest sassafras tree
in the world, says the department of
agriculture.
To most people tho name sassafras
is associated in their minds with the
picture of low, stunted bush luxur.
iantly foliaged from the roots Of
which their grandmothers made tea to
"cure spring fever" and other ills Of
that nature. A sassafras tree has
been a thing unknown.
In the year of the First Methodist
Church of Atlanta the sassafras tree
stands, passed by thousands each day.
none of whom has realized that In
that yard was growing the biggest
tree of it's kind in the world. Few Of
the members OF the church were
cognizant of its existence, though 1t

to reside at Antwerp, he assumed the

due to him, and handed it down to his

the motion of planchette was wholly
