PRACTICAL DESSERTS.

During the season Of fruit, and for
that matter, that is all the year round,
fruit provides a dessert that is easy,
usually inexpensive and decidedly
wholesome. All fruit will not do in
dessert making, so We like a variety
Of reasonably inexpensive dishes for
everyday use.
There Is a large variety Of fritters
and hot cakes that may be served with
various sauces and are quickly and
easily prepared The fat kettle is
carefully covered and set away and
can be brought out to heat while the
fritters are being prepared.
Apple Frltters.-Sift together one
and third cups of flour, two teaspoon
fuls of baking powder and half tea
spoonful of salt; beat an egg, add two
thirds of cup of milk and mix all to-
gether, adding two sour apples cut in
small pieces. Drop by spoonfuls In
hot fat and fry a delicate brown. Roll
in powdered sugar and serve with cur
rant Jelly sauce. The sauce is pre-
pared by boiling together a cup of
sugar and third of cup of water
FIVE minutes; add four tablespoonfuls
of currant jelly and when boiling hot
the Juice of lemon; strain and serve,
If very nice sauce is desired, with a
handful of candied cherries.
Baked Bananas (Porto Rleo)-Put
rather green bananas in the oven and
bake until the skins burst; serve with
butter.
Souffles are another form of dessert
which may be varied in endless ways.
When baking, a shallow pan should
be used, as the weight of the mixture
tends to break the cell walls. When
the dish seems to be too shallow, line
1t with band of buttered paper that
stands up above the dish. Always set
the pan into water to equalize the heat
In baking.
Coffee SouffIe.-Cook together three
tablespoonfuls each of butter and
-four, then add cup of black coffee.
When thick add salt and third Of q
cup of sugar; cool and add the beaten
yolks of three eggs, and then add the
beaten whites. Turn into buttered
dish and bake until firm. Serve with
whipped cream.

branches to form the head Of the tree,
which should not be over IL to Is
inches. This cutting back will cause
several of the upper buds to break
and grow, thus starting the top or
head at the proper height. The start
ing branches should be watched and
only such left to grow as are to form
the main branches. The strongest
shoots should be left at equal dis
tances around the stem and should
tend obliquely outward so as to spread
and make an open head. The second
year these shoots should be shortened
back to the extent of about half of
the growth. The same plan should be
continued the third and fourth years.

upwards by strong air currents, and
lowered over the glaciers in spite of
the great cold, as if they were in the

there is certain amount of dust in
the high aerial regions which is con.

LEFTOVER DISHES.

1t takes thought and planning to
use the bits of leftover meats accept
ably. One may often buy in the mar
ket small amounts of meat, too small
for any but individual portions, which
may be used with other foods to pro-
vide a good meal.
A little chopped ham added to an
omelet makes a pleasant change and
the dish has more food value, an i'm
portant item, when preparing the
meal, to arrange for.
Cooked ham mixed with mashed po-
tato. and after seasoning make into
fat cakes. Brown in little fat.
Minced Liver.-To each cup Of cold,
minced liver add one tablespoonful of
chopped onion Drowned in butter, and
season with salt and a little paprika.
Turn into an agate frying pan with a
little water. Sprinkle lightly with
-four and add a quarter of cup of
vinegar Simmer until well heated
Sausage and Rice cakes.-To one
cup of cooked rice, warm or cold, add
nu uuucdOcu C66 dhu I"O SoOlCSpOoA
.uls of cold fried sausage. Form into
fat cakes. If the mixture is too soft
add little more rice. Brown in but
ter or hot fat, being careful to have
the fat very hot before adding the
cakes. This amount will make half a
dozen medium sized cakes.
Yankee Toast.-Poach few eggs
and brown the same number Of pieces
of toast in bacon fat. Crush little
Of the bacon and sprinkle over each
slice of toast and serve with an egg
on top. Shred leaf of lettuce very
fine and garnish the top of each egg.
The meat from a. shank of boiled
ham may be chopped and mixed with
boiled salad dressing. Pack in jar
and have a sandwich filling that will
keep indefinitely.

FROZEN DISHES.
Emerson.

There is such latitude for variety
in frozen dishes that the same dish
need not appear often enough to be
monotonous.
Burnt Almond Ice Cream.-Blanch
and chop a cup of almonds, carmelize
four tablespoonfuls Of sugar, and add
the almonds. When cold pound to a
powder. Add this mixture to ordinary
ice cream with tablespoonful of al
mond extract.
Cocoa Nut Ice Cream.-Mix half
cup of cocoa with half cup of -four
a cup and fourth Of sugar and half
teaspoonful of salt; add two eggs
slightly beaten. When we'll mixed add
two cups of scalded milk, cook in a
double boiler, stirring constantly. The
eggs should not be added until the
-four is we'll cooked. Then add cup
of walnuts, a little vanilla and two
cups of cream. Freeze.
Maple sirup, hot, with chopped nuts
makes a plain ice cream seem quite
stylish.
Plum pudding ice cream is plain ice
cream to which cup of dried and
pounded plum pudding is added.
To make caramel ice cream add a
cup of carmelized sugar to unsweet'
ened or lightly sweetened ice cream
Cocoa Cocoanut cream.-Make the
same as for cocoanut cream excep:
omit the nuts and substitute a cup OF
freshly grated cocoanut instead. Ado
the Juice and rind Of one lemon
Freeze.
Chocolate Mousse. - Melt three
ounces of chocolate, add cup and a
half of sugar and one cup of thin
cream. Boil one minute. Mix a ta-
blespoonful of granulated gelatine
with a fourth of cup Of cold water;
add 1t to the boiling mixture, and
when cool add a teaspoonful of va
nilla, little salt and the whip from
three cups of cream. Pour into mold
and pack in equal parts Of ice and salt.
Let stand four hours.
For strawberry mousse substitute
two cups of crushed strawberries in
stead of the thin cream and use ia,
blespoonful and half of gelatine.

form to the head and especially while
the tree is young, the orchardist
should keep clearly fixed in his mind
the form of the tree as it is to be
when old; for what may seem to be
an open head when the tree is young
may prove to be too dense and crowd
ed when the tree is older. The
branches should not be too close to-
gether for convenience in gathering
the fruit.
During late winter, or in early
spring before the sap starts, each tree
should be carefully looked over and
all branches which are likely to inter
fere with adjoining ones should be
cut out and the centers of dense
growth thinned out; side branches
which are making a stronger growth
than the others should be checked by
shortening in, so as to maintain an
evenly balanced head. Some varieties
have an upright habit Of growth and
some make a slender, struggling
growth. All need attention each year.
In cutting back the last years growth
the top bud should be left on the side
of the branch facing the direction in
which the growth needs to be di.
verted. BY this method there will be
no difficulty in shaping the tree into
any desired form.
All pruning and training possible
should be done while the trees are
young and the growth of wood is
tender. At such time the healing
over is more rapid and complete, and
the tree suffers less injury.
Old trees that have been neglected
may be renewed by severe pruning,
cutting back all the branches that are
not in a healthy condition. This
pruning will cause new, vigorous
shoots to grow. The new growth will
need to be cut back as occasion re-
quires. By persistent pruning an en-
tire new top may be formed in few
years.
The pyramidal form differs from
| the vase form in that the main lead
ing shoot of the tree is allowed to
maintain its upright growth and the
side branches are shortened back so
as to produce the shape Of pyramid.
The intermediate form is probably
the best for training the pear The
tree is allowed to grow more in ac'
cord with its natural habit, but it
must be checked and modified more
or less in its growth so as to conform
: to the ideas of the planter.

VENICE A CITY OF DREAMS
Many Charms for the Tourist In This
Picturesque City Of
Italy.

To the wanderer in Italy, Venice
has a peculiar attraction. Arrive there
at sunset, or better still by moonlight,
and you will fancy yourself trans
planted TO some city of dreams. With
daylight this feeling may wear of to
some extent, although there is never,
at any time, as much hustle and stir
in Venice as in other towns. Morn
ing, noon or night, Venice has fas-
cination all her own. This is partly
due to the fact that she is a city built
on the water.
To explore Venice and to become in
timately acquainted with her, a gon-
dola is not a necessity, rather it is
luxury for sunset evenings and
moonlight nights. 1t is a delightful ex-
perience, and not difficult one, to
find ones way about Venice on foot;
quaint, old world corners are discover.
ed, bits Of ancient architecture, carved
doOrways and little bridges, with a
feast Of color here, there and every
where. Apart from all the beauty Of
scenery, there is the enthralling inter
est evoked by her history and tradi-
tions.
Among the traditions we read that
st. Theodore was the first patron saint
of Venice, to be superseded later on
by st. Mark. The wanderer in Ven.
ice becomes familiar with the Lion
of st. Mark. More prominently than
anywhere is it to be seen on one of the
columns on the Piazzetta, whilst on
the other is st. Theodore. These col
umns OF beautiful red and gray gran
ite are supposed to have come orig
inally from Syria. They were erect
ed by Lombard engineer.-Christian
