BITSOF SPORT

Joe Tinker is in about the same
position as the man who climbs a
ladder and then has it yanked
from under him.
Joe, believing he would be
made manager of the Reds, de-
clared he no longer wanted to
play with the: Cubs. He said that
if he made errors fans would de-
clare he, was jealous of Evers and
was trying to throw him down.
Evers Immediately climbed up
on his left cal. and proceeded to
crate. He fatty refuses to con-
slider Mitchell and Grant in ex-
change for Tinker, entirely over
looking the fact that none of the
Red players will be retained here
anyhow, but must be shunted on
to Philadelphia if Evers is to
make good his bluff and refuse to
let go of Tinker unless Mike
Doolan is secured. And the Phil
lies are perfectly willing to take
Grant and pitcher in exchange
for Doolan.
Jim Archer and Sheckard are

Previous to the year 1875 in the

as they are exceedingly docile. The
dogs were trained to go forward and

HOW TO USE STRAWBERRIES.
Delicious Recipes That May Be Easily
Made


Strawberry Cuslard.-M a custard
Of one and one-half cupfuls of milk.
three-fourths cupful of sugar. one or
two eggs, two level tablcspoonfuls of
cornstarch and one-half teaspoonfu of
vanilla Heat milk in double boiler,
then add cornstarch dissolved in q lit.
tie cold milk; let come to a boil then
add eggs and sugar beaten together
very light. Remove from stove and
add vanilla. Have ready as many sher-
bet cups as you wish to serve. Take
five Strawberries for each cup, cut in
halves, lengthwise. In the bottom of
each cup place a half nut meat and ar
range five pieces of your berries around
it to look like petals of a flower Now
pour in the warm custard. leaving
room enough to repeat the flower de-
sign on top. This may be made early
in the day, as it is best served cold. \

especially economically when straw
berries are not too plentiful.
Strawberry Ice Cream.-Two quarts
of pure cream, fourteen ounces of
white sugar Mix we'll Mash one pint
of fresh ripe Strawberries, sprinkle
them with half pound of fine sugar,
let it stand about an hour, strain
through fine sieve or CLOTH If the
sugar is not dissolved stir it well. Add
little water. stir this juice into the

DO not get the idea that the ordinary

full desserts, such as ice cream and
water ices. They are easy and when
homemade are superior to those pur-
chased at the confectioner's. Use only
the best materials-pure cream, ripe

make perfect ice cream.
TO freeze the cream pound up ice

HOW TO GET RID OF ANTS.
Fine Salt SprinkIed on Pantry Shelves
Discourager.

Air slaked lime scattered around
the places where ants are apt to con-
gregate is said to be an almost certain
remedy. Fine salt sprinkled on the
pantry shelves and floor is also dis
courager of their attentions, as also

quantity of sugar Put in saucer
with little water to moisten, adding
more if it dries away. Set where the
ants are most troublesome. Bacon

which require special treatment. and
in a rolling country such conditions
are not infrequent. Often fiat place
several rods in length or seepy spot
needs special attention.
The distance from the drag at which
the team is htched affects the depth
of the cutting. Shortening the chain
tends to lift the front slab from the
ground. A longer hitch causes the
blade to cut more deeply. The length
of hitch may be regulated by lengthen-
ing and shortening the chain at the
end which runs through the hole in the
blade end Of the drag.
The advantages to be gained from
tle persistent use of Il road drag may
be summarized rs follows:
First.-The maintenance or smooth.
serviceable earth road free from ruts
and mudholes.
Second Obtaining such road sur
face with the expenditure of very little
money and labor III comparison with
the money and labor required for other
methods.
Third. The reduction of mu" IN wet
