ON SERVING CHERRIES
MANY USES FOR THIS DELICIOUS
EARLY FRUIT.
Served Fresh and Gold for Breakfast
They Are Both APpettzins and
HeaIthfuI-Varous Ways
of Cooking.

Cherries are the first of the fruits
of the summer-the first, that is. of
the fruits of the summer trees
Plums. pears and peaches are still
served only In the feasts OF dream
land when cherries are ripe. Hence
they are generally greeted with an
enthusiasm not bestowed on any OF
the later fruits.
Cherries served fresh and cold on
their own stems for breakfast are SO
delicious that no other way or serV-
ing them at that meal could De pet
ter But pitted and sprinkled Win
sugar and a bit of lemon juice, tney
serve as an appetizer and at the same
time lose none Of their delcate
flavor. Another way of preparing
them for breakfast Is to pit them anu
mix them with sugar-in the proper
ton of half cupful to pint OF cher-
ries-and cook them until they are
lust tender. Then pour them over
buttered toast.
Cherry soup has been made, but II
could hardly be more than the result
of an effort to serve cherries In ne"
and unexpected way. However, at
every course save the soup course
cherries can be legitimately served.
Cherry cocktails are made IN this
way: Stone ripe cherries, chop them
fine, add a tablespoonful OF lemon
juice to each cupful OF cherries
sweeten them to taste and serve them
either in cocktail glasses or else In
lemon skin cups, made by removing
part of one side of a sufficient num-
Der of lemons, cutting bit OF the
rind from the other side, removing
all the pulp and Juice and Washing
and chilling the shells.
Cherries served with French toast
can be used as an entree. To make
them cut rings half an inch thick
from bread and soak them in beaten
egg yolk, milk, little sugar and
pinch of salt. Roll the bread rings
in crumbed bread and macaroons and
brown them in butter. Stew ripe
cherries with sugar enough to sweet
en- them, drain and pile in the middle
of a dish. Surround them with the
fried bread rings and serve them with
the juice of the cherries thickened
with little cornstarch and favored
with orange juice.
Cherry fritters can be served with
meat as a separate course or as des-
sert. To make them prepare bat
ter of a cupful of flour, a teaspoonful
of baking powder mixed with table
spoonful of melted butter. we'll
beaten egg and enough water to make
thin batter. Stew ripe, pitted cher
ries until they are just tender-but
do not cook them to pieces-and
sweeten them. Drain them and add
them to the. batter. Drop it in spoon
fuls into deep fat and fry brown.
The juice drained from the cherries
can be substituted for water to mois-
ten the fritter batttr.\

Shakespeare First Folio.

There appear to have been 500
copies of the Shakespeare first folio
printed. of which about 200 are known
to have survived. Of these, fewer
than 20 are are in perfect state, while
about 100 copies have sustained seri-
GUS damage at various points. The
value of the four early folio editions
of Shakespeare is partly determined
by their pedigrees. The duke Of
Leeds owns a first folio on which two
former owners, Charles Kiliigrew and
William Congreve, have inscribed
their names Garrick's first folio is in
the library of Queens college, Oxford.
Sir Henry Irving possessed a second
folio which had belonged successfully
to Lewis Theobald, the greatest Of all
Shakepeare's textual critics, DR.
Johnson and Samuel Ireland. In
South Kensington museum there is a
third folio adorned with curious col
lection of autographs. At the top Of
the title page is the signature of Leigh
Hunt, and on other portions are the
signatures of Charles Dickens, Robert
Browning, William Wordsworth,
Charles Knight and George Henry
Lewes.-London Chronicle.

Bloody Thunder graduated
From an eastern Injun college,
Graduated with high honors
And a middle-aged landlady
Who was feeling somewhat nervous,
For his board bill was unsettled.
Bloody Thunder was a Choctaw.
Born and bred in Oklahoma,
And his daddy wore blanket,
And his mother, went barefooted;
They were no mild-mannered half-breeds,
They were Injun pure and simple.
With the accent on the simple
Where the cyclone zipps unhndered.
Where the heat of summer blisters,
Where the wintry blizzard RACES.
Wheye the boomer now is booming,
Bloody Thunder spent his childhood.
Hampered by but little clothing.
knowing not the taste of candy,
Living mighty close to nature.
When he went away to college
People shook their heads and doubted;
ct will not avail" they murmured.
They will fail to civilize him;
They may try to teach and train him;
They may polish and veneer him,
But when they have done you'll find him
Drifting back to Oklahoma,
Back to parching Oklahoma.
He will yield to savage yearnlngs
For the freedom of the prairies.
For the joy of shooting turkeys.
For the paint and the feathers;
He will hate the shoes that hurt him,
He will scorn the linen collar
And renounce his silk suspenders.
"He will throw away his grammar
And forget to use a toothbrush
He will lapse. as have his brothers,
And, returning. be an 1njun,
Hating cuffs and work and choosing
For his wife some red-skinned maiden"
They were wrong: when Bloody Thunder
Had secured his education
He possessed no savage longings;
After he had graduated
The ambitions and the manners
OF the white man he adopted:
He got soused and jumped his board bill,
And became baseball pitcher.

Awful Biunder.

A nice but not especially clever
young man went to a little evening
party in the east end last week-so
the story goes.
This young man was introduced to
several pretty girls, but he showed a
distinct preference for certain one Of
these, and her he led to supper and
distinguished among all others by his
favors. Finally, he got her into a
corner and stammered forth his ad-
miration, thus:
81 like you a lott"
why do you like me?"
You're the only college girl 1 ever
liked
But why am II"

BEST WAY TO WASH FLANNEL
Never Rub Laundry Soap Directly on
Material as 1t Makes 1t
Stiff

Some one asked directions for wash
ing flannels, some time ago. stating
that four or five visits to the laundry
always spoiled hers. Here Is my So
luton of her difficulty.
We all know that great care must
be taken in washing flannels to pre-
vent their becoming thick, stiff. and
often gummy in texture. l never rub
laundry soap directly on flannels, as
it causes them to stiffen almost per-
ceptibly, and gumminess is produced
by the soap not being well-rinsed out.
Passing from warm suds to cold rims
ing water will soon change the softest
flannels into cloth like heavy felt. The
practice of using the suds In which
other clothes have been washed or
boiled Is not to be recommended. It
pays to take clean, fresh suds for fan
nels, and give your attention to them.
| collect all flannel articles. blank
cts, ETC.. for separate washing, and
shake and brush them we'll before
putting them in the tub Have a clean.
hot suds. made with pure white soap
and soft water. put these articles in,
stirring well, let them remain until
the hand can be borne in the water,
then lift each garment or article up
and down. squeezing and otherwise
manipulating it, but rubbing as little
as can be ;-voided, and only on the
soiled places. Squeeze as dry as you
can with the hands. or pass through
the wringer into a tub Of clean water
of the same temperature, putting the
white flannels through a third water,
also hot, and blued. Dry as quickly as
possible. pulling into shape while yet
damp.
A little ammonia added to the water
in which the flannels are to be wash
ed is excellent to prevent shrinkage.

who had persisted in one or the ter
rife arctic blizazrds. The skeletons
were huddled together. on the side of
a little wind-break made up of some
boughs and moss. A little farther on
they found another skeleton back of
another little wind-break, where the
lonely traveller had evidently crawled
in futile effort to escape the same
blizzard. They found here the rem
nants of small tent, with few camp
utensils and a notebook so badly
blurred that it could not be read. A
little farther away they found the pros
pector's gun. But there was nothing
to identify any of the skeletons.
At Demarcation Point, which Sir
John Franklin determined upon as be-
ing the boundary line between Russian
and British possessions, the remains
of an Eskimo village was found, which
contained at one time about one hun
dred igloos-Eskimo houses. Most of
these houses appeared to be very old,
showing that at one time a large tribe
of natives made this point their per
ular hunters paradise. Here were dis
covered animal skulls and the horns
Of a musk-ox. This is the first time
that musk-ox- was ever found west
of the Mckenzie river. Caribou were
seen in herds of several thousand.
These animals are very stupid and
also exceedingly inquisitive. Some Of
them would gallop up to the party and
after due inspection quietly return to
the herd. Great numbers of mountain
sheep were seen, and several superb
specimens were brought back for the
Smithsonian Institution. Ptarmigan
were also very plentiful, and fish were
found in every stream.
While game of all kinds was in
great abundance, sevesal reasons were
apparent why the Eskimos had left.
Mosquitoes were there by the millions.
They were not ordinary mosquitoes,
such as are usually seen in civilized
parts. Some of them were as big as
a silver dollar. In fact, the surviving
members of the onslaught say the
mosquitoes were so vicious that they
had to build a huge smudge fire to
keep them away from the horses. 1t
was laughable and yet at the same
time pretty hard on the poor horses.
The animals would stand in the smoke
in preference to being eaten alive by
the insects. Then they would wander
out for little grass, but in a few min
utes come rushing back for the
smudge.
The men had to work with wells
over the face and gloves tied around
the wrists. Every one had to sleep in
a mosquito-proof tent in order to get
any sleep at all While eating, it was
necessary to sit in smoke so dense as
to be almost suffocating.
