Two men changing typewriters or
motorcars are, though more subtly,
like two men changing boots. Sew
ing machines, pianos and fiddles
grow intimate with the people who
use them, and they come to express
those particular people and the
ways in which they are different
from others: A brown eyed type
writer makes her machine move diff
ferently every day from a blue eyed
one. Typewriting machines never
like to have their people take the
liberty of lending them. Steel bars
and wooden levers all have little
mannerisms, little expressions, small
souls of their own, habits of people
that they have lived with, which
have grasped the little wood and
iron levers Of their wills and made
them what they are.-Atlantic

Very Scientific Punishment.

Here is a charming description of cor
poral punishment as given in American
schools and prisons. 1t is taken from
one Of the leading newspapers of Italy
and wilEastonish some people here as
much as 1t probably astonished the
Italian readers:
1.-THE most tncorrigible persons are
led with eyes bandaged and hands
shackled to a bath in which there is a
little water. They are stripped and
made to lie down in the bathtub. In
the water is a wire leading from one
pole Of an electric battery. Another
wire leading from the other pole is
placed in contact with a sponge which
is applied to the bare body of the pris-
oner. Each time it touches him he re-
eeives an electric shock that feels ex-
actly as If he were being whipped.

see whence the blows come, suffers all
the more and is soon under subsection"

Fish become ill and die from seasick-
ness when carried long distances upon
the ocean. says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. For that reason many rare
and interesting specimens captured In
tropical countries cannot be brought
alive to northern points for public in
spection. In a recent shipment OF 400
fish from Key West to New York more
than 100 died on the way and tho re-
mainder arrived in q condition that re-
quired heroic treatment to save their
lives. According to this it may be pre-
sumed that the agony endured by hu-
mans when the ship begins to pitch
and roll Is as nothing compared with
the same sufferings Of tank inclosed
fish. AS a precaution the fish are fed
practically nothing for at least one day
before being taken on board. The gal
vanized iron tanks in which the fish
are carried contain from ten to fifty
gallons Of sea water kept at a constant
temperature of about 60 degrees by
steam from the ships boilers during
the trip.

CREAM FOR DESSERTS
RECIPES FOR MANY DAINTY DISH.
ES DURING THE SUMMER.
Plain Whipped Cream Sweetened anc
Covered With Nuts or Fruit Is De-
iIcious-Makes a Satisfying
Finish to a Meal.

Where there is plenty of cream
there need be no lack of healthful and
delicious desserts and dishes, says the
Pictorial Review. Plain whipped
cream, favored and sweetened. put in
small glasses and the top sprinkled
with chopped nuts or small pieces of
fruit, makes a dainty finish to any
meal. In hot weather such desserts
are especially desirable for many rea.
sons. They are so healthful that even
little children may have them. They
are light and easily prepared, cool and
tempting.
Mousses or parfaits, which terms
simply mean frozen whipped cream,
are among the daintiest of cream dish.

cellent. The cream for these is fla,
vored, sweetened, whipped to a stiff
froth and placed in a mold, the joints
Of which are bound with strip OF
muslin dipped in melted paraftin. A
tub must be filed to depth of several
inches with cracked ice and salt. The
mold is placed on this ice and then
completely covered with more ice and
salt and left for about four hours to
ripen.
To unmold the mousse pour cold
water over the mold to remove the
salt, open and shake gently. The out
er edge of the cream will be solidly
frozen, the center ice cold but soft.
simple way to make a parafait is
to take any ice cream and at serving
time add whipped cream that is stiff
and dry. Mix quickly and serve. AL
low one pint of cream to each quart
of ice cream.
In making any ice cream where
fruit is used the fruit should be added
after the cream is frozen. Half of the
cream should be scalded If the best
results are to be obtained.
Maple Ice Cream.-One quart of
cream, one-quarter pound of shelled
nuts, one large cup of maple syrup
Chop the nuts and add to the cream
and syrup. Mix well, put in a freezer

Pistachio Ice Cream-Half cup OF

monds, one tablespoon of almond ex-
tract, four cups of cream, one cup of
granulated sugar, one-quarter teaspoon
of salt Scald part of the cream and

CAUSES OF MANY FAILURES
Endeavor to Save In Expenses by
Cheapening Cost of Houses and
Space Is Enumerated.

The Illinois station gives among
the causes of failure in the poultry
business the following:
Endeavoring to keep too many
fowls where room for one only can
be obtained, that is saving in ex-
penses by cheapening cost of houses
and space.
Buying fowls from other farms and
thus bringing disease and lice into
the f1ocks
Overlooking, the fowls being sup
piled with greater abundance under
the supposition, the more feed the
more eggs.
Cold draughts over the fowls at
night, with view to supplying fresh
air, when the temperature is low
Wasting time with sick fowls in
stead Of destroying all birds that can
not be cured quickly.
