PUBLICANS' SIGNS.

From London Tit-Bits.

FROM LONDON 11t-bfts.
Doggerel they may be considered by
some people. but there is no doubt that
much amusement has been caused and
many customers attracted by the quaint
and curious rhymes which are often to he
found adjoining the walls and signposts
of our old inns. Poetical signboards for
public houses. Of course. are no novelty.
For centuries, in fact, it has been the
custom OF poetical publicans to crack a
jest in rhyme for the amusement of Gus
toners. and examples of these effusions
are still to be seen.
1t is not often that public house signs
warn people against the evil OF drunken
ness but the little village of Great Bud
worth. i'm Cheshire. has such a curiosity.
Over the doorway of the George and
Dragon is inscribed:
As ST. George I'm armed array
Did the fiery dragon sisy,
SO mayest thou, with might no less,
Stay that dragon Drunkenness.
There are several inns which display
the following lines on signboards which
take the form Of painted five-barred
gate:
This gate hangs high
And hinders nome
Refresh and pay
And travel
A noted inn in England. the White
Horse. bore on it's sign this allusion to
four other inns in the immediate locality:
My White Horse shall bite the Bear
And make the Angel Hy:
Shall turn the Ship botfom-side up,
And drink the Three Cups dry.
Very often. however. rhymes take the
form Of warnings to customers who seek
to drink but not to pay. Here are two or
three examples to be seen on signboarde
In various parts Of the country:
Pay today and trust tomorrow.
You never know what trust:
Take my advice. don't ask or borrow,
Since man to man is unjust.
Two other verses run as follows:
Ny beer is good. my measure just:
Excuse me. friends. cannot trust.
Free Free to to s Sa free free 10 10 DRINK tnink
Free to pay, free TO stay.
Yet another runs:
Friendly 'Advice-Drink moderately -pay hon.
quietly. Let these lines be mans SORROW;
pay today, and trust tomorrow.
Until very recently. in Red Cross street,
Leicester. there was a sign depicting two
idiotic-loOking individuals drinking pots
Of beer, with the wording beneath, I'VE
three loggerheads be-" Who and where
the third '1oggerhead' was has puzzled
laugh when the solution dawned upon
the queStioner.
A little village inn outside Gloucester
has double-sided sign bearing the fol-
Before the hill you do 60 up
Step In and have CHEEKY cup.
On the other side it is:
You're down the hill, all dangers past
Come in and have friendly glass.
The composer Of the rhyme inscribed on
the Chequers Inn, Yorkshire, was not q
Ounce in his business. for the alluring in.
vitation-
Be not in haste,
Step In and taste
Ale tomorrow for nothing.
suggests boundless possibilities to the.
thirsty. Things, however, are not all:
ways what they seem. and the customer
coaxed inside by this generous call learns.
TO his sorrow that tomorrow is always
to come.

RICE DISHES.

Rice is a cheap and wholesome food,
and in combination with other foods
makes a most nutritious dish. Cream
is the ideal combination with rice, as
1t supplies the fat to balance the
starch, and with the addition of sugar
we have a we'll balanced meal.
imperial Rice Pudding.-Soak
third of a box of gelatine a half hour
in a half cup of water. Put pint and
half of milk in double boiler; when
boiling, stir in a half cup Of rice,
half teaspoonful Of salt, and cook un.
til the rice is perfectly tender. Then
add half cup of sugar. Remove from
the stove, and when cool add a tea.
spoonful of vanilla and the gelatine;
@hen cold add a pint of whipped
cream, and put into a mold to harden.
Serve very cold.
Rice Flour Cream.-Soak half box
of gelatine in a pint of cold water for
half hour. Put a quart of milk In
double boiler; when boiling hot add
a tablespoonful Of rice flour blended
with cold milk, and four tablespoon
fuls of sugar. Stir and cook until the
starch is we'll cooked, remove from the
heat, add the gelatine and fold in the
whites Of two eggs beaten stiff; flavor
with vanilla and set away in mold to
harden. Serve with whipped cream
and sugar
Baked Rice Custard.-Cook a cupful
of rice. Beat four eggs with a cupful
of sugar add little salt and quart
of milk. Mix all together with the
boiled rice, flavor with cinnamon or
nutmeg, and few raisins may be add
ed If liked; dot the top with bits OF
butter and bake in we'll buttered pan
set in hot water. Bake until tested
with knife it comes out clean Any
custard or souffle should be baked in
a hot water bath, as it is a saving OF
the food nothing sticks to the well
| buttered dish.
