Recall In Early Greece.

In the palmy days of the Greek re-
publics, many centuries ago, as his
torians tell us, when man rose to
such a height of power or affiuence
that he became a possible menace to
the state, the citizens took a vote ON
his case as an undesirable This
was sent to the senate, and, If the
vote was sufficiently large and rep
resentative, that body passed res
olution in which the too distinguished
citizen was invited, in polite diplomat
ic terms. to take few years of retire
ment abroad-in other words, he was
officially exiled for the good of the
state. This was 'ostracism, so-called
from the fact, it is explained, that the
voting citizens wrote their names on
oyster shells, and it was instituted as
a measure of security to the common
wealth. Any citizen of great wealth
or influence who had large person
al following which might, in an emer-
gency. be used to the detriment Of the
state, was liable to receive this dis
tinguished mark of public considera-
tion. It was kind Of primitive re
call" which had the advantage of be-

bred for that purpose. In 1876, when
the first games of polo were played
in New York, it was possible to buy
ponies for prices ranging from $35 to
500. Mr. Herbert once bought pony
for S35 that afterward developed into
crackerjack and his value scared to
1000. OF course that was an excep-
ton. Nowadays ponies suitable for
polo cost from, $500 to $4,000 each.
When Mr.. Whitney prepared for his
campaign in England in 1909 he spent
$85, 900 for ponies. Since then he has
added many more to his string and
has spent at least $4,000 1t will be
seen by this that he has expended in
the neighborhood of s125,000 for po-
MES alone. One of his ponies cost
him $4,000 This was the high-water
mark paid for any pony, but many
good ponies have cost $4,000. The
duke of Westminster has spent in the
nefghborhood of s125,000 for his ag-
gregation of ponies. The ponies that
were used In the international matches
were made up in large part of those
owned by Mr. Whitney and the duke
of Westminster. Several ponies. how
ever, have been donated for the use
of the players by various Americans
and Englishmen who are interested in
the game.
at takes several years of hard
training to make pony suitable for
pole playing. He Is usually bought
when three years of age and for two
years is taught the elementary parts
of the game, such as not to shy at the
mallet, to follow the ball, to break"
quickly and to obey the slightest touch
of the reins on his neck. Most ponies
are trained so that the rider may
guide them by simply touching them
on the right or left side of the neck
with the reins.
Many persons not familiar with polo
consider the fastest pony the best
pony This is erroneous idea.
While speed is an essential qualifica-
ton for pony, he is utterly worth
less if he does not know the game
thoroughly and is not subject to in
stant control. If his speed cannot be

Many Huge cravasses.
Sperry is one of the largest glaciers
in the park and it's slopes contain
many huge crevasses. Those who
venture upon its surface must travel
with extreme caution If the weather
is warm and avalanches are falling.
Generally the guide proceeds in adj
vance, the tourists following, single
file, and attached to one another by q
strong rope. No fatal accidents have
occurred upon the glaciers of the new
park, but the guides impress 1t up
on visitors that no foolhardiness will
be permitted Sometimes the trail
leads around crevasses half a mile
long and hundreds of feet deep. or
skirts huge holes In the ice, down
which one can look and observe the

within an area of five square miles
there are so more glaciers, great and
small, to be explored, 1t is realized
that the glacier climber cannot ex-
haust the resources of this American

Cook the rice in milk until tender

sweet with powdered sugar and pour

be past master in the art of shake
making. you must possess yourself Of
q shaker. One of nickel plate that is
strong enough to stand hard shaking,
made with a screw cover and little
spout through which the shake can
be poured into a glass, costs about
two dollars. The spout Is covered
with q small tip which can be un-
screwed, and this is fastened to the
top by short chain which keeps It
from being easily lost. Shakers for
less than a dollar can also be bought,
and they are quite as satisfactory for
making a good milk shake.
For an egg milk shake, break an
egg into the shaker, add flavoring and
sweetening, half fill the shaker with
rich milk and shake vigorously, In
both hands, for three or four minutes.
Pour it into a glass and fill 1t with
milk. II plain milk shake is want
ed, put flavoring, sweetening and milk
in the shaker and shake them together
by holding one hand over the top, the
other over the bottom of the shaker,
and shaking vigorously from the Ell

If vanilla or some other fiavoring ex-
tract is used, sweetening, either In the
form of granulated sugar or a sweet
sirup made by melting sugar over the

Chocolate sirup can be kept on
hand for making milk shakes. To
make 1t, mix third of cupful of
cocoa with two cupfuls of granulated
sugar Gradually add cupful of boil
ing water and let the mixture boil for
five minutes. When it is cold add a
teaspoonful of vanilla and teaspoon
full of very strong coffee. This mix
ture of favors produces delicate
taste, but the coffee can be omitted
and twice as much sugar added In
stead. About two teaspoonfuls of the
sugar are needed for one glassful OF
milk.
If the milk shake made according
to the directions already given proves
too heavy, make 1t with two-thirds
milk and one-third apollinaris water,
drawn ice cold from siphon.

Raspberry Jelly.

Take fresh raspberries, simmer over
fire until the juice flows; then strain
and weigh the juice. Now boil for ten
minutes, adding the sugar, which
must be in the proportion of one
pound and quarter to one pound of
juice. Have the sugar heated before
putting in. Boil five minutes longer,
skim it. and pour into jelly glasses
which have been heated. This is a
good jelly for favoring creams and
requires no sugar to be added for that
purpose.
