STRAWBERRIES GROW ON ICE
Phenomenon to Be Observed on the
Old "oregon" Trail, Familiar
to the Pioneers.

On the old Oregon" trail, with its
historical associations, may be found
one Of natures marvels, probably not
duplicated In this country, at least.
Near South Pass City, Wyo, is the
Pacific spring. beautiful spot, where
the old freighters and emigrants fre.
quently stopped for few days after
the long, arduous trip across the bar.
rem plains. Here they could rest and
enjoy some Of the almost forgotten
luxuries Of life.
Pacific spring is 1000 feet above sea
level, and about, at the headwaters of
the Sweetwater river. is a series of
small valleys. or rather meadows,
sheltered by the southern extremity
OF the Wind River mountains. On the
north side Of the hills is what is local.
ly called fiat" where the grass grew
In green luxuriance. In this tall
prairie grass was found the tiny red
wild strawberry.
This does not seem marvellous in the
warm sunshine. But take a spade and
remove the turf, and solid cakes of ice
are found at depth of often less than
q foot.
The reason for this is quite simple.
The warm spring sunshine melts the
snow which runs down the montain
side. This goes on until late summer
and fall, when the small streams of
water freeze at night.
AS the warmth Of the sun at this
season touches only the top of the
mountain, the little stream soon be-
comes solid ice. By the action of the
elements and washing OF earth down
the mountain, a deposit of soil is made
on this ice, which, when the summer
rolls around once more, springs into
fresh, green life.
The few hours OF sunshine which
reaches this sheltered spot each day
suffice to ripen the Strawberries, but
cannot melt the ice beneath them or
warm the soil below the roots of these
brave volunteers.

SOME CHERRY RECIPES
DELlcAcIES WITH THIS FRUIT
AS A FOUNDATION.
Flavor Is Improved by cookIng-Ex.
ceIIent Served With TapIoea-
candIed Cherries Ono Of tho
Finest Of CONNECTIONS

Cherries are among the fruits that
.,re much improved by cooking.
Somehow they lose none of their
freshness, and are rendered much
juicier and more toothsome by slight
cooking. Here are some recipes that
make use Of them:
Cherry TapIoca.-To mako a deli.
cious cherry pudding soak one small
cupful Of tapioca in water over night.
In the morning add a pinch Of salt
and cook until clear. Then add but
ter the size Of an egg, and one cupful
Of stoned cherries (the sour cherries
are preferrable). Add to this a half
cupful Of cherry wine or little lemon
Juice and sugar to taste. Flavor with
vanilla, and bake until bubbles ap-
pear on the top. Serve very cold with
whipped cream.
Cherry Pie.-Line a pie plate with
rich pastry. Stone the cherries and
fill the pie dish. Then pour over
them four tablespoonfuls of molasses
and dust over all one tablespoonful of
flour. Put on an upper crust and bake
one-half hour in moderate oven.
When cool dust the top with a gen.
erous sprinkling Of powdered sugar.
Candled Cherrles.-To make a deli
cious confection, wash, stem and pit
one pound of large, firm cherries, put
ting a pound of sugar to one pound
of the fruit. Boil the juice and the
sugar to a very thick sirup. Put the
cherries in this sirup and let them
simmer-not boil-for ten minutes.
Then set them away in the sirup until
the next day. Then take the cherries
out of the sirup and put them In a
deep dish. Let the sirup boil up once
and pour over the cherries. This
operation should be repeated for three
mornings. On the fourth morning boil
the sirup almost to the thickness OF
candy, dip the cherries in 1t and let
them get thoroughly coated, then
place them separately on fat dishes
and dry.
Cherry Cordlal.-Very ripe cherries
make the best cordial Bruise the
fruit and mash through a colander,
sweeten to taste and boil for ten min
utes and then strain. Boil again un-
til perfectly clear, skimmlng off occa.
sionally. To every quart Of the cherry
Juice add one gill Of pure brandy.
Seal the bottles tightly and keep In
cool dark place until ready to use.
Germany Cherry Ple.-Make a cher
ry pie as usual. but omit the upper
crust. When almost done. beat one
egg until very light, and add to It one
scant half cupful OF rich cream. Pour
this mixture over the top OF the pie.
Put the pie back In the oven and
bake until the custard is set. This
makes a very attractive as we'll as an
appetizing dish.
Cherry salad.-Here is a delightful
recipe that calls for fresh cherries.
For a course in warm-weather
luncheon 1t is very good. Either the
large white or the red cherries NAV
be used. and It is most effective TO
mix the two colors. The fruit should
be stoned without breaking the fruit,
and In the place OF each stone is
placed a nut meat. Hazel nuts are
the easiest to use, but any sort Will
do. The cherries should then be
spread on lettuce leaves and used. OF
they may be stewed with sugar. water
and little lemon Juice.
