HOT WEATHER DRINKS.

During the hot weather there 1s
,great demand for cooling drinks, and
we prefer those made at home with
materials which are unquestionable,
rather than many which are served In
bottles or at the fountains. In the fol-
lowing. there surely will be found one
which will suit the palate Of all:
Ginger Water.-This is tn old-fash-
1oned drink which used to be carried
to the fields to refresh the tillers OF
the soil who have made our country
what it is today. This drink is just
as popular today among the descend
ants Of the early fathers Of our coun-
try, and is so easily prepared that It
SHOULD be more frequently used. Take
q tablespoonful Of ground ginger, add
three of sugar and a pint of ice cold
water: stir we'll and serve. In the
olden times they sweetened this with
.moIasses.
Rhubarb Drlnk.-This is a very re-
ifreshing as we'll as wholesome drink
for children. Boil seven or eight
stalks of pie plant in quart Of water
for ten minutes; strain into a pitcher
in which has been placed the thin rind
of a lemon. Add four tablespoonfuls OF
sugar and let stand for few hours
before serving.
Oraneeade.-Make sirup by boil
ing half pound Of lump sugar with
a cup Of water. Pare four oranges
very thinly, put the rinds in pitch
.er and pour on the boiling hot sirup.
Let stand until cold. then add the
Juice OF the oranges and six lemons.
Add a quart of ice cold water, and
lserve.
Boston Cream.-This is a drink
which will keep, and will be ready to
use in an emergency: Take two
pounds OF lump sugar and five pints
of water; boil together fifteen min
utes. When cool add half an ounce OF
lemon extract, two ounces Of powdered
tartaric acid and the whites Of three
eggs we'll beaten. When quite cold,
bottle. When required for use, pour
a few tablespoonfuls of the mixture
in a glass. fill with three parts water,
stir up we'll and add a quarter Of q
teaspoonful OF soda. Stir brlskly and
serve at once.

Home-Raised Colt.

Still the wonder grows that a greater
number of farmers do not raise
more horses and mules. Several
DAYS ago Mr.. w. Z. Winn sold a
home-raiSed colt to mis- brother, Mr.
J. (. Winn, for 5000. Those who
saw the fine young mare say she
was great bargain at that prlce.
The Winn brothers can afford to
keep brood mares, because they al
ways grow an abundance Of corn at
home to supply the farm.

DESSERTS WORTH TRYING.

There are few people who are will
ing to forego the pleasure OF a des-
sert, and usually feel if none is pro-
Yided that they have been defrauded.
ORANGE Charlotte.-Soak one and q
half tablespoonfuls of gelatine i'll a
third of a cup OF water. To third or
a cup Of boiling water add cupful OF
sugar, three tablespoonfuls OF lemon
juice and 4 cup OF orange juice and
pulp Chill in pan OF ice water;
when quite thick beat until frothy and
add the we'll beaten whites OF three
eggs beaten stiff and the whip from
two cupfuls Of cream. Line a mold
with sec ions Of orange. Turn in the
mixture and chill.
College Pudding.-Mix half cupful
of butter with one and half cups OF
sugar, add four eggs we'll beaten, one
half cup Of strained apple sauce. 8
fourth OF teaspoonful Of salt and the
juice Of lemon. Line pudding dish
with plain pastry, fll with the mix
ture and bake in a moderate oven.
Serve with or without cream.
BIueberry DumpIins.-Sift together
two cupfuls Of -four, four teaspoonfuls
of baking powder and teaspoonful OF
salt. Add tablespoonful Of butter,
and when we'll rubbed in add three
fourths of a cupful Of milk. Put two
,cupfuls of sugar over four cupfuls OF
blueberries with a tablespoonful Of
vinegar, put into a buttered baking
dish. Cover with the flour mixture
and bake forty-flve minutes. Serve
from the dish in which it was baked.
Put a layer Of ground pecans or
walnuts over the custard pie; the
nuts will form crust over the top,
and when baked will be truly deli
cious.
Peach ice cream is delicious. Press
the peaches through sieve after peel
ing, then add to any Ice cream mixture
favored with almond.
