When the ice and salt are within an inch of bhe top of the can, remove the lid with your cream mixture, adjust the dasher, cover and •begin, be turn the Drank :slowly. As you increase the speed, add more of the salt and ice mixture, When bhe cream is the consistency of a very rich, thick cus- tard, remove the dasher, work the cream down with a wooden ladle and beat hard. Cover with clean paper, then with the can cover, and bury in ice and salt. Cover wibh a blanket or piece of clean carpet and seb away in a cold place for two hours to ripen. French Jen Crea ih.—In a double boiler, scald one pint of milk, beat together five eggs and one cup of sugar and stir slowly into the .scald- ed nlillc. When it thickens, strain and set away to cool.

Put one pint of single cream in a double boiler and when hob pour slowly over the yolks of three eggs, well beaten wibh a cupful of granulated sugar. Return 'bo the double boiler and cook until the cream 'thickens, bub do not al- low it to bail, Strain through a fine sieve, :then acid the e'nd'ed berries •and one:teaspo:bnful of lem- on juice. Calor with vegetable pink to a delicate tint and freeze until thoroughly stiff, turning the cream eko'wly to insure emoebQiness and solidity. Put one pint of dou- ble cream in a bowl'with a cupful of granulated sugar and a tea- spoonful of vanilla. Stand the bowl in a large one of ice water and whip the cream until it is thiole to the very bottom. Take a plain cylin- drical mold and line it evenly with the frozen pink ice, pressing ib down: firmly and evenly with a wooden epatnla, Then distribute :the whore berries evenly over the surface; pressing them garble into the cream so ,they will retain their position. Fill the 'hollow centre with the whipped cream, cover the open end with .a layer of 'bhe pink lee and bury in ice and salt for three hours. :When 'ready toserve dip the mold in warm water and turn out on a fiat dish.

Add one pound of powdered •sugar, the juice of one large lemon and one tablespoonful of raspberry extract. Then freeze. Useful hints. Beet tops should be used, roots and all, discarding only the leaves that are defective. If children ars wakeful and rest- less when pub to bed, try giving them a glass of good milk. To clean glass toilet bottles, put a little vinegar .and salt into the bottle, allow to stand for two holies, and then rinse crit in clear warm water. It is a good plan to pepper a car- pet thickly just where any 'heavy piece of furniture has to'rest on it, as this helps to keep moths, etc., away. To prevent the skin from discol- oration after a fall or blow, take a little dry starch, moisten it with call water, and lay it on the injur- ed part. Never pub parsley into water where it quickly decays. It will keep much fresher if placed in an a1' -tight tin or canister. -- If linings of unbleached muslin are made for the clothes baskets and tied into place each laundry day, they will be a real help in keeping the clothes clean. Dry all the food for frying as much as possible. Moisture causes the hot fat to splutter and spoils the color and crispness of the food when cooked. In washing small boy's overalls, you will find it far easier to scrub than to rub, Soap and roll them up for awhile then lay them on a washboard and scrub them with a scrubbing brash. White clothes nob in constant use can be kept white by using bo- rax powder freely. Pub it on the tops of window frames, on top and under the surface in closets and every crack, There is no more efficacious way of brightening and cleaning mater- ials with a pile, such as velvet or plush, than givingthem a salt bath. Rub the salt well into the material and let it remain there for a time ; then brush ib with a soft brush back and forth until all the tiny particles—no longer white—are re- moved. g THE BEST INFORMED MAN.

German Professor Refers to Some Unusual Ones. Signs of rain may be gleaned., says Prof. Kuck in the Hamburger Ncchriohten, not only from the 'be- havior of animals and plants and certain phenomena, of the heavens, but from Sundry signs that meet the eyes by one's hearths and homes. If ,the soot in the chimney flick- ers, or if `vthere there is an open hearth it glows on the links of the drain, while email spanks come and go; if the wood refuses to burn pro perly and only glows; if the win- dow, the saucepan on the hearth or the cement floor perspires; if the pump becomes damp, then every homekeeping person knows that rain is at hand, If again the sausage becomes flab- by and the bacon damp, and the ceythe tarnishes, and the coffee beans refuse to grind nicely, ram may be expected; if stockings ruck -le clown people say : "Water is dragging my stockings down." If smells won't leave the house rain is sure to come," says 0 wea- ther book of Leonhard Reynmann, published at the beginning of the sixteenth century, and similar say- ings are to be found to -day up and down the country. Again, if the smithy, or the smoke issuing from it, smells; if the smoke from the engine has a bad odor ; if the thatch of a cottage steams, or the clock ticks erratically, or the watch refuses to go, the country- man prophesies ,rain. Most of these signs may be ex- plained by the fact that in times of excessive crampness in the air there is a down draught, but in other cases sheer sullen:titian comes into play. Ill natured ,teasing and quar- rels are said to spoil the weather. If a girl carries a rake on her shoulder or a rake that is thrown away lies with its teeth uppermost rain cannot resist the evil charm and mush come. Even if a piece of bread and butter falls on its but- tered side this in many districts is construed as an unfailing sign of wet weather coming. If the sexton mows the grass in the, chnr•ohyard, or five women stand together, or an exceptional number of women pas up .and down the village street on a given day the weather cannot help breaking. Duet Explosions. The engineers of the U.S.A. Bu- reau of Mines have, during the mast year, investigated every mine coal - deist explosion in which more than two lives were lost, As an auxil- iary line of investigation tho Bu- reau has undertaken a study of other inflammable dusts. One in- vestigation related to a grainrnill explosion at Buffalo in which 33 lives were lost, and a co-operative arrangement has now been nuacbe with the National Milling Associa- tion for oari'ying out further stu- dies of inflammable dust in mills, the cost of the work to be borne by the •associtution, 1'• A New Lifebuoy. A novel idea for saving life at sea has just been successfully tested by its inventor, Herr Heinrich, an en- gine•er, who has been giving a ser- ies of demonstrations in the pre. maw of experts, The apparatus has the ehape of a skittle, The cen- tral' part is water tight 'canvas with two sleeves, the lower part is a metal bucket which fills itself with water as soon es it enters the sea and keeps the life-saving appesatus by its weight in a vertical ppsibiavn, the man standing on the 'lid of the bucket.

While experts continue to discuss the Practicability of M. 73aehelet's aerially suspended railway. J. Basun. a Birming- ham manufacturer. announces that he has invented a train which will travel 500 miles an hour, 203 miles an hour faster than the Baehelet train, This latest invention is of the mono- rail type, but has one of the Bachelet features, inasmuch as it will fly after attaining a certain speed. It does not rely for levitation on magnetic repul- sion, but on the principles of aviation. It will be a hybrid of a street car and an aeroplane, with an overhead trolley and propellers. The model is driven by electricity. The inventer claims that it con attain a speed of 600 miles an hour with ease and safety, and 110 expects to givve amdemonstration soon with a work - The trtain is connected with the cable at either extremity by rods terminating 111 flanged wheels, these rods serving to convey current to motors fore and aft. The inventor declares that the train 1e so designed that when it has attained a sufficient velocity it will lift itself from the velocity buffer spring and fly. This, he claims, will mean a huge saving in maintenance charges. Here's the Golf Green &'1y. Go11 greens, as well as golfers have their troubles. Public interest in golf has indirectly led to interesting is- eovery by Mr westofr, a research to ent In Prof, hefroy's department at the Royal College of Science. Ile has found an insect hitherto un- known, but now nailed the golf green fly, which destroys the tender, delicate grass on nutting greens. in the earlier stages of its existence locating for all the world like a brown seed in the chrysalis stage it conceals itself in the stem of the grass. In the last, 01' fry, stage it 1s a tiny dark brown insect scarcely distinguishable front a midge. It belongs to the same group as the wheat pest, the Hessian fly. Among the courses where the golf green ay has been detected are these et the Denham an Sunningdale clubs where It has been responsible for a great deal of damage. But at the Royal College of Science a powder has been found which effectually destroys the golf green fly, as Weil as the leather jacket and the St, Ma'lt's fly—tile. other Icnown pests which ravage golf greens. The powder shakes the greens uninhabitable by any of these pests for at least a year after its use. Latest: happenings in Big Republic Coudensed for Busy Readers. The late J. P.
