SHERBERTS and ices. ! GOLF YARN BY LONGWORTH WONDERFUL WESTINCHOUSE SEVEN YEARS AGO Rochester Chemist Found a Singu larly Effective Medicine. William A. Franklin, of the Frank lin & Palmer Chemical Co., Rochester, N. Y., writes: "Seven years ago I was suffering very much through the failure of the kid neys to eliminate the. uric acid from my system. My back was very lame and ached If I overexerted myself in the least degree. At times I was weighed down with a feeling of languor and depression and suffered continually from annoying ir regularities of the kidney secretions. I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills and began using them. I found prompt relief from the aching and lameness in my back, and by the time I had taken three boxes I was cured of all irregularities." Sold by all dealers; 50 cents a box. Foster-Mllburn Co.; Buffalo. N. Y. SPORTS OF CHILDREN. Skipping rope Is a childish pastime of ancient origin. In place of a rope, a vine stripped of leaves was original ly used. The childish amusement of riding a cane la of great antiquity. It was practiced by 'the children of Greece and ancient Rome. The game of hide and seek Is an other yeuthful pastime of ancient origin. H came from Europe about the beginning of the seventeenth cen tury. The spinning of " tops, a favorite amusement among children in the spring, also came from the Greeks. Records show that this kind of fun was In vogue at the time of Vergil. Leap-frog is mentioned in the works of both Shakespeare and John son. It has been played by children from early times, and is still a fa vorite game with boys. The flying kite derived its name from its originally being made to re semble that species of bird called a kite. The amusement of kite flying is about two centuries old in Europe. Probably It originated in China, wheve, so records tell, the practice of flying kites is very ancient. COMMERCIAL CULLINGS. The quantity of frozen meat exported from Argentina last year was 3,325,124 carcasses of sheep and lambs, and 1, 922,757 quarters of beef. The mineral production of France consists of lead, zinc, copper, coal and lignite, Iron, antimony, arsenic and salt. An immense quantity of building stone and slate Is quarried. The ce ment and phosphate production Is large, aggregating sums far up in the millions of dollars. Coal is the chief mineral product. In the year 1890 Germany sent about $10,710,000 in silks to the United States and Japan sent $1,190,000 worth. Ir. 1904-5 Germany sent about $4,998,000 of silk goods to the United States, while Japan sent $5,593,000 worth. Japanese exports of silk goods have tripled with in ten years, increasing from $7,470,000 In 1895 to $22,410,000 in 1904-5, and the ascending movement continues. Leaving a Card. "But, surely you are the man I gave some pie to a fortnight ago." "Yes, lidy; I thought p'r'aps you'd like to know I'm able to get about again." Tatler. KIDNEY TROUBLE Suffered Two Years Relieved In Three Months. R. C. B. FIZER, Mt. Sterling, Ky., . writes : I have Buffered with kidney and. bladder trouble for ten years past. " Last March I commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have not used it since, nor have I 'felt a pain. " I believe that I am well and I there fore give my highest commendation to the curative qualities of Peruna." Pe-rtMM for Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Geo. H. Simser, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes: " I had not been well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and. In fact, tett badly nearly all the time. "This summer I got so very bad I thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote to yon and began at once to take Peruna and Manalm. "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and now I feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me and made a different woman of me altogether. I bless the day I picked up thelittle book and read of your Peruna.' ft la the business of the kidneys to remove from the blood all poisonous materials. They must be active all the time, else the system suffers. There are times when they need a little assistance. Peruna is exactly this sort of a rem edy. It has saved many people from disaster by rendering the kidneys ser vice at a time when they were not able tevteav their own burdens. Backed His Belief with Courage and Fortune and Overcame All Obstacles. George Westinghouse seems to flour ish on opposition. When everybody says it is impossible to do a thing, he does it. They said the brake was Im possible, but for nearly 40 years it has been controlling the movements of trains in all countries, writes Arthur Warren, in Success Magazine. They said that the alternating current was impossible to use in commercial prac tice. But Westinghouse used it. Then they said that it was a dangerous thing to have in a community, and it would kill populations. "They" were the ex perts. And they tried to have laws passed forbidding the use of this death dealing current. In the flies of the North American Review of about 20 ypars ago may be found a well-writter and forcible article supporting these pessimistic contentions and warning tho country against the impracticabil ity and danger of the alternating cur rent The article was written by Thomas A. Edison. Westinghouse backed his belief with his courage, his fortune, and his inventiveness; he em ployed experts of his own and brought others from abroad, and before long the alternating current was every where in use for the transmission of electrical power over long distances. He made it practicable and conquered tho dangers. Hew much temperament has to do with health, or health with tempera ment, and both with success, we do not always know, but we can some times guess. Mr. Westinghouse is one cf the most sanguine of men, and has never had an illness. In that big frame of his the red blood flows and the human engines work full-powered H has been written of as "a hundred thousand horsepower man." No phrase could better describe him. The men who are near him say that his capacity for work is greater than that of any ten of his subordinates, and he bas 25,000 men working in his industries. MUST FURNISH PASSES. Railroads in France Issue Annual Tickets to Senators and Deputies. With the pass-bribery nuisance France deals in summary fashion. Railroads have no chance to win the good will of French deputies and senators by surreptitious favors. Every French senator and deputy has by law an annual pass on every rail road. This the government compels the railroads to furnish, says Every body's Magazine. v Then the govern ment deducts for the pass ten francs a month from the pay of the senator or deputy. The railroads get nothing. That is the extent of that perform ance. The passes are provided to af ford the senators and deputies op portunity to acquaint themselves with conditions in the country and every part of it. The president of the republic must be transported on public business at the expense of the railroads. That Is the law, and the service entails no kind of obligation on the president's part. Even if the companies were to furnish him with a special train of beautiful cars that would mean noth ing, because they are obliged to trans port him with their best devices any way. Why She Wouldn't Pay. "I shall have to ask you for a ticket for that boy, ma'am," insisted a con ductor, speaking to a quiet looking lit tle woman seated beside a boy on a Pennsylvania train. "I guess not," she replied, with de cision. "He's too old to travel free. He oc cupies a whole scat, and the car's crowded. There are people standing." "I've never paid for him yet," the woman retorted. "You've got to begin some time," persisted the conductor. "Not this trip, anyway." "You'll have to pay for that boy, ma'am", or I'll stop the train and put him off." "All right, put him off, if you think that's the way to get anything out of me." "You ought to know what the rules of this road are, ma'am. How old is tnat boy?" "I don't know. 1 never saw him be fore." Philadelphia Ledger. English Railway Accidents. The general report of the London board of trade on railway accidents in 1904, states that the danger of railway traveling has been reduced to such a point that in 1904 the chances against a passenger being killed in a train accident in the course of a given jour ney were more than 200,000,000 to 1 The risks incurred by railway serv ants, especially those concerned with th movement of traffic, are of course much greater. In their case there is an element of danger which cannot be cwminated though Its effect may be minimized by the adoption of suitable appliances and safeguards. The in creasing use of such appliances is hav ing an appreciable effect, but it is claimed that the carelessness engen dered by familiarity with dangerous conditions appears to be responsible for so many accidents that it is un reasonable to expect any marked re duction in' the total number of acci dents to railroad servants. His Superstition. . "Jinx must be superstitious." "What leads you to think so?" "He says he does not believe la borrowing umbrellas." "No, he believes In stealing them." -Houston, Post How the Former Originated and on the Making of Various Frozen Desserts. Sherbet is a modern evolution of an ancient cooling drink common in the east from the days of the crusaders. Then, as now, it was iced and made from fruit juces slightl acidulated with lemon or tamarind juice and chilled with snow. By and by came European traders to the land of the rising sun, who first enjoyed ( sherbet au naturel. Then, enfeebled by the climate, they added alcohol to the original thirst quencher, but still drank it cold, chilled by snows. Re turning north, it occurred to some wise traveler to alter the temperature ,so he added boiling water to the mixture of water, sugar, fruit juices and alco hol, producing thereby our modern "punch." The difference between a water ice and a sherbet is one of tex ture or body, the sherbet being thin ner. Parfaits, biscuits and mousse3 are whipped cream with or without eggs. They are not stirred while freez ing. In parfaits and biscuits the sugar and water mixture is cooked until it spins a thread, and if eggs are used the sirup is slowly beaten into the yolks or whites. Water ices are fruit juices sweet ened and frozen. When making an ice cook- the sugar to a sirup before add ing the fruit juice and water. The quantity of sugar must depend upon the fruit employed, whether it is sweet or acid. In making mousse a little gejatin is often added to give it body when removed from the mold, as it is frozen without stirring. A table spoonful of granulated gelatin is used to a pint of cream. Mousse, parfaits and biscuits are always molded, usual ly in individual forms. Abroad the term "ice" is applied to any frozen dessert, but in this country It usually means water ices. Ice cream is divided into two varieties Phila delphia and Neapolitan. The ordinary (Philadelphia) ice cream is made with cream, sugar and flavoring, and the Neapolitan with custard of different de grees of richness. Both are stirred while freezing. In making Philadel phia cream scald half the cream and whip the remaining half. To freeze the cream raw gives a rough and grainy ice cream. For Neapolitan cream a boiled custard is the founda tion. Be careful to scald the milk, and cook it with the yolks of the eggs first, then add tlie whites, beaten stiff, and cook again. When cool, add the cream, beaten stiff, and the flavoring. A good rule for custard is four egg3 to one pint of milk and one pint of cream. CARE OF REFRIGERATOR. Soon as Anything Is Spilled, Wipe It TTp, Keep Pipes Clear, and Plenty of Ice. Essential to the proper care and use of a refrigerator are these three things: Clearing out the waste pipes, instant removal of anything spi.led, ana a full supply of ice. If the com partments in which the food is kept be wiped out carefully once a week, no crumbs, drops of liquid, or particles of food being left to accumulate mean while, there will be no need of other attention. Once a week let the ice supply run low; then remove the ice, wash the flour under the rack upon which th! ice rests, take out trap and removable drain pipe, and, with a cloth fastened to a rod or wire, clean out these with, a strong solution of sal soda. Pour the same down the remainder of the waste pipe, making sure that the pipe is cleaned as far down as can be reached. Keep the ice compartment filled with ice; a large body of ice keeps better than a small one and insures better circulation of air. Keep the doors shut. Keep milk in closed bot tles or in a compartment by itself; also butter, as they quickly absorb the flavors of vegetables and other strong foods. Chicago Tribune. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. The newest pincushion has a pert little bow on top made of ribbon to harmonize .with the color of the cush ion, the latter being covered and ruf fled with lace. Tlje little Japanese girl is appearing on many of the new pillows. She and her omnipresent parasol may be had on the heavier linens, tinted and ready to be worked with silk. Butterflies make beautiful dance fa vors, with their wings wide spread and sprinkled with gilt so that they glit ter in the light, done in red, white or even black crepe paper and placed on the ends of wands finished in materia to match. .A charming set of buttons for a lace blouse may he made of superposed frills of Valenciennes lace gathered to the center and stitched to a foundation of net, with a tiny button or flat bead on the center of each to hide the join. These are, of course, not intended for "working" buttons, but only to serve for decoration. Some of the handsomest buttons are are made in the ateliers of the dress makers from original or imported de signs. In this way the artistic gown has buttons in perfect harmony and buttons can almost make and easily mar a gown. The manufacture at home of original buttons is an easy and attractive task, the success of which depends on good eye for color, together with quick fingers and a due regard for exactitude of detail and finish.

Nicholas Longworth, of Ohio, Is a golf enthusiast who plays a good game, and Victor Murdock, of Kansas, a golf enthusiast who plays a very indiffer ent game, when swapping stories in the house cloakroom' the other day, says the Washington correspondent of the Kansas City Times. "The most remarkable golfer I ever knew," said Representative Longworth, "was a man out in Cincinnati, who had a passion for the game, but who com plicated that fervor with an appetite for Scotch highballs that was the won der of Ohio. "His theory was that there should be a drink eerver on every tee, and ho worked it by means of an army of caddies. One afternoon he came in and announced that he had renounced the game. " 'What's the matter, Jim?' said a friend. " 'Oh,' he said, wearily, "it's no use. I give it up. Whsnever I can see the ball I can't hit it; and whenever I can hit it I can't see if" Mr. Murdock told this one: "Out in my town Judge Dale, of the district bench, Is about the best golfer In our club. One day he had a case on trial in which several small boys had been subpoenaed as witnesses. Ad dressing a bright youth of about 12 summers. Judge Dale solemnly In quired: 'My boy, do you understand the nature of an oath?' "'Oh, yes, sir,' quickly replied the youth. 'I often caddied for you, sir" UMB WASTED WITH ECZEMA Suffered Untold Agonies Doctor Said It Was the Worst Case Won derful Cure by Cuticura. "I used the Cuticura Remedies for eczema. The doctor said it was the worst case he ever saw. It was on both limbs, from the knees to the ankles. We tried everything the doc tors knew of, but the Cuticura Rem edies did the most good. I was obliged to lie with my limbs higher than my head, for the pain was so terrible I could not walk. I suffered untold agonies. One limb wasted away a great deal smaller , than the other, there was so much discharge from it. I found the Cuticura Reme dies very soothing, and I still keep them in the house. I am very thank ful to say that I am cured. I found the Cuticura Remedies all that you say they are. I hope that you may be spared many years to make the Cuticura Remedies for the benefit of persons suffering from the torture of skin diseases, such as I had.
