Did You Ever Think what a bargain you are getting when you get THE LEDGER one hundred and three (103) timefe a year for Onlv $1.50 a Year? Summer Deaaerta in Attractive Forma. Simply made, easily digested sweets form the ideal deserts in warm weather and particular attention should be paid to the serving of such dainties. Appearance counts much at any time but becomes especally important when the mercury climbs high. With the luscious fruits of the season, and rennet and jelly powders delicately flavored to aid her, the least experienced cook should find the question of summer desserts easy. Sauces. Whipped cream is the first choice for a sauce with fruit desserts, and fruit sauces are especially nice with delicate cream, jellies and dishes of a farinaceous sort. These fruit syrups are made from left-over fruits and from the less perfect specimens not attractive for serving at table. They are easily made and a supply of them, sweetened and put up in small jars, gives the housekeeper a most deli cious store of flavorings for sherberts sauces and iced beverages. Frozen Dainties. Now that freezers have been so perfected that iced creams fairly make themselves, aud tireless cook ing cabinets will keep frozen des serts cold for hours in the next com partment to a pot roast that is being kept hot. everyone can get all the preparation's for the family cuisine out of the way early in the day and employ the warmer hours in less ex acting and strenuous pursuits. Very delicious desserts of the half-frozen sort are made with Jellycou. This form of gelaane is particularly easy to use and deliciously flavored in a variety of ways that make it combine attractively with fresh fruits, prunes and cordial flavorings where those are liked. One gets a list of such de licious concoctions’ in the package, and can obtain a whole set of real aluminum moulds, individual size, by saving the trade marks and forward ing a few of them to the manu facturer. Easy Short cake. Lady fingers cris-erossed. long cabin fashion with fruit in the center and whipped cream or delicately flavored French sponge jelly heaped on as a sauce makes a quick easy, and ex ceptionally delicious variety of this favorite dessert. Rennet puddings with whipped cream, shaped in individual moulds and surrounded by pineapple cut in dice or by any preferred fruit, is another attractive summer danty. The Wise Housekeeper. The wise housekeeper takes ad vantage of every good form of pre pared food that will lighten her labor, without sacrificing the nutritious and wholesome qualities of her menus, and of every device that reduces the drudgery of the household. It is wonderful what an amount of leisure a clever w’oman can contrive fior reading, dainty needlework, or any other pursuit that appeals to her, if only she will systematize the house keeping and give even the youngest members of the household a regular share in its labors. Character Building. There are no gymnastics that af ford hotter opportunities for physical development than are found in the ordinary tasks of the home; no dis cipline that instills better habits of more lasting benefit for the future welfare of the child than a regular, orderly, intelligent and cheerful per formance of tasks that contribute to the comfort of the whole family cir cle. Character is built in the home that stands air the tests and seta a mark in more widely extended fields, which is wandering a long way from the subject of easy summer catering perhaps, yet not altogether unrelated thereto nevertheless, since bodily nourishment, character formation and soul expansion are all closely allied in this world of ours. Summer Camps. The return to nature as one gets It in camp life is the ideal condition to most people though a small minority prefer suntmtodihgs where society makes strenous demands upon them and a ceaseless found of taxing and tiresome festivities is kept up. Happy the family that can live the simpe life in camp or cottage, ‘Loaf and invite the soul’’ In shady woods, and on lake or sea, but even the stay at homes can so simplify the manner of living that camping conditions are approached and relaxation secured. A judicious putting away of all un necessary funishings, makes the house cool and easy to care for, and where verandas are available life may be lived fop the most part in these out-door rooms. Trolley picnics. Picnicing by trolley is practical and possible to even the dwellers in crowded cities and towns, and if only the culinary end of the housekeeping is sinplifiej and systematically ar ranged long days out of doors under blue sky and in the shadow of green trees are possible to many more peo ple than now often avail themselves of such opportunities. Eleanor Francis. Macedonia News. Macedonia, June 23.’—There was quite a storm near this place last Sat- ruday afternoon.

Women and children are more apt to suffer from somnambulism than men, possibly because their brain is more delicately poised and therefore more easily Influenced by dreams. A som nambulist ueorly always walks with his eyes wide open, the pupils being much dilated. He is a dreamer able to act his dreams, and in this state the timid become fearless, the weak strong and the stupid brilliant Their som nambulistic condition presents many curious anomalies. The somnambulist’s sense of hearing is not often suspend ed. for, generally speaking, he will an swer questions even if whispered, but often the same ear is deaf to loud noises. The sense of smell Is frequent ly altered. Brimstone aud phosphorus are said to be pleasant scents to the somnambulist, and many cannot tell wine from water, as the sense of taste becomes perverted or entirely suspend ed. Some people walk periodically in their sleep, while others do it spasmod ically. One German doctor goes to the extrema of asserting that somnam bulists are attracted by the moon, and thus they walk on roofs of houses and at great heights because they derive a peculiar pleasure from contemplating the moon. A Tiny Death Dealer. A most agonizing death is caused by an insect half the size of a pea—a small black spider. It lives In Peru, in South America, but a few speci mens have reached Europe in ship loads of timber. Not long ago a dock laborer was unlucky enough to come upon one in the Victoria docks while unloading a bark. The tiny death deal er dropped upon the back of his hand and dug its fangs into his flesh. The bite itself was nothing, but as soon as the poison began to work the man fainted with pain. Soon afterward he came to and lived three days before the end came. This spider’s venom scorches up the blood, vessels and spreads through all the tissues, caus ing the most fearful agouy a human being can have to bear. The worst of it is that the victim lives at least two days, enduring unthinkable anguish the whole time. This spider Is luckily not common. It is known as the “specky,” and when a man who knows what the bite means is bitten he gen erally blows out bis braius.—London Chronicle. Extreme Obedience. The Youngs unexpectedly drop ped in on the Baileys just as dinner was about to bo served. The hostess, considerably disturbed, called her little daughter Helen aside and explained that there would not be enough oysters to go around and added, “Now, you aud 1 will just have some of the broth, and please do not make any fuss about it at the table.” Little Helen promised to remember and say nothing. But when the oys ters were served Helen discovered a small oyster in her plate which had ac cidentally been ladled up with the broth. This puzzled the little girl, as she could not recall any instructions covering this contingency. After studying a few moments she dipped the oyster up with her spoon and, hold ing it up as high as she could, piped out, “Mamma, mamma, shouldn’t Mrs. Young have this oyster too?”—Chris tian Register. A man who is in perfect health, so he can do an honest day’s work when necessary, has much for which he should be thankful. Mr. L. C. Rodg ers, of Branchton, Pa., writes that ho he not only unable to work, but he couldn’t stoop over to tie his own shoes. Six bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure made a new man of him.
