reading for every housekeeper.
A MCE DESSERT.
Somebody asks me what is the nicest
dessert that was ever made. It is “Snltapa
Roll,” and It is made as follows:
Take a mold, a melon for instance, and
line each half with a rich ice cream al
ready frozen. The cream may be of any
flavor, but chocolate or strawberry looks
tbe prettiest. Sprinkle the cream with
choice'sultana raisins, and fill the center
with whipped cream, sweetened and fla
vored. Close tue mold and pack in ice
until needed for the table, when turn out
whole. Slice through with an iee cream
knife, and serve with iced claret sauce-
This is a difh, the like of which is rarely
met, and when once enjoyed is never to be
forgotten.
ice cream with buttermilk.
"Housekeeper” of Winterville wants to
know how to make ice cream when quan
tity is especially desired.
Put one gallon of rich sweet milk in a
double boiler 1 on stove. While it heats,
beat together, three large coffee cupfsull
sugar, one heaping cupful flour and any
where from four to eight eggs. When the
milk is hot stir mixture in and cook until
thick as starch. When coo), add one-balf
gallon of buttermilk in which a small
pinch of soda has been stirred, and one
large table spoonful of vanilla. This is
very nice.
To make peach cream, let the above be
half frozen, then add the peaches well
whipped and sweetened. <

LEMON SHERBET WITH CKBAMi
‘‘Anxious inquirer,” of Athens, asks the
(Muticulare of making lemon sherbet with
cream. Here they are:
Make a rich lemonade—stronger and
much sweeter than you would make it to
drink; put in freezer and freeze until well
grained. Have ready one qtfkrt of sweet
ened cream, well ^hipped, and add to
sherbet. /
blackberry ice.
I have been asked how to make black
berry ice. Here is a good receipt:.
To one-half gallon of blackberries well
crushed and strained, add the juice of four
lomons and rind of two, one pound of
sugar, or more if desired very sweet, two
quarts of water.
Soma Summer Delicacies.
STRAWBERRY ICE WITH WHIFFED CREAM,
Sweeten well one-half gallon of ripe
sirawherries, or two quarts of canned ber-
bles,add three plots of water and the
juice,o( one lemon. Freeze. Serve with
whipped cream, sweetened and flavored.
To make the ice a more decided lose color
that it may contrast well with the cream,
add a few drops of fruit coloring, which is
perfectly harmless. Or tbe cream maybe
tinted with the fruit coloring, to match the
ice.
DELICATELY FLAVORED JELLY.
Perhaps you have never tried this. . I
have, and found it good, so wiil give you
tbe benefit of my experience. If, in mak
ing apple or peach or any light-flavored
jelly, you add two or three leaves of the
rose geranium when boiling, yon will
have a meat delicious flavor.

A CURE FOR UNREST.
THOUGHTS FOR CHRISTIAN EGOTISTS.
“I have not been able to Bleep for some
time,” said a friend to me not long since.
^1 have tried change of air, and all kinds
of doctors and drugs, but I am sleep
less.”
•‘Have yon tried change of thought?"
“No, for in my condition that is impos
sible."
I was of another opinion, and persuaded
my friend to go away from the place
where his thoughts were running in a
groove, not jpn a pleasure excursion, but to
a new and engrossing occupation. For a
time the medicine seemed too strong for
tbe disease, and though he slept, it was the
sleep of exhaustioo, and not of refresh
ment. After a few weeks the remedy be
gan to take effect. The work was easier,
and the sleep became natural. Instead of
talking of bimself and hiB feelings, be was
eager to talk of bis occupation and the
plan of life which grew out of it. The
centre had changed from self to an exter
nal objec:, and the change of thought had
come naturally.
Much ot our restlessness is only exag
gerated selfishness. One who is fully oc
cupied with plans for the good of others,
forgets himself and bis woes or weakness
es, and has no time or place for that ner
vous excitement which is often another
name for intense egotism. There is a de
votion to others which only meaus gratifi
cation of self in another form. This is tbe
selfishness of the master who treats bis
servant with consideration and kindness
in order that be may be well served; of
the patron >who bestows favors upon life
flatterers and sycophants^ of the official
and politician who gives to others that be
may receive as much again. Such var
nished selfishness affords no satisfaction
and ministers no rest to a weary and dis
turbed soul.
It is only as we subordinate aalf that we
can be happy. Ambition, vanity, envy,
jealousy, are all selfish sins. When each
one esteems others better than bimself, tbe
rivalry is not to get, but to give, and there
is no anxiety and restlessness in such a
struggle. “I came not to do mine own
will, but the will of Him who sent me,”
were the words of Jesus, and He bide us
‘‘take His yoke upon us and learn of Him,
and we shall find rest onto our souls.” We
shrink from this yoke. We wish oar own
will and way, cost what it may, It is an
age of intense egotism and personal vanity.

WHY LEFT UNREAD?
One of the last sermons preached by tbe
late Canon Liddon in St. Paul’s was on
"The * Worth of the Old Testament.*
These were bis closing words:
“As we drift along the swift, relentless
current of time toward the end of life; as
days and weeks and months and years fol
low each other in breathless baste, and we
reflect now aud then for a moment that, at
any rate for us, much of this earthly ca
reer baa passed irrevocably; what are tbe
interests, the thoughts, aye, the books,
which really command our attention?
What do we read and leave unread ? What
time do we give to the Bible? No other
book, lei us be sure of it, cao «qually avail
to prepare us for that which ties before
us; fur tbe unknown anxieties and Borrows
which are sooner or later tbe portion of
moat men and women; for the gradual'-ap-
proach of death; for the paauee into the
unseen world ; lor the sjgnt and sounds
which then will burst Upon us; for tbe
period, be it long or short, of waiting and
preparation; for tbe throne and the face
of the E.ernal Judge. Locking back from
that world, bow» shall vie desire to have
the most of our best, guide to it 1 How
shall we grudge tbe hours we have wasted
on any—be they thoughts or books or
teachers—which belong cnly to the things
of time 1” •
It pays to do everything well, because
one thing well done is a part doing of the
next thing Jbat we would not do otherwise
than well. "‘Play always as if a master
were listening,” said Schumann, himself
a musical master, who knew whereof he
advised. If the doing of one thing is, in
effect, tbe preparation for, and part doing
of, another, then it were well to perform
any part always as if the Master were lis
tening. because, if the Msster is ever to lis
ten, He is, in effect, listening always.—

A Kind of Melancholy Sweetness That
Is Not Equalled on Earth—Reasons
For Its Sadness- Old Negro Min
strels of To-day.
- Ninety yeats ago in a little grass-matted
hut beside the Niger river a white traveler
lay tossing in the agonies of a troj ical fe
ver. SoD>eumes in his delirium he mur
mured broken fragments of Scottish songs
—sometimes, as tbe pangs of the fever mo
mentarily abated, the sound ot the bag
pipes seemed to ring in his ears, and, roused
to semi-consciousness by tbe sweet illusion,
the sick man would rise from his couch of
reeds and cry: “Play the ‘Blue Bells of
Scotland, piper—play the Blue Bells.’ ”
Then a woman, dark of face, and clad
only in a bine cotton skirl, entered the but
Sitting down beside tbe invalid she began
to softly croon a song of wondrous melody.
In tbe music of that African song pathos,
sympathy and anxiety seem< d to blend
with hope and confidence, while the sound
ever soft and low, touched gently the ears
of the sufferer, sod soothed him to rest and
sleep, from which be awuke, weak, but
free from the fever’s grasp.
That traveler, says the Chicago Globe,
was Mango Park. In bis memoirs be says:
T am firmly convinced that the soft mu
sic of that itegro woman’s song saved my
IKs and gave me new strength for my un
dertaking.”
How or when the negro acquired his
lore of music history cannot tell. Herod
otus tells of tbe “sounding bows” of tbe
Ethiopians—black bows whose strings gave
out a melody sweeter than the -notes ol
lyre or dtberia, and which were in great
demand at festivals. In Roman times the
Mauritanian blacks were noted for their
musical skill, and the chroniclers of the
middle ages often speak of the sable musi
cians who deliguted tbe lordly Saracens
with their talent. In the strange, mysteri
ous land of Africa, the negro has little to
do and abundance wherewith to support
life. Doubtleat, in the earlier ages, he
lounged about bis hut day t iter day, until
a> la-t from sheer ennui, he turned to mu
sic as a meaus of employing his idle time.
As the centuries rolled on the black be
came more and more skilled in musical art
until, when his race first began to see the
shores of America, be was already a vocal
and instrumental genius of high merit
But it was among the negro slaves that
the "divine an” reached its perfection.
Tue poor African, lorn from nis native
land, and sent from ease and idleness to
hard work, nnder an exacting master,
coaid not express his thoughts in tbe ordi
nary language of common conversation,
but all the pathos, all the sorrow of his
misfortunes and bis surroundings, acting
upon bis sensitive and romantic nature
combined to produce a type of song which
the world has never seeu surpasesd. Pcr>
haps a wile or child would be sold into
servitude, far away from the poor slave
who composed the song; perhaps a kindly
master would pass beyond death’s river.
perhaps the slave himself would be sent
into a distant state, never again to see the
home which had become dear to him by
countless ties, but, whatever tbe cause,
the negro soDgs remain matchless in their
melancholy sweetness, marvelous in their
patient resignation to fate and ‘Tnasaa’s”
will.
But there were gleams of light and hap
piness in the life of the slave. In the
evening, when tbe work was over, tbe
darkies would assemble in the ‘tquanera"
and, while the ’possum and the hue cake,
the sweet potatoes and tbe corn were, be
ing cookra to perfection by the skinful
“aunties,” tbe fiddle and the banjo sound
ed merrily and the uproarious chorus min
gled with tbe shuffle of tbe dancing feet.
Front these festive occasions sprang the
idea of negro minstrelsy, which baa shoe
become so distorted that not one person in
fifty north of Mason and Dixon’s line has
any idea of real plantation mosic or of the
real depth and richness of those unique and
matchless melodies. Since the war the
negro has been free, bat be has not forgot
ten bis music, and be, and bis descendants,
even tbosj in whose veins lingers hardly a
drop of negro blood, still sing the songs
that once delighted "young maaaa” and
rose sadly around "old massa’s grave. Bat
even among the negroes there was a great
variety of music, tinged by locality, of
course, and often by the ancestral tribe ol
the negro. Thus, in New Orleans tbe
blacks had a list of songs mnch different
from tbe music of Virginia or the Caroli
nes. Tbe songs ot Carolina dwelt upon
cotton lands and rice fields; those of Lou
isiana less upon material surround Inga and
more npno sentiment aud love. •
Much French blood ran in the veins of
these people and their mnsic showed the
combination of races. Even now, in Lou
isiana, the creole women—women of Wuom
a Southerner once said that they were the
most beautiful in the world—the quadroons
and octoroons, chant their songs and lulla
bies in both French and English, and the
mellow accent of the negro tongue yet
clings to every melody, in either language.
The south may change aa tbe years pass
by, tbe negro may be blended with the
white, and lost from view in tbe millions
who will yet people that lovely southern
land, but the songs of slavery, the won
drous expressions of all the music of a hap
less race, will live forever and be sang
in future ages by men and women who
can claim no trace ot African lineage, and
who grill remember nutning of the table
composers, save tbe song.

Some Interesting Pointers In Regard

Southern Schools—Let us Have
Good, Fair Books About the
War.
Nxw York, July 33.—Just before
Sam Small left town he had a few
things to say on the politics of the
south. "The Alliance brother," said
Mr. Small, "is a horse, and galloping
through the south with great energy.
The rank and file of the southern De-
mperaqy are under the Alliance banner.
They don’t wont a third party. Tbe
Democratic party is the pasty of the
people. They are the people, and they
have a few planks which they want to
see in the platform of the People’s party.
They control seven or eight southern
states and, as Democrats, they will send
delegates to the national convention
who will, as Democrats, ask that the
.Alliance doctrine he considered. Geor
gia has 84,000 Alliance Democrats. Ar
kansas has 75,000. Nearly nil the farm
ers in South Carolina are for the De
mocracy and the Alliance.

Tahlbquah, L T., July 23.—The
Cherokee nation is in mourning for tho
death of her leading statesman, Senator
W. H. Ross, who died very suddenly of
heart disease at his home in Fort Gib
son. Senator Rom was a half breed, 08
years of age, and was educated at
Princeton college by his uncle. Chief
John Ross. He entered pnblio life at
the age of ~3. and has held almost every
office in the gift of the nation, from
chief down. He was a lieutenant colo
nel during the war in the Confederate
army. He was a brilliant orator, and
a leader of the National party.
ran
A Banner reporter caught Mr. Bran
son on the fly yesterday and held him
forja little talk about school histories.
“What do yon think of the bill before
the legislature to proscribe histories
containing the words, rebel and rebel
lion, as applied to the south,”- we
asked.
“It is all right and wrong in no
whit,” said he warmly, “bat it is firing
at a man of straw, for the makers of
school histories are long ago too smart
to expose their books to attacks of this
sort, or at least I recall but one school
history among the forty odd offered for
sale in tbe south whioh offends in this
way.
“The fact is, we need to get this
whole question out of ’he air, and fix it
upon certain books that may be con
demned specifically. It is entirely a
question of which of these books, in
cluding those written in the south, is
best, which the poorest, and bo on; for
none of them are beyond criticism.”
Won’t you illustrate your meaning,
Mr. Branson?” #
Certainly. Swinton, a northerner,
and . Chambers, a southerner,
both offend in the same
way., Mr. Swinton writes a book of
American History, containing of course
a treatment of the late war, anddoes
not mention, does not even give the
name of our Stonewall Jackson 1 what
genius in a writer it takes todothjf!
while Chambers writes a book—two
books, bless you—purporting to satisfy
Southerners, and does not mention the
name of our great Ben Hill from lid to
ltd of either book. He goes two para
graphs to Canonicus, a feathered red
skinof forgotten times—he gives the
name of Calhoun. Only this and
nothing more! (Chambers’ Primary
History.
Eggleston has about the same way of
escaping offense to the South—that is,
he ignores us as much as nossible. He
gives in his largest book just six lines
’to the South’s splendid victories in
these piping times of peace. Think of
that! Again. He says of Sherman’s
burning of Columbia, “During its oc
cupation the city was burned.” Yea,
verily! But isn’t this what Spoopen-
dyke would call a dod gas ted tneasily,
way of dodging the truth?”
“Well, what book do you think is
best?” “Excuse me, my dear sir. I
may not answer your question, without
abusing the courtesy of vour interview.
1 mean to say only that nothing short of
a comparative study of these forty odd
books of histories will enable any of us
to get at the truth. I could not assume
to settle the matter, by a study and
criticism of one or a few of them.
But I will say that it ia wrong in us
to expect Northern men to satisfy the
South, aa long as we are ourselves so
widely divided in our jdtigment.”
“Whatdo you think of Bill Arp’s re
cent attack on Montgomery’s History?”
“Well, I had this in mind when mak
ing the statement you’ve just heard.
Maj. Smith scores Montgomery severe
ly for just such statements as may be
heard within our own doors every day.
;?or instance, he takas exoeptiou to this
statement: “Secession was the work
of a few political leaders in tbeSouth.”
But only on last Monday the venerable
Dr. Chappell in our own Georgia legis
lature put this very thing even more
strongly. Said he: But for Hubert
Toombs Georgia would never have se-
oeded. Here you have Montgomery’s
few reduced to one right here at home.
Again Major J. F. Hanson an old
confederate of approved valor aud re
puted still to be of capital fighting
qualities, has recently delivered him
self upon most of the matters com
plained of in Montgomery, and in much
the same way, but much more strongly
For instance, Maj Hanson did not hes
itate to say .quoting from Alex.Stephens,
’slavery was the corner stone of the Con
federacy. He added that slavery was
the cause of the war, that secession and
the Confederacy were mere incidents of
slavery, that the war was not only
brought on by a minority but (what u
wore*) the defense of the south was left
to s minority. Hs quotes trom Davis’s
speeoh in Macon in*64,to prove this lasts
point. Would it not be well for these
two Mqjora to agree here at home,before
man flirt* expect the makers of
school histories to plumb the line with
satisfaction to us all? Pie south Is not
even agieed upon the justice or injus
tice of tbe banging of Henry Wins.
An old guard at Andereonville, an
honorable gentlemen living now almost
into tbe shadow of that place does not
hesitate to say that Wires was banged
as he deserved to be. With such differ*
ences among us here at home, what
book of history written by a man of
manly front, no dodger nor skulker nor
sneak, is likely to satisfy us all alike?"
“But ought not the horrors of John
son’s Island to be pot in on the other
side, or the whole matter of the treat
ment of prisoners in the late war left
entirely out of our histories?” “Exact
ly, and I heartily think this last should
be tbe case, doubtless tbe whole matter,
on both sides, was barbarous and with
out adequate defense. I spent a couple
of hours la*t winter in tbe sibbly Prison
in Chicago. Not a some went oat of
that building while I was
there, that was not warmly
indignant, Confederate and Yanked
alike, about the treatment of prisoners,
on both sides. Old Libby prison as a
show in Chicago ia a mistake. Stand
ing for the best orison on either side, it
is yet a vivid reminder of Elmira and
Salisbury, Johnson’s Island and An-
dersonviile. I want the whole busi
ness stricken out of our books.
Mississippi River Improvements.
* Washington, July 25.—Acting Sec
retary Grant has approved a change
made by the Mississippi river commis
sion in the allotments for river improve
ments. Tbe most important of these
changes is the deduction of $75,000 in
one sum and $50,000 in another from the
original allotment for Lake Providence
reach, and the application of these two
amounts to the general levee construc
tion and to the improvement of Plum
Point reach.
A night tu Now York.
And the sights to be seen after the
shades of the evening have fallen and
darkness has settled down upon tho
great city.
Such was the lot of the Lazy Man a
few nights since, and while his writings
may he of little interest to tLose who
have been to New York, they may be to
those who haven’t.
#
* *
The Lazy Man met up with Dilworth
Choate, an old Georgia boy who now
is ono of the best reporters on the staff
of the Now York World, and with him
took in a few of the sights.
The first visit waa paid
the police headquarters, and of all tbe
wrecks of humanity ever seen, they
were there.
The Lazy Man thought he had seen a
great deal of the world but found out
that be had barely skimmed the sur

IT DIDN’T
The Flan of Capitalists to mulct a
Town at Lincoln’s Old Homo.
Martinsville, Ills.. July 24. —Lincoln
City, Spencer county, is built niton the
site of the boyhood homo of Abraham
Lincoln. Twenty-five yeaqj ago a com
pany of Boston capitalists conceived the
idea of building UJ) a city on the historic
spot. Five hundred acres of land, in
cluding the ground on which the Lin
coln cabin stood, and the graves of his
parents on the hill, were laid off into
lots and an artificial lake was made.
Maps and illustrated circulars were
scattered broadcast through tbe land.
Auction 8alee were held and hnndreds
of lots were sold at high prices. Scores
of cottages were built and most liberal
inducements offered to attract families
there. A large number of families
moved there and tbe scheme promised
to be a success, but sickness soon inva
ded the town. No remunerative em
ployment was provided for tho citizens,
consequently in a few years the town
was abandoned • and the enterprise
proved a failure. For twenty years the
town was virtually abandoned. The
lots and cottages reverted to the com
pany, or were sold for taxes, aud the
land was again on tho market at $30 to
$40 an acre. Tbe town now is at a rail
road junction, bat little business is
done.

wretchedness. Be it said, however, to
the credit of New York that her police
headquarters are kept in a splendid con
dition.
»**
While here, I took occasion to learn
a little about reporting.for a newspaper.
Across from police headquarters each
paper in the city has a little office nicely
fitted up in a three story brick building
Whenever anything happens, it is tele
graphed at once to these offices, and Jf
it be of sufficient importance it is looked
up at once.
I also found that the “scoop” bust
nesa was practiced very little by the
reporters. They very cheerfully and
willingly lend each other all the assis
tance they ean in getting up news for
their respeotive papers.
*** ,V
A peep was then taken at the people
occupying the lower station- in life.
Of all the depravity andl wickedness
on earth, it is to be found among this
class.
The sights were of sufficient horror to
make tbe Lazy Man thank God he lived
in Athens, and to hope that no such
class would even darken the limits of
bis adopted home.
•**
The foreign population seemed to be
the most degraded. Two classes of
foreigners made op those people, viz.,
Chinese and Italians. Of
cousre, a large per cent of
the best citizens in New
York are Germans or Irishmen.
Bat in the Chinese quarters, the
scenes were such as the Lazy Man nev
er had any idea be would ever witn
Tbe opium den of the Chinaman is tbe
den ot iniquity. It is tin breeder of
disease ana crime: It is a sore upon the
body politic of America that such should
ever be allowed to exist. No wonder
the Chinese immigration bill was pass-
ed.
***
The Institution that struck the Lazy
Man as being tbe most dangerous in
New York was the bar room rnn by tbe
immoral citizen. There are more bar
rooms in New York than anyone would
even imagine. And 4 in there little
groggeri-A the dangerous element of
society meet, and drink, and put their
heads together, and oonooct schemes,
and lay plots, and oarry them oat in
the commission of crimes.
***
Whether a check shall ever be put
upon them depends on a restrictive la
that will prevent ao many of the out-
easts of the Old World landing at Castle
Garden.
It ia not only true of New
York, but it is true of every great city.
Its remedy is to be hoped for.

knowledge of tbe evils of Now York,
and resolved to look for tbe bright side
from that time on. And he did see the

These evils are attendant upon her

And then, from hour to hoar, we rot
