AN OLD DARKEY’S IDEA OF
ETERNITY
The idea of endlessness—-who can
express it? We may smile at the
effort of a certain colored preacher,
but who of us can surpass him?
Everybody’s Magazine tells of a
negro minister who in the effort to
impress upon his congregation the
length of eternity used this illustra
tion: “If a sparrow, bredern,
should take a drop of water from
the Atlantic Ocean off Coney Island,
and with this drop of water in his
beak should hop a hop a day until
it reaches the Pacific Ocean at San
Francisco and when it got there
should let the drop fall into the
Pacific, and when this was done
should turn around and hop a hop
a day all the way back to Coney
Island and do the thing over, and
keep doing it until it carried the
whole Atlantic Ocean over into the
Pacific, it would only then be early
morning in eternity.”

DESERVING DESSERTS
ef DESSERT has to do
something to justify its
existence besides being
Tfgm sweet. It’s an integral part
*"""** of the meal, after all, and
ought to contribute its quota of
well-being to the partaker. That’s
just what the following desserts
do because they all contain Ha
waiian pineapple, a fruit the acids
of which turn alkaline in the body,
and which contains an enzyme,
called bromelin which is a power
ful aid to digestion. All of which
would not be very interesting to
a dinner just wanting a tempting
dessert, if it didn’t taste so good.
But, whether you eat it hot or
cold, it does.
This Is a Hot One
Steamed Pineapple Pudding:
Sift together onK. and one-half
cups flour, three teaspoons baking
powder and one-fourth teaspoon
salt. Add three-fourths cup
liquid consisting of the syrup
from an 8-ounce ca.i of pineapple
tidbits and sufficient water to
make the required amount. Add
two tablespoons melted _butter.
Beat two egg whites stiff, add
three tablespoons sugar and fold
into the batter. Fill individual
buttered molds half full of the
batter, add two or three tidbits
from the can to each, and cover
with the remaining batter. Steam
thirty minutes. This recipe makes
from six to eight molds, depending
on their size. Serve with the fol
lowing
Sauce : Mix one-half cup sugar
with two teaspoons flour, and add
one and one-third cups water.
(Use part canned pineapple syrup
if you have any on hand). Boil
