Morally speaking, disaster and tri¬ 
umph are impostors. The cheers of the 
moment are not what a man ought to 
think about, but the verdict of his con¬ 
science and the consciences of mankind.

Hot Weather Desserts. 
F ROZEN COFFEE—Prepare a thick 
sugar syrup by boiling together a quart 
of water and two large cupfuls of sugar for 
fifteen minutes. Skim the syrup care¬ 
fully, add a large cupful of the strongest 
black coffee and a tablespoonful of gel¬ 
atine that has been softened in a little 
cold water. Cool and strain when the 
gelatine is' dissolved, stir in the stiffly 
whipped whites of two eggs, and freeze 
to the consistency of soft snow. Serve 
in thin, tall glasses, each portion capped 
with a tablespoonful of sweetened 
whipped cream. 
Raspberry Ice.—Make a syrup of four 
cupfuls of water and one and two-thirds 
cupfuls of sugar; boil for 15 minutes. 
Cool. Add two cupfuls of juice, strained 
from mashed raspberries through a 
cheese cloth, and two tablespoonfuls of 
lemon juice. Freeze. 
Maple parfait.—Beat four eggs slight¬ 
ly ; pour on slowly one cupful of hot ma¬ 
ple syrup. Cook in double boiler, stir¬ 
ring constantly, until mixture coats the 
spoon. Cool. Add one pint of thick 
cream beaten until stiff. Mold; pack in 
ice and salt and let stand three hours. 
Frozen Biscuit.—One pint of sweet 
cream, 24 macaroons, two-thirds of a 
cupful of pulverized sugar; whip the 
cream to its utmost consistency, then 
pulverize and add the macaroons, then 
the sugar and a scant teaspoonful of 
vanilla. Pack in a tin pail that has been 
rinsed with cold water, cover tight and 
pack in ice and salt. It will be ready 
to use in five or six hours, and will be 
found delicious. 
Lemon Ginger Sherbet.—Wipe eight 
lemons thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth 
and from two of them shave off the very 
thin yellow peel which contains the fla¬ 
voring oil. but be careful that you do not 
get any of the white, bitter part of the 
rind. Then cut all the lemons in half 
and press out the juice, strain it. Put 
four cups of granulated sugar in a sauce¬ 
pan with two quarts of boiling water and 
boil until clear, skimming off the scum as 
it forms; then add the lemon juice and 
strain all through a piece of cheesecloth. 
Beat the white of an egg until light and 
foamy, but not stiff, and pour the strain¬ 
ed syrup over this; mix well and turn 
into a freezer; turn until the mixture 
is stiff: then stir in quarter of a pound 
of candied ginger sliced thin and let 
stand a little while before serving. 
Peanut Brittle Cream.—Make a quart 
of vanilla cream by the usual rule. 
When this is half frozen take out the 
dasher and add a half pound of peanut 
brittle or two or three bars of peanut 
candy put through the meat-chopper; 
the result is a light brown cream tast¬ 
ing like caramel, with the nuts all 
through it; it may be served in glasses 
or put in a brick. 
A Miner’s Safe. 
E VERY year we are asked for methods 
of keeping food without ice, during 
hot weather. The following advice 
was given us some time ago by a reader 
in Arizona: 
The miner’s safe has a light wood 
frame about four feet square and four 
feet high, running to a peak at the cen¬ 
ter of the top about six feet from the 
base. This frame stood on four legs 
about one and one-half or two feet above 
the ground. It was finished completely 
with wire fly-screen, had a shelf and a 
door. The whole thing was then covered 
with burlap. It stood in a shed at the 
rear of the shack and the ground under¬ 
neath sloped gently toward the canyon 
below. At the top of the peak was a 
hose from which water dripped constant¬ 
ly onto the safe, and was absorbed by the 
burlap. The evaporation kept meat and 
other articles cool in the warmest weath¬ 
er and the extra water drained away. 
The water was piped from the mine 
above. These safes are used a great deal 
in the West by large contractors who 
have large numbers of men at work far 
away from cities and shipping points and 
who have to board their help. 
There is also used a great deal in 
Southern California, a safe known as a 
“cool closet” or cupboard. It is the same 
as any other small cupboard, built in the 
house, but has no floor nor top. These 
are made of wire fly-screen. It has mov¬ 
able shelves of screen. The air circu¬ 
lates in through the cellar and out 
through the top through ventilators set in 
the floor or walls for the purpose. Each 
apartment in the large apartment houses 
of Los Angeles has its own cooling closet. 
Of course the screen shelves are stayed 
with slots and are movable. The door 
to this closet is solid. 
Country Picnics. 
C OUNTRY picnics when held at the 
home of some one of a neighborhood 
usually mean a prodigious amount of work 
to be done by the receiving family, first in 
borrowing from the neighbors, dishes, 
plates, knives, forks, spoons, etc.; next 
in more or less cooking and in waiting 
on the assembled guests; and lastly the 
washing up of dishes and returning them 
to their respective owners. Let me tell 
you the way we do in our suburban 
neighborhood. 
So far as the eating is concerned, the 
word is passed that a meeting will be 
held at neighbor Brown’s, Jones’ or Rob¬ 
inson’s, as the case may be, and at the 
appointed time will be seen the members 
of the different families wending their 
way toward the designated home—each 
family bearing its usual supply of eata¬ 
bles for such an occasion, which have 
been previously cooked and prepared in 
each individual home, and also for every 
person—who expects to partake of the 
good things—is carried from each respec¬ 
ting home a generous-sized flat tin pan—- 
usually a 12 to 14-inch milkpan—with 
knife, fork, spoon, and tea or coffee cup. 
and a plate may be added if wished. 
When the repast is served, all eatables 
are set on tables, pies and cake properly 
cut, etc., and each visitor with individual 
pan forms into line around the table and 
helps himself or herself to the viands, 
placing same in the pan and then carry¬ 
ing it to the place chosen for eating. 
Generally during Summer months we 
quickly arrange ourselves in groups on 
the grass under the trees, etc. 
Hot coffee, lemonade or other suitable 
drinks are usually supplied by the host. 
After the eating each family gathers up 
their respective lot of pans and dishes 
and carries them away, as they are. 
washing them at home. In this way the 
work as well as the play becomes a com¬ 
munity affair and no one family is bur¬ 
dened with a lot of hard work in order 
that the neighbors may have a good time. 
Just try it and you will very soon “get 
the habit.” J. B. barlow.
