PLANT III TROUBLE

Shut Down Because of

Of Repairs.

Need

Marion, Ind, Dec. 17. Troubles of

serious consequence have befallen the municipal electric light plant at Mar

lon. The city officials have delayed; in making necessary repairs and as j the result the plant has been shut , down for three weeks. An expert ex- j amined.the plant and reported it asi

almost entirely out of commission and dangerous to operate. It has been pro

posed that a new plant be built and j this has brought about the delay. It is claimed the new concern can be put up and operated cheaper than re

pairs can be made to the old concern.

SOMETHING NEW.

A Delicious Dessert That Will Appear at Christmas Dinners. A new dessert has made Its appearance which is as delicious as it is at tractive In appearance. It can be either ordered from the confectioners or made at home, and the latter Is preferable at all times. Vanilla ice cream, sponge and fruit cake will be needed. The cakes are cut from loaves and should be an inch thick wher sliced and should fit an oblong mold. When the cream Is frozen to a mush, pack an inch layer In the mold, then place the fruit cake on this, then cover with another layer of the cream, over which lay the sponge cake, and then add the last cream layer, which

VA.KIX1Z1A ICS CRKAM WITH SPONGE AND FBUIT CAES. should fill and overflow the mold. Lay over this an, oiled parar. A buttered one will do or three thicknesses of paraffin paper. Put the cover over this, allowing the paper to come down over the sides, tie securely in place and then run melted lard between the cover and the pan to prevent all possibility of the salt and Ice leaking In. Pack in salt and Ice for three or four hours. When ready to serve remove the coverings, wipe the outside of the mold with a hot cloth and Invert the mold on to a cold dish, when the cream loaf will slip .out. An extra addition can be served in the whipped cream sauce tinted with yellow or pink, using egg yolk for the first and a bit of boiled beet juice lithe latter instance, this being placed in the cream before whipping. But this dessert is just as tasty without the sauce. Should this be found too much trouble, then the (cream can be dished from the freezer on to slices of the fruit and sponge cake and wired.

A fery boat In use in the harbor of Glasgow is supplied with a deck which can be raised and lowered seventeen feet. In fact! it is a floating elevator. This feature is necessary because of the difference of the levels of the two landing stages made use of by the craft.

Rudyard Kipling as a Preacher. On one occasion Kipling proved himself a capital preacher. He was crossing the Pacific on an Empress liner when a Eeaman died, leaving a widow and a large family. On the ship's notice board next day there appeared the announcement: "9 p. m. Sermon by a layman." At the appointed time a curious crowd discovered Kipling standing on an improvised platform, from which he preached a fifteen minutes' sermon. How eloquent it was may be gathered from the result a collection for the widow of over 70 from a congregation of fewer than 200.

Mounting a Hers. "Mount your horse on the left side, said the riding school teacher. "Why? What difference does It make?" said the pupil. -If s the rule." "But why should It be the ruler "Because i the past horsemen wore swords. They wore them on the left hip; hence had they mounted on the right side the sword would have got In the way. So they mounted on the left, and we still mount on the left. Horses are accustomed to It, and if you try to get op from the right you are liable to be kicked.-'
