Ritles For Candy Making-
Mrs S. T. Rorei tells how to make can¬
dies at homo in The Ladies Homo Journal
and gives the following rules, which in¬
sure the success of the work: “Never
stir the sugar and water after the sugar
has dissolved. Wipe down constantly
tlfs-gianules forming on the side of the
saucepan. Do not shake or move the
saucepan while the sirup is boiling. As
soon as the sugar begins to boil watch it
carefully, having iu your hand' a bowl of
ice water, so that you may try the sirup
almost constantly. Have everything in
readiness before beginning. If the sugar
grains, use it for old fashioned cream
candy or sugar taffy. It cannot be usoct
for fondant. Use only the best granulat¬
ed sugar for boiling and confectioners'
XXX for kneading. If your fondant
grains without apparent cause, you may
have-boiled it a little too long. A few
drops of lemon juice or a littlb cream of
tartar will prevent this. Fondant is the
soft mixture which forms both the inside
of the French candies and the material in
which they ate dipped, and it is to obtain
this that the sugar is boiled.
“After the sugar has readied the ‘soft
ball,’ a eemfhard condition, it must be
poured carefully into a large meat plate
or onja marble slab. Do not scrape the
saucepan or you will granulate the sirup.
Make your fondant one day and make it
up into candy the next. Never melt fon¬
dant by placing the saucepan immediate¬
ly on the stove, Prevent the danger of
scorching by standing the pan containing
it in a basin of water. If the melted fon¬
dant is too thick, add water most cau¬
tiously, a drop at a time. A half tea¬
spoonful more than is necessary will ruin
the whole. To cool candy place it in a
cool, dry place. To keep candy put it
between layers of waxed paper in tin
boxes. If tho day is bright ami clear,
the sugar loses its stickiness quickly;
therefore select a fine day for your candy
making”
Merit Means Money usaiie.
You cannot advertise money out of
people’s pocket all the time; you do it
now and then, but if you tloivVgive
them something of absolute merit in
return, advertising will never prove
successful. The kind of advertising
that pays is advertising a good thing.
As it has merit the people willuse it
again and again. Never has this been
better illustrated than in the great, suc¬
cess of Cascarets, candy cathartic, that
we have been lately advertising in this
paper. All druggists call Cuscarets,
repeaters, that is, people buy them, like
them, and buy them again and recom¬
mend them to their friends. Cuscarets
are guarnteed to cure constipation or
money refunded, and are a delightful
laxative aud liver stimulant; the best
medicine ever .made. We recommend
all our readers to try them.

who blew out the gas, casts a shad¬

who rode nine miles in ten minutes

B.v i . S. Mai! To Hcavon.
From The New York World.
Two pennies dropped on ti e 1 edge of
(lie brass barred window. The postal
clerk looked up. He was cut of sods.
Two holidays in succession had been Ico
much for him. A little golden head ap¬
peared, just topping the ledge.
“Well?” snapped the clerk.
He had just opened his window in
the postoffice yesterday morning, and
eight hours of the hardest kind of work
were in sight. The little girl, who had
been first in line, hesitated a moment.
Then she plucked up courage.
“Pleas, ruts ter,” she began, “I want a
stamp for this to send to my lilile
brother.
In her hand site held tip a package
clone tip in brown paper and roughly
tied with a bit of course twine. It was
almost falling apart iu her tiny hands.
She held it up to the clerk, who took it
with the same grace that he had boon
taking thousands of packages during
the holidays.
He looked at the address to see
whether it was foreign or domestic,
Then he looked back at the child.
There was a queer look in his eye that
had not been there before. Postotlice
clerks see many strange packages and
any quantity of them addressed to
“Santa Clause.” But this ono was not
for Santa Clause. It read;
; ROBERT NAUGHTQN, :
Heaven.
For a moment the clerk hesitated.
The little one took it for a refusal to
aeeopt tho parcel because she had not
enough postage. Quickly the tiny
hands fumbled at a little purse where
two more pennies were in keeping.
These were on the w indow ledge in a
moment with the other two.
‘There’s more pennies, sir,” said the
little one, “Pleas take it now. I
haven’t any more pennies.”
“Why, my child,” said the clerk,
who had babies of his own at Louie,
“I—”
“Oh, please,” broke in the little one.
“It’s for my little brother in heaven,
He died last week and perhaps he is so
strange iu heaven that God has forgot¬
ten fo give him any Christmas-presents.
And he’d be so disappointed.”
Tea..; were hi Ike clerk’s eyes by this
time—he was thinkikgNpf the little flax'
eu haired one of his oner-at
Tears were iu the child’s to es, too, and
and the little lip was quivering.
“O, sir, it’s all righty— she insisted.
“This is my very own to give away;
Bants Clause brought it to mo on Christ¬
mas. My papa doesn’t know and my
mamma doesn’t know. They cried on
Christmas ’cause Ilobbie had gone to
live with the angels, .But I want lo
send something to Robbie all myself.”
The little ono was crying. Her sobs
came fast and deep. Her poor little
heart, was on the point of breaking.
“Robbie went away to God last week.,”
she sobbed., “aud little Elsie has no one
left to play with!”
The clerk blew his nose very hard,
and then ho explained tiiat the mail did
not go where her little brother was so
happy with the angels, it wasn’t be¬
cause she didn’t have enough pennies to
pay for it; it was because the steam cars
couldn’t go there. He was as lender as
he could be, and one woman in black,
who had come in the line that kept stan¬
ding there because of tho little one’s
pleading began to weep.
So the clerk handed back the package
to the child and she turned away with
tears of bitter disappointment in her
eyes.
“Robbie will have no Christmas!” she
sobbed.
Just then the cover came off hex pre¬
cious package. It held a little white
lamb, tied with a piuli ribbon.
“Gimme ten twos,” chirped a voice,
and the clerk tui'ned back to tho routine
of his work.
Had Done What She Could.
A colored woman went to the pas¬
tor of her church the other day to
complain of tho condact of her hus¬
band, who, she said, was a low down
worthless, trifling nigger. After
listening to a lor.g recital of the de-
linquinces of her neglectful spouse
and her efforts to correct them the
minister said, “Have you ever hied
heaping coals of fire upon his head?”
“No.” was the reply but I done tried
hot water.”—Washington Letter iu
Chicago Record.
I think it must bo true that Chicago
girls have large feet said Miss Dwin-
widdle to Miss Oakland, Wlmt makes
j you say that? I have received a letter
I from a Chicago friend who was married
j lately, in which she says that Santa
j Clause put a home and lot in her stock-
ing on Christmas day.
