Lizzie Klla defiantly, as sin- walked
away from the group of girls.
And so it was settled that the dolls'
party should he enjoyed without the
presence of boys, and the preparations
for the event began. The Saturday
before the eventful Monday the table
was already decorated with frosted
cakes and fruits and caudles. The
dolls In all tlieir finery were in their
seats.
jfe T'V table was beautiful. The bright

the dolls shone among bouquets and
garlands and bowers. Every thing had
been arranged to perfection, and the
door of the room was closed. After

brought everybody back front faif y-

dolls! Oh, ilie dolls! where are the

Then every girl asked (be same ques

“Who did it? who dUIlt?"
And where were the dolls?' There ifi
the ebalr of eaeli one sat a dirt;? rag

- ”lt*s Hal Stanley, hateful tlai Stan

"Hai Stanley!” echoed all the girls.
‘•We'll never speak to him again!”
During the excitement a survaut
opened a Closet door in a corner ol’ the
room.
“Look hvah. Mistls,” called she to
Mrs. Langhornc. "Uyah's de dolls. For
grashus sake, Jes look!”
And sure enough there hung the
dolis. The rarisian lady, with her
hands tied behind her hack, was hang
ing from a peg; the Spanish lady war
dangling by her feet: the Switzerland
lady was tied and gagged so that she
could not speak one ward; aml the la
dies of Russia and Holland, Dominik

Mrs. Langborne’s scisshrs cut the
gallows, and she handed to each girl
her treasure. The flue spangles and
laces had suffered from the execution,
but the lady dolls were soon placed at
(lie table and the rag dolls were
thrown aside with contempt.
“Your dolls are not dead If they have
been lmnged,” said Mrs. Laughorue.
"They are as much alive as they ever
were.” 1
Sunshine followed the storm, and the
girls did enjoy the remainder of the
evening. Nobody ever discovered who
hanged the dolls.—The Household,

|Making*!
s
The difflcultles of candy making
have been greatly exaggerated. Any
one with a little patience can make
very good confectionery.
The easiest candies to make are
those prepared from confect loners’
sugar tlud eggs. The sugar is of tine
quality mixed with certain gums to
give it consistency and requires no
troublesome boiling, hence Its popular
ity.
To make the candy from the sugar,
several eggs are broken and the whites
are separated from the yolks. The
yqlks may be sef aside for use In some
household operation, os onljstlie whites
are needed for the candy.
For a pound box of candy tin- whites
of t\?o eggs are about sufficient. The
whites are put in a cup and mixed
with an equal quantity of water and
about half a teaspoonfnl of extract of
vanilla or whatever other flavoring
extract is to lie used. The liquid is
then gradually mixed with the sugar
until a paste of about the consistency
of dough lias been made. The cotupo-
sitWn is thj'non.tddy .worked together
ivtth a strong wooden or metal spoon
of large size. "
A dean white Cloth is spread on the
table. Tlse hands tiring thoroughly
washed, a little butter -the unsahetl
kind is best is'spread upon the Un
gers. and tlic pieces of candy are
worked into simps and placed in a pan
on a piece of oiled paper. The pan is
then put away until the candy hardens.
These candies may bo colored brown
by mixing melted chocolate with the
*cntidy wlten the eggs and flavor are
put in. The juice of spinach will im
part a green that is a perfectly hanp :
IfW-CoWing.
'Hie kernels of English waUutts
pieced on tlic top of the bits of candy,
half a kernel to each piece, make'deli
cious confectionery.
A sort of nougat can lie made by
slicing shelled English walnuts,
blanched ttlnSoiute and clean white pea
nuts. The slices of nuts should be
mixed with the sugar and eggs while
si’ll quite liquid, care being taken not
to break the nuts more than neces
sary. Tlic substance is then formed
into bars and set aside to dry and
harden.
Chocolate creams may lie made by
taking the white sugar and whites of
eggs and molding the pieces of candy
into little cones. These-are set aside
for several hours, or day, to harden.
Some melted sweet chocolate is pre
pared In a bowl and each of the cones
is taken up on Nic point of a clean, new
hatpin which” has keen scoured vs it It
sand soap before using and one by.one
they are dipped into tlie chocolate un
til they are thoroughly coated. They
are then ranged on sheets of oiled
paper on buttered pans and left to
harden.
Cocoanut candies may be made by
mixing shredded cocoanut with the
sugar as the candy is being made.

Itdgeaii of tlirt fWiftt.tatne,
Christmas is never Christ mint with
out the holly wreath and the ngsiletoe.
Christians venerated the holly or holy
tree because to them the litde thorny
leaves nud red berries made in a
wreath typified the crown of linens
and the bloody drops. Loubth -s they
introduced this solemn reiuludgr af the
festival In order not to forge I the sn
eredness of the occasion ia the general
festivities.
The mistle buslg mlstletod—or mis
tletoe. as we know It—ewes its use
as a festal decoration to pagan times.
According to the Scandinavian legend,
Baidin' the most beloved of all the
gods, had a premonition that death im
pended. Thereupon nis mother, l’rlggn.
besought everything that was begotten
of earth, air, fire or water to swear
not to harm her soil.
But in her request she overlooked the
insignificant little mistletoe. I.okf, tlm
god of destruction, disguised as aa old
woman, visited Brigga, and. learning
of her oversight,’ hurried iiaek to where
the gods were assembled. There they
were amusing "themselves by hurling
ail manner of missiles at Haidar, and
all were, turned aside. But Lokt with
an arrow of mistletoe pierced Bnldur's
heart. .
in reparation, the mtstlejoe was
given to Frlgga to do as she saw tit,
provided It touched not earth. And
she. to show Unit she bore no iii will,
hung ii up, and every one wit passed
under it received a kiss as a token that,
instead of hatred and jealous;,-, the
mistletoe now stood for love and for
giveness.
An old English recipe for plum pud
ding ia as follows: Mix together one
and one-half cupfuls of currants that
have been cleaned, washed and dried,
one and one-half cupfuls of stohed
raisins, one pound of suet, chopped
tine; three-quarters of a pound of stale
bread crumbs, one-quarter of a pound
of brown sugar, one quarter of a pound
of flour, the grated rind of one lemon
and one-half pound of minced candied
orange peel. Beat live eggs, net sep
i arating the whites and yolks, add one
cupful of liquid to them and mix thor
oughly with the other ingredients.
Boil for six hours. When wanted for
use lioil six hours longer. When ready
to serve, unmonld. stick a sprig of
holly in the centre, and wreath with
a hard sauce.

Experiment With Crystallization.
Make a saturated solution of com
mon soda in water. When the crystals
I stop dissolving, although the water is
I stirred repeatedly, the fluid is rendy
i for use. Four the clear fluid in an
other glass in which you are going to
i try the experiment. Fasten a lima
bean to n piece of cord and the other
I end of it to a match or small piece of
wood. Tie a nou-porous object (for in
stance, a glass ball) to the same stick
and immerse both bean and glass bail
in the solution. Let the solution stand,
and in a little while a peculiar crystal
lization will form. Needle-like sticks
of soda appear o the beau and cover
it completely, giving it the appearance
of a. porcupine. The bean has com
pletely disappeared, while .-the other
dfoject, the glass ball, has not changed
at all. The cause of the crystalliza
tion is In the porousness of the bean;
tkat JSt iLApSfirts .the water, and the
soda contained in tlie solution, not
being able to soak into the bean, set
tles ou the outside of it, forming the
crystal needles described above, while
the glass ball, not being porous, does
not take up any water and therefore
causes no crystallization.—New York

A Living Paper Cutter.
The following story is told by ai
South African paper: “An Indian ra
jah, who had learned the English lan
guage after a fashion, frequently vie.
ited some years ago the viceroy of Cal
cutta, and on one occasion borrowed
of the latter a copy of Hie Edinburgh
Review, which he happened to see
lying on the table. When he returned
the magazine the viceroy asked him if
he nod found anything interesting in
it. ‘Ob. yes.' he replied, ‘many beauti
ful things: but also many disconnected
articles. See hero. Tills begins with
‘Hunting the Ourang-ou-tnng,’ does it
not? And now turn over the page and
here you have Use ‘History of Mary
Stuarr.’ The viceroy laughed. He per
ceived that the rajah had attempted
tp read the book without cutting the
leaves. He accordingly took from Ids
tabic a beautiful ivory paper cutter,
explained its use to his . visitor, and
made him a present of it. About a
year after this occurrence the viceroy
saw a gay company entering the court,
and in the centre of i! the rajah seated
on a young elephant. No sooner did he
see the viceroy than he cried, ‘Do you
happen to have an uncut copy of the
Edinburgh Review? If so, please tosa
it to me.’ The viceroy threw cut the
magazine. It was caught by the ele
phant, who placed it between Ids tusks
which had been wrought into elegant
paper cutters, even including carved
handles, and quickly cut open tito
leaves, after which the knowing aid-
mal passed the IJevlew back to tins
surprised viceroy. The rajah then dis
mounted and said to the viceroy, as he
pointed to the elephant, ‘He Is yours;
I return you the paper cutter alive.’ ”
Thiee Clar Fished.
All fishes do not have sharp weapons
with which to keep of? tlieir enemies or
to use in catching other fishes for
themselves, so nature, which looks af
ter all things, teaches them little
tricks which they use to great advan
tage.
There is one fish who hides himself
in the mud at. the bottom of the big
rivers iu India, where he makes his
home, and just peeps his head out to
see what is going on. Now, this fish

Ups. The hairs of the beard keep
wiggling about iu the water, and the
little fishes think that surely they lire
worms. Ail little fishes are very
grecd% so when they see these hairs
they say to themselves: “Oh. here are
some fine worms; let's have a party.”
Fp they swim and begin to nibble at
the hairs; but the fish who is in the
mud gobbles them up, and the little
ones do not have any party.
