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 > . 'd-candles and the gay dresses of the dolls shone among bouquets and garlands and bowers. Every thing had been arranged to perfection, and the door of the room was closed.

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.

THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. |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. THE EATS’ GHRISTMAS. J)Y LOUIS WAIN. I. We are invited odl for Christmas. -i r It. Snapdragon is a splendid game, if some other fellow picks out the plums. . 111. The dance was great and we en joyed it so much. IV. It could not have been what we ate which made us so ill the next morn ing. because our doctor sold It was quite usual to lie ill after Christinas. There must bo something in the air.— Mail and Express. 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. CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT.

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 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 Tribune. . -i.!.. Cti/ 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 has a kind of board growing on his 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. There is another kind of fish shoots flies and little bugs. He , his month until it is just like tpMfei?' gun, and he uses a drop of wadwsji.- stead of a bullet.
