forget ones own self altogether.

themselves, but only of the pleasure
they can give to others. No adorn-

oomplishment, goes far in its power
to attract as the one gift of sympa-

called beautiful but her portraits
proved that her beauty was not to be

in the good and i'll fortunes of her

her little books painters came to
her with their pictures; statesmen
with their projects. She, herself,
wrote no books, painted no pictures,
had no projects. She was sweet,
simply and unconsciously, as a rose
is sweet. She really cared for the
happiness and success of others, and
they felt the genuineness of her
sympathy. Itsurrounded her with
an immortal charm. Let any girl

Homemade Candy.

All children are fond candy, and
if pure moderate amount is not in
furious. In these daysof adultera-
ton, that made at home is safest to
give them. 1t is a simple matter to
make chocolate caramels; all that
is needed is one cup ofsweet milk one
cup of molasses, half cup of sugar,
half a cup ofgrated chocolate, a piece
of butter the size of a walnut; stir
constantly and let it boil until it is
thick, then turn it out on to butter
ed plates; when it begins to stiff
en-, make tin squares, so that it will
break readily when cold. Cocoanut
caramels are made of, cup of sugar,
two tablespoonful of -four, the
whites of three eggs beaten stiff;
bake on buttered paper in quick
oven. Nice white candy is easily
made. Take one quart of granula-
ted sugar, one pint of water, two
tablespoonfulsof vinegar; boiljust
as you do molasses candy, but do
not str it; you can tell when it is
done by trying it in cold water. Pull
it as if it were molasses candy;
have a dish near by with some va
nilla in it, and work in enough to
flavor it as you pull; put tin a cold
room, and the next day you will
have delicious candy.
