There ,s q great deal more nanrsl-

Of which the most are sold at Huyler's are
'plain taRy," 'butter-scotch," aud old fash-

steady. and so universal that it has become the
synonym Of q temper swestener. Twenty-Five

began years ago by making q pure moIas-

it is sent into the interior as far; as the Rocky

but in the French capital no such JOY for the
little ones as cid fashioned molasses candy Is

dressed in all eorts Of colors, and put up in the
most exquisite boxes. but they are very dear,
