The Pudding.--It is well to remember
that arrOwrnot, although forming nice
light vehicle for nourishing foods, such as
milk, eggs, etc, is not in itself i food pos
sessad of much valuable qualities, partcu-
larry for the sick, who arc only able to take
sparingly of nourishment, and therefore
that supplied to them should possess as
much nourishment in the small quantity as
possible. Arrowroot is pure starch, and is
therefore of no value when reparation is the
aim, aud fol very young children is really
injurious. Light puddihgs, therefore, com
posed with Hour, and properly cooked are
far better for invalids. The following is an
example, ingredients-One egg, its weight
in fine dried nolr and white powdered su-
gar, Hly1ring to taste. II found too sweet,

eggs lightly with the sugar until light and

Watching the Incnbators.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
One of the interesting things at the
fanciers' show is to watch the incuba-
tors. The machines have glass fronts so
that the process of Matching can be
watched by every one who is curious. An
egg will be lSpg as white and smooth as
if it were just going to be boiled for
breakfast, when suddenly little hole
will appear in it and a diminutive bill
will be seen pecking away, trying to en-
large it. Then some of the downy little
chickens that have been sitting around
gossiping with each other, will become
interested and run over 10 take q hand.
The amount of sport they have with the
poor, imprisoned biped in that egg is in
credible. Every time he moves they will
dart their bills at him and scare him so
that he withdraws into his shell and re-
solves to become an egg again and see
life in the form of ham omelet. Then
the frolicksome chickens viii pretend to
go away, but as soon as the unmatched
chicken moves they are at him again.
When they tire of the sport they go
away, and leave the chicken to be hatcl-
ed in peace. The hole in the shell grows
larger and larger, and finally head and
neck, covered with what looks like
coarse, scant hair, are thrust out. Then
a kicking and scrambling takes place on
the part of the chicken to free himself
from his shell. Every now and then he
will pause and lie supinely for awhile,
exhausted by his efforts. Finally he is
free, and in few hours is a fluffy, lively
little ''chick"
