with q very flushed but very earnest
face.
'Hurrah! Three cheers for Philr,
one Of the boys exclaimed. and three
hearty, lusty cheers followed. When
the last sound died away Phil ex-
claimed, eagerly: .,Now let's give
three times three cheers for our moth
ers!"
And this was heartily responded to.
Pills speech had won over to his side
the most of the boys; a few hung back
and ridiculed, but only for a short
time, for this class of seven were too
good friends to disagree long. Before
the close of the week they each owned
two pairs Of leather-knees, q black for
everyday use, and q colored for pa
rade, to be fastened on with ribbon.
On Saturday they made their first
parade. Each boy had on his fancy
knees, also a black leather cap around
which was pasted in colored leather
letters "Leather-knees." Each boy
carried in his right hand q bag Of
marbles and one bore o small leather
flag having thereon this motto: "Moth-
ers and Marbles Forever!"
Perhaps it is needless to say that Phil
was chosen captain of the company.
Proudly they marched back and forth
in front of their several homes and on
all the principal streets. Some won-
dered at them, some laughed good
naturally, some ridiculed, and still
others gave hearty approval. But
certain seven proud mammas smiled
at the sight and were made exceeding
ly happy thereby. Cora Van Nossrand,

CANDY.
Its Inventor Unknown-How It ID Mada
and tho Origin Of Its Name.

Its Inventor Unknown-How It ID Made
and the Origin Of Its Name.
There are some young people who
do not care about Indians, or gypsies,
or Robinson Crusoes, particularly girls
There are some who are not interested
about horses, or pirates, or picnics,
and who do not care about riddles
But is there one who is Indifferent to
confectionery If there are any such,
there are enough elders with a sweet
TOOTH to make the count good. And
yet it is safe to say that not n of all
can tell who first made OF ate confec-
tionery. or where the most is made
now, or how it is made. In fact, the
Frenchmen, Grinod de la Reyniere and
Coste, told the truth in 1905, when
they said, '.the inventor Of sugar
candy is not known"
Candy got its name from the Vene-
tians. They learned how to refine the
sugar by boiling and otherwise treating
the molasses, and called the sugar they
made candidus, because it was white.
And now let us see how candy is made.
First, the confectioner buys hogsheads
of refined sugar. When this is in his
factory, he first dissolves the sugar in
water. Then he boils the sugar water
to what is called the standard consis-
tency-that is, the water is just so
sweet, and the sugar has just . 0 much
water. This is cooled, and then it is
boiled again, and cream of tartar is
put in to prevent it from crystallizing.
Rock candy, the purest of all, is made
directly from this, by pouring tho
melted mass into cans which have
strings run through them. The sugar
collects on the strings, and when the
cans have been placed in a cool room,
the crystals form in forty-eight hours,
and the liquid is strained away.
If cream candy is wanted, nothing is
needed but to use sugar that has been
slightly boiled, and add a little coloring
and nut flavor.
The ordinary ''stick" candy is pro-
duced by cooking to a crisp, and pour
ing the product upon q marble slab to-
cool. 1t is then warmed slightly and
pulled" Great establishments "pulr'
by machinery; but small ones take the
candy in such amounts as one person
can handle, and each puller throws the
middle Of what he holds over q big iron
hook in the side of the room, and pulls
the ends toward him.
There is a great knack in doing this
When it is we'll done, the candy be-
comes soft and even in color. The
or oils are poured in while it
is being pulled, and the liquids or
paste are added at the same time to
flavor and color the candy; and when
it has been well worked it is drawn
out into 'sticks," which are broken
apart and laid in piles.-M Y. Exam.
