ounces of flour. Beat the whites and
yolks of the eggs separately. add the
sugar to the whites, then stir in VI

cakes from the pan, and with a spoon
scoop out the unbaked portion, leaving
a shell, as it we're, which fill with
whipped cream, Put two shells togeth-
or, and cover with chocolate glace.
This recipe may be divided into halves,
allowing eight small eggs as half of
the fifteen, five Ounces OF powdered
sugar and four ounces Of -four.
To make a pastry bag, fold a piece of
strong muslin n foot square, from
two opposite corners. Fell the edges
tightly together, thus forming a TRAN
gular bag. cut off the point to make
an opening large enough - insert the
tin pastry tube. The tube Is simply a
funnel-shape tin, made for the purpose,
and can be purchased at all house fur
nishing stores. Rubber bags can also
be purchased. When you are ready to
use the bag, open it, put the tube down
into the point, fill the bag with the
mixture, close the top of the bag, give
it a twist and hold it tightly with the
right hand. Put the point of the tube
close to the place where the mixture is
to be dropped. Press with the left
hand and guide the mixture into any
shape desired.

MANY farmers are of the opinion
that sheep do not require water in
winter, and especially when there is
snow on the ground. This underrat-
ing the need of a good supply of water
for their focks in cold weather causes
much cruelty and leads to the practice
of false economy. If sheep will live
by eating snow it Is no evidence that
1t is best for them any more than for
any other farm stock. 1t good clean
water be provided daily In a warm
place sheep will drink twice a day. and
sometimes oftener. They do not drink
much at a time, but a little water is a
necessity for their thrift during cold
weather.

MAN sforists state from experience
That SCOT water Is a safe and excel
len fertilizer for plants, including
tEose in pots. 1t is used for all plants
that require manure water at all, say
for roses, pelargoniums, abutilons, and
such vigorous growing plants. When
the pots are full of roots it seems to
be specially beneficial. The water is
thus prepared: Tie up one-half a peck
OF SCOT in q cloth bag, throw it into
a ~nine-gallon cask of hot water. Work
the bag well inthe water. which should
stand until clear, when it may be used
after having been diluted with clear
water. Judgment may be used as to
the proper strength. 1t would be
better used too weak than too strong.

nothing is more possible and less expen-

Half a dozen siphons of plain soda
water cost 90 cents, perhaps less in
large cities, and If you are known te
your druggist you will not be charged
for the loan of the slphons. Keep them
on ice and you have your soda wator
ready. Make and keep bottled a few
simple syrups. Vanilla syrup, coffee
syrup. ginger syrup-and you can have
favored soda at a moments notice. In
fruit season half ill the glass with
fresh fruit syrup and sugar, fill up
from the siphon, and you have a drink

according to the statement of Mr..
Miles, a well known engineer, 1t Is a
fact peculiar to Spanish countries that
ordinary brick dust, made from hard
burned, finely pulverized bricks, and
mixed with common lime and sand, is
universally and successfully employed
as a substitute for hydraulic cement,
Mr.. Miles says that during an engineer
ing experience of some six years in
Cuba his opportunities were ample for
testing its merits, and he found it in all
respects superior to the best Rosendale
hydraulic cements for culverts, drains.
tanks and c%isterns, and even for roofs.
In an experiment to test the strength
of this product 1t was found that a
block Of it, inch in thickness, without
sand, and after an Immersion in water
for four months, bore, without crush
ing, crumbling or splitting, a pressure
Of fifteen pounds per square inch. 1t is
thought that by the addition of pulver-
izing.mills to brick yards, to utilize the
waste and broken bricks. a profitable
manufacture might be carried on.

for this purpose, it is asserted, are that
they are evenly colored on all sides,

They are done up In little skeins of
uniform size and appearance, the colors
being red, orange, yellow, green, pure
