Its count besides. With one of these instru-
ments a single operative can do as much
work as five or six girls could accomplish

There is a chocolate department which is
SO much like the others that it requires no
extended mention. The chocolates are
nodded, then coated, one piece at time.
An original idea, which has doubtless
brought lots of money to the candy makers
and candy sellers, is to place a cent wrapped
in waxed paper in the center of apiece of
candy while it is being nodded. Of course,
it wouldn't pay to put cent in every piece,
but placing one in about every fifth piece
has been found very profitable. The delight
of the youngster who buys a pennyworth
of candy, and not only gets his candy but a
cent with it, can better be imagined than de-
scribed. The possibility of getting some
thing for nothing seems also to fascinate
people older than the average buyer of prize
candy. E. w. BARTLETT.

nuts. pieces Of orange, preserved fruits and
other favorite candies.
Fruits are initiated both In shape and
flavor. There are candy strawberries,
apples, pears and various other fruits,
each containing in the center piece Of
some fruit or nut. The process of making
these finer goods is slow one, as each
piece is cast separately. half OF an apple,
for instance, is nodded in one side Of
small tin and the other half
in the other side This is
all there is room for. When the molds are
filled they are shut together, bringing the
halves in contact and uniting them. The
candies are not finished when this has been
done, but must be crystalized. The process
consists in pouring syrup over the candies
as they lay in pans and leaving it there over
night, the whole being kept in a warm
place at an even temperature. In the morn
ing the syrup is poured off and the candy is
seen to be richly coated, externally, with
crystals.
The ever popular caramel is made from
pure sugar and dairy cream, with the ad-

wonderful little machine-inventedi In Pitts
burg-does the wrapping. 1t not only sep
arates the caramels, one from another, and
cuts and wraps the paper around them as
deftIy as human fingers could, but it de-
posits the pieces in rows upon tray until
ten have been laid there, then pushes them
along and begins counting out another row.

The 81 Pupils Who Failed in Drawing
During the Recent Test Designated to
Try il Again on Monday of Next Week
Educational Notes.
The examination of the pupils who failed
in the recent preliminary examination, and
who are entitled to one, will take place at
the High School, Monday, January 21.
Drawing being the stumbling block, 81
pupils will be re-examined in this study,
and include the following numbers: Nos. l05

The resolution referred by the Central Board
last Tuesday evening to the High School Com
mittee, that there be two preliminary examina-
tions held, allowing the pupils who failed in
the December one to be re-examined in April,
does not receive the approval of the principals,
and, according to a number of them inter.
viewed yesterday they do not see any use for
extending tie time to April.
Next Saturday the Teachers Academy will
hold both an executive ana an open session.
DR.. E. A. Wood, at the open meeting, will de-
liver a lecture on the Laws of Health, Re-
lating Particularly to Teachers" Miss Sallie

they are at once broken apart when guam
tity of them is picked up and then dropped
back upon the board. One man is making
candy Of one color and shape, another diff
ferent sort. and so on. When a batch is
completed it is carried into another room,
and the different kinds are thrown together
in pile on a large table. Shovels are then
used for mixing the candy up, after which
it is ready for packing.
Elsewhere in the room is what appears to
be huge kettle, tipped up sidewise and
kept revolving by machinery. No one but
q candy maker would ever guess Its use.
Every one who buys or eats candy is familiar
with those small, oval-shaped Jumps in the
centers of which are found almond seeds.
This apparatus is used for coating the
almonds. Into the kettle, which is heated
by steam pipes, is put a quantity OF the
almonds, and with them a quantity of
syrup The seeds roll around in the kettle
as it revolves and take on a coating ofsyrup.
AS this dries more syrup is turned in, and
80 on until the almonds have been coated to
the desired size.
Marshmallows, popular confection, are
made of a mucllaginous gum and sugar
The dissolved gum is put in q steam-heated
receptacle along with the sugar, and ma
chinery is set in motion which beats the
whole 10 a white fluffy mass. The compound
is then taken from the vessel In which 1t
has been prepared and forced into molds
The latter are made from a preparation of
corn starch, upon which plaster casts of the
required shape have been impressed. Simi-
lar molds, thousands of them, of hundreds
of different designs, are used in shaping
other fine confections and mixtures beside
marshmallows. One department is de-
voted wholly to the preparation of these
molds, which necessarily requires large
amount of work.
Cream candies, so called, contain no
cream, or other ingredients save pure sugar
and water. Refined sugar is melted and
boiled until half the water evaporates The
syrup is then poured upon a metallic slab,
underneath which cold water is kept run
ming for the purpose of cooling. As it cools
1t becomes transparent, and when 1t reaches
the proper temperature it is put in ma
chine which has revolving arms and very
much resembles a churn in shape. Here it
is stirred and beaten until it becomes a fine
ly granulated, plastic mass. This is the
"cream," of which fine candies are
made. 1t is in reality no richer
than other sugar. The cream must again
be warmed to a certain degree before it is
ready for the molds. The same material is
also used as coatings for various confections
technically called dip goods" such as

Cultivating Court Courage.

The american AgricWIturist says that a
horse that is naturally courageous may be
made cowardly by abuse. If he often re-
ceives blows the fear of them is uppermost;
and any unknown noise is imagined to be
coming hurt, to csc pc fro n which is an
uncomfortable impulse. The man who
abuses his horse is often rewarded by the
destruction Of his property and injury to
himself, the result Of runaways. But
when the courage of the colt is developed,
it is not nearly 50 likely to runaway though
it be hampered with blinds or abused by a
cruel master, and it is hardly too much to
assert that if properly treated it will never
run away. Too often the training of the
colt has an effect contrary to the cultiva-
ton Of its courage. Forgetting that tenn
per is the most valuable quality of the
horse, its owner tries to break" its temper
to COW the animal. The horse should be
trained, not broken; and training requires
firmness, mixed with much kindness. The
man who has no control over his own to M
per and whose judgment is warped by an
ger is not fit to train colt. An abuse will
make it cowardly, SO kindness will make it
courageous. The basis of courage is conf
dence, and the first point is to secure the
confidence of the colt. The next is to make
the colt sure of his surroundings, watch
closely and whenever he shows fear of any
thing allow him to smell it. II he has con-
fdence in his trainer this will not be diff
cult. II he SHES at a stump or rock, ride
or drive him up to it. Drive him nearer
and near til cars until he is no longer
afraid of them. Have the whistle sounded
when his head is turned toward it, and re-
peat this till he ceases to start at the sound
Handle his limbs and touch them with
strap until he no longer shrinks.
The courageous horse, the one with the
spirit trained, not broken, is the horse tn It
does the most work. 1t does not lag; to
drive it Is pleasure. 1t does not give
up" and leave you mired in a mudhole; it
has the spirit, the courage, to exert itself to
the utmost. Among horses, it is the one
with trained spirit, with fine temper, that
does the most work, the least harm, and in
danger acts quickly and intelligently.
What horse has more courage than the
Arabian, and what horse is more docile,

What Else Beside Oranges.

Will the people of Florida always cling to
the one-crop system, and if so, what will be
the RESULT says the Florida AgricuLturist.
We can only judge the future by the
past, and point to other sections of our
country that have followed the one-crop
system and tailed to prosper. The south
with her millions of bales of the feecy sta
pie is notable example Of the one crop
fallacy.
What besides oranges, then, can Florida
produces is the question that is constantly
being asked by intended inning ants.
Owing to its breadth this is a difficult
question to answer. The soil and the eli
mate of Florida are diversified, and what
would apply 50 one section would not apply
to another. The northern and WESTON por-
ton Of the state is not 50 much welded to
the one-crop system as the southern. The
former is an agricultural section, and as
yet the latter is nothing but fruit-growing
one, and it is more particularly to the
fruit-growing section that our remarks are
addressed.
Orange growers are gradually awaken
ng to the fact that even If oranges should
prove as profitable as the most earnest
champions of the industry claim, it is bad
plan to trust entirely to them for the sup
port of themselves and families, and have
for some time been experimenting with
small fruits, grapes, berries, ETC., and have
SO far met with encouraging success.
While this is a move in the right direc-
ton, our fruit growers should bear in mind
that the most prosperous sections Of our
country are those that produce all, or
nearly all, they consume. While fruit may
prove profitable. it is very uncertain
commodity, and in case the crop fails or
the market does not come up to expecta-
ton, our fruit producers are in a bad
predicament What they should o. least
attempt to do is to produce all they need in
their own gardens and groves.

Anonlexy in Swine.

Apoplexy is usually disease of fat hogs,
although an animal that has long been thin
or suffering from excessive irritation of the
intestinal canal would also be predisposed
to it. 1t must be understood that the pro-
cess of fattening an animal in few weeks
destroys the equilibrium of the system, and
in one sense the fairness is in itself disease.
The storing up of fat in the animal economy
Is always at the expense of muscular de-
velopment. The muscles become weak and
fiabby. All the blood vessels Of the system
are surrounded by strong, tough, muscu-
lar coat that in state of perfect health
will resist any force that the hearts action
can put upon these canals. But the fat
tening process weakens these fibers; sud-
den or unusual strain ruptures one in the
brain, and we call it apoplexy. 1t is not as
common in the hog as one would expect,
but occurs so often that the breeder should
understand it and know the right thing to
do. 1t is impossible to foresee when this is
going to occur. If the rupture is a very
small one, when the blood is oozing out in
tiny drops, the hog will sometimes be found
lying insensible and breat hing heavily. No
effort will arouse it. 1t is more usual to
find big fat hog lying dead, with no ex-
ternal marks or signs of the cause of death.
Cut open the skull carefully, and a clot Of
blood of greater or less extent will be found
inside. II alive, however, tie stout cord
above the knee, and with stick take a
twist in the cord until on the inner side of
the leg below the knee the trachial vein
can be felt. Open it with sharp pointed
knife, and if the blood will run take pint
and a half or quart. Don't guess at it.
An ounce of blood spread over the ground
or on the floor has been mistaken for a
pint. If the bleeding is to do any good,
there must be considerable taken. II the
broken vein is a small one, and the case is
observed soon after it occurred, the animal
may be saved. If it partially revives it
will be proper to evacuate the bowels. A
large stock syringe would be valuable here
to throw up quart of warm water. In
most cases, however, the owner will have a
chance to sell the animal for soap fat.
