Homemade Carame1s,

Our candy was to be sold for a cent a
stick, but the sticks were not scanty little
snips by any means. Mrs. Cartwright
made Us a present Of the molasses, Lois
brought the sugar from home, Al Fay
brought the saleratus, Patty remembered
about the vinegar, aud Majorie produced
the butter.
These were the ingredients half-
gallon of New Orleans syrup, cup of
vinegar, piece of butter as large as two
eggs, coed teaspoonfn of saleratus dis
solved in not wafer.
We melted tbs sugar in the vinegar,
stirred it in the molasses, and let it
come to the boil, stirring steadily. The
bcya took turns at this work.
When the syrup began TO thickcn We
dropped iu the saleratus, which makesit
clear then, Touring our hands, each took
a position, and pulled it till it was
white.
The longer we pulled tho whitcr it
grew. We ate some of it, but We girls
we're firm in saving half for our sails.
Then re made maple sugar caramels.
Have you ever tried them? They are
splendid. You must have maple sugar
to begin With real sugar from the trees
in Vermont if you can get it. You will
need q deep saucepan. Then into a
quart of fresh sweet milk break two
pounds of sugar. Set it over the fire.
As the sugar melts it will expand. New,
er mind if your facs grows hot. Que
cannot make candy sitting iu rock
ing chair with a fan. One doesen't cal
culate to, az Great.aunt JesSamine always
says.
Some people like cream candy. 1t is
made this way: three large cupfuls of
loaf sugar, six tablespoonfuls of water.
Boil without stirring, in a bright tin pan
until it will crisp in water like molaases
candy. Flavor it with essence OF lemon
or vanills; just before it is done, add
one teaspoouful of cream tartar. Pow
der your hands with -four, and pull it
until il is perfectly white.
Plain Caramsks.-Ous pound of brown
sugar, quarter of a pound of chocolate,
one pint of cream, one teapoonful of but
ter, two tablespoonfuls of molssses. Boil
for thirty minutes, stirring al! the time,
test by dropping into cold water. Flavor
with vanilla, aud mark off as you do
the maple caramels.
Home made candy is sure to be Of
good materials, and will seldom be
harmful unless the eater takes great
quantity. Then the pleasure of making
it counts for something.-Harper's Young

A Drunkard's Death,

CHESTER, Nov. 25 Last week Wm.
Blake, commonly known as "Old Man
Blake, the nurseryman," was burnt so
horribly that he died Sunday night. He
was native of Devonshire, England,
and was born in 1878. He came to
America in 1S47. After travelling all
over this country and Canada he en-
barked fer Australia during the gold
fever period He returned to the United
States jast before the war, espoused the
Confederate cause and enlisted la the
Twelfth South Carolina regiment as q
private, where he remained ss gallant
soldier during the whole war. After the
war he drifted to Chester, aud entered
the rsercantile business here. Owing to
bad luck in his business he soon became
the victim of strong drink. For the past
fifteen years Of his life he has lived alone
in little hut down on the lanyard
branch, where he has supported himself
by managing nursery or one acre Of
swamp land.
He was very drunk the whole of last
week, end Friday night lay down on the
floor in fropt of bis fireplace and fell
asleep. His shoes caught fire during the
nightan burned his right leg to ashes
from toes to hip. His left leg was so
badly burnt he couldn't uae it, but he
managed TO crawl to his door and call
for help. DR.. S. NJ. Davega attended the
injured man, but couldn't persuade him
to allow sn emputation of his right leg.
Nothing else could be done to save him,
80 the poor old wretch remained in q
stnpor until Sunday night, when he
brcathed his last.

The Pennsylvania Railroads Double
Lines to Atlantic City.
A SUPERB SUMNER SCHEDULE.

The coming summer promises to be
a most notable one for sea-shore travel.
Engagements already made in ad-
vance for hotel accommodations at
Atlantic City and inquiries received
indicate the widespread popularity of
this great resort.
Never before in the history of the
City-by-the- Sea have the railroad facil-
tiles been so perfect as they will be
over the Pennsylvania's Sea-Shore
Lines. Arrangements have been per
fected by which this popular route will
consolidate its two railroads (the West
Jersey and Camden and Atlantic) be-
tween Philadelphia and Atlantic City,
SO as to be operated on the plan of 3
double track. This mode of manage
ment will greatly facilitate the hand
ling OF the enormous passenger traffic,
and will present the safest and most
novel system of double lines in the
country.
The schedule of trains will be great
ly improved over that of previous
years, both in the number of trains,
their equipment and speed. A large
number of trains will run on a time
table of the best adjusted to the needs
of the public. They will be equipped
with comfortable and handsome new
passenger coaches and attractive parlor
cars drawn by the Pennsylvania Stan
dard hard-coal burning locomotives.
The majority of the trains will make
the run in each direction in eighty
minutes, thus reducing the time of
transit to the minimum consistent with
safety and good management.

Relief For Veteran Judges.

The bill now pending in the Senate,
authorizing the voluntary retirement,
on full pay, of any Pennsylvania Judge
who has served twenty-five years in
judicial office and attained the age of
seventy years. should receive the unan-
imous Endorsement of the Legislature
In order to become beneficiary un-
der such law, Judge must be thrice
elected by the people to the judicial
office and with such an Endorsement
there could be no room for doubt as
to the individual and official worth of
the man. And when Judge has Civ
en- a quarter of century or more to
judicial duties, which practically pre-
clude him from business operations
for profit, and has reached the patriar-
chal age of three score years and ten,
he should be honored with the right to
retire on full pay
There are few men who are equal to
the duties Of the judicial Office when
over seventy years of age. There are
exceptions to the rule, of course, but
there is no reason why Judge who
has faithfully served for twenty-five
years and has passed the age of seven
ty should be compelled to remain in
active service on the bench to earn a
livelihood. AS rule the judicial du-
ties which were easily discharged at
fifty or even sixty are onerous and Oft
en- severely exacting at seventy; aud
there should be the right of voluntary
retirement without facing poverty.
1t is not likely that there ever would
be so many as half a dozen Pennsyl-
vania Judges who. could retire and re-
ceive their salaries under law. but if
there were twice a dozen of Judges
who had commanded such pubic trust
as to be continued on the bench for a
quarter of a century or more, and
reached the age of seventy years, it
should be a grateful recognition Of
such line of worthy Judges to give
them the right to retire on full pay for
the already shadowed and necessarily
brief evening of their days.-1inaes.
