TO PREVENT CANDIES BECOMING STICKY
All boiled candies are liable to become
sticky if exposed to the action of the air.
They should be kept in closely covered
jars or boxes. The best plan, however,
that we know of toprevent candies, such
as taffies, peanut bar, walnut bar, cleal
candies, nougat, aud all similar goods,
from becoming sticky, which is caused
by their absorbing the moisture of the
atmosphere, is that which we have al
ways adoped when we desired to keep
such articles for any length of time, and
one that has always proved satisfactory:
When the candies are first made, aud
cut into bars or pieces, varnish or cover
each bar or article by means of soft
brush with thin alcoholic solution of
gum benzoin. Varnish them all over
with this preparation and let them dry;
this forms thin, impervious skin on
them, which e1ectually prevents the air
from acting on the candies, besides it
gives them a fine gloss. Benzoin has a
fragrant odor with very little taste, aud
is easily pulvcrizcd; it is stimulant and
expectorant, and is sometimes used in
pectoral affections. This varish may be
made in advance and kept IN closely
covered jar or bottle, for use at any time.
1t is also an excellent varnish for gloss.

PoULTIcEs FOR THE SICK ROOM.


Poultices, or cataplasm, are recon-
mended on account of the warmth aad
moisture they contain and convey, and
arc applied when the skin, or the uldcr-
lying structure, is indamel. They miti.
gate pain by relaxing tension and pro-
noting perspiraton. Some of the best
known poultices are made AS follows:
Linseed Meal Poultice Boiling water
should be poured into heated bowl, aud
into this the meal quickly sprinkled witt
one hand, while the mostureis constant.
ly stirred by means of knife or spatu|'
until thin, smooth dough is formed. |
the water be ADDED to the meal littl
knots and chunks or dough are apt to
collect, hence We recommend maxim!
this plaster as you do cornmcal,mush. Tn
dough should be quickly spread on {
warmed linen rag already torn or cut tt
the required shape, or put into bag anC
applied. Lnseed meal retains heat anc
moisture for long time, but is liable tC
irritate delicate or iniamed skin.
Bread Poutce-Put slices OF brcac
into a basin, pour over them boiling
water, and place by the fire for a few
minutes, when the water should b
poured off, replaced by fresh boilin!
water, and this again poured of. and the
bread then pressed, beaten with fork,
aud made into a poultice. Bread poul.
tees are valuable for their bland, non.
irritating properties.
Charcoal Poultice-Mix charcoal uni
formiy with bread for a poultice, ani
just before application sprinkle the sur
face with layer of charcoal. This sort
of poultice corrects offensive smells from
foul sores, and favors a healthier action.
Carrot Poultice Boil carrots unit
quite soft, mash them with a fork and
apply in the ordinary way. This poul.
tice will purify wound.
To retain heat for long tim poulticc;
should be covered with oiled silk, or {
layer of cotton wool. Either one of these
methods is preferable to very thick
poultice, which from its weight nigh
cause inconvenience Or pain -D,troi

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

CLEANING COPPER AND BRASS UTENSILS
Copper or brass articles may be thor
oughly cleaned and made to look as
bright as new by washing them with a
solution of salt and vinegar. Use as
much salt as the vinegar will dissolve,
and apply with a wooden rag, rubbing
vigorously, then polish with pulverlaed
chalk, and the article will look like new,
with the expenditure OF little labor, as
the acid of the vinegar is very efficient
in removing stains from either brass OF
copper. -Dctroit Free Press.

PcOp'c riding on the horse cars
along Ogden avenue the other after
noon heard strange noises like the g.
cape of steam mingled with the dull
twang of loose cntgut. This was the
Chinese orchestra making merry over
the christening of little Kwa King,
who was month old to the day. His
parents, Mrs. aud Mrs. Lee Chok, had
invited all the wclI-known and inilu-

SHE WON $1,000 ar POK or.
A Gamblers Wife Who Played Stiff
Game of Free1e-Out.

Game of FreeEe-Out.
From the Butte (lfoHt) Inter Mountain.
Mrs. l. NJ. Romigh played poker with
Adam Farraday the her night and won
81 200 from him. The lady Is now in jail. She
is petite aud prepossessIng young woman
and rather pretty. She came from Great
Falls with her husband, who is a gambler,
and she evidently knows something about
cards herself. Farraday gave her a check
for 81 800. The check 10 now in the hands
OF the sheriff, together with 1880 Of the wom-
ans money. Adam had her arrested about
O'Clock next morning.
From all accounts the woman won the
money fairly and squarely from Mr.. Farra-
day. They played about ffvs hours. II
was not a regular poker game, but a game
OF freeze-out. At the beginning the stakes
were small but as tho game grew interest
ing Adam proposed doubling up the stakes
until they were $500 a stack. Mrs. Romigh
states that Adam proposed the game They
started with an old and much used deck of
cards. Mrs. Ronigh had about $40 on the
table TO start with, but had reserve fund
OF over $500, which she was ready and will
ing to stake, In the gamblers parlance, she
is thoroughbred.
After the game progressed for awhile and
grew interesting Adam went out and bought
new deck OF cards and brought bottle of
beer. Later he went out and brought ans
other bottle OF beer and was evidently en-
joylng the association Of 30 fascinating and
winsome a young woman. Mrs. Kennedy =,
in whose house the game was played, was
present all the time and watched the game
with much interest. Farraday LOST bis
money with reckless abandon. He Is a
wealthy old fellow, estimated to be worth
CSC, 600, and is old enough to be Mrs. Ro-
migh's grandfather. About 3 o'clock in the
morning he was loser 81, roo. He wrote mia
check out for s., 500 and Endorsed it she ac-
cepting it as beng good as gold.
After the game Ferraday went out for the
purpose OF cashing 1t and went as far as the
Cottage hotel. 1t is supposed that some
body there told him not to do ii. He went
back and said he would get IL cashed in the
morning as soon as the bank opened. 1t
was nearly 5 O'Clock now and Mrs. Romigh
concluded not to 60 to bed. About o'clock
she was placed under arrest upon complaint
Of Fsrraday and is now languishing in the
county jail.
From all indications 1t looks as though
the woman has the best of the bargain and
will get away with tho money which she no
doubt won. She corroborated the story as
above related to an litter Mountain re-
porter and says she never anticipated any
trouble about the matter, as she played an
honest game. ~ e,s-

Henceforth musical attachment
is to turn bicycles and tricycles into in.
struments Of music, it is to be called.
Let us trust that the performers will be
merciful, and not forget, when they
start upon "a musical ride" in company,
to see that their wheels are set to the
same tune In the same key. Even so,
difference of pace would presumably
give a rather singular effect, and make
hash of melody, even if it brought
out some startling novelties in the way
of harmony.
However, as everybody allows that
musical ideas are getting scarcer and
scarcer, and that there is not much
more to be done with the scale under
present conditions and limitations, the
new departure may prove to have prac-
teal value. 1t will inspire the must
clans Of the future with ideas of which
they would never otherwise have
dreamed, and no doubt produce a spe-
cial school of composers at which even
Wagner would have opened his eyes
and shut his ears.
But the solitary rider will enjoy him
self the best. The different effects of
mud, ruts and newly mended road,
and up hill and down hill upon the
same air, should be a perpe tnaI joy
And when the beautiful invention has
extended itself, as surely it will, to
cabs, omnibuses and sewing machines,
we shall be musical nation indeed. -

Must the Bluefish Co?

Are the bluefish deserving us2 The
boatmen of Buzzards bay say that this
gamy fish is mot in it" this year.
A few years ago, when the waters OF
the south shore we're alive with bluefsll,
great shoals of menhaden were seen
everywhere. Finally it was discovered
that these feed fish could be profitably
seined and ground into oil. Factory
after factory went up along the shores.
In few years the depletion had become
so great that many of the factories
went up"
A few struggling shoals of lneuhaden
yet remain, and where these are found
the bluefish congregate. But in the
hot chase for bait the remaining men
baden will ere long be exterlninated.
1t is to be feared that soon nothing
but groundtish will remain for the ar
dent angler along our coasts. 1t is a
regretable drift of things, for half of
seaside health and pleasure departs
with the gradual disappearance of the
mackerel and bluefsl.
Yet it is an memorable law of life
that one cannot eat his cake and have
it too. 1t is for the legislatures to say
whether greed shall finally abolish tie
occupation of the Hand liner. If they
neglect to act decisively in the near fu-
ture there is growing evidence that
their action will come too late. Boston
