cRvsTAL,zED ORANGE PEEL.

Old-Eashloned Dainty Once Moro Found
In Candy stores.
The o!d-fashioned crystalized orange

The best oranges for the purpose are
the Mediterranean and sweet-rindcd
Valencias 1t would be . waste of
time and material to attempt to crys-
talizc the flavorless Florida orange
peel.
Put the peel in cold water and set it
away for at least nine days Then
scald it up in the water in which It has
been soaking. It must be kept. while
it is soaking, in . cold place, but not
where it will freeze.
When il has been thoroughly soaked,
boil Il till tender. strain 1t out of this
water, dry II with cloths and cut it in.
to long strips of uniform size.
Make thick sirup, in the proportion
Of . pint Of sugar to pint of water.
When this sirup has boiled ten min
utes. put the peel in it and let it boil
down slowly until it begins to shrivel
and the sirup is reduced to a rather
soft candy. This can be asccrtained by
testing the sirup. When 1t forms .
soft, creamy hall between the fingers it
has cooked enough.
Drain the peel out spread it on
creased papers, taking care that the
strips do not touch each other. When
they arc thoroughly dried make them
into little sheavcs. tving them around
the center with . narrow ribbon OF
white satin or pale orange color. They
look very pretty piled on low bonbon

AN EXCELLENT SCHEME.
4 Califoralan's Plan Of Namberinx Coua-
try Houses.

-
try Houscs.
A practical method Of numbering
country houses and making country
roads has been established in Contra
Costa county, Cal This method-known
rs the ten-block system-has received o
countrywide attention and sanction.
BESIDES the great convenience which
the system has given the residents Of
Contra Costa county. II bids fair to be
one of the greatest aids in the further
ance of free rural delivery that has yet
been suggested. The plan was devised
by A. l.. Bancroft aud was carried out
by private citizens, officials giving their
appreciation rs soon as the new scheme
was seen to be successful.
In this ten-block system the roads
are first named. there being rs little
change made as possible rs they pass
through different towns. The numbers
begin at the county seat or on branch
roads at the end nearest to it. The roads
are measured and blocked off. there be-
ing ten imaginary blocks Of 5sS feet
each to the mile. These have only
frontage. not depth or thickness The
numbering is in order from the court
house or county seat, the even numbers 5
ON the right and the odd upon the left
side. The same numbering is observed
whether the blocks are occupied or not.
thus providing for the building of
houses on vacant lots. Where more
than one house occurs in block, the
alphabet is brought into use rs lOl 4.
lOl b. etc. 1hers are twenty road
numbers to the mile. On the fence or
post marking division Of blocks the
numbers are placed on either side OF .
line showing the division. On the right
the post is marked l02ll04; ON the left
lOl1lOa. At the end of each mile. or
ten blocks, an y Is printed inside .
circle. The half-mile is indicated BY .
v in q semicirclc.
By this exact division il is verv sim
ple matter to calculate the distance.
As there are: two numbers in each
block. divide :he house numbers by
two, which will give the number of
blocks from the starting point There
being 10 blocks tn the mile. divide this
result by 10 OF point off one decimal
and the distance in miles and tepths is
shown. If q house number is odd. add
one to complete the block before divid-
ing BY two The accompanying cut
shows n section Of . Contra Costa road
