Icing Without Eg0a

A recent newspaper article called at
tention to an excellent recipe for making
icing without eggs. 1t Is a convenient
thing to know at this time Of the year,
when we are entering upon the days of
scarce and expensive eggs. The recipe
in question directs the stirring of con-
fectioners' sugar-not merely pulverized
Into orange juice. A still better way
of making eggless icing IS the follow
ing, which as been in use n some house
holds for a long time. and has en-
tirely superseded the usual methods:
Put over a bright fire a cup of granu-
lated to a quarter cup Of water.
Shake together first, but do not stir
once after they have been set on the
stove. When 1t drops into a soft bal,
In water. take OF and set on the Ice, or
in a dish Of cold water. When 1t has
partially cooled begin to stir with a
fork. 1t will become a creamy, pliable
mass. If all has gon well. that, after
fiavoring Is added. can be spread at
once on the cake. II It should harden
too much, or be at all rough, add more
water I'M o 1t over. The fnal re-
suit is perfection for icing or for hard
pudding sauce.

YOU SHOULD help.
Georgia's Sufferers Must Have
Relief at Once.
Cars Waiting to Be Filled with the
Supplies.
Length of the Train Depends Upon
Now York's Generosity.

Contributions for the relief train
which is to be sent by The World to
the destitute sufferers from yellow
fever ard the floods in the South should
not be delayed.
The need Is III gent, and the assistance
to be rendered to the hundreds Of poor
people, whose houses and property have
been destroyed. should be given imme-
diately. The train must start within
n few lays at the very latest. The gen.
erous people OF New York should not
neglect this opportunity to show their
practical sympathy for their unfortunate
fellow beings in the South.
The gifts which have already been re-
ceived by 1.-THE World are thankfully
acknowledged. There " now no posi-
bility that the effort to send substan-
tial relief to the sufferers Will prove I'M
successful. The contributions however.
should be more general. Everybody
should give something. no matter nov
small the gift may be.
Money that is sent in will be spent
in purchasing -four and provisions. while
contributions of clothing, which Is much
needed. will be most acceptable. Those
who rave packages to send have only to
inform The World" by postal card, and
the American Express Company, which
has generously undertaken to assist In
helping along the good work, will call
and collect the bundles free OF charge.
1t Is not known yet how many cars
will be sent in the relief train. but the
donations up to the present time indicate
that not less than ten carloads Will start
from this city. 1t is to be hoped tina
double Int number will be filed. and
this can easily be accomplished within
the next two or three days, II every one
who IL able will do his or her share In
this great work of charity.
The Pennsylvania Railroad will trans
port the train to Brunswick and the
Sea Islands, where the suffering Is the
greatest, and the provisions and cloth
Ing will be distributed carefully where
they will do the most good. Every
body's mite will count for something.
When distress Is SO general there Is no
danger that any gift, however small.
will go astray.
Many letters OF appeal for assistance
have been received by THE WORLD
from those working among the people
In the flooded districts. and they can.
not be read without touching "A deer

ALASKA HAS CRACKED SHAFT.
A Marvel that She Game Safely
Into Port.
The Accident Not Discovered Until
Her Arrival Here.

The Guion Line Steamship Company is
well pleased at the fortunate outcome
Of an accident that occurred to the big
freight and passenger steamship Alaska
Capt. Murray was astounded Tuesday
morning upon being informed that a big
and dangerous crack had been discovered
In the main shaft. The discovery was
made while ~overhauling the machinery,
according to the custom at the termina-
ton Of every voyage.
The Alaska arrived Monday from Liv-
erpcol with passengers and a valuable
cargo. She made the voyage In the
usual time. There was no extra strain,
1t is declared, upon the machinery. When
and Just how the shaft became cracked
Is a question that neither the engineer
nor any other man on board seems able
tn answer.
1t is certain, however, that the crack
was made during the voyage. perhaps
and highest seas during the voyage
were encountered. But there was moth
ing In the action OF the machinery to
The engines were. therefore,. kept going
at the usual rate until reaching port.
What the ships officers marvel at Is

the wind and waves, as was the I'm
bria for several days, a short time
ago because Of a similar accident.
The break In the Umbria's shaft. how
ever, WAS of such a nature that the
chief engineer was enabled to. mend II
by encirc!ing 1t with steel bands, With
these temporary repairs the ship pro-
ceedei slowly to port a number of days
overdue. The work Of the chief engineer
was pronounced a masterpiece OF me
ohanical skill without a parallel In
marine records.
Had the shaft of the Alaska been as
badly cracked as was the Umbria's she
might now be drifting helplessly about
on the ocean.
A force of about twenty machinists
but the job, according to Capt. Murray,
will probably not be completed before
next Thursday. She was to have sailed
Saturday. but the date has necessarily
been postponed for n week.
