icing Without Eggs

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 enteing upon the days of
scarce and expensive eggs. The recipe
in question directs the stirring of CON
fectioners' 6ugar-not merely pulverized
into orange juice. A still better way
OF making eggless icing IS the follow
ing, which as been in use IN some house
holds for a long time, and has en-
tirely superseded the usual methods:
Put over a bright fire n cup OF granu-
lated sugar 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 ball
in water, take off and set on the ice, or
in a dish OF cold water. When It has
partially cooled begin to stir with a
fork. 1t will become a creamy, pliable
mass, If all has gone well, that, after
iavoring Is added. can be spread at
once on the cake. If t should harden
too much, or be at all rough, add more
water and cook 1t over. The final re-
suit is perfection for icing or for hard
pudding sauce.

GREATER NEW o R

Tit "Greater New York. Commission,
headed by Andrew II. Green as presi-
dent, is moving again in the matter of
municipal consolidation. A meeting was
held at MIR. Green's offices yesterday,
and Mr.. j. S. r. %Stranahan and Mr..
Edward i. Linton were associated with
the President as n committee to pre-
Legislature.
The bill will provide for the submission
of the question OF union to the people
of the two cities for their decision. \
similar bill was beaten in the last LeEis,
1ature by the politicians, and they will
probably oppose the present measure.
They are not willing to allow the people
n vote on any subject in which their
political interests are involved. Hence,
although the proposition is simply TO
-6ubmit the question of consolidation or
no consolidation to the popular vote. 1t
meets the condemnation OF The Demo-
cratic leaders who rule both cities.
1t is believed that n large majority OF
the citizens interested will favor the
Greater New York, and while political
bosses may fight against It. and while
1t may be some years before it is ac-
complished, consolidation will come at
Nast.
EX-Comptroller Green's Commission
vmay be trusted to continue the agita-
ton of the subject until success is
sreached.

The story goes that when Mr.. Howells
was the editor of a certain magazine he
one day received a story from Miss
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. which he did
not care to publish. Why? Well, It was
called 1.-The Oysterman," and it dealt
with all sorts of queer people, who did
inelegant things and were not given to
good English. AS Miss Phelps had been
in the habit of having all her work ac-
cepted, Mr.. Howells didn't at first know
just what to do. h"t he finally wrote:
you know, Miss Phelps, .t!s is not a

profited by such distinguished criticism
and its title now was mot a Pleasant
