1t is not always an easy matter to dis
pose Of all the scraps Of pastry left after
making patties or pies Of any kind.
In olden times there was q variety of
nice little cakes made Of small pieces Of
fine pastry and garnishod with jelly.
jams or sweetened creams whipped to q
stiff froth and favored. The well known
"vells Of Cupid" as they were known
in those sentimental days, were nothing
mere than tiny fiat cakes Of pastry with
o raised ring - pastry laid on them, the
cavity in the center being filled with
jelly or jam of some bright color
These wells are sometimes made
OF cold boiled plum pudding. g;rnished
with creamy hard brandy sauce, and
they are then served at the holiday sea-
son and known as ''wells OF Noel" Al
most any plain cooky dough may be
rolled cut and cut up into circles and
rings of equal size. and have ring laid
on every circle and the cakes baked.
The cavity in the center may be filled
with bright red currant jelly.
Those dainty little CAKES called "mar-
igolds'' may be made of ruT paste or
any pastry or cake barrier that can be
rolled out They are especially nice
made of puff pastry glazed with sugar
| and baked n golden hue.
Cut out 90 circles of pastry with q
fluted cutter about two inches in diam
eter. Then stamp out an equal number
of rings about three-quarters of an irch
i'll diameter. Put these tiny rings in the
center of the large circles and stick
pieces of blanchod and shredded almonds
around the centerpieces. Dredge these
cakes with sugar and bake them in n
quick oven for about ten minutes, or
until they are nice golden brown.
Arrange little strips Of red currant
jelly longthwise around the edge be.
tween the strips of almond. These rep
resent the petals Of tie flower. These
cakes arc troublesome to make, but are
nice for n ch;ld's party or other gala &C.
casion.

OF pastry arranged in four loops in the
shape of st. Andrews cross. They
are decorated with bits of green grape
jelly and red currcnt jelly to represent
rubies and emeralds. Where q cooky
batter is used pieces Of candied cherry
and green lime or the prettier candied
angelica can be used.
Other cakes may be made in the form
OF small wreaths made of little leaves
Of pastry when baked. Bits Of bright
jelly set in various hollows of the wreath
represent blossoms. These are a delight
to children.-St. Louis Republic.

The Chinese are said to be very skill
full in telling the time Of day by looking
into cats eyes. When they want &c
know what O'Clock it is. they will run
to the nearest cat, open her eyes, and at
once tell what time it is. This they do
BY observing the size Of the aperture of
the pupil Of the eye, which they have
discovered is Of varying size at different
hours of the day, being affected by the
