solve and cook. When the strip boils,
wet the hand In cold water and wash
down the sugar from the sides Of the
pan. Then put on the cover; this pre-
vents any further accumulation OF sugar
on the sides. After two or three mo-
ments remove the cover, add saltspoou-
full Of cream Of tartar and allow the
sugar to boil briskly for two or three
moments. Have q good sized skewer
standing In cold water, remove 1t from
the water and plunge II into the boiling
sugar, then back into the water. Keep

mass to the water. Now II the sugar

it as dough Ii kneaded. When quite

AN RAsr QUESTION LEFT TO THE
NEWSPAPER.

All sorts Of funny questions come over
the telephone into Z newspaper ONCE.
Somebody q always making . bet on
some queer proposition or other, and the
decision Ii left In many cases 70 some Of
the papers. No sooner 10 the bet made
than the men who have put up the money,
or promised to do 90, bile themselves to
= telephone and ring up 1.-THE editor" Of
tho paper to which the decision has
been LETT.
Some Of the propositions advanced are
enough to make mule laugh, and some
ere sent over the telephone just to worry
the man who answers the ring and possi-
bly, to catch him with some trick. The
other day, for instance, some fresh boy
rang up newspaper to ask for sde-
cision on this proposition:
SIS Il legal for q man to marry bis
widows sister,
The young man who answered the
phone refused to "bite," and told the
inquirer that his question would be
answered through the columns OF the
paper, u he would write It out aud for
ward It with his name and address.
That Is the rule In most offices. This
particular question never came, OF
cJui %.
Another anxious inquirer, presumably
farmer, wanted cure for potato bugs.
The agricultural editor, to whom the
question was referred, replied that ne
could not tell until he knew what allied
the bugs. The questioner was probably
unable to describe their complaint, and
the consultation was not renewed.
But the other night there came one
that was too good TO lose, SO the young
man who received 1t answered II on his
own account.
"we've made a bet" said the fellow
who rang up the office, land we want
you to decide It."
"This paper doesn't decide bets" was
the answer.
.'Never mind the bet, then. just de-
eide the question, will your
"well, what Is your question:
"It't this" came the answer. "Can q
monkey SWIM
What an easy one. The young man at
the phone smiled happily as he put his
mouth down close TO the transmitter
and softly whispered:
''Just 90 down to the lake and jump
In. Then you'll find out all about IT,"
And then be gently rang of and went
on with his work.--Press aud Printer.

THE DISADVANTAGES OF PLAGIARISM

A rather amusing story Is toiu VI u
certain so-called popular preacher
the Rev. DIR. D., whose marvellous
powers Of eloquence invariably gathered
him large audiences. People wondered
at his sermons, and proclaimed him an
Intellectual genius. Now the doctor
was plagiarist who patched up his own
exceedingly poor sermons by introduce
Ing here and there passages from the
sermons of celebrated divines, but the
ingenious way In which he accomplish
ed this prevented discovery. Then, too,
his audiences, ne calculated, were not
students Of theology, and therefore not
likely to detect his appropriations. But
In this he made his mistake, and his ex-
posure took place as follows:
One day an elderly gentleman entered
the church and took seat In the first
row. As the doctor proceeded with his
sermon the gentleman broke In now and
then with such remarks as, That's Sher.
lock- All. from Tillotson." "Now
it's Blair" etc.
The doctor stood II for little while,
but at last. full OF wrath, he said
"My dear sir, II you do not restrain
your impertinent remarks and hold your
tongue, I'll have you elected"
The elderly gentleman, looking the
doctor calmly In the face, said, "That's
his own."--Harper's Round Table.

THE MINISTER TELLS THIS hIMsel


That We jump hastily at conclusioni
regarding the character of those we meet
IL seen In the incident which the friends
Of an eminent Methodist preacher like to
relate at his expense.
He went into the Old South church In
order to take last look at the interior
before II should become the museum
and relic repository it now Is. The
reverend doctor looked well about him,
and, turning to the sacristan Of pious
aspect, who WAS showing him about,
said:
~ was baptized In this church." and,
after moments pause, "but II has been
30 years since was within It."
Now the sacristan Was a man zealou;
in piety, but ill-htted to Judge OF char
acter, and, after mea surfing his guest fol
a moment, he answered with a sigh:
"Thst Is the way with meu--that |;
the way-they are brought up well by
pious parents, but they get out into the
world and they forget it-forget IL
Twenty years since you have been 10 4
