GIFTS OF AN EMPER0R's FAMILY.
What hriss Kringle Brings Little Princes

and a Princess.
An interesting article in the December
Ladies' Eoit1e journal describes Christ
mas with the German Emperor and his
family in the palace at Potsdam. "After
the. trees-0he for each of the family
have been arranged; and all is in readi-
ness;' says the writer, Nagel Won Brave,
the little princess, accompanied by her
next younger brother, opens the solemn
profession into the Shell salon, which is
qblaze. with light. For moment they
halt, the flooding lights are almost blind
ing, since to the Illuminate of the
Christmas trees is added the brilliance of
the many chandeliers with their multi
piicity of branches: Another short ia Use

brothers each take the little princess by
the hand and conduct her with gaIlantry
to her special table before turning away
joicings! :. Verify, in the most perfect in
terpretation Of the word this constitutes
youthful joyfulness. The Emperor, hay
ing conducted the ladies and gentlemen of
the court to the tables arranged for them,
leads the Empress to their ma jesties' ia
bies, and the hearty demonstrations of
pleasure which they exchange evinee the
ton of gifts.
But they do not lihger long over their
own gifts. The joy of the children grows
more and more lively. The princes show
one another their new treasures, Prince
Eitel Friedrich invites the crown prince to
visit his fine water-tight tent, while the
latter mounts bicycle of German manu-
facture. Prince Adalbert puts on his
snowshoes, which he would greatly like to
try at once in the park; and beside him
ms younger brother, Prince August, turns
the leaves of an illustrated book of the
Berlin Exhibition of Industrial Arts, to
which he made a visit. Prince Oscar

fortified citadel of paper mache which

StoPpaGes of Electric Cars.

frot: II. 5. Herring, in the American
Electrician, says: From large number
OF tests l found that the difference be-
tween making a stop and start at a sta
tlon and running past it varies from IS
watt hours to 100 watt hours, according
to the grade and load, the average ordi-
nary conditions with a partially loaded
aE-ton car being IS watt hours per stop.
These tests were made by running the
car over a road on which definite stop
ping places were designated, and a diff
1erent number of stops made on sue
resslve trips, each trip being repeated for
the same conditions until the readings
agreed. The car was loaded with sand
Dag and weighed on car scales. These
values, being obtained from about 100
s'1cn tests, are fair average results, but
cannot be depended upon for any par
tlcular case. as conditions may cause a
very large variation. But as an films
tratlon Of how these small values aggre-
gate,the following figures may be interest
ing: Assuming the cost of electrical en-
erey at ! cent per kilowatt hour, one
STOP would cost .OS5 cent, nearly one
tenth of cent. At this rate, the cost of
making one extra or unnecessary stnn on
cach trip OF fifteen trips daily would
amount d II OF, to l.2S cents per car per day. and
S5;Ol per car per year; for fifteen ears
40 per year, and for 100 cars, $467 per
year, merely for one extra stop per trim
Ih,s does not include the cost Of brake
SHOES and wear and tear nor the caDital
invested in the increased size of tho
power house. Taking an actual instance
OF OF an engine house located where two
INES OF cars pass the door, thirty cars
making fifteen round trips day and
eacn car passing the engine house twice
on each round trip, it was found that on
TINS same basis it costs the railway com
pany for electrical energy alone 7G cents
per day or 1918 per year to sion it's
cars at this one place. Even shonld tho

Is Il list for Catherine to choose from:
There is a st. Catherine virgin of royal
descent in Alexandria, who publicly con.

attempts to torture her on toothed

RULES FOR CANDY-MAKING.
Mrs. Rorer's Receipt for Home Made
Christmas CONNECTIONS.


Mrs. s. T. Rorer tells how to make
candies at home for the holidays in the
Christmas Ladies' Home Journal and
gives the following rules, which insure
the success of the work: "Never stir
the sugar and water after the sugar has
dissolved. Wipe down constantly the
granules forming on the side of the sauce
pan while the syrup is boiling. AS soon
as the sugar begins to boil watch it care
fully, having in your hand a bowl of ice
water, so that you may try the syrup al
most constantly. Have everything in read
mess before beginning. If the sugar grains
use it for old-fashioned cream candy or
sugar taffy. 1t cannot be used for fon-
dant: Use only. the best graduated sugar
for boiling, and confectiOners' xxx for
kneading. If your fondant grains with
out apparent cause you may have boiled
1t il little too long. A few drops of lemon
juice or little cream of tartar will pre-
vent this. Fondant is the soft mixture
which forms both the inside of the
French candies and the material in which
they are dipped, and it is to obtain this
that the sugar is boiled.
AFTER the sugar has reached the soft
ball. a semi-hard condition. it must be-
poured carefully into a large meat-plate
OF on marble slab. Do not scrape the
saucepan or you will granulate the syrup
Make your fondant one day and make it
up into candy the next Never melt
fondant by, placing, the saucepan ;mme-
diately on the stove. Prevent the danger
of scorching by standing the pan contain
ing it in basin of water If the melted
fondant is too thick add water most eau
tiously, a drop at a time. A half tea
spoonful more than is necessary will ruin
the whole. To cool candy place it in Il
cool, dry place. To keep candy put it
between layers Of waxed paper in tin
boxes. If the day is bright and clear the
sugar loses it's sickness quickly, there
fore select a fine day for your candy.

Christmas Giving.

Don't make task and burden of
Christmas. It is too good a season to be
so misused. Take it easy. If you: have
not been able to provide beforehand
against it's opportunities, practice reason
pass unimproved Receive all tb az is ta @p
en- to you graciously and with apprecia-
ton, remembering that to receive with
grace is quite as important in holiday
transactions as to give with goodwill.
Give no more than you can afford. Luck
lily for you it your purse is not equal to
your good Intentions: you will find that
the presents which it would be hardest
TOR you to neglect are not those that cost
the most, but simple things for children,
and people less prospered in this worlds
goods than yourself. To give to the
poor is luxury of comparatively small
cost, but to give to the rich is very apt to
be serious expense-not because rich
people value your gift for it's intrinsic
worth, but because of the dimensions of
your own notion of what is worthy to be
offered to people who already have every
thing they need.
Give freely of affection. It may cost
you something, but it won't leave you in
debt, Have fun if you can, and make all
the happiness you can for other people,
even IL you have to take trouble about it.
You may not be able to be munificeht. but
you certainly can afford to be unselfish:
and if Christmas brought about gen
eral prevalence of kindness and t1nselfish
ness among Christmas-keepets, the chief
end Of it would be quite as effectua1ly at
tanned as by ever SO universal transfer
of commodities between relatives and
friends. The giving Of presents IS only
Il means to an end. The end is love
and goodwill. If those sentiments are in
your heart, it matters not greatly whether
your pocket be long or lean. Christmas
will be Christmas-like to you, and you
will find means to make it Christmas-like
to others.-Harper's Bazaar.
