RULES FOR CANDY MAKING.
Mrs. Rorer Tells How CONNECTIONS May Be
Made at Home.

MrS. hOrer lSiiS I1O" SOuIeCtictis ASo
Made at Home.
Mrs. S. IT. Rorer tells how to make
candies at homo in The Ladies' Home
JOURNAL and gives the following rules,
which insure tho 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 saucepan. Do not shake or
move the saucepan while the sirup is
boiling. AS soon as the sugar begins to
boil watch it carefully, having in your
hand bowl Of ice water, SO that You
may try the sirup almost constantly.
Have everything III readiness before be-
ginning. IL the sugar grains, use it fol
old fashioned cream candy or sugar'
taffy. 1t cannot be used for fondant.
Use only the best granulated sugar for
boiling and confectioners' xxx for
kneading. If your fondant grains with
out apparent cause, you may have boil
ed it little too long. A few drops OF
lemon juice or little cream Of tartar
will prevent 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 OBJ
tain this that the sugar is boiled.
AFTER the sugar has reached the
soft ball, q senihard condition, 1t
must be poured carefully into large
meat plate or on marble slab. Do not
scrape the saucepan or you will granu-
late the sirup. Make your fondant one
day and make it up into candy the next.
Never melt fondant by placing the
saucepan Immediately on the stove.
Prevent the danger of scorching by
standing the pan containing it in a ba-
sin of water. If the melted fondant is
too thick, add water most cautiously, q
drop at a time. A half teaspoonful more
than is necessary will ruin the whole.
To cool candy place it in a 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; therefore
select fine day for your candy max
ing"

to the remarkable scene that had oc.
Cured at the White House on April z.
He referred to the call of the represen-

president and to the exchange of notes
on the Hispano-American situation.
He declared that no similar scene had
ever been witnessed in this country.
II want to register my protest" said

of the so.called powers of Europe en-.

this country what it shall do Icannot
understand why the president did not
inform them that this country would
not tolerate any interference from
them; yet here is the first step towards
the breaking down Of the Monroe doc.
trine, and the destruction of the nation.
And it is understood that these same
so.called powers are to go further and
make another assault upon the White
House with more pressing demands.
Within six months, these same powers
will be urging the United States to
agree to arbitration in order that our
liability for Spanish. Cuban bonds may
ha determined.
