WASHINGTON, November 5.-Gen.
Greedy, chief signal officer, says there
will be no practical demonstration Of
the Marconi system of wireless teleg-
raphy in connection with the signal
service Of the army. 1t is understood
that the instruments brought by Mar
conf to this country are unsuited to
greater distance than twelve miles by
land and thirty miles by water. The
signal corps, which operates a system
of its own at distance Of twelve miles,
was unwilling to have demonstrations
made unless there could be assurances
of greater distances than those prom
ised This concluded the negotiations,
which have been in progress for some
time. 1t is understood Marconi will
sail tomorrow for England in connec-
ton with the use of the wireless system
in South Africa.

DAILY HOUSEHOLD COLUMN.
Well Made Sauce is an Essential to
a Perfect Hot Pudding.
MARION HARLAND
Writes Mondays for This Department of
The Register.

PUDDING SAUCES.

-~N~,
PUDDING SAUCES.
A hot pudding to be perfect must be
accompanied by a well-made sauce In
many households butter-and-suga OF
sugar-and-cream are what one small
boy calls the trimmings" served with
all buildings, plain or elaborate, boiled
or baked. Many deserts are SO much
improved by the addition of savory
sauce that it would be well for the
house mother to learn to make such.
The compounding of sauce takes but
a few minutes, and the welcome that
John and the boys will accord it makes
the time spent in the kitchen well
worth while.
HARD SAUCE.
Rub together half a cup of butter
and two small cups of powdered sugar.
when light and soft. add a teaspoon
full of vanilla and a dash of nutmeg.
Beat hard, then put in small dish TO
form. Set in the ice until very hard;
loosen about the edges with knife
and slip out on a plate.
STRAWBERRY SAUCE
Rub together a cup of butter and
two generous cups of sugar; add a
half-pint of capped strawberries, mash
ed. Whip to a pink cream and serve
from a gravy boat.
Preserved or canned strawberries
may be used in winter instead OF the
fresh fruit.
LEMON SAUCE.
Into a half cup of butter rub a tea
cupful Of graduated sugar, beaten
egg, and two teaspoonfuls of corn
starch When all are blended, turn in
to double-boile over the stove and
pour gradually upon them, stirring con-
stantly, two cups of boiling water.
When the sauce is thick, stir into il
half the grated rind and all the juice
of large lemon. Take Immediately
from the fire. Serve hot.
VANILLA SANCE
Is made according to the preceding rec
ipe, substituting two teaspoonfuls OF
vanilla for the lemon juice.
EGG PUDDING SAUCE.
Beat the yolks of three eggs light
with cup of powdered sugar. Have
pint OF milk heated to scalding in a
double-boiler, and stir slowly into this
the yolks and sugar. Add dash OF
powdered cinnamon, and stir over the
fire until the sauce thickens a little.
Add the juice of a lemon; remove from
the range, and beat in the stiffened
whites. Until yur pudding is ready,
keep the vessel containing the sauce
on the side of the range, but do not
allow the contents to boil.
FOAM SAUCE.
Mix together a cup of milk and a
cup of cream with pinch of soda, and
set over the fire in a double boiler
When very hot stir into the milk five
tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar, and
a tablespoonful Of corn-starch disso1v-
ed in gill of cold milk. Beat until
smooth and thick; add a etaspoonful
of extract OF bitter almonds and the
stiffened whites of three eggs. Re-
move from the range and keep warm
over hot water until wanted.
PEACH SAUCE.
For this use a cup of liquor from
stewed peaches, or the liquor drained
from canned peaches. Heat the liquor
and, when very hot add a tablespoon
full Of butter, the juice of lemon and
pinch of cinnamon. Stir well and
served while very hot.
