ENGLISH BATTER PUDDING.
Old-FashiOned Dessert That Is Bound
to Find Favor with
Everyone.

One of the best of old English batter
buildings was made with fruit and
green but well developed gooseberries,
which were selected as the best of fruit
for the purpose, though sliced peaches
and cherries were also used, says the
New York Tribune. Head and tail"
a quart of gooseberries just before
they turn. Crumble into fine crumbs
a slice of bread. Add yolks of four
eggs, beaten well. Stir in ten table,
spoonfuls of sifted flour before the
whites are added. Gradually add
enough milk to make in all pint, and
then add the whites of the eggs, beaten
to stiff froth. Finally stir in the
quart of gooseberries already pre-
pared. and boil the pudding in heavy
cloth buttered and dredged with flour.
Turn the pudding twice while it is
cooking. Let it boil for two hours.
Serve it with a simple sauce of butter
and sugar and the white of an egg.
Beat cupful of graduated sugar with
half a cupful of butter. Add half a
wineglass of boiling water to the but
ter and sugar beaten TO q cream, and
after beating a moment put in the
white of one egg, beaten to a very stiff
froth. Add nutmeg and let the sauce
cool on the ice untilit is very cold. Serve
it with the hot pudding.

FAIR EAVESDROPPERS.
A Business Man VIII Learn HOttentOt
So That He May Battle the
"HelIO" Girls.

"Remember the old fable about Pan
dora, the woman whose fatal curiosity
led to the infliction of all sorts of evils
on the world out of box, where they
had been placed by the gods?" queried
one Pittsburgh business man to an
other, says the Dispatch. Well there
are plenty of Pandoras nowadays, but
they are not called by that name. They
are known as Maude and Minnie and
Susie, and their sweet voices gently
coo: What number, please" to us over
the telephone wires from ten to fifty
times a day. The hello girls are the
/ modern Pandoras, who furnish daily
evidences that fair femininity has not
yet outgrown the deadly vice of curios-
ity. Formerly l used the phone for
confidential communica tions, chats
with friends and members of my fam
lily, in which L said things l would not
want shouted from the housetops.
Now l don't. l have awakened to the
fact that there is a third listener to
the conversation in about nine times
out of ten. There used to be an old
joke about girls wanting to get jobs
in the post office where they could read
the postal cards. Those same girls are
now obtaining positions in Central
where there is just about ten times the
fun. and there is less strain on the
eyes deciphering careless chirography.
Any girl can listen, and it is safe
gamble that she will whenever she
gets chance. Were you ever in the
midst of an interesting conversation
with friend when a melodious voice
broke in with: Through yet?' or a
similar inquiry? That girl had been
listening, dead sure.
''Prove it? Easiest thing in the
day. l knew the girl on my wire had
been listening. l was talking to a
friend in the Carnegie building just
then and l asked him if he heard of the
awful disaster on the Monongahela riy-
er. l didn't go into particulars. Five
minutes later the bell rang and a fem
mime voice wanted to know all about
it. Was she listening?
''I'd get up public agitation on this
natter but for one thing. There is a
state law, as you doubtless know, pro-
viding for fine of 500 or six months
Imprisonment for any emFloye of
telephone company who shall divulge
the contents of any message with
which he or she may become acquaint-
ed. Now suppose that law is enforced.
What would be the result? 1t would
completely paraiyze the telephone
service until the companies could get
more employees, and the service is bad
enough now, goodness knows! Put the
dear creatures in cells for six months
and they would pine away for lack of
interesting conversation to listen to.
No, let 'em listen. I've got scheme.
I'm going to learn Greek or Hottento+,
or some other foreign language, and
get my intimate friends to do the same.
Then we can converse in comfort"
"Your scheme is no good" rejoined
the friend. every telephone girl in
the two cities would be onto your lan=
guage in six weeks"

THE LATEST IN DRESS.
Silk Mits Worn with Elbow Sleeves
transparent Materials for

! Long silk mitts in black or white are
worn by very many fashionable wom-
,en this season (who have elected elbow
sleeves for promenade, church and Wis
sting costumes, in preference to suede
or glace kid gloves of any description.
The new style of Frenchmade silk mitt
is very shapely and trim, fitting the
arm as perfectly as a fine silk glove,
and proving even more satisfactory
than this comfortable style of hand
covering, for the mitts display to great
advantage well-mancured, white

that are now permissible with stylish
day costumes, says the New York Post.

the blouse or shirt waist worn beneath

How to Prepare Limewater and 9th
er Things Good to Have
Handy.

Wherever water is used in prepar-
ing bleaches it had better be soft. The
alkali in hard water affects all chem
standard preparation for bleaching
white things and removing spots and
stains, but it must not touch colored
surfaces. To make it dissolve half a
pound of washing soda in pint of boil
ing water and mix it with a quarter
pound of chloride of lime; dissolve in
a quart of boiling water. Stir well, let
settle, pour off the clear liquid and
keep closely corked in a dark place,
says the Washington Star.
Lime water is not strictly bleacher;
indeed, it has $ o many uses it is hard to
classify. 1t is good to soften water,
to sweeten drains, to keep milk vessels
wholesome, to make milk itself set well
upon delicate stomachs, to test air for
excess of carbonic acid-if there is too
much carbonic acid present the clear
lime water instantly crusts over-to
take out marks left by grease spots
which have been removed by stronger
alllalies, in fact, for so many things it
should always be kept on hand. Mixed
with either sweet or linseed oil to a
creamy consistency, it is the very best
household remedy for burns and
scalds. 1t costs practically no more
than the trouble of making. Put a
lump of quicklime as big as the two
fists in clean earthen pitcher, cover
1T six inches deep with clean cold wa ter,
stir with wooden spoon and let it
stand six hours. Pour off the clear
liquid without disturbing the lime and
let it run through double cheesecloth.
Put in small bottles and cork tight. In
using always pour off half an inch
from the top of bottle that has stood.
Carbolic Acid-With the drug stores
right at hand one need not bother to
dissolve carbolic crystals; it is easier
to buy any strength required. But
since all the world does not live next
door to the apothecary, the way to
make sure of dependable carbolic
acid is to buy the crystals, say half a
pound at a time, and keep them in a
thick glass bottle with a ground glass
stopper, well wrapped from light. At
need, set this glass bottle upon hand
full of straw in vessel of water, put
over the fire and let the water boil I'M
It'll the crystals dissolve. Two table
!spoonfuls of the dissolved crystals in
"a gill of cold water give the solution of
the standard strength per cent.

ODD THINGS IN PENCILS.
Some Are Made for Use on Glass and
Others for Writing ON
Human Skin,

"Black lead pencils" said the sta
TONER, "are, ,of course, the kind most
commonly used; but colored lead pep=
ellis are, in the aggregate, sold in large
numbers, and they are made in very
great variety, relates the New York
Sun.
ARTISTS lead pencils are made in
more than so, in perhaps as many as
a hundred, colors. In these pencils
with the lead in wood, the wood is fin
ished of a color approXima ting near=
ly as may be that of the lead. 4 tray
of samples of such pencils thus pre-
SCENTS very striking appearance, maxi
ing more than rainbow of color.
''Thcre are made, also, colored leads,
for use in pencils for movable leads.
These artists pencils of one sort and
another are used not alone by artists.
but by architects, engineers, design
ers, craftsmen, and others having oc-
casion to use fine colored pencils.
''Then there is great variety of
colored pencils for general use, for
checking and marking and so on, in
office, and store, and library and fac
tory, some of these being sometimes
paper and wood.
''There are colored pencils, these
also being made in various colors,
that are especially designed for the
use of lumbermen; as there are also
pencils with leads of various colors
made especially for the carpenters
use.
"No doubt the common idea of lead
pencil is of something with which we
mark on paper, though the use of pen
ellis for marking ION wood is familiar
enough, as, in a more limited way, is
their use for marking on fabrics, and
so on; but there are various uses to
which pencils are put that must be
less familiar, if not indeed quite I'M
known to many.
''There are, for example. pencils
especially made for marking on glass,
porcelain, polished metals, oilcloth,
patent leather and other things upon
which the ordinary pencil would not
mark at all, The leads of these pen-
ellis are, of course, made of material
especially prepared for the purpose.
With such pencils marking is done
easily on any of the hard, polished sur
faces, and the marks may be as easily
rubbed OFF.
''These pencils are in use In drug
stores and hardware, glass and crock
cry stores and so on. They are made
with white and with black leads, and
with leads in a variety of colors, the
eoioFed pencils being the more gener-
ally used and the eolors most common
ly used being red and blue and yellow,
"Another odd sort of pencil is one
made for the use of surgeons for
marking on the skin in surgical oper-
atoms and for anatomical purposes.
These also are eolored pencils and they
are made In variety of eoloFs:
''ln fact, simple thing as the lead
pencil might seem to be, it Is really
something that is made in almost end
less variety; but, for all that, the pen
ell manufacturer gets every now and
then from somebody demand for
new pencils for some special use"
