Then the children knelt down on the
floor of the car beside their improvised
beds. 1nstinctively the hands of the

were off.
The cowboy stood twirling his hat,
and looking at the little kneeling fig

when eaten at the proper time, in
proper quantities and made of pure
materials. Homemade candies are al
ways pure, the best materials are used
and the cost is much less than is paid
for the same grade in the stores. It
is a nice plan to. make your own
Christmas candies, and you can send
boxes away to your friends who will
prize things made for them much more
than anything bought.
ITO send candies away they should
be made to look as dainty and pretty
as possible. Fancy baskets can be
cheaply bought that will be pretty
after the candy is used, and lined with
waxed paper over a fringed inner lin"
ing or some delicate colored It's
sue paper. In packing place waxed
paper between the layers, and when
the basket is filled wrap the edges OF
the lining paper over the top SO that
the candies are covered, then gather
the fringed tissue paper into a rosette.
and tie with baby ribbon.
In making peanut candy, to every
half pint of shelled and blanched pea
nuts use one cupful each of molasses
or sugar. Boil together until the mix
ture is brittle when dropped into cold
water; then stir in the half pint of
peanuts before taking from the fire.
Pour into buttered pans and mark off
into squares or lengths before it cools.
Hickory nuts, English walnuts or al
monds may be used in place of pea
nuts.
To blanch nuts is to remove the fine
skin which covers the nut under the
shell. This will easily rub off in pea
nuts, but other nuts require different
treatment. After removing the shell
cover the nuts with boiling water, and
let them stand until the dark skin
will easily rub off, then put them into
cold water. Dry between towels.

THE DAY OF DAYS.

A thousand years have come and gone,
And near a thousand more,
Since happier light from heaven shone
Than ever. shone before;
And in the hearts of old and young
A joy most Joyful stirred,
That sent such news from tongue to
tongue
AS ears had never heard.
And we are glad. n we will sing,
AS in the days of yore;
Come all. and hearts made ready bring,
To welcome back once more
The day when first on wintry earth
A summer change began,
And dawning or a lonely birth,
Uprose the Light of man.
