PROFITABLE PENNY CANDIES.
Millions of Dollars Worth of Them
Sold Annually


'NThe single penny that one child will
pay for candy isn't much, said a candy
manufacturer to the New York Sun,
but the pennies paid by all such pur-
chasers taken together, MAKE a large
sum, as matter of fact, millions of
dollars annually. That is what. trade in
penny candies amount to. These goods
are produced in thousands of varieties,
new ones constantly being added and the
most serious thought is bestowed on their
production. With such market a good
seller is worth while.
This large trade in penny goods has
developed within the last thirty years.
Before that, and say forty to fifty years
ago, as those able to go back so far will
recall, there was only half dozen to a
dozen kinds of candies sold for a cent.
These old-time candies are still sold to
some extent, but the markets for them
may have shifted and the candies them
selves have been more or less changed.
Stick candies, for instance, once in uni
versal demand, and the staple of all
stocks of candies sold for a cent, now
find comparatively little sale in cities or
in the east They are sold mainly in the
south. The old-time jujube paste is sold
in tablets or in little fancy figures so
many for a cent; and good old goose
berry ball, or some equivalent for it, is
likely to be sold now attached to the end
of a stick, by which it can more con-

veniently be held for consumption. The
cocoanut cake is still to some extent a
standby, but, take them altogether, the
oldtime things that once constituted the
whole lot are now relatively but insig-
nificant items of an assortment that is
very great.
THE largest candy manufacturers
include penny goods among their pro-
auctions, and they are endeavorlng to
constantly turn out in this line some
thing new, distinctive and taking. But
when thing has been got ready to put
on the market nobody can tell with GER
tainty in advance whether it will take
or not The children's taste is now so
much educated that they know good
candies, and they won't buy any other.
And as matter of fact these candies
were never so pure and wholesome as
now. But while the children insist on
good qualities, nobody can tell in adj
vance what, as to pecularites or char
acteristics will please their fancy. For
one thing, we may not be able to supply
the demand fast enough, and another
may be comparatively a failure. And
this without regard to the care bestow-
ed upon it.
1--WE have put out, for instance,
penny candy that five men had worked
over-the man who originated the idea
embodied in it, and four other men who
in succession had improved upon it IN
one way or another. But it had only
a spasmodic sale; practically it was not
go at all, while of a penny candy that
did catch the fancy we have sold in a
year and half million boxes.
You never can tell. We have just
now offered new penny candy that we
believe will take, and our customers
share that belief. We sell to the job
Der, the jobber to the retailer. OF this
candy we have sold in three days twelve
tons, to one customer a ton and
half. They buy on their Judgment,
but nobody can tell whether after all
this will actually be a success until it
has been passed upon by the children.
They will decide the question, and
from their verdict there is no appeal
"a thing that becomes popular may re-
main so and sell well for long time,
but, with the novelties constantly APP
pearing, old styles, of course, are grad
ually disappearing, superseded by the
riety of distinctly penny goods They

HOMEMADE WINDMILLs.

Nowhere in the United States are the
natural conditions more favorable to the
use of the windmill than upon the great
plains. The level country and the strong
and steady winds of this great section
have made them popular and reliable
means of obtaining power. The landscape
of the plains is thickly dotted with them,
and their variety is almost as great as
their number. Examples are found of
the old Dutch style, with sweeping arms,

most plentiful in the state of Nebraska,
along the broad valley of the Platte riv-
er, and from Omaha west to the state
line; for over 500 miles they are to be
found in great numbers. They are often
crude in appearance and of comparative
ly low efficiency, but the aggregate
amount of work they do is by no means
Insignificant They will pump water for
the stock and house, run light machin-
cry about the farm, and sometimes fur
nish water to irrigate small tracts of
land. The most important feature in the
construction of these homemade mills is
cheapness, hence the ingenuity of the
farmer is shown by the use of odds and
ends, which he works into his mill to save
the purchase of new material. Old wire
and bolts, scrap lumber and old poles,
neglected parts of buggies mowers and
reapers, crank chains and sprocket
wheels, all find their way into these
strange windmills. Many of the mills
have cost their makers nothing at all
but time, others have cost 81 or So, and
occasionally in the case of the more
elaborate ones the cost may run to $25,
$50 or S75 but $3.50 is the fair average for
a very large number. The prevalence of
these windmills on the plains must not be
taken to indicate want of money among
the people; on the contrary, it shows
commendable thrift and ingenuity which

to keep his own piper was accustomed To
employ the village piper when he had
company.
On one occasion, through some over
sight, Donald had not been given his pre-

his performance. Accordingly, he found
his bagpipe in a most refractory temper.
The laird asked him what was the matter
with it, and Donald replied that the
leather was So hard that he could do
nothing with it.
What will soften it?'' asked the anx-

"Och! just whuskey," said Donald.

VIRTUES OF THE ONION.
and Pessessed Of Rare Heal
ing Qualities.

The French tell US that the Amer
ical sprejgdieesag ainst onions is pure
" an affectation. And this must be
granted them from the fact that when
the onion is carefully and judiciously
introduced into dishes by a skillful
cook the very people who hold it in
such disdain and regard it as very
vulgar vegetable are loud in their
praise of the preparation that owes
much of its deliciousness to the pres
ence, in cunning disguise, of this de-
sPised bulb, says the Washington Star.
After salt, the onion is the most
valuable and indispensable favoring
substance in the hands of an expert
enced cook, who would consider him
self handicapped indeed without the
powerful little ally.
The onion, as we know it, embraces
several varieties; those which are
grown in the warmer climates being
much milder and sweeter, but all pos
sessing a pungent oil of an irritating
nature which renders them decidedly
indigestible when eaten raw; but az
a favoring agent, a condiment or q
vegetable, they are valuable as food.
The pungent volatile oil which gives
the onion the strong flavor and smell
is rich in sulphur, but the quantity
of this oil is minute, and when prop
erly cooked is soon dissipated and the
irritating properties so far removed
as to render the vegetable only slight
ly laxative. The food value of the
onion is considerably above that of
the turnip.
It may not be generally understood
that onions are disinfectants as well
as preventives against contagious
diseases. They readily absorb impuri-
ties as well as defend against diseases.
They are invigorating and in many in
stances nature presents her demand
for this class of food through the
craving of the individual for this Ia
booed little vegetable.
An old-time remedy for colds and
one that was very effectual in produc.
ing good results, was baked or roast
ed onion.
