- NoveI Decoration.

That the love of toys is not by
any means confined TO children is
brought 10 ones attention onca
more by the newest freaks in table
ornaments. The Noah's ark has
been put TO n novel use and now
"decorates' the table and undoubt-
eddy creates an abundance of small
talk between courses. The animals
are made Of silver, well modelled and
larger than those stiff wooden crea-
lures of the old time ark. The ac-
cepted scheme is to arrange these
beasts and birds in winding pro-
cession among the flower pieces,
where they are sure of being bril-
liantly lighted by the lamps or can
dies. One hostess who never al
lows conventions to check what she
calls her ''quaint ideas" arranged
her procession of elephants, gi-
RATES., COWS and pigs in a letter S,
which wound round the silver dishes
filled with sweet peas and ferns. At
one end of the table was the ark,
made OF brown bark and apparent
ly floating on a piece of mirror.

Aiss Parios's Recipe For Making a
Delicious Orange PUDDING.


Delicious Orange Pudding.
In recent cooking demonstra
ton Miss Parloa showed how to
make particularly delicious orange
pudding. The materials were a cup
ful of finely powdered cracker
crumbs, one cupful and half of
granulated sugar, three tablespoon
fuls of powdered sugar, one cupful
OF water, two tablespoonfuls of but
ter, the rind of three oranges and
juice of six and half dozen eggs.
Soak the cracker crumbs in the
cold water for an hour. At the end
of this time CRATE upon them the
rind of three oranges, using only
the thin yellow part. Squeeze the
juice from half dozen oranges and
add to the mixture. Break the eggs.
separating three whites from the
yolks and putting them away in
cool place. Put the butter in n
warm bowl and beat until soft and
creamy; then gradually add the sug-
ar. Beat the eggs, except the re-
served whites, until light and frothv
and add them to the sugar and but
ter. Stir this into the orange and
cracker mixture. Butter a pudding
dish holding two quarts and pint
and pour the pudding into it. Bake
for an hour in very slow oven.
Use the whites rs meringue.

The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1902-02-12

A recent consular report says that q
new method Of drying sugar beet pulp
which has been freed from Its contents
of sugar has lately appeared. The in
ventor Of the new method, the owner
of the machine factory of J. Sperber In
Vienna, starts with the suppositlon
that pulp which Is dried by heat from
a fire must be more or less soiled by
the particles of ash which come from
the used up fuel and must therefore
be highly Injurious to the animals con-
Stunning IT, suppositIon entertained
by many. which has, however, never
been proved In practical use to be cor
rect.
Sperber, therefore, dries with steam.
The pulp ID first cut up by machines
into small pieces about One-tenth Of an
inch thick and One-tenth of an inch
long, which ace passed into an appara-
tus where they are tossed to and fro
by means of shovel-like implements,
afterward coming into contact with
movable hollow bodies through which
steam flows. By this means the small
particles gradually lose their contents
Of moisture. The damp air Is carried
off by an exhauster which creates Il
small vacuum Exactly regulated by
the exhauster), and this also aids In
deslccating the pulp. When the process
Is completed, the pulp Is freed from the
machine by means OF screwlike con
trivance and Is raised up to funnel to
which sacks for the reception OF the
dried pulp are fastened.
