hardly be called a failure OF stock sharing

promises from the Window Class Workers
association. through ia president simon
Burns. Ia return for the 0fIsr Burns was
TO furnish sufficient skilled labor 10 keep
the works running during the summer
months ana thus lay up a surplus which
would help the company control the mar
ket for window glass. Tie men wanted TO
work as they pleased and the dissatisfied
ones withdrew TO form another association,
Burns was made a director Of the company,
but was unable 70 carry out his agreement
While the plan fell through six months ago,
official announcement was not made Of the

about this time. when each hostess brings
out slice of her own special brand Of SIM

sherry. for the delectation of her visitor.
When the Prince of Wales-now Edward
VII-was married the ladies' of Bury sent.
as a wedding present, a very large simnel
cake.
As made to-day the cake is similar to
pound cake. excepting that II Is favored
with essence Of almond and made a rich
yellow by dipping cake of saffron tied in
cheesecloth into hot water. then squeezing
out little Of the rich coloring matter. The
cake Is baked in n plain round tin. well
lined with white paper. When perfectly cold
the cake is ready for the next step in the
operation. which entities it to rank with the
modern simnel cake.
Half a pound Of shelled Jordan almonds
are blanched. then placed in a mortar and
pounded to a. paste. with a tablespoonful
OF two eggs are whipped and added to the
almonds. with as much well sifted confec-
toners sugar as is required to make a
stiff frosting that will hold itself in shape.
With this paste wall is built around the
edge of the cake on top. leaving large
sized well in the center. Then the cake IL
placed in slow oven until the almond
frosting is thoroughly dried. The hole In
the middle Is then filled. when the cake gets
cold, with all sorts and kinds of preserved
and cand.ed fruits, the larger ones like the
plums or pears at the bottom, and the
smaller ones-cherries, strawberries and the
like-at the top.
row of banched almonds are then
placed in the spaces between the fruits. and
the cake stands complete.

Specification of each name
At the end of twenty minutes all papers
are examined and prize presented to the
maker of the best list.
A signed sketch by popular artist or an
autograph copy of book of the (lay would
make good prizes, as in either case 1t Is the
signature or name which makes the article
of special value.
Hodgepodge naming comes next upon the
list, and very good fun it it. Here all the
numbers from one to thirty are written sew
eral times upon slips of paper, using a diff
ferent slip for each number. Put the slips
in bag, which is tied with drawing string
leaving just opening enough to admit the
hand.
The bag Is passed around the circle each
player drawing out slip in turn. 1mmed
lately on drawing slip. and before another
Is drawn, the competitor must give come
historical. literary or NEUROLOGICAL refer
ence which involves the number he draws.
Thus. If he should draw the number eight,
he might name the eight Henrys of Eng
land, the eight beautitudes of the Sermon
on the Mount.
II he drew the number three he might
refer tothe Three Cordinal Virtues, the
Three Kings of Israel, the Three Magi, the
Three Craces The Three Furies and the
like II the number two fell to his lot he
might luckily call THE Two Gentlemen of
