A fig custard pudding is made of one
half pound of good figs, pint of milk,
the yolks of two eggs and the white of
one, one-half ounce of gelatin soaked
in cold water, two tablespoonfuls of
powdered sugar and a half cupful of
any kind of fruit jelly. Soak the figs in
warm water until quite soft, then split
and dip each piece in the jelly, which
has been warmed enough to allow the
figs to be well coated. Line a buttered
mold with the figs. Heat the milk and
stir into it the well beaten yolks and
the sugar. Return the saucepan to the
fire until the mixture thickens. Add the
soaked gelatin and set the pan aside to
cool. AS soon as it begins to harden

beaten, and beat the mixture until it is
quite spongy Fill the fig lined mold
and set in a cool place for several
hours This may be made the day be-
fore using and is good Sunday tea
dessert.

A MAGICAL TRANSFORMATION

minutes looks like wonderful achieve

The Seaboard Air Line Railway is the
only Florida road where such schedule
is practicable; as it is the shortest line
through the South Atlantic States, not
only to Florida, but to such points as
Plnehurst, and Southern Pines, N c..
Camden. S. c., Savannah, Brunswick,
Jekyl Island, etc. As matter of fact,
it's trains do not have to run as fast as
other limited Florida trains, the advantage
in distance being sufficient for this New
ertheless, the passengers by the Seaboard
take great pride in being first on the
ground.
The train consists of Pullmans of the
most modern and perfect construction and
luxurious appointments, handsome com
partment and drawing room sleepers, a
dining car perfectly equipped, and stocked
and an observation car.
The Seaboard Air Line is doing another
valuable service in opening up the Manatee

bad when it is unwillingly adopted.
There is no question which is individu-

must be governed in his eating, of
course, but grown men should be per-
mitted to follow their own tastes. Even
where those tastes are known to be
open to criticism the wise woman will
overlook the fact rather than run the
risk of substituting a worse condition
of affairs. She will drink substitutes
for coffee herself, eat raw food or veg

Leather Decoration.

An odd decoration for "den" is in
the form Of good sized drapery of
fine leather, soft brown in shade and
having a design of pine tree limbs cut
out upon it. The peculiar feature of the
decoration is that, let in behind the
branches, is satin colored to suggest
sunset sky. The tints are reddish brown,
harmonizing with the leather, yet
warm enough to suggest rich sunset
tone. The leather is Enclosed in scroll
of etching work, colored in brownish
olive tones, and at the top of the simu-
lated frame has been placed cluster
of pine cones in burnt work. The pine
tree limbs are also shaded in pyro-
graphic effects. The "skin" hangs upon
the door and lends an artistic decora-
tive touch to the apartment.

The Care of Furniture.

The care of furniture woods is an ex-
ceedingly interesting part of the intelli-
gent housekeeper's duties The daily
light busting must supplement the
weekly rubbing if the bloom" in this
instance not desirable, is to be kept
away. AS rule the use of oily restora-
tives is to be deprecated. Unless APP
piled by tireless arm and thoroughly
rubbed in and thereafter the piece of
furniture kept in perfect polish by a
daily rubbing, the oil is sure to form
crust sooner or later which is gummy
to the touch and not pleasing to the eye.
For this reason new furniture should
be kept as long as possible without the
application of such restoratives. Fur
niture which has been finished with
shellac or varnish, whether in glossy or
dull finish, should never be cleansed
with soap or water. Soap is made to
cut oily substances, and in the perform
ance of the service for which it is
made eats the oil out of the waxed,
oiled or shellacked surface it touches
and destroys it.-Harper's Bazaar

Her Point Of view.

A lady residing i'll quiet village in
Suffolk used to take an interest in a
very aged couple who were spinning
out the last thread of life in Darby
and Joan fashion, seated on either side
of the fireplace. She often paid them
visit to cheer them up. The old man
had been ailing, and at last a day came
when the visitor found only one chair
occupied. Darby was not in his usual
place.

'Well, mum, he be gone at LAST
"Oh, I'm very sorry. That is very
sad for you,' said the lady, seeking to
find some words of consolation.

old woman, ''but then, you see, he were
fearfully in the way of the oven."-

SERVICE APPRECI-

Had it not Been for the Wires of the
Bell Company There Would Have
Been Great Deal More Suffering.
Paterson Chronicle. Feb. 8th 1905 One
of the incidents in connection with the big
railroad wreck at Plainfield is attracting
considerable attention, serving as 1t did to
accentuate the necessity of telephones in
these days. The wreck took place directly
back of the residence of j. W. ID. Gluck.
Mr.. Gluck's thirteen-year. old boy, Garlic
saw what had happened and with surpris
ing presence of mind in such little fellow
promptly communicated by telephone
with hospitals and physicians, The suffer.
ing and loss of life in the accident were
great but they would have been far greater
had 1t not been for the fortunate fact that
Mr.. Gluck has telephone in his residence.
The circumstances induced Mr.. Gluck to
send the following letter to the telephone
company:
New York & New Jersey Telephone Co.,
No. 81 Willoughby Street,
Brooklyn, N Y.
Gentlemen: Permit me as a subscriber
to add my testimony to the necessity of
there being telephone communication in
every home.
1t is my good fortune to have been Sc
lected by Providence to be the means of
saving many lives as we'll as much suffer
ing and anxiety, through the prompt
action of my little son Garlic in summon
ing assistance over telephone from my
residence in Westfleld, N. j., during the
awful scene succeeding the wreck of the
Plainfield Express ON the Central r. r. of
N. j., on the night of Tuesday, January

house, and l cannot commend too highly
the prompt, and efficient service rendered
at that time by the operators of your

Pictures In the Home.

When we enter home, among the
first things to attract our attention are
the pictures, and from them we can
read the taste, or lack of it, of the lady
of the house, for they give us the key
note to her character. If we find
gaudy chromos and cheap oil paintings
made by lightning artists" we know
at once that refinement Is lacking in
that home. Pictures should be selected
always with an eye to the surround
ings in which they will be placed. If
the house is very large and handsome,
and money of no consideration, then
of course oil paintings by the best art
lists are preferable. People of moder-
ate incomes who wish tasteful homes
should choose water colors, engravings
or etchings if they can be afforded.
Artists signed proofs are most desira-
BILE, but no better than good copies,

DEFENDS LYNCH LAW.

One OF the most notable contributions
on the race question and lynching evil
was the speech of Hon. John Temple
Graves, the noted Georgia orator, lee
turer and journalist, delivered at Chau-
tauoua, N. Y, Tuesday before the
"Mob Conference" called to meet
there. He declared that lynch law in
the South is justified by the crime
which provokes and that lynching
would never DO discontinued until the
crime is eliminated. He said that the
elimination OF the crime would never
occur until the races were separated.
He said in part;
1.-THE problem Of the hour is not how
70 prevent lynching in the South, but
the larger question; How shall we
destroy the crime which always has
and always will provoke lynchingS' The
