TOPICS OF THE HOUSEHOLD.

IOfICS Of ! HE HOUSEHOLD.
With an aluminium dish in which to
cook home made candies, the danger
of burning is reduced to a minimum
Since heat distributes itself equally
through all parts of the metal the
point over the blaze is no hotter than
are the sides of the utensil. More
over, an aluminium pan in which to
cool the mixture requires no oling to
keep it from sticking.
Many CONNECTIONS - notably the
Judges, creams and pulled bars-are
at their best when home made. For
fudge there are about as many for
mulae as there are women who make
it, and each pretty surely claims for
her product the distinction of possess
ing the most delicate flavor and tex
ture
Molasses candy, less often than
others, is we'll made in the home kit
chen, although when properly treated
there it is more delicious than the
professionals kind.
Cream candies made of fondant lend
themselves to great variety. For
one toned table in pink, yellow or
green and white they are easily
adapted. Pink may be obtained from
cranberry juice or from the pink col
oring sold by all grocers, yellow by
the yolk of eggs or by saffron and
green from spinach juice or from the
vegetable coloring sold by grocers.
Coffee and chocolate give the browns.
The usual proportions Of a cupful
Of cream to two curfuls Of sugar is
decried by the best fudge makers,
who hold that the less liquid there is,
and consequently the less cooking,
the more delicate the texture of the
candy. A rule for chocolate fudge that
has stood a long test calls for half a
cupful Of cream or milk, one cupful
of graduated sugar. half a cupful of
coffee &C" sugar or of shaved maple
sugar one teaspOOnful Of vanilla and
butter the size Of a walnut. Use a lit
tie moro butter. if milk and not cream
is employed. Bring the sugar and milk
or cream to a boil Add the chocolate

until the syrup spins a hair or until,
when cooled it forms soft ball in the
fingers. Stir in the butter and. when
it has blended, the vanilla. and beat
until it begins to grain. Turn the mix
ture into a pan. and when it has set"
sufficiently mark it in squares.
If cream fudge with nuts is wanted
use the same proportions, emitting the
chocolate and vanilla.
For maple fudge substitute grated
maple sugar for the granulated and
coffee CO. sugar and leave out the va
nilla Nuts in the proportion of
cUpful of meats to the above rule may
be used with either the chocolate,
cream or maple fudge. Butternut
meats are ideal for the purpose, but
can be had in comparatively few COM
muntes. A mixture of pecans and
/ English walnuts is excellent. For
variety candied cherries and cocoanut
! are some times mixed with them.

Benedict Arnold's house where he

innate fate was evident. A high
board fence has shut off all view Of
the house except from distance. To
day the frame of the old house alone
is standing, and within a week moth
ing save an old brick tunnel that end
ed in the cellar of the house and con-
nected it with wharf in Water street

"Captain B. Arnold, apothecary and

counted the gold his vessel brought
him from the West Indies. The build

come in from their reservations are
splendid in blankets of gorgeous hues,
with brilliant handkerchiefs tied
about their heads and the moccasins
of many of them gay with beads. This
afternoon there was a band playing in
the "plaza" or central square of the
town. Throughout the square are
many iron benches, these, together
with all the neighboring verandas,
were filled with people, which were
more interesting to us than was the
music. There were all types of Next
cans from the tiny black eyed babies
to the old women with shawls over
their heads. Quite a number of chill
dren we're on little burros, as they call
the donkeys. There were four boys on
one little mouse colored beast, not
much larger than big Newfoundland
dog. Here and there was a man on
horseback, with the queer Mexican
saddle. Two or three handsome car
riages, with coachmen in livery and
the horses in silver-plated harnesses
were drawn up around the square. A
lot of young Indians were playing with
the Mexican boys, and occasionally
brave, in gorgeous blankets, went
stalking about with his squaw. Here
and there were curious eastern tour
lists like ourselves looking on to see
the crowd. When 1 spoke of people
filling up the verandas [ forgot to tell
you that here the veranda, where
there is one, is really the sidewalk.
The houses, all one-story, are built on
a line with the street. and when there
is veranda at all it comes out over
the sidewalk. Except in the Ameri-
canized sections there is no such thing
as sidewalk. Where there is one the
older Mexicans very largely take to the
middle of the street.

Norwich, where he learned the art of
compromising drugs. He came to New
Haven when young man, In 1761, and
was employed by physicians, who were
won't to put up their own medicines.
Ten years later he had amaSsed COM
petence, and, engaging in business for
himself, began to build the house,
that is now being RACED. Water
street was then one of the aristocratic
sections of the city. 1t has changed
with the fight of time and now is
mainly place Of lumber yards, saw
mills, wharves and coal storage. Ar
mold was active in military affairs long
before the Revolution. He was the
first captain of the Second Company
of the Governors Foot Guard. That
gave him social standing in the colony,
but among the aristocratS of New Ha-
ven he was not so highly regarded, for
what reason history fails to say. His
reputation for smuggling may have
caused the Yale professors and the
college set'' to give him the cold
shoulder. But there was much social
activity at the Arnold house, and he
is said to have been lavish host, for
he served the choicest of wines and
his larder was always provided with
delicacies from distant parts of the
world. In their bearskin hats, leg
gings and brave trappings, the Foot
Guard, with Captain Arnold at their
head, were always feature of the
military, political and social functions
of community interest. Arnold and
his family are said to have been at
their dinner table when messenger
arrived with the news from Lexington
and Concord in ITS. Captain Arnold
did not wait to finish the meal. At
the head of company that volunteer
ed for service he marched away from
New Haven, and except for occasional
visits never lived in the city again.
The house was coniscated by the gov
eminent when Arnold became a trait
or. Citizens Of New Haven expunged
his name from the records of clubs
and societies. John Prout Sloan
bought the house after the govern
ment contiscated it. Sixteen years
later Noah Webster rented it and liv-
ed there nearly 10 years. He was an
instructor in Yale and worked there
upon his dictionary. James Hunt, a
merchant, afterward bought the
house, and with his family and de-
scendants lived in it many years. For
so years following it was rented to one
family after another. The last
known occupant was Adam Beckham,
an old German, who lived there with
his wife and let rooms. When Mrs
Beckman died a wake was held in the
big drawing room, where Arnold's So
cial fetes were held. After that it
stood vacant until it was bought by
the lumber merchants for storage pur-
poses. To the New Haven Historical
Society the owners of the house have
given all that is valuable for preserva-
ton from the interior appointments.
Several doors, manJelpieces and
wrought iron work will be put on ex-
hibition in the museum OF the society

1 intended to write to you on the
train to-day, but spent all my time see
ing what was to be seen. When first
woke up early this morning, in Colora-
do, put up my curtain and looked out
to see how things looked. 1t was too
dark to see any of the details, but I
got the idea that we were travelling
over a countryC.as level as the house
floor, as far as one could see. BY the
time it was light enough to see plainly
we found that we we're getting into
the bills. From five to fifty miles on
each side of us was the level stretch,
a yellowish, brownish hue, back of this
low cliffs Of dull brown sandstone, here
and there dotted with clumps OF stunt
ed pines, Jack pines the men called
them), clinging to the steep sides and
looking black, rather than green, in
the distance. Still back of these we're
snow crowned peaks, dazzling as bur-
nished silver in the sunshine. This
was the general scenery all day, until
toward 3 o'clock. The plains gradual
ly narrowed down around us as we
climbed upward towards Glorietta
Pass. 1t took two monstrous engines
to bring us up the grade, till we reached
an altitude of about 1000 feet. On the
ranges through Colorado and northern
New Mexico, saw only one large flock
OF sheep and one of goats. The cattle
we're all over, usually parties of from a
dozen up to 30 or 40 grazing together,
but there were hundreds of these small
herds stretching back to the foothills,
until they we're tiny black spots
against the light brown turf. The
grass seemed cropped very close and
what was left did not seem to have any
more nourishment in it than SO much
bleached straw, yet the cattle and
horses near enough to the track to see
seemed in good condition. In only
two or three cases did l see any ar
rangements made for extra feeding
Occasionally, off in the distance one
could catch glimpses Of group Of Ions
low buildings, that l suspect belong tt
the owners of the land, but near the
track almost the only thing we coult
see were the queer Mexican huts
("Greasers" they call them here). Tn
better ones were adobe,-roughl.
shaped sun dried bricks,-but only /;

is OUR CHRISTIANITY CHR1sTIAN?-BY
o. o. WRIGHT.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Judge
OF the world. Not in any arbitrary
sense, but by the Spirit of Truth. He
Is the standard and test of conduct and
character because He is the noblest
and best the world has.ever known:
and more divinely perfect than men
have even the power to conceive. This
the world will asa rule acknowledge.
Everything in the world, then, must
be tried by Christ, Christianity itself
not excepted. For what is it we call
Christianity? 1t is what men think of
Christ, and the works they do because
they believe in Him. Christianity at
any period Of its history is the outward
expression of the in-dwelling life of
Christ as it is developed and embodied
in the life of the world. Christ is the
leaven Of the divine life hid in the
world, and Christianity, at any stage
of it's progress shows how far the three
measures Of meal, or all human inter-
ests on the earth, have become leaven-
ed.
All things are by comparison more
or less perfected, and so is our Chris
tianity. Primitive Christianity is one
thing; medieval Christianity is an
other thing; modern Christianity has
it's own characteristics; and the Chris
tianity of the future will differ essen
TALLY from all its past and present
phases. And yet Christianity is one
and the same, and is more or less COM
plete in the principles it teaches and
practices, just in proportion as men
apprehend and love, and do according
to the spirit, doctrine and example of
Christ.
Jesus, Himself, is ever the same,
yesterday, to-day and forever; but the
world changes. Men do make progress
under the divine guidance. There was
time when Christianity was pro-
claimed with the sword, and forced
upon men by the terrors of the inquisi-
tion. Again it was yoked with politi-
Cal despotism; and again 1t has been a
thing of controversy. 1t was not
Christ who did these things, but these
things are what weak and erring NOR
tails did with the pure and peaceable
doctrines of Christ.
To what extent, then, is our Chris
tianity of to-day Christian? This is a
question which we may we'll ask our
selves. Are we truly loyal to our divine
Master? Do we fairly represent the
meek and lowly Saviour? Are we
teaching the truth as He taught it in
the spirit of the Fathers love? Does
the Church really stand for the spirit
ual family of God,-"the blessed COM
pany of all faithful people?' Are we
working out the eternal principles of
the Kingdom of Heaven in our social
life? Or are we blindly and persistent
ly subverting the faith, hope and love
of the Gospel to compass our own self
ish purpose? Let us consider in all
what spirit we are Of before
we send out missionaries and evangel-
lists to convert our Christian brethren
to our ways, opinions and manner Of
life. Let us beware lest our converts
prove to be perverts. Aggressive re-
ligion has its perils.
