RULES FOR CANDY-MAKlNC.
Mrs. Rorer's Receipts for Homemade
Christmas Confections-Lays
Down Culinary Laws.

Mrs. S. T. ROrer tells how to make
candies at home for Christmas in the
Ladies' Home Journal, and gives tho
following rules, which insure the sue
cess of the work: "Never stir the sugar
and water after the sugar has dissolved.
Wipe down constantly the granu1es
forming on the side of the saucepan.
Do not shake nor move the saucepan
while the strip is boiling. AS soon as
the sugar begins to boil watch it care
fully, having in your hand a bowl of ice
water, so that you may try the strip
almost constantly. Have everything IN
readiness before beginning. If the
sugar grains use it for old-fashioned
cream candy or sugar taffy. 1t cannot be
used for fondant. Use only the best
granulated sugar for boiling, and confec-
TONERS Xxx for kneading. If your
fondant grains without apparent cause
you may have boiled it little too long.
A few drops of lemon juice or little
cream of tartar will prevent this.
Fondant is the soft mixture which
forms both the inside OF the French
candies and the material in which they
are dipped. and it is to obtain this that
the sugar is boiled. X h.
After the sugar has reached the soft
ball. a semi-hard condition, it must be
poured carefully into large meat-plate

ners cut a square hole three-quarters OF
an inch deep and large enough to re-
ceive the posts one and one-quarter
inches square.
With a small chisel and mallet cut
grooves between these holes, taking
care to carry the lines accurately, for in
them the glass fits, and if they are not
true the glass will spring and break. The
posthole at one corner and the grooves
are shown in Fig. I. From clear pine

inches square cut four posts IL inches
long and groove them at two sides as
shown in Fig. 2. These grooves are
three-eighths of an inch wide and
deep and must be cut very accurately.
Perhaps an easier means of arranging
the glass at the posts is to cut the four
pieces as shown in Fig 3, and groov-
ing an angle strip that may be
screwed fast to the posts after the
glass is set in putty The top rails are
grooved also, as shown in Fig. IA. and
at the corners they are Tapped, as
shown at B. These rails are one and
one-quarter inches wide and seven
eighths of an inch thick.
The corner posts are driven into the
holes in the corners of the Dashboard

the bottom and into the posts. Brass
screws are used at the top also. where

From cement and pebbles some very
pretty rockeries can be made, with
openings beneath for the fish to swim
under and pockets can be made at the
top to hold the roots Of aquatic plants,

In Fig. plain rockery is shown that

his fingers. In Fig. s a more elabor-
ate affair is shown. This was made in
the same manner, but with cavities or
pockets at the top to hold plants.
These rockeries can be eight or ten
inches long and five or six inches
wide, with a good flat base, so they
will rest securely on the bottom of the
aquarium. Always have plenty of sand
or gravel ana pebbles on the bottom
of the tank, to represent as nearly az
possible the bottom of a brook or shall
low place in pond, so as to make the
fish and other things feel more at
