TAPIOCgA CREAM.

Soak two tablespoonfuls of pearl tapi-
oca in sweet milk to cover over night;
or, if in a hurry, in hot water to cover
in the top of the double boiler set on
the back OF the stove. When the wa
ter is absorbed, or in the morning, as
the case may be, add a generous pint
of boiling milk and cook until the tapi-
Oca is soft and transparent. Add the
yolks of two beaten eggs, a half salt
spoonful Of salt and scant half cup
of sugar, and cook two or three mo-
ments only, until thickened like boiled
custard. Flavor with vanilla or nut
meg, take from tho lire and beat in
the whites of the eggs already whipped
to stiff foam. When cold place upon
the ice to chill. A change is sometimes
made by beating the whites Of the
eggs stiff, allowing a tablespoonful
of sugar to each egg, then spreading
over the top of tlg custard, which has
been poured into the dish from which
1t is to be served Set in a cool oven
to make the meringue puff and be-
come delicate brown Another nice
way to fix the tapioca is after boiling
TO pour into individual moulds that
have been well buttered, then bake in
moderate oven, the cups set in pan

done spread over the top Of each
small quantity of currant or other acid

Set back again in the pan and into the
oven, which must be cool. If too hot
leave the door open. Let the meringue
rise slowly and color.

Automatic sign novelties are the pre-
vailing craze among those merchants
who cater to popular taste, and the
nimble-witted person who can suggest
that kind of a business-getter will not
have to haggle over his compensation
from the storekeeper who profits by it.
One of the simplest. yet most effec-
tive Of these signs, has recently been
giving a warm, cheerful greeting to
the crowds who scramble through the
windy canyon of Nassau street. A
drug store has utilized the ordinary
giIded sign--an ice cream soda glass
by running small steam pipe mp the
back of the sign. This pipe spouts a
cloud Of steam over the rim Of the glass
so realistically that the passerby inn
mediately becomes temperance adyo-
cate at the thought Of hot soda. New
