"Toffee" as Made In England.

From odds and End of Culinary Geog-
 raphy," by Miles Bradford in The Bo-
 hemian for January.
 It may be possible that there are some persons who grow old 50 thoroughly that they actually forget that they ever were children, but I can't help wondering if any man or woman ever lived to such an age to become impervious to the de- lights of 'toffee." or the butter scotch that has made Doncaster a household word to every civilized nation under the sun.
 Of course. you have eaten tito the joy of your soul and to the detriment of your teeth-and, If you will promise not to repeat 1t, I will give you the se- cret recipe for this candy. for 1t is made nowhere as in England. Take three pounds of coffee or e sugar, butter to the amount of pound and a quarter. with half teaspoonful of cream of tar tar. First dissolve the sugar in just as much cold water as n be required for that purpose. then nj all the ingredients together. and boil them. without stirring the mixture until 1t will snap when dropped Into cold water. At this moment remove 1t from the fire; add eight or ten drops of lemon extract, according to it's strength, and pour the mixture into well greased pans to be cut into squares as It cools.'

Mir. W. o. Wag- gener. Large audiences attended both meetings, and 1t was interesting to note, apropos of the present movement for a centralized government, that any refer ence of the speakers to states rights called forth prolonged and enthusiastic applause At the court house a tattered Confederate fig, which passed through seventeen of the bloodiest battles of the war and was saved from capture by a devoted soldier on the surrender of Gen. eral Lee, waved before the speakers stand.
