The Kennebec County fair opened to-
aav under conditions that would have
Ion ideal, if just a bit of rain could
baye fallen the previous day to settle
,he~dust. AS it was, the crowd Of 1000
which had gathered was very we'll sat
,sAed The drivers in the races had
much to contend with, the track being
very slow; but all things considered il
was the lest first day that has been
experienced for many years.
There was a good race program, con-
ssting OF two events, the 2:19 class and
the $50 class, both for purses Of $50
A fact that was somewhat remarkable
was that the $50 horses stepped almost
ss fast as the PIG starters.
In the 219 class the first heat was
taken by Miss Edith, entered bJ Stew
art & knight of Fort Fairfield. This
mare had not been picked for the final
winner of the money, but after getting
only third place in the second heat.

Triyey S. made sharp bid in the sec
ond and landed in first place In that
heat. but IN the following heat. while
having a good show for first position
broke and was pulled almost to stop
before she regained her feet. This land
ed Trixey s. in second money. The best
time was in the first heat when Miss
Edith went the mile in 2.23A.
Three straight heats decided the 2.51
class, and the horses finished III the
same order each time. 1t was easy
money for Robert r. The best time was
225A in the last heat, when Robert p.
and Sylvia Swift had the closest brush
of any two horses during the entire af-
ternooG.
The heats were run off without any
,exatious delays, the entire program
being cleaned up shortly before

FOR FINE CANDIES
PROPER WAY TO MAKE FRENCH
FCNDANT.
Recipe Given Here, in Respect of Ma
teriaIs and Quantities, Is Intended
for the Beginner at Max
ina Dainties.

AS fOndant is the foundation for all
the fine French candies, a good work
ing knowledge of how to make it is
essential. -Molassas candy can be
made on a damp day, fondant never.
The materials needed are the best
granulated sugar for the cream,
small quantity Of cOnfecdoner's sugar
to be used in the kneading, vegetable
color pastes that can be purchased at
any first-class cOnfectiOneT's or made
at home, a little cream of tartar, and
then the filings, flav0Tings, nuts, etc,
that are to be used in connection with
the fondant. For favOring the ordi-
nary extracts are used, also maraschinO
and other cordials.
The formula for fondant is always
the same: A pound of graduated
sugar (that is, two ordinary cuptuls),
one cupful hot water, and half tea
spoonful cream of tartar. This is the
easiest quantity to handle for the anna
teur. After a little experience the
quantity can be doubled as fondant
can be made and kept on hand. Put
the ingredients into a granite sauce
pan with an extra heavy bottom, and
stir over a slow fire until the sugar Is
dissolved. but not a moment longer.
After il has become a clear sirup stir
ring will cause it to granulate. Heat
rapidly to the boiling point wtping
gently away with damp cloth any
moisture that aDDears on the sides OF
the pan If this drops back into the
pan it is apt to make the sirup grau-
pIate also. If any scum arises. remove

pentine put into half a gallon of water.
Wet the goods in this and hang IN
the shade to dry.
A good share of my ironing is done
with a . clothes wringer. Ii taken
while still damp, pillow cases, towels,
sheets and all rough pieces can be sue
cessfully treated this way. This means
a considerable saving of fuel and
labor
Not long ago | banished from the
kitchen wardrobe all the checks, den
inns and ticking aprons and re-
placed them with smaller number Of
oilcloth and waterproof aprons, long
skirted, bibbed and pocketed. No
form of work could spoil or stain
them; they called for no tedious wash-
ing or ironing but could be cleansed
like a slate with moist cloth.-The

BOIL THE HOUSEHOLD SILVER.
Will Give Appearance of Newness to
Treasured Articles.

One of the bestknOwn methods OF
making silver that is in constant use
look like new again and of removing
every trace of dullness for some time
TO come. says the New York Tribune,
is to put the various articles in large
tin wash boiler, after a thorough pol
ish with either hartshOTn and whiting
or silicon, and to cover them with wa
ter into which a handful of washing
soda has been thrown, and allow the
water 10 boil for two or three hours.
On removal, a good rubbing with
soft chamOis is productive of a very
high polish. In the case of handsome
handmade pieces, with repOusse or
embossed designs in high relief, this
is actually the only way of getting
the deposits of cleaning powders out
of the crevices. and for several weeks
rubbing is all that is necessary to
bring them up to the proper brilliancy
Once a month or once in six weeks
is the time limit for these silver boil
ings. for otherwise the maids grow
to depend upon their efficacy and neg
lect the weekly cleaning.

Pretty Luncheon Idea.

A pretty idea for the last course of
a luncheon is to let your guests toast
marshmalloWs. Purchase as many
small candles-such as are used for d
Christmas tree or birthday cake, the
color scheme of your luncneOn-as you
have guests. Fasten the candles TO
plates with some melted wax from the
candle and place two marshmallOws
and a pair of candy tongs like confec-
TONERS put in candy boxes on each
plate. Individual oyster bOrry forks
can be used in place of the tongs if
you cannot get the candy .tongs. 1t
makes laughter and fun, and breaks
the ice for the rest of the afternoon.

Method of Preserving Pineapples
Without Cooking.

This method of preserving pineapple
without cooking has long been in use
in the south, and it preserves the ma
vOr of the fruit better than the usual
way of preserving.
Pare sound ripe pineapples with
sharp knife, remove the eyes with a
silver knife, cut the fruit half an inch
thick and weigh it, weigh a fourth
more granulated sugar than fruit, use
glass jars large enough at the top to
admit the slices of pineapple. In the
bottom Of the jars put an inch OF
sugar. then alternate thick layers OF
pineapple and sugar until the jar is
filled, having plenty of sugar on top.
Seal the jars perfectly air tight; the
success of the preserving depends up
on this. The finest fruit is required.
Whole preserved pineapples We're the
pride of southern housekeepers. The
fruit carefully washed and the pine
apple boiled in sufficient warm water
TO cover il until tender enough to
pierce it with a broOmstraw. after the
pineapple is cooled carefully peel and
then weigh an equal quantity of su-
gar, put it in a deep kettle large
enough to contain the pines, cover
with a gill of water to each pound;
boil and skim until it becomes a clear
sirup. in this the pines are boiled ~
minutes, then cooled and put with the
sirup into glass jars, which must be
sealed air tight
