Once the Brahman hesitated

Prichard paced up and down the veranda, pulling at
his pipe in a thoughtful mood. 4" If could only get
that Vishnath scoundrel to the powerhouse!" he
murmured several times. We'll. l judge money
would tempt him
Presumably he at last saw his way clear to that
end; for when he knocked the ashes out of his pipe
and flung himself down on his chair it with rather
a grim smile that he closed his eyes in effort to
court sleep.
FAIRLY next morning Prichard's Size came with an
urgent request for Carleton Sahib to look in the

MAKING CANDY AT HOME
 FA NOT A DIFFICULT TASK
Elaborate Paraphernaa Unnecessary Ordinary Cooking Appliances Sufficient. Recipes and Processes are Simple

upon dollars of capital. The housewife continues to dabblc in the homemade kind, and only dreams of the confec- tioner's kind, when, as a matter of fact. 1t IS just as easy to successfully produce the latter as the former. It is only a matter of carefully following the same recipes the confectioner uses.
 Candy-making by confectioners. how ever, IS a profession, and their recipes like the doctors prescription. cannot always be read by the 1ayman. Before they can be used by the housewife in an ordinary kitchen they must be shorn of technical terms and recast in language that she will understand. The directions herein given are professional recipes al- tered to meet the requirements of the housewife. Ordinary cooking utensils only are necessary, and all expensive paraphernalia may be dispensed with The confectioner uses great kettles and labor-saving machinery because he manufactures in large quantities, not because they are essential to the pro. duction of good candy.

 tract in the same manner
 Cream Candies and Nut Combinations
 The simplest candy is chocolate cream,
 combination of fondant and chocolate. After favoring or coloring the fondant, roll into balls and dip into melted choco-
 late The fondant balls should stand
 an hour or so before being dipped. Leave them in the chocolate as short
 time as possible, and do not allow them
 to collect too much, or the chocolate
 will spread. After dipping, lay out on
 parafin paper to harden. Ordinary white writing paper, well greased with
 butter, will serve as well as parafin
 paper.
 The reader will be surprised to learn
 that about three hundred varieties of chocolate creams can be obtained by a simple combination of the two fondants given in the foregoing with some melted chocolate and few kinds of nuts. The unfavored white fondant dipped in chocolate gives one variety; the maple fondant another, and by using vanilla, lemon, pineapple, orange, wintergreen and peppermint extracts with the white fondant we get six more kinds. Each of the four colors may be used with each of the six havors, making twenty four kinds, and by pressing half an English walnut on top of the cream after it has
 been dipped in chocolate, another twenty-four varieties are obtained. If we roll the unhavored fondant around
 the following six nuts, we get six addi- tional varieties Walnut, English walnut, almonds, Brazil nuts, oceans and fil-
 berts. By combining the six favors and the maple fondant with the six nuts we

two or more equally simple compounds. The foundation of the cream candies IS a combina ation of sugar, water and cream of tartar, which the confectioners call 'fondant." This fondant forms the base of all the cream candies, and the com- binatiolS that can be made with 1t are surprising The ingredients, which should be mixed in the order given, are as follows:
 Granulated sugar, four cupfuls. Hot water, two cupfuls. Cream of tartar, one level teaspoonful
 Stir over slow fire until thoroughly dissolved, but do not allow it to boil. As soon as 1t Is dissolved, take damp cloth and wipe away any grains that appear around the sides of the pan. Then put the mixture over a quick fire and let 1t boil until 1t makes soft ball when tried in cold water Remove from the fire and set aside to cool, but do not pour it out of the pan in which 1t was cooked. It IS important that 1t should cool evenly, therefore do not try to hasten the cooling by putting the pan in cold water. AS soon as 1t Is cool-not cold--stir energetically with spoon un- til it becomes thick, creamy mass. When too stiff to stir, take 1t in the hands and knead. Its lightness depends upon the amount of kneading, and there is no danger of overdoing 1t. When quite light and creamy, put 1t into an earthen dish and cover with slightly dampened cloth. If the cloth is kept damp the fondant will keep for weeks, and it IS improved by age. It should be allowed to stand at least twenty four hours before being used.
 It sometimes happens, in spite of the greatest care, that the fondant comes out grainy after being stirred. Should

When it is impossible for one to buy in large quantities, owing, perhaps, to a small family, let several housekeepers club together, one woman who has business ability attending to the ordering or they can take turns in doing that part of the work if they choose. Of course, 1t is some trouble, but it pays well for the time spent

Soap is much better kept long time-the longer the better Butter, if put up in prints or small packages, can be wrapped in a clean wet cloth or wet butter paper, and put into jar of strong brine-as much salt in the water as 1t will dissolve-wherfft will keep in- definitely if care is taken to keep the butter always covered with the brine.

this occur, do not be discouraged; simply cover 1t with water and stir until 1t is thoroughly dissolved. Then put on the fire and cook again. The grains must be wiped from around the sides of the pan before 1t comes to a boil, and care should be taken not to jar the pan while 1t is cooking or cooling.
 The above directions are for white fondant, the kind used most by con- fectioners. This may be favored and colored in variety of ways by follow ing the directions given later. There is one other kind of fondant which goes well In the combinations to be made This is made from:
 Four cupfuls of brown sugar. Two cupfuls of maple syrup. Two cupfuls of hot water. One level teaspoonful of cream of tartar
 Cook this in the same manner as white fondant.

Coloring the Pendant

The colors for the white fondant are quite simple to make, and can be pro- duced at home as cheaply as they can be purchased at the confectioner's. Red IS made in this manner: Boil one ounce of cochineal in half pint of water for five minutes, then add one ounce of cream of tartar, one-half ounce of pow dered alum, and boil ten minutes longer. While 1t Is still hot add two ounces of sugar and bottle for use. Blue is made by rubbing indigo in little water on a plate, and yellow is made with gamboge Tn the same manner To make green, boil the leaves of spinach for a minute in little water, strain and bottle. To color the fondant, simply work in the desired color, little at a time, until

 W stand the mysterious art of csndy-making-to manufacture in her own kitchen, with ordinary cooking utensils, some of the many toothsome sweets displayed in the candy store? :? Like the conjurer's trick, ''it is easy when you know how it is done" There is really no mystery in the art of candy making, but confectioners usually keep their secrets; therefore, cook-books con tain only such candy recipes as are in- tended to be used for home production. When these recipes are followed the re- suit is always homemade looking candy, candy that anyone can tell was produced m an ordinary kitchen by an amateur. It does not even taste like the product of the professional candy kitchen" But, 1t is argued, it is pure, wholesome candy, both palatable and nutritious. So is the best store candy, and this is quite as easy to make as the ordinary homemade kind.

obtain forty-two varieties, and by using each of the four colors with each of the forty-two kinds of nut cream, one hun dred and sixty-eight additional varieties are obtained, making total of two hun dred and ninety-two different kinds of chocolate cream candy. If shredded cocoanut is worked into the unf1avored fondant and then rolled out and cut into small bars we have still another kind of candy Nut bars can be made Ill the same manner, and both cocoanut and nut bars may be covered with chocolate All the havors and all the colors can be used with the nut meats; thus we have many more different kinds of candy
 This is all there is to the mysterious art of candy-making, and with these secrets in her possession the housewife is in a position to compete with the con- fectioner, with this advantage in her favor-she is able to produce candy that not only looks good, but has the attrac- tion of being homemade.
