There are two distinct varieties OF

blespoon Of glucose, Il pound of al
monds, blanched, dried and chopped,
2 ounces of chopped pistachio nuts,
l teaspoonful of vanilla extract, gill

beaten whites and stir the two togeth-
er until 1t begins to get quite firm.
Boil sugar, water and glucose togeth-
er to $50 degrees if you like a soft
nougat, and 26S degrees II you like 1t
sitter. Add this to honey and eggs,
stirring quickly all the time. Add al
monds and pistachio nuts and vanilla.
Continue cooking till sugar breaks

Pour into prepared frame or dish

Why Dickens Wrote "christmas Care

Why Dickens Wrote "Christmas Carol"
/ noticed a statement in one of the
papers recently that Dickens wrote his
christmas Carol with the express OBJ
ject of reviving the popular interest in
the Christmas season and its festivi-
ties. This is a pleasing fiction which
had often been previously met with.
The fact is that Dickens wrote the
christmas Carol in the autumn of
1S43 because he was short of money
and in great need of $4,000. The most
candid chapter in Forsters Life" Is
the one lin the second volume) which
relates the tale of Dickens disappoint-
ment and despair when he received
the Carol accounts, for instead OF
the $4,000 he had set his heart and
soul upon," the sum due to him was
only $1,150. Dickens wrote: MY
years bills, unpaid, are SO terrific that
all the energy and determination /
can possibly exert will be required to
clear me before | go abroad" Dick
ems ultimately cleared $3.50 by the
Christmas Carol" on sale of $4,000
copies.-London Truth.
