LIKE FLAVOR OF CHOCOLATE
Addition to Custard Makes Little Ex
ira Work, and the Children Are
Sure to Appreciate 1t.

1t is no more trouble to make a
chocolate custard than it is plain
one, and the chocolate is a change.
Children especially enjoy custard
made in this way. The proportions
are two cupfuls of milk, one ounce of
chocolate, two eggs, sugar to taste,
usually about three tablespoonfuls, a
pinch of salt and half teaspoonful
of any preferred flavoring.
Melt the chocolate in double boil
er. Pour the milk in and let it come
to a boil. Beat eggs, sugar and salt
together, and pour the boiling milk
over the mixture and strain into GUS
tard cups or one large dish as pre-
ferred Set in a pan of hot water and
bake in moderate oven.
l suppose you know how to tell
when the custard is done. If not,
then the test is knife put into the
middle of the custard. If the knife
comes out clean the dish is ready to
be taken from the oven, while If the
custard sticks to the knife 1t must be
left a little longer.-Exchange.

A Picturesque Town.
Uscub is made picturesque in that Il
is practically divided by the archins
stone bridge over the muddy, whirling
river. This river, it's current excep
tionally fast, is lined with rather pret,
ty, old, stone quays. OF course, at its
bridges there are police; in fact, po-
lice are everywhere and these carry
guns on their shoulders, as would the
soldiers at home. So, too. everywhere
there are Moslems, wearing fez or
turban, but otherwise clinging to the
European dress for the most part.
Nevertheless, the numbers who still
retain the red jacket. blue boomers
and heavy red belt, in addition to the
fez, are far from small.

here, at Uscub, was crowned the man
who was "czar Of the Serbs and
Greeks" 1t was at his death that the
great Serb empire fell and Uscub be-
came the booty of the Turks. They
changed its name to the present one,
and made 1t capital of a sandchak, or
district.
Uscub's decline thereafter is mark
ed by but one break of note, that in
the seventeenth century a colony of
Ragusans established itself here and
surrounded the city with splendid

Cleaning Coarse Furs.

Water will not harm the coarsei
furs, such as are used for carriage
robes. In fact, they may be scrubbed
with hot soapsuds, using pure white
soap, afterward using comb with
strong teeth through the fur.
Paint on fur can be removed by
using turpentine.
Small, dark furs can be cleaned by
sponging with alcohol. Hot cornmeal
rubbed into fur will help to restore
any lost luster.

A compressed sponge is a bit of

size of a twenty-five cent piece, and
half an inch in thickness. Dropped
into water it becomes saturated and
expands to the size of small face

Uscub was known as Dardania, origi-
