DAINTY OF THE oLDEN TIME
Sugar and Butter Cooked Together to
Make Most Appetizlng Tlt-Blt
for the Table.

Whistles, a sweet which must have
been great dainty in the days when
It was first concocted, are made, &C
cording to an ancient recipe, in the
following manner:
Cream half pound of sugar and
quarter pound of butter and beat six
eggs, yolks and whites separately.
Add the eggs to the creamed sugar
and butter and then add enough flour
to make thick batter. In the old
days rosewater was considered a del
icate and delicious flavoring, but va
nilla might suit the modern palate
better; anyway add some flavoring.
Butter sheet of paper and spread
it on a molding or bread board. Drop
the batter with tablespoonful at in
tervals of three or four inches on the
paper, spreading each drop out thin.
Bake it in hot oven for about five
minutes, when it should be slightly
Drowned Then slip the little cakes
on a molding board sprinkled with
sugar and quickly roll them about a
stick. When they are cold fill them
with Jelly or jam.

TRAINED TO REAR CHILDREN
Branch Of Nursing Which Has to Do
With Care Of Infants Now a
Profession.

The branch Of nursing which has
to do with the care Of little children
was inaugurated as a profession in
England about twenty years ago, the
Norland institute in London having
the honor Of being the pioneer train
ing school Of the kind.
The Nursery college curriculum
includes, besides nursery manage
ment, domestic work, hygiene and
needlework. OF the one year re-
quired to complete the training at
the Norland institute, thirteen weeks
are spent in one Of the London chill
dren's hospitals, three months in
practical nursing, and the remaining
time at institutional work.
Children of from one month up to
nine years Of age are admitted at the
Norland institute. These children
are, for the most part, the children
of officers in the foreign service,
widows, colonials, trustees, guard
ians, people of the theatrical pro-
fession. The need of such an insti-
tute was the raison d'etre Of its
birth.
To those interested in nursery life
a visit to the Norland institute is in
spirational. Besides the college,
with its nurseries, its lecture hall, its
workroom, where the uniforms are
made and other interesting studies,
there is the Norland Seaside nurs-
cries at Bognor, where the children
under the charge of the institute
may go for rest and change.-Chris-
tan Herald.

MATRoN STARTLED GUEST

"Booth Harrington, now that he

The speaker, magazine editor,
chuckled and resumed: '1magine

a young matron, very pretty and
elegant young matron, say:
Harrington behaved so abomi-
nably at my luncheonl After the
oysters he suddenly took dislike to
the butler and the two serving maids.
He actually flew at them. He
wouldn't let them come near the
table. If they ventured to try, he
growled dreadfully.
"But there was a platter of cold
quail on the sideboard that hap
pened to catch Tanks eye. He seized
two of the birds and stalked sullen-
ly off with them to the drawing
room, where he ate them, seated on
the floor. He left the bones scat

so awful?"
Here the magazine editor laughed
again.

LUNATlcs RUN AMucK.

One person was killed and nine
others seriously injured by five terri
fed maniacs released by fremen
from an insane asylum in the out
skirts of Elvas, Portugal.
Altogether thirty-fve lunatics
were set free because of fire in the
asylum. They rushed bowling
through the streets for some time.
Thirty of them we're easily gathered
in the municipal building, but the
other five secured some iron bars
from a scrap heap, and attacked ev-
cry one they met. Several hours
passed before they were overpowered.
