CANDY MADE AT HOME
HOW TO PREPARE SWEETMEATS
FOR CHRISTMAS.
Box of Daintiess Sure to Make One of
the Most Appreciated YuIe-

" BOX of homemade candies is
~ welcome gift much appreciated
at Christmas. There is an art
in preparing such a box for ones
friends and the end gained is worth
the trouble.
Candy boxes of any desired size
can be purchased at a box factory,
or boxes covered with the art crepe
paper, sold at so reasonable prices
nowadays, make attractive recep-
tacles A bolt of crimson baby rib
bon, few sprigs of holly and sew
eral sheets of white tissue paper will
enable a dainty package to be sent
from ones home.
In packing the candies 1t is wise to
cut paraffin paper and stiff bristol
boards to fit the boxes in layers. A
sheet of paper, then the layer of
board will keep the softer candies,
such as chocolate cream, from crush
ing.
UncoOked candies are never palat-
able, and no amount of favoring will
mask a raw taste. On this account
take the trouble to prepare fondant,
which is the basis of all fine cream
candies. 1t is not at all difficult to
make if the instructions are correctly
carried out.
A week before Christmas prepare
the fondant, which can be placed in
jar cover with a damp cloth and
keep in a cool place until two days
before Christmas, when it should be
made up into the various CONNECTIONS.
This time will allow the chocolate,
used in dipping, to become firm.
Colorings for tinting can also be
purchased at the druggists, and al
ways state that they are to be used
to color food to insure getting the
vegetable coloring
Red will produce. any shade of
pink, rose or scarlet according to the
amount used. Violet will produce any
shade from pale lavender to deep blue
ristachio or spinach will give green;
egg yolk can be used for the yell
lows and few drops of strong COT

late will give the browns.

MOVIE TOWN AIDS HOUSING
Fake Belgian Village, at Little More
Cost, Provides for a Score of
Families.

Even the movies have their utili-
tartan uses, it seems. In some sections
of the country they seem in fair way
to help solve our housing problems. At
least they did so in a Westchester
town not long ago.
The scene-the movie scene, that is
was a Belgian village and with the
accustomed prOtligacy of the picture
producers the entire village must needs
be built. The intent and purpose of
the director was to build the houses of
board and papler-mache, and then de-
completed. Certain residents of the
town, however, were possessed with
foresight, says the New York Sun. The
township was suffering from building
restriction, and some one figured that
the movie men could build their viii
lage of slightly more substantial ma
teral at comparatively little in
creased cost. The proposition was put
to the, director, who agreed to let the
town supply him with materials and
labor on a proportionate basis.
AS result the town has added near
ly twenty new houses and twenty new
families have moved in, paying the
township only slightly more-than the
property was worth. The township
taxes the houses, the housing situation
is relieved, tho movie men have van
ished and everybody is happy.

Runaway Ship Captured.

tim to the treacherous quicksands that
infest the North Carolina coast from,
Hatteras to Cape Lookout, the crew
of the schooner James E. Newsom, con-
sisting of eight men, took to the life
boats when the vessel struck the.
beach.
The schooner, however, refused to.
let herself be swallowed up and got
off unassisted. The party in the life
boat, fearing to make an attempt to,
reach shore before daybreak, saw the
schooner get off the shoals and start
to sea. They set out after her, but
she was too fast. A coast guard cut
ter took part in the chase. After
playing hide and seek with her pur-
suers for whole day the Newsom was
captured. Only two sails were dam
aged. She was towed into Norfolk,

survivors of a widespread family or
race of trees which fourished back

of ice. But they all persisted in the
glacial age, except a few in the shell
tered canyon in the southern belt of
California. The Calaveras grove
In the north is the one whose story
has run most widely on the lips of
the world" John Muir estimated the
age of a certain sequoia In the Kings
River forest at 1000 years. This
tree had been burned down. These
monarchs of the woods should be care

Joke May Prove Serious.

Viscount Mayeda and Viscount Aokt
of Tokyo, Japan, both very prominent
members of the house of peers, were
considerably surprised, as were their
friends, when they received elaborate.
mourning cards announcing their
death The cards were gotten up in
the usual formal style employed on
such occasions, chief mourners, among
them Premier Hara, were named, and
everything was in regular shape ex-
cept for the fact that the persons
whose deaths were announced were en-
tirely ignorant of their decease.
The authorities in Japan do not
take jokes of this kind, however, and
after a searching investigation it was
found that the perpetrators of the
hoax were members of political or
ganization of radical young men. The
wish was father to the thought. Sew
eral of them have been arrested and
prosecution will proceed with all the
gravity in the world.
