Store in a cool, dry place. Fondant—Take two cupfuls of su- | gar, one-half cupful of boiling water, one-fourth teaspoonful of cream of | tartar, or a tablespoonful of glucose or corn syrup to keep the sugar from graining. Boll to a soft ball stage and pour out on a buttered platter | using care that no grains of sugar are dropped in, as they will cause the | whole to grain. A good method to avold the forming of grains around the sides of the boiling kettle is to wash down the sides while boiling with a swab dipped in water, or if ex- pert the tips of the fingers may be used. Covering the dish for a few minutes often dissolves the grains.

Melt the butter; add the molasses, boll a few minutes, then add the su- ger, a cupful at a time so it will dis- solve readily; add the flavoring when just about ready tg.take off the heat. Boil until it mak hard ball in wa- ter. Pour into greased pans, cool and pull, Cut in small pieces with a pair of scissors and wrap in oiled paper. Rice Jack.—Take a cupful of sugar and a cupful of molasses, two table- spoonfuls of water and cook; when nearly brittle, add a tablespoonful of | butter and a pinch of soda; stir in three cupfuls of puffed rice.

New Lace-Making Machine, Consul Hitch at Nottingham, Eng- land, reports an invention by a resi- dent of that city which, it is claimed, will revolutionize the present meth- ods of making Imitation real laces. The inventor states that by means of his invention, which fs an attach- ment to an ordinary Levers lace ma- chine, he can produce the lace the entire width of the machine, either in breadths from one Inch upward or the full width of the machine for allover nets. Thus, a machine 100 inches wide could be made to pro- duce 100 breadths of one inch, or fifty of two inch, and so on.

The capture off the coast of Brit- ish Columbia of a remarkable hump- back whale with two hind limbs be- came known recently, when the bones History, New York. Scientists at- tached to the museum thumbed their tomes on evolution, cudgeled their brains and concluded the legs might have been a singular reversion to primitive type. Back in prehistoric ages, they said, the multigreat granddads of modern whales might have strutted about on land. But, so far as they knew, no other whale with bones outside the body had ever been seén by man. There was no earthly or waterly reason for the rear legs on the whale found off the British Columbia coast. It couldn’t walk on them, as they were only four feet long, while the whale weighed several tons. It couldn’t use them for swimming, as they were not flappers nor were the pedal were simply excess baggage. But now they are the subject of lectures, lantern slides and profound discus- sion HAD THE TEACHER TICKETED Youngsters Liked Her, but She Chewed Gum, and So She Was Given a Designation.

MAN-MADE DIAMONDS FAIL. The latest effort of scientists to manufacture genuine diamonds has failed, according to an ‘announce- ment recently by William I. Rosen- field, vice president of the American Jewelers’ Protective association and director of the Jewelers’ Vigilance committee. The committee, he said, has made an exhaustive investiga- tion of the reported discoyery of a diamond-making formula by a Ger- man, and is convinced that the formula will not produce gems equal to nature’s product. Report of the “discovery” several weeks ago, Mr. Rosenfield said, startled the jewelry and precious stone trade throughout the world. PARLOR OUT OF FASHION. One of the large man companies of the United States is engaged in the construction of a great number of houses for its em- ployees, and while there are many novel features in the way of making conveniences, the most striking thing about the homes is the total absence of the usual parlor.
