Pulled Candy From "Fruit Juices Pulled candy made f from fruit juices gives a great deal of fun and is a de- liclous delicacy.

As the candy cools, fold the edges in so that they' will not become too hard and when cool enough to handle pull to a smooth even consistency. A long pull will lighten the color; in general about 15 to 20 minutes of pulling will be enough. Afterward 'the candy should be formed into round strips as long as is convenient and about one.half' inch through. After a 'thorough dusting with pow- dered sugar, the' candy may be cut into pieces that are convenient for the mouth. If not to be eaten Immed!- ately the small pleces. should be wrapped 'in waxed paper.

Wampum Exhibit Recalls Old Mint Newark Exposition Contains Examples of Bead Money Money Made for Use of Tribes on Plains Among the exhibits in the Indian exposition at the Newark Museum are specimens of wampum money made ina New Jersey factory that for four generations made Indian currency for use on the plains. The wampum mint of the Campbells at Pascack has long since fallen into ruln but for more than a hundred years it turned out the bead money of the Indian. Not until . | 1887 did {it close its doors, John Jacob Astor and other great fur traders of the early days were callers at the Campbell mint, where they purchased the mampum with which to buy the skins of beaver, bear and buffalo from the Indians of the north and west. Until the middle of the last century stores in the vicinity of Pascack accepted the wampum as currency for small accounts, knowing that the firm would always buy it back. It was made by the wives and daughters of farmers, under the Camp- bell's direction. The decline of wampum as Indian currency commenced in 1830 and prac- tically came to an end when the Gov- ernment gave the Black Hills, reserva- tion to the Indians. Virtually all the Campbell wampum went to the '| prairies of the Far West as the red men of nearer regions had become ac- customed to real money. The famous wampum mint of Pas- cack was founded by. John Campbell about 1775. From a private business endavor in his own house it grew to a plant of its own. For black wam- pum the Campblls used to obtain clam shells by a long rowboat journey to the Lopg Island Coast. On returning with a load they lald the clams under the trees and invited the neighbors to eat them, with the promise that the shells be saved. . When Washington Market was opened in New York City the Campbells 'contracted for all its empty clam shells. The conch shells from which the white wampum was made came as ballast from the West Indies to New York plers. Once Counterfeited. For four generations the Campbells carried on their wampum manufac. ture, Abraham Campbell, last of four brothers engaged in the trade, died in 1899. In Colonial times not only the Indian but the white settler recog- nized wampum as legal tender and on the statutes of several Eastern States it was admitted to be currency. So wid was {ts use at one time that 'coun- terfeit wampum made of stone came on the market. err lp rn Atchoo!
