Beat the yolks of three eggs very. light; add gradually one small Cupful of sugar, two tea- spoonfuls of flour, and the juice of two lemons. Melt one tablespoon- ful of butter in one and one-fourth cupi‘uls of boiling water; add the beaten egg mixture and boil until thick. ‘ Remove from the fire, cool, and whip in one cupful of whipped cream. Chop one large tart apple, peeled and cut into small pieces, with four sliced bananas and six thick slices of canned pineapple. Chill the fruit; mix it with the salad dressing and heap on lettuce leaves or serve in fancy fruit glasses. Chicken Scallopsâ€"One quart. of prepared creamed chicken, heated and made stiff by the addition of three tablespoonfuls of flour rubbed with as much melted butter; and half a cupful of stewed and season- ed mushrooms, drained, and two tablespoonfuls of minced celery. Butâ€" ter the scallop shells; sprinkle thick- ly with fine bread crumbs; fill with the stiff creamed chicken; cover with crumbs; dot with butter, and brown in a moderate oven. Almond Islandsâ€"Beat the whites of three eggs very stiff; add six tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, half a teaspoonful of almond extract, and half a cupful of chopped al- monds. Turn into a buttered pud- ding dish and steam twenty min- utes. Serve with boiled custard. Salted Pumpkin Seedsâ€"These salt- ed seeds, which are very popular among the Italians, are sold on the streets in the Italian quarter at a penny a .cupful. They are,extremely appetizing, and take the place of our salted nuts. Wash the seeds free from the' sticky shreds which surround them, then dry in the sun or in a rather cool oven. When ready to salt spread on a baking tin, salt liberally, then set in a hot oven, shaking and stirring often until crisp. . Pumpkin Chipsâ€"Take what quan- tity you choose of good sweet pumpâ€" kinâ€"the old Connecticut field pump- kin makes the nicest sweetmeatsâ€" halve it, take out the seeds, and cut into chips the size of a dollar. For each pound of the pumpkin allow a pound of fine white sugar and a gill Of lemon juice. Put the chips in a deep dish and sprinkle on each layer a_layer of the sugar. Turn the lem- on juice over the whole. Let it re~ main for a day, then boil the whole together with a half pint of water allowed to each three pounds of pumpkin, 3. tablespoonful of ground ginger tied up in bags, and the peel of the lemons cut in shreds. When the pumpkin becomes tender turn the whole into a stone jar and set away in a coolplace for a week.

Fondant.â€"â€"-Take two cups of sugar (one pound) and half a cup of water Place these in a smooth agate sauce- pan, over the fire; stir until sugar is dissolved and the syrup begins to boil. then remove Your paddle or spoon and be careful that you do not disturb the syrup again while boiling. AS the boiling syrup throws crystals of sugar up on the sides of the saucepan; carefully wipe them off with a soft cloth dipped in cold water. Cover the saucepan and let the syrup boil five minutes. At this point add a quarter of a tea- spoonful of cream of tartar dissolv- ed in cold water. Cook until you can form a soft ball between your thumb and fingers. When done pour the syrup out carefully, on an oiled meat platter or marble slab (do not oil it too close to the edge). When it wrinkles up when the platter or slab is tipped stir rapidly, one way, until you have a creamy white mass, then quickly knead with the hands into a ball, place in a bowl, cover and set away in a cool place until needed. It will keep several days. You can repeat this process until sufficient fondant has made, but will find it always bet- ter to boil a smart quantity at a time. p A box of fine cream candies from a good confectioner will give you ideas of many varieties which may be made by adding to the fondant color and various flavoring essences. Many cry and 0th varieties of which may now be ob- tained at small cost. Many, ever, prefer to keep their candy free from all such things, and dainty color and a variety of flavors may be obtained by the use of a small quantity of syrup from home pre- served fruit. The yolk of an egg for yellow chocolate and strong cofTee for brown, beet juice and cranberry juice for red and crimson, there is no end to the variety an ingenious worker can get out of the materials at hand in every household. Then a few nuts, dates, figs, raisins, a little peel, everything in fact that is good can be utilized. ’A very little practice will enable you to mold them satisfactorily. If the fondant gets a little dry and crumbly do not be worried, but knead it like bread or putty to a proper consti- tuency, a little flavoring added will make it soft, or, if too soft, a little confectioners’ sugar added will make it hard enough. Lay each cream when moulded on a piece of clean paper buttered or dusted with con- fectioners’ sugar; do not let them touch each other until dry. Don’t be disappointed if your candy has not the sharp moulded outlines of the factoryâ€"made creams for it will, instead, look like the expensive hand made creams turned out only by the best confectioners. HOUSEHOLD HINTS . Bedrooms are furnished very sim- ply nowadays. Carpets have been: banished in many houses, and nothâ€" ing is allowed in the way of hang- ings that may not easily be washed. The bedspread and bureau linens may be as elaborate as one chooses. Very handsome spreads are made of heavy linen sheets inset with heavy lace bands. Pillows are smaller and are usually kept by day in a box slipped under the bed. A round bolâ€" ster with‘ a cover to match the spread is substituted. Marseilles spreads are not in vogue at present, dim-ity and linen having taken their place to a large extent. Few peoâ€" ple use the gay colored chintr. spreads once so popular. People who are lucky enough to own them use oldâ€"fashioned pierced quilts, al- though strictly speaking, these are not appropriate except on old maho- gany beds. Order is a beautiful thing in" the house, but, as a writer in a recent magazine points out, it is not alâ€" ways understood properly. She says: “The order that makes for restfulness and for comfort is vital. it cannot exist in crowded rooms. Furniture is made to be used and books are made to be read. If the disarranging of a room. or the mis- placing of a book upsets the order something is wrong and that some- thing is the crowded condition. Get rid of the superfluous. Most rooms have too many pieces of furniture, and all rooms have too many things." If a double layer of broWn paper , is put under oilcloth on Shelves or tables, it will wear threeztimes as long as if laid directly on the wood.

Five minutes after the collision the magnificent ship and nearly 300 of her crew were out of sight beneath the waves.

In the bay outside the» town was a pretty strong Governâ€" rment squadron, which, however, inâ€" :stead of attempting to force a Way ,into Carthagena Harbor, sensibly waited outside for something to turn: up. And something did turn up, for ’one of the finest of the insurgent .warships, the ,Vitoria, was one mornâ€" l. . gang seen steaming serenely towards ,them, and while the Government ‘crews marvelled if this was to prove- ,a piece of heroic madness, down- lcame her colors with a jerk; she had: surrendered. The astonishing truth transpired later, that the Vitoria had only come out for an airing, but ‘so utterly inexperienced were her so- called engineers that, try as they might, they could not get the engines stopped in time.
