HOLIDAY CAKES. Thcso Httlo cakes will please the children and they make a nico addi tion to tho box of Christmas sweets when sent to a friend. Spice Nuts. Takq a cupful of granulated sugar, one cupful of Hour, two tablespoonfuls of butter, ono tableBpoonful of baklnfi powder, two eggs, a fourth of a cup ful of citron, one fourth of a cupful of almonds, one tcaspoonful of cinna mon and a half tcaspoonful of allspice and cloves. Cut tho nuts and citron very flno. Sift tho flour with the bak ing powder and mix with tho fruit and nuts. Beat the batter, sugar and eggs until light and creamy, then grad ually add tho Hour mixture The dough should be stiff enough to roll into balls the size of a hickory nut. If too Btlff add a little water or milk; if too soft add more flour. Place on but tered tins an inch apart and bake until a light brown. They may bo dipped In fondant If desired to make them more attractive. Orange Cakes. Cream together a half cupful of butter and a cupful of sugar, add the yolks of flvo eggs beat en thick, one-half a cupful of milk, and ono and three-quarter cupfuls of Hour, sifted, with two tablespoonfuls of bak ing powder and a teaspoonful of or anges extract. Roll out, cut in fancy shapes, then decorate with yellow fon dant and grated candled orange peel over the tops. Almond Cakes. To a cupful of sugar add a half cupful of butter, when woll mixed add a fourth of a cupful of cream, two cupfuls of Hour and a tcaspoonful of baking powder. If sour cream Is used add an eighth Df a teaspoonful of soda. Beat four eggs, mix well and add a teaspoonful Df almond extract, roll out on a well floured board to a fourth of an inch In thickness, cover with powdered 3ugar, then with maplo fondant; while warm sprinkle the cakes with chopped almonds. Any simple frozen Ice is always ac jeptahlo for dessert and may be made elaborate served with a sauce. CHRISTMAS SWEETS. Children, like grown-ups, like to mako candy and like to present It as work of tholr own hands. (or ' mess AfWjl up" the kitchen and use think absolutely neces sary, besides wasting good material, but count it all up they get keen enjoyment out of it and why not let them havo free swing once in a while? The following is tho simplest of candy and looks 'full as well as tho more elaborato French candy which the older ones will mako. Uncooked Fondant. Beat tho white af an egg and add to It a tablespoon ful of cream. Roll and sift a pound of powdered sugar nnd stir Into tho egg mixture, making n Btaff cake. Di vide tho cake in pieces, flavor ono with peppermint, one with wintor greon and tint it pink with a little fruit colorings. Add chopped nuts to Bomo and dried or preserved fruit to others until thero is a variety of kinds. Each child might mako ono kind, so that half a dozen rosy youngsters around tho kitchen tablo could bo having the "tlmo of their young lives." For a candy loaf takp a pleco of white fondant, press it into n small biscuit tin that has been well greased; on top of this layer press a pink one, then a layer of yellow and lastly a layer that has been flavored with chocolate. When ready to unmold turn out and cut in thin slices, wrap each in waxed paper and here is a candy that Is almost Hko nougat. Tho whole loaf may be covered with molt ed chocolate after it Is unmolded and when that Is dry cut In strips. Plum Pudding Bars. Chop very flno two tablespoonfuls each a chopped candled orango peel, cur- ranta, sultana raisins and dates. Beat tho white of an egg and mix all to gether, add a tahlcspoonful of cream nnd confectioners' sugar to mako a stiff paste. Mold in a loaf and brush over with melted chocolate. When cold roll over and cover tho bottom. This Is cut In bars with a shurp knife. GENERAL INFORMATION Exports in tho employ of the gov ernment of Brazil bellovo that country can utilizo Its own coal by using gas producers 'n connection with station ary engines and brlquettlng It for locomotives. Increated safety Is a potent argu ment In favor of tho uso of liquid air for blasting In Gorman mines as It ?ocn evaporates If tho charge misses fire and thero Is no danger of a de .ayed explosion. m CHRISTMAS CANDIES. Tho foundation of all French can dles Is "fondant." This may bo mndo and kept for wooks If covered with n damp cloth. Tho following rulo will bo found easy to mako even by tho Inexperienced. A bright clear day Is best for boiling sir ups as dampness affects the consis tency. Fondant. Add a .quarter of a tea spoonful of cream of tartar to two pounds of granulated sugar and ono pint of water. Stir until dissolved, then as it bolls wash down tho sides of tho kettlo to frco It from grains of sugar which will causo tho fondant to grain when it Is poured out. Boll un til It forms a soft ball in ice water or better yet when it registers 238 degrees on tho candy thermometer. Pour out into a largo buttered platter or on a cold marblo slab, working It with a wooden paddlo as soon as It bo gins to cool around tho edges. When It is white and creamy and beginning to set, pack it in a bowl and - cover with a damp cloth to ripen. Tho next day it will bo ready to use. Bonbons. Mix small portions of fondant with chopped fruits such as figs, dates, raisins or preserved fruits, then dip them in flavored fondant which may bo delicately tinted with any desired color, put on greased pa per to drain and harden. For choco late drops, mako tho balls of fondnnt nnd put them out to froeze, thon dip In melted chocolate and put on waxed paper to harden. Raspberry Bonbons. Tnko a cupful of fondant, mix it with four table spoonfuls of raspberry Jam, the seeds may bo removed If desired. Uso con fectioner's sugar to assist In tho mold ing nnd handlo as soft as possible. Put out to chill. Melt ovor hot water in a double boiler a half cupful of fondant, flavor with raspberry and tint rose color. Drop In tho balls ono at a time using two forks or two hat pins or a wire with a loop end to tako out the coated halls. Drain nnd har den on waxed paper or a buttered baking sheet. CHRISTMAS DESSERTS. For the Christmas dessert wo look for something n Httlo out of the or ltnnry, something a lit tie unusual. As Christ mas comes but once a year we like to mnke tho meal especially nice. In many homes where there aro children to be thought about at tho Christmas table, tho rich puddings and mlnco pies that tho older ones enjoy should not bo given to them. So often a simplor dessert which thoy may cat without dis tresslng; the department of the in torior will bo found convenient. The following pudding is r'ch enough for tho occasion, taking tlto plnce of the plum pudding: , Fig Pudding. To a half pound of chopped figs add two cupfuls of grated stale bread, ono cupful of brown sugar, ono cupful of finely chopped beof suet, ono cupful of sweet milk, ono tcaspoonful of salt, ono quarter of a teaspoonful of cloves, a teaspoonful of cinnamon, ono ten spoonful of baking powder, all sifted into tho mixture; then add two eggs, beaten light and thick; pour into a buttered mold two-thirds full, covor and steam three hours. If cooked in individual molds, three-quarters of an hour Is sufficient to cook them. Servo with hard sauco daintily heaped around the pudding. A wreatjx c-f holly on tho edge of tho plnttif makes this a truly festlvo dish. Cranberry Snowballs. Sift together two cupfuls of flour, a pinch of snlt, and threo teaspoonfuls of "baking powder; udd sufllcient sweet milk to mako a soft batter, ono cupful of sugar, ono and a half cupfuls of cran berries, rolled In Hour, and two well beaten eggs. Pour tho mixture into buttered pudding cups and steam for two hours. Servo with hard sauco and spoonfuls of cranberry Jelly. Wild Rose Cakes. Thcso aro made just as the almond cakes with the ex ception of rose extract Instead of al mond and tho cakes aro covered with rose-colored fondant or a Bmnll roso mudo of pink fondant with yellow edi tor Is placed on each cake after cover ing it with white fondunt. Thcso cakes aro cut with a cooky cutter or In any desired shape. A Gorman method for removing stumps is simpler and less dangerous than our way. Thoy boro a holo in the stump and pour Into It equal parts of nitric and sulphuric acids. After a few weeks, tho largest stumps of hard wood aro eaten by tho acid and easily crumbled with a pick. More than 1,000 tons of potash are wasted dnlly In distilleries In th United Stutes In fermenting molasses and a Now Orleans company will en deavor to obtain a fertilizer from Ha waste product. CANADA 5 WONDERFUL YIELD Wheat Yields Reports Extraor dinarily Heavy. When ono hears of Individual wheat ylolds of thlrty-llvo to forty bushols per ncro, thero Is considerable Incro dullty, but when yields, in wholo town ships extending into districts covering threo and four nnd flvo hundred squnro miles in area, of upwards of fifty and somo as high as slxty-ilvo bushels per aero are report d, ono is led to put his ear to tho ground to listen for fur ther rumblings. Tho writer having heard of thcso wonderful yields mndo a trip through tho provinces of Mani toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, to ascertain first hand tholr truthfulness. It was remarkablo to dlscovor that Dame Rumor was no rumorer after nil, that modesty was her mantle, thnt all that had been said of thcso ylolds was truo, and that ylolds of ovor sev enty bushols per ncro woro told of. Those woro so high thnt tho truthful ness of tho story was doubtful and very Httlo was said of them. Uut such thoro woro, and not In ono In Btnnco, but In several, not In ono lo cality hut scattered in places hun dreds of mllos apart. Leaving thcso out altogether, thero wcro largo aroas In which tho avorago was over fifty bushola per aero, which In all com mon sonso ought to satisfy most peo ple Ono hundred and thirty thresh ors In Alberta havo mndo tholr ro turns to tho local government ns ro quired by an act of tho Legislature, nnd tho avorago of tho wheat threshed was Hfty-thrco bushels to tho aero. So immonso was tho yield that olllclal verification was required boforo giving It out to tho public. Sitting In tho smoking compartment of a day coach, whore on passing through a farming community, there mny bo gathered tho gossipy yarns of tho neighborhood, ono hears also n lot of nqwB. Just now, tho solo topic is that of tho crops. A man with moro or less of a hirsuto nppondngo, Bmock, clothos and hands giving tho appcaranco of ono working In tho Hold, was asked as to tho crops. lie had got on at Warner, Alberta. Taking out his plpo, lighting it and then crossing his knees, holding his chin in his hands, pos sessing an air of supremo content ment, and with an intelligent faco, ho looked tho man who could givo somo Information. And ho was Just tho man. Ho was a thresher and on his way to Milk River to securo somo moro help. Ho was requisitioned for Information. "Yes, a good season. I'vo mado a lot of money. As for ylolds, let's see," and then ho began to string them off. "Peterson had C3 bushels of wheat per aero on his flvo hundred aero farm; from 380 ncros Roland got 65 bushols per acre; Bu gler had ono hundred and ten acres that went 63 bushols; Carr had 65 bushols per aero off an eight hundrod aero Hold.1' And ho gave others run ning from G8 to 66 bushels per aero. All thcso peoplo lived cast of War nor, Alberta. Looking out of tho win dow and seeing lmmenso Helds, still covered with stocks ho was askod why thoy woro not threshed, ho re plied that thoro were not enough "rigs" in tho district, and that thoy would not get through beforo Christ mas. An American writing of a trip ho mado through Western Canada says: "I went ns far west as Saskatoon, back to Regtna, Mooso Jaw, and down on tho Soo line, and I must say that I never saw such crops, or over heard of anything to compare with it in any country on earth. Tho country Is ovor tho hill, and certainly tho farm ers havo a lot to bo thankful for. Thero aro very few of them that havo done tholr work and done It properly but what havo tholr dobtB paid and havo bank accounts loft." And ho only traveled tho skirt of tho country. Tho samo story could bo written of any part of any of throe Provinces. Advertisement. Feminine Signs. "How did you know that girl was Bclontlflc In her tastes?" "Know It by her wlrolcss collar."
