Sea foam is one of the cheapest yet
most delicious candies of the roster.-
It is sometimes
made with the ad
dition of whites of
eggs, and ., again
without. Try both
ways. For the
first add to three
c u p f u 1 8 light
brown sugar one cupful boiling water
and place over the fire. Stir only until
the sugar is dissolved, then cook with
out stirring until a little dropped
from the tip of a spoou spins a thread.
Take from the fire, and when the mix
ture stops boiling add to it gradually
the stiffly whipped whites of two eggs.
Continue to heat with a wire' whip un
til the mass is soft and creamy, yet of
a consistency to stand alone, without
spreading.. Flavor with vanilla when
half beaten. When done, drop In paps
on waxed paper. If preferred, a cupful
of nut meats coarsely chipped can be
added just before dropping oii the
paper.- The surface of this sea foam
is also made in this wise: Boll together
until the sirup spins a thread one
pound dark brown sugar and a Cupful
cold water. Take from the fire, add a
half teaspoonful vanilla, and beat un
til soft and creamy. Drop in irregular
pats on waxed paper.
Gingerbread Nuts. Put one pound
f brown sugar, one pound of honey
and the grated rind of half a lemon
into a saucepan and simmer them well
together; all one-fourth pound of but
ter, one ounce of sugar, and, lastly,
two pounds of flour. Roll out thin, cut
into rounds, and bake about 20 min
utes in a slow oven.
Delicious Butterscotch; Two cup-
fuls granulated sugar, half cup water,
half cup vinegar, one pound butter
Stir constantly while cooking, and
cook until it forms a hard ball in cold
water. Pour in greased tins, and when
nearly cold mark in squares.
Chocolate Caramels. Boil slowly to
gether one pound of brown- sugar, one-
nau cupiui or. grated chocolate, one
half of a cupful of cream and one
tablespoonful of butter until it is like
very thick molasses. Take from the
nre; add one teasnoonful of vanilla
and pour into straight sided buttered
pans, marking in squares when partly
cold. ,

Medical Practitioner Ranks High In
; Scale of Humanity.
To- know a medical practitioner is
to know 6ne who is superior to the
average educated man. Few profes
sions, perVaps no other, develop so
much of character. The occupation of
healing and the necessity of . behold
ing men and women and children at
their worst, irritable, unreasoning, and
often cowardly, has not, fortunately,
caused bis own degeneration. His ca
pacity for thoughtf ulncss is trained to
keenness, hi3 selfishness, where there
is any, is shrewdly hidden, and the
human instinct for enjoyment is- none
the less in him because of his knowl
edge of its reactions.
That the doctor's expectation of life
Is short is the natural result of his
following a calling that makes unnat
ural demands. Only the,; more - fortu
nate specialists have time that they
can call their own. The doctor's work
is always exacting, often discouraging,
and invariably draws without mercy
on his nervous .energy. Binghamton

well in cold water; then pour the
water boiling, stirring all the while
to make it light; pour a little coal oil
into it while hot; when ready to use

ordinary way. Clothes which have
been in this starch can be ironed with

When made according, to this- direc
