A BOND OF SWEETNESS.
The Romance of Some Home.Made Cnndy ,
Uy ANTONIA J. STEMPLE.
"I'm awful sorry for Mian Sanders , " remarked - i
marked Mrs. Abljah Smith , "even If she 1 * |
prouder than sin. I s'poso she can't help I
that , though. All the Sandema wns that' '
way. Poverty nna prldo ain't good bed
fellows , however. "
"That's trua M the gospel , " returned Mrs.
\ Vhltowith whom Mrs. Smith was upend
ing the afternoon. "Husband waa onjlng
only yesterday that Mies Benders must find
It pretty hard hoolng. Uut she's got so
much prldo that tthc'd die bcforo she'd have
nnybody suspect she needed help. It's too
bad sho's that way. Folks would be glad
to help her If sho'd let them. "
"Oood land I iDon't attempt to glvo her
anything ! " cried Mr * . Smith , In alarm , "or
eho'll treat you llko shc > did me. "
"How was that ? "
"Well , the other dny I happened to run In
while she wan oatlng her dinner. She was
awful upset , but I maila out 1 didn't notice
anything , though It < lld make me feel bad
when I see she hadn't nothing on the table
but tea and a few crackers. A couple of
rlain later I run over again with a custard
plo I just made and I says to her. says I :
Miss Sanders , I just finished baking and I
brought over one of my custard plea for
you to try. Miss Lowe gave mo a new re
ceipt , ' She Wok It aa nlco as you please ,
though I was dreadful afraid she wouldn't '
And I was tickled to pieces , but I didn't let
en. That was on Thursday , an lo and foe-
liold , my name ain't "Almlry " Smith , if Miss
Benders didn't como over on Saturday with
the clcgantest raised cake you ever snvr.
The poor dear just made mo take It , though
ebo must have starved a week to make up
for It "
Addle White , who had been studying her
lessons for the next day , overheard this
conversation and It made a deep Impression
upon her. "Poor Miss Sanders , " she
elghed , pityingly. "I wish I could hefp
lier. "
A few days Inter Addle paid Miss Sanders
a visit. "Next Friday I shall bo 12 years
old , and I'm going to have a birthday party
after school , " she told her eagerly , "and
I thought It would bo just fine It you would
make us some of your elegant cream cnndy.
We'll need a lot of It , you know. There's
going to ho about a dozen to the party , and
your candy Is so good that everybody will
want all they can get. Will you make me
some ? "
MUa Sanders hesitated and flushed. Addle
was shrewd enough to guess that she was
thinking of the expense compliance with the
request Involved. "Please say you will , "
Bho urged. "Mother says you can como over
to our house in the morning and make the
candy , while she la doing her baking. Our
kitchen la lots bigger thnn yours , and every
thing la handy , and there'll be only ono mess
to clean up. "
Bliss Sanders looked at her rather sus
piciously. "Did your mother plani all thatt"
she osltcd solemnly.
"No'm , J thought of it myself , " returned
Addle. 'IMother didn't want mo to ask
you at first , because she said It would be too
much work for you. "
"Oh , no ! I llko It , " answered Miss
Banders , all her suspicions vanishing. "I'll
como over then , Friday morning , and make
you all the eandy you want. "
.
Sanders k pt her word , and the de
lectable iweetmeata disappeared down the
throats of the Goshen young people with re
markable rapidity. Miss King. Addle's
teacher , complimented Miss Sanders on her
skill in candy making and showed that she
meant what she said toy eating a generous
quantity , much to the old lady's dollght.
Miss Lswla , the postmistress , whom Rob
Drown Irreverently called "the old curiosity
Bhop , " etared wonderlngly when Addle
brought a little box addressed to Mr. Albert
Evans , Springfield , Maes. , to the postofflco
next day and mailed it. She would have
been etlll moro astonished had she seen the
contents of a letter which Addle sent to the
came address , which read thus :
"Deer Uncle There's the loveliest old lady
lives hero , but she's no poor as poor can bo
nnd ahe's Just as proud as she's poor , be-
f OUIBO har folks wore rich once , but they're
oil dead and she's the only ono of the family
that's left , and eho's got no money , and
there ain't anything she can do. She makes
the finest cream candy you over ate , nnd
I'm oendlng some she made for my birthday
party , for you to try and see If you don't
think so , too. I've been thinking that
Bprlngfleld folks must eat lots of candy , and
why can't they oat Mlsa Sanders' as well as
nnybody else's ? If I have her make some
nnd send It to you , will you put It In your
etoro to ell7 Please do , uncle , for she's
awful poor , and I feel so sorry for her. Don't
tell anybody about this ; It must bo a secret
between you and me. Write and toll me
how many pounds you want to begin with
nnd how much you will pay for It. Your
loving niece. ADDIE. "
"Bless her dear heart ! " exclaimed the
head of the great firm of Evans & Co. when
lie had finished reading this eplstlo. "That
girl Is always thinking of eome scheme to
help other people. She certainly has a great
head for bunlness , too. "
Mlsa Sanders waa mending a rent In nn ,
npron ono pleasant afternoon when Adflle
put in an appearance , her face wreathed In
eintles.
"Oh , Ml 8 Sanders , eomothlng nice has
happened to you ! " she exclaimed , coming at
once to the point.
"To mo ! " echoed Miss Sandern In nmaze-
tnont. "Why , nothing vary pleasant ever
comes my wny. "
"Well , you Just llston and see , " returned
'Addlo ' gaily , drawing a letter from her
pocket. "It's all because of that candy you
made for my party. You know I've got a&
undo in Springfield ? He's Just lovely and
of course I had to send him some of my
birthday candy. This Irtter li from him.
Ho wonts to know whether 'the person who
tnado that delicious , old-fashioned cream
candy' that's Just exactly what ho said , "
Interpolated Addle , looking up from the letter
and nodding her head emphatically as she
saw her listener's eyes open very wide In
astonishment " 'would be willing to give
him the .io ! of It. ' He says he IH sure that
ho can sell n great deal , because there are
many people who will pay a good price for
pure , homo-made candy. He'd like twenty-
flvo pounds to start on , to see If it takes as
veil as ho expects , and he'll pay 30 cents a
pound for It , and ho sent the money tor It.

There now ! " concluded Addle , triumph
antly , "ain't that nlco ? "
Miss Sanders gasped. The tears came t < >
her eyes , but her heart bounded with thank. ,
fulness. "Mercy on me ! I never heard of
such a thing ! " she Incredulously exclaimed.
"Don't folks In the city know how to make
cream cnndy ? "
"I s'pose they do , " answered Addle , "but
not as good as yours. Nobody can make It
i like you , no matter how hard they try.
i Hvcrybody says so. You'll make the candy
j for uncle , won't you ? "
I "Why , yes , especially as he's paid for It
I already , at a good price , too , " returned
Miss Sanders. "Hut does your mother know
anything about this ? " she asked abruptly ,
a faint color coming into her pale cheeks.
"Why , no ! She was over to Miss Smith's
when father 'brought ' mo the letter , nnd I
I ran right over here the minute I read It , "
answered Addle , a trifle uncas-lly. She was
afraid her secret would be guessed. The
, old lady looked much relieved at her
reply. "I thought perhaps It was your
mother's doings , and I couldn't be be
holden , " she eald apologetically. "I'll eUrt
on the candy the first thing In the morn
ing. "
"And I'll come In and help you after
school , I want to eeo how you'll get along. "
"Thank you , dearie. I hope I'll have
weekly shipments , nd the demand to atlll t
growing. '
As the dread of the poor house passed I
away Miss Sanders became her old cheeri i
ful self , and even treated the Inquisitive
Mre. Marsh with the utmost cordiality , while
Addle Is allowed to have all the candy she ,
wants at nny time , and she and Miss Sand- |
era are the very l > eet of friends. J
"I dobollovo you had moro to do with
your Uncle Albert ordering th < candy than
you ever told mo of , " said Miss Sanders
to Addle one day. "Now , didn't you ? "
And Addle blusned tnd began to talk
about something else.

A new method of growing cacti has been
discovered In the botanical gardens of
Berlin. It Is so simple nnd easy that no one
need bo without nt least one flno cactus In
the Hitting room or parlor. All that Is re
quired Is a shapely bottle , a littlerlrh car

which crcme dc menthe or some of the other I

this purpose on account of the clearness of

Having secured the bottle , cleanse It thor
oughly nnd then put earth In It until the
bottom Is covered to a height of about nn
Inch. Sprinkle this earth well , almost soak

cactus seeds. Close the bottle snugly with i
tight-fitting cork and scat It close with scal

of the bottle nnd hang It In a window that

every day. In cold weather the bottle must

Deacon Brown'Beyes ohnoet * 11 out of
his head at Miss Sander * ' orders for sugar
and other articles. In view of her meager
purchases heretofore , ho had an idea that
she was "daft , " a suspicion which her
flushed cheeks and excited manner did not
allay.
'It's a good thing I got a plenty of con
fectioner's sugar only last week , " he re
marked with pride. "You've about cleaned
mo out as 'tis. I dent generally got so
much at one time , but It's lortunlt I did.
Beat grade there Is , too ! "
Early next morning Mlas Sanders went
to work on tie candy. She watched her
kettles anxiously , 'but ' luck favored her.
Everything turned out Just s it should ,
though all her pota and pan * were pressed
into service. While- she was In the midst
of her work Mrs. Marsh , the village gossip ,
put In an appearance.
"My land , but don't It smell good inhere
hero ! " she exclaimed , sniffing audibly.
"Why , you ain't making candy , ar you ? "
she asked , with the most intense curiosity.
"Y a , I am , " returned Hiss Sanders.
"Do tell ! What la It all for ? "
"To eat. "
Mre. Marsh , though taken back by these
curt answers , did not despair of getting
moro information , and continued to dliplay
the most lively curloolty. Finally , flndlnc
that all her efforts nt "pumping" were in
vain , she went oft in high dudgeon.
Addle , when she called after school , found
Miss Sanders flushed but happy over her
"beautiful luck. " Of cour e Addle tasted
the candy , and pronounced it the best she
had over eaten. Then she sot to work , under
Miss Sanders' direction , and the candy was
daintily wrapped , weighed and packed.
Nailing up the box was the hardest part of
the work. Addle pounded the nails with the
hammer , while Miss Sanders hold them In
position. Addle hit her thumbs several
times , and Miss Sanders' fingers bad moro
than one narrow escape , buU the task was
nally accomplished.
Miss Sandoru was very happy orer the
esult of her day's work. She had labored
Ike a Trojan and she was thoroughly tired
ut.
"I'll Just be on needles and pins till I find
jut how the candy suits , and If your uncle
will want ony more , " ehe remarked , anx-
ously. But even Addle did not suspect how
iagerly the old lady prayed that Springfield
'olka would find her candy to their liking
and she would bo kept buey supplying the
demand. Few Qoshen people had any Idea
low far along on the road to the poorhouse
Miss Sanders really was.
After jhe cooking utensils had been washed
and tbo kitchen tidied Addle went homo
with a light heart and wrote her uncle a
letter which that gentleman cherished as a
: reasure ,
"Another letter from Uncle Albert ! " an-
rounced Addle , rushing In upon Mlsa Sand
ers about two week * later. "Good news
In It , too ! "
"Your face tolls that , " onswered the old
woman , beaming. "But what does he say ? "
"Ho eays the candy sold twice as fast as
ho expected , and he wants you to make 100
pounds this time , and send It as soon as
you can ! " was the gleeful reply.
"I and of mercy ! " ejaculated Miss Sand
ers , who had been listening with breathless
eagerness.
"And he's going to tend you a barrel of
augar and a caao of flavoring extracts , at
the wholcealo rate , " continued Addle , "and
he'll take the price off -what he'll owe you.
He aae that will bo cheaper and better
than buying In email lots , for he expects to
have a demand for the candy right long. "
"Did you ever ! " again exclaimed Mlsa
Sanders. "Thirty dollars worth ! What
great candy caters those city folks must
bol"
bol"Mln
Mln Sanders was more than 'busy ' after
that. She hired little Amy Jones to assist
her , and Mr. Dodge , who had uome business
In the city , ibought her nom appropriate

Albert Judiciously advertUcd as "Cupid

United State * Colnn Mint Are
Houffht After.
The demand for 1-cont plecea Is so great
that the Philadelphia mint is compelled to
turn our nearly 4,000,000 per month to ke-ep
up the supply ,
There are at present something like 1,000-
009,000 pcnnlra In circulation.
If you want to exchange a $100 bill for
pennies you would got ten good , large bag *
full of coppers.
Nickel and copper coins have no mint
marks , neither have coins issued at the
Philadelphia mint. Collectors often pay high
prices for coins bearing certain mint marks
which otherwise would not have been worth
more than their face value.
The first United States cents struck for
circulation bear the date 1793. They are or
six varieties and are valued at J2.50 to $0.25 ,
Of United States silver cofns the most
valuable la the dollar of 1804. Its value to
collectors U $1,000. No other dollars are
worth more than about $ .25. Fourteen or
these 180 { dollars are known to exist.
More rare are the New York doubloons ,
coined in 17S7 , of which only live are known
to exist. On one eldo of this rare and curi
ous coin Is a picture of the sun rising over
a mountain surrounded hy the legend ,
"Nova Ebornci Columbia Excelsior. " Be
low IB the name of the designer , "Brasher.1
The other side has the original form of the
national motto , "Unum 13 Plurlbus. " There
Is an heraldic eagle , on one wing of which
are the letters B. B. , tbo designer's Initials
These colne ar worth about $500. The last
one sold brought $527. It had 'belonged ' to
an old Maryland family ever since It waa
coined.
. The ) E > gold piece of 1622 Is a rare coin
At ono time only two were said to be In
existence ; one In the Philadelphia mint , th
other In Boston , but a third was picked up
In a New York money changer's shop a f \
ycara ago ,
"I vut afraid at fire ; that it might be
sountcrfolt , " said 4ho collector of coins who
happened to spy it , The man wna so de
lighted to secure Itthat bc.toro leaving the
shop he bought several other coins which
] bo didn't want. He paid only $6 $ for It. The
, same day he was ottered $250 ; later $450 $ was
offered by another gentleman , (600 ( by an
other one , but the gentleman , at last ac
counts , was holding It for $1,000. $
Ono of the moot sought alter coloulal coins
Isthe Highly copper. They were struck In
17.17 by Samuel Highly , who was a physician
and n blacksmith at Grnnby , Conn. Ho got
the copper from a mine near by and shaped
the coins nt his forge.
About nine jcars ago a silver shekel was
found In Texas which dates back to 142 B. C.
Its intrinsic value Is about EO cents ; Its value
to collectors JoCOO.
Ono of the earliest known coins Is n
dldrachm of ancient Aeglna , coined about
: ' . B. C. Its Intrinsic vnluo Is 30 cents ; Its
nkfket value $7.
The coins spoken of In the bible are
shekels , which were of silver ; the widow's
mite , the tribute penny and the "Judea
captn , " the bronze coin struck by the
Emperor Titus to commemorate the destruc-
tlon of Jerusalem and the dispersion of the
Jews ,
In Japan coins arc generally of Iron , and
In Slam they arc chiefly of porcelain.
Whale's teeth form the coinage of the FIJI
Islands. They nro painted white and red ,
the red teeth being worth about twenty times
as much AS the white. These teeth are worn
as a necklace Instcnd of carried In a pocketbook -
book ,
The entire collection of coins and medals
In the British museum consists of 250,000
pecimens , and Is ono of the finest collec-
lena in the world. At the Philadelphia
mint is a good collection of American coins ,
ut the government only allows It $300 $ a
ear to buy coins with. The British gov-
rnment spends $5,000 a year for coins.
TAR 0.\ HIS 1IA1U.
I'rnnk of a Youiijintor tlint dinned
.11 ucli hcruliblun.
On Sixty-fourth street , Chicago , lives n
man who has a fair-haired boy about 3 years
of age , of whom he Is very fond , and natu
rally somewhat Indulgent.
Ho heard thait liquid tar was a good thing
o apply to leaky roofs , so , as the top of his
> ack porch leaked in an unpleasant fashion
during a shower , ho decided to fix it. Ho
procured some tar , put it In an iron kettle ,
warmed it , and , climbing upon a ladder , at
tended to the leak.
As a special favor his young eon had
permitted to witness the performance.
When , the father had occasion to descend
and go Into Iho house for something he
needed the child was solemnly warned not
to touch the tar kettle.
But when the-father returned the falr-
hslred child had been stirring the tar with
a stick and was in the act of wiping the
came on his hair.
They sat him in the bathtub after his
clothing was removed and applied lard in
liberal quantities to his golden ringlets. Tills
softened the tar after awhile , but as it soft
ened it ran down over the cherub , and it
was several days before repeated ecrubblng
restored him to his original beautiful color.
PRATTLE OF THE YOUNGSTERS.
"Bobby , you must go to bed now. "
"But , ma , it isn't time. "
"Yes it ds ; your Uncle Robert and your
father are going to tell what bad boye they
used to bo at school. "
Small Freddie startled his mother the
other morning , when for the first time ho
saw 'the Iceman delivering his commodity ,
by exclaiming : "Oh , mamma ! just look at
the man carrying a chunk of lea with a pair
of bow-legged EClssors ! "
"Now , Tommy , " said & mother * o her
4-year-old hopeful , "wo ar& going to have
company to dinner and I want you to toe
real good today. " "All right , mamma , " re
plied the little fellow , "and If I'm real good
.oday may I be bad tomorrow ? "
"Boys , " said the Sunday school teacher , ad
dressing the juvenile class , "can any of you
tell me anything about Good Friday ? "
"Yoo'm , I can , " replied the urchin at the
foot of the class. "Ho waa the feller what
done the housework .for Robinson Crusoe. "
"What all did you see in the country , Nel
lie ? " asked a father of his 4-yoar-old daugh
ter , who had just returned from a two weeks' '
visit to her grandparents. "Oh , just lots of
things , " replied Nellie. "I saw horses ,
COTTECS , hogscs and a mamma pig with a
whole lot of Httle pigmlw. "
Willie , aged 5 , bounded Into the house ono
day , exclaiming , as bo hung his hat on the
hall rack : "This Is my home ! This is my
homo ! " A lady visitor said : "Tho houeo
next door Is just like this , Willie ; suppose
you went over there and hung your hat up
In the hall , that would bo your homo as much
as this , wouldn't it ? " "No , ma'am , " an-
ewered the little fellow. "Why not ? " asked
the lady. " 'Cause my mother doesn't live
there , " was the triumphant reply.
IMPIETIES.
Chicago Posl : One of the older news
paper men told . story the other day :
"Browning was ono of the fccst reporters
to got out of work that ever broke Into the
business , " ho said. "Tho city editor sent
him down to report Henry Ward Beecher
ono time and ho came In at 11 o'clock with
hla etuff ready for the printer. He > had
taken no notes , but had made a running
long-hand report. Ho told how the church
looked , who were on the rostrum about
tbu pulpit and how Mr , Beecher rose and
lifted his hands and ald , vary solemnly :
'After this manner , therefore , pray yo , '
"Then. Browning added. In parenthesis ,
'Turn rule for Lord's prayer. ' Ho meant
0 copy that vortwtlm from the office 'bible ,
when he got to his desk , bub forgot It , and
ho parenthesis waa only to guide the
irlntor. So the paper came out In the
morning -with a good word picture of Brook-
yn'B famous preacher , and his Impressive
manner of saying : 'After this manner ,
hcroforo. pray ye. Turn rule for Lord's
prayer. ' "
Which roaly wasn't what the eloquent
orator bad said at all.
Washington Post : "A church reporter's

In the Country ,
Phjalcal Director Barnes of the Omaha
Young Men's Christian asooclatlon Is very
cnthuslnetlo over vhat lie saw durlug his
recent eastern trip. He visited the principal
cities , In which ho Inspected the Young
Men's Christian association g > uinaslums
and studied their methods of physical cul
ture. Ho also visited the gymnasiums nnd
athletic Holds of some of the leading col
leges and some of the metropolitan clubo.
"Primarily I went cast to study the work
and equipment of the eastern associations
and the large athletic clubs nnd colleges , "
snld Mr. Ilarnes. " 1 went straight through
to Boston by the way of Washington , Uat-
tlmoro , Philadelphia and Xe\v York. In
Uoeton I found the associations there arc
six within flvo miles of the Central asso
ciation In a very prosperous condition.
The Doston Central branch nnd the Cam
bridge associations occupy magnificent
buildings , \\cll equipped nnd doing n Hue
work , especially flong the physical and
educational lines. Boston Central employes
four plijelcal directors. They have 1,100
members. Cambridge , with about COO members -
bors , employes two men. I was particu
larly struck with the homellkoj air about
the Boston association. There seems to bo
a strong social tlo that holds tbo members
ogether.
"While In Cambridge T spent a good por.
tlon of iny time at eld Harvard and I
should judge from the magnificent equip
ment for outdoor sports that the majority
of the student body Indulged In some of
the many forms of athletics. Soldiers' Flold ,
when completed , will bo 1ho largest and
best equipped athletic grounds In this
country. The enclosure contains twenty-
seven acres and when nil the grounds are
Improved will have three boathouses , golf
grounds , tennis courts , foot ball field , en
tirely surrounded by bleachers ; quarter-
mile track for athletic evento , a base ball
diamond , with grandstand nnd bleachers ; n |
flno building for training quarters nnd a
building expressly for winter base ball prac
tice. Boston Is surely nn enthusiastic cen
ter for athletics.
"I next visited Springfield , Mast ) . , -where
one of the International Training1 Sohools
for general secretaries and physical direc
tors Is located. The school IB well equipped
and Is In a beautiful location. The school
nnd dormitories are In nn oak grove on the
shores of a beautiful lake. The gymnasium i
and athletic grounds are just across from
the main buildings. Only a few of the fa. -
ulty live In the city. I spent a few hours |
with Dr. McCurdy and ho kindly Illustrated
some of the new experiments relating ; to\tho
effect of exerolso upon the heart nnd organs
of respiration which were Intenealy Inter
and helpful.

"Now York was my next stop. I rpent
flvo days there and In Brooklyn. I was n-
tortalnod by an old schoolmate , James Ford ,
who is assistant at Brooklyn Central. Now
York T\as a surprise to me. I expected
treat things from the association there.
Some of the associations have elaetant quar
ters , notably so the Fifty-seventh and Fifth
avenue branch , where they have a $700,000
building , thoroughly equipped with a sepa
rate junior department , with Its saparate
gymnasium and bath rooms and with a
corps of men In charge. It has a flno ath-
lotlo park adjoining the Imlldlng ; and yet ,
they have only 1,400 membars. Twenty as
sociations are looatodwithin a radius of
fifteen miles In and about New York , af
fording the grandest opportunity Imagln-
for competltlvo athletics and yet they
