SUCCESS WITH MERINGUES.
Who is not fond of lemon meringue
pie? In fact,an ordinary bread pud-
ding or a simple tapioca one is great-
ly improved by the addition of beaten
white of egg and sugar, baked on the
top until a delicate brown. Such a
mixture is known as meringue.
In making meringues the points to
be considered are these: Have the

any more. He loves bread and butter,
but when he is through eating there is
much more of it distributed over his
face, hands, clothing and immediate
surroundings than could have reached
its intended destination."

grandmother. "It makes you unnec-
essary work. And it teaches him bad

enough to make firm and of a light
brown color, but not too long, as it
will then become tough.
If it is not convenient to use a wet
board for the pie shells, very good re-

Lane and his friend stepped out to
the platform of the fire escape. Below
them was the narrow alleyway, direct-
ly in front the iron frame of the
Wyndham fire escape.
A discovery flashed across Kirby's
brain and startled him. "See here,
Cole. If a man was standin' on that
platform over there, an' if my uncle
had been facin' him in a chair, sittin'
in front of the window, he could 'a'
rested him hand on that railin' to take
aim an' made a dead -centre shot."
Cole thought it out. "Yes, he could,
if yore uncle had been facin' the win-
dow. But the chair wasn't turned
that way, you told me."
"Not when I saw it. But some one
might 'a' moved the chair afterward."
The champion of the world grinned.

one tied up the old man an' chloro-
formed him an' left him here con-

wall after he'd been shot, then some
one on the fire escape could 'a' done
it. What's the need of all them ifs?
Since some one in the room had to be
in the thing, we can figure he fired
the shot, too, whilst he was doin' the
rest. Besides, yore uncle's face was

ver fork or wire whisk, or in a bowl top and cut into bits. This is a con -
with a rotary egg beater. When four.
or five whites are used a heavy wire
beater accomplishes the work more
easily and gives better results.
Either powdered or granlated sugar
is used for meringues, but whichever
is used should be sifted. If more than
three eggs are used a small amount of
cream of tartar may be added to
harden the albumen. Add the sugar
gradually and beat it until the mix-
ture will hold its shape. Add the flav-
oring, which may be lemon juice or
vanilla, and spread it over the pie or
pudding and bake from eight to fif-
teen minutes, depending on the thick-
ness of the meringue.
If the oven is too slow or the mer-
ingue is taken out too soon it liquifies
and "falls"
It is very important that the air
beaten into the eggs shall not escape,
as it is the expansion .of that air in
baking which makes the meringue
light and causes it to hold its shape.
The process employed to keep this air
from escaping is known as "cutting
and folding."When the additional
sugar is all put in at once, cut down
through the mixture once or twice
with a spoon, then carefully turn the
whites over the sugar, repeating the
process until the two are blended.—
