Addition to Custard Makes Little Ex
tra Work, and the Children Are
Sure to Appreciate It.
It Is no more trouble to make a
chocolate custard than it Is a plain
one, and tne chocolate is a cnange.
Children especially enjoy a custard
made In this way. The proportions
are two cupfuls of milk, one ounce ot
chocolate, two eggs, sugar to taste,
usually about three tablespoonfuls, a
pinch of salt and half a teaspoonful
of any preferred flavoring.
Melt the chocolate in a double boil
er. iJour tne mine in ana let it come
to a boil. Beat eggs, sugar and salt
together, and pour the boiling milk
over the mixture and strain into cus
tard cups or one large dish as pre
ferred. Set In a pan of hot water and
bake in a moderate oven.
I suppose you know how to tell
when the custard is done. If not,
then the test is a knife put into the
middle of the custard. If the knife
comes out clean the dish is ready to
be taken from the oven, while If the
custard sticks to the knife it must be
left a little longer. Exchange.

Child's Pathetic Death.
A bad school report, which he

punish him, caused a boy of twelve

stable and hanged himself with a hal

SURE WAY TO KILL ROACHES
Preparation ut Borax and White
Sugar Is Fatal to the Filthy
I meets.
Mix dry, powdered borax with Its
own bulk of white sugar, and set In
shallow vessels all about where the
crawling things disport themselves.
Renew the mixture every fev days,
taking care to sweep up and burn all
the dead insects.
Paint visible pipes, and the spaces
where they enter the wall periodical
ly with turpentine. Let the turpen
tine run down and around the pipes,
especially hot water pipes. But be
careful to do it when the water Is
cooL Now and again pour a spoon
ful of pure turpentine down sinks
and traps.
Cut Irish potatoes in half, dip the
cut sides in the borax and sugar and
lay them about under sinks, tubs and
closets. Do this toward evening. In
the morning gather the potatoes,
which should lie, cut side down, very
quickly, and drop them into bucket ot
bollng water. If insects are plenty,
there probably will be from one to a
dozen clinging to each piece.

Braised Beef.
Three pounds of beef from lower

one-hali' teaspoonful peppercorns, one

scraps, wipe meat, sprinkle with salt
and pepper, dredge with flour and
brown entire surface in pork fat
Place meat in earthen dish, surround
with vegetables, peppercorns and
three cups boiling water. Cover close

The reason for browning the meat Is
that it keeps the juice in and it does
not get so dry. Also be sure to add
boiling water. This Is fine.
SCUB, which was the scene of
many activities during the
Balkan war, was the key to
the Serb side of ,Turkey. The
city has for decades been the
scene of insurrection, massacre and
turmoil One who would go to Uscub,
even In normal times, must be pre
pared to be Inconvenienced.
In Turkey, trains dare not ran at
night, for fear of dynamite outrages,
and as a result, the train from Nlsch,
In Servla, the nearest place of Im
portance, leaves at half-past five in
the morning.
, Once Independent
The trip Is made Interesting by a
review of what Uscub has stood for in
the past. In the beginning of things.
Uscub was known as Dardania, origi
nally an 'Independent empire, which
was swallowed up by the Roman Em
pire In 71 B. C., when' Uscub became
the capital of the Province of Dar
dania, but now under the name of
Scopl. At the opening of the eleventh
century, however, Scopi had become
a part of the vast Bulgar empire, to
which tradition is again today revert
ing, in the Balkans, with view of re
viving the same, and then, about 1246,
It, along with all Macedonia, was
torn away by the war ruler, Vatazes.
Uscub, therefore, has been a Balkan
battlefield, time and again, in the
past. The Serb emperor captured It
In the day when Greater Servla was
at its zenith. There were battles here
between Bulgars and Byzantines, and
little time to reach and Inspect thor
oughly. Closer by, In the city Itself,
there's a wonderfully pretty mosque
with a konak, or palace.
A Picturesque Town.
Uscub is made picturesque In that it
Is practically divided by the arching
stone bridge over the muddy, whirling
river. This river, its current excep
tionally fast, Is lined with rather pret
ty, old, stone quays. Of course, at Its
bridges there are police; In fact, po
lice are everywhere and these carry
guns on their shoulders, as would the
soldiers at home. So, too, everywhere)
there are Moslems, wearing fez or
turban, but otherwise clinging to the
European dress for the most part
Nevertheless, the numbers who still
retain the red jacket, blue bloomers
and heavy red belt In addition to the
fez, are far from small
Oft from the main street Uscub re
solves into a rather uninteresting
town. After all, the best part to It is
that view on entering. But there are
some odd characteristics. For exam
ple, the Christian women go barefoot;
wearing clogs under the sole. Little
boys don the fez, except the gypsies,
whose children run nude, regardless
of sex. while the elders, too, axe half
naked.
Continue up the muddy street and
you reach a section of two-story homes
of more modern style and cheap
stores. There Is no enterprise evi
dent, everything seems slow the
country smacks of Arabian Nights
Delicate Three Egg Cake.
Two cups of pulverized sugar,' three
fourths cup of butter, one cup ot
sweet milk, one and one-half cups each
of corn starch and flour. ' and tout

Mix butter and sugar to a cream,
then add milk, next corn starch and
part of the flour with the baking pow
der sifted with it; next the whites and
yolks of three eggs beaten to a froth
and lastly the remaining of the flour.
Use any flavoring desired. In baking
any kind of cake in loaves the pans
should be lined with a piece ot oiled
paper cut to fit the bottom of the pan
and pressed down closely before put

Paint on fur can be removed by

COURT pf aHARLM
here, at Uscub, was crowned the man
who was "czar of the Serbs and
Greeks." It was at his death that the
great Serb empire fell and Uscub be
came the booty of the Turks. They
changed Its name to the present one,
and made it capital of a sandchak, or
district 1
Uscub's decline thereafter Is mark
ed by but one break ot note, that In
the seventeenth century a colony of
Ragusans established itself here and
surrounded the city with splendid
vineyards, as well as organizing a
tremendous export of local products,
notably wax and leather. For a year
(1689) the Austrians also held Uscnb,
but had to release It and It Is Turk
ish since)
Tourlstlcally, Uscub repays a brief
stay on one's trip through Macedonia.
Lying as It does on the left shore of
the Wardar, there is an Interesting
bridge, built away back In the times
of the Sultan Mohammed n. Stand
ing on this, one may see- far to the
northwest the peak of the Sjubotru,
and. in the southwest, the snow-covered
Karaschitza. Just above the
town Is an interesting fortified castle
and passes Indicate landmarks that
show where, an hour's distance to the
northwest, a long aqueduct of Byzan
tine times remains.
These points, though, require some
times. Side streets consist of walls
to yards, each with double door oi
wood and heavy knockers, as again la
the tales of Bagdad. These streets
are very narrow; above them the lat
ticed windows overhang.

heavy silver-handled pistol in the belt
Sometimes you meet a man peddling
tiny pigs' foet at the end ot a pole
slung on his shoulder. There's a pre
ponderance of soldiers and their offi
cers in the street life; the latter In
garments quite threadbare. They
drop into the vegetable stores, where
candles, too, are handled, relytng on
a treat from the master.
Sometimes Turkish .. women, In
black, come by, two of them entering
