In making a custard the whites of the eggs are not a necessary ingre- dient. Use the yolks to thicken the milk.

Thi.s recipe dates back to the timo of Charles the Second. At that tinve there was a thoroughfare called Pickled K4;g Walk that led from tho city of Loniinn to ('lerUenw.-ll, a northern district of tho dear old town. There was a tavern in this road famous (or its picMisI eggs, nnd it is said that tho merry monarch once slopped at tho tavern and par- took of llieni. To 1 qt. vinegar allow one tea- spoon black poppor, 1 ten.spoon white popper and half oz. whole ginger well bruised. IJoil tho oggs for 12 min- utes, then dlj) them in cold water, and carefully take olT tho shells. If any should ho broken in handling do not use them, as one broken egg would spoil all tho rest. Arrange tho eggs with cure in a mnnll crock or In largo open-mouthed bottlas. Now put the pepper nnd ginger Into tlie vinegar and when it boils, let II simmer gently for lO nilnuti-R to ox. tract the flavor of the spices, cover- ing the saucepan closely. Then while hot pour it over tho eggs and when t-, . . cold tlo down closely to exclude the i ii' Dl U 1 S 1 O 11 air. In one month tho eggs will bo ready for use. Vagaries ol the IMe Duke and the Re- markable House That Ue UuUt. The formation of a limited company to finiince the cisimanl to the Porl- hind estates and tlUe calls ultention to llic vaeiiries of the lute Duke und the rurnurkible house thai he built. To describe Welbeck as unique among the stately homes of England i.s the sheerest platitude. lis grout park, mined and honeycombed wilh btoud tunnels and subterranean foot- ways; its palatial hou.se, with its undcr- j;rouncl suite of splendid room.s, includ- ing the picture gallery excavated from Hie solid clay; the lordly slablcs, wilh the neiKtiboring tan gallopâ€" an im- mense glass arcade with a strnltihl run o' nearly a quarter of a mile; the spaci- ou.s riding school, 130 yards long by : 5 yuril.s wideâ€" Ih&se things are known to have no like atnong the habitants c( men the world over. Even .so was the builder and maker ol "modorn Welbeck a man distinct from all others. He stands as grotes- quely in the long galleries of eccentric liiiiiianlty as Welbeck among the mnn- siotus of this or any other age. Mad h-' lived centuries a^o he would now !>.• disini.s,sed as a mythical creation, even as Hobin Hood, his fellow-hero of Sherwood, is written down a figment of legendary growth by latter day histori- ans. In IWi Welbeck was little more than a farmstead, a rambling and ill-a.«sort- ' concoction of buildings. With the house-building passion of his ances- tress, OLD BE.SS OF HAnDWICK, the duke addressed himself to the con- slruclion of Welbeck into a palace and wonderland that it now is. For eighteen years Welbeck became one vasi workshop. During the whole of that time the Duke employed on an a\crHge 1,800 workmen, including the llncsl skilled artisans In Europe. '.n some years the numbers ro.se to i.h(t) men. The weekly waj/es bill exceeded $15,(xn. and the total expenditure ran inlo .S3.').iino.OOO. Then were built those miles of sub- terranean railways and corriilnrs which make a rabbit wairen of Welbeck. Ev- erywhere over the estate huge "bull.s- eye.s" of glass obtnide in long lines â€" fiom the level sward where deer and callle browse, from the middle of ploughed fields, from long turf avenues, oven from the middle of the great lake before tho hoii.se. These arc the lanterns which light the undorpround tunnels nnd rooms by day; electricity serves the Slime puriio.se by niplit. The rnmblinp rnunlry mnnslon became a r'nla<^e: th^ sinliles. Ian gallop, and riding school were built; gardens of beauty were laid out. and conservatories erected by the mile. Of this transformation the Duke was the hidden magician. Privacy was the i-iiUng imssinn of his life. Me nnt only shut liiniself In Welbeck nnd renounc- el Iho outer world, but he also separ- eUfd himself from all contact with lii.s Fresh from the Gardens of the FIneot Tea-produoing Country In tha World. llOJIf A1IAI!

Fat is of great account to a baby ; that is why babies are fat. If your baby is scrawny, Scott's is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry ; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat sur- rounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at every ungentle touch. They delight in Scott's Emul- sion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Send for fnt tampU. Ba surs that this plctur« In ths (orm of « label l> on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulilon you buy.

In the corridors of the house he built niches in the walls, and every servant was under orders to seek refuge in the nearest when they beard ducal fool- steps approaching. No woman servant was allowed in his sight. Though building and furnishing the house as a palace, the duke lived in two rooms. Mis food consisted of one clitekcn per diem. He ole half at one meal and half at another. These were liL. only meals, and they were served il the same manner. The table being prepared, the servants withdrew rung a bell to warn his Grace. Duke entered, dined in solitude out the assl.stance of a footman, again retired before summoning .s<'rvants to remove the dishes. Day after day. year in and year otit, his dress was the .same. On his head was a tall lieaver hat nearly two feet I tdgh. and under It a long old-fa.s1iion | ed wig. A big coal wa.s rnuITled aboul i his neck, and over his arm he carried a loose clonk. Wet or fine he bore a | quaint and large umbrella, whose sphere effwtually screened him from observa- j lion. His Irou.sers were hitched up at ; Iht knees and tied with pieces of com- j mon string In the manner favored by j navvies. Thus arrayed he roamed about the ! park, exercising a marvellous facuUy ! cf evading the oliservnilon of olliers.lt was to this end he undermined Wel- lieck with MILES OF TUNNELS. For a mile and a half he turned the high road from Mansfield to Work.sop into a broad subterranean way, grant- ing its free use to the public, and as uddltional compen.salion made a new high road above ground. Through snial- ' ler subterranean po.s.sages piercing the ; park in all directions he could go from i i|ie house to any part in the domains, 01' as mysteriously disappear and re- turn home. f'or the conveyance of his workmen i(. imrt from Welheck to their homes, rtiornlng and evening, the Duke kept t herd of donkeys, and each laborer rod?
