A custard Is one of the dishes that admits of no guesswork. It it one of the easiest desserts to make and one of the easiest things to spoiL Its proper baking is of even more Importance than its mixing. It must be made of fresh materials and bakes better in a shallow dish than in a deep one. The oven heat must be moderate and the cups or dish containing the custard placed in a shallow tin dish like a dripping pan. The moment a custard i3 baked it should be taken out. If you leave it longer it will be watery. The proper test is to insert the blade of a knife down to the bottom, and if it comes out without liquid adhering the custard is done. For the various forms of baked and boiled custard four eggs to a quart of milk are sufficient for all puroses, yet six eggs may be used, or even more, if the custard is desired very rich. Boiled custard Is smoother if only the yolks of the eggs are used. Often gelatine or cornstarch is used to , assist in thickening milk when eggs are expensive, but these are not real custards. Eggs should not be beaten too much in making a custard. Beat Just enough so that the egg does not string. Overbeating tends to make a custard curdle.

DUCK LEGS BASIS OF FREAK LAW SUIT Indiana Harbor Hunkeytovra Is Bluebi Concerned Over Outcome of Legal Battle. Hunkeyton in Indiana Harbor ls considerably wrought up over a suit that is pending which involves the ownership of three large and thrifty looking ducks. Yesterday the case came up before Justice George Reiland at the Har bor, but it has been continued in order that several more witnesses may be subpoenaed and that the ducks themselves .together with a nest of duclc eggs, may bo brought into court. Fifteen witnesses were on hand yesterdya, but the ducks themselves and the man, who is alleged to have sold the birds to the plaintiff, were not present, and proceedings were accordingly postponed. The value of the ducks varies acocrding to the point of view of those interested, at from 50 to 75 cents each, or a total of an average somewhere la the neighborhood of $2. What the costs will be when the wit nesses are all paid and the courfs and clerk's fees taken Into consideration, is terrifying. Valxandria Koronok Is the complaint and John Chizmar is the defendant. Valexandria lives at One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street and Deodore and John Is her neighbor. Each claims the ducks. John claims; he knows they are his because one of the birds has but one leg. Valxandria is equally certain they are hers because she has a nest of eggs In her woodshed, laid by one of the alleged stolen fowl. The eggs are to be produced in court and if any appear to recognize the eggs and show a disposition to sit on them, it will be regarded as evidence that the ducks belong to Valzandria. If on the other hand one of them proves to have but one leg. It will be certain that they do not now nor ever have, belonged to the lady. ' Have yon ever tried an ad In Th Times t j Try one and eee the result.
