From him comes a package of candied honey in brick-form, about 2x3x4 inches, weighing in the neighborhood of a pound. It is wrapped in a single piece of paraffin paper long enough to go two or three times around. This is contained in a neat, light, wooden box. The whole affair is of the simplest kind, no instruction being needed to tell the customer how to open it. The preparation, however, may not be so simple as the package looks. The size is all right to put upon a plate, and the consistency of the honey could not be improved except for those who prefer honey in the liquid form. Indeed, it is of such peculiar consis- tency that if one blindfold d were to eat it upon bread, one might not really tell whether it were candied or liquid. While entirely granulated, it is a bit creamy, making it nearly, if not quite, as easy to spread as butter. One que- ries whether it would be possible to secure always just the degree of con- sistency. It would be a desideratum. In one respect something is left to be desired. That very consistency which makes the honey so nice for a spread is such that when the paper is peeled off it does not come off clean and dry, but some of the honey clings to the paper
