But with me she was always self-possessed and talkative and sociable. Katie wasn't a bit like other girls that I had known anything about. Instead of blushing at my confusion that after- -■<?"* noon she turned pale and shivered as if struck by a sudden chffl; I noticed, too, that there waa a strange quiver in her voice when she finally consented to be my wife. I wes apprehensive that John had told her what Anastasia had said on her death-bed. And yet I couldn't believe he would be so inconsiderate. Somehow I. couldn't forget that warning. Anastasia was a remarkable woman, and would surely keep her word, if ghosts are permitted to wralk the earth. Thinking thus, I began to grow frightened at the shadow in my room, and hastily rang the bell for lights. "Why are you so late, Bridget?" I asked, sharply, as the servant entered the room. " Indade, sir, * and it's meself that's been with Miss Kate every blessed minute, and she's almost kilt with a pain in her head." Gould this be the result of our conversation that afternoon? Considerably startled, I questioned Bridget eagerly. John came in while we were talking. "Kate ill?" he said, with a shadow on his brow. "Is it anything serious; uncle?" "What business had he to take any special interest in Katie ? " Only a headache," I answered, coldly; "she is subject to such attacks. ...^ Bring in the tea, Bridget.'* * " "We shall have a lonesome evening,". John sighed. * ... ■ . It was cheerless, though, without Katie. I missed her bright face behind the tea-tray. John left his cup untast- ed. My jealousy Was aroused, and I watche'd him keenly. As spon, as we were alone, I said, half angrily, "What is the matter, John ? "Sou look as if you hadn't a friend on earth. I didn't know before that you liked Katie so." The crimson leaped up to his very brow. " I am glad that you do," I continued, hastily, "for you will soon be connected by the ties of relationship. She. has promised to be my wife," "You are jesting, uncle!'' he said, doubtingly. "I was never more serious in my life," I answered. o John showed evident signs of agitation." "You have no right to sacrifice that young girl," he said, bitterly. "You are old enough to be her father. Of <Qkirse she accepted from gratitude. How dare you think * of such a thing? " "No wonder you rave," I replied, with a mocking smile; "you are disappointed in your inheritance." ^ At that moment the wind gave a fear ful shriek outside, and I' thought of Anastasia. . " "Are you not afraid to marry again? " John inquired, maliciously. "You remember the warning? " "Nonsense!" I answered; "itwill take something more than a ghost to frighten me out of this marriage." I had scarcely finished speaking when there Was a-great gust of wind, and a crashing of glass, and the storm actually. swept into the room. We glanced around us in dismay. The boughs of a large tree that stood in front of the house had. fallen against the winclc^! John gav6 a peculiar look as 1 cowered oyerrth§.fire, and then* barred the .wh1" .dbW^iif such a manner as to keep'but* ths rain. A "strange gloom enveloped us both, and we did not return to the subject we had been discussing. Our conversation was fitful, and it seemed a relief _wheh we-parted at bedtime. There is no use in denying that I was trdubled'a little with.superstitious fears. I peered round ahxiSusly into eyery cotnet of 4he tooffl.

Nevertheless I did not dare towed Katie Nelson; yet how, could I explain this. sudden change of purpose? I fervently hoped that she would not die of a, broken heart, poor child, Whot^should I-sfcy to her?_ :After - considerable reflection, i Vdnnv'^^i^p'roposea-.^axriuge* was* so odiousin his eyeslhai-I knew he would jilstify my apparent treachery to her, if possible. Morning came, and I arose in a feverish state of miud. How I dreaded to meet Katie at the breakfast-table; but, fortunately, she did not make her appearance. John looked so troubled that I almost fancied he, too, had seen the ghost. After breakfast I said to him, with embarrassment that I strove to hide: "My dear boy, do you remember what we were talking about last evening? I have been thinking over the matter seriously and am afraid that a marriage between Katie and myself will result in unhappiness; but I have not the courage to brave her reproaches. Now, John, will you act as mediator, and make known this change in my views?" "Why, uncle," he answered, and I was almost sure I saw a gleam of mischief in his eyes, " something extraordinary must have happened. You are not usually.so fickle." " We won't discuss the matter," said I, in an irritated tone. " Will you, or will you not grant my request? " " Of course I will," he replied; "but it is a difficult task. The poor child will be so* disappointed." I detected a joyous ring in his voice, and looked at him rather suspiciously. His diplomatic mission was successful, however. Late in the morning Katie came downt nto the library where I was sitting. had never seen her look prettier. "Oh, Mr. Raymond," he said, eagferly, "I am so glad to see that you have changed your mind, t was so unexpected yesterday. I never dreamed before that you loved me in any other way than«as a daughter." Was this acting? Was she trying to deceive me in her sweet unselfishness? " Then you never loved me ? " I asked. " Dear Mr. Eaymond, you know better," she answered; "only it was not exactly the kind of love one ought to feel toward a husband. You are as dear as if you were my own father; but you are so much older than I that—that—" She hesitated and did not finish her sentence. I remembered my gray, hairs with a pang of mortified vanity. Was not the ghostly visit enough? Must I be tortured in this manner afterward? The veil was torn away from the delusion I had cherished. Alas! I had misinterpreted her childish affection. It must be that she loved another. I looked down into the face, where a vivid scarlet glowed, and read herse^ cret. ■ "* • . * "My dear child," I exclaimed, attempting to control my agitation, " tell me everything." "Oh, Mr. Baymond," she answered, in confusion, "John has asked me to be his wife," The rascal! No wonder that he remained with her such a long time that morning; no wonder he boasted of the satisfactory manner in which everything had been explained. "The impudent fellow!" I muttered, impatiently. "What did you answer, child ? -Do you love him? " Low ahd sdftthe^nswer came: "Yes." The heart of a Woman is a mystery that I cannot fathom. I was certainly- outwitted by my nephew. He must have been afraid, however, that my conscience would reproach me if Katie showed her disappointment. I have little doubt that she loved me far better than she would confess. Ah, well! they were married in due tjme; and we $ye gll living to^etbej:. Tbe dear children do everything they can for i^;ha^iiessi? '* ." AA^f^AAy A'-^AI " Katie'is still a^beautiMT woman, and John is the staff of my old age. I never saw the ghost again. In fact, I have good reason to think that the mysterious visitant wasra certain graceless nephew ofJmijie,*wS9 hftSJailehii^ love with Katie. Of course I forgave the deception long ago, as it saved me from a terrible mistake.

The proceedings were, a perfect thunderclap to him. As he reached his feet and found sixty or seventy pair of eyes turned upon him he would have resumed his bench if the thoughtful Jan. Harrison hadn't been behind him with a darning-needle. ' ; - "I—-Ize heah, sah!"' he gasped, as he turned to the platform. "De brudder will.step^seben or eight paces dis way," said the President. He walked slowly forward, his knees playing a tufle and hip color fading to the complexion of Erench wall-paper, and when he was in position the President arose and said: " . /. . "Brudder Philbrick Gladstone, you hez heard de charges. Am you guilty or innocent?" "I war dar, ait' I owned de winnin' dorg," was the reply.

The brother handed over the cash without hesitation, signed a written pledge, and as he returned to his seat he had to unbutton his vest to give play to his heartfelt emotions. He will doubtless be found in the front rank of philanthropists and humanitarians after this.—Detroit AE'ree JPress* . mittee on Education and Labor, to restrict the immigration of Chinese to the "United States. Briefly stated, it provides that no master of a vessel owned in the United States shall take on board a any noint in China or elsewhere more than fifteen Chinees passengers, with intent to bring them within the "United States. Yiolation of this provision is made a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $100 for each passenger and imprisonment for six months. The master of the vessel is required, under like penalties, to report on his arrival a sworn list of all Chinese passengers. The report from the committee on this "bill was unanimous. It sets forth that the evils of Chinese immigration are fully recognized on the Pacific slope, and have been for many years. "Welcomed at first," the report says, "as a meager addition to society and a "valuable ally in the development of the material resources of their new home, the Chinese, by their sordid, clannish, immoral and non-amalgamating habits,- within a very short time reversed the judgment in their favor and came to be regarded -as a standing menace to the .social and political institutions.of-jthe country." THE LABOB PBOBLEM. Senator David Davis, of Illinois, has* presented in the Senate a memorial of more than ordinary importance. The memorial is .signed by 3,190persons from a number of States, -ranging all th© way from Massachusetts to Texas and recites that the lalio* question is one which involves the happiness or misery of millions of the people of "this country, and asks that Congress take some action in collecting statistics on the subject. Mr. Davis made a few remarks in favor of the. subject of the memorial. He said the people were • justly indignant that Congress"should expend-motfey to ascertain the condition of foreign trade and bestow no attention upon the condition, of trade at horned He thoaght the accumulation of statistics upon the subject was of the utmost' importance, and that the manor set of men who would do anything to solve this .great question of • the status- of- labor* would become immortal.* The memorial was referred to an appropriate committee.

TTHE 'NEW EENt. ±oK xrtxis*- It is said that the future Prince of Bulgaria is likely tobe Price Louis of Battenberg, the son of Prince Alexander of Hesse, who is an Austrian cavalry general and honorary colonel of the Eighth Bussian Hussars. Prince Louis is now serving in the British navy,fand is an intimate friend of the Dukeof Edinburgh The Philadelphia Inquirer estimates that the real and personal property of the United States is worth $50,000,000,- 000, against $42,000,000,000 for Great Britain, and,$4^000,000,000 for &c§jic At a Cabinet meriting, last week, there was an extended legal discussion with reference to the construction to be placed upon portions of the Pension Arrearages bill. It is a matter of great importance as to when the payment of arrearages begins, whether on the date of the discharge of the pensioner from the Government service or at the period at which the disability commenced. After considerable debate on this topic the matter was left for the opinion of the Attorney General. THE MITCHELli WAB CIiAIM. Warren Mitchell, of Louisville, Ky., has for several years been prosecuting a claim for $128,000, to reimburse him for cotton seized by the Eederal troops in Georgia, during the last days of the Kebellion. The Court of Claims once decided favorably on this claim, and Mitchell was just about to get possession of the money, when information came to the members of the Court that, so far from the plaintiff being a loyal citizen, as he had proved by any number of witnesses, he had been a contractor in the South during the war, furnishing the Confederate army with pork, beef, and other sinews. Thereupon the Court of Claims modified their opinions so far as to reverse their decision and kick the claim out of court. Of course Mitchell's next step was to make a raid on Congress. After a series of spicy debates the question was decided adversely by the Senate, bythe decisive vote of seventeen yeas to thirty nays. The unusual prominence given to these war claims in the House of late has induced Senator Edmunds, of Yer- mont, to propose an amendment to the constitution prohibiting the payment of claims to disloyal persons. It reads as follows: Art. 16. No claim against the United States shall ever hereafter be sustained or allowed by Congress, or any department, officer, or court of the United States, or gioney paid bythe United States or from their funds, whether as damages, compensation, or otherwise, from or on account of any property, real, personal, or mixed, taken, used, injured, or destroyed by the United States troops, or by or through any officer, civil or military,.or other person acting or professing to act under or by authority of the United States, or of their enemies, or taken, used, injured, or destroyed from any other cause whatever during tho existence of tho late insurrection or rebellion against the Government of the United States, unless the owner thereof (and in case of any corporation its governing authority and management) was during all the time of such insurrection or rebellion loyal in fact to the Government of the United States, and gave neither aid nor encouragement to the enemy. No pension, bounty, grant, pecuniary indemnity, or pecuniary benefit shall ever be given or provided for, by or under authority of Congress or any State for or on account of any military or other service performed or injury suffered in hostility to the Government of the United States. No pardon or amnesty, past or future, shall have any effect to take any person, case or claim out of the pur new of this article. THE BBAVE MTLITIA. Senator Ferry, of Michigan, 'has offered in the Senate a new National Militia bill. It provides that all able- bodied male citizens between the ages of 18 and 45 years, within the respective States and Territories, except such as may be exempt by law,sliall constitute the militia. The militia are to be divided into two classes—the active, to be known as the National''or State Guard, as the State may prescribe, and the inactive, to be known as the reserve militia. The bill proposes to appropriate $1,000,000 for the purpose of providing arms, ammunition and other ordinary and Quartermaster's stores for the active militia. THE CHINESE EVIL.

King William of Prussia, is paid $3,000,000 per year, and Victor Emmanuel $2,400,000, and, good Queen Yictoria manages to live on $2,000,000. Now, in addition to these salaries, each sovereign is furnished with a dozen or more first-class residences free of cost. In this country our President gets only $50,000 a year just as much as the Czar of Bussia gets in two days. Gen. Sherman receives in all some $18,000 per year— only a fraction-more than the Sultan of Turkey gets each day. The whole expense of an American Congress for a session of six months will not exceed — incidentals and all—$4,000,000. The people in this country complain of hard times. Let them study the pauperism of England, and, our word for it, they will deem the condition of our poorer classes a comparatively happy one. Serenity in Death, Perfect serenity in regard to death is not to be attained by any effort of the will, or by any process of reasoning; it is rather the result of a happy combination of bodily and mental conditions. The chief of these conditions, the assured hope of a future beyond the grave, in comparison of which the brightest earthly visions fade like a candle before the dawn, is not given .to all; and in these days, especially, it is for many overshadowed, if not altogether blotted out by doubts and questionings which can no longer be hidden from the multitude. Even to those who most earnestly cling to the hope of immortality it would seem that our troublous "inheritance of sympathy must cast many a distressing side-light upon prospects in which of old the faithful were able to take undisturbed delight. However this may be, the mer£ prospect of prolonged existence beyond tho grave, apart from other reasons for joyful confidence, must be taken rather as enlarging the scope of our hopes and our fears than as' necessarily altering the balance between them. Habitual hopefulness may color the prospect beyond the grave with the same glowing tints which it throws over this world, so that in some cases the same cause which makes life delightful makes death not unwelcome. Such a s£ate of mind, though rare, is not unknown. But perhaps a perfect balance of feeling is more readily to be found at a lower level of expectation.—Corn- hill Magazine. Horse Biscuits. The German army horses are now fed on biscuits of three parts each of rye flour, oat flour and dextrinated pea flour. The biscuit are made with a hole in the middle of each, so they can be strung on a string and hung to the saddle-bow or be carried by the trooper around his waist. Each biscuit weighs, when baked dry and hard, about two ounces. Seven biscuits are broken up and given to the horse in the morning, moistened with water, if convenient, otherwise dry; twelve at noon and seven at night, After careful experiment in camp, on the march and campaigning they are reported by all the cavalry and artillery officers better than oats. A trooper can easily carry thirty pounds of these biscuits, which will furnish his horse with full rations for eight days, or will serve, with forage, for twenty days' hard marching. Some Facts .as to Its Origin. The prevalance of scarlet fever in New York induced the World to inter1- view -Dr. Fordyee-Baarker concerning the disease. The-following is there- suit: " It was first described by Sydenham in the seventeenth century,"" said- Prof., Barker, " as a distinct disease." u " Are there great differences in the severity of such^epidemics?" " "Very great ^differejices, some v epi" demies being miM. and "some-attended with severe and dangerous cases. Bufc fchere are always mild cases during the most severe epidemics." "What are the causes of scarlet fever?" " The specific cause is infection by a specific poison which is communicated by direct contact either with the ex- halatioiUifrom the lungs of patients, wifch tfierb skin, or by means of clothing or various Substances with wbich the patients have come in contact. Scarlet fever is said to have been communicated by milk, or even by a letter. Taylor, an eminent English writer, reports the beginning of one epidemic as being in the family of a milkman who delivered milk to twelve families. Of these families six had scarlet fever as a consequence. A certain individual predisposition must exist, as it is frequently found that one child in a family may take the disease, while others of the children who have frequently been exposed iii'vtlie^saMe degree do nii|t"gefc it." "Are individuals who have had the disease in a mild form more liable to the second attack?" "I should say not. On the contrary, those who have a constitutional predilection to the disease are more liable to a second attack. Ordinarily one attack secures immunity from a second, but there are many exceptions to this. It is very rare that patients die from a second attack. In faot not more than three or four cases of this kind have been reported in medical literature." "How long does the poison retain its activity in clothing, furniture, rooms, ©tc." "This is very uncertain. There is conclusive evidence that it has been retained in clothing sometimes for months." "How soon is the disease developed after infection? '\ "TrohS^aJCb reports a caSeia*whichth& disease was manifested in twenty-four hours after exposure, and other cases are reported; but usually the period of development is from three to ten or twelve -days ykf€ei 4xppsuroi Tfhis is ■ susceptibihty of^the patiOTLti?*-*^*" ~%!L>!' "At what period of the disease, and !. ^ Monday, Feb. 10.—The Legiolciure reassembled nt 8:30 in th& evening filter a recess of ten d&jV....G6v. Oroswellsent the following messagQ relative to the resignation of ex-Senator Christiancy: "I trauemit herewith for the informafcipn of lhe Legislature a copy of a letter hearing date the' 8th inst, ad-. dre'ssied to me by the Hofl. Isaac P. Christiancy, resigning the office of Senator from fhe -State of Mcjhigan in the Congress of the'United. States, to late effect afc 12 o'clock noon of this day, -whereby said office is .now vacant, and haa been from said last-mentioned period of time." Thm following is a copy of Senator Christiancy's letter of resignation: "Lansing, jffieb., Feb. 8. 1879.—To His JBxcellendy Chas. M. Croswell, Governor of the State of Michigan— Sir? Ihereby resign my office of • Senator JErom the State of Michigan in. the Con- "gress of- the United.

The Terrible Garr.ote0 An execution by the 'garrote, al- how long, is it infectious? " "It is infectioiis throughout its whole course. It is believed to be most intensely so during the period of dis- quamation, or when the skin is peeling off; but so long as there is evidence of disturbance of the system from the localization of the poison in any organ it is not safe to assume that the disease is not communicable." " What is the comparative susceptibility and danger from the disease at different ages?" " The most susceptible period of lif e is from 1 to 15 years. Murchisdn, a very high authority, states from the statistics of nearly 150,000 cases that about 24 per cent, of deaths from scarlet fever are under 5 years, and nearly 90 per cent, under 10 years, 95-} per cent, under 15 years, and only If per cent, over 25 years. Scarlet fever is very rare in young infants. Only one- ninetieth of all the deaths are under 1 year, and one-fifteenth between 1 and 2 years." " How can scarlet fever be prevented and alleviated?" "To prevent scarlet fever complete isolation of the patients is absolutely essential, as well as the prevention of all contact with those in attendance on the diseased persons. It is essential also that the house should be thoroughly ventilated, -so that the.poison which may escape may be as diluted as possible. All clothing should be thoroughly disinfected, and even the soiled linen of the sick should not be mingled with that of tne other members of the household. The rehef of the patients pertains to theiaeQical treatment.. After:: the disease is recovered from the sickroom should be thoroughly disinfected, as well as the.bedding,'the "furniture, the carpets, and even the walls. It is found that..dry heat to the point-of 212 degrees, kept up for some hours, effeett* uaUy destroys the poison; and this, perhaps, is as good a method, as any of disinfecting the bedding of those who cannot afford to have it destroyed." " Does the term scarlatina mean a mild form of scarlet fever? " "No; the two terms are precisely identical." Ma«Mahon'& Letter of Resignation. The following is the text of Marshal MacMahon's letter announcing his resignation of the Presidency of the Erench Bepublic: At the opening of this .session of the Chambers the Ministry -presented to you a programme Which, -while affording satisfaction to public opinion, appeared to the Cabinet such as might be voted without danger to the security or good administration of the country. Putting aside personal views, I had given the programme io which conscience commanded me to remain faithful To-day the Ministry, thinking to respond to the opinion of the majority in the two Chambers, proposes to me in regard to the military * commands some general measures which I consider contrary to the interests of the army, and consequently to those of the country. I cannot subscribe to them. Any other Ministry, taken from the majority, would impose upon me tho same conditions, I consider myself, therefore, bound to shorten the duration at the mandate which the National Assembly confided to me, and Ithere- f ore tender my resignation. In quitting power, I have the consolation of thinking that, during the fifty-three years I haye devoted to the service of my country as a soldier or citizen, I have never been guided by sentimente other than by absolute devotion to my country. I request you to communicate my decision to tlie Chambers. . MAcMAHON,Duke of Magenta. A BBBiADEliPHiA firm hm justoon- tracted to construct a railway and canal in Mexico, which will open Matampras to trade. though accredited with being mercifully -painless, is certainly awful to behold* The place of execution in Madrid is accessible to the public, and the occasion is of equal interest with a day at the bull-ring. Everything connected with this ceremony of death is viewed with morbid horror by the Spaniards because of ancient Oriental prejudices of pollur tion. All actually employed in. the operation are accounted-infamous, alid- lose their caste and purity of blood. Even the gloomy scaffold on which the . culprit is strangled is usually erected.in the night, and by unseen hands. It rises from the earth like a fungus work.; of darkness. Execution .by hanging was graciously abolished byEerdinand, Til; ■ Ifc is certainly more in accord**-- ance with the semi-Oriental natures 'ot the Spanish people, which leads them to ' tenderly respect the bowstring. All that Cervantes, from his sad experience^ pictured a prison to be, it is to-day; ^1 that he said of the morbid love of Ms countrymen for the horrible or the ludicrous is equally true now.

At the fatal hour ihe culprit appears, usuallydadin. a coarse, yellow baize gown— the color in which the Spanish school of painters robe the special object of their con-" tempt, Judas Iscariot. The scaffold. having been mounted, the culprit is placed on a rude seat. Has back leans " against a strong, upright past, to which an iron collar is attached, inclosing his neck, and so contrived as to be drawn home by turning a powerful screw behind the post. The asms and legs of the culprit are tightly bound. IVhen all • is ready the executioner takes the lever of the screw in both hands, gathers himself up for a powerful muscular effort, and, at the moment ?of a preconcerted signal, draws the iron eollay . tight, while an attendant Sings a black handkerchief over the faed. A convulsive pressure of the hahda &nd a heaving of the chest are ttsuallyfche only visible signs of suffering.

Chicago, on the other hand, as will be seen, has an inflated population of 450,000; these figures are arrived at by including all the county (Cook) in which that windy city is situated.

Her mother has been the custodian of the light since the death of Ida's father, a few years ago. The latter, by reason of her age, was induced to resign, through the influence of United States Senator Burnside, who had Ida appointed in recognition of lier services in saving life. Secretary Sherman, in his letter conveying the appointment, says: " This appointment is conferred upon you as a mark of my appreciation for your noble and heroic efforts in saving "human life." Thekeepership of the light, therefore, is retained in the family. The salary has been increased $250 for Ida's benefit. Her mother will remain with .her. Suspended, The Eev. Dr. Justin D. Pulton, the widely-known preacher, has been suspended from fellowship in the Baptist Ministers' Conference, which includes New York, Brooklyn and New Jersey pastors. Dr. Pulton's offense was in saying publicly of Bev. Dr. Sampson, a brother minister, that during the war he had never been known to utter a word or perform a single act in the cause of liberty. These words Dr. Pulton refused to withdraw or apologize for, and, after a stormy discussion, in which Dr. Eulton took part, it was voted, by 53 to 13, to suspend. Dr. Eulton said, on leaving the room: "I thank you all* for what yon have done, and may God bless you all." This action will not affect his pastorate, as he has long been independent.

How To Make Chocolate Filled Mini Turkey Tarts
There's something magical about desserts that look like they took an eternity to make, but really don't. This recipe can be whipped up in less than 15 minutes and perfect for kids to lend a hand with — plus it puts to use specialty cookie cutters (like this turkey) that only see the light of day a few times a year!
What You Need
1 recipe pie dough (we won't tell if you use store bought, it works fine)
1 bag chocolate chips (peanut butter and butterscotch are great too!)
1 egg
sanding sugar
1 pastry brush
cookie cutters of choice
parchment paper
baking sheet
small bowl
1. Gather & Pre-Heat: This recipe is rather assembly line in nature, so having all your ingredients ready to go makes things infinitely easier. Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees to get things going.
2. Whisk Egg: Mix 1 whole egg in a small bowl until combined. Set aside, but not too far from your baking sheet so there's less drips!
3. Roll Out Pie Crust: If you're using homemade, your goal is 1/8 of an inch. It doesn't have to be perfect, but as close as possible is always a good thing. If using store bought, unroll or thaw slightly and slip out of the pan onto a lightly floured surface.
4. Cut Your Shapes: You'll need two of everything, so cut as many pieces as possible in even numbers. The smaller your cutter the more you'll end up with, the larger it is, the less you'll end up with (obviously), but remaking extra dough is no big deal once the first batch hits the oven.
5. Place On Baking Sheet: Place 1 layer of dough cut outs on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave an inch between each (more if it's handmade dough and slightly thicker) piece. Save the tops for a different step.
6. Add Filling: Add a small amount of chocolate chips (say a tablespoon for large ones, less for smaller), making sure to keep them in the center of each shape and keeping them away from the edges.
7. Seal: Using the pastry brush, run a line of egg wash around the outside of the filling on the edge of the pie crust. Place the top piece over it and gently press the edges together. You shouldn't have to press hard as the egg does the work for you, but making sure all the edges touch is imperative to having them come out of the oven without leaks!
8. Wash and Sprinkle: Go over the top of each tart with your egg wash and gently sprinkle with granulated sugar or sanding sugar of your choice.
9. Bake: Allow tarts to bake for 10-15 minutes (depending on size) or until golden brown. Allow to cool on parchment paper before transferring to a cooling rack (though the entire sheet of parchment paper can be moved to a rack to reuse the pan for the next batch).
Additional Notes:
You can use almost anything as filling so if you're running low on chocolate chips (or chips of any kind for that matter), don't despair and try a little peanut butter and jelly, or even just jelly. Stray bits of candy, marshmallows or even a bit of cheese can get the job done if you're looking for a healthier alternative.

It looks like you used caramels, but they're not in the recipe ingredients list, or described in the instructions?
Oh my gosh, I was thinking I forgot about dessert! This is perfect, simple and super cute. Perfect timing, thank you!
Totally cute! You could stuff them with stuffing and gravy, too.
shiregirl2001 - I used them in half of them and they come in above in the "additional notes" section. I used a Kraft caramel and cut it in thirds. You can use anything you want really, just use up whatever bits you have on hand.
GreatFriend - You could totally use stuffing and gravy, but with something that wet inside you will need to cut vents in the top so they don't explode and look sad. ... I suggest an eye hole :)
These are cute! You can fill them with fruit or jam and make little breakfast pastries! Or something savory like cheese and nuts for a pre-dinner snack.
I humbly suggest using Nutella for this recipe.
These look amazing! I'm planning on making them in the shape of hearts for Valentine's day and drizzling some chocolate on top for some extra pizazz. ...maybe I'll make them today just to "practice"....and taste test! =-)

Shifting Communities CLOSING PARTY!
Friday, February 24th from 6-9pm
BRAC on the Block @ Bronx Art Space
305 East 140th Street, Bronx NY 10454
Bronx River Art Center (BRAC) announces the closing of its 2011-2012 exhibition program: Shifting Communities. This fourfold exhibition series and ongoing schedule of lectures, presentations, and workshops presented an exciting and eclectic mix of socially engaged artwork and community initiated events. Though endings are often bittersweet, we are thrilled with the success of the program and ask you to please join us on February 24th from 6- 9pm for a celebratory presentation of ephemera from the series. We will also be announcing the continuation of the Roundtable Series at No Longer Empty's This Side of Paradise exhibition in the Bronx's Andrew Friedman House.
The Shifting Communities exhibition series featured dynamic initiatives in culture and the arts currently at work in the art world while highlighting social practice in dialogue with the local Bronx community. The goal of this project was to create a paradigm where community-centric contemporary art and artist think-tanks could be a tool for public service; a language for the exploration and investigation of the broader aspects of culture and society; and a magnet that could bring different cultures and ideologies together in order to strengthen a more inclusive definition of community.
This final presentation will showcase follow up work and documentation from each of the Shifting Communities artists as well as notes, images, audio, and video excerpts from over twenty roundtable events. Please join us to celebrate the ending of this exhibition initiative as we look forward to future endeavors.
This exhibition is made possible with support from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency. Additional support is provided by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., Majority Leader Joel Rivera, the Bronx Delegation of the New York City Council, New York State Senator Ruth Hassell-Thompson, The National Endowment for the Arts, the Deutsche Bank Americas Foundation's Arts & Enterprise Place-Based Revitalization Program, and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
