The TERN PoRTE--The term Porte, -
which is used to denote the administrative
government of the Ottoman Empire, and in
cludes the Sultan, the Grand NiZer, and the
great Council of State, had its origin in this
way In the famous institutes established
by the Warrior Sultan, Mahcmed IL, the
Turkish body polite was describe by the
metaphor Of stately tent whose dome rest
ed upon four pillars. The Niziers formed
the first pillar, the Judges the second, the
Treasurers the third, and the Secretaries the
fourth The chief seat OF government was
fguratively named The Lofty Gate OF the
Royal Tent, in allusion to the practice of
earlier times when the Ottoman rulers sat at
the tent door to administer justice. The
italian translation of this name was La
Porto Sublima" This phrase was modified
in English to the Sublime Porte, and final
ly the adjective has been dropped, leaving it
simply The Porte"

BAKING GRIDDLE CAKES.-There are
few persons who do not love buckwheat
cakes and griddle cakes of various kinds,
but baking them on the ordinary iron
griddle is regarded as such nuisance.
from the smoke and smell they create.
that the luxury is much less frequently
INDUCED than the appetite Graves. We
find that it is not generally known that
griddle cakes can be baked with as little
smell or smoke as loaf OF bread in an
oven. To do this it is necessary only to
use a soapstone instead OF an iron griddle.
1t is one of the best cooking utensils ever
invented, but has never attained the popu-
larity it deserves, because very few people
know how to use it. The surface should
be carefully cleaned with piece of
brown paper at brief intervals during the
baking, and when done it should be
thoroughly cleaned with 8 piece of sand
paper. This last is an absolute requisite
of success. No grease of any kind is
needed. and consequently no unpleasant
odor created, while single stone will
last for years in almost constant use. Any
person who thus used it once wilt never
want to do without it. This statement is
based on an experience of many years
