The latest application of paper 10 the
adoption OF plates made of that material by
some of the great restaurants OF Berlin.
They were first introduced last summer by
the landlord of an open-air restaurant, and
they were so pretty, looking much like
porcelain, that the public took a fancy to
them, and so cheap and little liable to
break that the eating house people consid'
cred them a valuable acquisition. Now
they are being introduced into great num-
Der of restaurants, though OF course they
cannot be used for liquids.

of improved cattle cars sent to Chicago, In
competition for the prize offered for the
best invention in that line, and many others
ore known to exist which their inventors
think toe valuable TO part with for the prize.
They represent nearly every State, beside
Canada, England and Switzerland, ano
though it will be some time before the de-
scriptions can be prepared and the respec

PoINTs IN CAKE MAKING.-The butter
should be perfectly sweet and tree from
butIermilk; the butter and sugar should
be thoroughly beaten together. Powdered
sugar is preferable 10 granulated, as the
latter is slow in dlssolving; the whites OF
the eggs should be beaten To q stiff froth,
and added to the sugar, fruit
should be rolled in flour ana added at
the last moment. Soda should be pulver-
lZed and sifted into the cake with the
flour. The hand or a wooden spoon is
Lest for mixing cake. An important point
Is the heat OF the oven. The cake should
begin TO bake at once, but should not
Drown Immediately. The oven door
should be seldom opened wnlle the cake is
In. The gem-pans are excellent for bak-
Ing cake, 1lrst heating them as for Graham
gems.

he says: "Noone, unless he is grossly lgno-

Will, in the first place, receive more relief
