Pancakes in Variety.

On cold winter mornings pancakes of
all kinds hold an important place at the
breakfast table; the buckwheat cake the
most cherished Of all. When properly
made, this is the most delicious of all
the griddlecakeS, but it has been against
it when made from yeast or risen over
night that it was difficult to make light
and sweet, and that disagreeable effects
frequently followed its eating. 1t is
found that by the use of Royal Baking
Powder to raise the batter these Objec-
tons have been entirely overcome, and
that buckwheat cakes are most deli
cious food, light, sweet, tender and per-
fectly wholesome, that can be eaten by
anyone without the slightest digestive
inconvenience. Once tested from the
follwing receipt no other will be used:
Two cups of buckwheat, one cup of
wheat flour, two teaspoons of Royal
Baking Powder, one-half teaspoon of
salt, all sifted well together. Mix with
milk into thin batter and bake at once
on hot griddle.
The purest and richest syrup is made
by dissolving sugar in the proportion of
three pounds of sugar to one pint of
water. Many persons prefer the flavor
of syrup made of Orleans sugar to that
made Of the white.
Rice griddle cakes are very delicious.
The rice is cooked until perfectly soft,
drained dry, mashed with a spoon until
the grains are well broken up. For each
oupful of rice take two eggs, one pint
of milk, one heaping teaspoon of Royal
Baking Powder, one-half teaspoon of
salt, and flour enough to make a thin
batter.
For hominy cakes take two cupfuls
of cooked h0miny, and crush it with
potato masher Until it is smooth mass,
Add one level teaspoon of salt, two tea
spoOnfuls of Royal Baking Powder.
and one cupful of -four. Stir together:
then add by degrees one quart of milk,
and lastly three well beaten eggs. Bake
in thin cakes.
Very delicate and delicious cakes are
made by allowing two teaspoons of
Royal Baking Powder and one.haif tea.
spoon Of salt to one quart of milk, and
sufficient corn meal, mixing all into a
smooth thin batter; no eggs or butter
are used for these. The cakes bake
quickly to rich deep brown, and are
extremely tender and light.
\ very delicious, sweet pancake is
make by taking one pint Of sweet milk,
four eggs, two tablespoons of melted
butter, one teaspoOnful Of Royal Bak-
ing Powder, and flour enough to make
a moderately thin batter. Beat the
eggs, whites and yelks separately, until
well frOthed stir the butter, sugar and
one cupful of flour into which the bak-
ing-powder has been mixed, into the
yelks then add the milk. If needed add
more flour. Bake In small cakes, butter
each one as it comes from the fire, place
four in pile, with very thin layers Of
any kind of sweet jelly between and
powdered sugar over the top. They
should be baked very thin and four
served to each person,

THE appointment of Frank Camp
bell as railway commissioner is one of
the best of Gov. Larrabee's customa-
rily wise appointments. Campbell was
not known as probable successor of
Coffin, and when it was announced
that he had been selected only surprise
was expressed. 1t is concession to
neither faction that besieged the gov
ernor, and yet it will be acceptable if
not agreeable to both. The appointee
has been chief of radicals, but is a
man of extensive and varied business
experience, acts upon business princi,
pies; so that with honest purpose he
will doubtless prove valuable man
to the state and to the railroads.

order was rescinded in three hours after
given out.
The striking switchmen have COM
mitted acts of lawlessncss, the odium of
which has in measure attached to the
engineers, who as an organization have
maintained that orderly bearing which
has always characterized it with dignity.
A great many unfortunate circum
stances have occurred to throw discredit
upon this model organization of intelli-
gent laboring men, but so far as acts,
that can be directly attributed to their
authority are concerned, they have not
varied from their purpose to do no bust
ness for the "Q". The brotherhoods
have had no trouble with other compa-
MES OH any other subject, only continu-
ing, in all cases, the struggle commenc-
ed with 20" officials.
A statement made in the dispatches
of yesterday, purporting to issue from
the grand secretary of the conductors
brotherhood and denouncing the engi
neers, is also calculated to weaken the
cause of the latter and create dissatis-
faction.
1t should be kept plainly in view that
the whole trouble is between the broth
erhood and the 20" and that all other
issues are introduced by enemies or
fool friends.
Dispatches of today state that the
boycott of so freight on other roads is
declared off and employees have return
ed to work. This leaves the fight direct
between the 20" and the organizations,
without effect on other lines. 1t will
be long contest.
