Pancakes in Variety.

IdHCdhtS LII ' Variety.
| On cold winter mornings pan cakes
of all kinds hold an important place at
the breakfast table; the buckwheat
cakes the most cherished of all. When
properly made, this is the most de-
licious of all the griddle cakes,
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 frequent
ly followed its eating. 1t is found that
by the use of the Royal Baking Powder
to raise the batter these objections
have been entirely overcome, and that
buckwheat cakes are made a most de
| liciOuS food, light, sweet, tender and
perfectly wholesome, that can be eaten
by anyone without the slightest digest
i've inconvenience. Once tested from
the following receipt no other will be
used: Two cups of buckwheat, one
cup of wheat flour, two tablespoons
of Royal Baking Powder, one half
teaspoonful of salt, all sifted we'll to-
gether Mix with milk into thin
batter, and bake at once on a hot
griddle.
The purest and richest syrup is
made by dissolving sugar in the pro-
portion of three pounds of sugar to
one pint or water. Many persons pre-
fer the flavor of syrup made of Orleans
syrup to that made of the white.
Rice griddle cakes are very delicious.
The rice is cooked until perfectly soft,
drained dry, mashed with spoon until
the grains are well broken up For
each cupful of rice take two eggs, one
pint of milk, one heaping teaspoonful
of Royal Baking Powder, one half
teaSpoonful of salt, and flour enough
to make thin batter.
For hOminy cakes take two cup
fuls of cooked hominy, and crush it
with a potatomasher until it is a
smooth mass. Add one level teaspoon
full of salt, two teaspoonfuls of Royal
Baking Powder, and one cupful of
flour. Stir together, and add by de-
grees one quart of milk, and three
well beaten eggs, Bake in thin cakes.
Very delicate and delicious cakes
are made by allowing two teaspoonfuls
of Royal Baking Powder and one
half teaSpoonful of salt to one quart
of milk, and sufficient corn meal mix
ing all into smooth, thin batter; no
eggs or butter are used for these. The
cakes bake quickly to a rich, deep
brown, and are extremely tender and
light.
\ very delicious sweet pancake is
made by taking one pint of sweet
milk, four eggs, two tablespoonfuls of
powdered sugar, two table spoonfuls
of melted butter, one teaspoonful of
Royal Baking Powder, and flour
enough to make a moderately thin
batter. Beat the egg, whites and vc,hs
separately, until well frothed, stir the
butter. sugar and one cupful of flour,
into which the baking 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 True Method

OF curing habitual constipation, and
liver and kidney ills is to avoid the
use of the bitter drastic liver med
icines and cathartics, and to take only
the pleasant liquid fruit remedy, Syrup
of Figs. 1t cleanses as well as
strengthens the system, and does not
leave the bowels costive, so that reg
ular habits may be formed, and
the invalid permanently restored to
health. 1t acts promptly and effect
lively; it is easily taken, and perfectly
harmless. For sale by John Horn,

THE GAMBLERS ADVICE.

II is said that the devil can quote
scripture, On occasions, with great flu
eucy, when it serves his purpose, and the
statement appears more pslps0le after
residing the resolutions adopted by the
Chicago board of trade and sent TO the
United States Congress, the preamble of
which reads, "Tbe desire 70 accumulate
sudden wealth by doubtful means Is a
growing evil" The board of trade
meant, of course, deliberate swindling or
safe robbing, but il there is an institution
on the face of the globe, the me moers of
which make en- open profession Of "accu-
mulating sudden wealth by doubtful
mesns," tb.t institution Is surely tae

prove street, and there never has been
an improved street run TO the corporate
limits On the South Side which did not add
to the value OF property lying outside con-
tiguous to the line, but no alderman
ever opposed such Improvement inside
the corporation because those on the out
side refused to come in.
When citizens OF the South Side beyond
the corporate limits asked for water con-
nections, no alderman rose up and said,
"Come into the corporation and you can
have it," but the city to-day is furnish
ing people outside the city with water at
the regular rates.
What alderman has ever protested
against the attendance in city schools OF
the children Of men living outside the
city, and demanded what Mr.. Dsggett
now demands as the consideration OF his
support?
These schools and this water is made
possible BY the taxes ot men within the
corps,ate lines. Shall got aldermen pro-
tect these taxpayers against the
Favored few" who live beyond the cor
porate limits on the South Side, who toll
not, neither do they spin, to pay city
echool and water tsxes; aud yet no in
slider gets better tuition or purer water
than any OF these? Surely patriotism
aDd regard fer public funds shall not be
determined by the points of the compass.
This bridge is public NECESSITY to city
and county. 1t could not be located else
where than it is and give the same fair
deployment to the travel over it. 1t is
inside the corporate limits. The county
has agreed 20 pay one-third the cost OF q
city improvement. The city should meet
the county halfway, Or Confess that oil
its professions of c1atsire for unity with
the county are sfJund and fury signifying
nothing. p.

All THERE

Uncle Sam IS more particular just now
than he has ever been before about the
condition, character and previous condi-
ton OF those Wh0 seek his territory as an
asylum. Time was when Immigrants Of
all characters and OF no characters were
welcomed and for those OF the tenderer
sex good round sum IN LEST tobacco was
readily paid, it being as good as the current
coin o. the realm. Al present no such
welcome is extended. There are num-
bar of ex-convicts from New Caledonia
on their way 10 the Pacif past and the
minions of Uocle Sam sreNh the lookout
for them, and 1t ia proposed to prevent
their landing. Msay Of these ex-convjcts
are hardened criminals, others are merely
political offenders, but all are to be pro-
hibited from landing and will be COM
pelled to return to the land OF their
birth. It is wise move on the part OF
our government, and one that should De
