Hop Yeast and Brend-Mahine
Republican

The recipes quoted below are taken from
the "Appiedore Cook Book edited by Miss
Maria Parloa, of Boston, and are endorsed
by good cooks:
Hop Yeast-Pare and boil one dozen
mealy potatoes tthey will boil in thirty
minutes y as soon as you put the potatoes
on to boil, put handful of hops INTO an
other kettle with three quarts Of cold water,
cover and boil. When the potatoes are
boiled, drain and mash fine; then strain
the hop-water through a fine scive, on the
potatoes (be sure that the hops are boiling
when they are strained on the potatoes,)
and stir well then add one-half cup of
sugar one-fourth of salt, and one pint Of
-four; mix this well and strain through q
culeuder, let it stand until it is milk
warm, then stir in one cup of good yeast,
and set it to rise where it will bo warm. 1t
will rise in five hours if the yeast is good.
You can tell when it is risen by the white
foam, which will rise to the top. When
risen, put it in stone jug and cork tight.
1t is good plan TO tie the cork down, as it
sometimes flies out. Set it in the ice chest
or on the cellar bottom. Make one-third
this quantity in summer if your family is
small.
Hop Yeast Bread-Take four good sized
potatoes, peel, boil, and mash and pour on
to them one quart of boiling water strain
the whole through sieve; let this get
biood-warm, and then stir into it one cup
of yeast, and a tablespoonful of white SUI
gar, one tablespoonful Of salt, and enough
-four to make a stiff batter (about three
and half quarts.) Beat we'll with a
spoon and set in warm place to rise. In
the summer it will rise in four hours, in the
winter it will take five. When well risen
add enough aour SO that it can be nodded,
and one tablespoonful of lard, then kneat1
twenty minutes, adding only flour enouah b
to prevent the dough from sticking. NM
put the dough in a pau again and let Il
rise one hour, and then form into loavsS.
Do not have over pint bowl full of dou; b
in loaf Let the loaves rise forty minr 3
and bake forty-five minutes. Bread made
in this way cannot be excelled.

Bill Drawbar is the kiudest-hearted
man that ever twisted break; lie
would not hurt kitten. Neverthe-
less he scared poor Old Mrs Lone,
the widow, so bad that she had ner-
vous hysteria for two weeks, aud
then married Deacon Fourscore be-
cause she was afraid to sleep alone.
You see, Bill WIS making up Sec

cd TO cross the track at the upper end
of The yard Bill yelled to the other
breakman:
"Jump on her, Benz Jump on her
as she comes down; cut her in two,
and run her down the siding dehind

g vernnent Women.

Who are they? Mostly people who
are depending on the bounty of the
government for support-women who
have husbands, fathers or brothers in
the army, navy or civil services, and
whose uncles, cousins and aunts will
be found in cosy corners living of
the salaries they never earn.
These women move about in what
is known as government circles.
Their sons are being educated at ono
of the government academies, or are
getting their start in life in the Ge-
odetic, Geological or Coast Surveys,
and drawing good salaries besides.
They are the pests of national life
in Washington, and not a newspaper
man here but could name hundred
of them and give list of their de-
pendents in the department. But
they are powerful.--New YORK

The expression of satisfaction at
the killing of Keyes, the thief, by
young Dennis Saturday night is gen
eral, and many believe that Dennis
would have been perfectly justified
In giving Keyes' companion dose
of the same medicine. Ordinarily
the killing of man sends a thrill of
horror through community, but so
much lawlessuess has prevailed of
late that people cannot help but ex-
perience feeling of satisfaction that
one of the thugs has met his just de
serts.--Trinidad Advertiser.

Because Colorado has more and
better coal than any state or foreign
country in the world, because she
has immense quantities of iron ere
easily reached and of the finest quail
ity, she will enjoy in this "age of
iron" a career of such prosperity az
the states which rely merely on agri-
cultural resources may envy but can
never experience. We have gold,
silver, copper, tin, zinc, lead, farming
lands, climate, hot springs and few
other resources that we intend te
mention occasionally, but our "speei
atty is coal and iron. Last yeai
there were 1,79l,732 tons of Goa
mined in this state, not bad show
ing for the present but trifiing com
pared to what the future will dis
close.-Pike's Peak Herald.

Solorado and the STORMS

Colorado and the Storms.
The storm which passed over Ne
braska and Kansas within the past
few days was dreadful. The suffer-
ing was and still is intense, and the
loss of life will probably be shown
to be very great.
although we have had severe
weather in Colorado, we have as yet
received no reports to indicate that
the people have suffered like the in
habitants of the neighboring States.
The protection which the noun
tains afford is seen in the fact that
many storms pass to the eastward
without striking Colorado. They
seem to originate in Montana and
other parts of the Northwest. but the
mountain ranges prevent them from
spreading out over large area until
they get to the eastward of Denver.
Even the people who live on the
plains in the eastern part of the State
do not appear to suffer as much as do
those who reside in Nebraska and
Kansas.
For all of this we are indeed thank
full. 1t presents another illustration
of the superiority of this climate over
that of other parts of the Union.
We do not doubt, however, that
many persons in the East think of
Colorado as bleak, barren, dreary
waste, as cold and uninviting as ST.
IBERIA. But time will reform this, az
it has many other errors. The truth
will become known after awhile, and
the people will not stop in Nebraska
and Kansas, for fear of the cold of
the mountains, nor go to California
IN search of brighter skies and
purer air than we enjoy.-Denver

Tu1T JJyCERT1IN CEILING.

Gentlemen who ran for the Assembly last
fall without success are not 1cei-
ing as badly as they did. AS
they read the dispatches from Albany
telling of the alarming condition of the ceiling
Of the Assembly Chamber. it must occur to
them that after all the post of honor is the
nrivate station. 1t may be pleasant to bask in
the sunlight of legislative publicity beneath a
pcrfcctly stunning stone ceiling II one 'ccls
perfectly sure that the ceiling, like Mahomcts
coffin, will disobey the law OF gravitatlon'
But the one hundred and twcnty-eight Assem-
blvmen-many of whom are bald-may well re-
card publc life as a joyless thing, as they
reflect that at any moment ton or so ol
granite is liable TO take them on Their re-
sncctivc unprotected heads. "The chunk OF
old red sandstone" that smotc an honored
member Of the Society on the StanlSlaus IN
the abdomen is understood TO have weighed
Int a small fraction of ton. And yet the
consequences were most serious. The society
adjourned sine die, and as for the member that
was hit:
He smiled sort of sckly smile and cured on the
floor - -
And the subsequent proceedings interested MN no
more. -,
COMPARISONS arc odious, but taxpayers will
draw them. The total cost of the old CAPITOL
whose cornerstone was laid in 1906, was
SllO.6S5 AZ. The cost to date of the still I'M
finished new Capitol whose cornerstone was
lad in 1871, Is something over Sl7,OOOOOo.
The old Capitol was comparatively unostcnta-
tious, but no legislator took his life and an
accident insurance policy in his hand when
he crossed the threshold of its lower house.
:he new Capitol is supcrlativcy ostcntatious,
hut according to present appearances the gor-
ceous Assembly Chamber will have to be
abandoned for = season until its ceiling is taken
down or furnished with additional supports.
Those who erected the old Capitol perhaps
luilded better than they knew. Some Of those
who have been engaged in the erection of the
new Capitol either buildcd worse than they
knew. or else they knew altogether too little
for the work in hand.
resolution has been introduced in the As
scmbly which provides for committee of ex-
perts TO report upon the condition of the cell
ing. The public would like to know one other
ching about the ceiling. They would like to
know if somebody is not responsible for it.
Who authorized it? Who constructed it? 1t
would have a wholesome effect if the blame
could be placed where ii belongs.
