Much interest was manifested in
this election, and Il very large vote
was polIed. There was no issue
but the endorsement dad vindica-
ton of the old Council, aud this the
Voters did By an almost one sided
vote. Much had been done by the
Old Council to push the town ahead,
and now that they have been so
heartily endorsed by the people,
much more in the way of improve
tnents is expected of them. We
congratulate these gentlemen upon
their election, and feel that the in

THE NEW JA1L.-The new Jail is
How being discussed. a certain
portion of our people want it NOV
sd from the present site to the old
Guskin's and church lot near the
fear of the court house. To this
proposition the REGISTER enters its
solemn protest, for 1T would entail
an additional expense upon the
connty, for they could not sell the
old Jail property for anything like
what the other lots would cost the
eounty. The court should in*esti-
gate the matter and see if the old
Jail could not be remoddeled, enlar-
ged and modernized. We believe
this could be done for $1,000 or
$4,000, thus saving to the tax-pay-
crs fully s2O,aGO, as between remod-
deling the OLD one and building a
new one We only throw out this
hint to call attention to these mat
tiers and have the people discuss
them. We are not opposed TO the
building of a now jail If the old one
cannot be utilized.

Cake and Cake Baking.

When cakes are made without
yeast or eggs soda or powder being
ubstituted-theyr require quick bak-
ing in a hot oven-or rather a mod
erately hot overland should be taken
from the oven just as soon as done or
they will be dry and tasteless. On
no account should the oven be too
hot when the cake is first put in, that
is, hot enough to brown at once if it
is, in five minutes the whole outside
will be burned and the inside will
stand small chance of getting cooked
at all. A good method to test the
heat of the oven is to sprinkle little
day flour inside the oven and shut the
door for about three minutes, at the
end of that time if the -four is rich,
light brown it is safe to put in the
cake but if the flour should be burnt
the oven must be permitted to cool
before putting it IN.
A plain cake made with one pound
of flour and other ingredients in pro-
portion requires from forty to fifty
minutes to cook, not over an hour at
the outside. Yeast cake takes long
er, say ten or fifteen minutes, and can
be left in the oven a little longer
without injury. Very rich cakes, in
which butter and eggs predominant.
take a much longer time to bake
thoroughly.
A pound cake takes from an houl
and half to two hours, and a bride
cake usually three and half hours.
Cake on being removed from the
oven, if it does not slip out of the tin
easily, should be allowed to set with
the tin resting on one side for few
moments when the steam will usually
cause it to loosen from the tin and
come out easily; then it should be
imme diately wrapped in clean linen
or cotton cloth and allowed to remain
until quite cold before putting away.
There are times when it is very desir-
able to know how to cut loaf OF
cake in great many pieces and yet
have them all in good shape. TIC
cut a large round cake, mark a circle
in centre by placing on the cake 9
large cup, press this slightly down SC
the impression will remain, then re-
move the cup and with thin, sharp
knife cut around in the circle thus
formed. Next make another and q
larger circle by laying saucer on
the cake and cut in the same manner
as before. The cake is now divided
in three parts ; cut each of these into
as many pieces of uniform size as
possible. Should the outer row pre-
sent sort of crumbling or democrat
lied condition appearance, put nap
kin about the cake on the outer edge,
fastening as tightly as you can with
out crowding the pieces too much to-
gather.

A Man in the Kitchen.

A mother carefully taught her ons
many details of work usually consid-
cred the sole province of girls and
concerning which boys grow up in
utter ignorance. They washed and
wiped dishes, learned to prepare
plain meals, had practice in sweep
ing and busting and putting to rights,
and were taught to patch and darn
neatly and to sew on buttons. Some
of them learned something of the
'shigher branches. When they
went out into the world they had
frequent occasion to bless the mother
for these useful accomplishments !;
and when they became heads of house
holds, they had an intelligent practi-
cal knowledge Of the details of the
work of which their wives had charge,
and were able to make the burden
easy in many ways where another
would have made it heavier.
No man worthy of the name per-
mits his wife or any woman in his
house to perform the heavy drudgery
of carrying coal and wood, caring for
furnaces and stoves, moving stoves
and heavy furniture, beating carpets,
and so on. But this need not be the
limit of mans usefulness about the
house. There is no reasonable rea-
son why man should not be able to
broil a steak, boil or bake potatoes,
cook an egg, make coffee or tea, and
prepare other articles Of food should
an emergency arise to make it desir-
able (and such emergencies do often
arise), and do it too without turning
the kitchen and dining-room topsy-
turvy in the operation. Some men
can and do accomplish such work,
and even make biscuits, griddle cakes
and the like. A woman whose hus-
band is in the habit of 'Htaking hold"
when needed in Homework has been
heard to say that she would rather
have him to depend on in case of in
disposition or other emergency than
any girl that could be hired. He
does not intefere when there is no
cause for it, but he saves labor for
his wife and expense for himself, and
he is not ashamed of doing it nor
afraid to undertake it. Nom need
be- rather any man should be asham-
ed of unwillingness and should re-
greet inability to perform any ordina-
~ household task on occasion.-G0od
