New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1889-01-10

There will be no dissent from the opinion OF
the New York Visiting Committee OF the state
Charities Aid Association in regard to the need
of reformatory for youthful criminals in this
city. Every year hundreds of boys and girls
between sixteen and twenty are sent to the
Morkhouse, where they are necessarily thrown
into contact with old offenders. Such associa-
ton is the worst possible, and 1t is no wonder
that it speedily turns the young persons into
hardened lawbreakers. This is crying de-
feet in our penal arrangements. There is no
better place TO initiate reform than in STOP
ping such manufacture of criminals.
There Is good reason to believe that the
strong arguments against the big Quaker
Bridge Dam have made deep impression On
the Aoueduct Commissio ners. and that their
decision will be adverse to the project. 1t Is
hardly necessary to say that such result would
be gratifying to THE TRIBUNE. OF the prac-
ticability and necessity Of this enterprise we
have entertained grave doubts from the first.
and nothing that has been said on the other
side has removed them. The new Aqueduct is
nearly completed, and the city will soon be
deriving the full benefit Of it without engaging
IN an undertaking of such dubious value as the
hir dam which eyea it's advocates do not claim
"a be real necessity at the present time.

These raisins are the best and most
most economc cal for cooking. They are
large, almost entirely without stems,
and cost only twelve cents a pound.
A word about boiling rice. Some cooks,
who differ as widely as doctors, say :
Boil one cupful Of rice twenty minutes
in three quarts Of water and drain
through colander when done" Others
again maintain that two cups of water or
twice It's bulk is the rule for cup of
rice. | have found the incest way to
boil rice is in a double boiler. At first |
use twice the quantity of water to rice,
adding salt and small piece of butter.
When the water is all absorbed if the
rice is not soft enough, l add a little
milk if | have it, water if | have not.
Make hard sauce with . tablespoonful
of butter and scant cup Of sugar. add

ferred the rice and raisins may be eaten

Once, in going down the river to New
Orleans at dull season when there was
not much travelling, l found myself en-
tirely without pleasant lady companions.
SO, after getting tired of reading, |

very obliging, and / spent an hour Or two
out of each day in the bake room watch,

tions. Since then | have usually gone
exactly by his directions in making
bread and rolls, except the addition of
a little sugar and the use Of home made
yeast instead of bakers yeast, which !
cannot always get in the country. |
have tried other bread recipes, but find
none to equal the following in SIMPLE ty
and certainty:
One large homemade yeast cake or
small cup Of bakers yeast, two cups of
milk warm water; add to this five level
cups of flour, measured before sitting,
and one level tablespoon of salt and
sugar; mix this into a dough and work
we'll; put in creased bucket, cover
closely and set it to rise in a warm
place in winter, a cool place in summer.
When light, which will be in four or
five hours, make into two loaves with
out any more working or adding any
flour, putting little melted butter on
top and between the loaves. Put these
in a deep baking pan, covered, and let
them rise an hour, Or a little longer If
not light in that time. Then bake in
moderate oven. Just before browning.
a little butter on top improves the crust.
A little more or less flour than is given
may be used as some -four thickens
more than others, but five cups to two of
water is as good general rule as can be
laid down. Bread may be started in the
morning and baked in six @" seven
hours, or started at night and baked in
the morning. It rises faster in warm
weather. Everybody says my bread is
superfne, light, tender and wholesome.
I'd say so, too, if excessive modesty
didn't prevent-Detroit Free Press.

Household Hints.

Boiled starch makes an excellent
paste.
The yolk of an egg is good to keep
fatironS smooth and clean.
The oftener -four is sifted for sponge
cake the lighter the cake will be.
In watering plants, put teaspoonful
of ammonia into the water once a week.
Fish may be scalded much easier by
dipping into boiling water about a
minute.
Ripe tomatoes will remove the ink
stains from white cloth and also from
the hands
Windows should be opened at both
top and bottom in order to secure proper
ventilation.
When 1atirons become rusty blacken
them with stove polish and rub we'll with

Ceilings that have been smoked with a
kerosena lamp should be washed off with
soda water.

Smoked ReefOmelet.

For fifteen cents the housewife can
buy small can OF smoked or, as some
call it, Clipped beef, 1t is cut very thin
and ready for use, thus doing away with
the necessity of buying the meat whole
and then trying to cut it with the usually
dull carving knife. Take three Of the
slices out of the box and roll them to-
gether; then cut the meat lengthwise
once, after which cut across it so as to
convert the meat into stripes. Put it
into a bowl and add three eggs and
dash of pepper. Beat it up with a fork
and pour 1t into hot, slightly creased
omelet pan. Slip a knife under 1t occa-
sionally while it is cooking to prevent
burning. If the top refuses to cook
solid tilt the pan so that it will run off
and cook on the side of the pan. When
done fold without breaking and turn on
a hot dish. Strew over it a little chopped
celery tops or parsley. Let each guest
salt his own portion, as the meat is al
ready salt enough for ordinary palates,
If not oh ected to little onion may be
added to the omelet. -Neao York Herald.

Angel Cake.

This popular cake was invented by a
St. / outs baker, who kept the formula a
secret q long time. n discharged eni-
ploye finally made it known. To four
ounces of sifted flour add enc teaspoon
full of cream of tartar; rub these through
the sieve four or five times Beat the
whites of a dozen eggs until very stiff !;
add to them gradually three-quarters of
a pound of granulated sugar. and beat
thoroughly while so doing; flavor with
a teaspoonful of vanilla extract; add the
-four to the egg foam quickly and
lightly. Line the funnel cake pan with
ungreased paper, pour in the mixture
and bake fifty minutes. When done
loosen the edges and remove from the
pan at once.-Ne0 YoLk Sun.

A Great Misfortune.

The heavy rains last fall totally ruined
crops in some localities, and its effect is now
being seen in diseases among farm animals
Almost every day cases of roup, sweiled head
and a distemper very disastrous amoug poll-
try are reported. A part of this is also due
to improper feeding Many persons think
as soon as cold weather comes on, they must
begin to feed heating food to their hens like
corn meal, &c. The result of this course is,
if they no not break down from the diseases
prevalent, they soon get very fat, look fine
and people wonder why they do not lay.
You cannot make a hen lay when every
thing you give her is being transformed into
fat, and laying the foundation of disease
same as with over fed child or person.

The Later Dew Theory.

Il Is now held by the best physicists
that, instead Of falling from above,
the dew rises 10 the earth. The gen
orally received opinion that the dew
is formed of vapor existing nj the
time in the atmosphere must be given
up for the establish fact that the
yapor which rises fran the heated
earth is trapped by the cold surface
earth. Besides, when We imagine
that, on q cool evening after a sultry
day in summer, our feet are being wet
by the dew on the grass, We make a
grave mistake. For that moisture on
the r is not dew at all, il is false
dew-in reality the transpired humoi
of the plants. The drops at the tips
which glisten diamond like, are not
dew; close examination shows that
these crystalline spheresareall situated
at the point where the veins OF tho
leaves cut the outer edges. These
drops only give evidence Of the vitali-
ty OF the plant. The difference between
the true dew on the grass and the ex-
uded drops through the veins from
within the grass can be easily distin-
Ruisbed; for the former is distributed
all over the blade in a moist film;
whereas the latter are Of some size and
-, situated near the tips Of the blade.
Altered, then, is the meaning Of the
line, 'Ilka blade o. grass KEEPS its ain
drap o'dew;" for those brilliant glob-
ules on the petal, shaking TO the same
sweet air, and often gliding at once
I'll fragrant into one" are not dew
drops, but are the exudations q the
hsalthy plants. They give evidence
u the elixir vive OF vegetation where
- the true dew is the pearly luster,
uunisbed In fLmy humidity over the
tlades by that wondrous alchemy
which transforms the water vapor
