The Kitchen Range.

The management of the kitchen
range is one of the housewives ac-
eomplishments. The first necessity
is cleanliness. A range clogged with
ashes will never bake satisfactorily,
neither can a clear, bright fire be kept
up in it. The CRATES must be Gear
of cinders and ashes, and the fuel
must be put in with some regard for
uniformity. Do not pile the coal or
wood all in one end, but place it
evenly, so as to distribute the fire over
the CRATE.
Open the hampers until the fire is
well under way No time is gained
by trying to save a fire at the outset.
Let it come up briskly, and as soon as
it is clearand bright close the hampers
and take care of it.
In baking cake, the proper temper
ture will brown the cake as soon as it
has risen. The top should be even in
color, and will not crack if the oven
is right IF the oven is too hot the
cake will bake too rapidly at the
edges, and as it must rise somewhere
will burst in the middle, and some
times pour over the already baked
edges.
Bread should never bake too rapidly
at first. Too much heat prevents
rising, and the bread will be soggy
even though it is well done.
Great care must be taken that
neither bread nor cake is dropped or
- 4 fz saIr 20
cause a heavy streak through the loaf.
To tell if the cake is done thrust u
clean broom straw into the middle.
If it comes out dry and clean the cake
is done. 1t is, however, best to leave
it for moment to become thoroughly
done. Nothing is more unwholesome
than half-baked cake.
Many cooks test cake by wetting
the finger and tapping the bottom of
the pan. IF the metal Misses the cake
or bread is supposed to be done.
Some cooks take bread or cake from
the pan at once; others leave it for a
moment to steam, when it will come
out more easily. 1t may be covered
with a cloth and left to cool. If cake
is to be frosted it is well to have the
frosting done at once.
The most manageable frosting is
made by breaking the whites of two
eggs in a dish with cup of powdered
or confectioner's sugar. Beat the
sugar and eggs together, and add
sugar as long as it will be taken up by
the egg. Put it upon the cake at
once. This is the easiest and simplest
way of making frosting. and one that
the inexperienced will do well te
adopt.-New York Ledger.

In a small private room in the palace
of the Tuileries, in Paris, two men were
sitting. One, a young gentleman about
five and twenty years of age, occupied a
desk near the window that looked out
upon broad, inclosed court, where a
sentinel, in blue coat and red pegtop
trousers, WAS pacing his beat. There
was quantity of papers on the desk,
and the young gentleman was writing u
summary OF the contentssof these on the
backs Of them and filing them away. A
light snow was falling outside and melt
ing as it fell, for the winter of eighteen
hundred and sixty-nine was still linger-
ing in the first months of eighteen hun
bred and seventy.
The other parsonage in the room was
man Of mature years. He was barely
of middle height, but his figure WAS com
pact, and his SHOULDERS broad AMI thick.
His face, somewhat Qashy about the
jaws, and OF uull complexion, had an
aqulIlne nose, Il carefully waXed mus
tache and Il pointed imperial. the eyes
were wide apart, and the heavy lids
dropping over them gave them SOM
c3lent aspect; ."et, examining them more
intentively, you would perceive That
they Were eyes that nothing escaped
-watchful, penetrating, inpenetrable
eyes. For the :ast this coun5enance bore
the marks of anxiety AMI ill health;
there were heavy lines beneath the eyes,
the forehead WIS furrowed and the hair
was thin on its conical summit. Withal
both face and figure had certain dig
nifty and power as to one accustomed to
being unquestioningly obeyed. The man
wore n black broadcloth coat, white
waistcoat and gray trousers. Diagonally
across his breast lay broad, blue sash.
He was leaning back in his chair smok-
ing cigarette, and seemingly plunged
in meditation.
A knock came at the door, The
younger man rose. walked to the door
and opened it. After q brief colloquy
he turned and said in French: "Sire,
there is person here who desires an au-
dience. He says
"What name, RaonlF' interrupted the
other.
"Solange, sire"
Every good. He comes by appoint
ment. Let him enter. And you, my
dear Raoul, will take your place behind
the thin partition during the interview.
hope to be able to trnst this man, but
it will be necessary to take precaution."
The Young man bowed, Mt the same
time throwing open the door to admit
the visitor, and himself passing out and
closing it behind him. The newcomer
on entering made military salute, and
then stood, cap in hand, with his eyes
fixed on the inscrutable visage before
him. lie was near fifty years of age, of
vigorous physique, with thick, mus
cular neck, black hair cropped short.

Mucous, but IL was the Jury's duty to
pronounce as to the facts. And their YER
dict. besides aveuging the death of an
honorable and hOnored citizen, would
show the world that in the city of New
York there was but one law for rich and
poor, for gentle and simple.
The judge, in summing up, said that
the jury must confine themselves to the
legal evidence that had been produced in
court. The statements of the prisoners
counsel regarding the prisoners motives
and explanations did not come under
this head. They might or might not be
true. but the jury could not consider
them. On the other hand, the testimony
as to the short man with the dark beard
should receive their careful attention. 1t
might be Of Importance. All the evil
dence against the prisoner was circum-
stantial. There had been instances of
such evidence being fatally mistaken
but such cases were as one to ton thou
sand where 1t had been correct. and it
was sometimes even preferable to direct
evidence itself. His address was short
and impartial, and at its close the jury
retired for deliberation.
They remained out eighteen hours.
When they re-entered court the room
was nearly empty. In answer to the
clerks question the foreman said that
their verdict was guilty of murder in the
second degree, generalization not having
been established. 1t was. as some of the
jurors afterward explained in interviews
with the reporters, a deed done in the
heat of passion over the refusal of Trent
to listen to Darlle's proposaI-the hasty
outcome of Il quarrel between two men
both loving the same young woman.
The judge sentenced the prisoner to
Imprisonment at hard labor for life
Motion for II new trial WAS denied.
The prisoner was taken back to the
Tombs, and arrangements We're made to
send HIM to Sing Sing that night.

Senator Plumb's Funeral.

EMPoRIA, Kan, Dec. 24.-All that is
mortal of the late Preston b. Plumb was
placed beneath his native soil to-day. The
city is in mourning, flags on pubic build
ings were displayed at half-mast, business
houses were draped in black and on nearly
every private residence, were displayed
emblems of mourning. The service of the
day commenced with private funeral serv-
ice at the family residence of, the simplest
nature. 1t was attended only by the mem
bers of the family, the Congressional dele
cations and few intimate friends. The
service consisted only Of prayer and the
singing of hymn. The funeral car was
then escorted to the church. On the ar
rival at the church the casket was placed
upon catafalque and the lid removed.
AT 2 o'clock funeral services were held at
the church, at the conclusion of which the
procession reformed and proceeded to the
cemetery, where the remains of the dis
tinguished Senator were placed in their
last resting place.
Mrs. Plumb and Amos, the elder son,
were too i'll to attend the services at the
church. w. II. Plumb, the Senator's
father, and three brothers, accompanied
the other children. At the cemetery the
services were conducted by the Grand
Army Of the Republic. At the conclusion
Of the services three comrades stepped
forward and each deposited a beautiful
floral wreath upon the casket as the body
was lowered into the grave. Three vol
leys were fired by the Emporla guard, the
bugler sounded "taps" and the multitude
dispersed.

The Barnaby- Graves Case.

DENVER, Dec. 24.-In the Graves trial
to-day Mel Dahl, chemist, was called to
the stand. He said arsenite of potassium
was commonly used as medicine in the
shape of Fowler's solution. The formula
OF compromising arsenite of potassium is
very simple. Witness made tests to lind
arsenic often. Witness explained a num-
Der OF tests, and said after mirrors were
obtained in little glass tubes it was neces-
sary TO test them to prove what they were
There were many vegetable alkoloids
which could not be detected in the system
after being taken.
Sallie Hanley, Mrs. Barnaby's former
maid, said Graves introduced her to Mrs.
Barnaby and through his influence Mrs
Barnaby adopted her as 8 travelling COM
panion and maid She informed Graves of
Mrs. Barnaby's intention of purchasing q
house from Bennett. This was the cause
of threat from Graves to Mrs. BarnaDy
OF appoin ting guardian.
DR.. Graves then went on the witness
stand. He said he made the acquaintance
of Mrs. Barnaby three years ago. Shortly
after she engaged him as physician. After
the death of Mr.. Barnaby, he ad-
vised Mrs. Barnaby to contest the
will and suggested Lawyer Ballou.
After the compromise he had become
Mrs. Barnaby's agent. He said he never
advised Mrs. Barnaby to make an affidavit
that Maud Barnaby was not her daughter.
He denied having told Mrs. Barnaby her
husband had wllled 800, COO to his mistress.
He also denied having said anything
against the BENEFITS, as he knew nothing
injurious TO them. The doctor said Mrs.
Barnaby was very extravaganza and spent
SIG, 600 in one year. AS her agent, he OBJ
jected to this. He did not know how much
Mrs. Barnaby bequeathed him until her
will was read after her death.

Garcia Crosaea Into Mexico.

LAREDO, Texas, Dec. a4.-Reports re-
ceived from Carrie, in Zapata county,
where Captain Hardie's troop of United
States cavalry is stationed, to the effect
there is no doubt Garcia has crossed with
900 men into Mexico at points between
that city and Brownsville. 1t is also stated
Garcia's men were met by Mexican troops
at Los Torillas, seventy miles from the
border, defeated the latter; that there
were about forty men killed on both sides.
This Is doubtless authentic, as it comes
from an officer on the ground.
News via Neuava Loredo has just been
received here that Captain Hardie's troop
of United States cavalry and number Of
officers and rangers from this city, who
were at Carrie, Zapata county, some sixty
miles below here, left that place for points
down the river toward Rio Grande City,
where another band Of Garcia's men are
reported to be getting ready to cross into
Mexico. The report state the revolution
lists are about one hundred and fifty in
number, and if the United States troops
meet them fight will doubtless ensue.

Nettleton on WINDOWS Estimates.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24-The attention of
the treasury department was recently
called by correspondent to newspaper
statement to the effect that in the annual
estimate of receipts and expenditures for
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1891, the late
Secretary Window overestimated the re-
ceipts of revenue s52, 600 and underes-
timated the disbursements s67, 1000, 900. The
facts shown by the books of the depart
ment are given in the following letter from
Assistant Secretary Nettleton to II. l..
Earle Of Washington. The published
statement is entirely erroneous. In the
annual report of Secretary Window the
estimates Of total receipts, including
postal service, were S472 100000 TIE &C
tual receipts proved to be S4S1, 907, 946.
Remembering the tariff legislation Of the
Mckinley bill made radical changes, most
of which took effect after the date of the
report, the estimate made by him Decem-
Der was signally correct. In the same
report Window estimated the tota
expenditures, including disbursements for
postal service, to be 1920, 200 for the
same fiscal year. The actual expenditures
prove 10 be s444, S57, 76S, an excess of nearly
$3.50, 900 over the estimate. This excess is
almost wholly accounted for by the expen-
ditures growing out of legislation enacted
and judicial decisions rendered after the
date of the report, which, therefore, Id
not nave Eeen taken into contemplation in
the estimate. The prin ipal item OF this
kind is 81, 521, 600, refund of direct taxes.

SURPRISING Monasteries in Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. PA collision
to-day near Cuernevaca on the Southern
railroad, resulting in the death of twelve
persons.

to the police and troops closing four
monasteries in Pueblo, on the ground that
the maintenance of these institutions is
contrary to law. On the carrying out of
the judges orders to-day the people re-
VOTED and fight between the people on
one side and the police and soldiers on the
other followed, during which one person
was killed and four others wounded. Ac-
counts of the affair are conflicting. The
clergy on the one hand assert they were
torn from the affairs, leaving the sacrament
exposed, dragged through the streets by
the troops and subjected to many humilia-
tions. The populace rose en- masse and
offered considerable resistance to the
troops, crying: viva la religion. Death

Facts Pointing to War With Chill.

CHICAGO, Dec. PA Washington special
says: There are some facts that point
strongly to the probability of war. The
war department is forw arding recruits
in squads of forty or fifty as rapidly as
possible to fill the complement Of regi
ments in the far west and on the Pacific
coast. General Schoield said 10000 men
were available to send out of the country,
but no more could be spared from the reg
ular army. Gun carriages are being ship
ped to San Francisco in sections, and the
guns will follow at an early date. General
Schofield has been twice summoned before
the cabinet and given 1t as his opinion il
10000 men are sent out of the country 1t
will be quite posi-, lie to fill their places in
the regular army at home by temporary
enlstments from the militia. A certain
quota of regulars, equipped for actual serv-
ice at army posts, is to be called for from
each state. in case 10, GOO men transported
to Chilli should not be enough it is reported
the President may call for 10000 volun-
teers for year.
