Instinct in Cakemaking.

''Cakemakers are born, not educat-
ed, " is a grandmother's pet saying, and
judging from the limited number of
cakemakers found among intelligent
women there seems to be some truth in
it. To bake a cake successfully some
thing more than a mere rule is re-
Quired. Rules mean that all ingredi-
ents shall be in the same condition and
of uniform quality. This is impossible.
Sugar and flour are more or less damp,
and then there is a difference i'm the
quality of eggs. Better go without
cake than to make it with strong flaw
ored butter or eggs unfit for table use.
Using the so called cooking butter is
where the inexperienced cook fails. The
successful cakemaker must have GER
tain instincts for conditions, she must
know by the feel of the batter when it
is just right. 1t is only by practice and
close observation that it is possible to
master this branch of education; the
best rules must be followed and the
different conditions of the ingredients
studied. Journal.

Max Eliot is a name very well known
to New England newspaper readers.
There is scarcely a week that the
signature does not appear at the
end of a long literary article. The
owner of the signature is not a man,
but n woman. She was a Boston girl
named May Bosler, and later she be-
came Mrs Granville Ellis. A few years
ago they concluded that marriage was
q failure and were divorced. Last year
Max Eliot met her eX-husband in Eng
land, and their blighted love bloomed
anew. Tuesday they were remarked

The man without stomach may exist a
museum freak, but most of us recognize the
stomach as necessary TO life and comfort.
Most of us experience little trouble from
this source occasionally, wrong action of the
stomach causing dyspepsia, etc, and often
the trouble extends, involving the liver and
bowels, whence we find biliousness and con
stipation. We find also that the bowels and
kidneys natures sewage system become
clogged with effete matter, from which comes
impure blood, boils, blotches, scrofula, scrofu
lous swellings and cancerous complaints. The
Burdock Blood Bitters taken at the begin
ming, or at any irter stage, arrests the trouble,
restores the disordered organ to activity,
thereby removing every vestige of disease B.

GREEN COVE INSTITUTE.
State superintendent Russell Makes
the Faculty Happy.

Prof. U. j. Hoffman made a trip to
Tallahassee last week in interest of Green
Cove Institute. He found warm friend
in Hon. A. j. Russell, state superintend-
ent of public instruction.
Major Russell regretted that circum-
stance prevented him meeting his engage
ment to visit Green Cove last month, but
the fault was not his. Circumstances were
such that he could not leave the capitol at
the time.
Major Russell was much pleased to learn
of the prosperity of the school and assured
his friends in this place that he will visit US
at no distant day.
After carefully examining the courses of
study and listening to the plans of the
school as outlined by Professor Hoffman
and suggesting some things for the course
of study, he said to the professor that he
might say to the public that all graduates
of the normal or scientific courses recon-.
mended by the faculty ne would grant
state certificates This is a matter of great
importance to the Green Cove Institute, as
it will bring patronage from all over the
state. Professor Hoffman returns from
Tallahassee much pleased with the result
of his visit.-Green Cove Spring.

Death of Miss Bradford.

1t becomes our sad duty to chronicle
the death, from pneumonia, of Miss Re-
becca Bradford, who passed quietly and
triumphantly from earth this morning
at 100 o'clock. Miss Bradford leaves
behind her brother, Mr.. W. M. Brad
ford, we'll and favorably known to our
citizens, and sister, Miss Lizzie Brad
ford, who lives with her brother here,
and another, the wife Of Judge j. T. Ber-
nard of Tallahassee.
Miss Bradford was all her life con-
sistent and well-beloved member of the
Methodist church. She was the daugh-
of Thomas A. and Elizabeth Bradford,
and was born at Taladega, Ala, from
whence her parents moved to Tallahassee.
The family is one of the best of the old
time Tallahasseeans, a people known the
land over for gentility of manner and So
cial excellence. Since the Bradfords
have lived in Gainesville they have kept
bright the escutcheons of their ancestors,
and in so doing have won the confidence
and respect Of our entire community.
Why mourn, ye friends, the life of your
sister was we'll rounded and so complete,
and her death is but her entrance to the
eternal Kingdom Gainesville Gazette,

an increase at present. though they or
dered that next year the appropriation
for the sub-Stations at DeFuniak and Fl.
Myers should be increased to $4,000 for
each.
The board having ordered that the SUI
perintendents of sub-stations should live
on the farm, and it being impossible for
Mr.. L. W. Plank, superintendent of the
DeFuniak station, to obey that order, he
sent in his resignation, which was ac-
! cepted, and the board passed resolutions
of regret that he could not retain the
Office. Mr.. Stubs of DeFuniak was
elected in his place.
