Cows In q Palace.

One of the most renowned buildings in
Europe is the great "Winter Palace" in
st. Petersburg, built in the reign Of the
Empress Elizabeth Petrovna.
Successive imperial families have taken
up their residence in this palace, the last
Emperor being the Gar Alexander IL.
After the mysterious dynamite explosion
which was effected in this Empelor's pri-
vate dining-room an investigation was
commanded, and list made of such per-
sons as were employed in the palace,
when it was found that over and above
the army of regular employees as many as
four hundred people in no way on the
list were living there!
And extraordinary as it may appear,
on further investigation a we'll regulated
farm in full operation was discovered un'
der the imperial roof! There was poul-
try yard, piggery, and several cows,
the owner of this extensive estate making
comfortable profit on the sale of his
produce to the royal kitchen.-NeU York
journal.

CAKE MAKING.

"Cake makers are born, not educa-
Gated" was one of grandmother pet
sayings.
And there seems to be some truth in
it, judging from the small number Of
first-class cake makers we find among in
telligent women.
To bake cake successfully something
more than a mere rule is required. Rules
mean that all ingredients shall be in the
same condition and of uniform quality,
else there is no absolute certainty of uni
form results. This is practically impos-
sible. Flour and sugar will be more or
less damp, and fruit varies in thousand
ways. eggs are eggs" it is said, but
there is such difference in their size
that one might dispute, at least, one
sense of the statement. The successful
cake baker must have an instinct for con-
ditions, must know by the feel of the
batter when it is just right. Until this
branch of education is fully mastered,
and only practice and close observation
will assure it, the best rules must be fol-
lowed, and the varying qualities and
conditions of the ingredients must be
carefully studied.
To secure success only the best mate
rials must be used. Better go without
cake than make it with strong or rank
favored butter, or eggs which are unfit
for table use. Either will detract from
the flavor of the cake, and although heat
is great purifier, it does not always re-
move the Objectionable taste of inferior
materials. This is point on which in
experienced cooks go wong. So-called
cooking butter is unfit for fastidious
taste.
If the yolSs of the eggs are used, they
should be beaten to cream with the
butter and the sugar. The whites of the
eggs, the -four aud the milk may be put
in at the same time, and the whole must
then be thoroughly mixed. Add baking
powder just before the batter is ready
for the tins, and beat vigorously for half
minute; then put in tins lined with
buttered paper, and bake in moderate
ly quick oven.-Neso York Ledger.

reproduce occasionally, too, but It ID
very hard to raise the young, they are so
susceptible to cold. Hippos are very
scarce. If minc should die wouldn't
know where to get another in America.
'sI'll tell you what make rattling good
stock. Kangaroos. They are cheap enough,
youlknow. They are still huge droves IN
Australia, and the natives catch them
very easily with dogs trained to seize the
animals by their tails. You know a
kangaroo's tail is his rudder, balancing
staff and walking stick. Without the
use of this he is nothing but pair OF
huge legs, which may carry him any
where but in the direction he wants to
go. So he is easily captured, and only
brings about $3.50 if he is of the red va
riety, or $75 If he Is rat Kangaroo.
Kangaroos live for many years in cap
tivity, and reproduce frequently. A
good female will bring forth two itters
of two each year, and raise the young.
The stock keeps on increasing so that we
have to keep selling off continually"
''How about bears2"
"Oh, bears" said Mr.. Bailey, "are as
good stock as can be had. They are all
extremely hardy and long lived. They
are easily kept and not subject to disease.
The genuine original grizzly, I am sorry
to say, is getting exceedingly scarce.
There is probably not single one east
of California, and only know of one in
California. tried very hard to get that
fellow, but the owner simply wouldn't
sell at any price. I offered him $1,000
cash down. You see any number OF
grizzlies in menageries and shows, of
course. We've got very fine one down
stairs. Most people think they are the
original North American grizzlies, but
they are not. They are of the SILVER
tipped variety, which are still plentiful
enough if you know where to go for
them, and are worth about $3.50 each for
extra fine specimens. Cinnamon bears
are harder to get than silver-tipped griz-
zl1es, and If light colored are worth $500
each. Of course, the brown bear, though
nearly extinct in the East, is common
enough yet, and inexpensive. George
Conklin bought three several years ago
for $5 apiece"
Mr.. Bailey says that it requires a net
outlay of SIS, 900 year to keep the Bar
mum menagerie up to the mark. OF this
loss about $40, 900 is occasioned by the
death of animals and $4,000 by deteriora-
ton in the value of stock through age
and sickness. The menagerie sells ami
mails each year to the average amount of
$4,000. The animals sold are the increase
through propagation and those which
have become shabby and spiritless through
age. These worn-out animals are pur-
chased by small travelling showmen, to
whom they are sold at inconsiderable
prices.

WISE WORDS.

The cheerful giver is a very lonesome
man.
Stinginess costs more than extrava-
gance.
The only real giver in the world is the
cheerful giver.
The virtues and vices sometimes live
very close together.
Nothing but death can separate true
friends from each other.
A good name is good thing to have,
but good heart is better.
You can't tell much about mans gen.
erosity by reading his will.
The man who tends the school of ex-
perience must pay his own bills.
There is a good deal of pure laziness
that goes by the name of sickness.
Many men have ended by becoming
scoundrels, who began by running in
debt.
The hardest of all things is to get o
man to stop and look himself squarely in
the face.
People who never worry do a good
deal of missionary work that they don't
get credit for.
One of the hardest times to love an
enemy is when he is prospering like o
green bay tree.
There are good many different ways
in which some men can manage to brag
on themselves.
A hypocrite is counterfeit. A coun-
terfeit is one of the strongest proofs that
there is genuine.
A man never gets so bad but that he
likes to hear somebody say there is still
some good in him.
Self-deception is the only thing that
keeps a good many people from being
continually miserable.
If you have any opinions of your own
they will never amount to much as long
as you are ashamed to father them.
When you hear people growing about
hard times you can make up your mind
that they do not give as much as they
ought to. Cheerful givers always have
plenty. (Irad.) RAMS Horn

her hair by the light of the moon, who
won't change garment put on wrong
side out, who throws salt over her left

believes a broken mirror brings seven
years of bad luck, who wears a ring on

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
porrrNa MEATS.


The potting Of meats and fish Is an art
in which English housewives eminently
excel. Devilled ham and tongue put up
in this way are peculiarly delicious. Lit
tie earthen or stoneware jars with
straight sides are best adapted to this
purpose, as the potted meat may be
slipped out in perfect cylindrical form
form from such a jar and cut up in slices
for luncheon or supper. Potted meat
must be pounded to paste in all cases,
and packed very firmly in the jar with as
little gravy or butter as it is possible to
use and manipulate it. "The rAore the
meat is pounded" says an English
authority on this subject, "the better it
will be-" In order to prepare ham In
this way boil it till it is thoroughly done.
Separate the fat from the lean. Chop
the lean fine, putting in about a quarter
of a pound of fat with every pound of
chopped meat. Pound the meat and fat
to paste in a mortar, season it with a
quarter of saltspoonful of cayenne pep
per to every pound of paste and mix it
thoroughly for plain potred ham. If
you wish the ham devilled prepare sea-
soning powder in the proportions of a
teaspoonful of dry mustard, half tea
spoonful composed of equal parts of mace
and cloves, half saltspoonful of nut
meg, half a saltspoonful of cayenne, the
same amount of white epper.-Nerc York
