HOW 10 MAKE YEAST.
The Homo Preparation OF This Essenti
Ingredient In BreadmalSIng.

1no MONO EhCRAE&AA0h "a AhAe 1@S4O1s-sA
Ingredient In Breadmaklng.
In the preparation of yeast absolute
cleanliness of all the utensils used is nee
essary to success. For this reason 1t is
better to prepare the yeast in porcelain
lined saucepan and set it to rise in .
stone pot. The best yeast for family use
will keep for two months in the winter
and in the summer also if kept in a good
refrigerator. To make this measure out
a cupful of dry hops, pour pint OF boil
ing water over them and let them sim
mer in porcelain saucepan for s5 min
utes.
The saucepan should be kept for this
special purpose, as it will be strongly i'm
pregnated with the flavor Of hops. Strain
the boiling hot hop water over pint OF
hot mashed potatoes, stirring it in grad
ually. Add a cupful of sugar, a cupful OF
salt and u cupful of flour, mixed to-
gether. Beat this mixture thoroughly SO
as to remove all Jumps. tits just as well
to mix the dry ingredients with the pota-
toes before pouring on the hot hop wa
ter. When thin, even batter is formed,
add quarts of boiling water. Let this
mixture stand till it is barely blood
warm. Then add n good cake of grocer's
yeast.
After homemade yeast has once been
started, no grocer's yeast is needed. Two
cupfuls of it will be sufficient to start q
new batch, and should be saved each
time for this purpose. Set the yeast over
night behind the stove or in some place
where it will be kept at uniform tenn
perature of about so degrees. 1t is not
strictly necessary that this temperature
should be maintained all night, but it is
desirable that the yeast should be kept
in quite a warm place for at least six
hours in order to start the fermenta-
ton. The yeast should be carefully COW
cred after it is set to rise, and in winter
it should be wrapped about with warm
cloth and thick newspapers, if nothing
else is convenient, in order to keep in the
| heat.
In the morning the yeast should be
we'll covered with beads of foam. Beat
well, and let it rise IL hours longer, beat
| ing several times. When ready to put
away, it should be n thick mass of white
| foam. Put in two stone jugs holding a
gallon each and tie the corks down with
strings for week or two, advises the
| New York Tribune. authority for the
foregoing. With this yeast use only a
teaspoonful of salt for four loaves Of
| bread.

For scalds from hot water or stoves
there is nothing more apt to be handy
than baking soda. Wet it up soft and
apply freely. If the burn is superficial
or of slight extent, binding it up with
this is all that will be necessary.
No matter how large the spot of oil,
any carpet or wooden stuff can be cleaned
by applying buckwheat plentifully and
faithfully, brushing it into dustpan
after short time and putting ON fresh
until the oil has disappeared.

A melodrama of the most stirring kind
was being given at a theater in a small
provincial town. In one of the critical
scenes the hero suddenly became aware
of the fact that he had como upon the
stage minus his poniard. Without mo-
ment's hesitation he made n dash at the
traitor, exclaiming:
"Die, villain! l meant to strike thee
with my dagger, but l left the weapon
in my dressing room, and will therefore
strangle thee in the presence of this in
dulgent audience"
1t is scarcely necessary to add that
this variation from the original brought

his time was spent lodging his creditors.
He sat one day in n barber chair, with his
face lathered and ready to be shaved, when

The man saw Saint-Foix and apgrily de-
manded the money due him.
Wont you wait until l get a shave:"
quietly inquired the poet.

at the prospect of getting the money

A Meteor Of Great Size,

NoRrHpoRT, Wash. May pa meteor
of unusual size passed over this section
last Friday afternoon at 3 80 o'clock.
Its appearance was 80 sudden and its
passage SO swift that no one here could
define its form. 1t appeared to be en-
yeloped in cloud OF smoke and its course
was from the south to the north. In its
trail it left long column OF white an
gray smoke which slowly dissolved into
thin, HeeCy clouds. Within about min
ute and a half after its passage, and
while the people were still gazing at the
long column of smoke, Il tremendous
peal OF thunder from the direction OF the
Sheep Greek mountains, about 20 miles
north OF here, came rolling back, which
was heard for distance OF 80 miles be-
low here. Since then some miners who
were engaged on the lie Roi and o. X.
mines, Is miles north OF here, reported
tremenC Gus explosion at that time
which shook the mountain.
Of course there is much speculation as
to the nature and size OF the TRANCE vis-
itor. Some prospectors who will leave
for the Sheep Creek mountains will look
up the point wLere the meteor struck.
LArER-Since the above was written
it is learned that Chief Engineer E. j.
Roberts and Captain Burbridge came
down from Beaver creek this morning,
having in their possession Il small piece
of the rock that fell from the meteor.
1t is supposed that the meteor exploded
about the mouth Of Trail creek, throw
ing part of up on Beaver cceek, about
six miles distant.

Communicated.

Editor HERALD: The editorial in last
weeks issue of the Tribune entitled
The Bath House" contains so many
errors that / feel in duty bound to cor
rect them, Now the judge did not hold
that the city had no right to enter INTO
"A contract to heat the bath house, or
that such a contract would be null and
void, but, on the contrary, WIDEN the at
tornev for the plaintiff was whining like
whipped cur for the court to let him
down easy by taking the case under ad-
visement instead of giving his decision
at once, the court said "If the question
of heating the bath house had come
squarely before me, | would take the
matter under advisement to see il the
authorities PROHIBITED such contract,
for [ can see rhe benefit to the health OF
tine citizens IN having public bath, and
in the exercise of their implied police
powers the council might haVe the pow
er to run public bath, and if they have
the right to make a contract with an in
dividual to run it, but this question is
not before the court" He further SAID
that there was no question but that the
council had the power to lease the lot
and furnish the water for the bath, and,
having the power to make this contract
they had the power to buy back the
privileges, and that the price prid is not
unreasonable appeared to the court to
be self evident, as the compensa ion re-
ceived was not adequate to the expense,
and even if it cost the city nothing then
L can see said the court where the city
might be benefited even more than this
| by having the lot free of lease and the
building removed to decrease the risk
of fire. This is the substance of the
courts reasons, and any report to the
contrary is absolutely false. The per
sunal criticism of my failure to do my
duty when town attorney is 30 purile
that it is unworthy Of notice. The en-
dorsement of my official acts hich | re-
ceived last fall, when this matter was
urged as a reason against my election
as mayor, is of greater weight than the
mouthings of defeated aspirant to the
office Of city attorney, and whatever may
have been my shortcomings, vet L have
never descended so low in the scale OF
my profession as to become a common
barrier to the best interests of the city
in which live. Can my accuser say
as much? Yours Respectfully,

ent mayor, and ex-city attorney ano
