I have already pointed ont that the
germs of disease are to be found in the
mir and dust. Tho longer any sub
stance TO be eaten is exposed TO the air,
the greater the chance that germs will
be deposited on it. Bread raised with
yeast isworked down or kneaded twice
before being baked and this process
may take anywhere from four hours to
ten. 1t has, then, the chance of col
lecting disease germs during this pro-
cess of raising and it has two periods

Hunting Seals With the Spear.

Unlike the white men, the Nenh
Bay Washington Indians take most of
their seals with the spear. Long prac.
tice makes them proficient in its use,
and unlucky is the seal that pops its
head above the surface within radius
OF ten yards from their canoes. They
are as skilful in the management of
their frail canoes as Sioux warrior is
of his nimble pony. In their chase
they use the native dugout, hewn
bodily from some cedar tree. 1t is

Their chase seldom leads them beyond
fifty or sixty miles seaward, and they
are thus enabled TO run in and out al
their pleasure and avoid the heavy
gales. Sometimes they will follow the
seal long way north and generally
return well paid. Their range north
and south as general rule is confined
within the limits of Cape Disappoint-
ment on the north and Gray's Harbor
on the south.
Of the 400 men and youths on the
reservation these may be divided into
three classes, seal hunters, fishermen
and farmers. There are some who
never go out on the chase, but stay at

now To WASH DISHES.

Do you know how TO wash dishes
Not merely so that you get them of
the kitchen table into the china closet,
but so that the despised and dreaded
task becomes almost pleasure. This
is the way to accomplish that result.
As soon as the cooking is done, fill
all the cooking utensils with water and
leave them TO soak. When the meal is
ended scrape all the plates clean-not
with knife, for that scratches and
nicks-but with soft piece of left
over bread. Put the plates in one
pile, the saucers in another, the cups,
emptied of their DRAWINGS, together,
and the glass and silver together.
Have bowl of water cool enough to
allow your hand to remain in il few
minutes without scalding, but hot, and
wash the glasses with soap in that
Dry them as fast as they are washed
If you let them stand upon tray the
air dries them, and does it in streaks
where the water is trickling down.
Have soft, clean, lintless cloth for
this purpose.
Then wash the silver; the water
should be very hot for this. II there
are any crevices, clean them with q
brush kept for the purpose, Dry on a
clean towel and polish with silver
powder.
Next wash your cups and saucers-
one at time. Use a mop with a ham
die, and don't, in this day and genera
tion, be without one of those wire
kitchen couveniences known as a soap
shaker. Wipe each cup and saucer
before putting it out of your hand, or
it will dry partially and streakily, and
be rough to the touch. After the
cups and saucers, wash the plates in
the same way. Then clean the tins,
and then the pots and pans.
10 clean knives, rub with soft
flannel dipped in powdered bath
brick, or in wood ashes. Never let the
ivory handles be dipped in hot water.
Tins may be kept in state of daz-
zling Brightness by being rubbed
with sifted wood ashes or with whiten-
ing.
Copper utensils should be secured
with brick dust and flannel
The dish cloths and mops should be
washed, scalded and dried after each
using. The towels should never be
thrown aside in a damp lump, but
should be hung to dry, and then
dropped into the kitchen hamper
against washing day.
The dishpan should be thoroughly
washed with soap and water, secured
and rinsed with scalding water, dried
and hung on its own hook. Then the
sink should be secured and rinsed with
scalding water, in which common soda
has been dissolved. New York World.

is worth n few words. The introduc.
tion of the yeast into the moist dough
and the addition of heat when the pan
is placed near the fire produces an
enormous growth of the yeast fungi
the yeast germ in other words.
These fungi effect n destructive fer
mentation of portion of the starchy
matter of the flour-one of the most
valuable nutrient clements in the -four
The fermentation produces cnrbonic
acid gas, and this, having its origin in
every little particle of the starch
which is itself everywhere in the -four,
pushes aside the particles of the dough
to give itself room. This is what is
called 'raisipg the bread"
1t needs but a glance TO see that it
is, in its effects on the dough, purely
mechanical. The dough, which was
before a close-grained mass, is now
full of little holes, and when cooked
IN this condition is what we ordinarily
call light. This porous quality Of
bread enables the stomach to rapidly
and easily digest it, for the gastric
juices quickly soak into and attack it
from all sides. The fermentation of
the dough, however, uses up portion
OF the nutrient elements of the loaf
II 1t be possible, therefore, to produce
light porous loaf without this de-
struction and without the "kneading"
process, which fills the dough with
germs and filth, and without the long
period during which the raising pro.
cess goes on, the gain in food and the
gain in the avoidance of the germs is
exceedingly plain.
But while We can easily see the
dangers which attend the use of Yeast
1t Is certain that the vesiculating effect
produced by it on the dough is to the
last degree perfect. 1t is apparent
that If we are to substitute any other
system of bread making we must have
one which will giveus, first, mechanical
results equally as good, that is, that

carbonlc acid gas throughout the mass
of dough. Now it is in no way diff
cult to produce carbonic acid gas
chemically, but when we are working
at bread we must use such chemicals
as are perfectly healthful. Fortunately
these are not hard to find
The evils which attend the yeast
made bread are obviated by the use of
a properly made, pure and wholesome
baking powder in lieu of yeast. Bak-
ing powders are composed of an acid
and an alkali which, if properly com
bined, should when they unite at once
destroy themselves and produce car
6onic acid gas. A good baking pow
der does its work while the loaf is in
the oven, and having done it, disap-

avoids the long period during which
the yeast made dough must stand in
order that the starch may ferment aud
there is also no kneading necessary.
Tho two materials used in the ROYAL,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless, even when eaten. But they
are combined in exact compensating
weights, SO that when chemical action
begins between them they practically
disappear, the substance of both hav-
ing been taken up TO form the carbon
ic acid gas. More than this. the
proper method of using the powder
insures the most thorough mixing
with the -four. The proper quantity
being taken, il is mixed with the flour
and stirred around in it. The mix

this insures that in every part of tho
flour there shall be few particles OF

two ingredients chemically combine

all conceivable methods of raising it,

than that the bread is necessarily as
sweet as possible, there having been
no time during which it could sour.
This involves the fact that the bread
so made will keep longer, as it is less
likely to be contaminated by the germs
that affect the souring process.
II will be strange if tho crowds of
visitors to the Worlds Fair do not
greatly increase the number of con.
tagious diseases, which we will have to
treat. Under these circumstances ie
it not folly of follies to open single

the yeast raised bread, AMI with this
have shown how that danger may be
avoided. The ounce of prevention
which in this case is neither difficult
nor expensive is certainly worth many
pounds of cure, and the best thing
about it is that it may be relied on al
most absolutely. Those who eat bread

SOlIdlRed Petroleum Fuel.

Considerable attention has been at
tracted in engineering circles abroad
during the past year by the use of
petroleum in solid form. The details
of the Chenhal process for solidifying
petroleum are now made public. In
brief, this process consists in heating
600 parts of the oil with 800 parts of
melted and dissolved soda, ten parts of
concentrated calcium chloride solution
and ninety parts of resin. After the
mess has become solid it is cut up into
briquettes, which can be used in the
same way as coal or any other similar
fuel. New York Commercial AdYer-

But care is imperative in selecting
the brand of baking powder to be cer-
tain that it is composed of non-injuri-
ous chemicals. Powders containing
alum or those which are compounded
from impure ingredients, or those
which are not combined in proper pro-
portion or carefully mixed and which
will leave either an acid or an alkali in
the bread, must not be used.

Tomatoes are healthy and tomatoes
are growing cheap. Therefore, the
New York Recorder concludes, rules
for tomato cookery are in order:
Tomato Eggs-Cut three or four
good-sized tomatoes in half. Take
out little of each inside. Fry the
tomatoes lightly in a pan containing
two ounces of melted butter. When
almost done carefully drop raw egg
from the shell into the hollow of each
tomato. When the egg is perfectly
set take each one separately from the
pan and lay it on small, round slice
of buttered toast; dust with a little
coraline pepper and sprinkle little
newly grated ham over the white of
each egg. Serve on hot dish, with a
garnish of nasturtium flowers and
leaves.
Tomatoes and Shrimps-O Choose
dozen smooth-skinned, medium-sized
tomatoes; cut piece off the top of
each and scoup out portion of the in
terror. Scald, bone and fillet three
anchovies; pound in mortar with
half pint of freshly-skinned shrimps,
tablespoonful OF ham, one of taragon
leaves, Il pinch of salt and dash of
cayenne, Mix together and nearly
fill each tomato with the mixture;
then pour into each little oil and
vinegar, seasoned with prepared mus-
tard; lay the tomatoes in a bed of
freshly picked and washed cress.
Tomato Fritters-Boil, peel and
pound to a pulp four tomatoes. Beat
up with this the yolks of four and the
whites of two eggs, two tablespoonfuls
of cream, two tablespoonfuls of white
wine, seasoned with little grated nut
meg and dash of cinnamon. Beat until
very light; then divide into small frit-
ters and fry in pan of heated butter;
drain on paper and send to the table
with sauce made of an ounce of
melted butter, the juice of two lemons
and tablespoonful of caster sugar.

But the germs of the greater part of
the germ diseases, that is, of the iufec-
tious and contagious diseases, will de-
velop or increase in number without
being in the body of human being,
provided always you give them the
proper conditions. These conditions
are to be found in dough which is be-
ing raised with yeast. They are
warmth, moisture and the organic
matter of the -four on which the germs,
after certain changes, feed.
II is necessary to remember ut this
point that yeast is germ growth, and
when introduced into a mixture of glu-
cose or starch, in the presence of
warmth and moisture sets up fer

of the starch into glucose and then de-
composes the glucose by changing it

Stanford's Consideration for the HORSE

In employing men TO work at Palo
Alto, the late Senator Stanford, of
California, gave them the most strict
orders. They were told never to
strike, kick, or whip horse, and his
instructions to his men were: "Al-
ways do a thing little better than
anybody else, and you will succeed.
When you haddle horse, treat him a
little better than any one else. When
you breed horse, breed him to a
little better stock each time"
1t was in this way that Stanford
revolutionized the horse e-breeding of
the country. He never allowed one
of his men to ill-use a horse, and they
knew 1t. There are never noise or
blows around tho Palo Alto stables.
and the horses are never frightened.
To show his feeling toward his horses.
the late Henry Vrooman once told of
an occurrence when he was dining
with Senator Stanford. just after the
dinner, one of the drivers insisted that
he must sec the Senator. He was

thing; l want the truth, persisted
the Senator.
