Baking CAKE.
Successful Cake Making is a Cues
tion of Taking Pains, and is BY
No Means IL Matter of Luck.

A woman who invariably succeeds
with her cakes is generally looked upon
oy less favored individuals as the pos
SCISSOR of ".uck,' somewhat akin to
witcl1craft, which preciudes the posi-
bility of its owner ever having heavy
burnt, soggy stuff. While some people
may be lucky, yet the greater number
who fail do so from ignorance of funda-
mental rules.
Going by guess is very common
practice, but far from commendabIe.
Every household should have its scales,
measures and Thermometer, and these
should be III daily use. The pans should
be of the best, and kept scrupulously
clean. The flour should be good, but
ter sweet, and eggs strictly fresh, and
the ingredients Always mixed in the
same order. A big bowl is indispensa-
bic, and the same cup should be used
FOR everything. Before starting have
all the things ready. Say the cake to
be baked is a currant cake, for which
the receipt is as follows:
Two cups sugar, One-half cup butter,
three cupe flour, two teaspoons baking
powder, three eggs, two teaspoons van
lila, two cups currants.

Mrs. Alfred Bishop Mason is pro-
badly the only woman in the states
who can take out locomotive engine.
Certainly. she is the only society wo-
man able to accomplish this feat.
When her husband was yice-presi-
dent of one of the large Florida rail-
roads, Mrs. Mason always went with
him on his annual trip. She had been,
as girl. intensely interested in ma
chinery. and it was with her an insat-
liable desire to take an engine over the
road
And she learned to do it in fine FASH
ion.
She began by gaining the permission
OF the engineer to sit in the cab with
MIN; not doing anything but swinging
on and familiarizing herself with its
swing and the work required for its
movement.
She says this was one of her most
thrilling moments. To be able to sit
with her face toward the wind that al
most engulfed her. peering out into the
darkness that rushed past and being
blinded by the glare of the great fires
as the furnace doors swung open to be-
replenished.
Her next lesson was learned at the
whistle. Then came the bell cord. and
soon these two functions We're left en-
tirely to her hands.
AS the train drew up to a station i'm
Florida where Mrs. Mason was waiting,
the engineer and fireman immediately
made room for her She knew every-
one by name on the different locomo-
tiyes. and they all knew her. Proud
was the engineer when his cab contains
ed the bright wife of the vice-presi-
dent.
Her seat on the bench near the win
COW was known by the telegraph op-
orator and the station hands as the
engine came up, and all had pleasant

Have the CurrantS cleaned and per-

mix with the hand till each is powder
ed so that they will mix evenly
through the dough. Any fruit or mats
not Toured will sink to the bottom.
Measure the -four and add to it the
baking powder, sitting two or three
times. Beat the eggs separately, very
light, measure the sugar and butter
into the mixing bowl; have the re-

ready, and lastly grease the pan we'll

paper in the bottom.
First cream the butter and sugar
thoroughly, then add the yolks Of eggs,
then the milk then the flour. a hand
full at a time, then the fiavoring, after

of eggs. The mixture must be stirred
briskly and constantly in the same d1-
rection always. A wooden spoon IS
about the best, as the handle Will not
bend like a metal one. 1t takes a great
deal of strength for the final beating,
but unless tits given the texture Of the
cake will be coarse. All loaf cakes
should be baked in square tins rather
than round, and the mixture should
not reach the top by about three
fourths of an inch, to allow for raising,
else it will run over the sides and spoil
its appearance.
The temperature of the oven is a
very important factor. 1t should not
be too hot at first, or the outside viii
bake so much sooner than the inside
as to spoil the cake. Neither should
it be too cold, or the cake will fall at
once. If water dropped on the bottom

gives a smooth surface. This is true
of all cakes.
