Royal Buckwheats.

For generations it has been the GUS
tom to mix the batter for buckwheat
cakes with yeast or emptyings, retain
ing a portion of the batter left over
from one morning to raise the cakes
for the following day.
If kept too warm. or not used
promptly, this batter becomes excess
sively sour and Objectionable. Buck
wheat cakes raised by this means are
more often sour or heavy than light
and sweet. If eaten daily they dis
tress the stomach and cause skin erup-
tions and itching.
Instead of the old fashioned way we
have been making bucl1wheat cakes
this winter with Royal Baking Pow
der, mixing the batter fresh daily, and
find the result wonderfully satisfac-
tory. They are uniformly light and
sweet, more palatable and wholesome.
and can be eaten continuously without
the slightest digestive inconvenience
Besides they are mixed and baked in a
moment, requiring no time to rise.
Following is the receipt used:
Two cups of pure buckwheat flour
mot prepared or miXed): one cup of
wheat flour, two tablespoons Of Royal
Baking Powder aud one-half teaspoon
full of salt, all sifted well together
Mix with milk into a thin batter and
bake at once on hot griddle. Once
properly tested from this receipt, no
other buckwheat will find its way to
your table.-Domestic Cookery.

LAND BARONS.
They hold Millions of Acres of Swamp
Land In Louisiana.

Land In Louisiana.
The New Orleans Picayune prints
table of the land barons of Louisiana
and their holdings of unimproved tim
Der and swamp tracts, from which it
appears that alien syndicates, compa-
MES and individuals own more than
200, 900 acres. One syndicate. claims
400, 600 acres, several possess l00,0 900
and more and holdings of from 90, 600
to 10000 acres are not uncommon.
Most of this land is owned in the west
ern states, but to capitalists of New
York and Philadelphia several hun
dred thousand acres belong.
The Picayune explains that origin
ally the United States owned all of
the lands in Louisiana other than those
which al the time of the cession by
France were held by private persons
or corporations. subsequently what
were known as swamp lands, that is to
say, lands that were subject to tidal
overflow from the sea or were annu-
ally flooded by the Mississippi, became
the property of the state. with the
provision that it should sell them for
the purpose of raising fund to build
levees. a considerable territory, con-
sisting of prairie and forest land, was
retained by the United States to be
sold as homesteads. Such a DISPOSE
ton was made of this land, but it is
now largely in possession of syndi-
Gates. The Picayune's table includes
the swamp, homestead and sea marsh
lands. The last named, lions share
OF which has been acquired by the
Watkins syndicate, must be drained
and diked like the Holland coast, and
some progress IN this work has already
been made.

He Did Not Smile.

They were rival candidates for va

smiled patronizingly when they met
together in railway carriage.

kindly, whatever on earth has
prompted you to oppose me in the
forthcoming election? You haven't a
chance to win. It's a donkey to a
strawberry against you!'
''Indeed?" said the second rival
obviously. THAT certainly doesn't
sound very encouraging, but perhaps
you wouldn't mind apologizing for the
liberty you've taken in calling me a
strawberry"
And you could have heard a fly
sneeze in the awkward silence that
followed the last remark.-Tit-Bits

How a Plant Has Travelled.

Less than 125 years ago the little
plant known to the botanists as Lee
pachy's columnaris was only known to
inhabit small section of country in
the very southern portion of Louisi-
ana. Some time later it was repor ted
as occurring sparingly along the Cana
dian river, and later still on the Arkan-
sas. Since that time it has slowly
spread north, west and east, even to
the very source of the Missouri, over
into the British possessions and is now
said to be creeping along the Saskatch-
avian toward Hudson bay. How a
plant which originated in warm eli
mate could accustOm itself to such
changes is another of natures mys-
teries.-St. Louis Republic.
