THE SPOON AND THE CUP.
Concerning Their Use Tor Measuring Pur-
poses-TabIes For Easy Reference.


In many Of the cookingS schools the
following rules determine accurately
the spoonful, a measure which formerly
widely varied to suit the caprice Of tho
novice or the ease of the happy go lucky
housekeeper: The bowl OF a spoon be-
ing cOncave necessitateS a corresponding
rounding above the surface to make it
really a spoonful To measure accu-
rately, therefore, a teaspOOnful Of dry
material, take up heaping spoonful Of
sifted material and shake it lightly until
it is rounded above the surface enough
to correspond exactly with the cOncave
surface. An even or scant teaspoonful
means a spoon filled lightly and leveled
with knife to the surface of the spoon,
while a heaping spoonful means all the
spoon will hold of any sifted material
In using solids, especially butter or lard,
a knife should be employed to defrly
even of the superfiuous amount.
An ''even" cupful of anything means
q cup full to the brim, so full that only
the steadiest hand can carry it without
splitting. A trimming cupfu1, as its
name indicates. is a cup running over.
A scant cupful lacks a quarter or half
inch of reaching the top of the measure,
while a solid cupful is something packed
as firmly as is possible.
A tablespoonful of melted butter
means a tablespoonful of butter after
melting, while tablespoonful of butter
melted means a tablespoonful measured
before melting.
Sugar, salt, -four, soda, spices and
mustard especially should always be
sifteG or stirred up lightly before meas
uring, as when packed they are COM
pressed to much less than their rightful
bulk for measuring.
The following measures of capacity
may be found useful to hang in the
kitchen for easy reference, says writer
in Good Housekeeping
Four even teaspoonfuls liquid equal ons
even tablespoonful.
Three even teaspoonfuls dry material equal
even tablespoonful.
Sixteen tablespoonfuls liquid equal one cup
full.
Twelve tablespoonfuls dry material equal
one cupful.
Two cupfuls equal one pint.
Four cupfuls equal one quart.
Four cupfuls flour equal quart ons
pound.
Two cupfuls solid butter equal ore pound.
Two cupfuls granulated sugar equal one
pound.
Two ana mar CYPRUS powdered sugar
equal one pound.
One pint milk or water equals one pound
One dozen eggs should weigh ~ pounds.
The following table of proportions is
also valuable:
Ora teaspoons.1 soda to one cupful molasses.
Ono teaspoonfu1 soda to pint sour milk.
Three teaspoonfuls baking powder to one
quart flour.
One-half cupfuI of yeast or one-quarter cake
compressed yeast to one pint LIQUID.
One teaspoonful extract to one loaf plain
cake.
One teaspoonful salt to two quarts flour.
One teaspoonful salt to one quart soup.
One scant cupful of liquid to three full cup
fuls of flour for bread.
One scant cupfu1 of liquid to two full cup
fuls of -four for mullins.
One scant cupful of liquid to one full cupfu1
of -four for batters.
One quart of water to each pound of meat
and bone for soup stock.
Four peppercorns, four cloves, one teaspoon
full mixed herbs for each quart of water fol-
soup stock

Two Odd Follows Settle An Old Quarrel
Publicly.
The three days session of the grand
lodge OF /. 90. F. closed last evening
at Representative hall with installation
of officers.
The initiatory degree was conferred
on Mr., G. McClelland and Mrs. F. s.
Crane, by the union degree team.
An Interesting incident occurred dur
ing the election of officers of theigrand
lodge.
w. [. Brown of Kingman was candi-
date for grand warden, among others.
Arising from his seat across Representa-
tive hall from Mr.. Brown, MIR. G. W. Sam
pie of Kingman said: 81 came to Kansas
many years ago and settled on the town
site of Kingman, had nothing and on
the adjoining claim was w, L. Brown in
the same condition.
Between US we had one dish and both
ate out of that. As time rolled along we
still continued neighbors, but our world
ly effects became more plentiful and we
enjoyed our frontier life with the neigh
bors more than l have since.
"Ihere came a day about three years
ago when we disagreed over a matter
which is useless now to discuss, as it has
been before every session of the grand
lodge since and from that day to this we
have not spoken.
Something tells me today that this ia
wrong and not the charity we should ex.
ercise towards each other and l want to
forgive and forget. Therefore, I second
the nomination of Brother Brown"
Those who noticed Mr.. Brown say that
he sat for moment as one stunned, then
arising hastily crossed the hall and
clasped the hand of MIR, Sample, with
tears in his eyes, while the delegates rose
to their feet and cheered

MISSIONARY STORIES

Related by Mrs. Kate Ellis Preed at a
Meeting Last Night.
The Christian church convention held
a crowded session last evening, the room
being inadequate for the audience.
The exercises were under the auspices
of the women and Mrs. Kate Ellis Preed,
one of the editors of the Warrensburg,
(Mo.,) Journal Democrat was the lecturer
of the evening.
Her subject wat "Woman and Christi
anity" and she told largely of Indian and
Japanese missionary life. Some of her
"reminiscences were amusing.
''In Japan, the Mikado's mother-in-
law" said Mrs. Preed, "was taken sick
one day and to my positive knowledge
423 doctors were called in, but somehow
she recovered. After solemn consulta-
ton the wise and learned physicians de-
cided that the sickness was the result of
the Introduction of a new railroad. The
idea of mother in-law being a relic of
barbarism is relegated to the rear in
Japan.
"The worst feature of heathenism I
know of is the child marriages of India.
From the cradle to the age
of eight years a husband
for the child is the sole aim of the parents
existence. They have the one thought
of marriage and are disgraced if not sue
deal resemble a great many American
families, only the age of the prospective
candidate for matrimony is d little higher.
"A slave in life," continued Mrs.
Preed, 'her body is placed on the
funeral pyre of her husband and
the living and dead are burned together.
These conditions will cease only when
Chr stianity breaks the shackles and
sets free from superstition these be-
nighted souls" THE Indian government
has suppressed the "suttee" years ago.
The burning of women alive no longer
takes place in Iudia.)
The junior banner was awarded the
Lawrence band.
A feature of the evening was song
by the Topeka juniors.
The nominating committee of the wo-
mans department reported as follows:
For president, Mrs. May Graham, Man
haitian; secretary, Mrs. Helen E. Moses,

LOOKS CONGRESSWARD
Secretary Bristow Going to Ottawa
To Live.
STARTS GOSSIP ABOUT HIS PLANS.

1t is said He Wants TO 60 co Congress
from the SeeOnd-He Purchased
Paper There.
]. l. Bristow, Governor MorrilPs pri-
vate secretary who owned and edited the
Salina Republican before he came to To-
peka to take a state house place has
purchased the Ottawa Herald, weekly
Democratic paper and will transform it
Into Republican paper.
Mr.. Bristow has for some time been
trying to buy the Ottawa Republican,
but that paper is such satisfactory prop
erty to its present owners that Mr.. Bris-
tow could not get it.
When Mr.. Bristow first commenced
figuring on a Franklin county paper it
was said he wanted to go to Ottawa to
run for congress against O. L. Miller two
years from now, but to a STATE JOURNAL
reporter today Mr.. Bristow denied that
he had any political aspirations. He said
he expected to run Republican weekly
paper for the farmers.
AS there are only two republican town
ships in Franklin county outside of Otta-
wa, it is doubtful if Mr.. Bristow will
long be satisfied with country business.
Mr.. Brstow will conduct the editorial
department of his new paper from To-
peka, and his brother, John Bristow, now
student in Baker university, will do the
local work on the paper until Mr.. Bris-
tow moves his family to Ottawa.
Mr. Bristow made his first political
speeches in Franklin county and his
political acquaintances will be slow to
believe he intends to keep out Of Sec
ond district politics.
]. B. Kessler the present editor of the
Herald is postmaster at Ottawa.

Good Care of Them.
Every child should have a library,
distinct and separate from that of the
parents. Early in life the children
should be taught to respect and care
for books. The small, illustrated toy
books should be kept separate from the
other toys and placed on little shelf.
AS the accumulation grows, make a
small library for the little student, and
add to it each year by birthday or
Christmas presents 1t does not take
long to make the little ones understand
that books are to be kept and read, and
not to be thrown on the floor and torn.
