FAMOUS WEDDING CAKES

Writing in the Strand Magazine ~
the subject of wedding cakes, Framlar
Steelcroft says Only very small
percentage of the readers of this artiolo
will be able to recall Her Majestic.
wedding day. Monday, February 10
1910, when the theaters were Omen
free to the public. In the evening
banquet was given at ST. James Palace
and covers were laid for 100 persons
There were three tables, and at the
upper end of the queen S table stood the
two chief wedding cakes. This cake
was made by Messrs. Gunter, of Berk.
eley Square, and before being sent to
the palace it was exhibited on the
firms premises to more than 81 900
persons. 1t is said that besides the two
principal wedding cakes there were
nearly hundred samller ones, which
were subsequently cut up and distri.
buted, practically, all over the world.
The next free theatrical night marked
the marriage of the Prince of Wales,
on March 10, 1868. The wedding
cake was made by Messrs. Bolland of
Chester. This was what is known as
"three-tier" cake, and around the
base were festoons composed of the
rose, thistle and shamrock, entwined
with the Royal and Denmark arms
On the tiers were placed alternately
refectors and figures of seraphs with
harps; also satin flags. on which were
painted miniature likenesses of the
Prince and Princess. The whole was
surmounted by temple embedded in
orange blossoms and silver leaves,
on the summit of which was placed the
Princes coronet and a magnificent
plume of ostrich feathers. The cake,
which stood nearly five feet high. was
of colossal proportions.
l may mention. incidentally, that
the largest cake ever made by Messrs.
Gunter was that which figured among
the jubilee presents. This cake was
10 feet high and weighed quarter of
ton, its value being about $500.
The smallest wedding cake made was
ordered by lady for child. 1t was
dolls wedding CAKE, three inches
high, and weighing about four ounces;
it cost los. because it was perfect in
every respect, and the confectioner
had great difficulty in getting molds
small enough.
1t is interesting to note that each of
the royal bakers has distinct recipe,
which is guarded like Cabinet secret.
Roughly speaking, bride cake takes
about half day to bake, but after the
tins have been removed from the oven
and the cake turned ont. the serious
part of the work only commemorate
a wedding cake has to be at least six
months old before it is fit to be eaten
During this time it is kept in an enor-
nous warehouse. called the "cake
room. and each firm keeps separate
staff of artists employed in making
new designs and altering the fashions
in wedding cakes. Natural flowers are
the great feature in modern wedding
cakes, white roses and orange bios
SONS being the most popular varieties
in use.

it was truly pleasure to sec him act

ously exact in its movements
Then there came silcnce-even the or
chestra was still.
It was to be the hit of the evening
and new feat that was to give an add
ed glory to the circus. He was to lean
from one trapeze to another, with his
face and head covered, then suddenly
drop from this giddy height upon net
stretched below him. The two trapeze
were swinging with irregular movement.
Jacques, standing on little board, his
head enveloped in black velvet bag,
put forth his hand blindly. The crowd
held it's breath. The man was going to
jump-he had jumped!
A piercing cry rent the air.
Missing the second trapeze, which had
been badly regulated, jacques fell to the
net, but it proved too frail to support his
weight, aud striking upon the seats he
relied to the ground, where he lay mo-
tionless.
With cry of horror, Zette sprang to
her feet, rigid and pale, her eyes fixed
upon the spot where the men were now
carrying away the apparently lifeless
body of her friend.
Then suddenly Selling her mother S
arm, "Comc," she said in a hollow
voice.
Breaking through the crowd, the two
women reached the stables, but were re-
fused admission. For a long while they
remained at the entrance, listening to
what was said around them, but no one
knew anything. Finally Mme Floury
saw clown whom she recognized as one
of Jacques friends He was just coming
out Of the refreshment room when she
called him.
"The net broke the force of the fall, !"
said the man, whose face looked trou-
bled, even under the paint. "The doctor
says he will be lame for life, and that
this ends for him his profession as a
gymnast. Poor fellow But he has some
thing laid UP for rainy day. -
Nine. Floury looked at Zette. She
was very pale, and her eyes were fixed
upon the man as he spoke as though try
ing to find if he lied. At last she said,
~ t us go. -
And thanking the clown by gesture
she left the circus.
The two women did not speak as they
traversed the grounds of the fair, and
they We're still silent as they assembled

Nine. Floury had lighted the candle she
saw Zette sitting beside the bed, with
strange smile Oh her lips. She felt fright

Then Zette laid her head upon her

BIRDS LIKE TO TRAVEL,
Tho Reason They Annually Leave North

The Reason They Annually Leave North
ern Chimes and Fly South.
Why do the birds fit southwark each
autumn and return again with every
spring? No one knows, but science, in
the person of Professor Wang, the emf
nent Austrian ornithologist, has Just dis
closed that the usual fippant answer to
this question, Because they like to
travel, is not far out Of the way, after
ALL
In a lecture that Professor Wang re-
Gently delivered at Vienna he gave some
extremely interesting details regarding
the migrations of birds, all of which
migratfuns resemble one another in two
respects: They follow the most direct
line southwark, and are made with al
most incredible rapidity. Numerous OBJ
servations have been made at Helgo-
land, which is the principal hating
place OF birds Of passage from northern
countries, and Of Egypt, which is the
winter home Of many, and these obser
vatiOns have established some facts hith-
erto unknown. The bluehirds traverse
the 400 nautical miles which separate
Egypt from Helgoland in single night,
which is at the rate of more than 40
geographical miles per hour. The swal-
lows speed is over al55 miles per min
ute, or nearly three times that Of the
fastest railway train. Even the younger
birds, 6 or 8 weeks old, accompany the
others i'll their journey.
Professor Wang asks himself what is
the impulse which causes the birds, aft
er the brooding and melting season is
over, to quit our nothern climate. He
does not think it is fear of cold-for
many species quite as delicate as those
which migrate southwark easily with
stand tile rigors Of the winter-out that
they have an irresistible humor for
travelling This is his idea Of the fact,
but he can give no explanation.

mother never talked baby to him,
but plain English in few words, and he
seemed to understand every word.
Then, to see n busy, active baby ten
months or year old, sit at the table
and never "muss the table CLOTH" or
NEEDLE with the dishes, or tip over
the glass of water or sauce, all within
reach, although SO active he had all
the time to Jump or perform harmless
athletics, probably in training for
football or baseball. And as he had
his proper lunch before the first
course, he rarely asked for anything
at the table, and if he did, he knew
that ono, Lee" meant no.
Then, did you ever think ten
months-old baby could be trained to
help mother, rather than be "always
bother" and hindrance? Lee was
encouraged to help mother, and
though Mrs. Jones was perfectly able
to keep nurse girl to wait on baby,
she had trained him before he was
year old SO that when she had swept
he wanted on his busting cap, and,
with his little busting cloth, would
