The History of Cake.

It is interesting to trace back to the
earliest records the history Of cake and
making. The ancients made cake,
but it was not the rich, highly-seasoned
and favored confection which we in
dulge in nowadays. They had plain
cakes, made with -four and water, some
OF them without a suspicion of sweet or
favor. Some of them were not unlike
our plainest crackers, and were often
eaten as we eat bread.
Wedding cake was an institution
among them. as with us, but the cake
the head of the bride as she went into
her new home This was a special fea-
ture Of Roman marriages 1000 years ago.
The breaking of the cake was part of a
solemn ceremony. and was said to be
very impressive.
A similar custom prevails in some por-
tons of Scotland, where a hammock is
broken above the head of the young wife
as she for the first time enters her new
home. All of the cakes of ancient his
tory are plain and simple. 1t is only as
we came down to more modern times
that we hear of spices and fruits and all
Of the rich and luxurious ingredients in
which present day cakemakers delight.
In Queen Elizabeth's time spice cakes
and buns were eaten at weddings. From
these the fashion and fancy grew for all
sorts Of elaborate and delicious unwhole
some combinations. until there seems to
be perpetual struggle for something
new and more unusual to stir into the
cake Of the period.
Very many persons think cake is very
unwholesome Some sort of cake may
be, but why simple cake with a little
good fruit in it should be specially inju-
rious is a puzzling question Cake made
with fresh. sweet butter and fresh eggs
can scarcely be a tax on the digestive
powers, and no other shortening save
good butter should ever be put into cake,
many housewives and high-reputation
cooks to the contrary notwithstanding
1t is greasy, oily shortening that makes
cake dangerous, and when much of this
fat is used the compound is wholly unfit
for a delicate stomach.
Light, thoroughly baked cake, made of
good materials. may be digested by all
persons in ordinary health. and even
children Of all ages may eat it with safe
ty.-NeW York Ledger

Bryan on Pensions.

From the Omaha World- Herald
(Mr. Bryan's paper Nov. IS,
1892: The next session Of con
gress will have TO wrestle with one
deficiency Of $50, 600, 900. This is
on account of pensions. The APP
preparation for pensions for the
next year must not be less than
81 so, 900. 600. It is, therefore,
easy arithmetic to perceive that
the appropriation that Congress
must make for pensions next SEES
sion must aggregate not less than
$50, 900, 900,
This tremendous sum would in
itself be enough to run reasona-
BILE government. One would not
complain if it were an honest debt,
but a large proportion of it is not
debt, because it was never earned
by any act of patriotism or heroic
service The government is held
up and despoiled of no mean por-
tiol of this, and it seems helpless
to defend itself One cannot help
being curious to know how many
more years it will take to exhaust
the generation which feels itself in
jured by the war. 1t is safe to
say that never did generation dis
play such remarkable longevity

SQUAW SEEKS DIVORCE.
Another Evidence That the In
dams Are Becoming Civilized"
First Born, Defendant in Suit, Falls In
Love with Good-Natured Fool
Bear-His Lawful Wife Now
After His Scalp.

A divorce case, in which members OF
the Sioux tribe are principals, has been
commenced at Chamberlain, S. d., and
so far as romantic features are con-
cerned is quite interesting. First Born,
a redoubtable warrior, and Appearing
Earth, reservation belle, were mar
ried at the agency by United States In
dian Agent A. p. Dixon, in October, 1890.
Both are members of the Crow Creek
tribe of Sioux. All went smoothly in
the First Born household until two
years ago, when a young Sioux beauty
named Good Natured Fool Bear ap-
peared on the scene. The red-skinned
beauty had been attending an eastern
Indian school and had returned to the
reservation for her vacation when she
and First Born met and formed awarm
attachment for each other. Naturally
the jealousy of the patient wife was
aroused.
Then the recreant husband and the
young charmer decided to elope. They
fed to Yankton agency, but were fol-
lowed by Indian police and forcibly car
ried back to Crow Creek agency, where
they were thrown into Jail. After re-
naming in Jail for time they were lib
Grated, and the relatives of Good Natured
Fool Bear again sent her to the eastern
school, hoping that the separation
would cause the lovers to forget each
other.
A few months ago the Indian girl re-
turned to her home on the reservation.
First Born and she left the reservation
September 10 and went to Gam Valley,
the county seat of Buffalo county,
where they were married by Rev. E. P.
Swartout, Methodist minister. They
returned 10 the reservation in the even
ing and the next morning were placed
in Jail. A complaint against First Born
was filed with United States Commits
sioner Stuart, of Chamberlain, charging
him with bigamy, and warrant was is
sued and served by Deputy United States
Marshal Lewis. The prisoner engaged
the services of eX-Commissioner Nor
row, who maintained that the United
States was without jurisdiction in the
matter, as the marriage ceremony con-
shutting the act of bigamy was per-
formed outside the Crow Creek reserva-
ton and therefore only subject to the
state statutes. The United States COM
missioner concurTed in this view and
First Born was released. His lawful
wife has now instituted divorce pro-
ceedings against him for bigamy and
on other grounds.
