BAKING.POwDER SECRETS.
Some the Things Which Every Good
Housewife ShOuld Know.

"Our grandmothers did without bak-
ing-powder, and were not sensible of
any difficulty in preparing quick
dough-" writes Ella Morris Kretsch-
mar in the September Woman's Home
Companion. But one wonders if re-
suits were not oftentimes crude, be-
cause of the nice care necessary in
using soda. In fact, there are certain
legends respecting greenish-yellow or
spotted biscuit, at which the present
generation of housekeepers smile,
thanks to baRing-powder. Soda, an al
kali very injurious to the stomach
should never be used without an acid
to render ii a neutral salt, as cream
of tartar, muriatic acid or sour milk,
and the proportion must be exact or the
mixture will be either acid or alkaline.
Pure baking-powders are simply a
mixture Of bicarbonate of soda and
cream of tartar in their proper pro-
portions, with perhaps twice their COM
bined weight of rice-hour. corn-starch
or plain flour to insure their keeping.
If really pure they cannot be called in
furious, the danger lying in the use of
powders having impure ingredients, of
which quantities are doubtless sold
daily. So sensible have housekeepers
become of these adulterations that
many are going back to the use Of
soda and cream of tartar, the use, Of
which, as indicated, requires both in
telligence and care. If one is depend
ent upon the average cook a standard
baking powder is the safest reliance.
"In the making of quick doughs (by
use either Of baking-powder, or soda
and cream of tartar) there are two
points not given in any cook book, so
far as the writer knows, which add
greatly to perfection in results. To
make such doughs proceed as follows
Into one quart of -four (measured
before sifting) put a level teaspoonful
of salt and two heaping teaspoonfuls
| of baking-powder-or one level tea
| spoonful of soda and two rounding ones
| of cream of tartar-mix thoroughly
with the hands, and then sift twice;
next add a heaping tablespoonful of
| butter Cor butter and lard mixed), rub
| up lightly with the hands, and again
| put through the sieve, pressing the
last, heavier part through with the
| fingers or hand. Now toss the mixture
lightly about as when first putting in
the baking g-powder, and 1t will be found
that the shortening is distributed with
perfect evenness through the flour
Have ready a scant pint of sweet milk
in a mixing-bowl, and into this put
half of the flour. Beat hard for a few
minutes, when the mixture will be as
smooth as satin; add rapidly the rest
of the -four roll out quickly, cut Gil
for biscuit), and bake at once in 9
| rather hot oven.
"Some flours require more wettinf
than others, but the rule for guidance
is "a dough as soft as can be handled.
A little flour. more or less, will mo-
spoil the general result if other direc
tions are carefully followed"

McKinley's
President

President McKinley's appoint
ments have been uniformly good, and
even his bitterest political opponent
have found it very difficult to criti-
cize any Of them, and his appoint
ment of Maj. Butterworth to be Com
missioner of Patents is commended
by everybody, including democrats
and populists. This is just as it should
be, for Maj. Butterworth as Commits
sioner of Patents is surely the right
man in the right place. He is an able
lawyer and statesman Of wide expert
ence, and having been Commissioner
of Patents once before, and had SER
vice on the House Committee on
Patents, is thoroughly familiar with
the important duties on the position.
He is quite large enough for Cabin
ct position, or for that matter for the
highest position in the country. But
there are few public places in which a
man of Maj. Butterworth's equip
ment can do so much good as in the
Patent office. The practice in, and
especially out Of that office is desper-
ately in need of reform.

"Does Modern College Education
Educate, in the Broadcast and Most
Liberal Sense of the terrn?" is one of
most important inquiries that could
be set on foot. This discussion, which
is to be taken part in by President
Gilman of the Johns Hopkins, Presi-
dent Dwight of Yale, President Schur-
man of Cornell, President Morton of
the Stevens Institute, Henry Thurs
ton Peck of Columbia, Bishop Potter
and others Of the most distinguished
men of both the United States and
Europe, is begun in the April Cosnoo-
politGn by a radical inquiry into the
educational problem along the lines
of Herbert Spencer. President Gil
man will follow in direction almost
equally searching. Altogether there
is promised the frankest possible ex-
preston of opinion, and it seems
probable that it will be the most thor
ough comparison ever made of edu-
cational methods with the needs of
every day life ct the close of the
nineteenth century.

Many papers comment on the great
floods, this spring, in the Mississippi
river and some of it's largest tributa-
ries. The extent of the suffering and
of the destruction Of property natur-
ally excites surprise and discussion
is going on concerning what practl-
cal remedies can be devised and ap-
piled. An article in Boston paper
refers to the vast size OF the territory
subject to inundation, including 49,
900 square miles in Louisiana, 1000 in
Mis- issippi, 1900 in Arkansas and g.
800 in Missouri, an area as large as
Massachusetts,, Vermont, Connect
cut and Rhode Island combined. In
Louisiana the flooded district in an
ordinary seaion produces a cotton
crop amounting to 1, 5O0,O 900 bales,
valued at s75, 100000. This is but one
of the items involved in the proper
control of the greatest river on the
continent.
