The Del Conte Opera company has,
according to San Francisco authority,
"succumbed to northern frost" and its
principals wandering homewards have
reached the strands of the Golden Gate.
When one recalls how poorly their
noble art was appreciated in Los An
geles, no wonder need be expressed at
their financial failure in such cities as
Portland, Tacoma and Seattle: it only
supplies another uncomfortable reflec-
ton upon popular taste-Mazzi, Collenz,
Cioni and Masero, with II Maestro Pr

THE wheat fields OF England are the
oldest national Industries in the coun-
try" says a recent English writer. "A
wheat field thousand years old is
quite a common sight IN this country.
OF course It has not grown a crop Of
corn every year In the ten centuries,
but during that long sequence of ages,
in the fixed and abiding order Of this
ancient country, that particular area of
land has been cultivated, with the pro.
duction OF wheat as It's main object.
and II has remained as part Of the En-
glish granary from the days OF Edward
the Confessor until those OF Victoria
Many of the wheat fields are far more
ancient than this, but the record Of
Doomsday Book is n practical voucher
for a period Of 1000 years. The custom
OF the Saxon cultlvators, and the eyi
dcnce of local names are proof Of q
stlll greater antiquity Of cultivation on
some Of the best corn land; and beyond
the days Of the Saxons lie the last two
centuries Of. Roman occupation. when
bhgahl was tue great wheat &, owing

population of Rome with daily bread
Perhaps the most interesting feature
Of our ancestral corn lands is the small
degree in which their appearance can
have changed in course Of ten or twelve
centuries. Their area Is much greater
than in the old times. when villages
were separated by wide woodlands, and
only grouped and contiguous in natEr-
ally open country. The early Saxon
times were not days in which men
cared to lay field to field. There was
plenty Of ground available, and of this
the villagers cultivated and sowed with
corn as much as they needed for their
years supply"

/ want to tell about most delicious
cake connection ! have lately encoun-
tered for the first time; IL was a reve-
lation Of what a cake eau be, aud
good enough to venture giving for the
benefit Of those who have not met
with It as yet. II is just the right
thing for serving at this season at a
luncheon or high tea, or as an nc
compartment to iced tea or coffee, or,
in fact, wherever cake would be CRATE
full. 1t certainly is dream of a
cake.
The first requisite is a ring cake
mould like a ring ielly-mould, but the
centre hole must not be too large and
the tin must be rather deep 50 that
the cake will stand high ON the plate
on which it is served. The mixture
for the cake may be made from any
good, rich chocolate cake receptive
all have our particular favorites, and
they are all alike in general principles,
consisting of good sponge-cake mix
ture, with melted chocolate added
towards the end of the stirring to give
the necessary favor and richness.
When the cake is baked it is turned
out as soon as possible on to q platter
or plate on which it is served, and
then covered with a rich chocolate
icing, the soft kind which penetrates
into the cake as well rs covering the
outside. And then comes the finish
ing touch that gives this especial deli
cacy its character, which is whipped
cream that fills the whole inside of the
ring of cake. While simple enough
to make aud prepare, the combination
of the hot rich chocolate cake and the
whipped cream is really ideal, and 1
most certainly advise any one who has
not tasted it already to try It. l know
whoever does will want to do SO a
second time. = Harper's Bazaar.
