Novel and Delicious Cake.

want to tell about a most delicious
cake concoction [ have lately encoun-
tered for the first time; it was reve-
lation of what a cake can be, and
good enough to venture giving for the
benefit of those who have not met
with it as yet. 1t is just the right
thing for serving at this season at a
luncheon or high tea, or as an ac-
compartment to iced tea or coffee, or,
in fact, wherever cake would be CRATE
full. It certainly is dream of a
cake.
The first requisite is a ring cake
mould like a ring jelly-mould, but the
centre hole must not be too large and
the tin must be rather deep so that
the cake will stand high on the plate
on which it is served. The mixture
Tor 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 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 we'll as 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 and prepare, the combination
Of the hot rich chocolate cake and the
whipped cream is really ideal, and I
most certainly advise any one who has
not tasted it already to try it. I know
whoever does will want to do so a
second time. -Harper's Bazaar.

UsIDp "Left-Oyer" Vegetables.

No Weft-over" vegetables need be
allowed to waste during the summer,
as nearly everything will make a pal
atable salad. Cucumbers and toma-
toes may be served together with a
few bits of onions added to animate
the whole" String beans 60 particu-
larly we'll with beets, potatoes, car
rots or even turnips. Green peas and
caulihower seem complimentary to
each other, with the notifying effects
of a French dressing added, as it
should be to all of these salads. A
few spoonfuls of chopped bacon are
frequently added to the vegetables,
and will be deemed by many an i'm
provement.

How to Prepare Crabs.

Remove the spongy substance and
the sandbags from the sides; wash,
wipe dry, drop them into hot fat and

five minutes; takes them out with a
skinner; sprinkle over little salt and
serve hot Garnish with fried pars-
ley, or mix two heaping tablespoon
fuls of -four with half a cupful of
milk, the yolk of two eggs, a little

InaectiCide for Plants.

Z Cosmos, q French scientific review
says that South American farmer has
recently made an accidental discovery
Of great value to gardeners and flor
lists.
1t was to the effect that leaves of
the tomato plant will drive insects
away from other plants. He coyere1
tomato leaves oyer young shrubs

from small insects, and was delighted
to find that the latter cleared out as
soon as they got the odor of the to-
mato leaves.
He then extended the same treat
ment to an entire row of young peach
trees, and his success was complete.
To render the process more simple he
tried decoctiOn of the fresh tomato
leaves as a spray on other trees and
shrubs and found that he had o per.
fectly effective weapon which cost
practically nothing. He also found
that spray Of the same kind would
keep flies off his horses.

Trellis for Tomatoes.

While the tomato can be and often
is grown with its vines lying on the
ground, the fruit rlpens more evenly
and perfectly, besides producing q
larger crop, if the vines are supported
by trellis of some kind. 1t may be
nothing more than a stick forked
like ~" and with a long enough
stem to set firmly in the ground. But
il the soil is rich and the tomato vines
are heavy, row of strong stakes with
q wire wound around each at the
height Of eighteen inches will give
better satisfaction. When the vines
turn to grow downwards the part be-
low will blossom and fruit more abund-
antly than before.

Season for Deep Flowing.

If there is ever time when deep
blowing is advisable it is in summer,
especially if some green manure can
be turned under the furrow. This
will heat rapidly in hot weather, and
the gases from its fermentation rising
through the soil will mellow it more
than can be done by the most thor
Ough cultivation when such land is
deep plowed in spring. In fact most
spring blowing ought to be very
shallow, as the air is not warm enough
to warm through deep furrow, and
therefore, if vegetation is then deeply
plowed in it rots very slowly.

that the chickens fed milk and grain
ate some considerable more grain than
did those receiving no milk. The re-
suits also show that the chickens of
lot one, receiving no milk, made an
average weekly gain of 2.62 ounces,
while those fed milk made a gain per
week of 446 ounces, or over one
fourth pound. The chickens fed milk
made more rapid and uniform gain
than those fed grain only. The gen.
eral results of the feeding in every
way seemed to show the superior in

Good Use for a Pineapple.

A most dainty dessert for few is'a
pineapple ice made Of the fresh fruit,
which is scooped out of the apple,
leaving a thin crust which forms a
bowl. The end of the apple nearest
the top is cut off for this purpose,
leaving the end for handle.
This bowl thus formed can then
rest in nest of another piny, spiky
end Of another pine, the contents OF
which are used with those of the first
for the making Of the ice. After the
ice is prepared, it is put into the ap,,
pie bowl, the cover is replaced, and
the whole set on ice until ready to be
served. The best setting is in the
freezer,

Skim Milk for Chickens.

With the purpose of studying the
effect of skim milk diet ON Young
growing chickens an experiment was
conducted at the Indiana agricultural
experiment station in which two lots
of chickens were under observation.
There were ten chickens of two breeds
in each lot, ranging from four to six
weeks of age at the beginning of the
experiment. Each lot received The
same food, care and treatment, ex-
cepting one was fed all the skim milk
wanted, while the other was given
none The grain fed consisted of two
parts crushed corn, one part bran and
one part ground oats. They were
also fed cracked bone, cabbage and
lettuce. When the experiment began
the total weight of one lot of chickens
was only one-half an ounce more than
the other The experiment lasted
from July II to September 5.
The results of the feeding show

The Whitehead Torpedo.

The Whitehead torpedo carries two
hundred and twenty pounds of wet
guncotton, and weighs ready for SER
vice HOO pounds. It's maximum
length is sixteen feet FIVE inches, and
its greatest diameter is seventeen and
seven-tenths inches. At a speed of
twenty-eight knots per hour it has q
range of about eight hundred and fifty
yards. The torpedo is driven by
compressed air at pressure of 1850
pounds per square inch, which oper.

FOR FARM And GARDEN,
Topdressing Meadows.

In topdressing meadows with fresh
yard manure, directly after moving,
there is naturally some loss by evap-
grafton, but this is not nearlyas great
as is generally supposed, and this is
also more than counterbalanced by
the protection it provides against sun
and drouth. In winter and early
spring the loss from evaporation is
but infnitesimal. If the manure is
properly composted it may be applied
as q topdressing at any time without
danger of loss.

Care of House Wells.

There should be an enclosed build
ing over every we'll from which water
is to be taken for family use. Multi
tudes of insects and even small ami
mails fall into the we'll if it is exposed
to the air and has no curb around it.
So, too, there is always much dust
blown into it, and the rays of the sun
shining down make the water too warm
70 use during hot weather. Every
time bucket is lowered into the
water it carries some of the warmth it
has absorbed from contact with the
summer air.

The death of Editor and Proprietor William NJ. Singerly of the Philadel- phia Record removes cne of the most conspicuously successful newspaper men of the country. His recent finan- cial troubles may have worried and depressed him and hastened his death The Record, however, was not seri- ously affected by MT. Singerly's out side ventures, but it may sadly miss his guiding hand hereafter. Still there is nearly always a good man to fill the place of good man gone

which they have cast their fortunes? Certainly every precaution is taken to guard against extravaganza when the question of voting bonds for the improvement is left to two-thirds vote of the taxpayers.
 Arizona is growing rapidly. Is people are progressive, ambitious, cul- tiyated. They are willing to wait pa tiently for statehood, but thy VII not submit. tamely, to the i'm u ation that they are incapable of eztimating their own municipal needs or of spend ing their own money in their own way. The home rule they desire has no con- nection with the home rule which seeks only to provide places for de- signing politicians. It is fair and equitable and appeals to Arizonans who have a due regard for the terri torial credit and~ for terri,or.al obi cations.

THE BILL IS SIGNED.

The president yesterday signed the omnibus bill which at once paves the way for a capitol building in Phoenix and fer water works and sewerage in Prescott. It is a bill Of greater i'm portance to Arizona than any other in which the citizens of this territo y have been interested. The.e WAS con siderable opposition from sources that may always be relied upon to adcpe a narrow course, but 1t was powerless in the face Of the showing ths am h friends Of Arizona were ab- to make. We have already referred to the part taken by ex-Governor Murphy in se- curing this much desired legislation. Delegate Smith, who worked ard f1r the bill. will agree with us that MT Murphy rendered most efficient aiI in getting it through the house and senate to the presidents desk. Sev- eral other Arizonans spent time and money in it's behalf. They have the consciousness Of work well perform d.
 In the hour of victory it is unneces- sary to dwell upon the methods en- ployed to defeat the bill. Such meth ods will become more and more dis tasteful in Washington as the legis- lators become used to the ca.amity cry and see that good, rather than evil. comes from measures advocated by men like those who stood behind this particular bill.
 No time will be lost in beginning the work which the bill makes pos sible. Prescott undoubtedly will vote the bonds necessary to give the town good water works and good sewerage. The bonds for these improvements and those for the capitol building will find a ready market. Arizona's cred t is now better than eyer. We do not need to dwell upon the advantages that will accrue to Prescott through this legislation. The town will take on new life. Fort Whipple will re- sume its place among the important army posts. All northern Arizona will feel the impetus given by this new law. The governor may be de- pended upon to appoint a first-class capitol commission. There will be sufficient money available to construct a handsome building that vii mee. the territory's needs for many years to come. This money will go into cir culation in Phoenix. The president yesterday did a good stroke for Ari- ZOna.

TO ADVERTISE PHOENIX.

The Republican has contended for a long time that the advan- tages of Phoenix as health and pleasure resort should be ad- vertised in the east and middle west. There are thousands of wealthy people who annually seek mild climates who might be induced to come to Arizona. Once here the sparkling atmos- phere and innumerable outing privileges would operate to make them friends of this favored re- zion. At present Arizona is to these people an unknown quan- tity. There is no attractive ad- vertisement of the territory CT of the Salt River valley to claim their attention. On the ether hand the merits of Florida and western North Carolina are con stantly brought to their notice. -Asheville, North Caro-. ina, is do- ing a wonderful amount of ad- vertising this year. Go where you will in Chicago, posters de- picting the beauties of the Ashe vile region constantly meet the eye. It is the same in the At lantic seaboayd cities. The southern resort people know the value Of printers ink.
 It is a pleasure to announce that the suggestions cf The Re publican in this connection are bearing fruit. MT. J. c. Adams is about to organize movement to raise a substantial sum for advertising purposes. He will subscribe literally himself, and the people of this town will be asked to do likewise. There should be a generous response. The Republican will not only subscribe, but will aid the movement by wide advertise ment. A few thou and dol lars judiciously expended in tie coming summer will make Phoe- nix an extremely live-y town next winter. There is no bet ter climate than CUTS On earth. We must let the world know about it.
 Take hold of th,s movement and make it success -ul.
