Harrisburg, Jan 25.-Playing politics for

game and only experts are served with the
cards. The boys who pull the strings in the
districts, wards, or even counties, aud who
are regarded as wonderful political engineers

is being played here in the contest for Sic

Lyceum the other evening, and the
actors and actresses were grouping for
their final bow ensemble. In the house
the ladies were putting on their gloves
and getting their hats ready. young

front overheard this conversations:
"Why, Mary, I'm afraid | can't get

"Oh, yes you can, Nell. Try again"
Nell evidently tried again. for there
was silence for n moment.

on. That's what comes of wearing
new shoes to the theater. They hurt
me SO that | simply had to take them
off, and now they won't go on again.

The remainder of the agony was lost
in the applause which greeted the fall
Of the curtain. All that history records
of the denouement of the interesting
story is that woman was noticed GO

were one and the same is not certain.

True Excellence of Tread.

The excellence of bread in all Its
varieties. plain or sweetened, depends
OH the perfection of its air cells,
whether produced by yeast, egg or eff
fervescence. One of the chief objects
Of baking is to fix these air cells, and
the quicker this can be done through
the whole mass the better will be the
result When cake or bread is made
heavy by baking too quickly, 1t Is be-
cause the immediate formation OF the
top crust hinders the eXhaling Of the
moisture in the center and prevents
the air cells from cooking. The weight
also of the crust pressing down on the
doughty air cells below destroys them,
producing that horror of good cooks, a
heavy streak. The problem in baking,
then. is the quick application of heat
rather below than above the loaf and
its steady continuance till all the air
cells are thoroughly dried into perma-
nent consistency.-P Dispatch.

Indian lettuce. 1t will be recalled that
fornic acid takes its name from the

tanned from the insect.
The Placer county Indians greedily
eat the succulent leaves and stems Of

ing the plant for food is novel. Gath
ering the leaves, they lay these about
the entrances to the nests of certain
large red ants. The ants, swarming
out, run all over the plants. After a
time the Indians shake the ants Off
