Cake Making.

Most cakes keep for a good
while, If placed in tin boxes with
with lids that fit tightly. And so
many different kinds of crackers,
etc, are now sold IN large tin
boxes that it is an easy thing to
get seperate receptacles for each
variety Of cake usually kept on
hand. Two or three sorts Of cake
should never be kept In the same
box, or they will ali get a kind of
flavor, reminiscent oE one another.
And it Is particularly bad to keep
gingerbread with any other cake.
y II cake tins, as well as bread
pans. should be turned ont once n
ween, emptied Of crumbs, and
wiped round with dry, clean
cloth, in order to prevent a stale
musty taste that is apt to devel
op Itself. The golden rule for the
satisfactory baking OF cakes is to
put them in hot oven directly
they are mixed, and to have
everything prepared beforehand,
so that the mixing Is done quick
ly. Here are "A few recipes for
some novel and delicious cakes.
Transparent Gingerbread
Two and quarter pounds OF flour,
two pounds Of butter three pounds
of powdered sugar, two pounds Of
golden syrup, one ounce Of ground
ginger, few drops Of essence of
lemon. Slft the flour and rub the
butter into it. Make hole and
add the other ingredients, mixing
all well together. Roll the mass
out into long strips, and put them
on well-greased baking tins about
four inches apart. Bake in a
cool oven, when it will all run
together. While warm, cut out
IN squares, and when nearly cold
take off the tin.

To Test Milk.

If the substance of milk be good
a drop placed upon the finger
nail will remain attached to it
with pearly appearance. If,
on the contrary, it be poor, 1T will
run off like water. To test the
richness Of milk, procure long
glass phlal, cut a slip of paper
the exact length of the bottle, and
divide it into one hundred equal
parts; paste it upon the phial !;
fill it to the highest mark with
the milk, and let it stand for
twenty-four hours. The number
Of spaces occupied by the cream
will supply the exact percentage
in the milk.

BoMBARDMENT CLAIMS
That will Have to be Paid by United
States aud England.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-The three
governments Interested in Samoa, Great
Britain, Germany and the United
States, have been considering the
claims arising out of the lombard
ment last summer, in which the Amer.
lean forces under Admiral Rnutz. and
the British forces under Captain Stur-
dee, participated.
1t is Understood that the British and
German authorities are agreed on the
general pTlEcl g, that the bombardment
and naval CLAIMS should be reimbursed.
This, however, It Is asserted, imposes no
obligation on Germany to share In
meeting the claims, as the German
forces did not participate In the bonn
bardment. It Is said also that no prop
position has been MADE to have Ger
many pay part OF the Samoan damage
done by the Mataafa forces. The course
OF the United States has not yet been
fully determined, either as to the bonn
bardment or the claims arising from
native depredatlons.

No LARGER THAN A TUG
But Navy officials Arc vcxed at the
Cnntnre Inst the Same,

But Navy ofIlclnls Arc Vexed at the
Capture just the Same.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Sept. 25.-The
gunboat Urdaneta which was captured
with her crew at oranl, about twenty
Ave miles from Manila, on the bay of
Manila, is little craft of only forty
tons displacement. not much larger
than small tug. She was captured by
the navy early In the war and has been
on police duty in the bay for months
past. The records of the navy depart
ment show that she was one of the
boats of which the Oregon is the parent
ship. That is, she was supposed to
draw all her supplies from the battle
ship, to be manned from the oregon's
crew and to net under the Instructions
Of the oregon's commander.
According to the last reports to the
department the little boat was last
May under the command of Naval Ca
Oct welborn C. Wood. but the person.
mel Of the crew is not matter of re-
cord, being subject to frequent change.
Wood was appointed to the naval acnd-
emy from Oregon, had passed his nca-
demir course, aud was performing two
years sea service at the time of his
capture. Naturally. the navy officials
are vexed that the difficulties Of the
negotiations looking TO the release Of
Lieutenant Gilmore, OF the yorktown,
and his men should be added to by this
last misfortune. Still there is no dis
position unnecessarily to curb the ju-
nIor officers of the navy who are rem
dering such gallant service in the Phil
ipplnes.
