points, but it will all be handled by eight
or ten operators in the Montpelier office.
This Office will be equipped with ten
through wires to New York and Boston.

Montpelier Junction, and on his wire be-
tween Montpelier and Montpelier function,
distance Of less than two miles, five differ
ent offices will be located, Next Thursday
will be great day for the telegraph men in
Montpelier as well as for everybody else.
The pressure on the local telegraph office
for newspaper copy will not be confined to
the day of the celebration. but will extend
over at least four days. Representatives Of
the leading Boston and New York papers
will be in Montpelier by next Monday
evening at latest, and from that time until

FIG OR DATE FROSTING.

These frostings are excellent to use
upon any kind of cake, but as they are
rather rich in themselves, they seem
better suited for light, white cake. If
figs are preferred, they should be
chopped fine If dates, the stones and as
much as possible of the white lining
should be removed, and tAen they should
be chopped fine. For good sized loaf
OF cake, baked in two layers, use a scant
quarter of pound of either the chopped
dates or figs, put into a double boiler or
saucepan with a very little boiling wa
ter-just enough to make the mass
pliable. Let them stand and heat while
the syrup is boiling. For this two cups
of fine graduated sugar and half a cup
OF boiling water is required. Boil with
out stirring till the syrup taken upon the
spoon or skeWer will "thl cad" Do not
allow it to boil too hard at first When
the sugar is thoroughly melted. move
the saucepan to a hotter part of the
stove so that it may boil more vigorous
~. Have ready the whites of two eggs
beaten dry; now, to them add the fig or
date paste and pour the boiling syrup in
a me stream over the two beating all
the time. Beat occasionally while cook
ing, and when thoroughly cold add one
teaspoonful of lemon extract. and it Is
ready for use These frostings may be
triile sticky the day they are made es-
pecially If the syrup is not boiled very
long, but the sickness disappears by
the second day, even If kept in a stone
jar.

BAKED BEETS.

One of the most satisfactory ways to
cook beets is to bake them; when boiled
even IL their thin jackets are left on, a
great deal of the best part of the beet
is lost. 1t will, of course, take little
longer to bake than to boil them, but this
is no objection; allow from fifteen t.
twenty minutes more for baking; slice
them, and serve same as though boiled.
One nice way to serve them is to chop
them fine. After they are cooked sea-
son with pepper salt and butter.
