THE STANDARD CUP MEASURE.
It has been found by careful compar-
ison that cup, holding half pint Of
the standard beer or milk measure, is
the nearest equivalent to measure by
weight. Therefore, if person have no
scales, recipe given in pounds and
ounces may be quite accurately fol-
lowed with such a cup. One-haf pint
cup of butter, or graduated sugar, or
finely chopped meat, or milk or water
equals one-half pound. Two cups OF
sifted white -four, one scant cup Of rice,
two heaped cups of coffee or rye meal
or Graham -four, and one heaped cup
of graduated corn meal equal to one
half pound.
For convenience in measuring frac-
tional portions, the cups are divided
into quarters and thirds. At first only
one division was made on each cup, and
every housekeeper provided herself
with a set of two, one cup by which to
measure one-third or two-thirds and
The other for quarter and half cup por-
lions. But now the same cup has the
dividing lines for thirds on one side
md for quarters on the other side. They
are made in tin, agate ware and glass.
The latter are more suitable for table
use with the chatting dish than for daily
cooking in the kitchen. They are all
furnished with handles, and wherever
adopted have proved to be one of the
most convenient kitchen utensils. They
are called cooking school cups, and
probably were first brought into gen.
eral notice from their use in the early
days Of the Boston school. But the
suggestion was given to me by pupil
who had some made to order for her
own use, and it will probably always
be matter of doubt as to whom the
honor of the invention belongs.
Yet even with this standard cup one
must learn how to use it with different
articles. When a cup of anything is
specified it always means cupful, al
though it is not considered necessary to
add the syllable full any more than it
would be to say quartful, or a peckful.
A cupful is all the cup will hold on a
level with the top edge. In measuring
water, milk or other liquid, the cup
should hold not merely what you can
carry without spilling, but all it will
contain without running over. Hold
the cup over the mixing bowl or what
ever is to receive the liquid and fill it
to the brim.
Dry materials, like flour, meal, pow
dered sugar, etc., should be sifted before
measuring them fill the cup with a
large spoon, being careful not to shake
the cup. A quarter of cup or more
of -four may be added if each portion
is shaped down solid as it is put in.
Heap the flour slightly, then level it
off with knife. A cup of chopped
meat should be packed in solidly, and
butter also should be solid measure, for
if put in in portions with much air
space between, it will be a very indef-
mite amount.

GLASS VASES FOR FLOWERS.

Every now and then florists and 9TH
er authorities rise up and declare that
it is no longer good form" to keep
flowers in clear glass through which
their stems show. That is very much
like saying that it is no longer good
form to have long eyelashes or rosy
cheeks. The stem of a graceful flow
er is one of its greatest beauties. Seen
through a bit of clear crystal with tiny
giobules of water encrusting it, it is
almost as much of an ornament as the
blossom which it supports. Until nature
begins to produce ugly stems nothing
will be more appropriate for holding
flowers than well-shaped glass vases.
Occasionally a bit of colored glass IS
permissible. There is a delicate green
variety and faint amethyst kind, both
of which add to the beauty of the
stems they reveal.

LOWRY WANTS HIS RING.
Miss Smith Said She Would Return
It to Him After the Trial, But
Has Not Done So.

Kansas City, Feb. 25-The first step
toward satisfying or collecting the $25,-
600 Judgment held by Miss Martha
Smith against DR.. Howard S. Lowry
has not been taken yet. Before any
levy is made, DR.. Lowry will probably
be brought into court on a motion,
compelling him to give an inventory of
his property. He denies that he will
try in any way to evade the payment of
the judgment.
The diamond engagement ring which
Miss Smith is wearing, and which she
said she would return at the end of the
trial, has not yet been returned.
Il shall expect to get that back"
said DR.. Lowry yesterday. II prize it
very highly on account of it's having
been a present from my wife. I hope
Miss Smith will return it to me''
When asked as to a report that he
and Miss Sadye Anderson would be
married within a week or two, now that
the breach of promise suit had been
settled, DIR. Lowry added:
I'VE may never be married. I have
no expectation of that any longer"
DR.. Lowry asked whether Miss Smith
still appeared to be bitter against him.
and said:
"Surely not. It must be an inhuman
person who could continue to be so
after having gained her object as Miss
Smith has in her $4,000 judgment. She
ought to be satisfied
1t was suggested that Miss Smiths
actions since the trial ended indicated
that she was still in love with him. but
DR.. Lowry only looked obviously re-
Elective and made no reply.

TRIBUNE BURNED OUT.
One of the Large Newspapers
of Minneapolis Destroyed.

inneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 25.-p'he five
story building on Fourth street, near
First avenue, occupied and owned by
the Tribune Publishing company, was
totally destroyed by fire last night. The
first alarm was turned in at 10:40, but
before engines could reach the spot,
though in the very heart of the city,
flames had burst through the roof and
were soaring skyward in cones so feet
high. The fire started in the job room
on the second floor and must have been
burning since 6 p. M, as that room was
locked from that hour. Nothing was
saved mailing lists, files, account books,
contracts, with all the costly presses
and type and lnOtypeS were destroyed.
A large part of the west wall fell out
ward an hour after the fire was discov-
cred. Fortunately not a single life was
lost nor man injured.
The Times and Journal building which
is two lots west of the Tribune, was in
grave danger, being on fire several
times, but more by the efforts of the
employees than through assistance from
the department the flames were extin-
guished. The Tribune will be issued as
usual, both the Times and Journal hav-
ing given their afflicted brethren all the
assistance possible. One of the serious
aspects of the Tribune company'S trOu-
BILE is the difficulty of replacing the lin
otype machines and presses in anything
like a reasonable time. But the man
agement is not cast down and way
out of the difficulty will be found.
The building Immediately adjoining
the Tribune on the west and occupied
by George Benz & Sons, as a wholesale
liquor store was almost totally destroy
ed and the loss is heavy. The big de-
partment store of S. M. disco to the
south and across the alley was on fire
but iron shutters saved it.
Following is a list of losses and in
Surance:
Tribune company $1OO,OOO; insurance
$50, 600; Tribune book binding and job
department, SS 900, insurance $1,000; w.
S. Booth & Co, law blanks, 81 200, part

Capt j. H. Collier, of This City, Passed

Capt. John H. Collier, who has been

fering no pain. Capt. Collier was a well

one of the places where the organiza-
tion was captured. The people from
the DRY Districts of this ward live in
this precinct and they will vote this af-
ternOOn.
The Brooks men concede the Fourth
ward to Mr.. Drew but they are making
a play to keep down the majority in the
east precinct. This board was captur-
ed by the Brooks people and the great
est intimidation is being practiced on
voters. Women are challenged and the
Brooks supporters are so desperate as
to disguest every decent person.
There is a surprise for the Brooks peo-
pie in the Fifth ward Their forces are
disorganized and crippled. They have
been unable to hold the colored vote
here and there is no doubt whatever
that Mr.. Drew will carry the ward by
a good majority.
The polls close at o'clock tonight
If you have not voted do so before that
time
