Recipes From Many Sources and Of
Acknowledged Worth.
SPONGE CAKE.
Sift half pound of flour and powder
a pound of the hest loaf sugar. Crate
the yellow rind and squeeze into a saucer
the Juice of three lemons. Beat twelve
eggs; and when they are as light as pos
sible, beat into them gradually and very
hard the sugar, adding the lemon and
beating the whole for long time. Then
by degrees, stir in the flour slowly and
lightly; for if the flour is stirred hard
and fast into the sponge it will make the
cake porous and tough. Have ready
buttered sufficient number Of little
square tins (the thinner the better) half
fill them with the mixture; CRATE loaf
sugar over the top of each; put them at
once into a quick oven and bake them
about ten minutes taking one out to try
1t when you think they are done. Spread
them on an inverted sieve to cool. If
you are willing to take the whole trouble
they are much nicer in little square pa
per cases, which you must make Of
thick letter paper, turning up the sides
all around, and fastening together or
sewing up the corners.
If you bake the mixture in one large
cake (Which is not advisable unless you
have had much practice in baking) put
1t into a buttered tin, and set 1t directly
into hot oven, as 1t will fall and become
heavy if allowed to stand. Keep up q
good fire till the cake has risen very
high, and is fine color; then diminish
the heat and keep it moderate until tht
cake is done. 1t will take about an hour
Sponge cake is best the day it is baked

sundry Places nt Marshslitou Entered by
Burglars, VINO Secured Very Little Booty.
Burglars made a wholesale attack
upon business places in Marshallton
early Thursday morning, but, with the
exception of tobacco, secured very
little booty. The actual value of the
plupder, 1t is believed, does not ex-
ceed $50.
The places entered were the B. &
o. railroad station, postoffice, David
Ecoff's grocery store and George W.
Mullins barber shop. At each place
the doors were pried open, and, judging
from the methods used, this burglars
we're not professionals, the supposition
being that they were either tramps OF
evil-disposed persons living in the
neighborhood. .M
All of the tobacco that could be
found was taken from Ecoff's store
and the barber shop, and articles of
small value were taken at each place.
So far IS is known, nc money or stamps
were secured. Each of the places
visited was ransacked and some
| damage resulted from the breaking
and pIomiscuous throwing about OF
furniture and other articles.

about 1.30 O'Clock in the morning and

saw short, stout man standing neai
it, but the man saw the doctor coming
