The old rule of five eggs to one cupful
of pastry flour and one cupful of pow
dered sugar has never been improved
upon. The yolks should be beaten
until they are thick and the sugar add
ed gradually to them. The grated rind
and juice of half a lemon may be used
or any other tlavoring desired. These
should be added to the yolks and sugar
and the mixture again thoroughly beat
en-. When the whites of the eggs have
been whipped to stiff broth. they
must be folded in lightly and the flour
sifted in a little at time and folded
or cut in without stirring. 1t requires
n moderately hot oven and an hour to
bake.

The Song of the Yukon River,

'Therc is something peculiar about
the Yukon river that have never
heard of in connection with any other
stream" said Captain Gray, who has
been running boats on the big Alaska
artery. "From the mouth of the Yukon
up as far as there is any navigable
water the stream is constantly sing
Ing. No matter where you are, there
is sound like that made by escaping
steam. At first l used to think that
maybe it came from the boiler or en-
gines. But when we We're tied up at
night, with everything cold, the sound
was the same. l have puzzled my
brain to find an explanation of the
phenomenon, but without avail. The
singing goes on day and night
"When you get up stream some dis
tance, you can also hear the rocks
rolling over the bed of the river, and
this produces most peculiar sound."-

Gunpowder explosions have one re-

sons killed in such an accident are
always found without clothing, but
frequently one foot will have the shoe

one of the feet is in the air and an
other on the ground, the shoe will be
