COOK BOOKS ARE USELESS.
Recipes Are Not Reliable When Cook.
ing Is Done at Great
Attitudes.

As attempts are being made to
found domestic science and to in
troduce exactitude into the opera
tons of the kitchen a note in the
Monthly Weather Review recording
the actual experience of a housekeep-
er at Albuquerque, n NJ, is of inter-
est. 1t appears that cooking recipes
and practices which are trustworthy
not far from sea level are worthless
at Albuquerque, the altitude of which
is 4,933 feet. Water boils there at 2O2
degrees Fahrenheit, instead of PIP de-
g1ees Fahrenheit; hence articles Of
food the cooking of which depends
upon heat applied through the medi-
um of water require a longer time for
cooking than is given in the cookery
books.
On account OF the extreme dryness
Of the atmosphere, farinaceous food,
such as beans, corn, etc, lose Sc much
of their moisture that they have to
be left for long time in water be-
fore cooking in order to be softened,
but the worst difficulty is with cake
making. Ordinary recipes as to num-
Der of eggs and amount of baking
powder break down altogether and
housekeepers have to modify them if
they wish their operations to be sue
cessful. AS the barometric pressure
determines to what extent the olsen
gagged carbon dioXide shall expand
and aerate the dough this may ex-
plain the different action of baking
soda and egg batter. In any case,
the observation is interesting and
chemists may find it worthy of their
attention.

Everybody Knows

That nervousness and headache go to-
gether. The worry and cares of business or
home, overwork, loss of sleep, improper
6od-all tend to irr1tate the temper,
derange the digestion, weaken the nerves
and undermine the health. This tearing
down of the life forces must be stopped.
The ebbing tide of health must be
checked, and new energy, new life, new
ambition infused into the whole system.
To do this quickly and thoroughly use

All Demands Conceded
Complete Tridmph Of France
in Turkish Dispute

Paris, November IA France has won q
complete triumph in the Turki h dispute.
The Foreign Office this morning received
advices announcing that the Sultan has
yielded to all the demands of the French
Government, and only questions Of form re-
gardiDg the execution of the engagements
remain to be settled. This may be done
within the next twenty four hours, or. it is
expected, in two or three days at the latest.
Then Admiral Caillsrd will relirqush his
occupation of the island of Mitylene.
An official note was issued at one O'Clock
this afternoon making the above announce
ment, and saying that as sosn as the Sultan
has issued an trade ratifying the decision
the French squadron will leave Mltylene.
President Loubet presided to-day at the
Cabinet council. Tne Foreign Minister,
M. DelcasEe, announced that Ethe Porte had
just advised him that it had decided to give
satisfaction in the case of the various French
demands, TO which the Minister replied that
as soon as the Sultan's order regarding the
Porte's decision was communicated to him,
Admirald Oaillard's squadron would leave
the island OF Mitylene.
The "Tempso this afternoon prints q dis.
patch from Oonstantioople, dated to-day,
which says that the Sultan, in accepting
the French demands, first authorizes the
working of the French schools, hitherto un-
recognized; second, recognizes officially the
existence Of the religious and hospitable
institutions already founded, and accords TO
them customs immunity and exemption
from certain taxes; third, authorizes the
reconstruction of the schools and hospitable
institutions destroyed at ths time Of the
Armenian troubles, OF which detailed list
it attached to the French pote.
TewfS Pasha, the Turkish Foreign Min
lister, has announced that the recognition of
the Ohaldean Patriarch, demanded by Fran
