QUICK BREADS OF ALL KINDS.

QUICK BREADS OF ALL KINDS.
The quick breads lack the sweetness
of the long standing, well-baked breads,
as less of the starch is converted into
sugar. In making these quick breads 1t
must be borne in mind that the moment
moisture is added to the flour with
which the baking powder has been sifted
there is union of the materials and gas
is evolved, which makes it very neces-
sary that this part of the work should
be done rapidly and the materials put at
once into the oven. For instance, If
milk biscuits remain on the board five
minutes after they are made, they will
be coarse, the holes being large and the
biscuits rather dry and brittle. The bet
ter method is to see that the oven is hot,
and then get all the materials and uten-
sils which are necessary together before
beginning to mix the biscuits, so that at
the last moment the mixing only need
be done.
Baking powder and egg breads are
more wholesome when served warm, as
they hold the moisture and become
heavy when cold. Yeast breads should
be thoroughly baked-perhaps baked a
second time-and used cold; or made
into zwieback or pulled bread, they may
also be served right from the oven.

Cit1Hens Urged to Remove Weeds
From UnOccupfed Lands.
The Northwest Suburban Citizens Asso-
ciation deprecates the presence of weeds and
other Objectionable underground on the un-
occupied lands in the section it represents.
At a recent meeting of the organization res
olutions were adopted to the effect that
the growth Of weeds, briars and dense
underbrush on the neglected lands in the
northwest section not only greatly depre-
ciates the value of property, but is a seri-
Gus menace to the personal safety and
health OF our people" An appeal was
therefore made to citizens and taxpayers
to begin at once the removal of the nuisance
from their lands land thereby set the ex-
ample of local pride In making the suburbs
not only safe and healthy, but attractive
to homeseekers and prospective purchas-
era."
1t was also declared that the limited num-
Der of houses in the northwest suburbs
was insufficient to supply the increasing
demand Of responsible applicants during the
past summer, and the association earnestly
recommended to property owners and cap
italists to build more houses along the
lines of electric railroads. The belief was
expressed that investments Of this kind will
not only be safe, but will realize hand
some profit

AMERICAN GAME BIRDS.
Five Groups ON Exhibition at Smith
sonian Iastitutfon.


sonian Iastitution.
Five groups of American game birds.
mounted with specimens of the soil and
vegetable growth of their habitat, have
been placed on exhibition near the en-
trance to the Smithsonian Institution.
They make up a fourth part Of an entire
collection Of twenty groups. intended to
represent completely the game fowl Of
North America. The remaining fifteen
groups are to be placed on view as COM
pIeted.
Four specimens of grouse are shown
sage grouse, Canadian ruf1ed grouse,
"sooty' grouse and Richardson's grouse.
All are very beautiful. The sage cock and
hen stand in a tangle of the growth in
which they make their home and from
which they have been given their name.
Their mottled brown and gray gives them
very much the appearance of partridges.
The ruffied grouse is found from Maine and
New Brunswick as far westward as Ore
gon and British Columbia. He is an ex-
ceptionally handsome bird, with collar of
stin brown feathers and a broad fanlike
tail bordered with black. 'Sooty'' grouse
e.e ge. T. theiT name from the peculiar steel
bfack color of their wings and back. They
are particularly product of the Pacific
coast and are still found from central CAL
ifornia to Sitka Alaska. The Richardson
grouse stand In field of mosses and cold
weather grasses, indicative of their home
In British Columbia and the snow regions
of Montana and Idaho. They look like
highiy developed black chickens with long
red marks over the eyes of the male bird
included In the other groups to be placed
on exhibition at some later period will be

LAW REGULATING CEMETERIES.

Attorney Duvan Says 1t Applies to
SoldieFs' Home.
The District Commissioners recently re-
ceived letter from Major T. E. True. de-
pot quartermaster, U. S. A., suggesting
that the provisions of the act of Congress
FOR the regulation Of cemeteries, etc., in the
District OF Columbia, approved January
70, 1885, do not apply to the National ceme-
terry at the Soldiers Home in the District
Of Columbia. The matter was referred by
the Commissioners to A. B. Duvau, the at
torney for the District, who is Of the opin-
ion that the law does relate to the c.me-
terry.
1T appears" says Mr.. Duvall, that on
September 25, 1901, the superintendent Of
the national cemetery at the Soldiers
Home was notified by the health officer to
ME with the surveyor Of the District of
Columbia a plat of said cemetery in uc-
cordance with the aforementioned act of
Congress. =. :
THE said act regulates not only ceme-
teries, but also the disposal of dead bodies
In the District of Columbia
Among Its provisions Is a requirement.
contained In section 8, that a plat of such
cemetery, showing the area so divided the
division into lots and the number Of such
lots, shall be filed in the office of the sur
veyor of said District
The said act of Congress contains a
comprehensive system for the regulation Of
all the subjects embraced within it's title;
1t contains no exceptions in respect thereto
exempting from its operation any part of
the territory of the District of Columbia,
and the objects sought to be attained are
manifestly not confined to any part of said
territory.
1T will be observed that these require
ments are not contained in police regula-
tion promulgated by the Commissioners,
but in an act OF the federal Congress re-
lating to the entire District of Columbia,
over which it has exclusive jurisdiction
Tt was, of course, within the province Of
Congress, IL it choose SO to do, to exempt
the national cemetery at the Soldiers
Home from the operation of this act, but
it did not do so.
I am, therefore, of the opinion that the
provisions of said act Of Congress relate to
the said cemetery"

Washington.
Shortly before 2 o'clock this morning the
fire department was called out by the
sounding of an alarm for fire In shed in
rear of a house on the east side of 7th
street northeast between K and L streets.
The flames had gained considerable head
way by the time the fire department ar
rived, and six sheds and two stables were
destroyed. Two horses perished in the
flames. Damage to the amount Of about
81 600 was done.
Happening as it did at so early an hour,
and causing so bright blaze, the fire at
tracted a big crowd and the occupants of
many houses : in the neighborhood were
very much excited. The dry timber and
the inf1ammable character of the contents
of the sheds resulted in the rapid spreading
of the flames, and the firemen had to work
hard to save the nearby; dwellings An In
vestigation was made by the police of the
ninth precinct but the origin of the fire
could not be determined
