The Election OF the President.

Althoughneither Mr.. Mckinley
nor Mr. Bryan seems to have
any anxiety as TO the result of
the late election, and both are
inclined to take the generally
accepted view that one is assured
OF 292 electoral votes the other
getting only 1856, the final formal
lties OF the contest will not have
been completed until next month.
Yesterday, in accordance with
the Congressional enactment
that the electors of each State
shall meet and give their votes
con the second Monday in Janu-
ary next following the election,
the various bodies of electors
comprising the 447 members of
the Electoral College got together
in their respective State and cast
their ballots. The certificates as
to the result will now be made
out in triplicate in each State and
two copies despatched forthwith
to the Secretary of State at
Washington for transmission to
Congress-. The statutes make
similar detailed provision for
the final act of election, which
shall take place con the second
Wednesday in February succeed
ing every meeting of the elect
ors." On that day the Senate and
the House of Representatives
"shall'meet in the hall of the
House of Representatives at 1
O'Clock in the afternoon. Not
until the vote has been called for
by States in alphabetical order
and the result has been announc-
ed by the President of the Senate
who is the official designated for
the purpose, will the last formali-
ty of the election have been OBJ
served. The announcement of
the vote "shall be deemed suffi-
cient declaration" of the result.
The ceremony next month will be
simple enough, but as the final
formal act giving force to the
expressed wishes of about IA,
100000 voters it will not be with
out a certain impressivepess.

How You Make Good Doughnuts.

Miss Farmers recipe for
doughnuts is unlike any [ ever
found in a cook book. 1t calls
for cream Of tartar, soda and sour
milk, a seeming contradiction to
the skilled cook, yet the result is
doughnut so crisp so tender, so
delicious and so wholly free from
that dread quality, grease-soak-
ing, that fancy cook who once
tries it will always follow the rule
when doughnuts are in demand.
This is how they were made:
Two cups flour, three-fourths
teaspoon salt, three-fourths tea
spoon soda, three-fourths tea
spoon cream of tartar, fourth
tablespoon butter, one-half cup
sugar, one-half cup of sour milk,
one egg, one-fourth teaspoon nut
meg and cinnamon.
The sifted flour was put in a
bowl with the salt, soda, cream Of
tartar and spices. The butter was
rubbed in finely with the fingers.
The sugar was added, then the
well beaten egg and the sour
milk. 1t was stirred into soft
dough and tossed out on a well
Toured kneading cloth, patted
and rolled to one fourth of an inch
thickness. The doughnuts were
then cut, out, fried in deep fat,
turned as soon as they came to
the top lifted by fork passed
through the ring and drained on
brown paper. Good Housekeep-
ing for January.

The Public Edits the Magazines

at is the public that edits
magazine" writes Edward Box
in the January Ladies HomeJour-
nal. "The editor simply edits
the public's S thought as it comes
to him for expression through his
magazine. In the manner in
which he presents that thought
he may stamp his personality up
on it, and so we-know that there
is an individuality behind the
printed page. But the thought
remains that of the public, wheth-
er edited by the editor in manu-
script or expressed with his own
pen. He remains simply me-
dium placed in control of a chan
mel of expression. That channel
represents certain principles, and
those principles become what is
called the policy Of magazine.
This policy determines whether
certain questions shall be discus
sed in the affirmative or the mega
tive, or whether the questions are
important enough to be discussed
at all.
For instance, the Ladies' Home
Journal believes in everything
that viii make womau's. life
simpler, more restful and more
cheerful, Thatis its policy be-
cause it is the principle of its con
ductors-that principle being
based upon observation, expert
ence and conviction. On this
policy the magazine either ignor-
esaltoghether oropposesanything
which its conductors are convinc-
ed, for well-grounded reasons,
will complicate the lives of women
or make them restless, and there
fore.less happy. Such a policy,
one might say, is the backbone
of a magazine Upon it rests,
and this it reflects in it's opin-
ions.

"1'm sure that your father

Buckwheat Cakes.

In the chilly days of Autumn,
When the frost is on the ground,
Or in cold and dreary Winter,
When the snow lies all around,
There's an article of diet
That we're mighty glad to take,
A delicious, toothsome Wand
That is called the buckwheat cake.
When the buclwheat's on the griddle
How impatiently we wait
Through the time that's intervening
Ere the cake gets on the plate.
When the butter, or the honey,
Or the molasses, soon is spread
And the work of demolition
OF that cake goes right ahead.
Just as one is disappearing
There's another takes its place,
And a smile of satisfaction
Spreads across the eater's face.
Soon again the plate is empty,
But tits only brief delay,
For the cakes just keep on coming
Till enough are stored away.
All in vain is indigestion
To the buclwheat eater preached,
For the cakes hot from the griddle
Have the right spot always reached,
Whether early in the morning
Or at noon, or even night,
They are always warmly welcomed
And they soothe the appetite.
Just when the bucl1wheat was discov.
cred
Is fact we do not know,
But we're told it was a Wand
Several centuries ago.
On that point we're not disputing,
For we're apt to make mistakes,
But we bless the man or woman
Who invented buckwheat cakes.

this way: "Who was a well
known Biblical character never
named in fine Bible, whose death
was the most peculiar in history,
whose shroud is part Of every
household, and the cause Of whose
death was the subject Of a widely
read novel; I'll wager none of

Biblical lore, they all gave it up.

The Twentieth Century Woman

"We are twentieth century

privilege and responsibility and
which enriches woman in this
wonderful era, and | have no hes
itatiton in declaring that we are
more fortunate than any of our
predecessors, writes Margaret
r. Sangster, in the Janu-
airy Ladies' Home Journal. Our
grandmotfers and great-grand-
mothers were handicapped in
their girlhood by thousand pre-
iudices and cast-iron traditional
rules, from which we are eman-
cipated- They had neither our
wide field of activity nor our pos
sibility of thorough preparation
for life. They had not our strong
health nor our immunity from
nervous irritation. The heroine
of the past took cold if exposed to
shower; they could not walk
over frosty meadow because Of
their thin kid shoes, and came in
to the house muddy and bedrag-
gled after a mornings tramp,
which we would take without the
slightest inconvenience in our
short skirts and thick boots.
