English Mullins.

The regulation English mullins
are made Of raised dough and are
baked in muffin rings and on grid
die and are turned during the bak-
ing so that the mullins come out flat
on both sides. Put one-third of a
compressed yeast cake into one
third of a cupful of cold water and
let it dissolve. Have one and half
cupfuls Of water heated to blood
heat and add to,it teaspoonfnl OF
salt and the dissolved yeast. Sift
one quart Of flour and gradually stir
into it the yeast and water. This
forms dough that requires thor
ough beating. Cover and set in a
warm room for about five hours,
when it will be light and spongy.
Now shape the dough into cakes
about one-third of an inch thick
and put in the rings on warm and
slightly creased griddle. The heat
under the griddle must be very lit
tie indeed at first, for the mullins
must rise and bake slowly Later
on, as they begin to rise, pull the
griddle toward the front Of the
stove and cook q tFife more rapidly:
Thirty-fve minutes is none too long
to allow for the cooking. When
ready, break the mullins open, but.
ter them and serve. 80; :.

Effective Table Covers,

Particularly effective for table
covers is the new improved Java or
Aida canvas, which comes in very
harmonious colorinss and graceful
designs. The material being revers-
ible, a variety in the color may be
introduced by using alternately the
front and back. In one example the
pure white ground is strewn with
large lilies or dahlias and foliage
woven with spring green, while
strcaks of this tender color form 9
kind Of fretting all over the back
ground, says the Brooklyn Eagle,
Tho green parts representing the
pattern are filled with cross stitch
or, newer still, solid embroidery In
lovely natural tints, mostly wrought
in lustrine or any other glossy
thread as a substitute for silk. How
ever, a mere outlining will be found
sufficient by many, while Others still
frequently use the material as it
comes from the manufacturer. Huge
flowers are. more striking when well
shaded and relieved with Japanese
gold. Ivory work could be utilized
to cover the damask band of other
table covers in khaki shades.

In the preliminary rounds of the
governorship contest four years ago
Gen. Mccullough retired and Ed
ward c. Smith was triumphantly
seated without further trouble. This
withdrawal Of the Bennington man
hardly seems to warrant Edward {.
Smiths antagonism this year, but
the general certainly has the ex-
governors warmest opposition,
night and day, with tongue and pen.
His opposition doubtless had some
thing to do with the Proctor draft, a
belated measure that was resorted to
when it was found that Webb's can
didacy was a minor impeachment to
McCullough's progress toward
Montpelier and the state house. The
ex-governor ran his own campaign
perhaps with more ability than he is
showing just now, when he appears
to have partially lost control of the
machine-at least it is not respond
ing intelligently to his touch. Take
it all round, Proctor's friends are
not good to him. He is in bad COM
pany. He should have been left to
his original earnest intention not to
be a candidate. An excellent young
man and good citizen, of some po-
litical ambition, he is being poorly
handled.
