HEAT IN THE OVEN.
How the Bakers Determine 1t by the
Mere Touch of the Hand.

Mere Touch of the Hand.
Bakers have curious way Of tell
ing just what the temperature of the
oven isl said a downtown baker, who
has been in the business for more than
a quarter of a century, land they can
tell, too, with almost marvellous accur-
racy. You take man who is an expert
in the business, and he can tell what
the temperature of the oven is by sim
ply touching the handle of the over
door. In nine cases out of ten he will
not miss it to the fraction Of a degree.
Bakers have other ways, of course, of
testing the heat of the oven. For in
stance, when baking bread they some
times throw a piece of white paper in
to the oven, and If it turns brown the
oven Is at the proper temperature; or,
when baking other things they will
throw q little cornmeal -four into the
oven in order to test the heat. But the
bakers fingers are the best gauge, and
when you come to think Of the differ
ent temperatures required in baking
different things, it is no small achieve
ment to even approximate the heat of
the oven by touching the handle of the
oven door.
Bakers figure that during the rising
time of loaf of bread before it has
been placed in the oven, it ought to be
in temperature of Is degrees Fahren-
heit. During the baking process, in
order to cook the starch, expand the
carbonic acid gas, air and steam, and
drive off the alcohol the inside Of the
loaf must register at least 22O degrees.
In baking rolls, buns, scenes, tea bis
cults, drop cakes, fancy cakes, New
York cakes, mullins, puff cakes and
things Of that sort, the oven must
show a heat Of 400 degrees or higher.
When the oven is at 400 degrees it is fit
for cream puffs, sugar cakes, queen
cakes, rock cakes, jumbles, lady fing
ers, rough and ready and jelly rolls.
At $50 degrees wine cakes, cup cakes,
ginger nuts and snaps, pies, ginger
bread, spice cakes, such as raisin, cur
rent, citron, pound, bride and so on,
may be baked 1t requires a still lower
temperature to bake wedding cakes,
kisses, anise drops and things in this
class. But whatever temperature the
old baker wants, he can tell when he
has 1t by simply touching the handle
of the oven door.-New Orleans Times

In thoughts OF the figures of the
United States it Is easy to overlook the
rest Of the world. There Is Russia.
When you think Of the land Of the
Gear. In fancy you see snow-coyered
plains. hear the bowling Of wolves and
the cries Of prosecuted peasants And
you wonder how such a Godforsaken,
ice-bound wilderness can support so
many tens Of millions of people. It
isn't ice-bound, the wolves do not howl
any more strenuously than they do in
some parts of the United States. and
the peasants condition Is improving
right along. The country Is prosper
ing. The estimated revenue for 1903
ts S94S.516. 900, nearly 100000 day.
A country that can stand that amount
Of taxation. direct or indirect, is great,
Tor the income exceeds that of any 9th
er nation on the globe. This year the
government will put more than $780,
100000 into new railroads. The affairs
or the nation are being so run that the
income exceeds the expenses, while In
1902 the value of exports exceeded the
value Of imports by more than $780,
100000. AS far as industrial progress

Diphtheria.-The following precau-
lions are necessary in any case of this
disease: The patient must be kept in a
room alone and no one admitted unless
needed to give medicines Or attend in
other ways. No other person should
under any circumstances occupy the
same bed. Doors communicating with
other rooms which are occupied should
be kept closed. 1t is an excellent plan
to hang over the door a sheet moistened
with a disinfectant solution. The per-
son who acts as nurse should not go
near any well children, if such ap-
proach can be prevented, but If such
contact is necessary she should put on
clean clothing after washing hands,
face and hair with disinfecting solu-
ton.

these solutions, half strength, should be
constantly near for the nurse to wash
her hands. Any article infected by pa
tfent should be placed in one of these
solutions until 1t can be burned. In
fumigating by sulphur pains should be
taken to make the room as air-tight as
possible that the fumes may not es-

Opium Poisoning.-It is not general
~ known that death may be caused in
giving paregoric to children. Paregoric
is made up Of one-sixth per cent Of
opium, the other ingredients being
anise, glycerine, camphor and alcohol.
A dose of this drug for an infant
ranges from three to five drops and for
an adult twenty drops. 1t is common
remedy for cholera infantum. Children
bear opium badly, and some are very
much more susceptible than others to
It's influence. It is common thing for
physicians to give it, however. There
are about two grains of opium to an
ounce of paregoric, and not more than
one drop ought to be given an infant
for cholera infantum.

following result: Papagoes, 80; Mexi-

the general rendezvous a number of
pleasantries were INDUCED in by the diff
ferent members OF the party upon the
molly appearance of the troop, and l got
blow squarely in the right eye from an
old Mexican neighbor, who said to me:
Don Guillermo, your countrymen are
grand on resoluting and speechifying, but
when it comes to action they show UP ex-
ceedingly thin which, in view of the fact
that 50 Americans had Solemnly pledged

Quiring where Don Guillermo was. Word
was Immediately passed down the line to
me and galloped to the front and made
a motion with my hand, reckoning the Pa
pagoes on. Without word they bounded
forward like deer and the skirmish began,
and q better executed one I never wit
messed, even from veteran soldiers. There
was not break in either line from begin
ming to end Of the affair, which covered
distance of nearly four miles before the
Indians were struck. They were COM
pletely surprised, sleeping in absolute Sc
curity in their 'wickiups' with only a buck
and a squaw as lookouts on bluff above
the rancheria; they were playing cards by
a small fire and were both dubbed to
death before they could give the alarm.
1.-THE Papagoes attacked the Apaches, in
the manner of the Pimas, in their wick
iups, with clubs and guns; all who es-
capped them and took to the bluffs were re-
ceived and dispatched by the other wing,
which occupied position above them. The
attack was so swift and fierce that within
half an hour the whole bloody work was
ended and not an adult Indian left to tell
the tale. Some % or 80 small papooses
We're spared and brought to Tucson as
captives. Not a single man of our COM
mand was hurt to mar the full measure
of our triumph, and at o'clock on the
morning of April 80 our tired troops were
resting and breakfasting on the borders
Of the San Pedro, few miles about the
post, in the full satisfaction of work

The immediate results of this episode
were that the farmers of the San Pedro

to their farms and fields, with their wives
