HEAT in THE OVEN.
How the Bakers Deternaine 1t by tho
Mere Touch of the Hand

How the Bakers Determine 1t by tho
Mere Touch of the Hand.
''Bakers have curious way Of tell
ing just what the temperature of the
oven is" said baker who has been in
the business for more than quarter
of century, "and they can tell, too,
with almost marvellous accuracy. You
take u man who is an expert in the
business, and he can tell what the tenn
perature of the oven is by simply
touching the handle Of the oven door.
In nine cases out of ten he will not
miss 1t 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 q piece of white paper in
to the oven, and If 1t turns brown the
oven Is at the proper temperature, or,
when baking other things, they will
throw little cornmeal flour 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 diff
ferent temperatures required in bak-
ing different things it is no small
achievement to even approximate the
heat of the oven by touching the han
die Of the oven door.
Bakers figure that during the rising
time of loaf of bread, after it has
been placed in the oven, 1t ought to be
in temperature of rs degrees f. Dur
ing the baking process, in order to cook
the starch, expand the carbonic acid
gas. air and steam and drive of the al
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1903-03-11

cohol, the inside Of the loaf must reg
lister at least 22O degrees. In baking
rolls, buns, scenes, tea biscuits, drop
cakes, fancy cakes, New York cakes,
mullins. puff cakes and things of that
sort the oven must show heat of $50
degrees or higher. When the oven is
at 400 degrees, it is fit for cream puffs,
sugar cakes, queen cakes, rock cakes,
jumbles, lady fingers, rough and ready
and jelly rolls. At $50 degrees wine
cakes, cup cakes, ginger nuts and
snaps, pies, gingerbread, spice cakes,
such as raisin, currant, citron, pound,
bride and so on, may be baked. It
requires still lower temperature to
bake wedding cakes, kisses, anise drops
and things in this class. But, what
ever temperature the old baker wants,
he can tell when he has it by simply
touching the handle Of the oven door"

PoLlTENEss in JAPAN.
Even "Givins Notice" Is Made IN oc-
casion of Compliments.

Even "Giving Notice" Is Made an Oc-
casion of Compliments.
Politeness distinguishes the relations
between mistresses and maids In ia.
pan. 1t is SO memorable in Japan that
even the ceremony of "giving notice"
is turned into an occasion of compli-
ments. There are no vulgar threats
or sulkings or determinations or scold-
ings or answering back" A servant
will never tell her mistress that she is
dissatisfied or has had some better
place offered her. That would be I'M
pardonably rude. Instead she asks
for few days leave of absence. This
is willingly granted, for Japanese serv-
ants have no settled time for taking
holidays.
At the end of the given time the mis-
tress will begin to wonder what has be-
come of the girl. She is not left to
wonder long. A letter arrives couched
in the most polite and humble terms
and giving any excuse but the real one.
Sometimes it will be that she has
found herself too weak for service or
that illness ut home detains her. What
ever 1t may be, the plea is never con-
tested, but accepted US final and new
servant engaged. Then, after some
weeks have passed, very likely after
taking fresh place, the old servant
will turn up one day, express her
thanks for past kindnesses and regrets
at not returning in time, will take her
arrears Of wages and her bundles and
disappear forever. So the matter ends
with the kindest semblance Of feeling
on both sides.
If the mistress on her part does not
wish to have the girl back, she will not
tell her SO to her face, but will send
word. Even when servants come on
trial for few days they often leave
nominally to fetch their belongings or
make arrangements for their return.
never because they have any "com-
plants" to make. Any discomfort is
to be endured rather than the suspi.

leading up to "scene."

GREELEYs REVENGE.
Outcome of the Editors TIL with
Elizabeth Cndy stanton.

Outcome of the Editors TIT With
Elizabeth Cady stanton.
The late Elizabeth Cady Stanton was
particularly apt ut retort, and one Of
her swift parties of thrust delivered
by Horace Greeley against her favorite
doctrine of woman suffrage is historic.
Madam" said Horace one day dur.
ing the civil war, 1.-The ballot and the
bullet go together. If you want to
vote. are you ready to f1ght?"
Certainly, sir" she responded. "I
nm ready to fight, just as you are fight
Ing, through substitute"
Notwithstanding their differences of
opinion, Mrs. Stanton and Greeley
were personally friendly until the New
York constitutional convention of 1868.
A woman suffrage clause was strenu-
ously pressed upon that body and as
vigorously opposed by Mr.. Greeley.
One day, after the Tribune editor had
made some particularly rasping re-
marks upon the subject, George Will
liam Curtis rose and said:
II have the honor, Mr. Chairman, to
present u petition in favor of the wom-
an suffrage amendment signed by Mrs.
Horace Greeley and 300 other ladies'"
Greeley was furious and rightly as
cribed the appearance of the memorial
at that moment to Mrs. Stanton.
"Why did you not put my wifes
maiden name on that petition and Gull
her Mary Cheney Greeley?" he de-
manded the next time they met.
Because" said Mrs. Stanton, II
wanted all the world to know that
Horace Greeley's wife protested against
her husbands report on the suffrage
amendment"
"All right" retorted the editor. "Here-
after you shall always be spoken of in
the Tribune as Mrs. Henry B. Stan
ton." And SO 1t was to the time of her
death, although the name of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton was known to hundreds
of thousands who could not identify
the woman by the appellation under
which the Tribune, for revenge, tried
to obscure her fame.-Pilgrim.

sTAeEcoAcH DAYS.
Story of n Trip From Portsmouth to
London In 1850.

Story of Trip From Portsmouth to
London In 1850.
There are men and women-and they
are not always the old-who deplore
the breathless pace of the age. In
stagecoach days, they tell us, life was
different thing. People journeyed
through the years leisurely then; ex-
istence had a flavor. A century ago a
Journey meant fellowship and merry
adventures and comfortable enjoy
ment of the beauties of the landscape.
All this may be SO, but traveller
who made the journey from Ports
mouth to London In 1880 shows that
even stagecoach days had their shad-
ows.
"The getting up on the coach alone
was at the risk of ones life," he wrote,
"and when was up had nothing to
hold on to except little handle at the
side. The moment we set Off thought
l saw certain death before me- The
machine rolled with tremendous rapid
ity over the stones and every minute
seemed to fly in the air, so that it ap-
we stuck to the coach at oil.
"This continual fear Of death at last
became insupportable to me, and l
carefully crept along the top Of the
coach and ensconced myself in the
basket behind.
ION sudden the coach proceeded ut
rapid rate down hill. All the boxes,
iron nailed and copper fastened, began
to dance around me, and every moment
1 received such violent blows that 1
thought my last hour had come Shak-
en- to pieces, bleeding and sore, crept
back to my former position. And it
rained necessarily, and as before we
were covered with dust so now we
were soaked with rain.
my neighbor every now and then
fell asleep and when in this state per-
petually rolled and jolted against me
with the whole weight of his body,
more than once nearly pushing me
from the seat to which l chung with
the last strength Of despair. 1 looked
and certainly felt like crazy fool
when l arrived in London"
The letter is realistic. 1t is possible
that twentieth century travelling, al
though unromantic, has its compensa-
tons after all.-Youth's Companion.

another man comes into the room-the

morning. He looks scared; he has

way.
"'Have you brought it?' he asks

The other seems to go into a sort of
panic. He walks up to the table like q
crab, the pistol in his left hand and
that side of him coming foremost.
Yes; I've got it, he says, and then
he breaks into sort Of harangue. Nc

"Walmsley?" he repeated. "What

Don't break in. This is too big a
thing to be fooled with. NO tricks
that's what you said. He was afraid
the other fellow would do him out of
something"
Donald looked down at the table and
put his fingers lightly upon the scar in
it before he proceeded.
"You shall have your price, Walms-
ley said Westcott, and you shall leave
this room with it in your pocket, and l
will not put the law upon you for this
crime. give you my word US an off,

next second it went spinning across
the room. Walmsley gave cry like
some wild animal. He seemed to lose
his wits. Meanwhile Westcott had ris-
en- to his feet, his right hand being be-
hind him. The document lay between
them on the table just there"
And Donald laid his finger upon a
certain spot
II cannot understand what insane
impulse moved Walmsley, but he
reached forward to snatch the deed. 1
think he must have meant to get it
anyway, protected by his pistol; to get
the money, display the document and
then treacherously take it again in or
der to have a hold upon the other,
and his mind was 80 set upon this act
that he performed it mechanically in
his terror, forgetting the loss of his
weapon.
Westcott made a sudden sweep with
his right arm, incredibly rapid. I can
hear the whistling sound of his sword
In the air. He had been holding cav.

fingers were closed upon the deed and
be was drawing it toward him. Those
fingers, long and yellow, remained
clasped about that bit of paper, even
after the hand fell away from the
arm, severed clean by the strongest
blow ever saw or dreamed Of"
There was pause during which I
was aware that every one breathed
rather hard, including myself.
'Walmsley screamed, but not very
loudly" continued Donald. at was the
quick cry of horror and surprise. He
stared ut his own hand, lying there
upon the table. In an instant Westcott
caught him and ripped his right shout
der and arm bare. He had everything
ready, and he worked with great skill.
He put tight bandage around the arm
above the elbow; then he did some
thing to the wrist, tying up the severed
arteries, suppose. When this was
done and the stump wrapped in cloths,
he picked Walmsley up in his arms,
for the man had tainted, and carried
him out through that window"
