WOMAN'S WORK
The Perfect Bread.

The ideal loaf should possess a
.~-oom-coIored crumb, light and po-
-o,,s with a nutty brown crust, show
mn that the -four contained the es-
~.ontial clements, the preparation of
the dough was properly made, the
conditions for healthful growth of
the Yeast plant were considered, and
the baking process (Which should be
long and slow carefully carried out,
which gives to-the bread it's delicious
4ovor. writes Mrs. Elizabeth O. Hill
er in the September Housekeeper.
The brown color of the crust, which
gives it this much-desired and pc
crIiar flavor, is caused by the forma-
ton of substances analogous to dex-
trine and caramel, developed by the
high temperature to which the
starch is exposed in the oven.
1t is supposed that one hundred
pounds of -four will produce from
one hundred and twenty-six to one
hundred and fifty pounds of bread.
This increase of weight is due to the
water incorporated in the dough and
possibly by the chemical union since
the water does not dry out of the
loaf, as it does out of a sponge.
Bread seems moist when first taken
from the oven, and dry after stand
ing some time, but the weight will
be found almost the same. Doubtless
this chemical change makes the diff
ference to the delicate digestion of
many, between fresh and stale bread.
A thick loaf of bread is more easily
Ggested, when baked properly, if
eaten after it is twenty-four hours
old.
One pound of dough should be the
weight of each loaf of bread, and two
OF these loaves may be baked in a
Russia iron bread pan four and one
halt by four and one-half by nine
inches, brushed between with melted
butter, and baked in an oven of the
right temperature, the initial tenn
perature of which should be four
hundred degrees Fahrenheit, and the
time for such sized Ioaves should be
1orty-hve minutes; if the tempera-
lure OF the oven is reduced to three
hundred and sixty degrees Fahren-
melt 1t would require one hour long
IT to completely cook the starch
grams. Rapid baking produces a
winter crumb because the starch does
uot undergo the change to develop
coIor, as well as flavor. The long,
S1o" process of baking our bread is,
therefore, the more desirable both for
ugeStlbility and flavor.

Royalties Who Write.

The list of royal authors is enlarged by the addition of the Mikalo of Japan, who is reputed to be writing poetry at rate never equaled by King Oscar of Sweden Unlike the latter, however, the Mikado considerably suppressas nearly all that he writes. not even, 1t is said. permit. ting the Empress to lay eyes on 1t. King Carlos of Portugal is another royal au- thor whose book on oceanographv has been we'll received by the experts. I'he Prince of Monaco, also, whose reputation Is chiefly associated with scientific Rambs ling, diverts his leisure with deep sea soundings, and has written an interesting book upon the strange forms of life un- der the sea. Still another royal writer Is Prince Alphonse of Bourbon, brother of Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender. His favorite theme is the abolition of dueling. Of the English royal family. Princess Victoria, the Kings only un- married daughter. Is the only one who has shown much of a literary tendency. She is credited with having written poetry. which. however, has not been pub ouB reader.

A Sure Thing at Monte Carlo.

Hiram Maxlm's letters in The New York Herald have made systems more than ever the topic of the hour at Monte Carlo In the trains from Nice or Mentone the talk runs on systems" and on scarcely compartment today the burning question was being eagerly discussed by all save one, a quiet-looking gentleman. Don't you play?" queried his neighbor at last Yes; every day regularly" came the Are you loser. like most of us?" "Oh no. I make money regularly every day." The excitment grew intense. ''Whati every day! Is that possible! What sy S. tenn, then, do you play?" But at that point the train, which had been slowing down, stopped at Monte Carlo station. The quiet gentleman alighted and. turn ing with e smile yet more pleasant, said: My system Is to play the violin in the orchestra every day."

nsrIEss TO ARGUE.

Really there's little satisfacuon ryihk to argue with a Bourbon like The Vir- ginian-Pilot. There are times when It IS comparatively sane. politically, and then 1t can declare, with every appearance of sincerity, that 1t is done with Bryan and incidentally, with Bryanism. Those are It's sober moments, but they don't last. Just because The Advertiser de- clared that Democrats must repudiate the. Populistic doctrines of Bryan and of the Chicago and Kansas City plat forms" our billy-goat contemporary shouts:
 And we tell the esteemed Advertiser that there will be no repudiation, either individually or collectively. If the bolt CTS of 1896 and 1900 desire to come back into the party, the gates stand wide open. But there is plenty of room out side, and if they imagine that loyalty win bow the knee to .treachery they should revise their imaginings.
 The Democratic party discarded the Cleveland brand of Democracy in 1896; and. be sure. 1t will not return to it.
 Isn't that tarring7 Even the muddle- headed v.-P. should be able to see that there can be no middle ground in the next national convention. There will be no top-raii, split the difference acrobatics If we can foresee results. The convention must either endorse or repudiate the doc trines and policies which Bryan still ad- heres to and which he forced the party to adopt on two occasions. If 1t endorses these failacies any man of ordinary sense can see that success is out of the ques- ton. If 1t refuses to endorse them 1t must repudiate them, though The Piolt may have some softer word for 1t. We care nothing for the word used, but the next National Democratic Convention will not adopt such a platform as the other two did, call the action repudiation, for getfulness or what you will. The result will be the same.
 We must congratulate The virginian- Pilot on the utterance of one solid truth when it says "the Democratic party dis carded the Cleveland brand of Democ- racy in lsss." That is just what 1t did, and the country discarded the party on the strength of it. and the discard has not been returned to the deck and never will be while politicians of the Bryan kind do the dealing. To borrow a phrase from our contemporary 1t can "chew upon that cud at its leisure"

pr. Enka Rolf De Wal.

Dr. Epka Rolf De Wall, a Boer physi- cial and soldier, who has been in Mont gomery during the past two weeks, told an interesting story yesterday of some of his experiences in the recent Boar war with England.
 Dr. DeWalI said he enlisted in the Transvaal army at the beginning of the war and served with the rank If com mt ndant which is the same as Brigadier- General in the United States army. He had about 4,000 soldiers under his com mand He spoke of many hard-fought battles and narrow escapes.
 He said that many of the wives and children of the Boer soldiers were inn prisoned by the enemy and were frequent ly almost starved to death.
 He wears the colors of the Transvaal army, red. white, blue and green, on his coat. Dr. DeWall said he was wounded four times. The fourth time he was cap- tured and sent to Bermuda a prisoner Refusing to swear allegiance or loyalty to the King of Englani he was confined there until after the end of the war
 When he was released, he said he went to Kingston, Jamaica. sailing from there on the German steamship Windsbraut, whose captain he knew, to Pensacola, Fla His wounds again began to trouble him and on arriving in Montgomery he went to a local hospital, where he remained two weeks.
 Dr. De Wall said that regardless of the fact that he knows but little of the Eng fish language, he writes his own pre- scrptions even in this country.
 He is en route to Philadelphia where he says he will find his uncle and sail for Holland.
 Dr. De Wall says when he gets back to South African he will practice medicine until the outbreak of another war with Englsnd. Then he will take his place among Boer fighters, That another war with England will be declared in the course of a very few years is, Dr, De Wall says. beyond a doubt.
 He says the motto of the Boers is South Africa for South Africans" and he is sure they will do all they can to maintain their rights.

IS TT AN EVASIoNp

The pro and con arguments in the case of Cole Younger are now taking a new direction. Before a full pardon was granted him he filed e solemn promise that he would not exhibit himself or al- low himself to be exhibited "as an actor or participant in any public performance. museum, circus, theatre. opera house. or any other place of public amusement or assembly where charge is made for ad- mission.''
 It is announced that Younger Is going to start . wild west show. of which he Is to be the owner and manager. but will not show himself to the public. It is charged that his managing a show of that kind is a technical violation of his promise, and that he will be indirectly exhibiting himself and will thus violate the promise he made. But according to The Minneapolis Journal if the once fa- nous bandit should actually go on the stage nothing could be done about it.. ''The pardon required him to make 8 certain promise and that he did," says The Journal. but adds that the said par don was not conditional upon his doing or not doing the things specified in the promise.''
 That being the case Younger is a free man. absolutely and internationally. and can exhibit himself in any way and at any place and time that he sees fit and nothing can be done about 1t. The par don had no string tied to 1t and the only result of his going on the stage or in any other way making an exhibition of himself will be that he violates his prom ise. Probably that win not hurt him much.

Willie and George.

Willie was very quiet and good, but George behaved awfully. He broke an ornament; he fretted and cried; he fruit knife. Finally my hostess said to him: George, why can't you behave yourself? Just look at your brother, WiI- lie. See what a perfect little gentleman he is. His good conduct ought to make you ashamed. He-a perfect gentleman, you-a little beast The good Willie, sitting upright in his chair, smiled ac. Quiescence to all this praise. George is making d-n fool of himself, isn't he? he remarked, complacently."

A PRETTY STORY.

There is a pleasant legend among the khe Iroauois Indians in connection with George Washington. According to their theology no white man could attain to the Indian Heaven, but so highly did they esteem and velerate Washington that they claimed that an exception had been made in his case. Briefly the legend Htates that just by the entrance of the red mans Heaven there is 8 walled en- closure in which are ample grounds con talning every object of nature which could please cultivated taste and ren- der 1t suitable and delightful dwelling place for the immortal Washington. In this enclosure there Is built a spacious mansion, in shape of fort, for the great chieftain's residence. Every Indian who reaches their Heaven passed by this mansion and sees and recognizes the illus trious inmate as he walks about the grounds in meditation, for no word ever passes his lips. He Is dressed in full uniform and passes his time in the soli- tary grandeur which the Indians thought befitted his high character. The rslator of the legend concludes: Surely the piety and the gratitude of the Iroquois have jointly. reared a monument to Washing ton above the skies. which is more ex- pressive In it's praise than the proudest recitals on the obellsk, and more imper- Gshable in its duration than the syenite which holds up the record to the gaze of centuries"
 Although this conception of Heaven is totally different from that held by the Christian of our race, it was the highest form of honor and happiness that the In- dians could conceive for pale-face. This Yeneration for Washington grew out of their knowledge of his exalted charac- ter, his military fame and his strict sense the British withdrew their rotection from the Indians, the Iroquois were most alarmed, for they had been the most faithful allies of England and the most jealous enemies of the Americans. They feared and with reason that the Ameri- can people, remembering the horrors and crueltles perpetrated by their red ene- mics. would wreak vengeanc on them, now that their allies had deserted them. It was then that Washington came to their relief and by insisting on a policy of justice and forbearance saved them from what was really danger of destruc- ton. For this reason thls tribe mourned him after his death as one who had really been benefactor, and thus 1t was, as We have seen, that an exception was made in his case and he was awarded the highest felicity within their conoep- ton. It Is pretty story of Indian grati- tude and justice.

Alabama's Two Senators.

Not only does Alabama claim the dis tinction of producing two of the most powerful Senators in the United States Senate, but it can also boast of the two oldest Senators of the nation. Yet their vivacity Is not exceeded by any member of the upper legislative body.
 Following are two press dispatches from Washington to Northern newspapers which illustrates a characteristic of the two:
 Last night at Il o'clock, when the Senate took a recess until II o'clock this morning, after it's attempt to tire out Senator Morgan, Morgan came out of the lobby arm in arm with his colleague Sen ator Pettus, who is S2 years old. Morgan is 79.
 Well Morgan said Senator Pettus, what can we do to put in the rest of the evening? It's too early to go to bed
 Senator Morgan, voluminous talker that he is does not prepare his speeches beforehand, and he does not dictate his ideas to stenographer What he does write out in the way of notes he does himself. and in long hand.
 Recently Senator asked the Alaba- milan how long he had been training for the fight he is now making against the Panama Canal.
 For seventy-nine years,' he replied, with some show of Indignation"

A Poor Man for Children.

The President based his opinions of race York Press. Let him take a stroll through the back districts and see the big crops of children among the i.literate and the indgent. He has not forgotten that familiar saying, "A nigger for dogs, a poor white man for children and fool for luck" It goes. The Ioor are obliged to let nature take its eourse the rich may prevent 1t. I once called upon the Governor of a treat State at his first public reception. Everybody that was anybody seemed to be there, and what pleased us all most was his Ex- cellency's good wife. with her baby boy at her breast, entertaining the guests. The sight may have caused shock at first, but every woman there went home with a motherly feeling.

Referring to the tariff commission proposition, The New York Commercial holds that "any commission that might come into existence through an adoption by Congress of the Presidents sugges- tion would probably be composed of pro- tectionists." Of course 1t would, If the members are to be appointed by Roose- welt, and 1t would be safe to predict that such a commission would do nothing to hurt the great protected industries of the country.
