Flour and Cake Making.

In cake making the question of flour
is Important. No two flours thicken
exactly alike. 1t is largely matter
of experience-this knowing when IL
batter is just right. More pastry -four
is required than when bread flour is
used, the difference being about two
level tablespoonfuls to the cup. Too
stiff a batter makes IN undesirable
cake, whether too much flour or too
little milk is used. When cake bat
ter is between 81 drop and II pour" 1t
Is generally about right. The consist
ency can be controlled by the use Of
milk. and with everything else care
fully measured n little more or little
less milk can be made to cover the
difference In nours.

THE CHINA CLOSET.
Some 'GoDa Suggestions as to II,
nuiidi.i,r and Fura;..,fnr

somc GoDa Suggestions as to Its
nuiidiEiy and Furnishing.
An ideal china closet is built be-
tween dining room and kitchen so that
II can be entered unohserved when
guests arc ut table. The shelves are
not moro than fourteen inches wide
lnd about nineteen inches apart If
wider than this the tendency is to pile
100 many dishes upon them, and they
are apt to give way.
Corrugated rubber such as is used
beside kitchen sinks, is an excellent
covering for the shelves and decreases
the hreakage of china by 90 e,r cent.
serviccable. device for use when
plates are s:ood on ends is to use n
rope instcnd of cleat to hold them
and to fasten it nj the corners and in
the center hy double headed tacks
driven down tightly Into the shelves
This being slightly yielding, the plates
are less apt to fall over from sudden
jar or slight blow. Heavy pieces such
as platters and vegetable dishes, should
be placed on the lowest of the broad
shelves. the greatest weight being
brought as far as possible over the
cleats
Where plates and saucers are<piled
one upon the other they should have
rounds of felt or canton flannel placed
between them. The rounds should,
never come above the hollow of the
plates. Hooks on which cups are hung
should not be screwed on the edge of
the second shelf. but well underneath
1t. They should he tested from time to
time. lest by the settling of the house
and of the shelves they become loose.
The second shelf should be about
three inches narrower than the one
beneath 1t to admit of large dishes be-
ing lifted out safely. The upper
shelves, unless used for large dishes,
may be flush with the second. The
top shelf should have broad cleat
across and around it, This is for the
purpose of keeping the various odds
and ends, such rs are usually stored
thereon. from falling over upon the
dishes.
Where possible glass should be stored
by itself. In the most modern houses
cabinets are built In the dining room
for this purpose.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

everywhere. If it We're the magnetism
of the earth which held us on to its
surface. the people at the north and
south poles, where the magnetism Is
strongest, would be held on fast, while
those ut the equator would hardly be
held on at all. In fact, they might fall
off the earth. You notice. don't you,
that the magnet has no pull halfway
between the poles? So it must be some
thing different from magnetism that
holds us to the earth, because it holds
US just as fast ut the equator as Mt the
poles"
But why can't we see 1t, papa?"
why can't you see the magnetism
Of the magnet? Why can't you see heat
and electricity? You can only see their
effects; SO it is with the wonderful
force, gravitation. We see the effect
everywhere, and it is SO common that
we never give it second thought, yet
it is the mightiest force In the uni
verse.
Long ago wise man said, The
things that are seen are temporal, but
the things that are not seen are eter-
nal,' by which he meant that the forces
that move the world and maintain Its
order and beauty are far more power
full and wonderful than those things
we can see with our eyes and handle
with our hands,"
II think" said the little boy, "that
the more we find out about the world
the more interesting 1t gets. Don't
you, papa?'-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

4. Graceful Cnrrlase,

A graceful carriage is rs necessary
to good health as to good looks. Ger.
tain exercises will do much for the
woman who hasn't always cultivated
the habit of standing and walking cor.
rectly. A great aid In the development
Of u good position is to raise the crown
Of the head as high as possible and
then try to make the chest meet the
chin. This will make n graceful car.
riage, smaller stomach, fuller chest
and more lung power. To reach either
above the head as far as possible or to
the floor without bending the knees
will decrease the size of the waist and
round it; also fill in the hollows in
front of the arms.
