CAKE AN OLD INSTITUTION.
The Ancient- Mad and Ate 1t, but 1,
Was N Simple Affair.

The ancients made cake. but it was
not the rich, highly seasoned and fla
vored confection which we indulge in
nowadays. They had plain cakes mad,
with -four and water, some of then
without a suspicion of sweet or flavor
Some of them were not unlike OF
plainest crackers and were often cate!
as we eat bread.
Wedding cake was an instituti0.
among them, as with us, but the cak
was plain one and was broken above
the head of the bride as she went to
her new home. This was a special fea.
ture of Roman marriages 1000 years
ago. The breaking of the cake was
part Of a solemn ceremony. All of the
cakes of ancient history are plain and
simple. 1t is only as we come down to
more modern times that we hear OF
spices and fruits and all of the rich
and luxurious ingredients in which
present day cakemakers delight. In
Queen Elizabeth's time spice cakes and
buns were eaten at weddings. From
these the fashion and fancy grew fol-
all sorts of elaborate and deliciously
unwholesome combinations until there
seems to be a perpetual struggle fol-
something new and more unusual tc
stir into the cake of the period.

CITY LEAGUE ASSURED
FIRST STEPS ARE TAKEN
Managers of Different Teams Met
Last Night at Palladium Office
May BE Made Six Team orsaniza-
tlon-Meetins Tuesday.

The preliminary arrangements for
the organization of the Saturday Aft
ernoon Baseball League were made
last night at a meeting held by the
managers of the Starr Piano, Palladi-
UNI, Pan Handle and Kibbey teams.
There will be another meeting held
Tuesday night of next week at the
Palladium office, at which meeting it
is expected that the managers of
the East Haven and Hoosier Drill
teams will attend, making a league
composed of six strong teams.

to govern the league will be pre-
sented for adoption. 1t was the
opinion of those who attended the
meeting last might that the season
should open the first Saturday in
May and close the third Saturday in
September, which would make a play
ing schedule of 20 games for each
team. At the meeting Tuesday night
three salaried umpires will be cho-
sen and a president elected. Strin-
gent rules for the paying of men play
ing on teams will be adopted.

There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube is infamed you have a rum

If Uranus. which is q star of about
the sixth magnitude, were planet
like those little ones called asteroids,
which are being discovered by the
dozen every year. 1t could not have
much claim upon popular attention.
but Uranus is really a gigantic world,
more than sixty times as large as ours.
Its vast distance, about 1.70o.000,o 600
miles from the earth, Is what causes
it to look SO small. Uranus has four
moons, which revolve backward in
their orbits-that is to say, they re-
yolvc from east to west around Uran-
us. while Uranus goes, like all the 9th
er planets, from west to east around
the sun. 1t is believed that Uranus
rotates backward on its axis also
Moreover. the axis of that great,
strange globe lies in such a direction
that in the course of its year. which
is equal to eighty-four of our years,
the sun shines almost perpendicularly
first upon one pole and then upon the
other. Measured by our time stand
ard, there are forty years of constant
daylight. followed by forty years of
unbroken night, around the poles of
Uranus. And the sun rises in the
west and sets, in the east there. But
the sun looks very small when viewed
from Uranus-only one four-hundredth
as large as it appears to lis. Still it
sheds upon that planet 1900 times as
much light as the full moon sends to
the earth. so that daylight upon Uran-
us, while faint compaEi with the
blaze of a terrestrial No lay, is nev-
illumination.

Fort Wayne, Ind. March 29.-The
Interstate baseball season will open
May 4; closes September IL. The
clubs that will open the season at
home are: Lima with Marion, Kala-
mazoo with Saginaw, Flint with Bay
City and FIT. Wayne with Muncie.
This will be the first season for the
interstate association, and those in
terested in the game will follow its
career with interest. The men be-
hind tire game are experienced in
baseball, and the outlook is bright.
They are of the opinion that the or
ganiZation should have better first
season than did the Central league it's
first year. League baseball will be
an experiment in several of the cities
however There has been little in
terest in the national sport ct Muncie
for several years, while Marion was a
failure the second season it had a
berth in the Central league. The diff
ferent managers have spent liberal
sums in obtaining talent and it is the
belief of the promoters that che race
will be close.
Anderson is now anxious to obtain
a berth in the new organization. Yes
terday the officials of the Indiana
Union Traction company notified
Manager Con Struthers, of the Lima
club, that they would provide him
with a suitable park at Anderson and
accede to all his demands. Struthers
visited Anderson last week He has
decided to open the season at Lima
however, but may later decide to
transfer the franchise to Anderson.
