A Little Advice Anent Cake Baking.

The fire should be so made up that it
will last throughout the baking of IL
cake; a hotter oven is needed for a thin
cake than for thick one. The oven
door should not be opened for twenty
minutes after the cake is put in, except
in the case of small buns. when 1t may
be opened at ten minutes; Il cake should
never be Jared or the oven door
slammed.
1t is hardly possible to give the exact
time for baking cakes, but whenever
possible. the best way is to test the ar
ticle before removing it from the oven
10y running long. thin skeWer or COM
mon straw into the center Of it: if it
comes out dry and clean the cake is
done if it sticks and is wet, further
baking is required.
The heat of the oven must now be
considered. If thermometer is not in
use, the best way of testing is to tear
up shc't of kitchen paper and try the
oven by placing it in it every few min
uteS until the required temperature is
arrived at. If after the stay of q few
minutes the paper turns a dark brown
the oven is quick and ready for tarts
and things of that description. If vel
lowish-br0wn the oven is moderately
quick" or soaking" ready Tor bread,
cakes. etc. If after being left in n few
minutes, the paper is only slightly
tinged, sponge cakes. meringues, etc.
may be baked.
Oven thermometers are the greatest
help to an inexperienced cook. -Four
hundred and fifty degrees correspond to
hot" oven, 100 degrees to quick
or sharp oven. 800 degrees mod
cratcly quick. 300 degrees steady or soak
ing, 27J degrees to 30 degrees slack or
cool oven.
1t should be borne in mind, however.
that the thermometer. being on the oven
door. registers the temperature trilc
cooler than il really is.
Both bread and cakes should be a few
minutes in the oven before beginning to
color, for after they turn brown they
stop rising.
When once any fancy layer cake has
been accomplished successfully. there is
no limit to the variety of decorations and
tiavorings upon which changes may hc
rung.

VOTES A MIXED TICKET.

Colorado Woman Gives Her Reasons
for Picking Certain Candidates.
A COlOradan, a man of course has
this to say of the way some women
vote In that State: "A few days after
the election of November, 1904. for ex.
ample, was talking with young mar
ried woman of more than average intel
smaller cities Of Colorado and who de-
clared she never voted Il straight ticket
because she always voted for the men.
Il applauded and asked if she would
mind telling me how she voted and
why. Not at ALL she replied earnest
ly. 4 didn't know much about Roose-
welt or Parker. but in his pictures
Parker is much more handsome than
Roosevelt, SO l voted for the Demo-
cratic electors. l don't like Governor
Peabody's wife, so | voted for Alva
Adams. The Republican candidate for
County Clerk wants to marry friend
of mine and could right away If elect

SCISSOR got my vote because he is Il
dear old man and needed nice easy
position. The Republican candidate
for State Treasurer was Swede and
don't like Swedes, so I voted for the
Democrat. One of the candidates for
County Commissioner on the Demo
cratic ticket, they say, used to run Il
saloon, SO voted for the Republican.
L voted against the Republican candi-
date for Sheriff because his wife got a
divorce from him. took my husbands
advice regarding the other candidates
because l didn't know anything about
them myself.
Il mildly asked II she knew Of the
special qualifications of any of these
men to perform the duties Of the sew
eral offices for which they were candi-
dates. She replied that she had not
troubled about that because the rea-
sons she had stated were sufficient for
her."-San Francisco ArgOnaut.

To hunt--so Aesop says-and caught
A fine young deer. At first they thought
OF how they fairly might divide
SO fine meal. Who should decide
What share to each would rightly fall.
Since some were large and others small!
The lion was the first to speak.
For all his comrades looked SO meek:
divide this deer in four said he.
"Oh. wise Judge cried the other three.
Thanks, loyal friends since l am king.
The lion said. continuing.
Each one. know. will call it fair
To grant to me, your king, first share"
The three bowed low. The lion then,
With dignity remarked again
AS judge. one quarter falls to me-"
And bowed once more. less low. the three.
"As one who helped to catch the deer
I'll have to take a share, fear:
Now. let him take the rest" said he,
"Who wants me for his enemy"
And thus the jackal. wolf and fox

TAG TOLD DIT WAS NEW.

Card ON Mans Hat Affords Amuse.
nent to State street ThrOnR.
State street was crowded with shop
pers yesterday afternoon, when young
man came out of a popular hat store
wearing a new crush hat. There was
not only the conscious look upon his
face which indicated that fact but he
carried his head in the peculiar way
that only the possession of new and
stylish hat can produce in the average
young man. Everybody that looked ut
him saw at glance that he wore a new
hat.
1t was not alone from the signs al
ready mentioned that the circumstance
was apparent, and the young man. Of
course, did not give himself away by
carrying his discarded hat tied up in
brown paper under his arm. No; but
on the band of his hat was the shop
ticket, bearing the price mark and
some other cabalistic characters intelli-
gible to no one outside of the hat store.
On he went, all unconscious of the
attention ne was attracting anu OF the
remarks his hat was calling forth.
Young women looked at his hat and
giggled. but he did not imagine for Il
moment that anything in his appear
nnce was the cause Of their mirth. least
Of all the new hat which proudly adOrn-
ed his head. But alas. the young man
was soon to be rudely awakened by a
friend calling his attention to the adorn-
ment Of his hat.
The telltale ticket was soon removed
and the young man went his way sad
der and wiser. He carried himself
humbly and looked neither to the right
nor left, but boarded the nearest street
car in order to escape as quickly as
possible from the scene of his humlia-
ton. Something in his eye indicated
that 1t would be long time before he
patronized that hat store again.-Chi-
cago Tribune.
