Cookinu hints.

Fried cakes made with brown
sugar will keep moist longer than
when made with white sugar. Never
wash raisins that are to be used IN
sweet dishes. 1t will make the pud-
ding or cake heavy. Roll nuts or
fruit in flour before adding to the
other ingredients in making a cake.
This will prevent them from sinking
to the bottom.

MY friend has c house to rent down the shore

stand In one OF the leading hotels. Al least he
sald he did and he used the hotel stationery. He
said he could not come to see her himself about
the place, which seemed to be Just what he wanted,
but that his brother would call next morning at
IL. The young man was there in due time and
talked to the lady. getting all the particulars. He
had a beg with him and said he was going down
in that nclghborhood to visit q friend for q day
or two and was then on his way TO the train. He
would see the house that day and write her next
day whether his brother would take II or not. He
casually put his hand into his hip pocket as he
was starting away and a panied and surprised
look came into his face, She Asked him what was
wrong, and he said he had been touched for his
pocket book and Its contents, about $50, and he
was sure he knew the man on the car who had
done It. lie laughed and said he would have to
pu, up his scarf pin for the price OF the ticket. but
he'd be all right when he got to his friends. She
was sou for him. OF course. but she had only a
dollar. He could have that II he wanted II, He
could have rot SIS Just rs easily, II she had Ind II,
He took II with apologies and promiSed 10 send II
right back next day when lie wrote to tell her about
the house. So far he hasn't written TO tell her
about the house. The cigar stand man hasn't any
brother.
Now the lady Is hoping that the young man will
br irving to work others as he worked her. and II
the police ever PICK him up and she hears OF II
she'll he on hand to see what she can get for her

Causes Of Badness.

From the Nep York Medical journal.
A new explanation for badness has been given
by Lucicn Jacquct. who concludes that the trouble
has, In most cases AT least q nervous origin.
He calls attention TO the fact that the condition
Is more common among Intellectual persons than
among others. He Is convinced that badness is
OF frequent occurrence. not only among those who
are intellectual. but also among those who are
subjected 10 intense mental strain. and under such
circumstances II may occur comparatively early.
Badness increases with civilization. and Broca
mas noticed the curious fact that since women have
devoted themselves to intellectual pursuits and
have grown accustomed to employ their cerebral
centres In a more intense manner badness, which
formerly was rare among them, he's progressively
become more frequent.
Furthermore. Jacquet has found In several cases
of EARLY badness that there Is a drgrnti alive In
namma:ion Of the nerves OF the scalp. He con.
cludt rs that the functional excitation OF the higher
nerve centres in the struggle with the environment
at FIRST caused an Increased growth OF the hair,
Subsequently, In the evolution OF the race or Of the
Individual. there came a period OF functional cx-
haustion. This Is held to be In accordance with
the law that eXcltation at frst creates Increased
vigor OF . junction. then OF It's organ: similarly,
excess OF Irritation CAUSES functional distm bance
and, II continued, lesion OF the organ.

RIVERSIDE EXTENSION.
Aldermen for Delaying General Grant
entII Plans Are Settled Dn,

The Aldefmen'a Committee on Finance
gave a public hearing yesterday on the
proposal to appropriate IS, 75o,o 40 for tho
extension Of Riverside Drive and 20 provide
approaches to the Henry Hudson Memorial
Bridge, which will be part Of the Drive and
will span Spuyten Duyvil Creek, Another
resolution included in the hearing called for
an appropriation OF $40, goo for plans.
A large delegation Of property owners
of the Washington Heights district at.
tended the hearing, and while their spokes.
men advocated the improvement as a gen.
eral scheme they asked the committee to
delay definite action until the detailed plans
have been drawn. As yet such comprc.
hensive plans have not been made and The
property owners expressed apprehension
that II the Appropriation should be granted
before the final plans were adopted the
tentative scheme mis- hit be changed arhi-
trarily, with the result that property inter-
este might be jeoparded, They contended
that should the resolution granting the
appropriation be passed the Borough Presi-
dent would have IL in his power to make
any change he might think fit in the tenta-
tive plans without giving the property
holders a chance to be heard.
The committee will report favorably upon
the appropriation for detailed plans and
will recommend that the larger a%ppropria-
ton be delayed until the final plans have
been passed upon by the Board OF Estimate.

In Pennsylvania.

The organization Republicans Of Penn
~sylvania have nominated an eetimable
gentleman for Governor in the person Of
ex-Mayor EDWIN 8. STUART Of Phila-
delphia and adopted a reform platform
which reads like a masterpiece OF the
Lincoln Republicans, who are still war
like in the field with the Hon. LEWIS
EMERY, Jr., a resolute reformer Of other
days, as their candidate.
The organization Republicans have
invoked the prestige Of President RoosE-
WELT to gid their refined labors and
dignity their cause. Previously the in
dependent Republicans had done very
much the same thing by claiming the
sympathy Of Mr.. ROOSEVELT.
The platform adopted by the organi-
cation Republicans was a confession that
the Republican voters who rose in their
might and elected a Democrat TO the
office of State Treasurer a year after
President ROOSEVELT got a plurality Of
a round half million in Pennsylvania
were justified in leaving their party for
it's W good, and the ticket headed by
a gentleman of i~rreproachable character,
without an enemy in the world is a
pledge to sin NO more if the seceders will
return to the ranks of the faithful.
There can be no doubt that the ma
chine Republicans put forward Mr..
STUART to checkmate the Lincoln party.
Nominate STUART" was the cry in the
convention, and you will remove every
excuse for voting the independent ticket.
But now Colonel jim GUFFEY has been
s%quelched; and what if the Democrats
should find every xcuse for voting the
independent ticket?
.Prophesying unless you know is haz-
ardous; but it is obvious that reform
within the great party in Pennsylvania
must rest upon the pledge given at Har-
risburg by a convention of which the
Hon. BoIEs PENRosE was genius.
