WHEN BABY IS cHRIsTENED.
Rules Generally Observed at This I'm.
portant Ceremony.

The christening ceremony should
take place at the church unless there
is a very good reason for doing other
wise. Relatives, sponsors and friends
are invited to be present either YER
bally or the mother sends informal
little notes telling of the event, giving
the hour, etc. After the service a
luncheon. or supper may be served,
TO which the clergyman. sponsors and
relatives are invited. If nothing elab-
crate is desired 1t is perfectly proper
to have refreshments suitable for an
afternoon tea, with the time-honored
caudle. which is dring always Of
fered In olden days on the occasion OF
a christening.
This 10 the rule for making: 1t Is
best to prepare most Of 1t the day be-
fore using: Stir two cups of oatmeal
inte three quarts Of boiling sailed
water; put in three sliced lemons. a
large cup Of seeded raisins, grated
nutmeg and a stick of cinnamon. Cook
strain through colander and leave to
cool Before serving heat to the boil
ing point, add pint Of best brandy,
q pint Of mulled sherry, half lumber
Of run. and one quart of scalded milk.
Place in q punch bowl; serve in bouil-
Ion cups with silver ladle, placing
q spoonful Of whipped cream on the
top with . bit of grated lemon rind.
It is customary to ask young matron
TO serve the caudle.
AN the decorations should be white,
flowers. candle shades, cakes, etc. The
bonbons must be white sugared al
monds, they are invariably used at
French christening parties. Great
sare should be taken In selecting the
god-parents. It is customary to give
q boy two god-fathers and one god
mother; q girl has one god-mother and
one godfather. If people have means
It h proper to bestow gifts upon the
baby, who is supposed to be about
two months old at this time.
After returning from the church the
child Is not in evidence, but Is kept
quiet In the nursery following all the
unusual excitement. In some families
the Same christening robe Is handed
down from generation to generation.

Pure Food.

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but 1t is a well
known fact that baking powder in
which Alum Is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. DR.. Herman
Reinbold. the expert German chemist,
In recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that a pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream Of
Tartar powders. He says that IL the
quantity of alum contained in a suf.

NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps In Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest In
everything that goes on In the world
Is well known. but few are aware OF
the trouble he takes to keep In touch
with current affairs. According to
Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day, chang
ing the list several times week In
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas of all political parties In the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
well as that Of the interior, has to pro-
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
named and dated, and pasted on slips
ready for the emperor's perusal.
These he carefully reads, making mar
ginal notes as he goes along, and they
are then scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer
ence. Often, too. the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially interested.
