COFFEE CAKE.

This may be made of the regular
bread dough or with baking powder.
For the first, take a piece Of the
risen dough large enough for small
loaf of bread; add one-quarter cup Of
soft butter, one-half cup of sugar, one
egg (well beaten) and few gratings
of nutmeg; after the ingredients are
mixed knead for a few minutes, then
pat in shape to fit a buttered pan;
the dough should be about three-quar-
tiers of an inch thick; cover with
cloth and let it rise until light: beat
one or two eggs with enough sugar to
make the consistency of thin batter,
making cuts in the raised dough with
the edge of spoon, so that it will
take the dressing; pour on to the
cake, sprinkle generously with CHINA
mon, then bake. This is the cake

Folding Doormat.

A folding doormat that is a conve-
nience for householders and saves
money to the manufacturers is that
devised by New York woman. 1t
will also save householders money in
localities where doormat thieves ply
their petty trade, for it is no trouble
at all to fold it up at night and stick
it in the vestibule. The mat is made
of metal, with two side bars and
surface of pivotally connected Stats,
like folding gates. Attached to oppo-
site ends of the side bars are cross
bars, by means of which the mat may
be held in position when in use. 9th

They mature very rapidly, reaching

They do not consume near the

is another point very much in their
favor, as feed is getting to be quite

Among other points in their favor
are the following: They have no

presented looms large. In the first
place there is grooved bracket, with
hooks by which it may be quickly
screwed fast to the wall. A shelf
hinged to the bracket fits into the
groove and along the bracket under
the shelf, and on the bottom of the
shelf are rows of hooks on which to
hang clothing. Depending from the
shelf and inclosing the clothing is a
large bag which effectually protects
the garments from the dust and other

Americans And Avarice.

The charge is often made, at home
as well as abroad, that Americans
are money mad; and of course there
is ample ground for the accusation.
There is likewise ground for the
broader assertion that the whole
world is afflicted now and has always
been afflicted with the same madness.
The Spanish invaders were wild
in their search for gold; and the
same may be said Of all invaders,
even from the beginning, since gold
was found to be precious.
The enormous sums claimed by the
rulers and dignitaries of the Old
World evidenced a greed for gold
quite equal to that which we have
developed; and there is tone that
Is funny in the criticisms of Ameri-
can avarice by the thrifty keepers Of
pensions, restaurants and hotels, and
by relic peddlers and various schools
of professional swindlers and beggars

over our avarice in cheap lectures
for which we have paid them fancy
price!
We are an .avaricious people. to be
sure, but it is just as we'll to add that
avarice is worldwide ailment and
always has been such. There are
victims of avarice to be found every

GIVE CHICKS CHARCOAL.

Have the mash moist enough so the
charcoal will stick. The chicks will

the mixture as readily as plain feed.
When they get older feed the char

SCIENCE IN FEEDING.

Observation during the summer
months proves that fowls unrestrain-
ed seek considerable part of their
food of bulky nature-the tender
grasses and clover, the weed seeds
and scattered grains, the bugs, grass
hoppers and insects. All goes to con.
firm the theory that high-priced
grains have been beneficial in wild
ening the knowledge that vegetables
and clover lessons greatly the cost
of feeding fowls during winter

rRIuMPHs OF INSURGENCY

The reports from Kansas of the re-
publican primary elections of Tuesday
show in the main triumph for the
Insurgents. This is pointer. This
shows that the party is split there as
elsewhere, and we know what party
split means. 1t means more hostility
than exists between the regular par
ties. Bitterness is never so great as
when caused by split in family, or
church. A party row is nothing
more than large family split, the
of which are lamba sting
each other with any cudgel handy.
Now that the candidates are named
out there-and now that they are call
republicans, but of different kind
will the insurgents where beaten sup
port the regulars, and will the regulars
where beaten support the insurgents
All, there's the rub. Just last week
we published an interview with a
prominent Kansan, who was fresh
from the scene of battle. He was a
democrat and of course had no interest
in this outcome, save that he sided
with the insurgents in sentiment, who
he said were working out democratic
ideas faster than the democrats could
work them. The elections ON Tuesday
were vastly in favor of insurgency
most everywhere, and the old line re-
pu blicans should have care.

A LAME EXCUSE.

Capt. Lambs excuse for not voting
for MI. Bryan in the last election, is
that he had failed to get a transfer,
having changed his residence. The
fact that a member of Congress does
not know how to preserve his vote un-
der such circumstances, or that he
omits important elements necessary to
give HIM a vote, shows such disregard
for the Issues involved as make his
conduct, as Congressman, subject to
criticism, to say the least of it. His
statement that he made speeches for
Mr.. Bryan carries little weight. He,
himself, was candidate for Congress
at the same time, and we doubt
whether he would have been heard
from had not his own election taken
place at the same time, and thus given
the incentive to speak. 1t is pretty
certain that a man who had no use tor
Mr.. Bryan, and was opposed 10 the ma
tional platform, and voted for tariff
on various items in the last Congress,
and now upholds the Payne-Aldrich
tariff as passed, was in no sense sorry
to lose his vote on technicality,
which ordinary diligence could have
avoided.

REVENUE FROM CONSERVATION

Conservation of national resources is
just beginning to become q thing of
worth, if not of beauty. On Wednes-
day the very first water power plant
under the Taft administration was
granted. 1t is situated not far from
Duluth, Mimi, and is power of
about $4,000 horse. There are certain
provisions hedging it about, the one
which possibly may be the best is, that
for cause it can be recalled. This of
course will never be done, yet it may
put the company on its good behavior.
The beauty, if such term can be ap-
piled to government grant, is that
the concession produces a revenue.
just here can be seen wha. our govern
ment might have in the way of reve-
nue. had it not heretofore given away
It's birthright. The vast plains of the
West were exploited; the rivers and
the forests have been gathered in by
the rich corporations, as hen gather
eth her chickens. Now the day has
come when there still may be some
revenue turned into the national treas
ury, from the undeveloped wealth OF
the nation in her territorial holdings.
Some portions of the West are still
unappropriated by the favored few,
and Alaska has some unstOlen wealth.
