The temperature of the oven is of great
Importance. The professional baker uses
a thermometer in testing his oven before
putting the bread in. but the home cook
can determine the proper heat by sprink-
ling little -four on the bottom of the
oven. If 1t browns quickly without TAX
ing fire it is what is known as dread

the oven ten minutes before browning,
while long, slender loaves and biscuit
should brown almost Immediately Bread
must be watched carefully while baking,
turning the loaves after they have been in
the oven five or six minutes. This is to
make them rise evenly.
After the lOaves go in increase the oven
heat slightly for ten minutes, then re-
duce gradually. In a small range the
loaves should be turned every ten or fif
teen minutes. In forty or fifty minutes
loaf will shrink somewhat and slip
easily from the pan. When well baked
an empty, hollow sound will follow a tap
with the fingers and the crust feels firm.
As soon as done take from the pans and
tip up against the bread board so that
the air may circulate freely about the

to Make
Homemade Bread

1t is a surprise to many to know that
the compressed yeast is purer and better
than the homemade variety, doing the
work much more quickly and satisfac-
torily.

ness can be told by its odor and brittle
ness. When commencing to spoil it is
sour and not brittle. The best bread flour
Is that made from winter wheat. While
fresh -four is hard to handle. making a
''runny'' dough, the bread Is peculiarly
sweet. All flour should be kept in q
cool. dry place, as dampneSS causes 1t to
absorb moisture and the gluten loses its
tenacity, causing the bread made from it
to be coarse. The -four may be mixed
with water, milk or half water and half
milk. Bread made with milk is nice the
first day or two. but rapidly detertorates
owing to the fermentation, while the

tic of bread made with water is lack.

be boiled and cooled to lukewarm. If
milk and water are used, pour the boil

the liquid should be warmer than In sum-
mer and the bread flour should be slight
ly warmed. If the weather is damp 1t is
also a good idea to warm the flour, as 1t
will rise much more quickly and be much
lighter. The proportion of liquid and
flour varies. The general rule is one

of flour. Water bread needs ordinarily
about one cupful more flour than is re-
quired where milk Is used. and therefore
1t takes more time for the rising.
For the quick process one whole yeast

the sponge is set in the early morning
and the bread Is baked by noon. For the
overnight rising half cupful OF fresh

must be taken that the water or milk Is

 CRAFT LAUNCHED

Ernest and Arthur Pengue, a car penter and plumber, living at 14S Orchard street, saw the completion of over two years work when yester- day afternoon at the Berkshire Yacht club their handsome new cruising boat, Victoria III, was launched.
 The craft is one of the handsomest of the sort in the Sound, and aside from the labor spent in building her, it's cost was over $2,0OO. It is 39 feet 10 inches long, 8 feet inches beam, and draws about feet of wa ter, and carries a 15 h.p. engine. She will fly the colors of the Pequonnock Yacht club.

Disraeli dearly loved joke at the expense of others. An author who had sent his latest effort in fiction to him received the following comp1- mentary acknowledgements:

Once upon a time a certain commu- nifty planned to give a dinner to Q judge there. When the judge came to scan the list of those invited he raised vigorous protest against one name, that of man who had been the most brilliant lawyer in town, but who was now the town drunkard. They finally overcame his opposition, but the town drunkard had heard of it., He was the last speaker called upon. He arose and said: MT. fifteen years ago had a practice in this town that amounted to $12,OO0 . year. I had a wife and family whom I sup ported in comfort. I had my own horse and carriage.
