the fireless cooker for the preparation

which do not require quick cooking or

Notwithstanding the widely adver.

TO MAKE c0RNsTARcH CAKE
Recipe That Has Been Held of Value
for Many Years Is This
Given Below.

Put one-half cup butter in the biscuit
pan and set on back of stove Put
into your mixing bowl one-fourth cup
milk. one-fourth cup eornstarch, yolks
of two eggs and lemon extract to suit
taste. Beat the two whites and add
them. Put into your -four sitter three
quarters cup sugar, on e scant cup
-four, l 1a teaspoons baking powder.
Sift these into the other things and
whip together with few strokes.
Pour in the hot butter and mix it In
with few light strokes and pour into
the biscuit pan which is still sitting
on the stove and put into the oven to
bake. If you wish it richer, leave out
a bit Of the -four. This keeps well and
is usually nice to eat with ice cream
Bake good brown and frost if you
wish; cut in squares. The egg, milk
and extract may be put together any
time and set aside in the safe to wait
The same with the dry ingredients.
Then, when the time comes that the
oven is right they may all be whipped
together in such a short time that the
cake making is no longer bugbear
to the cook. Try this way of making
cake just once and you will never
again make it the old slow way.

thousand miles and never go astray.
During the spring and summer months
these strange animals live on land,
making the rocked slopes of islands
their abodes. Then when November
comes they slip into the sea and dis
appear, feeding upon fish, Fur seals
are more strange in their migrations
than are the hair" seals, but they
too leave their. summer abodes and
take to the waters of temperate or
tropical ocean.
Consume Millions of Fish.
While the seal family is away from
it's habitat many millions of fish are
consumed, in fact, fish and squids are
the sole diet of the animals. There
has in past years been an effort on
the part of San Francisco and bay city
fishermen to have exterminated the
sea lions which inhabit the Seal Rocks
at the cliff. These animals eat great
quantities of fish, and, it is said.
deplete to an extent the supply of fish
for the local market Every effort
of the fishermen to make war upon
the animals, however, has been baked
by the government.
Will the fur seal finally disappear, is
problem which is now urging the
United States government to take
every precaution against the extinc-
ton. Under the treaty entered into
by the United States, Japan and Rus
sia. the furSseals in the far north have
a temporary respfte> at least.
No hunter is allowed to kin the
animals on the Pribylov islands, and
consequently there is general belief
that with the protection afforded them
by the nations, the seals in the next
few years will again increase in num-
ber
From 100000 the great seal herds
in their natural habitat in Behring sea
diminished in number since the ac-
quisition of the Pribylov islands by
the United States to less than 100000.
The reduction of the seal herd from
millions to a few thousands was not
by what might be called Legitimate"
killing of the animals, but by the prac-
tice of pelagic sealing, in which the
seals were pursued in the open sea,
males and females being shot indis-
criminately. Of those shot compara-
lively small number were recovered.
the wounded getting away to die. The
abominable practice resulted in the
death by starvation of the young left
on the islands by the females which
we're shot at sea.
Statistics show that there is no
more inhuman and villainous practice
than the pursuit of seals in the open
sea. Japanese were largely respon-
sible for the Staying of thousands OF
seal by the pelagic method.
It is said that some fishermen now
occasionally shoot seals when not UNI
der observation, but the practice has
generally been stopped and the govern
ment is able to regulate the number
of seals killed on the northern islands
yearly.

many peasants, though donned in
fullest glory only on festal occasions

of shoddy trousers in place of the
snowy fustanella, or kilt, and a fimsy

has very full skirts, and thus appears
to end in a quaint abbreviated petit

In TheSsaly, where "reminiscences OF
Turkish rule survive, not only in the
mosques and other buildings, but in
the habits and appearance of the peo-
pie, the fez is not unusual, and gar
ments in the Turkish mode of baggy
breeches and a sash round the middle
are often seen. 1t was from the great
plain of Thessaly that the ancient
Greeks obtained their finest horses tof
the type seen in the Partheuoi frieze),
and in~this northern part of Greek ter
ritory horse breeding is still an import
ant pursuit.
The windmills of Greece perhaps de-
serve word of notice. In place of
the cumbrous great arms which a
similar structure in this country car
ries, the Greek windmill carries sails
of canvas which can be spread to
greater or less extent, as circum-
stances require, upon the spiders web
like arrangement of spokes to which
they are attached. The wells, also
or, at least, their machinery for draw
ing the water-are often of very
curious pattern. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see blindfold donkey

supplying motive power. through the
beam to which ne is harnessed,i to an
arrangement of clumsy wooden cog
wheels actuating an endless chain of
earthen pots, which automatically
empty themselves of the fluid hoisted

no means entirely agricultural and

vines, are orange groves at kalamata

sources of the country are consider
