CATTLE WERE TOO POOR
REPORT THAT MONTEMAYOR CAT
TIE WERE TURNED BACK on
BLANCO'S ORDERS DENIED.

The report that the five hundred head
of cattle which were brought from the
Montemayor Brothers ranches to be sold
to Texas buyers were turned back on
orders issued BY General Blanco is de
clarcd untrue by those who are undoubt-
edly posted on the subject The real rca-
son for returning the cattle was that
they were found too poor for shipment.
The prospective buyers could not handle
them, and they were taken back to the
ranch on the orders Of the Mcssrs. Mon
temayor themselves. Messrs. Rabb and
Scarborough were the prospective pur-
chasers.

$4,000 Miles Of Silver.

The greatest money count In the his
tory of the United States is now on.
Every piece of money in the country's
billion-bulging treasury must be han
died and each security fingered. A
corps Of men-the most expert money
counters in the world-will work at
the task day and night, but it will
take them sixty days to finish 1t.
There are 156,7OS,96O silver dollars
alone in this vast sum. Much of the
coin counting is done by weighing, but
there is an ingenious machine which
digests silver dollars, quarters and
halves and counts them as fast as a
man can turn the handle. If the sill
yer dollars were stacked one on top
of another, they would tower S35
miles high If they could be laid In
a continuous line, each touching the
other, the silver horde would stretch

IN HOUSES OF coRNsTALK
Primitive Dwelling Places That Are
Occupied by the Poorest Glass OF
Egyptian Peasants.

On the outskirts of Alexandria we
passed numerous groups Of Bedouins.
camping by the side Of the Mahmou-
dieh canal. Out In the fields men and
women, dressed alike in the loose cot
ton gown of the country, were busily
at work. The fields were dotted with
curious doorless structures made OF
cornstalks. They are used as tempo
rary homes at certain seasons of the
year, as, for instance, when the crops
are being gathered.
Later on / entered one, and found
1t to be not more than five feet
square; one could not stand upright
inside. The place contained nothing
but few jars and cooking utensils.
In the winter the occupants wrap
themselves up in their clothes at
night, covering the heads also, but
leaving thefeet bare. The hut ] saw
was occupied by man and his son.

The Riphf Materials

Bear in mind that the best materials
make the best food.
A soft Winter wheat pastry -four is as
necessary for cakes as for biscuits. In fact,
it should always be used with baking
powder, as it absorbs moisture more
readily than hard Spring wheat bread
flour, which contains much slow dissolving
gluten. If bread flour is used for cake, one
must use at least one-third more moisture
than is called for by the recipe, for all
cake recipes are written for pastry flour.
A great deal of the uncertainty of cake
baking is eliminated by using a double
raise baking powder such as X G. The
batter need not be hurried into the oven,
nor need one be careful about slamming
the oven door, or jarring the stove. X G.
is really a blend of two baking powders,
one of which commences to raise as soon
as moisture is added; the other is inactive
until heat is applied, so that the raising is
sustained against alf danger of falling until
the cake is baked.
Cane sugar is always to be preferred for
cakes, because beet sugar is hard to dis
solve and is likely to sink to the bottom
or stick around the edges of the pan,
making an imperfect cake.
II impossible to get granulated cane
sugar, then as the next best thing, buy bar
sugar. This is very fine and easily creamed.

TIME FOR HIM TO DEPART
Youthful Lecturer, at Loss to Know

lecture at girls school He had lee

out to the platform, and he sat down
beside the matronly principal among
the women who made up the faculty,
and faced sea of girls faces, he was
young enough to feel a bit of embar-
rassment himself. 1t was rather diff

was started things went all right
He finished what he had to say and
sat down. The audience and the ma
tronly principal and the women who
made up the faculty clapped their
hands enthusiastically. Then the ap-
plause died down and silence settled
upon the lecture hall. The young man
sat on waiting for some one to say
something, dimly conscious that a
move Of one kind or another was ex-
pected OF him. But his lecture was fin
ished; he had said all he had to say;
there were no questions from faculty
or students. A few Of the girls be-
gan to fidget, but no one spoke.

Euyptian Justice.

In ancient Egypt all court business
was carried on in writing, in order
that the decision might not be in
fluenced by oratory or personal ap'
peal. The laws lay before the judges
upon a table, and the accuser declared
in writing how he had been injured
whereupon the defendant stated in
writing what he had to say. Then
came a rejoinder from each party to
the case, after which the judges de-
liberated among themselves until they
had hit upon the proper legal penalty
for the party who had in the mean
time been adjudged guilty. This point
being reached the president of the
judges touched with an image of
Thmei, the Goddess of Truth" the
manuscript Of the guilty pleader and
the case was over.

Baking

One of the most important things about
baking cakes is to have a moderate oven
at the start; in fact, in using q gas, oil or
gasoline stove. it is not necessary to light
the stove until the cake has been put in.
Then there should be a very low flame at
first After the cake has doubled in bulk,
increase the heat and bake until brown
cc;ist is formed and the center will respond
to the touch. Never allow crust to form
over cake before the batter has doubled
In wood or coal range have very light
fire in the fire box After the cake is in the
oven, replen;sh the fire and by the time it
has burned up the batter will have
doubled and is ready for the hot oven to
finish it. 1t is impossible to specify the
length of time to bake cakes, for the larger
and thicker the layer, the longer it takes

built and endowed the great Guys

Guy had a maid servant of strictly
frugal habits, who made his wishes
her careful study. He resolved to
make her his wife. The necessary
preparations we're made for the we'd

repairs were ordered by Mr.. Guy In
and about his house. The latter in

opposite the street door. 1t so hap.

served q piece of pavement beyond
her masters house that required
mending, and of her own accord she
gave orders to the workmen to do this
Tbi6 was done in the absence of MI
Guy, who on seeing more work done
Z than he had ordered was informed
that the additional work had been
done by the mistress's orders. There
upon Guy told Sally she had forgotten
her position. and added: "If you take
upon yourself to order matters con.
trary TO my instructions before we are
married. what will you not do after?
] renounce my matrimonial intentions
toward you" SO SALLY lost a rich and
Il -
noble institution for her poor.
