COOKING TERMS MADE PLAIN
With These Thoroughly In Mind the
Housekeeper viii Have Complete
Understanding Of Recipes.

Different terms are properly used
for different methods of combining
ingredients in cooking, as any one
who has handled a cook book very
much must know. But every one who
has tried to cook does not know just
what these various terms signify.
Stirring is one thing, beating is an
other. folding and cutting are yet
others-that we all know. But what
are they?
Stirring is effected with a circular
motion, widening from the center,
That is the technical description.
Folding is the term applied to the
motion which prevents the air already
Enclosed from escaping and at the
same time mixes the ingredients con
cerned. 1t is this motion which must
be used when whipped cream, beaten
egg whites and other light and beaten
ingredients are mixed together or
with more solid masses.
Keep the meaning of these terms in
mind when you cook according to a
recipe. Remember that an ordinary
cake you stir and beat, An omelet
o beat and fold, and you do the
same thing to a sponge cake.
Cutting is the lightest sort Of mix
ing-hardly mixing at all. Shortening
is sometimes cut into -four with a
knife. But the shortening and -four
cannot be mixed completely by cut
ting.

Alexandria played no small part in
the formative years of Washington's
youth and early manhood. A repre-
sentative Virginia town, 1t stood then
and for generations later for all that
was beat of colonial standards. Its peo-
pie had much to do with the molding
of Washington's character, and Wash
ington richly repaid Alexandria, or
Belle Haven as it was first called, by
his never failing concern for it's well
fare and advancement.
Probably no surviving structure in
Alexandria harbored Washington with
in its hospitable walls more frequently
than the old Carlyle house, and GER
tainly none was more directly associ-
ated with the foundation of the mill
tary side of his life. Strange as it
may seem, for many years this his
torical landmark has been hidden away
behind the battered front of Alexan-
dria's once noted hotel, the Braddock
house, occupying one corner of the in
ner courtyard, shut away from the pub
lie gaze and denied the outlook of the
broad approach which it once enjoyed
in the days of it's well nigh baronial
importance. Until a few years ago
the Carlyle house was largely used as
a storage place by a local dealer in
colonial antiques, but a few patriotic
Virginia women saved the building
from further indignity, though not en-
tirely from danger, as the old furni-
ture found a new abiding place within
the still more infiammable Braddock
house, adjoining.
In 1882 John s.. Carlyle imported
from the Isle of Wight the stone of
which the house is built, and he alb
sorbed for part Of the foundation a
portion of an old fort which had been
built many years before for the protec-
ton of the English traders at Hunting
Creek, as the place was then known,
against the Indians. The barracks of
that ancient defense became the cellar
of the Carlyle house, and In those
cool, dark. dry retreats were stored in
Washington's day the bullying casks,
cob-webbed bottles, and delicious old
hams for which Virginia has long been
noted.
Another part of the old fort forms
the plaza at the rear of the house upon
which the broad central hallway
opens. 1t was upon this plaza, in the
far away days. that the Carlyles and
their guests gathered on summer eve.

While it is well to dry all stockings
out of the sun, this is particularly true
of black stockings. Another precau-
ton to take so that hosiery will not
lose the quality of it's black is to add
a little vinegar to the water in which
they are rinsed-a t~easpoonful to a
quart of water is the right proportion.
1t is well, after the stockings are dry,
to shape them with the hand but not
to iron them.

SIGHT MEN OF WAR.


New York, Aug. 6.-Men of war,
menacing in their attitude of silence
as they rode peacefully on the waves,
were sighted by several incoming
steamships yesterday within 80 miles
of Sandy Hook. No attempt was
made to stop the steamships and no
reply w&s to be obtained to wireless
inquiries.
From the description given, two of
the vessels which were seen directly
in the path of transatlantic traffic
were the Dresden and the Karlsruhe,
German cruisers. These have been
reported off Sandy Hook for the last
three days, and have been in constant
communication by wireless with land
stations.
Within an hours steaming distance
from the Dresden and Karlsruhe two
other men of war were seen. They
flew no flags, but from their general
build they are believed to have been
the British cruisers, Essex and Suf-
folk, both of which have been report
ed along the Atlantic coast. In the
distance another vessel was made
out, distinctively man of war by
her lines, and thought to be the third
vessel of the British fleet.
While. no incoming steamships re-
port having sighted the French cruis-
er, Conde, cruising along the Allan
tic coast, the wireless stations at
sayville, Cape Cod, Siasconsett and
Sea Gate have heard her working and
know that she is in close proximity
to Sandy Hook.
All Ready for Attack.

the French, English and German men
of war is conjectured by naval author
