COOKING TERMS MADE PLAIN
With These Thoroughly in Mind the
Fiousekeeper 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 circular
motion, widening from the center.
That is the technical description.
Folding is the term applied to the
motion which prevents the air already
tnclosed 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
recipe. Remember that an ordinary
cake you stir and beat. An omelet
you beat and fold, and you do the
same thing to a sponge cake.
Cutting is the lightest sort Of mix
ing-hardiy mixing at all. Shortening
Is sometimes cut into flour with a
knife. But the shortening and -four
cannot be mixed completely by cut
ting.

U iERE seems to be no question
that lava, properly pulvertzed,
aged and irrigated, makes soil
as rich as any. In fact, the
plain back of Naples, to the
north Of Vesuvius, Is noted as being
one of the most productive tracts in
Europe. For some distance up the
foot of the mountain itself there are
f1ourishing vines and clunps of small
trees. But at the point which we had
now reached in our climb up the south
side of Vesuvius all vegetation, save
for few coarse grasses, ceased. The
great bulk of the mountain rose be-
fore us as black and hard and bare
as a pile of Stag. The sweet-scented
yellow flowers springing here and
there from crevices seemed by con-
trast only to heighten the desolation.

passed a plateau where the Italian
government had recently planted vines
and hardy saplings in an effort to hold
back a part of the rainfall. Not one
twig or tendril but was withered and
lifeless.
The path itself, swinging in wide,
ascending loops, was built like a cause

masses of lava. 1t was as If some

I have never seen a more villainous-
looking band than the six brawny, big
mustached fellows who now offered to
carry US on their shoulders up to the
craters edge. Within an hour as we
were about to start down again, they
would be smirkingly begging their tips
in the most obsequious manner OF the
southern Italian peasantry, but at pres
ent they seemed the ideal types of the
brigand. With the greatest difficulty
we succeeded in convincing them that
we preferred not to be carried, but to
walk unaided.
To our surprise they all started up
with us just the same. We wondered
if they enjoyed the exercise, but
learned presently they had more venal
motives. The path, If it may be called
a'path, was extremely trying. 1t rose
to an angle of about As degrees, and
was composed of slipping ashes to

GRAVE CRIME DUE TO LOVE

Iishman Who Needed Money for
His Marriage.

The first bank note forgery was
committed for loves sake. Richard
William Vaughan, a solicitors clerk,
wished to marry his employers daugh-
ter. One of the conditions imposed
was that he should produce thousand
pounds and settle half of 1t upon his
wife to be. He took a months leave
of absence, presumably to obtain the
required money from his mother, but
instead, spent the time in making an
engraved impression of a EGO Bank
Of England note.
With so of these sham notes, he pre-
scented himself at the appointed time,
and the marriage arrangements were
proceeded with. Unfortunately, he re-
auired some ready money, and put two
of the false notes into circulation.
They were promptly challenged and
Vaughan arrested.
What was to have been his wedding
day he spent in the condemned cell,
and he suffered the extreme penalty
at Tyburn in April, 1858.

as big as hogsheads. Here the black
element squirmed down in a countless
series of perpendicular loops, like a
worm. Here it lay rippled like soft
mud into which a stone has just been
dropped. Here it was smooth and
glazed, here broken and porous. And
we traversed one strange region where
1t had writhed itself into a multitude
Vt monstrous shapes-nude, contorted
men and women, disemboweled beasts,
detached heads and legs and arms and
torsos emerging horribly from the
mass. One was reminded of Dante's
vision of hell.
Panorama Is Wonderful.
1t was a relief to raise ones eyes
from this depressing sculpture to the
panorama beyond. We had now at
tanned a considerable height About
half mile below us was a sort of hol-
low, which, as Pietro explained. was
the crater that had poured the stream
Of 1906 down upon Busco Trecase. We
could trace the meanderings Of this
dark river plainly. Everywhere in the
broad valley villages were visible, and
In their midst, paler than the rest. was
one which we identified as the ruins
Of Pompeii. But the true spiendor hay
farther to the right, where. yelled in
haze, the mellow sun hung over the
Bay of Naples. That arm of purple
upon the horizon was the peninsula of
Sorrento That saddle of mountains
rising Just beyond it from the sea was
Capri, the island Of goats.
The trail grew sleeper than ever
as we neared the summit. The horses
climbed nobiy. Pietro and Giuseppe
had let go their tails, but did not cease
cursing them forward and switching
their tough hides. Presently, as we
staggered around a black shoulder, we
beheld high above US a group of men
