OF a Wild Nature.

Just outside the entrance to the
yard at the Naval academy is an
apartment house where many young
officers live, and baby carriages are
a not infrequent sight in this vicinity.
Not long ago the commander of the
yard had a notice posted on one side
of the gate forbidding automobiles to
enter, because they frightened the
horses. Shortly afterwards the fol-
lowing unofficial notice appeared on
the other side of the gate:
Baby carriages and perambulators
not allowed in this yard. They scare

A VARIETY OF CAKES.

In making cake, have all the ma
terials at hand before beginning the
operation, then at the last moment
there will be nothing vitality impor-
tant missing. When eggs are high
we will wish to choose cakes with
few of them, and there are many.
With butter always high. we like to
use as little as possible, and subst-
tute a cheaper fat. when the flavor
may be disguised by spices.
Eggless DEVILS Food.-One cupful OF
sugar, quarter Of cup of shorten
ing, one-half cup of sour milk, two
cupfuls of flour, two squares OF choc-
olate dissolved in half cup Of boil
ing water, onehalf teaspoonful OF
salt, a half teaspoonful OF soda and a
teaspoonful of baking powder. Bake
In loaf or layers.
Coffee Cake.--Mix well together
three tablespoonfuls OF sugar with two
of melted butter, and one egg. Sift
two tablespoonfuls of baking powder
with two cups Of -four; add salt and
the grated rind of q lemon. Mix to-
gether, adding the milk gradually, al
ternating with the -four. When ready
for the oven, sprinkle with cinnamon
and sugar.
Snow Cake.-Cream half cup OF
butter, add cup of sugar, a half cup
OF milk, alternately with two cups OF
-four sifted with two teaspoonfuls OF
baking powder. Add havoring and
fold in the whites of four eggs beaten
stiff.
Pork cake.--To one cup of fat
chopped salt pork add cup OF boiling
water. one cupful Of raisins, one cup
OF brown sugar, one-half cup of mo-
lasses, enc teaspoonful Of soda and
different spices to taste. A cup of
well softened dried apples is an i'm

Price of Realty In Rome.

In the big cities OF the Old World
the highest value seems to belong to
a property In Rome. Here is where
a value of $3.50 a square foot is found,
and the land is not used for an in
come-producing building, but includes
the property of the German embassy
to Italy. Business property in Rome
does not bring nearly this high price.
In the principal centers OF Offices and
shops values do not mount much
above 5000 a square foot.

A DIET OF ONIONS.

This much abused vegetable, which
cannot conceal its presence because
of It's odoriferousness. Is one of our
most valuable vegetables. Nature
provides for her children by sending
an abundance of these little tender
green stalks to US early In the spring,
and in the fall stocks our cellars with
them for the winter using. There is
no salad, except perhaps a fruit, that
is not improved by the appetizlng zest
of bit of onion or onion juice.
When the appetite becomes keener
in the cold wintry days, care must be
taken not to over-eat. II onions are
served twice a week at least the sys-
tenn is In good tone to withstand any
drain OF disease or extra work, for
they are valuable scavengers In the
system.
A disordered system will result in
cold, which is often directly caused
by over-eating. We cannot expect the
department of the interior to go on
overworking year in and year out.
II we cut our food in half and multi
ply our exercise by two in the open
air, we would have less Of colds, grip
and pneumonia
Onions With cheese.-This is dish
especially good for a cold night sup
per. Cook sufficient onions for the
number to partake; drain them and
place a layer Of the cooked onion In
buttered baking dish, pour over
half cup of rich white sauce,
sprinkle generously with cheese. and
repeat with another layer of the
onions, white sauce and cheese. Put
into the oven and serve when well
heated through.
Onions Stuffed With sausaee.-This
is most elegant dish. which may be
used for company. Take the mild
Spanish or Bermuda onion, half
dozen or more, peel and parboil until
tender enough to scoop out a center;
chop the part taken out and mix with
we'll seasoned sausage, and fill the
centers. Make a sauce of chicken
stock, IL you have 1t, If not use butter
and water. Put the onions into
baking dish and bake, basting occa-
sionally until thoroughly tender.
Sprinkle with buttered crumbs, and
when they are brown serve from the
baking dish.
