CAKE At ITS BEST
MIXTURE OF INGREDIENTS AN
IMPORTANT MATTER.
Measuring Cup Should Always Be
Used, Unless One Is Especially
Gifted-Other Things 1t Is
Well to Remember.

The measuring cup is the first aid to
the amateur cake baker. Nowadays
most professional cooks weigh and
measure with great care. To be sure
there are still old southern mammies
and gifted New England housewives
who can put a cake together without
the help of any measuring apparatus
save scoop and their own good eye.
A glass measuring cup-better than
q tin one because it is easier to get
exact fractions of a cup in one that
is transparent-better also because it
is easier to keep it thoroughly clean
and dry-a teaspoon, a tablespoon
not soup spoon nor a dessert spoon
nor one of those huge metal spoons
used for mixing batters and basting
meats-should be part of the equip
ment of every cake baker. A pair Of
scales is also useful, if they are re-
liable. 1t is difficult, however, in some
places to buy good scales. Although
flour varies in weight and quality it
is usually safe to allow four even
cupfuls of sifted flour to the pound.
Two cupfuls of granulated sugar
weigh a pound. Butter has the same
weight, so that two ounces measure a
quarter of a cupful.
With these equations it is easy to
translate weights into measures.
Never grease cake pans with but
ter, as this has very low burning
temperature. Lard has higher burn
ing temperature, and hence cake in
larded pan does not burn on the bot
tom SO easily as cake in a buttered
pan.
Keep a small painful of water in
the oven in which cake is baked. The
steam thus generated keeps the tenn
perature of the oven even and helps
to make the baking slow and even.
Don't stand the pan Of water direct
ly under the cake, as this sometimes
causes part Of the underside of the
cake to be less baked than the rest.
Place a wire rack in the oven under
the cake pans, and be sure to keep the
oven cool enough at the top to prevent
burning. These precautions are espe-
cially necessary in gas oven, which
is usually hot.

NOT LIKE NEW EXPERIENCE
the Franks INDUCED In by His
Frisky Horse.

The eccentricities of Yankee char
acter are innumerable, and they are
almost always amusing. In a Maine
town gentleman was standing with
some friends on his tennis lawn when
the horse of the village butcher--a
rather frisky animal-came dashing
madly over terrace from the street,
f1inging the unfortunate butcher into
the tennis net with shoulder of beef
on top of him, and big block of ice
thumped with good deal of force into
his side.
The fiery steed completed his work
by dragging the wagon to which he
was attached over his PROSTATE mas
ter and then flying away to demolish
it and the lawn turf together by
careening along until stopped by q
tree. The butcher was taken up in
sensible and pretty badly bruised. AS
soon as he could be restored to con-
seriousness one of the bystanders pro-
nounced the usual conundrum whether
he was hurt.
The butcher tried to move, found
he could not. gave sickly smile, and
then said, jauntily: y
"Oh, it's nothing! don't mind. I'm
used to it."

Agent Uses Auto and Electric Lights
to Draw Customers to Buy
the Good Book.

An automobile strung with electric

FREELY, a moving picture machine and
a high-power searchlight would hardly
seem the correct equipment to aid IN
selling books, but J. L. Mclaughlin OF
Manila, agent for the American Bible
society, sold 100000 copies Of the Bible
: in the Philippines in the last two years
with just such gear, aided by his own
Yankee salesmanship.
Selling Bibles, says Mr.. Mclaughlin,
is like selling any other article-lt
takes salesmanship and ingenuity. The
lighted automobile is his own scheme,
and through it he made record sale
of 1880 Bibles in one evening.
81 drive this automobile through the
country in the early evening and as
soon as 1t gets dark turn on power
full magnetic that have geared to the
engine. 1t gives me enough current for
100 ordinary electric lights, and I have
them strung all over the machine.
81 also operate a searchlight and
turn the beam in every direction up
and down and across the country.
Then when / reach a village I have
a procession of natives behind me like
the tail of a comet, attracted by the

so that moving picture machine can

CANNING CORN FOR WINTER
Try This Method That Is Recommend
ed by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Cut corn from cob when it is at the
proper stage and in filling the cans or
glass jars in which it is to be pre-
served put some corn in the bottom,
MASKING this down with cob from
which the corn has been cut, until the
milk comes out well. Put in another
layer and mash again, and so on until
the jar is full. The cans should be
slightly heaping and the covers then
screwed on tight. When the cans are
filled and covers on they should be
put in the boiler and set on a cart or
frame so that they will not touch the
bottom. And they should be so ar
ranged that they will not touch each
other. The boiler should then be filled
with cold water, brought to boil and
allowed to boil for four hours. Let
stand until water is cool; then remove
cans and try covers to see if they are
tight. The cans should be kept COW
cred with water while boiling, and this
may be done by keeping a kettle of
boiling water handy. This method of
canning is recommended by the de-
partment of agriculture as the most
satisfactory for preserving corn, beans,
peas and other vegetables.

are at considerable distance from the
road where the mail boxes are erect
ed on posts In order to ascertain
whether or not the postman has left
any mail it is necessary to make u
trip to the roadside and very often
with the result that no mail is found.
Now, the idea of this improved mail
box is to save steps, as will be seen.
A good idea of the construction Of
the device may be obtained by the
illustration shown. 1t will be noticed
that when the metal cover is lifted
it comes into contact with the small
brass strip affixed at the rear of the
box, thus creating a complete circuit.
Wires are run from this contact, and
also from the metal lid, to the house
where there is an electric bell, fitted
with battery, which is made to ring
by the current created by the contact,
thus announcing the definite arrival
of the mail.

devices, had a reform story that he
would tell while exhibiting his queer

reform. The way most people act,
you'd think they all believed religiously
in the reform story.
