Rich Bride Cake.

Take four pounds sifted -four, four
pounds of sweet, fresh butter, beaten
10 a cream, and two pounds of white
powdered sugar. Take six eggs for
each pound of flour, an ounce of
ground mace or nutmeg and a table
spoonful OF lemon extract or orange
flower water. A very pretty way in
which to present pieces of this cake
TO your guests is to cut out each piece
in the shape of a heart, and put on
each separate piece the initial in
frosting, Of each guest to whom the
cake is to be given. Present the cake
in either pink gilt-edged, heart-shaped
boxes, or, if you cannot go to the ex-
pense of having the boxes made, wrap
ne pieces in frilled tissue paper, TIED
with dainty pink silk baby ribbon.

BLEACHING Linen.

The linens of olden days were handed
down from mother 10 daughter, but
such is far from being the case to-day,
owing to the difference in bleaching.
Where formerly it took months OF
sunshine and rain to bring about the
desired whiteness, now it is done in
two or three days by means of strong
mineral gases whose fumes bleach, &C
cording to their strength, more or less
quickly So it is not a poor idea to
buy linen which is not yet bleached
white, as a few trips to the laundry
will remedy this. and in addition it is
cheaper, for the bleaching process is
a costly one. Then, too, the use OF
tablecloths and sheets would be
heightened, appreciably, since over
bleaching rots the fibers. This is why
blouses seem to melt away in spots.

One night at Lady Jeune's house Jo-
seph Chamberlain said to me that he
believed any man of even moderate en-
dowment could attain any given aim
which he set before him with unre-
hitting effort and enduring to the
end" To my question. why. then. do
so many men fall short of their ambi-
tions?" he. answered: They come to
the place where they turn back. They
may have killed the dragon at the first
bridge and at the second, perhaps at
the third; but the dragons are always
more formidable the further We go.
Many turn back disheartened. and
very few will meet the monsters to
the end. Almost none is willing to
have a try with tie demon at the last
bridge; but IL he docs, nc has won
forever. ''-Frincoss LazaroYich iirebe-

fAvoRIrE DISH IN MEXICO
Hot Tamaies Worth introduction Into
American Ritchens-How They
Should Be Made.

The Mexican recipe for making hot
tamalcs is to cook one or two chick
ems until tender Remove all meat
from the bone, shred It in the chop
ping machine and add to II the liquor
in which the chicken has been
cooked. This is seasoned with any
desired condiments, especially red
pepper, and thickened with cornmeal.
The rolls are about the size OF link
sausages and they are wrapped in the
inner husks OF green corn. Tie the
husks with strings at each end and
boil them for three hours. II is best
to taste the preparation before add
ing meal to note whether 1t is rich
or needs more seasoning. allowing for
the meal to be added, which will take
up the sharp flavor.
To make tamale pie, take one pound
of hamburg steak or leftover meat
cut fine, add one level cupful of seed
ed raisins, one dozen stoned olives,
salt, pepper and red pepper to taste.
Stew until tender and thicken with
one tablespoonful of cornmeal Then
stir one and one-half cupfuls of corn
meal into boiling sailed water, add
one tablespoonful of shortening and
cool to the consistency of mush. Line
a buttered baking dish with about
two-thirds of this mixture, pour in
the meat, cover with the remaining
mixture and bake for one-half hour

FOSSIL FOREST IN AMERICA
Yellowstone Park Contains One Of the
Most Remarkable Of Natural
curiosites.

Remarkable fossil forests exist in
Yellowstone park, the most remark
able. it is believed, of the several fos-
sill forests which have been discovered
there are others in Egypt, in Cali
fornia and in Arizona-because in the
Yellowstone most of the trees were
entombed in their original upright po-
sition and not found recumbent and
scattered about the ground.
In Arizona, for instance, the fos-
silized trunks have evidently been car
ried a long distance from where they
originally grew.
In the Yellowstone the trees now
stand where they grew, and where
they are entombed by the outpouring
of various volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on the steep
hillsides just as they stood when they
were living; in fact, 1t is difficult at
little distance to distinguish some OF
these fossil trunks from the lichen-
covered stumps of kindred living spe-
cies. Such an aggregation of fossil
trunks is therefore we'll entitled to be
called a true fossil forest.
1t should not be supposed. however,
that these trees still retain their limbs
and smaller branches. for the mass Of
volcanic material falling on them
stripped them down to bare, upright
trunks.

Words in EnaIlsh Language.

The English language is constantly
growing and almost every persons
vocabulary changes from year to year.
The first edition of Websters diction-
airy. two quarto volumes, published in
1928, contained 10000 words and this
number was increased by several
thousand in the second edition of
Webster's dictionary in 1910. An edi-
tion of 1890 contained 175000 words
and the latest edition has more than
100000. Many of these are technical,
scientific, or for other reasons re
stricted to limited use. but neverthe-
less they are words. Obviously an
educated man has a larger vocabulary,
or command of words, than an unedu-
Gated one and a professional writer or
public speaker needs more than a day
laborer. Shakespeare had a vocabu-
larry of about $4,000 words. but some
that he used are now obsolete, while
a large number of row ones have been
added. Milton used about 5000 words.
It is not likely that any public speak.

hundred.

COULDN'T HIT EN-.
Wolves Got Another Lucky
Game Off the Savages.
Davis Should Have Been
Knocked Out of the Park.

Wichita put on display another
specimen of the horseshoe helix-an
Oklahoma-Kansas league pitcher by
the name of Davis-and he got away
with a to 1 victory in a manner so
mysterious that it looked like he was
using Yogism on the Topeka batters.
Like himself, Davis's fast ball was a.
helix, and aside from it he didn't have
anything that looked like stuff
But the Savages were as helpless at
the plate as armless men and they al
lowed him to get away with it until
the ninth inning when he even lost his
control and Koestner was called upon
to keep the victory from slipping out
of the sack.
Kruger got a two-base hit in the
first inning, Tydeman a single in the
second and Agler one in the third. But
never did any two Topeka players
connect in one inning and the only
score was made in the fifth when
Agler tripled and counted on an in
field out. Goodwin got his bat in
front of one in the eighth and Trainer
did likewise in the ninth. but aside
from these, hits were as scarce as
pearls in hen eggs, and there is no
alibi to be offered.
A cause for the poor hitting of the
Topeka players is assuming the pro-
I portions of a mystery. Some of the
fans seem to think some of them are
not trying, some believe that they just
naturally are losing their eyesight and
some that they lose heart too quickly.
The charge is being made on the
streets that several of the players are
loafing.
The loafing charge may be true in
one or two cases. It will hardly hold
good when applied to the team as a
whole. The fast game the players
are putting up in the field refutes it,
and the well known ball players love
for base hits, discredits it. Besides,
no one can accuse Agler, Monroe.
Cochran, Trainer or Tydeman of not
doing their level best at all times. And
Allen, the new catcher, stays on his
toes all the time.
Next to their inability to hit, the
Savages were handicapped by poor
pitching more than by anything else
Thursday. Irion, who started the
game. lasted just long enough to fill
up the bases West relieved him and
pulled out of the hole nicely but after
the second inning he went bad and be-
fore the third out in the fifth had al
lowed seven hits to count the four
| scored made. Pete Henning did the
serving from the fifth to the end and
he made the only creditable mound
showing of the afternoon. aT1owins

JOHNSON AT BAT
A. L. President Takes Crack at
Pinch Hitting.
Removing Pitchers Is Harmful
to Game, He Says.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 23.-The pinch
hitting craze, with which baseball
managers appear to have become at
flicted, has an ardent opponent in B.
B. johnson. president Of the Ameri-
can league, according to statement
made public by him today. He de-
clared he favored baseball legislation
to curb the pinch hitting habit. Mr..
Johnson thinks managers by constant
ly shifting pitchers are not only in
juring the pitchers themselves, but
are reducing the interest felt by steady
patrons of the game in the players
They are making a joke of the
pitchers by taking them out of the
game because a couple of hits are
made in succession or removing a
pitcher who is doing well to permit
some bench warmer to go to bat and
strike out or fly out for him." said
Mr.. Johnson. What methods can be
adopted to curb the habit, 1 don't
know, but it seems some rational way
could be found that would benefit
everybody without in the least handi-
