Cake 200 Years Old.

Two hundred years ago they used
to make in England what was known
as. "Wood-Street" cake, which must
have been extremely rich and tooth
some. judging by the ingredients. It
is described in Towards Cookery, pub
lished in London in 1888 and present
ed recently to the State College of
Washington library. In those DAYS
evidently they did not have the con-
venient cake mixers now known to
housewives, as the recipe indicates
that it be beat well with your hand
Also Volsted makes the glass of
sack" required an impossibility with
in the law. Here is the description:
Take quarter of peck of fine
flour, dry it in the oven, pour into it
some cloves, mace, nutmeg, and salt;
wet 1t with a pound of good butter. a
pint of cream, melt it together and
beat 1t we'll with your hand with a
pint of good yeast, and nine eggs,
leaving out half the whites; put in a
blass of sack, and some rose-water:
mix 1t up soft and lay it by the fire
to rise; then work in four pounds of
two ounces of orange and
citron candied, and three pounds of |
sugar; bake it in a hoop, ice it over
with the whites of three eggs, and
roth it with a whisk.
In noting the large quantities called
or in these old-time recipes, one
hould remember that it was common

children in family, and candy was
lot so common as now, so the sweet
Doth propensities had to be met by
axes and "conserves."

Human Mind Is Peculiar
Thinq;; Takes Queer Turns

An interesting sidelight on tina
shocking New Jersey crime was thu
craze for souvenirs evinced by NOR
bid public. A veritable plague O
curiosity-seekers haunted the scene
for weeks and weeks. They cut down
the tree beneath which the bodies
we're found and chopped its branches
up for souvenirs. Not satisfied, they
raided the houses of the principals in
the case. The home of the murdered
woman was stripped Of its pictures,
bric-a-brac and small objects Only
the heavy furniture was left-and that
because it could not be carried away
readily This peculiar trait of the
public mind forms significant study.
A noted psychologist, one who declines
publicity by refusing to have his name
mentioned, explains that after all
crimes the morbid-curious are drawn |
to the scene by vicarious enjoyment
both of the crime and what led to it.
"Unconsciously the visitor to such
a place puts himself in the place of
the victims or the avengers, or in the
place of BOTH" he says. This is sci
entific fact Horror is the lure, but
the horror is largely made up of envy
envy in most cases, but
envy just the same The visitor is
quick to condemn the victim, or the
slayers, or both. Why? Because the
victims or the slayers dared to do
the visitor might like to

If a murder serves to keep the thing
fresh in the visitors mind 1t is a
search for thrills, but a search def [
litely inspired by morbid envy" ,
In this connection it is interesting to {
tote that crimes which receive undue $
publicity invariably attract "confes- '
lions" by innocent persons. In a single s
Instance several hundred men and a
women confessed to a crime they had f
lot committed. They were either so s

, started to give lurid account of this
New Jersey murder scandal. That was
the item that was uppermost in her
mind; she had not herself read the
papers but she had overheard her par
ents and others gloating over all the
disgusting details. She had absorbed
that nasty, wicked piece of news"
! in preference to everything else go
ing on in the world, and the morbid
memory of it will be with her in her
conscious or unconscious mind till her
last breath. Wounds thus made ara
never healed
IL is too bad that parents will de-
llberately take into their homes ma
pers that are filed full of such poison
me worst OF it is that this poison Is
nxed up in most attractive form: II

nut 1t doesn't; the criminals who make
the yellow Journals are adopts at that
work; they seize on every sensation
and magnify it to the limit. No won
der the little girl was more interested
in this revolving crime than in the le-
gitimate and wholesome news of the
day.
The psychology of the public mind
shows that it is no different today
than it was hundreds of years ago
when executions were public functions
and were regarded as social diver
sions. In those days such an affair
was made the occasion for box parties
such as are now witnessed at theaters
and to the public at large it was a
form of entertainment. 1t is safe to
say that if a public execution were ad-
vertised to take place on a public
square in any American community
,oday it would attract just as large a
as any similar affair would
nave done back in the dark ages. Our
morbid curiosity remains unchanged
throughout the ages.

Here are few ways to combat this

will boil them enough; then put in
