HEAT IN THE OVEN. nun the laker* llfHriiiiiif It by tb» Mere Tourh of Ihe llnnil. 'T.akors have a curious way of tell ing just vhat the temperature of the oven is." said a baker who has been in the business for more than a quarter of a century, "and they can tell, too, with almost marvelous accuracy. You take a man who is an expert In the business, and he can tell what the tem perature of the oven is by simply touching the handle of the oven door. In nine cases out of ten he will not miss it to the fraction of a degree. Bakers have other ways, of course, of testing the heat of the oven. For in- when baking bread they some times throw a piece of white paper In to the oven, acd if it turns brown the oven is at the proper temperature, or. when baking other things, they will throw a little eornmeal Hour into the oven in order to test the heat. But the baker's fingers are the best gauge, and when you come to think of the dif ferent temperatures required in bak ing different things it is no small achievement to even approximate the heat of the oven by touching the han dle of the oven door. "Bakers figure that during the rising time of a loaf of bread, after it has been placed in the oven, it ought to be in a temperature of 75 degrees I-". Dur ing the baking process, in order to cook the starch, expand the carbonic acid gas, air and steam and drive off the al cohol, the Inside of the loaf must reg ister at least 220 degrees. In baking rolls, buns, scones, tea biscuits, drop cakes, fancy cakes, New York cakes, muffins, puff cakes and tilings of that sort the oven must show a heat of 450 degrees or higher. When the oven is at 400 degrees, it is fit for cream puffs, sugar cakes, queen cakes, rock cakes, Jumbles, lady fingers, rough and ready and jolly rolls. At 350 degrees wine cakes, cup cakes, ginger nuts and snaps, pies, gingerbread, spice cakes, such as raisin, currant, citron, pound, bride and so on, may be baked. It requires a still lower temperature to bake wedding cakes, kisses, anise drops and things in this class. But, what ever temperature the old baker wants, he can tell when he has it by simply touching the handle of the oven door." —New Orleans Times-Democrat. THE COOKBOOK. To boil cream the day before en hances the richness of the coffee into which it is poured. The remnant of stewed or preserved fruit left from tea will improve a tap ioca pudding the next day. To cook carrots quickly add a small piece of soda to the water in which they are boiled. This will improve the flavor of the vegetable. To prevent gravies from becoming lumpy remove the pan from the fire while the thickening is beiug stirred in, after which set the pan back on the fire and cook thoroughly. \ Several green coffee beans left to soak in the unbeaten white of an egg will color cake icing a delicate green. The beans should be removed and the egg whipped and used for the icing. If bread has been baked too brown os. if the crust has been blackened in an oven made too hot, do not attempt to cut off the black with a knife. As soon as the loaves are cold go over them with a coarse grater. NATiONS AND LAUGHS. The Varlens Wny» Different Peopled Have of Showing Mirth. All the world laughs, though the na tions have different ways of showing mirth. The Chinese laugh is not as hearty or as expressive as the Euro pean or American. It is oftener a tit ter than a genuine burst of merriment. There is little character or force in it. As for the Ai'ablan laugh, we hear little of its hilarious ring through the ages of mirth in the old world. The Arab is generally a stolid fellow, who must see good reason for a laugh or be surprised into it. In Persia a man who laughs is considered effeminate, but free license is given to female merri ment. One reads of the "grave Turk" and the "sober Egyptian," but it is not re corded that they have never moments of mirth, when the fez bobs or the veil shakes under the pressure of some par ticularly "good thing." In Mohammed himself Christian writers have noticed cordiality and Jocoseness, and they say there is a good ringing laugh in the prophet, with all his seriousness. An American traveler in Europe re maiks the Italian mirth as languid, but musical, the German as deliberate, the French as spasmodic and uncerain, the upper class English as guarded and not always genuine, the lower class Eng lish as explosive, the Scotch of all classes as hearty and the Irish as rol licking. The Pcnarlouß Cftrlyle. It is no drawback for a Christmas gift to be useful as well as ornamental, but there is pathos in Carlyle'a presen tation of a washing table to his wife at Christmas, 1850. At that time he had long escaped poverty, but could conceive no more pleasing gift than this most utilitarian article which he promised In a note which the curious may still read at his house in Cheyne row: The Prophecy of a Washstand to the neatest of all \Vomen» Blessings on her bonny face and be It ever blithets me. as It Is dear blithe or not. T. CARLYLE. Dec. 23, 1850. This message appears to have been written in a hurry, as if Carlyle, hear ing the clocks strike mldnigllt, exclaim ed: "God bless illy soul.' It's Christ mas day. Jeannie should have a pres ent. She spoke of a washstand the other (lay. She shall have it." And he forthwith penned the promise there of. Anyway, he gave a live pound note, and Mrs. Carlyle bought a marble and mahogany washstand. Loudon Chronicle. ChrlstmuM Declared IHCKUI. Although it may seem incredible, it is a fact that not so many years ago Christmas was considered a supersti tious festival and was stopped being held by the strong hand of the law. Holly and mistletoe were destroyed and were called "the plants of the evil one." Cakes and wines were consid ered impious by the superstitious. When Oliver Cromwell was protect or, ho ordered all the most important towns in England not to observe Christmas, as he considered it to be a hurtful custom. Yet a stricter law he commanded to be kept so that people might forget Christmas. That was that all the mar kets were to be held on Dec. 2"«. Naturally this created a great stir among the couutry folk, and they de termined thenceforth to refuse to obey his strict and extraordinary law, which he tried to enforce, but all to no pur pose. How n IlafTnlo ft HUM. The world has read the exaggerated description of a buffalo stampede, but I don't believe anybody has ever done justice to the wonderful speed of a buf falo when lost from the herd and try ing to catch up, says a man of experi ence. It is a deceptive gait. The man who never saw it before would swear that he could outrun the animal bare footed. But the fastest horse ridden by cowboys couldn't catch a buffalo when running alone. Its marvelous lope, steady and endur ing, carries it over the prairie at a speed that would make a race horse lie down and cry at the end of the first mile. But the buffalo keeps this gait up all day, and at night his great flanks show no signs of fatigue. AM M AV. r '—** | BATTLES WITH SNOW i HARD FIGHTING FOR RAILROAD MEN i IN THE ROCKIES. Itulnrr SnovriilolT* ami the Wen Who It 111> Tlicm—Uuckins Tlironuh tb.- Mounter Drift- That Pack the ; i Mountain Pas»e». ' Every western rai Iroad is equipped with a largo force of snow fighters. Rotary suowplows aiul 111011 who know how to run them can cut their way through drifts that in the early days of western railroading would hare resulted in complete blockades. The rotary snowplow is one of the mar vels of the railroad of today, and it is a liberal ed teat ion in the art of snow Cglitiuj; to see one of'them eating its way through a white drift that threat ens to cut off commnnication between the east and the west, l'here are sev eral passes in the lio.'ky mountains which for six months in the year or more form a constant menace to train crews. These passes are situated at the top of the Groat Divide, where the elements liave full sway. Boreas pass, in Colorado, is a fair example. The snow begins falling at Koreas late in August or early in September, and it docs not cease until well into May and sometimes June. 1 l ore will be inter mittent snowstorms in the mid uninier months, but tho-o are trilling affairs and are not to i -■ mentioned in the same breath with the tremendous snowfalls of January and I-ebruary. l-'ew men make tl:e;r homes at Koreas. It is nothing for tliem to uot up in the morning and Um! themselves complete ly buried in snow. The one store is usually at the end of a tunnel cut through an immense snowdrift. The population of Koreas during these snowy months consists, for the most part, of the railroad men who are* en gaged in the strenuous work of fight ing constantly changing drifts. Snow at Koreas does not fall; it rages. It is blown about in swirls and eddies and is forever forming new drifts as treach erously as a river that is constantly shifting the sand banks of its mouth. These drifts are not little affairs that will barely cover a "stake and rider" fence. They are piled ten, twenty and thirty feet high, and they spring up in a night. To the "tenderfoot" it would seem Impossible to plow a way through these drifts at Boreas, but when a huge ro tary snowplow comes whirling up the track with three or four engines push ing vigorously behind it the "tender foot" reserves his decision. lie i 3 still inclined to favor tile snowdrift, but he prefers to await developments before committing himself. W itli a rush and a plunge the big rotary is hurled into the white mass of snow. Black smoke pours from the engines, and the huge blades of the snowptow eat relentlessly into the drift. The snow shoots out of the orifice at the side of the plow, forming a huge, white semicircle constantly moving forward. One can keep track of the progress of the plow by following the advance ment of this rainbow of snow. Foot by foot the rotary eats its way forward, and finally it and the engines are buried in a huge trench of white. Only the stacks of the engines can t>e soon, belching their Blackness on the virgin garb about them. But the great white semicircle never fails to go forward until finally the "tenderfoot" knows that the drift is being conquered. When the regular overland limited comes along a few hours later, the pas sengers do not know of the battle that has just been fought. They travel through a canyon of snow as they pass Boreas, but they have no idea of the tremendous force required to cut this white path over the ridge of the con tinent; so they go on, all unconscious in their Pullmans, while the railroad men at the next siding ahead oil the rotary and gird up their loins for the next battle, which they know Boreas will be prepared to give tliem In a few hours. The experiences at Boreas pass dur ing a hard winter are duplicated at many other railroad passes in the Bocky mountains, to say nothing of great stretches at lower altitudes which have always been the favored haunts of snowdrifts and which have always given railroad men great trouble. It is the unexpected element at these points that brings a serious aspect to the situation. At the passes over the Great Divide railroad men are prepared for trouble, and consequently serious blockades are few, but when word comes that a train lias failed to fight its way through the drifts 100 or per haps 200 miles from the nearest avail able rotary plow there is consterna tion. To get a rotary plow to the blockaded train takes time, and in the meantime the drifts are accumulating on the unused road, and each hour brings new menaces to railroad men jnd passengers alike. J Sometimes even the rotary plow has s been known to be caught in a snow blockade. One instance occurred in Wyoming. An engineer who hail a ro tary plow on ahead and who was mak ing good progress during a fierce snow storm was compelled to run back a few miles for water. Instead of taking the Potary with him he uncoupled and ran his engine hack, and in the meantime the snow gathered so fast over the tracks that lie wis unable to fight his way back to the plow. Such instances are rare, however, and are only owing to the oversight of some trainman, for a rotary snowplow with sufficient pow er behind it can eat its way through almost anything in the shape of drifts. —New York Tribune. • flow Sl»«?
