About a year ago une of my neighliors entertained a baker guest f rom whom she, gathered numerous valuable hints. One day lie offered te bake a cake for lier. She very readiiy consented and collected thie ingredients upon the kit- Chen table, placinýg a. cup beside, tlem for measuring. T'he baker smiled and said: "I shýah not need that if Mr.- M. wili allow me, the use of bis scales." Ac- cordingly, the, ingredients were carrîed into thae adjoining store, and each weiglied in turn. My neighbor lauglied and said: "Well, if that iset the, 'man' of it. Ho, steais Our tracle and tlien pretends te improve upon it, taiking twiL-oe the time and trolible that we« do." "I underistand ail thýat," replied the baker goed naturedly; "but you must admit that v.e are always sure of the re- suit, whie the resuit of your method e an only lie deterniined when it is eaten. 1 By wei'ghlng the component parts of a Icake there can ble no variation in the product f-riox un tiume to anothor, pro- Ividinig of course, the flour is of good Squahity.
