BREAD WITHOUT CRUST. THE housew ife
who would bake her bread or biscuit
without a dry, hard crust, can do SO
very readily. Just before placing the
bread in the oven, she has only 70 rub

will close the pores, prevent the escape
Of the gas which is produced by the
yeast, and the escape Of the steam which
ia produced by the moisture Of the beat
ed loaf Bread thus baked will Be alnest

WILLING TO PAY DAMAGES. "A good
story is told of railroad accident on the
New London railroad, which had rather
a ludicrous ending. A half intoxicated
lrishman was sitting on the rail when the
engine from the train to Norwich struck
him under the lunches and tossed him
down an embankmcnt. The train was
stopped and turned back to pick up the
dead body. Paddy was found alive, how
ever, only somewhat bruised, and taken
to Norwich. Here the conductor kindly
offered to send the man to his home, a
few miles away, in hack, but Paddy
refused to be sent home in kcrridge.'
The conductor pressed the matter, when
the Melesian, who had stood the battling
of the COW catcher so we'll, bristed up
with: go away with yer kerridge, III
60 home meeself-an' If I've done any
damage to your oud inginc, bedad III

Bishop and Clergy of Alabama have been

We say livable, because there are % ma.

They are 30 dismal. The rooms ere low,
dark and small, and an atmosphere Of

The dull style Of furnishing, like eYery
other form Of dullness, is very common.
The prevailing tints are drab, oak, and .
dingy red. There is much neatness about

CooSlNG PorAToEs. s.-We have seen
boiled potatoes from an untaught cook
coming on the table like Jumps of yellow
wax,-the same article, the day after, un-
der the directions of skillful mistress,
appearing in snowy balls Of powdery
lightneSs. In the one case they were
thrown in their skins into water, and suf-
fered to soak or boil, as the case may be,
at leisure, and after they were boiled tc
stand in the water till she was ready to
peel them. In the other case, the pota-
toes being first peeled, were boiled as
quickly as possible in salted water, which,
the moment they were done, was drained
off, and they are gentlcly shaken for
minute or two over the fire, to dry them
still more thoroughly. We have never
yet seen the potato so depraved and given
over to evil, that could not be reclaimed
by this mode of treatment. AS to fried
potatoes, who that remembers the crisp,
golden slices of the French restaurant,
thin as waters and as light as snow fakes,
does not speak respectfully Of them p

THE NUMBER THREE.-When the world
was created We find land, water and sky;
SUI, moon andstars. Noah had but three
sons Jonah was three days in the whales
belly {; our Saviour passed three days in
the tomb. Peter denied his Saviour thrice.
There was three patriarchs-Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. Abraham entertained
three angels. Samuel was called three
times. "Simon, lowest thou me :" was
repeated three times. Daniel was thrown
into the den with three lions, for pray
ing three times day. Shadrach, Meshach
and Abednego were rescued from the
flames of the furnace. The ten command
ments were delivered on the third day.
Job had three friends. St. Paul speaks OF
faith, hope and charity these three
Those famous dreams of the Baker and
Butler were to come to pass in three days;
and Elijah prostrated himself three times

deceived Deliah three times before she

AN INFALLIBLE RECIPE BY WHICH TO
TURN A CONFEDERATE INTO LOYAL"
CITIZEN. This war has drought out"
many things. 1t has given ideas on in
ternational law that we have never heard
before. 1t has vastly enlarged our con-
ception of what the Union was, is and
ought to De. Among other things it has
given the following recipe for making a
truly "loyaT citizens out o! "rebel," p"
which we find in the Metropolitan Rec.
ord:
II he has property worth over TWEEN
ty thousand dollars, conhscate it.
If he has property worth less than
twenty thousand dollars, confiscate it.
If his wife has any jewelry, turn it over
to the wife of loyal naA.
II he has piano, let it make music
and harmony in some other household.
If after burning the house over the
head Of the family is not enough, try the
virtues Of cell in some one Of the many
Bastiles that are still to be found in the
Land of the Free and Home of the Brave"
If the Confederate should happen to be
the President Of Southern College there
is another way Of reaching and rousing
into activity his latent loyalty away
his library, transport it to New England
and sell it to some Of the institutions oi
learning with which the Land Of Pump
kin Pies, steady habits and wooden nut
megs abounds.
Make over The disloyal churches to the
loyal sects of the North, and let them be
run" by the righteous"
And finally to take away political righ is
from the white man of the South whose
fathers fought for self government and in
dependence, and confer them exclusively
upon the negroes"

IT was announced by one of the sAvans
at the late meeting of the British Assoeia-

theory and eight mines were indicated
