Good Bread.

In lecture OH the Philosophy of the
Oven" Prof E \. Horsiord thus describ-
The method of making good bread:
Select good, plump, fully ripened, hard
grained wheat. Have il freshly ground,
and not too finely bolted. Prepare the
Yeast as follows. Boil thoroughly with
the skins on i'll one quart oI water enoug Ii
potatoes to make quart OF mashed po-
tatoes. Peal the boiled potatoes and
mash them to fineness; mix Intimately
with them one pint of flour, and stir the
whole to an emulsion with the water In
which the potatoes were boiled. Cool
the product to about 50 degrees luke
warmness, and add half Il pint o. the
best fresh bakers yeast, and II table
spoonful OF brown sugar. Set aside the
mixture AZ an even temperature OF about
50 degrees, till il works We'll, or Is III
active fermentation. Ofthis yeast take
half pint to a gallon, "a lbs OF flour,
mixed with three pints of water, or two
of WAGER and one of milk, all at the tenn
perature of about 80 degrees, and little
salt, knead thoroughly and set aside to
rise at the temperature mentioned
When il has risen 10 nearly the full vol
ume for the dough, divide ii into loaves,
set it aside at the temperature already
named till il attains the full size OF the
loaf, and place i'll an oven heated 10 not
less than 40 degrees. Let the loaves OF
dough be smaller than the tins. Keep
them covered with flat tin plates or stiff
paper till the dough is fully raised and
the heat carried up to and sometimes
maintained throughout the loaf at 2l2
degrees, to convert all the starch to the
mucillainous or emulsion form and de-
stroy the fermeut. Then remove the
cover and permit the browning to take
place. Ifthe ioaves are large higher

Work and Wages.

The venerable proverb, 1.-The laborer
is worthy of his hire" does not seem to
be regarded as anything more than the
oretically true. Mechanics, for instance,
are among the. most dilligent of laborers,
but they render more important and
valuable services to society for less pc
cuniary return than any other class OF
men. The great mass of these intelli-
gent and faithful laborers scarcely earn
more than a scanty living. From some
interesting statistics lately published
regarding the condition of the working
classes of the United States, we learn
that the average life of our mechanics is
estimated at lorty-siX and half Years,
and the average number OF days work
performed in this climate is $50 days in
year. Here is exhibited degree of
attention to business, not equaled by
any other class. Out of 3l3 working
days in year, only siXty-three are not
devoted to the mechanics trade. These
sixty-three days are all that are required
toutside of Sunday for recreation, sick
ness, pleasure, sport and private bus
mess.
The average annual expense of a me-
chanic in our cities, incluuing board and
clothing, is about $500 Estimating the
average compensation of such laborer
at three dollars per day, he would earn
in the 80 days $3.50. From this deduct
his board and clothing, $500, and he has
left but $3.50 for keeping his family, for
amusements, for books. for educational
purposes and contingencies. The average
working years of a mechanic are esti-
mated at twenty, which would make
