"A method OF making bread from whole wheat,
without previously grinding 1t into Hour, has been
devised by Frcnchman named Sezllle. the
grain Is first soaked in water for hall an hoGr;
then pat foto s revolving cylinder with a rousa
inside surface, and shaken up, so as'to remove
the coarser part OF the skin; and then soaked
twenty or twenty-four hours more in water OF the
temperature Of IS degrees Fahrenheit, with which
a little yeast and glucose has been mingled. BY
thessmeaus the gsan acquires a spasty ssaoughy
consaiencesand cam be mixed upoy machinery
and made into bread In the usual way. The In
yention is an important one, bosh from Its saving
the expe-se orlghndlng, and from the greater
economy OF Keeping and transporting the whole
grain instead OF hour.

the wooden cross ties now In use. Tie WOODEN
ties, 1t Is stated, cost about 70 cents each, and
must be replaced every three or four years, while
the iron tie, costing S. when protected from cor
rosion by coating Of coal tar, will never wear

the method OF affixing tie rail-. A half chair Is
cast on the tie, and the other half, composed Of
wrought iron is held in place by's wrought iron
key. kThs rafresssapon rubber cushion four
inchssthick and FIVE inches tnsleugts, which y

cushions will keep the ends Of the rails from
being bea,en,down, and will, by preventing con-
cussion, save the rolling stock and allow the
trains to glide smoothly and rapidly along the
track.
The first publication OF Gortschakotrs de.
mands provoked indignant growls from the Brl
tlsh lion, speaking through the press, and the
Times unhesitatingy declared that England
would never consent to an a6rogation OF the
treaty of Paris II says: 1--WE were sureties,
not principals, in the transaction, and If Turkey
insists upon holding the Emperor bound to OBJ
serve the s;ipulations TO which he agreed, we
shall not be able to forget our own obligations as
parties to the settlement" The Standard deemed
the note an insult to England, and declared that
the Russian Government had not given the Brl.
tish nation the chance of yielding with any show
OF hcnor The Pail Mall Gazette boldly asserted
that "the retraction Of the Russian circular
should be demanded under penalty OF Immediate
war" and any neglect or refusal should be ground
for instant hostilitics. It assumed On under
standing between Russia and russia, and declar-
ed that Prussia might do inestimaole service to
Russia by merely prolongng the negotiations, un
til the capture OF Paris should leave her army
free for active operations Then England and Tur-
key, with perhaps little help from Italy, would
have to make head against tie two greatest mill
tary powers In the world. -
That ioldtime lottery. known as the New York
Tsntine Fund, is about to close up, and the large
property to bedivided among the surviving mem
bers, whose number has now been reduced to
seven. The history OF this association begins
eighty years back, when two hundred and three
subscribers contributed $500 each to common
fund for investment, each member nominating
some child on whose life he bet retaining an in
terest only as long as the nominee survived,
with the agreement that, when the number was
reduced to seven, the entire property and its
accumulations were TO be divided among the sur
viyors The Old Tontlne CoIeehouss, famous
inthe annals or New York, was erected out OF
this fund; but four years ago this was taken
down and much more valuable building put up
inits place. Atths commencement OF the current
year, ten shareholders, or their nominees, re.

Paxton Rogers died in the spring, reducing the
number to eight, aud causing much speculation
as,to the next The elimination took place in
the death Of John P. DeWint, at Fishkil, which
caves the property Of several hundred thousand
dollars to be at length divided The interest in
this occurrence is somewhat lessened by the fact
that the shares have been mostly bought up and |
are now in only two or three hands.
"A Berlin correspondent OF the Chicago Trt-
bune writes: at Is amusing to get among a |
squad OF soldiers, as one sometimes 1nds them In |
the hospitals, and hear the difference and often
confusion In their language. Many cannot un-
derstand each other at oil especially Of those
living in widey-scparated rural districts. The
people Of the ietles and the educated classes
sneak THE same language everywhere, yet even,
among these a;Muntch soldier uses words that
Berlinge never heard. The Hamburgers are &C.
