Next the stiffening mass Is put through
rollers, which mash it into glutinOus
pulp. and mix regularly through the whole
bulk Of all the remaining particles Of skin
or bran. The dough-f0r such it now is
is then put into a trough, favored with
salt which has been dissolved in water, and
given an opportunity to absorb more water
il necessary, and then thoroughly kneaded
by hand. Nothing, now, is needed but to
treat it just as flour dough is treated, and,
when sufficiently light, hand it over to the
oven. 1t is claimed that by this process
the eater secures the entire nutriment of
the wheat, and that it produces One-third
more bread than under the present system.
1t is probable that the bread thus made
will lack that whiteness which is so much
sought after by modest housewives, but
then the result will be most nutritious.
Owing, however, to the time consumed in
preparing the grain for the oven, it is not
likely that this new process will for some
time to come supcrsede the old-tashioned
method of setting sponge over night for
the next days baking.-HearM and Home.

The Elephant as a Walker.

WE have found two curious points over

him apparently unfeasible. The elastic,

of passing over difficult ground are often

animals power Of ascending steep and
rugged ground was far greater than had

Making Bread without Flour.

boiling it into flour. The making of bread

with water, and stirred until the lighter
grains and extraneous particles are either
dissolved or left floating on the surface.
The mass is then freed from the water, and
put into cylinder, like nutmeg. crater,
whose revolutions remove the outer skin
of the grain. This is all that is really nee.
essary to remove. Next, the wheat thus
cleansed Is immersed in twice its own
weight Of water, heated to seventy.five de.

half dry yeast, and five or six ounces of
glucose to two hundred parts Of water. 4

Gambling.

"GIvE me a cent and you can pitch one
of these rings, and if it catches over nail
I'll give you six cents"
That seemed fair enough, so the boy
handed. him cent and took a ring He
stepped back to a stake, tossed his ring
and it caught one of the nails.
"Will you take six rings to pitch again
or six cents?"
"Six CENTS" was the answer, and two
three cent pieces were put into his hand
lie stepped off, well satisfied with what he
had done, and probably not having an idea
that he was doing wrong. A gentleman
standing near had watched him, and now,
before he had time to look about and re.
join his companions, laid his hand on his
shoulder.

you staked your penny and won six,
did you not?"
"Yes, did"
"YOu did not earn them, and they were
not given you; you have won them just as
gamblers win money. You have taken
the first step in the path; that man Aas
gone through it, and you can see the end.
Now, I advise you to go and give him the
six cents back and ask him for your penny,
and then stand square with the world, an
honest boy again"
he had hung his head down, but raised; it
quickly, and his bright, open look, as he
said, "Ill dot" will not soon be forgotten
He ran back, and soon emerged from the
ring, looking happier than ever. He
touched his cap and bowed pleasantly as
he ran away to join his comrades. That
was an honest boy.

Keeping to One Thing.

We earnestly entreat every young man
after he has chosen his vocation, to stick
to it. Don't leave it because hard blows
are to be struck, or disagreeable work per.
formed. Those who have worked their
way up to wealth and usefulness, do not
belong to the shiftless and unstable class,
but may be reckoned among such as took
off their coats, rolled up their sleeves, con.
quered their prejudices against labor, and
manfully bore the heat and burden of the
day. Whether upon the old farm, where
our fathers toiled diligently, striving to
bring the soil to productivencss; in the
machine shop or factory, or the thousand
other business places that invite honest
toll and skill, let the motto ever be: Perse
verance and industry. Stick to one thing,
boys, and YOU will have success.

TIE WORSHIP or DARKNESS.

The Grand Jury of Epson County, in Geor-
gia is composed of bats. 1t hates the light
worse than any other plague of nature. 1t
finds the bill for the promotion of education
in that State such dazzling nuisance that it
has presented it to the Circuit Court as an
evil seriously demanding the attention OF the
Legislature. 1t considers any measure provld-
ing for the general instruction of the children
of the State the fruit of "wld speculative
"theory ill-adapted to their present situation"
and regards the project as hurtiul and un-
timely, until the people can get out OF debt.
The Circuit Judge, who seems to have more
enlightened view of the necessities OF his coun-
try, made short reply to the Jury, assuring
them that the State "wOuld not go back upon
cher record in this school business" This curt
and sensible answer gave great Ofiense to the
advocates of ignorance, and the Editor OF The
Atlanta Sun protests against it in an article
which shows but too plainly the need OF the
schOomaster in Georgia.

of them to explain.
