GRAHAM BREAD.-I have tried a great
many ways of making Graham bread,
but I like this better than any other, for
it can always be depended upon: Set
sponge as for wheat bread; in the morn
ing take one pint of sponge, one-half
pint of warm water, one-half teacup of
molasses, one teaspoonful of soda, stir
thoroughly, and add enough Graham
-four to make a thick batter, as thick as
can be stirred with a spoon, let it rise;
after beating down, put in a three-pint
basin, and when risen enough, bake
two hours. When the crust begins to
brown, put a baking tin over it; this
keeps the crust soft.

A New LIGLT.-To obtain q light in
SANITY, without the use of matches or
the danger of setting things on fire, take
an oblong vial of the whitest and clear
est glass; put into it piece of phos-
phorus about the size of a pea, upon
which pour some olive oil, heated to the
boiling point, filling the vial about one
third full. aud then seal it Theoretically.
To use it, remove the cork and allow
the air to enter the vial, and recork it.
The whole empty space in the bottle
will her become luminous, and the
light obtained will be equal to that of a
lamp. As soon as the light grows
weak, its power can be increased by
opening the vial and allowing a fresh
supply of air 10 enter. In cold weather
it is sometimes necessaryto heat the vial
between the hands to increase the fold
ity of the oil. Thus prepared, the vial
may be used for six months. This con-
t;ivance is now used by the watchmen
of Paris in all magazines where explo-
sive or infammable materials are stored.

ing: A man leaves Cincinnati at - NJ.
to-day and travels westward directly
under the sun, at the rate of little more
than one thousand miles per hour.
To-day is Friday-he knows that, and
when he gets to St. Louis it is IL M.
Friday; at San Francisco he is told the
same thing, and at Japan, too, proba-
bly,: When he gets 70 Cincinnati he is
told 1t is Saturday noon-12 n. Now,
sirs, b question is, where will he
meet the first man who will saw it ia Sat-
urday? He must have met him before
he got to Cincinnati, because when it
