Our Ministers tA England.

Gen. Schenck, the American Minister,
roundly abused, of course, like all posi-
tive men, wins his way by the double
forces OF courage and intellect. I lately
spent an evening at his home. and met
his bright and intelligent daughters. It
was so much like home. the welcome
was 80 sincere, the conversation was so
pleasant, that almost felt as if was
visiting one of my friends at Washing
ton. How curious to look back upon
the line of American Ministers since the
reign of George ILL.,, sixteen years be-
fore the revolution What catalogue
of curious and different characters.
There were Thomas Pinckney, of South
Carolina; John Jay, of New York,
grandfather of the present American
Minister at Vienna; James Monroe, of
Virginia Every few know that he was
here Minister Plenipotentiary from 1903
to 1900; the Swiss, Albhert Gallatin,
associated with Richard Rush, in 1878;
young John Quincy Adams and young
Henry Clay from 1914 to 1878; Wash
ington Irving, Lewis McLane, Secre-
tary OF Legation in 1929, and acting
Charge dAfG&res in 1881. Then we
had Martin Van Buren, in 1882; but,
having been rejected by the Senate, he
had to return home then Andrew Stev-
enson, father of the present Senator
from Kentucky, from 1886 to 1871; Ed
ward Everett from 1841 to 1845 Geo.
Bancroft in 1849, with J. G. Bancroft
Davis, the present American Minister at
Berlin, as his Secretary of Legation
Abbott Lawrence, of Massachusetts,
and James r. Ingersoll, of Pennsyl-
vania, from 1852 to 1858; James
Buchanan, from the same State, with
Daniel E. Sickles and John Appleton
as his Secretaries of Legation then
George NJ. Dallas, of Pennsylvania,
from 1860 1861, with theson of Philip
Ell. Dallas, as his Secretary of Legation ;
then G. r. Adams, of Massachusetts,
from 1861 to 1868, with the kind-heart
ed Charles L. Wilson, of Illinois, as
Secretary of Legation then Reverdy
johnson, from May 1868 to May 1869,
year which he filed with Inequalities,
speeches, and visits, everywhere kindly
greeted and everywhere still remem-
bered then John Lathrop Motley, from
1869 to 1870, also of the best memories
America ever left at the British capital.

Nutritious Bread.

The -four passing through the finest
silk cloth is the much admired 'tpastry
whites, but it must be remarked, OBJ
serves the SANITARY Record, that only
certain kinds of wheat yield this to per-
lection J. pastry -four, moreover, is so
excessively starchy as to make but in
ferior bread by the English process, a
defect the French and German bakers
overcome In their "white bread by a
totally different method, known In
Vienna as "0ufrischera." A less snow
white -four passing through slightly
coarser silk, is the material for what
the baker sells as "best bread" and
the darker and rather speckled -four
from which this is bolted constitutes
the "seconds +" of which this "house-
hold bread" is baked. The finer and
whittier the bread, the more starchy and
less fesh-formingit must be, and in even
larger proportion the deficiency of the
phosphate and other salts is inevita-
BILE. It is true that many persons pre-
fer the delicate-looking and mild-fa-
vored white bread, and it would be folly
to declare that the majority of the bet
ter classes perform bodily labor or take
SO much exercise as to require more
nourishment than white bread affords
but the very fact that so many physi-
clans have of late noticed in their writ
ings-namely, the much longer period
required for the digestion of fine bread
lis a distinct and important objection
to it's use among the inactive and
sedentary.

THE KINGS PICTURE.


There is in every human being, however lgno-
Die, some hint of perfection; some one Place
where las we NAV fancy) the veil is unln WHICH
hides the divinity behind it.-COnf ciG'1 Ct1SSscSl
The King from the council ohamDer
Came weary and sore OF heart
He called for Hiff, the painter,
And spake to him apart:
90 / am sick of faces 1gnoble,
Hvnocrites towards and knaves
7 shall shrink to their shrnnken measure,
Chief slave in a realm OF slaves
I" Paint me true mans picture,
Gracious and wise and good;
lowered with the strength of heroes,
And the beauty of womanhood.
1t shall hang in my inmost chamber,
That thither when retire,
1t may fill my soul with its grandeur,
And warm it with sacred fire."
Sothe artist painted the picture,
And it hung in the palace hall;
Never thing so goodly rr
Had garnished the stately wall.
The King, with head uncovered,
Gazed on it with rapt delight, f.t
Till it suddenly wore strange meaning,
And ba ed his questioning sight.
For the form was his SIMPLEST courtier's,
Perfect in every limb; 8B8aa
But the bearing was that of the henchman
Who filed the flagons for him
The brow was priests who pondered x.
His parohments early and late;
The eye was wandering minstrel's
Who sang at the palace gate. t.9
The lips, half sad and half mirthful,
With fitting tremulous grace, -
We're the very lips of woman
He had kissed in the market-place;
But the smile which her curves TRANSPORTED
As rose with simmer of dew,
Was the smile of the wife who loved him,
Queen Ethelyn, good and true.
Then, "Learn, o King" said the artist,
''This truth that the picture tells
How, in every form of the human,
Some hint of the Highest dweus;
How scanning each living temple
For the place where the veil is thin,
We may gather, by beautiful glimpses,
The form of the God Within"

CAGE-BIRDs. 1t is estimated that the
canary-bird population of the United
States amounts to 100000. It's num-
bers are increased only through impor-
tation, as the loss by death and other
causes about balances the gain by
breeding. Three hundred thousand
canaries were imported last year. Other
age-birds in the United State are reck-
oned at 100000. To feed these little
feathered pets, IT'S, 900 bushels of seed
are required each year. Two thirds of
this amount is canary-seed, the remain
der consisting of hemp-seed, rape-seed,
millet, cracked wheat, ETC., etc. The
cost of the whole is more than$ 900, 900.

fully and fully directed, registered and
posted by the Count himself.
In the ordinary course of events, an
answer was due in four or five days at
the farthest; but a fortnight passed
without any, and at length he received
the following, dated from Rome
"S1R: I beg to acknowledge the
honor which you have done me by ad-
dressing letter to me at my house in
Florence; and must apologize for my
inability to understand it. Your name
is strange to me; was never in the
place from which you write; | have
| not been in Florence for several months !:
and I must conclude there is some mis-
take. It is possible that my name has
been assumed by rascally valet who
robbed me last year Of several private
papers and considerable sum of
money, but whom [ could not con-
veniently prosecute.

instead of being delivered to the false
one at the address given him at Flor
| ence.
The Princess was, no doubt, over
whelmed with shame at finding that
she had been encouraging valet in
stead of his master for she at once adj
mitted the Count to the privilege of
paying her more attentions than ever. I
think, too, she really liked him. Any
how, he had proved himself substan-
TALLY able to protect her; and the scuffle
with his rival had in no degree lessened
him in her esteem.
Of course, we were not behind the
scenes and could only judge of the
probable course of events by such little
evidences as chance might throw in our
way but it was rumored that the mar
riage was to take place from our hotel
