ALBERT Rhodes in the Galaxy for NoNI
Bread is the foundation OF human
nomishmcnt, and any attempt at i'm
proycment should begin there. Hun
drcds of years ago the importance OF
this was seen in France, and Il society OF
physicians was organized under the aus
piccs of the government, ito improve
the art of making bread, at first more
especially for the patients in the hos
pitfalls, and afterwards for the people ut
large as u matter Of public hygiene.
Their labors were attended with go"
results, and from that time down to the
present the knowledge became general
and the nation has uuintcrrupt-
cdly eaten good bread. Vienna
bakers also furnish an excellent
bread. What is sold in New
York as French bread in most OF the
American hotels and restaurants is not
much better than the American bakers
hre,Ol and hear 10 semblance to tImch
bread, az made IN France, in taste tex
ture, or nutrilive qualities. Through
the inferiority of the bread made here
it isuot Us much eaten as it would be il
bottermode. It's, when property pre-
pared superior TO any Of the other veg
etabIc products in nutritiyc qualities
andou it probably depends more than
on any other oliment the mental auo
physical health OF our people.

1t appears from compilation recently
made by an Edinburgh journal that one-sev.
enth of the land in the United King dom, ex-
Guiding that contained in the metropolis, is
held by five hundred and fitty-four peers and
the aggregate of the land so possessed is one
twelfth OF that in the kingdom. One peer
has estates in each of the great divisions of
England, ireland and Scotland, and more
than one-fourth have estates in two of the
three divisions. Nearly all those peers in
cluded in the five hundred and fifty-four
upwards of 81, 100000.
The Paris exhibition may not be held
fter all. Paris tradesmen are by no means
as anxious as they might be to have it take
place, for the reason that'those not already
well established and advertised, would have
to do the latter at great cost. One well
known firm on the Rue de la Paix, considers
that they lost $4,000 francs at the exhibition
in 1867. They sent several valuable and
beautiful specimens Of their work, which,
not being sold, had afterward to be remade,
andthe expense consequent thereon involved
the above loss.
The dispatches indicate that Russia is
herself not unaware that a slight movement
on her part will make work for the vast
armies of Europe. This great northern pow

for years preparing for the speedy transpor-

There are lines completed.to the extent OF
fifteen hundred miles. She can put at once

Testing the Sense of Touch.
Berpstein's Flve senses OF Man.

Bernsteln's rive henscs OF Man.
For this experiment two persons are
required, one of whom tests the sense OF
! touch of the other. For this purpose a
pair of compasses is taken, whose points,
somewhat blunted, are placed at GER
tain distance from each other on part
of the skin of the other person. The lat
ter must then say, with closed eyes,
whether he feels the contact of two sep
arate points, or whether both seem to be
merged into one. The result of this ex-
pertinent upon the less sensitive parts of
the skin is very surprising. If the points
are placed ON the forearm in the direction
of its length at the distance of LIS inch
the sensation is a double one, but so soon
as the distance is reduced to I.18 inch
the contact is felt as a single point, and
the person experimental on feels consid-
cradle surprised on opening hiseyes when
he sees that two points have been
touched instead of one. The tip of the
tongue is found to be the most sensitive,
the two points being extinguished when
only .0394 of an inch apart. Ifthe points
of the compass be placed on the cheek
near the ear, so that both can be clearly
distinguished, and then brought slowly
over the skin to the lips, a sensation is
as JnOuRu IDe pOluJS were |
being separated from each other. The !
skin of the back has the dullest sense of
touch, since when the points are at a
distance of 2.36 they are still perceived |
as single touch. 1t is quite astonish-
ing how greatly The distance between the
two points must be increased on the back |
before we are clearly conscious of a |
double impression. Weber explains |
these facts by assuming that the termi-
nal limits of a nerve fibre are much |
smaller than sensory circles, so that the
latter always contain great number of
isolated nerve fbres. If two terminal
limits are excited, and if certain num-
ber of isolated fibres unexcited lie be-
tween them, the impression is only a 1
single one. A curions illusion OF touch
is seen when the first and second fingers
and pea is picked up between them in
this unnatural poison. The impression
IS particularly strong that the hand

Only sixty miles from the city of New

The Centennial Award a Humbug.
New York sun.

When the centennial exhibition started
we heard great deal about the patent
American system of awards for excellence
to be adopted at Philadelphia. This
system was the product of the inventive
brains of the officers of the centennial
commission, headed by director general
Goshorn, assisted by that eminent statls-
tician, Gen. F. A. Walker.
This system has now been tried, with
results not altogether satisfactory to the
exhibitors or the public-indced with
results absolutely disgraceful. The
chief popularity Of the system is that the
awards are not made by the judges ap-
pointed to examine and discriminate be-
tween the articles exhibited, but by a
few of the officers of the commission
themselves. Another popularity is that
there is no grading in the awards, no first
or second prizes, no honorable mention,
no different sorts of medals; but all are
on par. The consequence has been
that the judges, seeing there was no use
in doing it, have exercised little nice
discrimination. They had no encourage
ment to weigh carefully and accurately
the comparative merits of the different
exhibits. Therefore the awards were

Fall Fashions In Paris.

SoNy ~" AAOpPSA'
What are the fall fashions to be is
one of the interesting questions Of the
hour. Very unbecOmiHg to stout people
is the natural response to begin with.
What with princesse dresses, laced up
the back, and with the darts in front
prolonged the full length of the skirt for
home wear and pOlonaises for the street,
and tied-back skirts and next-tono pet
ticoats at all times, it will take flesh and
blood Venus to look well in such a very
close fitting attire: There will be 4 GER
tain variety in out-of-dOOr wraps, long
loose sacks, and short half-itting ones
being shown as well as the Omnipresent
polonaise. AS for colors, the reign OF
red has set in decidedly, and we are even
menaced with red ball dresses. This is
the natural reaction from the dull olives
and duskv browns and sickly blues and
pinks that we have worn 30 long. AS to
bonnets, a lively friend of mine has
the prevailing style the Sairey
Camp, and certainly it recalls the head
gear of the remarkable female. A
pointed Tyrolean crown, with broad
brim fattened down at the sides and left
to stick up in front, which front is filed in
with bright-hued flowers or with full
ruchings of tulle-such is the bonnet of
the period. Toques, or turhan bats of
feathers, will be much worn, especially
by young girls. The feathers most in
vogue are cocks feathers, lophophore and
peacock plumage. Scarf draperies will
be extensively adopted for trimming
house dresses in fact, they form the
only silk or stuff trimming that can be
used on the pOred princesse style. The
rich deep cherry color most beauteous TO
behold. Wreaths and trailing garlands
of red flowers will be much worn on
white ball-dresses. The favorite flowers
are still the dropping, fringe-like styles,
such as honeysuckle or fuchias.

Indian Sweating Treatment.
Letter to Detroit Free Press.


While coming down the Rosebud,
through the deserted Sioux villages.
noticed the remains of great many
sweat or medicine tepees, or lodges,
which shows that the Sioux must have
had great many wounded in the Rose
bud and Little Horn battles. Their
treatment for sickness or wounds con-
sists almost entirely in the sweating
process, very much like our modern
Turkish baths. The sweating treatment
is performed by placing the patient-no
matter what the disease may be-under
a small wickerwork frame, covered al
most air-tight with skins. Hot stones
taken from fire near at hand are then
passed in TO the patient, ,iwho places them
in a small hole in the ground in the
centre of the sweat-house, or tepee. A
pail of water is then passed in and poured
on the almost red hot stones. From
this an almost suffocating hot steam
arises, which soon produces a proiuse
perspiration. The patient is then taken
out and plunged in the cold running
stream near at hand, or in winter rolled
in snow bank, the patient all the time
being in a nude condition. This treat
ment is, of course, as a rule fatal in
smallpox or tevers. 1t may be termed
heroic.
