Value of Sea Water.

In a paper presented by Nj. Mols-
on at the French Academy of Sci.
ence, some interesting information
is given concerning the use of sea
water in bread making, in France
and Spain, from which it appears
that, along the entire coast Of the
Channel, sweet water is used for the
leaven only, and pure salt water
for the dough, the bread thus made
having just the necessary degree of
salinity. When, however, sea wa
ter is used for other culinary pur-
poses, the result is a disagreeable
failure, the advantage in the case
of the bread bong, apparently, that
it undergoes a peculiar change eau
sed by certain of the salts dissolved
in sea water, which change wonId
not, for chemical reasons, be likely
to take place in any dissimilar adj
mixture.
1t is suggested that probably the
chloride of magnesium, which i'm
parts to the sea water its acid taste
is decomposed at the high tempera-
ture to which the bread is exposed
in the oven; in such case, magnesia
is produced, tho effect of this being
to destroy acridity.
In tho discussion CT this subject,
M. Boussingault remarked that DUR
ing panification glucose is formed,
which is also capable of diminish
ing the acridi.y; end he stated that,
during his travels in America, he
had noticed that many Indigenous
substances were dished up with sea
water and little cane juice, the lat
ter neutralizing the effect of the for
mer. 1t is we'll known, too, that NJ.
Eaumeno some time ago combined
sugar and salt together in such q
manner that the two ingredients
neutralized each other, the mixture
presenting a substance not unlike in
taete to combination of wheat and
sea water; these and other expert.

adequate admixture of sugar might

ment by moderate energy-is inJu-
rious. Few suffer from over-work
in the aggregate it is too much
work In too little time that causes
the break down in nineteen cases
out of twenty when collapse occurs.
Most sufferers bging the evil on
themselves, by driving off the day s
work until the space allotted for
its performance is past or much re-
duced. uethod in work is the great
need Of the day. II some portion of
each division of time was devoted
TO the apportioning of hours Jand
energy, there would be less confu-
sion, far Iess "hurry" and the need
of working TT high pressure would
be greatly reduced, if not wholly
obviated.
A great deal has been written aad
said of late to exec ding little prac-
tical purpose, on tho subject of over
work. We doubt whether what is
included under this description
might not generally be more appro.
priately defined as work done in a
hurry; because the tine legitimately
appropriated to it's accomplishment
has been wasted or misapplied.
Hurry to catch q train generally
implies starting too late. "High
pressure is," says the Lancet, "either
the consequence of like error at
the outset of task, or the penalty
of attempting to compensate by in
tense effort for inadequate opportu-
nifty" If brain is battered for bust
ness in this fashion, the gf ose is
killed for the sake of the golden
eggs, and greed works its own dis
comiiture-Littell's Liuing Age.

FoN DU Lao has been having a lit

legal squabble between two of the
Catholic clergymen of that city.
The exact details do not appear in
the Fon du Lac papers, but enough
does appear to indicate that Father
Dael attached the personal effects of
Father Zsra-Regis for some reason
or other and had the latter arrested.

Father cara Regis came out victori-

New Scientific Theories.

Professor Mallett, one of the most
eminent scientific authorities in
Europe, has recently undertaken to
show that, contrary to the usually
received opinion, the fact of volca-
noes throwing out liquid rock may
not be inconsistent with the view
that the earth as whole is solid.
The Investigations made by him in
this direction go to prove, be asserts,
that this liquofaction OF the rocks
thus observed may be produced at
no very great depth from the earth's
surface by the shifting and rubbing
together of the rocks, owing to
cracking due to the alteration of the

GIRLS AMONG THE RosEs.-A dis

that if there is any one thing moro
beautiful than all other beautiful
things put together, that thing is q
beautiful young lady with sun-bon

ious that you have to get right
square before her and pretty near
her TO see tho glowing cheeks that

A CORRESPONDENT writes from Con.
stantinople: "The Minister of Po-
lice has issued notice ordering the
faithful of both sexes to attend the
mosques with greater regularity,
and threatening those who habitual-
ly stay away from the mosque with
punishment. He has also epioined
the women to give up the fashionable
feredjees (manties), which do not
sufficiently conceal the figure, and
the fashionable yashmaks which do
not al all conceal the face, and the
higa-heeled French boots, which
have so largely taken the place OF
yellow slippers"

Goethe said that the thought of
endless life was sometimes oppres-
sive to him, because there must be q
period when further progress was
impossible. But he was treasured
when he looked up at the stars. The
poet felt that in revealing such
depths of space to him they limited
at intellectual distances which no
soul could out travel I'm the same
spirit Kant said: Two things fill
me with perpetual awe-the moral
law and the starry heavens

Ohio Greenbackers.

The Green hackers of Ohio held u
State Convention at the capital yes
terday. Ohly thirty delegates were
present. A full ticket was put in
the field. The platform. besides
holding the Government responsible
for the hard times, demands the re-
peal of the specie Resumption act.
1t then proceeds to lay down posi-
tive policy, as follows:
First, it is the preogrative of the Federal
Government only to supply currency, and all
moneys whether paper or metal should be
issued by and bear the stamp of the Governs
mcnt second, paper money issued by the Gov
eminent, made receivable fer all its dues, and
a legal tender in the payment Of all debts,
and convertible into bonds bearing au equa-
BILE rate of interest, will afford the best crcu-
lating medium ever discovered: third abol-
ishng banks ofissue; fourth, remonetize the
silver dollar, and make it legal tender
for the payment of all coin bonds, but issue
no bonds for the purchase of silver bullion
for coinage; fifth, tax United States bonds;
sixth, re-enact the law taxing incomes, and
seventh, it is the duty OF the Government to
foster and encourage the development of the
resources of the country, that labor may be
fully and proftably employed, and the gener-
al welfare established and secured.
The last proposition is truth in
itself, but interpreted in the light of
the usual nonsense of the greencack
orators and publicists, it is arrant
heresy. 1t is not tho business Of
Government to regulate industrial
matters aud supply the idle with
work. Nothing of that kind comes
within the just scope of legislation,
national or State. Taken as whole,
the resolu tions are tissue of Soph-
istries a consolidation of political
charlatauism, which can command
the respect of no man of fair intelli-
