BROKEN BREAD.

An old housekeeper says; If you
keep hired girl, or have any one but
yourself about the kitchen, you are pret-
ty sure to have more or less of the above.
There are aeveral methods of disposing
oft to advantage besides making "bread
pudding" which has a bad name with
many people. Firstly, break it up and
dry in the oven, then pack away in a
bag or box, and when the bread crumbs
are wanted for any purpose, roll it on the
bread-board; this is much more easily
done than grating from the loaf, as it is
very crisp. Sometimes let the bread
brown in the oven and pour sCalded milk
over it. You will be surprised to find
how we'll "toast and milk" is relished
by the young folks, and many elders too,
with "palate undepraved by culinary
art" For cakes, soak cup or two of the
crumbs over night, add eggs, salt, a very
little -four, and they are nice, baked on
the griddle.
A stale loaf sliced, steamed few min
utes, then buttered while hot, relishes
much better than dry. We have dubbed
it steamed toast" Also you may fresh
en- loaf that is dry by steaming it twen-
ty minutes or so; if it gets rather too
moist on the outside, put it in the oven

JERSEY JUSTICE-A FATHER AND
TWO SONS, NOTED EMBEZZLERS,
SENTENCED.

The Courthouse in Trenton, New Jer-
sey, was densely crowded on Wednesday
last. Hundreds of the depositors of the
broken State Savings Bank were present,
and all were loud in their denunciations
of Jacob r. Freese and his sons, who
were to be sentenced for embezzling the
funds and conspiracy to defraud the
bank. Freese and his sons entered the
court room few minutes before 10
o'clock, looking pale and worried. Con-
trary to all expectations their counsel
urged nothing in their behalf. Colonel
Freese occupied a chair within the bar
until Chief Justice Beasley ordered him
to stand up. The Chief Justice then pro-
nounced sentence, saying:
"Tbe Court regret to say that in your
case they can fnd not a single circum.
stance of mitigation, You were in a po.
sition of trust, and you betrayed that
trust. To you was confded the money
of poor people, their savings from their
hard toll, and you appropriated it to
your own use. 1t was theft from poor
people, and not an ordinary theft. You
violated the law, and did it as the court is
satisfied, by deceitful contrivances and
plans deeply laid. After committing
this crime you aggravated it, in moral
point of view, by causing the impression
that it was not you, but your own chill
dren, who were the guilty ones. In this
you offended common deCency and COM
mon honesty. The court wishes you to
understand that it believes this pretense
to be all false. You are the man that
took the money--every cent of it-by
Wretched contrivances to cheat poor peo-
Pile. Your case has no feature of mitiga-
ton, and the court has nothing to do but
to pronounce sentence, which is that for
embezzling the funds as an officer of the
bank you be confined at hard labor in the
State Prison for three years, and for con.
spiraCy to defraud, to imprisonment for
two years, the second term to commence
at the expiration of the first, making five
years in ALL"
Harry G. Freese and Luie X. Freese
were called next. The Chief Justice
said that they had heard what had been
said to their father, the court regretting
to say it in their presence. They had
been simply the tools of their father, who
had brought them up from earliest life,
led them astray, and brought them to
this state of degradation. They had done
we'll not to turn against their father, as
he had done to them, and the sentence
was that they be imprisoned in the Coun-
ty Jail for six months each.
Walter f. Bartlett, Trenton's default.
ing Tax Receiver, was sentenced to two
years at hard labor in the State Prison.

MIND rs. MEMORY.

In common school education there is

The power of memory is excessively
stimulated; the power of thought is ne

learner often in language which is to the
young mind unintelligible iargoD. But
no effective means is taken to teach how
the results are reached, or to make the
little student really understand the Ian
guage which is employed.
There is not much need of new books
Just now. But what is wanted is the at
tempting of fewer branches acknowledge
at once, and the giving of more oral in
struction aud explanation by the teach
ers. Many things which we painfully
drill into the minds of the students
would be better taught, because sufi-

deceived husband begged her to go with

wife and mother whose distant girlhood
had supplied the heroine of romance
as dramatic as ever found exposition in

when she was the only unmarried
daughter of an old and wealthy family
of the town in whose cemetery her body
now rests, she came to New York in the
bloom and vivacity of a youth just con-
scious of its own power to visit the
friendly household of one of our first
