antne % restrictions at various Southern cities
and towns has been followed by a considera-
BILE increase Of trade in several dcpartlu ents,
but the consequences have not been as large
as some merchants anticipated. The reason
for this is the fact that the ma jority Of those
nOjnts which erected barriers between them
selves and Louisville opposed no restrictions
to the trade of other cities in this latitude, and
have thus been kept in supplies by our COM
mercial rivals. Consequently the trade thus
far has been less to make up arrearages than to
meet current requirements. Another class Of
towns and cities will soon be in unrestricted
communication with the world and from these,
nerhaDs. greater trade results may probably
he realized These are the points which have
been kept in quarantine BY. other cities in
fhis latitude, and whose trade in the mean
while has been prostrated by internal Gala
mites.
AS we intimate above an important acccs-
sion of trade has already come forward from
points in Alabama and Mississippi, and in
some lines business has been active and salts
factory. but it is needless to blind ones self
to the fact that the Southern epidemic mas
definitely curtailed for us the seasons trade {;

Three Jolly Husbands.

Three jolly fellows, out in the cOun-
try, by the names Of Tim Watson. Joe
Brown and Bill Walker, sat late one
evening. drinking at a village tavern
until, being pretty well cOrned, they
made an agreement that each one on
returning home should do the first
thing his wife told him to do, in de
fault of which he should the next
morning pay the bill. They then Sepa-
rated, agreeing to meet again the next
morning. and give Il true account of
their wives orders and whether they
carried them out or not.
The next morning Walker and
Brown were early at their posts, but il
was sometime before Watson made his
appearance. Walker began first:
"YOu see, when entered my house

and without the least hesitation | put

Next Brown told his story:

ing it against the chimney jam, broke
it in 4 hundred pieces. After this eX-

1t was now WatSOn'S turn to give
an account of himself, which he did,
with long face, as follows:

command in the world; for l was

Water for Children.

Ii IS particularly with those who
have been accustomed to water drink
ing that ii will show its good effects in
after life. During the first nine months
the infant is 10 be nOurished by its
mothers milk. which serves As food
and drink; il Is gradually accustomed
TO other sustenance during the period
of weaving. After this X accomplished
however, the infant should have fresh
water as we'll as milk.
BY water drinking in childhood and
youth, the foundation of a durable
stomach is laid and thus healthy body
through life. The nervous and blood
I systems are Over-eXcited by spices
beer, wine, chocolate. coffee. etc, and
thus a constant artificial state of few
ct is maintained. and the process Is 50
much accelerated by ii, that children
[ fed in this manner do not attain per

i Besides this. experience has taught

and willful, having neither the vii
nor the power to make themselves O
others happy.

How to Make Yeast Bread.

see a request in the Journal for 4
recipe for making good yeast bread.
But, allow me TO say, it is useless to
try to make good bread unless YOU
have good yeaSt-and / will tell you
one mode of making yeast cakes: At
night peel your potatoes for breakfast
| Gust as all good hOuSekeepers dO.) then
boil rather softer than usual, no mat
ter if they begin to come in pieces !;
have pint of hops ready; skim out
the potatoes except two or three; put
your hops in the kettle. boil half an
hour. When ready TO turn of, YOU
want a pint of the liquor. Strain when
boiling hot on cOrn-meal enough to
make stiff batter; have half a tea
cup of good yeast mot sour prepared
before hand, and as soon as the batter
is cool stir in the yeast. Let it stand
until light, then mould in all the meal
possible. roll, out thin; nut. it where
the cakes Will dry, turning them over
once a day. Care must he taken not
| to overhead the cakes, or to keep them
so far from the fire as to have them
sour before drying. When made of
the meal, they more readily soak soft
when wanted for use. To make the
Yeast, take two or three of the cakes,
add a cup of warm water, flour enough
to make a rather stiff batter, which
should be light in an hour or two at
most.
We will now give 4 very good rule
for making yeast bread:
If warm weather the sponge is to
stand in 4 cool place. At night, take
half the quantity of wetting, which
should be butter-milk, set it over the
fire, stir freely, bringing it to a boiling
heat; while scalding hot, pour it on
enough flour to make an ordinary
sponge. Let it stand until cool; add a
pint of Yeast, stirring it in briskly. In
the morning it will be fOaming, pro-
Yided your yeast was good. Then take
the other half of your wetting which
should be cold, new sweet milk. Stir
in flour to form a stiff batter. Set
away until very light, that is, Just as
much so as possible; then dissolve as
much soda as is required for the but
ter-milk, say, tea-SpOOnful to two tea
cups of bUtter-milk (Which is a good
rule when mixing biscuit), also add a
little salt, stirring thoroughly until
convinced that the soda and salt are
well mixed through the sponge. Now
mould in flour until it is hard: set il
away again in your pan; let it stand
very light, then mould into lOayes
about the size of a bakers pound loaf,
and when again light, put in hot
oven and bake until loose from the
tins.
Now, in making bread, as with every
other business, one has to Use a little
reason or discretion for herself; vet if
