The Stan Of Lie.

A writer in Nailrre discusses the COM
parative nutritive qualities of white
bread, brown bread and whole meal
bread. he says; We shall find it i'm
possible to make by means of leaYen or
yeast, q light; spOngy loaf from whole
wheat finely ground the so-ealled
cerealnl of the bran inducing chemical
changes which result in q moist. elammY,

merely crushed into meal, and not
ground, partakes of the same defect.
Fine -four, on the other hand, Yields a
bread which is light enough before mas
tication, but which, when masticated,
possesses q marked tendency to become
contracted into dense Jumps which may
never be penetrated by the gastric and
Intestinal Juice, and which are frequent
cause Of constipation Whole meal
bread cannot be charged with the defect;
indeed it acts incidentally as a laxative,
and by reason Of its mechanical texture
is hurried rather too quickly along the
digestive track, so that the full virtue of
such Of its nutrients as are really soluble
becomes in part lost, Yet there is,I,o
doubt that for many persons, especially
those who have passed into middle age
and are engaged in sedentary occupa-
tions, whole wheaton meal in the form
of bread, biscuits, scones, etc, forms an
invaluable diet. If We could reckon all

NATURES REMEDY.-People who, with
out knowing that they were applying
natures remedy, have drawn in their
breath hard when they had cut a finger
or baTked shin on a coal scuttle, viii
be pleased to learn that they have en-
ployed respiratory analgesia in its simp-
lest form. If any man viii draw breath
deeply and quickly for the space Of three
minutes or less, he will thereby lose
acute sensibility to pain, so that he can
endure minor surgical operation with
out inconvenience. Eminent surgeons
have found the process of great advant-
age when used alone, not only, but
when anasthetics also were employed,
in which latter case the quantity Of the
drug to be used is greatly diminished.

The Leaders or the National Liberal
Party I'm Commandments Com
ing Meeting OF the Peace Con-
gress--Ome Predictions
or the Result OF it's
Deliberations.

BERLIN, June 1.-The leaders of the ma
tional liberal party a:e here for consultation
and TO determine on a course OF action. They
believe that Prince Bismarck had determined
upon a dissolution before NoUhng's attempt
to kill the emperor, or that he would have, at
least, reconvened the reicnstag and ascer-
tanned the disposition Of that body. Their
war cry will be ike that of the French re
publicaus in the contest with the De Broglie
ministcy-.he return Of the present liberal
members.
The congress will be opened by Prince Bis
marck, as president, by submitting his mem
oraudum of point, or resume OF subjects TO
be treated directly by the ipotentiaries
The business of the first sitting will be con-
fined 10 the settlement OF the question,
whether or not the congress shall invite
Greece to participate in it's transactions. A
state banqnet at the castle will be given b
the plenlpOtenharies an their suites on
Thursday or Friday evening. Il is highly
improbable that R)umania or Servia
will be accorded direct access TO congress,
either with full or consultative powers The
|original anticipation t0dt congress would COM
plete its labor Ia 4 iori night Is thought likely
to be realized. The commissioners will then
be sent 70 Turkey 10 settle the details Of the
result Ot the congress. IL IA anticipated here
that " will not be VI favorable - Russia; she
will probably get a portion OF BrsSarahia and
Armenia, the latter including Kars and Ar
dahan certainly, and perhaps Batoum, but
not Bayazid. There Is "A report current that
Bonaparte, Orleans and Bourbon interests are
. to be privately advocated during congress by
gent emen deputed for the occasion, the hope
being entertained 10y the monarcLical parties
In France that a conservative reaction will
shortly set In at Berlin, and that monarchy
will have another chance ut Paris.

BRITISH WHEAT.
Present Prospects Not Favorable. but
Better Weather May Make Inn
provement-POlitica! Move
ments No Longer Affect
Prices.

LONDON, June 1.-THE Mark Lane Err
press says, speaking generally, that the ap
pearance of all cereals is bulky, but the tend
ency of so much moisture has been to devel-
op the plant at the expense of the grain pro-
ducing power, and, however favorable the
weather may be during the next two weeks.
appearances do not favor the presumption of
more than a bare average yield at any rate
as regards wheat and barley. The supplies of
English wheat have been moderate, both In the
country markets and Mark Lane. Sales were
only practicable at decline Of from one
to two shillings per quarter, with manifest
reluctance. Foreign wheat has been coming
to hand freely, trade having been very dull.
Most Of this wheat has gone into
store, and a material increase in stocks
will probably be apparent at the end of the
month. America, Russia and Germany have
been the chief sources of supply, and from
the two countries first named we shall receive
heavy imports for some time. India may
also resume her prominent place In the list
of grain supplying countries. As regards
trade there is very little change, but there
has been rather stronger feeling as regards
foreign wheat at the reduced prices of last
Monday, which are two shlllings per quarter
lower on the week. Inquiry is chiefly from
country millers. Sales have been to great
extent in a retail way. Values have declined
for all varieties of cereals and produce, now
that the congress is definitely settled upon,
and in the opinion of the corn trade the in
fiuence of politics has ceased as Il factor In
the course Of prices.
