New and Stale Bread.

The nature Of the difference be-
tween new and stale bread is far
from being known. 1t is only lately
that the celebrated French chemist,
Boussingault, instituted an inquiry
into it, from which it results that
stale bread is not the consequence of
dessicati6n, but solely Of the cooling
of the bread. If we'take fresh bread
into the cellar or into any place
where it cannot dry the inner part
of the loaf, it is true, it is found to
be GRUMPY, but the crust has become
soft and no longer brittle. If stale
bread is taken back into the oven
again it assumes all the qualities of
fresh baked bread, although in the
hot oven it must undoubtedly have
lost part of its moisture. NJ Bous-
singault has made fresh loaf the
subject of minute investigation, and
the results are anything but unin-
teresting. New bread, in its small
est parts, is so soft, clammy, flexible
and gfutinous Gin consequence of the
starch during the process of forment-
ing and baking being changed into
mucilaginous dextrine), that by mas
tication it is with greater difficulty
separated and reduced to smallpieccs,
and in its smallest parts is less under
the influence of the saliva and diges-
tive juices. 1t consequently forms
itself into hard balls by careless and
hasty mastication and deglutition,
becomes coated with saliva and slime,
and in this state enters the stomach.
The gastric juice being unable to
penetrate such hard masses, and be-
ing scarcely able even to act upon
the surface of them, they frequently
remain in the stomach unchanged,
and, like foreign bodies, irritate and
incommodc it, inducing every spe.
cies of suhoring-oppression of the
stomach, pain in the chest, disturb
ing circulation of the blood, conges-
tons and pains in the head, irrita-
tor of the brain and inflammation,
apoplectic attacks, cramp and deliri-

The Price or success.


It is no longer possible to know
everything. A universal scholar
will be no more seen among men.
The ngeef human knowledge has
increased so vastly, has swept out
and away 50 far and SO fast, that no
brain, be its quantity or its quality
what it may, can, in the years COM
monty given 10 man, even survey
Abe field. "A man. therefore, must
make up his mind, if he proposes to
learn anything, to be content. with
profound ignorance Of a great many
other things. 1t is a bitter thing,
perhaps, but itis!a fact, that Il man
who would know anything in this
century must.purchase his iknowl-
edge with voluntary and chosen ig-
norance.of a :hundred other things.
One must choose his specially, and
devotion and diligence in that, is the
price he pays for success. It's with

ing. All about him is undone york
clamoring for hands. There are two
courses before one.
To undertake everything, to fret
and grieve because one finds this and
that undone, and to make spasmodic
efforts to do it-this is the way of
failure. Rosolutoly to make up ones
mind 20 let, as far as he is concern
led, the most that should be done
stay undonc still, TO steel ones heart
against demands and necessities, to
resist all inducements to put forth a
single effort, to close ones eyes to it
all, and to stick heart, hand, life and
love to the thing man undertakes
and calls his own-that is the way
Of success. Life is very short, and
the single brain and hand, at best,
very weak, and there are thousands
of things to know and to do. One
must choose and be content with his
choice. And so it comes to pass that
now, at last, the measure Of u mans
learning will be the amount of his
voluntary Ignorance, the measure of
his practical effectiveness theamount

When a Woman win She will.

The Rome IN. W Sentinel has a
curious story about married couple
in Springfield. 1t says: "When a
Massachusetts woman forms n habit
it is all waste of time for her hus-
band to try to break her of it. Well
knowing his wife's disposition to
make him a present at the anniver-
sary of his birthday, citizen of the
Bay State, who likewise forcibly re-
allied the fact that economy was an
absolute necessity in his houshold,
said to his wife: This year you must
not undertake to make me present,
! insist. 1t would be absurd at this
time, when we need everything we
can rake and scrape. give you fair
notice that if you do carry out your
former custom this year, l will burn
up the present as surely as you make
it, So the wife bethought herself
She could not bear the idea of being
deprived of her annual pleasure
Therefore she gathered together her
dimes and bought for her dearly be-
loved husband, as a birthday present,

Vegetables shonld be Cooked In
Salt Water.

" a
It's ellknown that afterpotatoes
are boiled and the. water poured
from them, If they are well shaken
up, with the addition Of a little salt,
their favor is much improved. A
German chemist, speaking in refer.
ence to boiling vegetables in water
TO which a littlesalt has been added,
Says: "lf one portion Of vegetables
be.boiled in pure water, and another
inwater to which a. little salt has
been added, a decided difference is
perceptible in the taste and odoS
and especially in. the Tenderness
of the two portions. Vegetables
boiled in pure water are vastly in
ferior in flavor: This inferiority
may go so far in onions; that they
ire almost entirely destitute of odor
ortaste, though when cookediin salt
water, they possess, in addition to
the pleasant salt taste, q peculiar
sweetness and strong aroma. They
also contain moresoluble matter than
Wheel cookcdin pure watcfs ss:aEef
Which contains 1-420th of its weight
=
Uncommon salt, is far bettcrfor cook
ing vegetables that pure water, be-
cause the salt binders the solution
evaporation of the soluble and fla.
yoring principles of the vegetables.
This explains the advantage of the
general use of salt in cooking, and
the impossibility of correcting, by
any subsequent additions of salt, the
want of flavor in vegetables that
have been boiled in it."
