Bread or Stuff?-Which:

The chief staple of this country is to
be wheat. Our position will soon be
as predominant in the wheat markets
OF the world as our Southern States
have long been in the cotton markets
Wheat Is the queen of the cereals as
corn is king, aud there is IL correspond
ing contrast between the delicacy and
robustiousness of the two cereals; anu
this in the whole course of the career
of each, from the springing blade to
the steaming platter. That must be IA
vile cook, indeed, who can extinguish
the sturdy sweetness and richness of
the roasting. ear, the hot co-n.cake or
the corn-porridge. But the material
of this golden cataract which is SPRING
ing in increasing volume from the
great West and Northwest, and filling
all the channels of trade, Is of more
def and delicate workmanship. The
queen of the cereals, like her prototype
who ought to be queen OF the home, is
too often abominably misused. and +,
like her, represseI, degraded and
soured. But both have their full re
venges in the natural procession of
events whatever satisfaction there
may be in that. It is the exception
when one gets piece of wheaton bread
tit to eat. Break loaf of it open, and
as a rule instead of the fragrance of the
harvest field you will get the odors Of
concealed distillery or brewery. Eat
it, and your stomach becomes hot bed
for the propagation of yeast.spores, and
caldron in which acids. nameless
and caustic, surge and boil. The evil
influence starts with the man. He
makes either q drudge or doll of the
woman-either way nobody. She
transfers, actively or passively, the evil
spirit to the baking. The man eats the
bread and it makes him twice as vicious
as he was before, which may be saying
a great deal. Thus it appears that the
treatment of the queen of the cereals
becomes great moral question, and
the correction of the abuses of this
good gift of God, one of the important
moral reforms. The wife is the bread
giver. What shall she bring in her
dainty hand, the pure comminuted
blessing of the Lord, fresh as the new
sheaf, or the same contaminated and in
decay9 As wheat becomes more and
more the staff of life, there is more re.
sponsibility in regard to the use which
we make OF this rich gift of Provi-
dence. - Interior
