Home o. Bread.

A correspondent gives q practical hint
on the subject of bread'making, which
may be acceptable to some''of our home
baking readers. It is well known that
dough, when well kneaded and of firm
eonsistence, give 9 whittier and lighter
bread than under opposite conditions
But the most important point of ell to be
astended to in bread.making, or in any
other kind of bakery, is the previous
sitting of thessAour through a sieve, so
that every particle oft may be brought
into contact with the oxygen of the air.
A dough made of sifted meal mixes bet
ter, with both water and yeast, rises bet~
ter and requires far less kneading than
when the -four has mot been sifted, and
the bread obtained from it is lighter and
In every respect OF superior quality;
The longer -four may have lain aside
before bsing used, the mor necessary is
it to anbject it to the operation. Many
q disappointment and many q fit of
temper will be spared If the house
wife will only sift the -four thoroughly
before preparing the batter for the
b2ke-oven.

A Locomotive in a Quicksand.

The Leavenworth [Kan.) Times says:
Mention was made in the Times during
the summer of a singular accident which
occurred on the Kansas Pacific road at
the bridge crossing Kiowa creek, thirty
two miles east of Denver, in which an
engine attached to a freight train went
through the bridge into the bed Of the
creek, instantly disappearing in the
auckland and battling all attempts to
recover it. For the past six months the
search for the missing locomotive has
been kept up, resulting IN success two or
three days ago, when it was found
buried forty feet deep in the %quicksand.
The sand has been removed for a great
number of yards around the scene OF the
disappearance of the engine, a hydraulic
ram being used, the locomotive being
found at last after a search of six months.
The instance is one of the most remark
able or record.

WHEN THE TIDE GOES OUT.

Full white moon upon a waste OF ocean,
High full tide upon the sandy shore;
In the fishers cot, without q motion,
Waiteth he that shall never sail more
Waiteth he, and one sad comrade, signing,
Speaking lowly, says. without a doubt
He will rest soon some One calls the dying
When the tide goes out"
Some One calls the tide, when In Its flowing
II hath touched the limits Of Its bound ;
Some great Voice; aud all the billows, knowing
What omnipotence is In that sound,
Hasten back to ocean, none delaying
For mans profit, pleasuring or doubt
Backward to their source, not one wave straying
And the tide is out.
Some One calls the soul DER LIES dark ocean,
When it's tide breaks high upon the land,
And it listens with such glad emotion
As The " called " alone can understaRd-
Listens, hastens to its source Of being.
Leaves the sands OF Time without a doubt,
While we sadly wait, as yet but seeing
That the tide LIS out.

Changes in the Moon.
Proctor in Belgravia.

Evidence of change may be discovered
which can be explained. The moon is
exposed to the action of heat other than
that which pervaded her own frame at
the time of her first formation. The
sums heat is poured upon the moon dur.
ing the long lunar day OF more than a
fortnight, while during the long lunar
nights @ cold prevails which must far ex-
coed that of our bitterest arctic winters.
We know from the heat measurement
made by the present Lord Rose, that
any part OF the moon at lunar midday
Ia fully 500 degrees Fahrenheit hotter
than the same Fart two weeks later at
Tuner midnight. The alternate expan-
sions and c~ontractions resulting from
these changes of temperature cannot
but make changes, however slowly, in
the contour ofthe moons surface. Prot
Newcomb, indeed, considers that all such
changes must long since have been COM
pleted But I cannot see how they can
be completed 90 long as the moons sur
face Is uneven, and at present there are
regions where that surface is altogeth
rugged. Mighty peaks and walls whic
exist must one day be thrown down, q
unstable is their form; deep ravines can
be seen that must one day be the scene
of tremendous land slips, 50 steep and
precipitous are their sides. Changes
such as these may still occur on 90 vast
O scale that telescopes may hope from
time to time to recognize them. But
changes such as these are not volcanic;
they attest no lunar vitality. They are
a~ntecedently 70 probable, indeed, while
volcanic changes are ~antecedently 80
unlikely, that when any change is clearly
recognised i'm the moons surface, moth
ing but the most convincing evidence
could be accepted a. demonstrating that
the change was of volcanic origin and
not due to the continued expansion and
contraction of the lunar crust.

arena the very day that Cesar started out
to invade sBritain. Empires and nations
have arisen, fallen, and gone on, of history
since the first circus gave its first eXhlbl-
ton. And yet the circus is as full of vital
ity to-day as it was when Paul preached at
Athens. So much for circuscs in general.
