5. Good yeast. This is made from new
hops. Stale hops will not, with GER
tsinty, make lively yeast.
6. Thorough kneading. After it has
had enough, knead it while longer.
7. Do not let the dough rai-e too
much. Nine out of every ten bread
makers in this country let their bread
raise" until its sweetness has been de-
stroyed
s. The oven can be too hot as we'll as
too cool. The "happy medium must
be determined upon and selected.
There are three binds of bread, viz.
Sweet bread, bread and sour bread
Some housewives make sour bread, a
great many make bread, but few make
sweet bread. Sweetness in bread is
positive quality that not many bread
makers have yet discovered.
HOUSEKEEPING -" Housekeeping is
not my forte," have heard more than
one lady say Most of the good house
keepers | know have large families Of
children. Children are the bonds that
bind woman heart to home Love for
them inspires her to try to make home
the dearest spot on earth. Such women
are proud of their homes, proud Of the
dinners they cook, and why not? They
are not ashamed to have it said of them,
"She does her own housework." / must
tell you of two girls | know mother
less girls---daughters of one of our best
physicians They are beautiful, in
telligent girls, both under seventeen, yet
they keep house for their father, and at
tend school regularly. Their home is a
model of taste and neatness. Besides
doing all the housework, they find time
for music lessons, practicing, and the
care of birds and house plants. And
during vacation they do all their plain
sewing. Some people really pity them,
but you would not if you could sec
them. Why, they are as happy as the
day is long. They always do what is to
be done while it is daylight, and so have
their evenings for social enjoyment
No true woman should say House
keeping ia not my forte until she has
tried it, Waterman.

Yesterday afternoon a red-facet
young man belonging to an excursion
party called into drugstore and softly
asked the soda-fouutain boy if he was on.

boy made an investigation and replied:
We are out of sarsaparilla, but
That's all right-all right-you wal

in about two minutes the young man re

and if he hasn't any sarsaparilla won't
take nothing. What do you say?"
ooh, we'll take the same" they re
piled.
The young man began to smile and his
left eye began to draw down, but to his
horror the boy drew off six glasses in sue
cession and pushed them to the front
where they were eagerly drained of theil
contents. He tried to give the boy 6
look of mingled hate and murderous in

He felt in all his pockets, brought uF
watch-keys, pennies, and peanuts, and
finally laid down twenty-seven cents

careworn look on his face.

Perhaps you want some coffee?
"Ain't it funny / can't rememberT'

his chin with the back of his hand and
scanned everything behind the counter
in a wild but Intellectual effort to brush
up his memory.

No, that amt it."
Is it macaroni, mustard, chow-chow,
soap or wine jellyw

+" Possibly you want small measure

sparkled and he said:

No time should be lost in resorting to suit
able remedy. Hostetter's Stomach Btters is
the most reliable and widely esteemed medi-

constipation, or of undue relaxation Of the in
testines, which are usually indigestion or a
instruction of the bile. When it acts as q
cathartic, it does not gripe and violently evacu-

very unlike those Of drastic purgative; and
its power of assisting digestion nuliies those

KILLED IN SING SING"
BY WILLIAM K. M'NULTY.

Dead My boy dead?
Killed in prison, you said.
Who killed him, and why
Was he made like a dog TO def
Who did it? His keeper you say,
In discharge of his duty? Eli
Did duty compel him to kill my son
The light Of my lfe-my only one?
Dead? Killed in felon's dressl
No more shall l feel the caress
OF the lovisg, spirited Maynard child
Tye held to my hreast2 When lad he was Wild
Not vicious SIR but lively and gay,
Till evil companions led him away;
He dropped into crime, as often was told,
But prayed he'd reform, sir, ere he grew old.
Dead? Shot like a dog where he stood?
Dead in the foundry, and bathed in bis blood
Great God but it's terTiblel Can il be true?
Why did they kill him, sir? What did he do?
Twice stabbed keeper melted, to riot?
Go on; I'm listening now, see, Pm quiet
They'd lashed him. you say; and he, pushed to the
wall,
Then turned on his keepers, defying them all'
Dead? Shot like a wandering beast?
Without cen word from the priest
To point out the pathway into the Unknown,
And give absoIution ere his soul had flown?
What? God forgive himl He went to his death
An oath on his lips; a curse his last breath?
Was there none in the throng which surrounded him
there
To think Of his childhood, or whisper prayer?
Dead2 Killed for breaking the PRISONS laws?
1t couldn't be helped, sir; he gave them cause.
He was daring, YOU say? Yes; cen when lad
He never knew fear But they drove him mad
With their iron rules, which he soon fors0t,
Till he goaded them on to fire the shot.
So he's dead and he died in disgrace?
But his soul with its Maker has found place

Water Distribution.
Boston Transcript

During the year 1878 the average resi-
dent of Chicago used from 100 to 147
gallons of water each day, while in 1876
the average in London was only 33 gal
Ions, in Paris 3S, in Philadelphia Sc, in
Boston and Dublin 60, and in New York
95. In Providence, r. l., where meters
had been introduced, the average con-
sumption had been reduced to 80 gal
Ions. In 1868 the resident of Chicago
was satisfied with So gallons, and in 1878
the city's supply was only 29,000,O0O
gallons a day; but now the maximum
capacity of the city's pumping works is
70,000,000 gallons, and the citizens are
using every drop of it.

ITEMS FOR THE FIELD AND HOUSE.

EIGHT POINTS IN BREAD MAKING -.
We sum up briefly eight essential points
in bread making, as gathered from re-
cent contributions to the Farm journal
on the subject, and formed from the
inner editorial consciousness, viz:
/. Good wheat for -four. Some va
rieties Of wheat, such as are deficient in
gluten, will not make good flour.
2. A good miller to grind the wheat.
The bread maker should be sure to find
the good miller.
8. The wheat should not be ground
when very dry. Choose "wet spell "
for the grinding.
4. The -four should be sifted before
using, 70 separate the particles.

interests Of the few, is the maxim of the wise
legislator. But certain men will never admit
the wisdom of this doctrine, any more than
some selfish private practitioners will admit
the superlative value of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, because these remedies have injured
their practice. Of course, no man in his right

the stomach, and impart healthful action to
the bowels and kidneys.

The new tax law of this State compels
railroad and transportation companies, be-
sides their dividend tax, to pay tax on
gross receipts, and companies mining coal to
pay a special tax on that. Home insurance
companies are taxed on their premiums, for
eign insurance companies, banks, and all
corporate and unincorporated fiscal agencies,
on their net earnings, and fixed tax of
four mills on the dollar is levied on all evil
denccs of debt, public or private. Corpora
tions in general are taxed three mills on the
dollar on the par value of their stock, if a
per cent. diyidend is declared, and less or
more as the dividends are larger or smaller.
A tax Of three mills on the dollar on that
valuation is levied If no dividends are de-
elared, all profits kept by the company be-
ing treated as dividends. The tax on trans
pnrtation companies is eight. tenths of per
cent on gross receipts. The specifications
under the tax OF four mills on the dollar on
the evidences of debts, bonds, mortgages and
the like, cover every form under which a
debt is recorded, and are so drawn as to con-
tinue the practice under which public cor
porations, cities, and towns deduct the local
tax from the coupons on their bonds pre-
sehted for payment by the owners outside oi
the State. Mortgages given in the purchase
oi real estate are exempted from all but
State taxation.

$3.50 mile. Since then the road has been
laid with steel rails, and the repairs thereby
