Bread and Bread Making,

A good liquid yeast is made as fol-
lows: Peel and slice six medium-sized
potatoes, and boil them in two quarts
of water with handful of hops tied up
in bag. When the potatoes are soft,
mash and strain; raise with little good
yeast. When light. add two tablespoon.
fuls of salt and one-half cup OF sugar,
and bottle it. This will keep good q
month in summer, if placed on ice or
in cool cellar, and is better after il has
been made week.
For two loaves Of bread and pan of
biscuits, proceed as follows: Take one
quart of warm water in which is dis
solved two tablespoonfuls of lard or
butter, one spoonful of white sugar,
and half cup of yeast. Stir in enough
flour to make rather stiff batter.
Cover and Get to rise over night. In
the winter bread can be raised even in
a cold room by setting the pan over q
kettle Of warm water or on a piece of
warm soapstone.
In the morning, see to your bread
the first thing. Do not neglect it if you
wish it good. Stir in -four till it will
kDead without sticking to the board.
Knead we'll and return to the pan for
the second rising which will be soon.
Then knead thoroughly-a good way is
to cut it with your chopping knife-and
put it IN pans to rise. Have the pans
about half full, and when q little more
than even with the top, prick and pat
in the oven. Bake from half to three
quarters of an hour. Have the bread
box thoroughly cleansed and place the
bread in it before it is quite cold, so
that it may steam little.
When y0H knead the last time, save
out about pint of the dough, to this
add three tablespoonful of melted
butter, tho same quantity OF white
sugar. and q quarter of teaspoonful
of soda dissolved in little cold water;
put in -four till it can be kneaded, and
set to rise. Then make into biscuits;
cover with y cloth and set in cool or
warm place according to the weather.
This should be one at least two hours
before your tea time.
OF course, bi,cuits can be made of
the dough without the addition of more
sugar and butter, but as nearly every
one is fond of these short, sweet bis
cults, and but few know how to make
them, have given these minute direc-
lions.
Some prefer kneading the bread at
night to making batter, but with this
yeast the sponge will not sour even in
the warmest weather, if made up the
last thing at night and attended to the
first thing in the morning. Sour yeast
ought never to be used, but if this is
unavoidable you will find it better to
put the soda in it before mixing the
batter than to add it in the morning.

England and Turkey.

The Queens Speech. read at the
opening of the British Parliament last
week, proposes but few measures of
legislation, but these are of real inn
portance. They include bill relative
to burials, the renewal of the ballet
act, and bills for giving more effectusl
protection to the occupiers of land
against injury from the ground game;
for determining on just principles
the liabilities of employers for accl-
dents sustained by workmen, and for
the extension Of the borough franchise
in Ireland. The Peace Preservation Act
for Ireland will not be renewed. As
to the foreign policy of the government,
the addres says its present and chief
aim will be to promote, in concert with
the other powers of Europe, "the early
and complete fultiilment of the treaty
of Berlin with respect to effectual re-
forms and equal laws in Turkey, as we'll
US such territorial questions as are not
yet settled in conformity with the pro.
visions of the treaty."
In discussing this part of the address
in the House of Commons, Mr.. Glad
stone said the appointment of Mr.. Cos
chen as Ambassador Extraordinary to
the Porte was specifically designed to
clear up the misapprehensions enter
tanned by Turkey as to the attitude
and purpose of Great Britain touching
the literal execution of the Berlin
Treaty. "The Government" Mr.. Glad
stone said, "viewed the Greek and
Montenegrin questions as pressing. 1t
was desirable to disabuse the minds Of
the Turkish people OF the notion that
England had a special, separate in
terest in the maintenance Of Turkey. It
was also desirable to remove from the
mind of the Porte the idea that En-
gland was disposed to trespass upon
their rights in Asia. All that the Gov
eminent desired, he said. was to see
obligations of Turkey faithfully full.
filled. They had no desire to reduce
the limits Of Turkish territory in any
direction"
There can be no doubt that the pur-
pose here announced will he vigorous
ly prosecuted. Mr.. Goschen has al
ready had interviews on the subject
with the premiers of France and Aus
tria, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that Turkey will soon be sum-
moned to give a categorical Seply to
the collective demands of representa-.
tives Of the signatory powers. Among
the measures which will probably be i'm
posed on Turkey is the establishment
of the International Administration
Commission stipulated by the treaty.
If Mr.. Gladstone shall succeed in
bringing the perfidious Turk to an
honest performance of his obligations,
or, failing in that shall array against
him the conscience and power of civil
lied Europe, he will, in one act, rem
der service to the cause of good gov
eminent greater than Beaconsteld, with
all his pomp and pretense of statesman
ship has ever, in long lifetime, per-
formed-Frdnk Leslie.

that very primitive. It has no towns,

habitants. The settlements are chiefly
composed of huts without chimneys,
many of them more wretched than the

DR.. Holmes on Poetry to Order.

The Reading (Mass.) Neaos says:
Some time ago, Miss Annie Lawrence,
one of the younger pupils of the High

little poetical contribution for the oc.
casion. The reply OF the genial author
is very characteristic, and we reproduce
it:

The Duke of HamiltOn's FrOlic.

Speaking OF the Duke of Hamilton,
no man, for years past. has left repu-
tation for greater eccentricity at Oxford
than his grace. The following anec.
dote, however, will prove that the frol-
los were none of them malicious, but
merely the results of the hot blood of
youth.
One evening the Duke went to Stand
ems and bought the best hat he could
find. Ornamented with this brand new
head covering he lounged into gro
GERS shop at st. Aldate's and quietly
remarked to the astonished assistant:
want some treacle-about big
Jug full, and I will take it with me-"
The man. recognizing his customer
and remembering the weil-known &c.
centricity of the Duke, contented him
self with asking, "Does your grace
want it in pitcher?"
"No," replied the Duke, carelessly,
don't care to be seen walking about
with pitcher; put it in my hat!'
And with this he laid his new pur-
chase on the counter.
The man gravely filled the Lincoln &
Bennett with treacle, and when it was
nearly brim full, the Duke told him to
stop. "How much do owe you ?" in
quired the Premier Duke of Scotland.
The man mentioned the price; the
Duke threw E5 note on the table, and
as the shopman was STOPPING over his
sawer, looking for change, he clapped
ne hat, treacle and all. on the mans
head, and left tho shop with his boon
companions, who all heart. ly enjoyed the
the, and thought the man we'll paid for
his discontinue and temporary annoy
ance by the present of new hat, only
partially damaged, and flyer. If the
shopkeepers of Oxford are to-day as
they were then, I think many would
undergo similar ordeal for the sake
of like reward. Whitehall Repieao.
