Rpr,n MAKING. There is no more
important branch in the process OF culinary
deve,opemeut than that of bread making,
or any tn requires more practice and care.
The Americans have more kinds Oh oread
than any other nation. yet they do not
always have better. and generally not as
GOOD as is often found In other countries
There are many ways of making bread: by
mixing with yeast, by using leaven. by salt
risings and milk yeast, and by mixing tie
-four with water which Is charged with
carbonic acid, called aerated bread. Yeast
bread is by far the most healthful and econ
omical of all modes of making it. There
are great many rules, but the first prin-
ciples are always the same. These are,
one quart of -four, little more than one
fourth Of quart of water, one-fourth OF
cake of compressed yeast, one-fourth OF q
tablespoonful of sugar The water snouid
always be blood warm, and the dough thor
oughly kneaded TO evenly distribute tne
yeast, and render the grain OF the Dreaa
fine and uniform. Milk is often USED
instead of water, with little butter, which
makes 1t more nutritious: yet there is no
bread which has the delicious, sweet taste
o, the wheat. and which will keep as long
as yeast bread made with water. Leaven,
which one associates more with cookery
described in biblical literature, Is paste
made of -four and water and allowed to
sour. Sometimes housekeepers and bakers
keep piece of the risen dough for the next
mixing, and this is called leaven-

ONLY WAITING.


Only till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmcr
or the days last beam has flown,
Till the night of earth has faded
From the heart once full Of day:
Till the stars of heaven are breaking
Through the twilight soft and gray.
Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home ;
For the summer time is faded,
And the autumn winds have come,
Quickly, reapers gather quickly
The last hours of my heart
For the bloom Of life Is Withered,
And ! hasten to depart.
Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet long have fingered,
Weary, poor and desOlatc;
Even now | hear the footsteps,
And their voices far away;
If they call me, am waiting,
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
Are q little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam has flown;
Then from out the glaringydarknes
Holy deathless stars shall rise,
BY whose light my soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skies.

star Route Crookedness.

New York, 2l.-The Sun prints the
/ all the failures Of the star route prosecu-
tors to do their duty is found in the ease
| upon which the so-called Information
was based. Corruption and fraud were
stamped upon the face of the Walsh cen
tract. Brady, Walsh and others con-
cerned quarreled among themselves. The
MacVeagh agents wanted TO use Walsh
as a witness, and how did they set about
it. While Brady was in Office he issued
an order on March oath, 1881, curtailipg
$50 miles of service on the route Of this
contract, and deducting $S8, 005.43 per
Rnnum from the pay, pro rata on &C.
count Of the railroad extension. He
also reserved the question of one months
extra pay for future consideration upon
the alleged ground that the contractor
had failed on the remainder OF the route.
Brady issued another order on April
18th, 1881, directing that the pay OF
Walsh for the quarter ending March
31st, 1881, be suspended. Brady went
out of Office leaving Walsh unpaid for
the quarter, fer having failed to perform
the contract. No matter what motives
may have governed these acts, they were
official, and they stand upon record now.
MacVeagh drew sfida7its, which James
signed ss postmsster-general, charging
10 Walsh contract to be fraudulent and
corrupt, IS it undoubtedly was. In
face of this sworn declaration, James
on the 18th of June, 1881, removed the
suspension of Walsh's pay ordered by
Brady; and three days later he ordered
Walsh to be paid SIS, C24.6 on this failed
and fraudulent joh." On the lat of July,
1881. James made further order reless
ing Walsh from all fines and forfeitures
for breach u contract as follows: "Af-
fdavits Of the contractor Of June 10Th
and 30th, 1881, herewith and report and
recommendation thereon, by A. NJ. Glib
son, of tina department of Justice, L. Z.
Woodward, postofice inspector and A.
A. Freeman, assistant attorney general,

absolute gift made upon the contrac-
er's affidavit only, and the recommends
ton Of three of MacVsagh's agents, with
out other testimony. Adding this gift to
the other allowance walsh received. S24,-
1858 from government which he could
not have received under Brady's orders.
This transaction necessarily provo kes
comment. There is no suspicion that
James intended to act improperly, but
the evidence is clear that in accepting
the acts of MacVesgh's department he
was led into an error which has resulted
in advantage to Brady and the ring, and
in pecuniary profits to somebody.
b It is understood that action is postponed
SO the defendants can be used as witnesses
in other cases.
