to comfort her, she was standing in
front of the cabin, the picture of desola
ton and despair. ........ .. .,
Her face was CHASTITY pale; she was
wringing her hands; low, heart-broken
means issued from her bloodless lips;
the midnight hood of her unloosened
tresses Hoated about her like garment
of misery, and her wild eyes, mmindful
of our presence, were fixed glaringly
upon the dread burden that was being
borne up the path.
Both my companion and I felt that
here was a grief that would admit of no
assuagement just then. We waited for
the fury OF the, tempest to burst and
pass, when the body of her loved one
should be laid at her feet. But, thank
heaven, we were destined to wait for
that in vain! .'+..s.
The litter had just been set down,
and one of those who had accompanied
it, an humble priest, was about to I'M

away, and the next instant, Mario, her
lover, alive and we'll, bounded in among

With great, joyous cry, Benjanina

But the mystery was solved in mo-
ment; for the white, dead face that was
just then reverently uncovered, was,
barring its ghastliness, almost the exact
counterpart of his own. Then, with a
wild cry Of "'My brother-my brother!!"
the youth was on his knees at the side
of the litter, moaning and sobbing out
his wild lamentations. t&u>I pgl5 3aa8,

Daniel Webster had an anecdote Of
Old Father Searle, the minister of his
boyhood, which is too good. to be lost:
1t was customary then to wear buck
skin breeches, in cold weather. One
Sunday morning in autumn, Father
Searle brought his brooches down from
the garnet, but the 'wasps had taken
possession during the summer, and
were having a nice time of it in them.
BY dint of effort he got out the intrud-
ers and dressed for meeting. But,
while reading the Scriptures to the con-
gregation, he felt a dagger from the
enraged small wasted fellows, and
jumped around the pulpit, slapping his
thighs. But the more he slapped and
danced, the more they stung. The
people thought him crazy, bat he ex-
planned the matter by saying: "Breth-
rem, don't be alarmed; the word of the
Lord is in my mouth, but the devil is in
my breeches!" Webster always told il
with great glee to the ministers.

How to Make French Bread.

A French recipe for making French
bread is as follows: Put heaping
tablespoonful of hops and quart Of
hot water over the fire to boil. Have
ready five or six large boiled potatoes,
which mash fine Strain the hops.
Now put apint of boiling water Chat
in which the potatoes were boiled) over
three eupfuls of flour; mix in the
mashed potatoes the quart of strained
hot hop-water, a heaping teaspoonful
of sugar and the same Of salt. When
this is lukewarm, mix in one and a
half yeast cakes, softened. Let this
stand over night in warm place.
In the morning a new process
is in order. First, pour over the
yeast a tablespoonful of warm wa
ter, in which is dissolved half
spoonful of soda; mix in lightly about
ten and half heaping teacupfuls of
sifted flour. No. more flour is added to
the bread during its kneading. Instead,
the hands are wet in luke-warm water
Now knead the dough, giving it about
eight or ten strokes; then, taking it
from the side next to you, pull it up
into long length; then double it,
throwing it down heavily. Wetting the
hands again, give it the same number
of strokes or kneads, pulling the end
toward you again, and throwing it over
the part left in the pan. Continue this
process until large bubbles are formed
in the dough. 1t will take half an hour
or longer. The hands should be wet
enough at first to make the dough
rather, supple. If dexterouslyt man
aged, it will not stick, to the hands after
few minutes, and when it is knead-
ed enough it will be very elastic, full
Of il bubbles, and will not stick to
thefpan. When this time arrives, put
the dough away again in a warm, place
to rise. This will take one or two hours.
Now. comes another process. ,, Sprinkle
plenty Of flour on the board, and take
out lightly enough dough to make one
loaf of bread, remembering that French
loaves are not large nor of the same
shape as the usual homemade ones,
With the thumb and forefnger gather.
up the sides carefully Ito prevent
doubling the grain of the dough) to
make it round in shape. Flour the roll
ing-pin,. press,it in the center, rolling a
little to give the dough more of an OBJ
long form depressed in the center. with
pulled ends. Now give each pulled end
a roll toward the center, tapping well
the ends. Turn the bread entirely over,
pulling out the ends little to give the
loaf a long form and higher in the cen
ter. than at the ends. Sprinkle plenty
of flour ON large baking-pans turned
bottom-side up, uponWhich lay this and
other loayes, a little distance apart, if
there isroom for more than one on one
pan. Sprinkle plenty of flour on the,
tops and set the pans by the side of the
fire to again rise a little, 1t viii take
twenty-five to thirty minutes longer.
Then bake. Kneading bread in the
manner described causes the grain of the
bread to run in one direction. Knead-
ing with water instead of -four, makes
the bread moist and elastic. The fail
ures in making French bread are due
largely to the lack Of proper manipula-
ton Of the dough and partly to the ovens.
