Unhealthy Milk.

Dr. F. E. Brush, of Mount Vernon, N. Y., calls attention to the fact that the sale of diseased and poisonous milk Is 8 matter of more serious moment than that of watered or skinned milk. He suggests as an outline of an i'm proved system of milk laws: First, that all city milk dealers be compelled to procure license from the Board of Health secondly, that all milk dealers report to the Board the quantity of milk they sell and where it is obtained i; thirdly, that in the death certificates of all children under two years of age, dy- ing from certain specified forms of dis ease, the name of the milkman who had supplied them be inserted. By some such plan the board would readily be enabled to detect poisonous milk. If a certain form of infantile trouble was found to exist among the customers of a certain milkman, an inspector could be sent to the source from which the milk came to ascertain if there had been an epidemic in the dairy, if any of the cattle were suffering from disease, and if the milk from a COW too soon after calving had been sent to the city, A few years of observation like this, car ried on conscientiously, he thinks would enable the Board to propose in telligent laws regulating the sale O milk. Of one fact he is thoroughly con vinced-thatthe sale of poisonous mill in New York City produces more trouble than if the whole supply was pure healthy skinned milk.

HOme.Made Bread-TWO LOaYeS.

1OCal lJC.
 For two good-sixed loaves of bread, says Juliet Carson, use three pounds of medium quality of flour, setting aside about quarter of pound to be used in the final kneading of the bread dis solve one two-cent cake of compressed yeast in a cupful of luke-warm water, the actual temperature of which is about 100 deg. Fahr.; put it into wooden bread bowl, stir into it sufficient flour to make batter as thick as that pre- pared for buckwheat cakes that is, 8 batter thick enough to hold for mo- ment on it's surface drop from the mixing-spoon cover the bowl contain ing this batter with a thickly- folded towel made from a salt-bsg and used only in the making of bread, and set It where an even heat will reach it on all sides, of a degree which is simply pleas ant to the hand '; never set the bread bowl on place where the hand cannot be laid. In from half to three-quarters of an hour the sponge so prepared will appear like thick foam, and will be ready for the addition of otber ingredi- ents to prepare it for the baking stir into it a cupful of luke warm water in which teaspoonful uf salt has been dissolved, and the rest of the four ex- cept that for kneading.
 The dough thus prepared should be soft enough to knead easily, but not so soft as to wet the hand the quality of the flour determines the amount of water required the better the flour is .. G., the more gluten it contains-the more water it will absorb, and the larger loaf of bread it will produce. Flour the bread board, turn the dough out on it, and knead it gently for five minutes, using the reserved four to keep it from sticking to the board or the hands. At the end of five minutes divide the dongh into two loaves, put each one into but tered bread pan twice as large as the piece of dough, place the pans where they will be slightly warm, and cover them with the folded towel until the loaves have increased to twice their original size; then bake them in 8 moderate oven until trusting needle or small knife blade run into the thickest part of each loaf can be withdrawn bright and dry. Rub over each loaf the smallest bit of butter, which will glaze it. Remove the loaves from the pans, | until they are cool, if soft crust is de- sired; to let them cool uncovered will | give them hard crust.
 If any housekeeper trying this receipt does not succeed in making good bread, I hope she will write to me, and will endeavor to remedy the trouble; but really it only requires care and patience to make, by following it, the finest and most wholesome bread.

Waning Fortunes.

A Carsonite, who came up from San Francisco few days ago, spending the greater part of his time in the vicinity of Pauper Alley, stated to the Appea Reporter that there are scarcely ten of the countless brokers who made enor- nous fortunes during the Grown Point and Belcher and subsequent Bonanza rises, who now have as much as $5O,O lying to their credit with their bankers. Many and many of the broken brokers woul1, during the palmy days ranging from 1871 to 1877, clear from $1, ,OOO to $3,O0O per day in commis- sions but they were not satisfied with such paltry revenues; they had to buy stocks on their personal accounts. and in very short time Independent for tunes, varying from $500,0O0 to 3D. 900, 900, dwindled to comparative insig- nificance. Many of these men, who built palatial residences on Van Ness avenue and other aristocratic quarters of San Francisco, with equipages and all else in harmony, are now rusticating with their families in cheap boarding houses ln Oakland and that vicinity,
 The Appeals informant speaks of one broker, who shall be nameless, g personal friend of his, who, in 1877, had fortune of $1,5OO,OO0 in cash, real estate and bonds. The broker sent his family to Europe in 1873, where they remained until the latter part of 1878, keeping up an establishment in Paris at cost of $50, ,00O per annum, and his personal expenses in San Francisco could not have been less than $25, 900 6 year. He went into Sierra Nevada and Union at top notch figures, expecting an appreciation in values as in the case of the Consolidated Virginia and Cali
 fornia mines. The stock dropped anc
 began to average" until the stocks reached $100 per share; by that time his money and credit had both been ex hausted. He is now clerking in { banking house on California street at salary of $15O per month. Other similar cases were recited, but it is unnecessar, l to publish them. Bodie Free Press.

A Mothers Love.
FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.

A private letter brings us this singu- lar story:
 A widowed lady in New York gave her only daughter in marriage to physician who lived in California. The mother and daughter were deeply at tached to each other, and had been in- separable companions for years.
 After the newly married couple had gone, the mother, who was an invalid, sank suddenly and rapidly. Telegrams were sent after them urging them to re- turn, but, as their exact course was not known, the messages failed to reach | them.
 The mother grew worse. Her prayer was that she might live to see her child again, if but for moment. On the af- ternoon before her death she was left alone for few minutes, and when her attendant returned she was found sit- ting up in her bed, her cheeks flushed, her face illuminated with delight.
 "Have you seen Charlotte ?" she asked. "She has just gone into the other room"
 "Charlotte has not come" they said.
 Oh, yes," she replied, smiling, "I have had her in my arms, kissed her.
 God has been so good to me, to bring
 her back in time " and so talking she sank into an exhausted slumber from which she never awoke.
 Now on this afternoon the daughter
 was ill Omaha, totally ignorant of her mothers illness. Her h-sband after ward wrote that on that afternoon, being in their private parlor in hotel, she suddenly sank into deep sleep which a lasted nearly an hour. From this she f awoke pale and sobbing, saying she a had dreamed she was with her mother , who looked strangely ill and exhausted
 The impression, however, soon passed t away.
 This coincidence, of course, can easil, n be explained on natural grounds, ano - yet one almost wishes that it could no p be so explained. We would like t, n believe against reason that the mother l love would be strong enough to brinl q back her child for that brief moment t, g ease the pain of death.
 n In Pompeii, lately, the workmen dls r covered in the hardened mud of neN r excavations, two empty spaces left b. l. decayed and vanished bodies. Tn t spaces having been filled as moul n would be with plaster, as is the usua I. practice, the figure of woman with he B arms outstretched to little boy wer @ brought to light.
 The child was just beyond her reach n but as the frery flood flowed in upo @ her, she had held out her arms to say
 him-in valn. Eighteen centurie, hay
 passed since then. Every atom of ths
 woman's form has passed from sight l. Yet there is the mothers love immol 'A tai till.-Frone Youths Companion.
