bread thus made is very white, moist
andsweet, somewhat resembling baking

saltspoonful of soda, and let the

without burning; cover the pitcher with
a folded towel, and keep the kettle

this will be in about two or three hours.
When the batter is light, stir in another
pint of warm water-temperature, 100

An Emblem of Industry.

A carpenter, who recently opened a
shop on Grand River avenue in Detroit,
says the Free Press, went to a sign
painter aud told him he wanted him to
paint an emblem representative OF in
dustry and perseverance, leaving it to
the man of brush what form the en-
blem should take. The other day the
painter appeared with board on which
he had painted the likeness of a man,
and announced that he had finished the
job.
''That's no emblem p exclaimed the
carpenter as he stood off and surveyed it.
"That picture represents industry
and perseverance, and that's what was
wanted" was the reply.
"Why didn't you paint me a beaver
or q bee-hive?"
''My friend, that is the likeness of q
ward politician who has been hunting
for Office for twenty -one years, and ]
want to tell you that for industry and
perseverance he can doubled discount all
the beavers ever heard of and all the
bee-hives in America"

THE RESCUE.
By CAPTAIN BURTON.

1t was in the month of February,
1881, bright moonlight night, and in
tensely cold, that the little brig COM
manded lay quietly at her anchors inside
of the Hook.
We had a hard time OF it, beating
about for eleven days off this coast,
with cutting north-easters blowing, and
snow and sleet falling for the most of
that time. Forward, the vessel was
thickly coated with ice, and it was hard
work to handle her, as the rigging and
sails were stiff, and yielded only when
the strength of the men was exerted to
the utmost. When at length we made
the port, all hands worn down and ex-
hausted, we could not have held out
two days longer without relief.
GA bitter cold night, Mr.. Larkin," 1
said to my mate as I tarried for a
moment on deck to finish my cigar.
The worthy down-eas buttoned his
coat more tightly around him, looked
up to the moon, and felt his red nose
before he replied, &c It's a whistler,
captain, as we used to say on the
Kennebec. Nothing lives comfortable
out of blankets in such a night as
this"
"The tide is running out swift and
strong; it will be well to keep sharp
lookout for the floating ice, Mr..
Larkin."
cay, ay, sir" responded the mate,
and went below.
Two hours afterward, was aroused
from a sound sleep by the yigilant Off
GER.
Excuse me for disturbing you, cap
tain," said he, as he detected an express
sion of vexation on my face; "but I
wish you would turn out and come on
deck as soon as possible"
"Why, what's the matter, Mr.. Lar
kin?"
"Why, sir, I've been watching cake
Of ice that swept by at little distance
a moment ago; L saw something black
upon it-something that l thought
moved-the moons under q cloud, and
| could not see distinctly, but l really
believe there's a child floating out to
sea, in this freezing night, on that cake
of ice."
We were on deck before either spoke
another word. The mate pointed out,
with no little difficulty, the cake of ice,
floating off to the leeward; and its
white, glitteriDg surface was broken by
a black spot-more l could not make
out.
"Get me tho glass, Mr.. Lnrkin
the moon will be out of that cloud in
moment, and then we can SEQ dis

kept my eye on the receding mass
of ice, while the moon was slowly work
ing her way through heavy bank OF
clouds. The mate stood by with glass.
When the full light fell at last upon the
water with brilIiancy only known in
our northern latitudes, put the glass
to my eye-one glance was enough.

And This Is War.

A crowd gathers on the street, at
tracted by the voice of public speaker.
At first it is compact and deeply inter-
ested. As you watch it and the min
utes go past you see one single person
edge off and go his way. The crowd
does not miss him. Then another takes
his leave-then a third, fourth and
fifth. You see no diminution-not when
the five have been made twenty. 1t Is
only when great section breaks away
that you discover the loss.
One who looked down on Sherman's
camps when he was in sight OF Atlanta,
could not discover that he had lost a
single soldier since the campaign
opened. And yet attrition had been at
work every day and every hour. His
loss OF five here-ten there-6fty yester-
day-a hundred to-day, had footed up
nearly 5000 in month. So, too, had
the constant rattle of musketry told on
Johnson-not to such an extent, but
enough to make him realize that his
lines were thinner when stretched out
to prevent that terrible long arm from
passing his flank.
When a campaign begins murder
never ceases-not even when the great
armies rest in camp. A thousand
cavalry ride out in the mornlng-nine
hundred return at night. Five hundred
infantry are detailed for picket duty,
twenty-five are left in shallow graves in
the woods and thickets. There is con-
slant pop pop! popl OF rifles and
muskets between the pick ets-a con
slant diminution by disease-now and
then a sally or raid, and company "a
or seB" realizes that attrition is doing
it's deadly work only when the sergeant
calls the roll.
Every rod of Johnson's position along
the Chattahooche can be plainly traced
to-day. Even the protection thrown up
for the skirmish-lines can be found on a
moonlight night. The river is hardly
more than creek in spots, and yet it
held one army at bay and protected
another. A mob rushes at hill-over
a river-at a brick wall. An army is a
sensitive spider. 1t feels this way and
that II suspects retreats - advances -
pauses at distinctions which school
boy would laugh to scorn. What mob
could carry with rush an army would
sit down and study; what a mob would
capture with dash and hurrah, an
amy will pause to sap and mine and
lombard. It is not that commander
fears a sacrifice of life, but because war
has its grooves to run in, and when it
gets out of them it is gigantic locomo-
five off the rails. M. QUAD.
