How to Make Toast,

Mrs q. 2. Ewing in a recent lecture
on cookery said: '.Toasting effectually
destroys yeast germs in bread, and con-
verts the insoluble starch into q soluble
substance resembling gum, which chem
lists call deXtrine, so that toasted bread
is incapable of fermenting and produc-
ing tiatulence, or becoming sour on the
stomach. Bread toasted very dry agrees
better with o weak stomach than any
other bread-indeed, q sensitive stom-
ach will frequently digest toast when it
will digest no other article of food.
Hence toast, which is in such general
use as diet for invalids, can be safely
and judiciously recommended for them
at all times; and the loose talk indulged
in by some self-styled teachers of physi-
ology about the extreme unhealthfulness
Of toast, especially when buttered, only
gave emphasis to the fact that toasting
bad bread and melting bad butter does
not improve the quality of either, or
render them less indigeStible orunwhole-
some than when in their original unre-
generate condition. Melting or boiling
inferior butter will not make it proper
food for human stomach, and the most
skillful manipulation will not convert
sour, half-baked bread into nutritious,
palatable toast.
Toast holds so important a place in
our dietary that every one should know
how to make it properly. Yet one of
the best American authorities on Gull
nary matters says only about one in ten
thousand knows how to make toast. and
the lecturer endorsed the statement SO
far as to assert that bad toast was the
rule, good toast the exception. In MAX
ing toast, three directions should be OBJ
served; Cut the bread, which should be
somewhat stale, in even slices, about
half an inch in thickness. If the bread
is fresh, slightly dry them. Hold each
slice a sufficient distance from the fire,
which should be of clear, bright Goals,
to keep it from burning, and let it brown
evenly. For this purpose wire broiler
or a toasting-fork can be used. When
the surface of one side becomes rich
golden color, turn and heat the other
side in similar manner, until the slice
is perfectly toasted. Serve the moment
It's done in warm plate, dry or butter
ed, and it will tempt the appetite of
either invalid or epicure. And the av-
erage individual may indulge OCCASION
ally with impunity in q broiled quail or
Boston stew, served on toast after this
method, without the least fear of future
regret or discomfort.

Three-Oornend.

The boundary-line expedient his bsen
tried more than once by sms-t I'm
principled publicans, who defy h..ti law
and morality for the sake Of inakine
money. Generally such expe, haahts
have had only short-lived success. II
is gratifying TO know that the transg.es-
sor in the following instance was iIn.llly
''cornered'-though there is ,augh-
able element in the dramatic story of
the pursuit of justice, as the Spris 20, ield
Republican tells it:
There is q spot in Vermont where
three counties and three Stati.s Meet,
viz. Massachusetts, Vermont ami Sew
York. A while ago a man leased the
spot and erected a three-soruered
shanty, containing three-cornsred bar,
with a stone at its centre, and began to
sell liquor without license to the sover-
eigns of three States.
When the Bay State constable came
in due time with his handouts and war
rant to arrest him, the culprit stepped
into the Vermont corner, and pointing
to the intervening stone, defied him.
The same happened to Vermont officer.
Then the constables connived to meet
and seize him together. While they
were pulling out their warrants and
handouts the rum-seller broke away
from them and got over into the State
of New York, where he was beyond the
jurisdiction of both.
Then the majesty of the law in three
States was aroused, and the three of
ficers moved upon the shanty at once
and the same time, and the defiant rum
seller was in hot water. He carried out
the 'joke" to the end, however, for get
ting on top of the stone which stands
partly in the three States, he shouted;-
''Come on and divide me into three
parts, but I'll make it hot for the one
that takes the two-thirds that don't be-
long to himr'
He had, however, taken too large
quantity of his own medicine to enable
him to preserve his equilibrium on top
of the stone, and while still defying the
constables he fell off and rolled over into
the State of Massachusetts, where he
was secured by the officer of that State,
and taken to Williamstown in triumph.

How the Digger" Keeps Warm.

Over in the Big meadows, any day, a
tine illustration of chilly comfort may
be seen in the plan adopted by the In
dians to catch fish and keep warm at
the same time. Follow the river, and
occasionally you come across noble
red man, mutlled up in all the old coats
and blankets he possesses, sitting in his
canoe, which is loaded with tirewood
Three or four feet of the center of the
canoe is covered with sand to the depth
of two or three inches, and on this he
keeps bright fire blazing, and with his
back to the flame pursues his business
OF taking in the speckled beauties. The
smoke might prove troublesome to
awhile man, but the Digger is in no
danger of having his complexion in
jured, and as he paddles alongifrom one
good rifle to another, he looks as inde-
pendent as u lord, and throws q glance
of pity at the poor devil of white man
who takes his chances from the snowy
bank, and has to knock under in the
fishing race at the rate of about five to
One.-P2NnlaS CUl. National.

A Delicious Dessert Dish.

A delicious dish for dessert, to be eat
en- cold with cake, is made of oranges.
Pare five or six, and cut them in thin
slices; pour a cup of pulverized sugar
over them; boil one pint of milk, add
while boiling the yolks of three eggs,
and one tablespoon of corn starch,
which you have first rubbed smooth in a
little cold milk; you must stir this every
moment till it begins to thicken like
custard, then pour over the oranges:
beat the whites of the eggs to frost,
add tablespoonful of sugar, put this
over the custard and set it in the oven
to brown. If you dislike the taste of
corn starch substitute two eggs or a ta-
blespoonful of gelatine. e.-NcW York Fee

Cookie is plant grown from its own
seed, and never results from malforma-
tions of the wheat plant. Why it grows
seemingly spontaneous, is thus answered
by an old wheat grower: THE seed of
cookie is largely charged with an oily
substance. SO that it remains in the
ground uninjured for years, and when
exposed by plowing to light and heat the
seed germinates. Wheat lands thus be-
come charged with the seed, and screen
the wheat as thoroughly as we can, the
seed is back. in the soil, and the cookie
grows from it, rather than from any
other agency. Despite all efforts to
eradicate this pest from the wheat fields,
it survives and in some sections is upon
the increase"

The anti-polygamy bill has passed both
houses of Congress, and has doubtless ere
his been signed by the President and is
law. The primary object of the bill is
commendable, but some Of its provisions
are pernicious, and give evidence that the
measure is framed more in the interest
Of the Republican party than that of
public morality. For instance, it de-
rlares vacancy in every county office in
which the incumbent is a polygamist,
md provides for no way of filling such
'acancy, unless, as is assumed, the power
o appoint rests with the Governor. That
'ffice, being an appointee of the Pres-
lent, is. of course, a Republican, and will
fill all the vacant offices by persons of his
'wn political faith. The bill also declares
that every polygamist shall be denied the
he right to vote. This, on its face. is a
just and wise provision, but there is no
nower designated to determine the basis
for the charge of polygamy, and such
oower rests solely with the election
officers. Had the section referred to de,
nied the right of suffrage to all who had
he en- duly convicted of polygamy it wonld
have been beyond the objections Of any
one. These two sections of the bill were
obnoxious to the Democrats in Congress,
and for this reason many members op
posed the measure. Unthinking people
will of course charge that they favored
polygamy, but such an imputation is not
only erroneous but very unjust.

Maryland and West Virginia have an
unsettled dispute of long standing, in
volviEg the right to half a million acres
of fertile land. Charles II. made
grant in 1869 of q large tract. ''bound-
ed on the north by the Potomac" There
are two branches of the river, and the
northern one was taken as the line,
which became the boundary of the
states; but Maryland has never given up
her claim, and new attempt is now be-
ing made to get the territory.

A something that seems very queer,

Though woven in disjointed rhyme.

Who tries to teach with wondrous skill
And thus his honored station fill,
But the ladies have wit h natural tact
Become possessed of this striking fact,
That he of one is very fond
Andit surely is the Parsons Blond.''

For fear thcre'd beno nightly moon,
And being fond of excellent feelings
He makes friendly call at Edings.
And there until the morning light
Drive eff the shadows of the night,
This fair Leandcr's colloquial powers
Dispells the lonely midnight hours
Then, Hs the dawn in amber breaks
His relutant leave he sadly takes,
And promises IF he doesn't die"
To come next Sabbath eve, ''he'l try
Then comes the embraces and "Good Byes''
And quickly to his home he hies,
Remarking the while: 'I'll very soon
Quit dancing to bachelors tune.''
Well, now my minds surcease of gloom,
And can spell that hard word Rheum,
And so III rejoice in future year
That ever my calling led me here.
