Toast.

Tea and toast is almost national dish
in England. No American can have
any idea of the goodness of English toast
unless he was ''brung up to it," as the
darkey was to baked pOssum. In order
to make good toast you must first catch
your bread there are two kinds to make
toast of, the oven-baked homemade
bread and the bakers loaf. The toast
is not made as with us by slapping it
over the Goals on hot wire toaSter
where it browns hit or miss, nor is it
laid on the top of the cooking stove; no,
| it is put on a toasting fork and held be-
fore a red-hot fire, and it browns quickly
without driving up the center. 1t is then
buttered on both sides, and as each
slice is toasted it is laid on the other
until there is a pyramid of large
slices. Then the pile is cut through
twice and it is covered and kept hot I'M
til taken to table The youngsters of
the family are usually helped to the top
slices, the elders to the center pieces, as
they have no end crust, and as the pile
diminishes each piece is found to be
richer and better, the steam and melted
butter making it soft and tender, and
the flavor being indescribahly good.
This is English buttered toast. The
next favorite is dry toast, which is cut
in thin slices, and is rather crisp. 1t is
buttered as it is eaten, and dipped in
morning coffee is very palatable. An
English breakfast table is never without
toast and eggs. Buttered toast is a staple
dish for home teas, and taken in connec-
ton with rich golden preServes-the
English abominate canned fruits-iust
moistened with cream, it is not bad.
Another tempting dish when well
made is milk toast. This is sometimes
called by courtesy cream toast, but it is
seldom that cream is used. A cup of
butter is added to the milk, and enough
-four to make it of the consistency of
cream, with heaping tablespoonful of
pulverized sugar, will make a good
liquid for the purpose. The fault with
milk toast is that it is generally reduced
to sop, and fit only for infants or inva-
lids. The slices of toast should be firm
and whole when served, and if properly
made will be so.-Detroit Post and

Not too Large FlOckS.

Experience has proved with sheep, as
with fowls, that it is not wise to keep
too many together. One man who has
had trial of the keeping of sheep saws
that out of a flock of LOO head that he
was interested in he lost in one winter
54S head, while his loss in flocks of from
800 to 500 head did not average two per
cent. When sheep run in large focks,
every sheep must travel over more
ground to obtain its food than when
small focks are kept together, and as
that ground is usually travelled over
daily, the less the numbers are the bet
ter it will be for the sheep, even if the
pastures are ever so good. For the best
success, even if you have ten thousand
sheep, keep them in separate fiocks OF
about 200 to the fock.-San Francisco

Tony Pastor in Trouble.

Tony Pastor, of New York, who is now with
his inimitable variety combination, making a
tour of the principal cities of the Union, is
recognized as the leading character vocalist
and variety performer Of the United States.
He owns and runs frst-class theater on
Broadway, New York City, and has gathered
about him the best troupe of variety artists
that could be obtained. The company has
just completed brilliant engagement at the
Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, and aft
er the present tour they viii reappear in Tony
Pastors own theater in New York City Mr..
Pastor is the originator of his peculiar school
of character singing, and has made himself
immensely popular, having realized by his
talents large fortune.
The writer Of this article met Mr.. Pastor re-
Gently at the Bingham House, in Philadelphia,
and found him as genial in private as he is
amusing before the public. During our con-
yersation l inquired as TO his physical health,
and he replied that, notwithstanding the
strain upon him in the discharge of his pro-
fessional duties, it was excellent He had oc-
casionally severe pains, either the result of
rheumatic attacks colds, but any complaints
of that character never troubled him long, as
he had found out remedy for all such annoy
ing affections. I asked him what the remedy
was, and he replied, st. Jacobs Oh" then
learned from Mr.. Pastor that he considered
the Great German Remedy an excellent prepa-
ration for the cure or relief Of rheumatism,
and that it was about the only thing used
among professional people for that distressing
complaint. He took bottles of it with him
whenever he went travelling, and would not be
without it, and knew that it was very popular
with number of members of his own COM
pany. A conversation held subsequently with
various members OF the organization revealed
thaenct that st. Jacobs Oil had been perform
ing Hbst invaluable service for them in the
way ds curing them of rheumatism. Nearly
eyery<artist in the troupe used it, and was en-
thusiastic in it's praise, and the writer was
really forced to the conclusion that Tony
Pastor was certainly in luck in having SO valu-
able an article known and employed by his
inimitably good company of performers, for it
enabled every one to be always in his place,
thus insuring comfort to the management and
genuine satisfaction to the public Tony
Pastor would certainly be in trouble without
St. Jacobs Oil At least, other managers
whose artists have been temporarily unsup-
piled, have noticed the difference between st.
Jacobs Oil in stock and st. Jacobs Oil out of

1t is believed that the Central Pa
ciic Oakland ferry depot, which was
formally opened with public ball not
long since, is the longest of any in
the world. The train sheds on either
side are geo feet long. The two open
sheds at the sides are each $50 feet long.
The total represents the original esti-
mated length of the whole building.
But to these were added two thirty-feet
sheds, or, as they are termed in railroad
phraseology, " bents,'' so that the total
length of the depot building is close
upon LOO feet. The breadth is 240
feet. The mole is $3.50 feet long from
the Oakland shore. For a distance of
$500 feet it is wide enough to carry four
railroad tracks and carriage-way, or a
width of about one hundred feet; thence
to the end of the mole it increases to
a width of $50 feet. 1t is estimated at
the offices of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company that over one million
cubic yards of earth, gravel and rock
have been used in the construction of
the mole.

The Rev. George O. Barnes has
fairly outstripped the Boy Evangelist
Harrison as sensational revival
preacher in the West. His meetings
attract crowds in Louisville. His bottle
of Oil is still in request, and with it he
anoints the foreheads of all converts.
But he is something more than gro
tesque. His power of oratory is remark
able. He can make his audience roar
with his comical mimicry or weep by
his pathos. Again, he carries their feel
ings by storm. ''This is a poor body
for an immortal SOUL he exclaimed,
indicating his by no means robust
physique, s.but have in this breast the
element of eternal life. 1t is a poor,
hacked, and worthless body, but the
soul is there. l can feel it throbbing
and throbbing like a big engine in some
battered old ship. With every turn of

bling with energy, describe the revolu-
tions from his elbow, his body shaking
with suppressed strain, and his eyes
lighted up with intense fire-''with
every turn of the great wheels the old
hulk trembles and groans and quivers;
it may go to pieces, but the engine
throbs on stronger and better than the
hulk, full of power and life" He tells
his converts that they need never be i'll
if they will lead perfectly holy lives, in
which case they would be caught up to
heaven without diving.

Good Crops.

The grain crop is reported good
mall parts of the United States,
but it is poor in Europe. The crops
in Ireland are very bad, and in
England rust will probably reduce
the yield to minimum. Should
the war be protracted in Egypt,
which now looks probable, there
will be an almost total failure OF
crops in that prolific land. The
Egyptians are dependent upon the
overflow of the Nile for crops, which
begins in June and ends in Septem-
Der. An admirable aud elaborate
system Of canals is provided for the
purpose of systematic irrigation.
These canals, during the rise of the
Nile, require close and intelligent
attention, in order to utilize the
waters during the period indicated
above. Should the war be pushed
Arab Pasha will be compelled tc
muster the irrigators into service
and the result will be disastrous tc
crops. In any event, the United
States will be compelled to make
large exports of grain to Europe.

Up to this hour the River and

not like the bill, because it appro-
PIRATES money to unimportant riv-
ers, and grave fears are entertained
that he will veto it. A strong pres
sure has been brought against him
from the East to prevent his ap-
proving the bill. The leading pa

it strongly. In this case it is the
East against the West and South

about three miles west Of Wesson.
The particulars as related to us

the negroes on the place had traded
a violin for single barrelled pistol
and placed the same loaded in a
trunk. Willis was lying ON the bed
alone in the room. and the trunk
was at the edge of the bed. Lean
ing over, he took out the pistol, and
in putting it back the hammer
struck the lid of the trunh, explod-
ing the weapon, the bali penetra-
ting the lung. The negro jumped
and ran about a hundred yards.
When help came, he was past recov-
cry, and died in ten minutes.-Wes
