Homemade, Eread.

The cost of converting a 81 barrel of
flour into $50 loaves of bread at 10 cents
a loaf, is estimated at $3> According to
this, what might be. converted into bread
by home labor costing So, plus fuel to
bake it and. yeast to raise, costs SIS when
bought of the baker. If bakers bread
were as good as homemade ought to be,
and may be if made, with care and jadg-
ment it might be in the interest of some
families to buy IT, But those accustomed
to good homemade bread starve on
bakers bread. The best Of -four may be
spoiled in the making. Old yeast, too
mucA or too little kneading, carelessness
in raising and baking will make wretch
ed stuff of flour that might be made de-
liciOus bread. If Fleishmann's yeast is
ohtainable, make the bread thus: At
night sift three or four pounds of -four
into the kneading pan, dissolve a
cake of yeast in a cup of water, and
put it in the pan with half teacup of
sugar, little salt, and enough water or
milk to make soft dough. In the
morning, knead the dough lightly into
loaves, let it rise, and bake. In cold
weather have the water warm, and keep
lllc uOuSi III q WdTLl pltCt. LII WdTm
weather it viii rise rapidly enough if tho
water is cold and the dough is Kept in q
cool place. A little butter mixed with
the dough makes the crust tender and
delicate. The sugar during the ferment-
| i've process is changed into carbonic
acid and makes the bread lighter. IL
dry yeast is used, soak half a cake in a
cup of water half an hour, stir it well
and strain the meal out oft Give the
meal to the chickens, or throw it away
bat do not put it in the -four. Proceed

A pretty chair back is made of an an
tique lace stripe put over silk. Have. the

of the same width at each side;' en-
broider a pretty vine. This is lovely,
made of the lace and blue silk, with

broidered on it. The top is turned down
and hemmed, and the bottom may be
finished with lace, or be made in points

inches, should his rash and impetuous
courage prefer that; to any species of

at is in my, experience. 1t seems
so worked up by hate and revenge that
his nerves are not in the best order.
This or something else overbalances the
ticed shot, for he suffers most frequent
ly. The duel between Conway and Crit
tenden in Arkansas was case i'll point.
They were political rivals, and were
stumping the state. They took differ
ent routes, but at last the people de-
manded joint debate. They met at
Little Rock. Men had ridden hundreds
of miles to hear the debate. They spoke
in an open field. Crittenden dreaded
that trouble. might follow, and he closed
his speech by hoping that no language
would be used toward him
which could not be- toler-
ated by the code of honor. AT this Gen.
Conway jumped up and ,heaped abuse
upon his rival, which promptly broughta
challenge. A vast crowd assembled to
see the fight. There was considerable
delay while the seconds were fixing the
details. During this time Conway stamp
ed up and down the ground. working
himself into furious passion. Critten-
den quietly spread a blanket on the
ground, and, lying down on it was APP
parently asleep when called to take his
place. At the word fire" Conway pull
ed the trigger, the result being that his
bullet struck Crittenden in the side, car
rying away button and clipping the
coat. Crittenden waited cody until the
second had counted 'one, two when two

Edwin Boot Ii i'm England.

The London correspondent of the
Liverpool Mercury writes: "Mr Edwin
Booth returns to America, it is to be
feared, slightly disappointed. A really
fine actor-take one name from the stage
and we have no one his equal in London
he has not been greatly appreciated,
and his recent season at the Adelphi was
something of failure from the monetary
point of view. Mr. Booth, however, is
better than a fine actor. He is man.
When he was made to play with sticks
at the Princess's last year he did not
murmur, and now he blames nobody for
the failure. He only announces as his
irrevocable resolve never to play in Eng
land again."
