FRENCH BREAD. AS q rule the Frouoh
bread is always sweet and good. and
two things contribute in a great degree
to this-that is, the manner and form of
baking. They never make thick loaf:
no matter what the size or shape. it is
always thin; and more than two thirds
crust They bake their bread until il
is perfectly cooked. The loaves being
80 thin, the heat strikes through them
very soon after they are placed in the
oven; hence oil the fermentation IS
stopped, while in the case of large
loaves fermentation continues to 20 on
after the bread has been in the oven for
some time, and of course much of the
sweetness is lost. Then, in baking so
long, and having so much crust, there
1s peculiar sweetness given wlIioh can
be attained in no other way.

MAKING HAIR GRow.-If the head be
perfectly bald. nothing will ever cause
the hair to grow again. If the scalp
be glossy, and no small hairs are dis
oernlble, the roots or folllcles are dea d:
and you might as we'll cause an arm
which has been amputated to grow
again. However, If small hairs are to
be seen, brush we'll, and bathe the bald
spot three or four times week with
cold soft water:--C Carbonate of ammonia,
one draohm; tinoture of cantharides,
tour draohms; bay rum, four ozs.; cas-
tor oil, two ozs. Some elderly people
often desire to keep their hair from
turning gray. The following dye will
effect this:-Take the hullh OF butter
nuts, say about four ounces, and infuse
IN quart of water. Then add half M
ounce OF oopperas. Apply with soft
brush every second or third day. This
preparation is harmless. and L have rem
sons for believing so, has never been
published. It ia far better than those
dyes made of nitrate of silver.

Normal Summer schools.
Nashville American.

The normal summer school is q
thing Of recent growth in Tennessee
-Four years ago DIR Sears told Prof
Nicholson, of the University of Ten.
nessee, at Knoxville, that one thous.
and dollars Of the Peabody fund
would be placed at the disposition OF
the officers OF that institution if they
would add five hundred. The ar
rangement was agreed to, aud this is
the fourth season of lectures at this
university, lasting a month. Though
the $500 have dwindled to $1,000, the
work goes on, and is clearly growing
in usefulness. Even the example set
by the State University, Normal sum
mer schools have, within the past two
years, sprung up like magic in
every quarter of the State. Both
the Normal College at Nashville and
members of the State University
Faculty have shown a commendable
activity this summer in assisting to
establish them wherever a call has
been made. Two years ago the Leba.
non Normal was begun. 1t may almost
be said to have been a pioneer in the
efforts of the small towns. This sum
mer there ae Is or so in various
parts Of the State in successful opera
ton.
The hest inference that can be
drawn from this sudden impulse
to acquire knowledge is that there
has obviously grown up quiet
ly an irresistible demand for
better teaching in the country
and in small schools and colleges, and
for improved methods of instruction.
Nothing else can satisfactorily explain
the remarkable activity and acknowl
edged earnestness all over the State.
A good sign is it too that the people
of Tennessee have awakened to the
real value of normal teaching. 1t is
reasonable to hope we shall not only
haze no more drawbacks to the Pea
body fund, bgt have the satisfaction
of seeing every Legislature hereafter
aid its working BY every legitimate
means within legislative limit, "

IN the face OF the most imminent
danger Of the pilot house being blown
away, for the steamer was in momeh-
tary danger Of being capsized, and il
was all that the powerful engines
could do to keep her head to the wind.
NTH the first gust of wind Captain
Whitledee made his way to the hurri
cane deck and calmly gave his orders.
A binding rain storm accompanied
the wind.
Injustice to those who are in charge
OF the government improvements at
New Madrid Reach and Plum Point,
and in reply to the complaint pub,
llshed in the st. Louis papers, some
time ago, of inferior work at the
former place, it may be we'll to state
that the $4,000 set aside for the
New Madrid Reach was by the Mis-
sissippi River Commission turned over
to the Plum Point fund, that the work
there might not be discontinued, by
reason OF the failure OF the last Con-
gress to make necessary appropriation
to continue it. The Commission had
a perfect right to make the transfer,
and It was thus really necessity, as the
condition of the unfinished work at
Plum Point rendered it imperative
that operations should remain unin-
terrupted.
