WHY Corn BREAD Is NOT GooD.-Op,

WHY Corn BREAD IS Nor GooD.- One
reason why corn bread is so often un-
successful Is, that the batter is made
too thick; it should be thinner than for
iohnny-cake, as the flour helps to thick
on it. Then one ought not to rely too
implicitly on receipts; some kinds of
flour and meal thicken more than Others,
so it is we'll to observe carefully the
first time you use -four or meal from a
new sack. On account of this differ.
ence many cooks prefer to purchase
flour by the barrel, even for very
small faLiily.

AqRICULTURE.

FROM results obtained with various
fertll%lng substances, Professor Atwater
has drawn the following conclusions:
Corn needs little nitrogen besides what
1T can draw from natural sources, while
its yield Is largely increased under the
mfluence Of mineral fertilizors- most
cftectlve being those in WHICH the chief
component is phosphorio acid or potash
according to the soil and the season.
Potatoes respond uniformly to all the
ingredients, and they are less able than
corn to gather from natural sources.
The same appears to be true for turnips.
Not enough experiments haze been
made with other crops to justify conclu-
slons concerning them. Practically, the
largest average yield for all crops ls &C.
cured by the use of fel tllizers containing
nil the essential elements OF plant food.
Used alone, nitrate Of soda is rarely
useful, sulphate OF lime frequently, mu-
riate OF potash very often, and the su-
per-phosphates generally, SOILS vary
III their capacity for conveying food to
crops, and careful observation and eX-
periment are necessary to determine
the needs OF a particular soil.

LONDON, October 16.-At the Grand
Theater Saturday evening, during the
performance of Miss Minnie Palmer,
the American actress, large bouquet
was thrown to her from private box
occupied by three swells. AS she picked
it up note dropped from it and fell
upon the stage in full view of the audi
ence. The lady secured it as she was
leaving the stage and turned it over to
her husband and manager. It proved
to be an invitation to Miss Palmer,
couched in suggestive language, to take
supper with the three at the German en-
bassy, after the performance. Mr.. Rogers,
the husband, Immediately entered the
box, seized the biggest of the trio,
thrashed him soundly, and elected him
from the theater. The crowd outside
took the fellow in hand, stripped off his
clothes and pelted him with mud until
he finally escaped. The other two in
continently bolted. Mr.. Rogers called
atthe German embassy yesterday to ascer-
tain, if possible, if the writer's of the
note to Miss Palmer were in any manner
connected with the legation and was in
formed that the members of the German
embassy we're gentlemen.
