SYRACUSE, n. Y, March 2l.-Fred.
Wilkinson, prominent banker and Dem
ocratic politician, and an intimate friend
of Samuel j. Tilden, recently paid a visit
to that gentleman at his Gramercy
Park residence. Mr.. Wilkinson avowed
himself as having leisure and the
disposition to do active political
work this year, and his wish and eXpecta-
ton of putting in some solid labor for the
old ticket Mr.. Tilden responded that he
could not be made the Democratic nomi-
nee under any circumstances, and that
there were younger and Sturdier men who
could be looked for as possessing all the
needed qualities of leadership. Mr..
Wilkinson pressed him for an indication
of choice, and finally Mr.. Tilden in pretty
broad terms intimated that a Democrat
with good war record, soldier of the
Union army, should be the man. He de-
clincd, however, to be any more explicit.

Ornamental Woods of Oregon.

A San Francisco paper notes the de-
parture from that port of a ship destined
for Europe loaded with redwood and
other furnishing timbers of California
growth. The shipment is in the nature
of an experiment, but it is stated that
the conditions of cost, transport and
market have been carefully studied, and
that there is no doubt Of the success of
the enterprise. And it is predicted that
other ships and many of them will fol-
low. 1t is a fact well known that Ore
gon produces a greater variety and
much finer woods than California. The
Port Oxford cedar is of the ame gener-
al character, but in every particular re-
spect a better timber than the redwood.
Its color is betterfor panel and other fine
work, and its grain is more distinct.
We have a dozen or a score of other fine
woods, but the best and most plentiful
of all is the myrtle, which grows along
the streams of the southern coast.
The beauty of this wood is
beyond comparison. 1t is near.

mahogany colored streaks, is hard and
susceptible of a perfect polish, and re.

mental timber, except rosewood. equal
to it. Even the curly and birds-eye ma.
pie, SO much admired, is dingy and
c~heap-looking beside it, and the famous
redwood is as inferior as ordinary cedar
is to mahogany. If this beautiful tim.

A Hindu Female Medical Student.

Anandibal Joshee. a Hindu woman of
the highest Brahminical caste, is a stu
dent in the Women's Medical College,
of Pennsylvania. The mark indicative
of her rank in life is on her forehead.
She is said to be the first Brahmin wo-
man who eve left India. One of the
principal articles in the Brahminical
faith strictly %enjoins that no Brahim
shall cross the ocean,. She is scarcely
five feet in height, and although quite
plump, is graceful in her motions. In
order to Keep her caste while here she
must live by herself, prepare her own
food, veal the native costume, and
rigidly observe certain religious rites.
If she is faithful in these things, when
she returns to India there will be a meet
ing of the principal Brahmins, who will
hear her confessions, and then absolve
her from her transgressions. She is
highly educated, and a remarkable lin
guist, speaking seven languages fluent
ly, among them Sanskrit. She was
asked if she had any difficulty in &C
curing English. '.Oh, no." she replied,
sit was very easy after Sanskrit. My
husband taught me. 1 studied English
five years with him, but 1 did not speak
it at all until I went on board Ship
She speaks so well that it is difficult to
believe this: and she writes better than
she speaks.-IndianapoHsJ Journal.

Milk for Pigs.

The Wisconsin Experiment Station
has been making a series of interesting
experiments to ascertain the value of
sweet milk for feeding pigs. Two lots
of pigs were fed separately, one lot
upon corr meal, the other lot upon
milk, the latter being given all they
would take. After twenty-five days
the milk-fed pigs had gained fifty and
one-half pounds, against forty and
three-quarters made by the meal-fed
lot. The lots were then reversed, the
milk-fed pigs being put on meal, and
the meal-fed lot being given milk for
twenty-five more days, at the end of
which time the milk-fed had made a
gain of se%venty-nine pounds, and the
meal fed only sixty-one and a half
pounds.
The weight of both lots of food were
recorded, and showed that 500 pounds
of corr meal made a pound of pork,
and that 1900 pounds of milk made
the same quantity of pork, live weight,
o that when live hogs are worth five
cents per pound, milk is worth about
half a cent per pound.
Other experiments in feeding meal
and milk together showed very much
more value in the milk, ranging from
forty cents to ninety cents per 100
pounds. At the latter rate the value
per quart would be one and three
fourths cents. This is surely a pretty
strong showing in favor of butter or
cheese making, instead of sending milk
off to the cities ct only two cents per
quart, the price at which much has
been sold within the past few years.

A Triple Suicide.

An almost unexampled occurrence
has taken place near Venice-a triple
suicide. Two lovers in France, and a
husband and wife in other countries,
have often destroyed themselves, and
there are cases in which parents, from
an excess of misery, have put a end TO
both themselves and their offspring; but
that three persons should make up their
minds to leave the world together at the
same time is without precedent. The
victims were three sisters of good fam
lily, n suffering from approaching
blindness and another from epilepsy,
but the third, "a young lady of extreme
grace and beauty" who had announced
her intention of not surviving her sis
tiers. Their last act was to place a
wreath of flowers upon their mothers
tomb. This is "a riddle of the painful
earth" indeed.-Chicago Herald.

About Yeast.

Dry yeast is made by mixing corn
meal with ordinary hop yeast until the
whole is of sufficient stiffness to be
nodded into cakes. These cakes are
then dried at an even, moderate tenn
perature, and when quite dry and hard
can be kept for many months, if put in
a place away from dampness and the
extremes of heat and cold. This was
the favorite yeast of our grandmothers,
who gave it the name of s'emptins," a
word originally derived from ..empty-
ings," which was applied to the lees of
beer. But why it should be given to
yeast which was made from the frothy
ferment of the malt liquor it is hard to
guess. Dry yeast has of late years be-
come an important article of commerce,
and now that it can be procured of
every grocer, many housekeepers do
not take the trouble to make it for
themselves. Others prefer to do so,
since by so doing they can be better as
sured of its freshness. This yeast loses
its virtue if it becomes old, especially if
it has been kept in a warm place. Elk
posure to the air also robs it of its yeasty
qualities. In making bread of dry yeast
it is necessary to allow some time
longer for it to rise than is necessary
with the moist preparation OF
hops, and the older it is-pro-
viding that it retains any fermenting
virtue at all-the longer it requires.
What is known as brewers yeast is
made of malt and hops, and is a most
excellent and reliable ferment. In
cities it is usually supplied daily by the
brewers to the grocers, who find q
ready sale for it with their housekeep.
ing customers. Still another yeast is
procurable in cities. which is even more
generally preferred. 1t is a paste Of
hops, or malt and hops made so stiff
that it can be cut with aknife into little
squares. These squares are each folded
in tin foil to keep them from the air,
but even with this protection will not
keep their yeastiness more than two
days. The makers of this yeast usually
bring it daily to the grocery stores.
Potato yeast is an especial favorite
with expert bread makers. This is
made simply by mixing the potatoes
with the hop tea before it is set to rise.
This yeast is excellent, but will keer
sweet a few days only. For this reason
most persons prefer to add the potatoes
which are used to increase the sweet
ness of the bread, to the sponge wher
it is first mixed.-Cor. Prairie Farmer
