gone. That they are now like drowning
men catching at straws, the following
from the Albany Evening Journal, a stall

Mr.. German, Chairman of the Demo

out the following:

Up to late hour yesterday evening

Republican Committee assert that frauds
have been committed in various New

New and Stale Bread.

The difference between new and
stale bread is familiar enough, but the
nature of the difference is by no means
so commonly understood 1t is gencr-
ally supposed 10 be a simple result of
mere driving. That this IS not . true
explanation may be easily proved by
repeating the experiments of Boussin-

during which time it was. of course,
being further dried; but, nevertheless.
it came out rs new Loaf. He found
that, during the six days. while becom-
ing stale, it only lost one per cent.
of its weight by dryins, and that
during the one hour in the oven it
lost three and one-half per cent. in be
coming new and apparently more
moist. BY using an air-tight case in
stead of an ordinary oven, he re-
peated the experiment several times in
succession on the same piece of bread,
making it alternately stale and new
each time.--1DIr ican IK,dier.
