Unjust confess to having had very
vague idea about the scorpion before
becoming acquainted with the troSxcs.
I think if I had been driven to it I
should have described him as creature
with wings, black, and somewhcreI
shout the size of humming- bird. This
description SIS can be imagined He
has no wings, he is not black. and he is
nowhere near the size of even half
grown humniing-bird. There is an
imaginary picture Of him in all the,
almanacs, but it doesn' t look very much
like him-that sign of the zodiac.
A ful1.growu scorpion is from two tol

length. 1t is at the end Of his tail thst
he carries his venomous sting, and
when he curls up his body into semil

THE reason the Shakers are decreas-

Evans, of the Mount Lebanon settle
ment, recently, sis that their best ener-
gies have been devoted to cultivating
their lands and advancing their materi-
al prosperity. Their lands have become
so extensive that all the time and labor
of the settlement are needed to care for
their possessions. This is the root of the
trouble. We have just discovered that
the idea of the desirability of the acqui-
sition of land which we took with us
from the world is wrong. Land mono
poly is one of the curses of the country.
We must dispose of part of our farms
and devote more time to missionary
work and spreading the principles
which we believe to be for the good of
the people. We have gone wrong and
must correct our error"

How TO Make Bretzels.

Good morning, Goetz." said young
man to Becker street baker who holds
secret, yesterday.
''Good morning. Then, after the
visitor had explained his object, the
baker resumed.
want to find out Something's about
bretzels, eli? Why, don yer look in
some books? don know ven, or where,
or how dey came to be made. Guess id
vas in Chermany, pefore der floodt."
Zell's, Chambers, and Johnson's die
tionaries and the American encyclope-
dias say nothing about bretzels The
infallibe Encyclopedia Britannica never
heard of the foreign stuff No German
American dictionary contains the word
''prctzel," ''bretzel." or "bretsel." The
Encyclopedia of Cookery knows moth
ing about such pastry. Worcester is
ignorant of the word. and Webster,
prince of photographers, tells all he
knows in one line:
Bretzel (seD, n. [Ger. A kind OF
hard. brittle cake.
The people want to know how they
are made, Mr.. GoetZ, said the visitor
"A bretzel is such curious piece of
shelled, twisted jawbreaker that they
want to know all about them"
1t had been quite task to find the
baker, whose shop is down an alley,
back of store, and is surrounded by
woodward. No sounds came from the
bakery, but through the dusty, flour
covered windows men were seen NOV
ing about, and Il bright light shone out
rs from an open furnace door. Herr
Goetz rested his broad shoulders against
q wood pile, Strengthened his arms out
along the pile and said;
Tell der people dot l make me one
dousand fife hundred brctzels efery day
dot uses up dree quarters of barrel
of flour; tell dem dot one man, if he is
quick, can roll unit twist about fife hun
dred of dem in one hour; dot der dough
is put drough der kneading machine
made NIT hop yeast, shust like bread.
Tell dem dot der sponge stands fife
hours by der tick of der watch. Go
open der door, unit see for yourself"
Tables trays, shelves, boards, and an
old cellar door were covered with I'M
baked bretzels. They were smooth and
as white us ivory. A small boy gather
ed them up on his fingers, like rings,
and dropped them, like doughnuts, into
II kettle full of strong, boiling lye. A
baker, in white overalls, white apron,
and cap, tished them with II perforated
ladle like II skinner for the white
dumplings in the lyc kettle. Another
baker, with II long-handled wooden
shovel, stood near with barrel of
coarse salt at his side. The steaming,
wet brctzels were laid in rows on the
shovel, were sprinkled with salt, and
then, by II deXterous twist of the wrist,
were landed on the brick floor at the
back end of dutch oven.
''Why do you steep them in I've, Mr.
Goetz?" asked the young man, return
ing to the wood pile.
You don't know dot, do you, Ell?

ONLY HALE ALIVE.

There are hosts of men and women, who to
coin phrase, are only half alive. That is to
say they have seldom if ever any appetite, are
nervous, weak, idgety and troubled by num-
berless small pains and aches, IN the presence
of vigorous, eXuberent vitality they seem
mere pigmies. Such persons are usually fond
of frequently dosing themselves, swallowing
in the course of year enough drugs to stock
any apothecary shop of average dimensions.
This of course defeats instead of furthering
the end in view viz, the recovery ofhealth and
vigor. Were they to seek it from an unfailing
source of vitality Hostetter Stomach Bitters
how different would be the case. Then vigor
would return to their debilitated frames, the
glow OF health to their wan cheeks, their
uncertain gait would grow firm and elastic,
apeptte that grandest of all sauces, would
give relish for the food, were it ever so
coarse, and refreshing sleep would crown the
tasks of the day.
