WHOLESOME BREAD.

A Simple Receipt Which Is Certainly
Worth Trial.
It is strange that so many people
should know so little about the prepara-
ton of really good food. 1t is useless to
point out few shining examples here
and there-go east or west or north or
south and good bread, for instance. is
almost unknown. And coffee. who has
not shuddered time and again at the
decoction served under that name2 |

told to save my life whether l was
drinking coffee or tea, or both, or some
thing else. But to return to bread. To
be really good. it should be white,
spongy and tough. with 4 dark red
crust that melts in the mouth with an
indescribable sweetness. and leaves but
one wish in the heart-mOre bread. To
make it. but two things are necessary:
good flour and good hop yeast No
one can afford to use poor flour, for it
absorbs SO much water that it viii not

grade. The next requisite Is home
made yeast. The dry kinds in mar
ket are seldom fresh. and yeast
is SO easily made and so easily
kept that it is poor policy to buy if.
The following receipt | know to be
good: Four potatoes, two handfuls of
hops, one tablespoonful of ginger. two
of salt half cup sugar and one half cup
of good fresh yeast Boil the potatoes
and hops together. and scald half cup

OSTRICH FEATHERS.
How the Health OF the Bird Affects Its
Valuable Plumes.

Valuable Piumes.
Ostrich chicken feathers are useless
until they are year old; they are rare
" cut before. At twelve months thew
are cut off The stumps dry. and after
a few weeks the bird sheds them, or
they can be drawn outwithout pain and
with ease. The feathers then take six
months to grow before they can again
be cut. Three pluckings are obtaina-
bic in two years time. The process of
plucking continues for many years, but
it requires the greatest care to prevent
the feathers deteriorating. The feath-
ers from the wild bird are the longest
and finest, but rarely more than three
on one bird are sufficiently perfect to
render them fit for commerce. Hence
tn necessity of the farm. a male bird
turns black at about the age of eighteen
months. The black and black-and-
white feathers are pulled from different
parts of the body: the white feathers
come from one row only in the wing;
tail feathers are never as white as those
in the wing, and are usually bleached
for tips SO little is known about
surprised to find how the health of the
bird affects its feathers. In many of
the best feathers is what appears to be
line running across The feather. This,
NAV be, is not caused by the
packing-string being too tightly
tied, but bv a days illness. So
delicate are the feathers and so init
matelv and so wonderfully connected
with the organization of the bird that

no fear and is most formidable and

answers to cock-crowing. is deep bel

miles. and is called .'hromm;ng. The
depression in ostrich farming has been
caused by an overstocked market.

He Was still Dead.
MINNEAPOLIS Journal. [

A good story is told of one of our local
politicians who was canvassing for the
nomination for a county office. One after
noon he attended a meeting in an out
township, and meeting an intelligent
young man whom he thought might have
some influence. walked up to him and
shook him warmly by the hand. inquir-
ing: How is your father" The V. m.
answered.: 'My father has been dead
three years" Indeed" replied the can
dida,e, Il had not heard OF it. 1 knew
him intimately. He was one of my best
friends, and l regret to hear it. He was
one of the best and purest men 1 ever
knew. You have my sympathy" etc.
The same evening he met the same person
in a village near by. and having forgotten
his face, aceosted him the second time
with the interrogatorv: "How is your
father" The young man looked at him
for a moment and said: HE is still
dead" and walked off.

OLD SCHOOL BOOKS.

What Becomes of Them and How They
Form the BASIS for Paying Business.
"'What becomes of all the second
hand school books?" was asked of Dan
iel Van Wrinkle, the veteran dealer, by &
reporter yesterday.

wondering" he replied. The general
public have the idea that they 60 where

or other and no one knows where to
You may be surprised to learn it, bu,
there is large and increasing trade
done in secondhand school books alone
so much so that we have now regular
school-book exchange. You see, boards
of school trustees are all the time chang
ing the books their pupils study, unless
not allowed TO do so by law, which is
the case in some States, and in former
time, when they made a change. they
either sold the discarded books for old
paper or burned them. But now they
are more economical They hunt up
the school-bank exchange and are al
lowed to trade their discarded books for
those they want, of course paying some
thing for doing so. Why. through

is based on the principle that the child

THE CATTLE PEST.
Inoculation as a Reliable Preventive of
PIeuro-Pneumonia.

Pleuro-Pneumonia.
For the past three years Pennsylvania
has been the only one of the States in
iected by this disease which, from time
to time, could be pronounced free from
it. and which could trace all outbreaks
to infection from other States. Much
of this success is due to the plan pur-
sued, AMI this is practically aeknowl-
edged by the fact that the special agent
of the Governor was recently summoned
to Washington for consultation with
the National authorities as to course
to be adopted by all States in general
attempt to get rid of the disease
As soon as the herd is taken posses
sion of by the State officers all diseased
animals are killed and the others inocu-
lated. A portion of the virus from the
lung of diseased animal is inserted
under the skin. near the end of the tail,
and in the course of from eight to ten
days the peculiar SYMPTOMS are, to q
very limited extent, exhibited Great
care is necessary in the selection of the
virus for incubation. If the disease in
the lung from which it is taken is too
far advanced there is danger of blood
poisoning. If not far enough advanced
it will fail to take effect Thus far it has
been found to be an ample protection.
In performing the operation the hair
is first removed from a point near the
end of the tail, and with needle made
for the purpose seton of woolen yarn
saturated with the virus is drawn under
the skin and left there: in about one
week more or less inhamma-
-. NJ ia no.
the portion of the tail below the inocu-
Iation drops off; after having reached
certain point all symptoms sHbside anC
the animal is found to possess an inn
munity from the disease ia exactly the
same manner as exists in an animal
which has had light attack in the
natural way and has recovered In three
years experience no inoculated animal
although purposely exposed in some
cases to infection. has been known &c
have the disease in any shape or form.
1t is claimed that this incubation gives
immunity for considerable length OF
time, but how long it may be depended
upon the State officers are not pre-
pared to say.
1t is claimed in this way many ami
mails have been freed from all danger,
and that the saving to owners has
amounted to several thousand dollars.
In all cases it has saved much expense to
the State. After little experience the
operator. assisted by a movie can moe
ufate forty animals per hour: and in
Europe, where it is praetieed, it is COM
mon to charge five cents per head for
the operation. the only skill required
beng in the selection of the virus from
the diseased lung. 1t IS possible to cul-
tiYate this virus. and by repeated cult
walton to reduce its power; but after
careful experiments it is not found to
be necessary, and the matter direct
from the diseased lung IS used.
The plan has been adopted by the
States of New York, Maryland, New
Jersey and Delaware. and is found to
be as successful there as here.-Harriss

LONDON, Eng, aug q, 1880.
In the chancery division of the high court
of justice, London, Vice Chancellor Bacon
has given mis- decision in favor of The
Charles A. Vogeier Company of Baltimore
Maryland, in the action brought by that
house against I'll. Churchill and Company
of Brisbane Queensland. The case which
has been in progress here since September.
1854, grew out of an attempt of Churchill
and Company TO register trade mark con-
tanning the words St. Patrick Oil in con-
nection with a medicinal preparation.
This was promptly opposed by the Vogeler
Company. who, while admitting that the
term and device which were sought to be
registered by the Australian firm were in
no respect identical co the we'll known St.
Jacobs Oil trade marks contendei, how
ever. that sufficient similarity existed be-
tween the term St Patricks applied by
Churchill and Company and ST Jacobs as
used by the Vogeler Company to cause con-
fusion in the minds of the public and<lead
to purchasers being deceived In support
of this position they submitted an over
whelming amount of evidence from En-
glish, American and Australian sources
with the result stated Under the decision
of the court Churchill and Company can
not register their mark and must pay costs

THRAsH,nG a WASHER.
How One Member of the Dude Fraternity
Received His just Deserts.
IN. 7. Cor. Boston Heraid-1

IN Y Cor. Boston Herald
The New York masher is growing more
numerous, more insulting and more gem
orally inexcusable than ever he was be-
fore. ] have been in a good many cities
of the 'Eerid during my somewhat scat
! tered career, and I have seen the masher
in ever cline and every shape, from the
haughtv young buck of the Red Cloud In
dian agency to the dardied little chap
who parades the bouleyards OF Paris in
tight clothes and high-healed patent
leather pumps. But Of all of them the
meanest, the most despicable and the low
est clown is the one who saunters up and
down Broadway. His name is legion. and
his occupation runs from a professional
dude to a goodman. He is not sat
isfied with staring insolently at every
woman he meets, but he must talk
to her as well. Sometimes he viii follow
her for blocks. now passing by, now drop
ping back. and all the time pressing his at
tention forward most impertinently. One
of these precious objects is just now keep
ing himself very scarce, and he will prob
ably be wise enough to &c on in that pur-
suit for some time to come. The other
afternoon be started in to follow very
attractive girl, who is the wife of q news
paper writer know. The fellow actually
had the impertinence to keep close behind
his intended victim clear up to the door of
her husbands office. When she came out
she met him, ana he spoke to her She was
angry, and she wanted revenge So she
led him right through the outer Office and
into the inner room, where her husband
was debating to his stenographer.
"This," she said, sis masher. He has
been tagging me about for an hour"
The newspaper man jumped for the
stranger, who ran for dear life. On the
stairs there was tussle, a sound like the
smashing of a human jaw, a howl, and
the hasty retreat of Mr.. Washer, who fed
down the street at the top Of his speed.
The husband went back to the Office, got
his coat and stick. and started out to scour
the town for the masher. To-day he
found his man and fetched him a crack
across the nose which, in all probability.
broke that useful member. The masher
begged for mercy, and the angry journal
list said to him: Every time l see you,
no matter where it is, / am going
to lick you within an inch of your
life" Then he administered to the
masher a kick where it would do
the most good, and sent him scuttling
down the street co 7ered with blood and
half frantic with pain fore and aft. It
seems TO me that ladies ought to profit by
t.is example. 1t is partly their own fault
that they are so often insulted. Not that
they court such things. but they do so dis
like being mixed up n any sort of row
that creatures who are guilty of such con-
due. almost invariably get off scot-free,
and are encouraged to try it again. There
is no husband or brother in the land who
would not heartily enjoy all chances of
thrashing one OF these fellows every time
he could get chance. And if the chances
came oitener there would be good deal
less inconvenience ~ ladies.
