by any chance the bread is light enough
to bake before your oven is ready and
thus in danger of getting too porous,
work it down thoroughly with your
hand and let it rise again.
A small loaf. and by all means make
them small until you have gained ex-
perience, will not take more than three
quarters of an hour TO bake, if your
oven is good one. When of nice
yellow brown take it out, turn il out of
the tin on to IA cloth or sieve, tap tho
bottom, if that is brown and crisp and
smells cooked it need remain no longer.
If from fault of your oven it be not
brown, but whitish and soft, set it back
in the oven, bottom upwards. An
oven, however, that does not bake well
at the bottom will be likely to spoil
your bread. This is usually caused by
careless servant leaving collection
of ashes underneath il. Satisfy yourself
that all the flues are clean before begin
ming TO bake; if then it refuses to do its
duty, have it examined by blacksmith
or change il, for you cannot cook any
thing properly in bad range, of which,
however, there are very few if rightly
managed.
i think you will find the bread you
have made. white, evenly porous mot
with small holes here and caverns
there; if this is the case you have made
your dough too stiff and it is not sufii-
ciently kneaded), and with thin. crisp
crust. - Catherine Ol0e1a, IN Good House

The Evolution OF Nations.

The doctrine of evolution recognizes
the fact that the development of social
and physical organisms is not an un-
broken march of progress. Advance
ment alternates with pauses, as day with
night, or life with death; the phenomena
of progressive life roll through the cycles
of termination, maturity, and decay.
In the household of Nature every grave
is candle; the mold of every fallen
tree furthers the growth of new trees.
Grecian colonies flourished on the ruins
of Troy, Persian provinces on the ruins
of Babylon, Macedonian kingdoms on
the grave of the Persian Empire; Roman
DICTIONARIES inherited the wealth and the
culture of conquered Greece. The con-
querors of Rome were the noblest, stout
est, and manifest races of the Caucasian
world; freemen, in love with health and
Nature, yet withal with poetry, glory,
honor, Justice, and honest thrift. They
planted their banners in the garden
lands of the West; and their empires,
gilt by the morning light of new era.

than those of the Arabian satrapies in

iishment of their political independence,
the civilization of the Greeks, the
Romans, and the Arabs, had developed
its fairest flowers-industry, commercial
activity, art, liberal education, flourish
ing schools of philosophy, poetry, and
natural science. Five hundred years
after the triumph of the Gothic conquer
ors we find their empires groaning
under concentration of all scourges.
The day-star of civilization had set in
utter night; the proud nations of the
West had sunk in poverty, bigotry,
general ignorance, cruel abasement of
the lower classes, squalid misery of
domestic life, systematic suppression of
political, personal, and intellectual
hberty.-Dr. Felir i. OSWALD, IN Pop1-

DETROIT newspapers complain bitterly of
and, we judge, with good reason. There is
no doubt but the present system is liable to
many abuses at the hands of incompetent or
dishonest inspectors. The matter should be
brought before the next legislature and some
system devised that will correct the evil
Purity of the ballot should be maintained at
all hazards, and this cannot be assured when
the inspectors are dishonest or drunk
or incompetent for any reason. There is one
thing that might be done which would 90 a
long way towards curing this evil, and that
is the enactment of law forbidding the
holding of an election in or adjacent TO q
place where intoxicating liquor is sold
There is law prohibiting the holding of
courts in whiskey shop, and an election is
surely amore important matter than petty
justice court. Looking over the polling
places in Detroit, one will find that it is no
uncommon thing TO find them located in
saloon. OF course, the law forbid5 the sale
of liquor on that day, but it Is @ notorious
fact that the liquor laws are not always well
enforced in the metropolis OF Michigan 1t
is disgrace that any American citizen
should be compelled to enter a dive in order
TO exercise his right of franchise BY all
means, let the legislature put q stop to such
state of affairs.

of about 5000 for O'DoNNELL. Quite diff

The morning after election, the Detroit
Free Press contained the following an
nouncements: YAPLE is elected by plural
ity of 5000 to 1000" I'VE also get a working
majority of the state legislature" "The
gains which have been made throughout the
state at this hour @ a. m.) indicate that the
union ticket has triumphed and that the
gallant boy from Mendon will be the next
governor of Michigan" The Free Press
knew at the time it made these statements
just as well as it knows to-day, that they
were unqualifedly false. There was not an
other newspaper in the country that made
any such ridiculous and baseless claims
Even the members of its own party, who
were anxious TO grasp at anything that
would afford them a crumb of comfort re-
cognized the foolishness of the statements
and ridiculed their organ for making them
Even as late as the second day after election
while it grudgingly conceded that g LUCE has
undoubtedly carried the state by small plu-
rality," it still claimed that there is a posi-
bility that some portion of the fusion state
ticket has been elected" Such journalism is
simply burlesque.

AT the present time, it is certain that the
republicans have secured a good working
majority in the next legislature of this state,
but it is doubtful if they have the necessary
two-thirds required for the submission of a
constitutional amendment TO vote of the
people But, be that as it may, it will be
the plain and obvious duty of the republican
members of that body to use every effort to
secure the submission of a prohibitory
amendment. This should be done, not only
as measure of party policy, and not only
because the party is pledged by its platform
and by the promises of its leaders so to do,
bat because it is right and just. A large
number of the citizens of the state-whether
a majority or not can only be ascertained by
trial-desire such submission, and they
have right to demand and do demand the
privilege of settling this great question by
their votes. The NoRTHERNER hopes to see
the republican party prove true to its pledges
in this matter. If submission is defeated,
let it be defeated, as it has been in the past,
by other than republican votes.

by the fusionists. SHERWOOD could tell about

IT is true that the election is no demo

Free Press. Well, we should rather think
not. Then it goes on to say, "but neither is

gained any material advantage over its previ-
GUS position" Most people will be apt TO
think it curious kind of "drawn battle.
