The Rationale of Bread Making.

The action of the heat in baking causes
certain changes to take place in the starch.
by which it is rendered soluble and to some
extent converted into another substance re-
sembling gum, and known as dextrine. The
outside of the loaf is altered to a greater ex-
tent, forming the crust. These changes have
the effect of rendeing the bread nutritious
and palatable; but to prevent its becoming
a heavy, solid mass Of dried dough it must
be "raised," or inflated with gas, SO as to
convert it into light, spongy substance which
can be easily masticated and digested. The
gas used for this purpose is always carbonic
dioxide, and the best method to develop it in
the mass of dough is to set up vinous or
alcohol fermentation by tho addition of
yeast This substance is most remarkable
living organism, which, when introduced
starch, which it changes into alcohol and
carbonic acid gas
Owing to the tenacious nature Of the dough,
the gas cannot escape, but as it expands,
renders it spongy and light. The heat Of the
baking oven still further expands the gas,
and completes the process, at the same time
killing the yeast, and preventing further
fermentation. If the fermentation continues
too long, it passes over into the acetic variety,
the alcohol is changed to vinegar, and the
bread "sours." The alcohol produced in the
process is nearly all dissipated in the baking;
butt is an appreciable quantity, and some
years ago a company was formed in England
to Introduce appliances for condensing and
saving it. The method was found impracti-
cable, but it created considerable excitement,
and one baker advertised to sell his bread
with all the gin in it"-American hitler.

Bounets and Pins.

The coming bonnet is a subject of feminine
interest, but the staying one appeals much
moro to mankind. If there is anything under
heaven a man loathes worse than getting up
early in the morning, or going to bed early
at night, it is to be walking with woman
who is never quite certain as to whether her
bonnet intends to remain on her head or to
take wings unto itself and settle in an ash
barrel. The chances are she objects to pins
in the first place, and the other chances are
that if she approves of bonnet pins she doesn't
know how to place them. You cannot wear
your hair low and pin your bonnet to itwith-
out that bonnet rising in rocking horse fash
ion and giving you distracted appearance,
and you need not rely on strings to keep your
bonnet on your head. If you wear your hair
low you have got to have small pad Of
false hair, which you lay right on top of
your head, fasten down securely, and when
your bonnet is put ON, stick your pins through
it; then, and then only, are you safe, and
then and then only is the man Of your heart
certain that your bonnet is the prettiest he
has ever seen, because, as he emphatically
puts it, cit stays on. "-Philadelphia Times.

A Base SANDER,

Have you ever taken particular notice of
the fact that nicely dressed lady, especially
as to headgear and neckwear, always seeks a
seat in a street car up IN one of the forward
cornersl Well, she almost invariably does
Maybe you viii wonder why, and 1t is only
right and proper that you should be in
formed On the subject. 1t is self evident
truth that lady loves to look at herself in
a mirror, especially If she is well dressed. 1t
is an even chance that the front platform of
u street car is occupied by two or more
smokers, who always lean back against the
front windows. This obstructs a view Of the
street, but the dark background Of the
smokers coat renders the window mirror like
SO that a person in the corner seat can see bis

why ladies with new hats or wraps like to get
up there. They can incidentally look at their

Women in Colleges.

Many of us can remember when women
had not a college of their own, and only
Oberlin opened her doors to equal and Co
education. And that opening raised tenn
pestuous opposition and war Of indignation
Now, says Kate Stevens women have more
than two hundred colleges where they can
matriculate and carry off honors; and there
are four thousand women in attendance.
Among these institutions are several state
universities besides Cornell and Howard and
Columbia and half dozen owned and occu-
pied by the women alone Meanwhile, women
as teachers are receiving, in place of mere
pittance, sum almost equivalent to that
paid to men.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.

In Woman,s Defense.


The replies in The North American Review
to the query, Is woman the more to blame
for unhappiness in marriagef" are made
quate. When man and woman are equally
mated as regards intelligence, why is it that
the woman is compelled to use tact, diplo-
macy, in order to manage the man? Why
should not the man make some ort to rem
der their life harmoniouss A woman's posi-
ton in the marital state is far more diff
cult one than the mans From the time
they are II years old the majority Of men
begin their experience in money matters; on
the other hand, young girls who have indul-
gent parents learn nothing in regard to
finance, and have almost as vague an idea of
dollars and cents as though they grew on
trees Then man Of IS, after eight years
experience In business, takes girl of 81 who
is utterly ignorant Of it, and presto! she is
supposed to bloom into an expert manager.
1t is never pleasant to ask a man for money,
and when it is given reluctantly it becomes
inexpressibly CALLING to girlof spirit. When
he wants anything he simply buys it, and, of
course, there is no one to say word.
4 girls position is no sinecure. If she is
intelligent, it seems almost beneath her to
descend to managing man, and yet the au-
thorities agree that this is the only way in
which her pathway in life can be made
smooth. That idea in itself is sufficient, as
one can plainly see. to I'LL a woman's breast
with the most profound awe and admiration
for these lords of creation.
The husband tires Of caresses and his wife's
expressed devotion. A man is always hap
pier in the pursuit of an object than when in
full possession; consequently, to make mar
riage q success, the wife should be suff-
GENTLY Indifferent, in order to give the hus-
band the incentive of still having something
to gain. Marriage will also be success
when the wife has no opinion but her hus-
bands, is submissive, meek, humble - in
short, nonentity.-A Subscriber in Chicago

Neat Things in Dishes.

For salads and entrees there are odd,
graceful designs in china Of the finest finish,
the wide, straight sides being seen in all the

Window Cleaning.

The cleaning of windows seems to be a
very easy matter, yet many housewives
would prefer to 90 any other part Of the
house cleaning than this. Never begin this
work until all tho paint is cleaned, but, moro
especially, that part about the windows. If
the window glass is done first, it is almost
impossible to wash the paint round it with
out smearing the glass.
I Never wash windows on a damp day, al
though a cloudy ono is not Objectionable for
the work A bright, clear, sunny day is the
best, choosing that part of it when the win
dows arc in the shade. Windows washed
while the sun is on them are sure TO be
streaky, no matter how well they may be
done, for the sun dries them quicker than
they can DO wiped, aud, consequently, the
water dries just as it is put on by the wash
cloth.
Always dust the windows thoroughly, both
inside and outside, before beginning TO wash
them. Use small, dry paint brushes to get
>ato crevices and corners when busting.
Wash the inside Of the window first, and it

doing the outside. Take as much clear water
as desired, but have it as warm as it can be
conveniently used. without parboiling the
hands, and add TO it enough hot household
ammonia TO soften it. With a soft cloth that
is free from lint wash each pane of glass
thoroughly, using q small pointed stick with
cloth on il to so into the corners Use old
cotton to wipe with, and dry each pane i'm
mediately after washing. Where the water
is quite hot, if the glass is not Wiped i'm

be rewashei ere wiping-
! Where the ammonia is not convenient use
clear water, and never, on any account, use
soap Of any kind If you want your glass 10

nice polish may be obtained by rubbing the
glass with tissue paper; but where ammonia
is used the lRtter gives q nice gloss without

How to Treat Babies.

Do not try to make the baby ''notice."
Do not try to make him forward"
Do not try to push him ahead Of your
neighbours baby.
But" you ask, "shall we let the baby
grow up dull and stupidF' By no means;
simply let him grow up naturally.
BLESSED is the mother" said lady thor
oughly experienced in domestic affairs
''blessed is the mother whose baby is a Junk
head" Stupid babies make wise men and
women. A baby is little more than a plant.
Let him vegetate in his infancy, and be con-
tent to wait for his intellects DEVELOPMENT
until later date.
Give babies chance to rest while they are
babies. They will probably never get a
chance afterward.
Baby, sleep little longer,
Till the little limbs are stronger,
If she sleeps a little longer,
Baby, too, shall fly away.

THE GOLD FIELDS.

How the PROJECTORS nre Rushing
In that Direction.
A gentleman recently returned from
the gold fields near Phoenix, Arizona,
called at the HERALD office yesterday
morning and furnished the following in
formation regarding the condition of
affairs:
The recent golddiscovery some seventy
or eighty miles southwest of Phoenix,
Arizona, has had the usual effect of at.
tracting miners and prospectors from all
points of the compass, although the
movement has not yet reached formida-
BILE proportions. 1t is dull time now in
many of the mining districts, and those
who follow prospecting for the precious
metals as their life business are irresisti-
bly, impelled to test the value of every
newly reported "fnd." There is sorry
lot of disappointed adventurers strung
along the line of the Southern Pacific
railroad in Maricopa county, having an
indistinct idea of the locality of the re-
ported rich gold placers but believing it to
be easy to reach from either one of sew
eral small railroad stations west of Mari
copa station, they purchased tickets. some
10 Gila Bend, some to Sentinel, and others
to as far west as Mohawk. Arrived at
those points, they not only to find it i'm
possible to purchase there the necessary
burros, food and mining implements that
constitute prospector's outfit, but also
to find themselves on the wrong side of
the Gila, the stream being swollen bank
full from recent rains, with no prospect
of speedy abatement. Others, better
posted as to the situation, are on the
ground and are industriously searching
the soil contiguous to the valuable claims
already taken up. A formidable obstacle
to the work is the lack Of water. But for
that, there would already be a lively
camp established there. The availability
of the large tract OF arabic land lying in
the Salt River and the Gila valleys,
in Maricopa county, has hitherto natu-
rally had the effect of turning attention
away from the mineral ranges, but it is
pretty generally believed that during the
present year there will be thorough
examination made of the ranges along
the Verde, Salt and Gila rivers, and it
may yet prove to be the richest gold dis
trict in Arizona.
