Bread Materials.

There was a dearth Of wheat in Eng
land in 1929, 1880 and 1893, and In
those years bread was made of turnips.
They were boiled until they we're soft
enough to mash. when the greater part
of the water was pressed out Of them.
An equal weight of wheat meal was
then mixed with the pulp and the
dough was made In the usual manner
with Yeast. The dough rose well in
the trough and after being kneaded
was formed into loayes and put in the
oven. Bread prepared in this manner
has peculiar sweetish taste which is
said to be not disagreeable; it is as
light and white as wheaton bread. and
should be kept about twelve hours be-
fore being cut, when the smell and
taste of the turnip will scarcely be per-
ceptible.
Potato bread is another kind, and
there are several processes OF making
it. The simplest is to choose the large
mealy sort, boil them as for eatlng,
then peel and mash them very nne:
without adding water. Two parts OF
wheat -four are added to one OF pota-
toes. and little more yeast than usual.
The whole mass is kneaded into dough
and allowed to stand a proper time to
rise and ferment before it is put into
the oven. Bread so prepared is said
to be good and wholesome. Erasmus
Darwin advised tho grating of raw po-
tatoes into cold water, where the
starch would subside. The starch from
eight pounds of potatoes, mixed with
eight pounds of boiled potatoes. he as
serted, would make as good bread as
the best wheaton flour.
DR.. Darwin even went so far as to
say that hay that has been kept In
stacks so as to undergo the saccharine
process, may be SO managed by grind
ing and fermentation with yeast, like
bread, as to serve in part for the sus-
tenance of mankind in times Of search
To make rice bread, boil three parts
of wheat hour and one part OF rice,
separately. Boil the rice well, squeeze
out the water and mix the mass with
the wheat. The process is then the
same as for common wheat bread. A
pound and half of -four mixed with
halt a pound of rice will produce a
loaf weighing from three pounds to
three pounds two ounces, which is a
greater gain than is got from wheat
aour alone. Rice has also been tried
in the same proportion with barley,
and this makes good bread for labor
ing people. Bread may also be made
from buckwheat and the seeds and
roots of several scores of plants Good
housekeeping.

CHRISTMAS CHEER.

station also. She was an apple-woman
rather prosperous than otherwise
but she had one grief. Her boy" a
great, hulking creature in whom she al
ways saw his baby prettiness, had gone
to the bad, and tonight she had placed
her stand in charge of a neighbor, and
gone about from one low drinking-place
to another to find him.
So far her search had been in vain,
and she wandered into the station to
think matters over, under shelter, and
make up her mind where to go next.
While papa was talking to a hackman
Laura caught sight of Mother Mac as
she walked along the platform, think
ing, thinking, her poor old face screwed
into the wrinkles of anxiety. Laura
dropped her mothers hand, and ran up
to the old woman so fast that she
actually fell into the folds OF Mother
Macs plaid shawl.
81 wish you a Merry Christmas,
ma'am,' she cried, in her shrill, sweet
voice. And here's present-and here's
another
The presents were-two cookies in a
crumpled bag and bright new penny!
Mother Mac took them both, and as she
looked at the little velvet-clad figure,
the golden curls and shining eyes, she
laughed and cried together.
BLESS the baby" said she.
But Laura, timid as little mouse,
now that her outburst of Christmas
cheer was over, had scampered back to
mamma, and in a moment more She was
in the carriage, rolling away toward
grandma's.
Now, Mother Mac didn't find her boy
one bit sooner that Christmas Eve be-
cause little child had pitied her, but,
nevertheless, she was conscious of
sweet warmth and glow at her heavy
heart. A tiny thread of gold had been
woven in her darkly-colored life, never
to be tarnished or lost.-Youth's Com

Are you going to make your visit
later?" asked mother, anxiously.

smile at the dear faces. 1--WE made my

ter, with great energy.
Emily went into tho kitchen with Q
big apron on, enlisting the whole force
of delighted boys and girls as assistants.
while mother was settled down for .
quiet chat with Aunt Helen. No face
shonc more brightly than Hcster's, az
the old walls rang with the merry laugh
ter and song in which she took such de-
light. Not one of the dainties was lack-
ing as dinner-time approached.
And then Emily took upon herself to
exercise great deal of petty tyranny in
peremptorily excluding every body but
herself and Hester from the dining
room until dinner was announced.
When that exciting moment at length
arrived the two littlo girls, who had
been spirited away short time before,
walked in last of all, radiant in new
dresses of soft brown wool with MKT
ures of gay plaid.
That's my traveling-dress," said
Emily, pointing to them. "It has ar
rived at the end of it's journey. 1t was
the only thing on the bill at Wickham's,
and the dresses would have been bought
anyway, so no harm was done"
There was parcel on each plate.
"Dcar Uncle Robert has made Christ
mas for all of u.s." said Emily. "You
will find his twenty dollars inside these
papers. He said those little instru-
ments were just what you wanted,
Caleb-it was very handy having him to
tell me. You'll find the books just
right, too. And took upon myself to

later, following Emily to tho sitting

to form:

to spend the day and Hester wass deter
mined to do her best and not ''let on"
that she had depended upon Emily for
the little niceties which only Emily
could make and which would surely be
missed at the dinnertable.
The boys and the little girls brought

was much complaining over it, for "no
one could do it like Emily" sighed
little Bess.

still bare of snow, at an hour much
earlier than had been expected.

exclaimed Hester, in dismay.
''And there's some one else in the

''Some one with such a big vail all

The wagon drew up at the door and
the vailed individual rushed in and
with a merry laugh flung her arms
around her mothers neck.

There was such a cry OF welcoming
Joy that Hester came running in to see
and her voice was added to the chorus.

A REFLECTION
There's Christmas in the atmosphere
You can feel it in the tingle.
There's Christmas in the sleighbells-
You can hearit in the jingle.
The spirit Is infectious,
1t enlivens young and old,
And sets the heart aglow despite
The winters piercing cold.
There's Christmas in each honest face
That passes brightly smiling;
There's Christmas in the snow-drifts
On the curbstone swiftly piling
You'll find it-Merry Christmas
No matter where you look,
Except alas where needed most
Inside the pocket book.

HER PRESENTS.

Laura Cheers the sad. SorrowinG Heart
of Mother Mac.
1t was Christmas Eve, and Laura
Poole, happy and sleepy, was trotting
along through the railroad station with
her father and mother. They had come
to the city to spend Christmas, and
Laura felt as if she were walking straight
into fairy-land; in all her seven years
she had only visited the city once, just
enough to be able to dream about it's
wonders.
Old Mother Mac, as she was known
among her acquaintance, was in the
