The interest in good bread is increasing
This is due to the instruction Of one or two
cooking school teachers who have made it a
point to lay stress on the subject Of bread
Perhaps they have done more real missionary
work than many who go to Africa to civilize
the negroes. Any one who supplies improved
food to the people is in the highest sense :
missionary. Who can exercise the virtues OF
civilization and Christianity with a stomach
full of undigested foods If ever man feels
like committing all the crimes in the deca,
logue it is when he has eaten undigestible
food. Our millers have done their part il
making possible good bread, and now a cred
liable part of the housekeepers of the country
are Weakening to the fact that the bread OF
our grandmothers is not all that it might be-
and that improvements in bread making are
not only possible but desirable When the
desirability of such improvement is thor
oughly appreciated the problem is solved. The
methods are ever before us.-The Milestone.

Electricity and Gas.

1t seems anomalous to say that the spread
of arc electric lighting results in an increase
in the amount of gas used, but so it has
proved. The principal reason is, | believe,
that tho more brilliant light without and
within public places causes a greater use of
gas in private houses to secure lessening of
the contrast People employed in electric
lighted places will scarcely be satisfied at
their homes with the same light as they are
now, perhaps, and will light two jets instead
of one Their eyes having become accus-
toned to the brilliancy, they cannot do with
the former single jet. Besides this, as gas is
superseded for lighting purposes, its use as
fuel is extended Incandescent lighting,
though, if general, would be hard on gas
companies.-S Louis Globe Democrat.

A Kitchen Convenience.

Not every kitchen can be supplied with all
modern improvements, and not every house
keeper has the means to possess them; but
every one can procure this, and it will pay
its cost in short time. Almost all sinks are
too small for comfort, ana their proportions
can be increased by placing at one end a
board of the width of the sink and two and q
half feet in length, letting it rest upon the
sink Then have a rim of board, four inches
in height screwed upon three sides. Raise

Green nonda swindIs.


READING, Sept. 25.-An aggravated
green goods" case has Just come to light
here, whereby q farmer named Horn.
berger was swindled out OF $500. He re-
sides near Mohnsvllle and some time ago
he came into possession of q type-written
circular, dated New York, and contain
Ing a strictly confidential proposition to
furnish any amount Of beautifully exc
cuted greenbacks that could not be dis
unguished from the genuine, at the pr ce
OF 500 for 81 800. HE showed II TO his
wife, and, after various consultations,
they thought the scheme was good one
and agreed to purchase "a, 500, and with
the proceeds furnish new house which
they had just completed.
As Mr.. Hornberger had never been IN
New York he engaged q halter OF this
city to accompany him, and drawing the
regulate amount OF money out Of bank
they started for the metropolis. They
called at the address indicated In the cir
culsr, where they were shown piles OF
beautiful greenbacks that looked as good
as any they had ever seen, and the $500
was duly invested.
They were told by the seller of the
goods that it would not be prudent to
carry 1t with them, and that It would be
beat to send 1t by express. In order to
insure good faith he was allowed to pack
the money himself In q box furnished by
tho dealer. When 1t was packed aud
directed the buyer took It to the express
ofilce and despatched 1t to bis address.
He was told BY the seller that his sfest
plan would be 10 conceal the box for
few days after its arrival.
Accordingly when he came home he
buried 1t in his barnyard for few days.
When he finally opened the box he found
OF course that It contained n few blocks
Of wood and some clay. He was disap-
pointed aud angry and wanted to compel
the halter who accompanied him to bear
half the loss. The latter demurred to
this and told the story to his nelghbors
