How Passover Bread Is Made.

In the preparation of the Jewish
passover bread, the kneading is done
in the ordinary way. Pure gunpow-
der water is the only component add
cd. The time for the dough to be
baked is reduced to the minimum. 1t
is broken into flat cakes, and then run
between rollers into very thin sheets.
Over these workmen roll pronged
steel to perforate the dough, SO that
air holes may be seen i'll baked cakes.
A steel hoop cuts the dough into
round, fiat sheets, which are then
ready for the oven. The baker then
stands with a paddle attached to a
very long handle. With the aid of a
boy he thrusts the cakes into the brick
compartment, and in half a minute
pulls them out ready for use. A mat
zath cake is round, about four feet in
diameter, somewhat Drowned, and
having slight air hole projections on
its surface. They have a rather pleas
ant taste, not unlike that of crackers,
and make good substitute for bread.
In some places there is demand
throughout the entire year for the UNI
leavened cakes by dyspeptics. About
eight cakes weigh pound which in
large quantities sell at eight cents
The cakes are very brittle, and their
pieces are ground up into fine meal.
This is the substitute for wheat flour
in the household during the passover.

Salt for Moths.

For moths salt is the best extermi-
1ator. The nuns in one Of the hos
pital converts have tried everything
else without success, and their expert
ence is valuable, as they have so much
clothing of the sick who 60 there, and
strangers, when dying there, often
leave quantities of clothing, etc. They
had a room full of feathers, which
were sent there for pillow making, and
they were in despair, as they could
not eXterniinate the moths, until they
we're advised to try common salt.
They sprinkled it around, and in a
week or ten days they were altogether
rid of the moths. They are never
troubled now. In heavy velvet car
pets sweeping them with salt cleans
and keeps them from moths, as par
ticles of the salt remain. in the carpets
and corners. Salt is not hurtful to
any one. and has no bad smell. Here
is little hint l add, which, perhaps,
every one does not know: FOR clean
ing wash basins, bath, ETC., use the
same thing, common dry salt. Rub a
little of the salt with your fingers on
the basin. Often sort of scum is no.
ticed in the basins in a marble wash
stand in the bathroom; the salt takes
it off easily, and leaves the basin shin
ing and clean. -Philadelphia Press.

Chinese Taxation.

The system of taxation is quite un-
like that of other countries. Taxes
outside of Picking are paid on arabic
land only, the tax varying with the
crop producing quality of the soil. In
side the city of PelSing there is no tax
on land, houses or personal property.
Goods brought to the city gate pay q
lekin tax, but are exempt from taxa
ton afterward The only tax on land
and houses in Peking is on the sale of
real estate, 10 per cent. being charged
on the price obtained for the property
sold. There is also a tax resembling IL
cense fee. Outside Of Picking. Chinese
subjects are liable to be called on to per-
form certain duties whenever the EN-.
perOr passes through their districts,
but this duty may be avoided by the
payment of small tax. All money
spent on public account in Picking
comes from the imperial treasury,
and the expenditure is not limited to
funds raised by taxation within the
city. The bulk of the people in Pc
king pay no taxes whatever. The
man who owns his house and lot and
implements of labor enjoys his earn
ings without tax or deduction.-Bank-
er's Magazine.

Kissing the PLAY.

| must own that I think it is very
often q slightly irrational feeling
that prompts an audience to hiss, a
survival of that frame of mind which
induces certain islanders to go out
every evening and howl and hurl
their darts at the sun simply because
pher says there is something to him
ludicrously inconsequent and comical
III the whole method whereby we set
about securing new plays. And to
hiss a man who has spent perhaps
some five or six months in the stupen-
dous task of trying to please 9. 900 peo-
pie, each of them with different tastes,
notions, ideals, prejudices, whims,
standards, simply because he has fail
ed to satisfy them all at all points,
seems a little uncharitable and dis
courteous, as well as illogical. Be-
sides, Kissing in many cases defeats
the end for which the audience has
come-that is, if that end is the con-
sideration of the play and not the
bunting of it down. What would be
the result if the next exhibition of the
Royal Academy should be opened 81
simultaneously to public and critics,
and every member of the public who
had paid his shilling should be per-
mitted, without giving any reasons,
to stick his umbrella into any part of
any picture that he he did not like,
while at the end of the view it should
be de rigueur for the whole body of
the academicians and exhibitors to
run the gauntlet between two rows of
the public ranged on each side from
the top of the academy steps to Picca-
dilly, the public being entitled for
:heir shilling to express their approba-
ton or disapprobation in any method
short of personal violencel What
would be the result2-Nineteenth
Century.

sunrstes and sheites.

There are among the Moslems two
great divisions, the Sunnites and the
Sheites. The Turks are all Sunnites,
the Persians all Sheites They differ
in that the latter regard Ali, the me-
phew and son-in-law of Mohammed,
with greater love than they do Mo.
manned himself. Ali married Fatima,
Mohammed's daughter, and by her
had two sons, Hassan and Husein. Ii
is said that Mohammed predicted their
death; and indeed one day Ali and his
two sons, and a large number of
friends and attendants, were massa-
cred. The Sheites declare that Mo-
manned encompassed their death,
and to this day the two sects hate each
other even moro than they do the
Christians,
The anniversary of this fatal day is
celebrated religiously every year
among the Sheites. They gather in
groups around certain man, who,
seated in their midst on some elevated
spot, begins the recital in a monotone
of the tragedy. Gradually he warns
up, he becomes excited, he throws up
his hands, he even sobs with anguish
as he proceeds and graphically de-
scribes the misfortunes of the i'll fated
Ali and his two sons. And his audi
ence, with dOwncast eyes reverently
shaded with their hands, follow with
all absorbing interest his words. Pres
emily they begin to sob, and finally to
cry aloud with anguish and beat their
heads and breasts and tear their hair.
The reciter swaps his audience with
thronging words of passion, with soft
whispers of entreaty, with broken
calculations of agony.
Then suddenly his mood changes.
What has passed has been confession
Of their sin and confession of the
Justice of any punishment that might
TALL on them. For the Sheites were
originally Sunnites and approved of
the death of Ali, and it was only later
that they became Sheites and seeded
from the Sunnites, and by this cere-
r;ony they lament over and expiate
the sins of their forefathers. And now
succeeds earnest prayer with appraised
hands to God to receive Ali and his
two sons into favor and to pardon
them in his mercy. Then, when this
is finished, narghilehs or hubble bub-
bles are.handed round, and the whole
company enjoy quiet smoke to calm
their excited feelings. In some places
knives are made use of and fearful
wounds self inflicted, and in some
cases death has res2lted.

Another New Vegetable.

Another new vegetable has been in
troduced into France by M. Pailleux,
the interchangeable collector of new ali
nlcntary plants. The plant has been
received through the aid of M. Bouley,
head gardener to the maharajah Of
Cashmere. 1t is called the Congalou.
This vegetable is sort of turnip
with tho form of radish, and with
the skin of an attractive bright red
color. The flavor is nearly that of the
ordinary turnip, but very much
stronger, the consistency OF the root
is such that it does not soften in cook
ing. Ii appears that in the Himalayan
regions the Congalou is eaten as o
salad, sliced in very thin rounds and
highly seaSoned.-Vick's Magazine.

Fate Of the French Republic.

in which America has so much in
terest and sympathy, does not now,
in The least, hang upon one man.
1t is true the ex-general Of no very
brilliant war record, has a party;
but he does lead that party by the
nose, nor carry it in his very pocket.
Boulanger's party has in it some
OF the brainest men of France.
They are patriotic, and haYe sagaci-
ty enough to see that no govern
ment but q Republic can, succeed in
France. Bourbon and Bonapart
alike are visions of the past; they
are too far away in Kinship to
awake any enthusiasm. @~@ !

reconcilably split on the question as
to who is the lawful heir to that
crown that was ON st. Louis head
when the guillotine severed that
royal head from the body. Since
that fatal gliding of the gulllotine's
sharp Ak, Bourbonism has been an
impossibihty unless the Holy ALI
ance Of all the nations Of Europe
shall prop the crown with the over
mastering force Of bayonets and well
served artillery. This they have
hitherto refused to do.
The fame and glory Of the Cor
sican Lieutenant is confined to the
tomb under the great dome of the
Hotel Of the Invalids. II subseryed

whose Kinship to him, Is purely
mythical. No one being forty-ninth

descended from remote ancestor, and
destitute Of any intellectual ability,
can have much Observation-Disclosures
with the educated and thinking peo-
pie Of France; while the masses are
too evenly divided into great parties
to be fused at once into one great
party.
Much allowance must be given to
ardent and incorporate utterances
in party campaigns and Buncombe
speeches in Legislative halls. ReYis-
ion Of the Constitution Of France
does not at all mean a restoration
Of Bourbon royalty or the Napoleo-
mic empire, any more than Boulaa-
gers elevation would mean Caesar
ism. The cry Of Caesarisrn is main
ly campaign .utterance and will
die away, now that Boulanger is
elected. @ ~
The joinder Of certain events at

OF course, what we have saidmust

And shuns the daylght's ruthless glare.
