EDWARD ATKINSON has discovered
that the long process and hard work of
kneading bread are unnecessary. He
mixes his material with big spoon,
and says with slow oven, or a bread
raiser, time will do all that can be &C
complished by the kneading method.
MANY parents are apt to consider
their daughters worth their weight in
gold, but Scotch gentleman estimated
his two daughters value at even a
higher rate than this, bequeathing to
each her weight in e1 notes. The elder
seems to have been simmer than her
sister, for she got only 951, 200, while
the younger received 957, 344.
The man who objects to forty-four
stars on the flag, because the blue field
will be overcrowded, and wants to go
back to thirteen, is not likely to find
his motion seconded. Thirteen stripes
are all right. but every State is entitled
to its star aud will have it, even if the
number ultimately rises to fifty-or
know the reason.
MISS ELIZA PINsoN, who died at her
home near Atlanta, Ca, the other day,
had a black beard fifteen inches long,
but steadily refused all offers to place
herself on exhibition. Poulticing her
face for toothache when young girl is
believed to have been the cause of the
abnormal growth of beard. There's a
valuable hint in this for the hairless
American dude.
This little story is from New Or

seven years old, died suddenly at Nor
gan City and her pet pigeon flew into
the room where the corpse lay surround

The deep grief of the mourners so i'm
pressed the bird that it dropped its
head and died. It was placed in the
coffin and buried the next day with it's
little mistress.
The new bridge to be built over the
Hudson River between New York and
Jersey City will eclipse the monster
Brooklyn structure. The great central
span will be $500 feet long, nearly
twice the length of the span over East
River. There are to be five towers ris-
ing to height of 500 feet above the
water. It is one of the most daring
feats of engineering undertaken in this
or any other country.
JUST after the war ended the Navy
Department gave Ericsson fifteen
inch shell found among the ruins of
Sumter. 1t had been fired from one
of the monitors, and somehow the fuse
had failed to go off. Ericsson sent it
to the King of Sweden, and the good
Oscar placed it in the great museum at
Stockholm, with simple and touching
inscription in honor of one of the most
honored of Swedes. It's there now.
LIZ an honest man in dire distress
goes to stranger, makes frank repre-
sensations of his identity and con-
dition, and asks to borrow dollar, the
chances are 10 to l that he will be re-
garded as an impostor and very point
eddy snubbed. On the other hand, a
swindler who goes into the business
with all deliberation and GOODNESS may
fatten upon the thousands of credulous
people and escape detection for years.
DAN CoUGHLIN, who is serving his
life sentence in Joliet Prison, Joliet,
ILL.,, for his part in the Cronin murder,
is almost physical wreck. His cheeks
are pale and sunken and he looks as il
he would be sleeping under the flowers
before long. He receives many visits
from his wife and child, and no doubt
their welfare worries him. His expec-
tation of new trial is what keeps him
up. If this hope is blasted it is thought
he will tell all he knows about the
murder.
EDWARD RosEwATER, of the Omaha
Bee, recalls the fact that he once drank
beer with President Lincoln. It was
during the battle of Fredericksburg.
Rosewater was on duty at the War De-
partment, receiving dispatches from
the battlefield, and Lincoln was there
in his slippers, very pale and anxious
about the result. Stanton, Seward and
Captain Fox were also present. At
noon Mr.. Stanton sent out and got
pitcher of beer and some crackers; from
this the party lunched, Mr.. Lincoln
drinking beer and munching crackers
with the rest 1t will be seen, there
fore, that persons who work the growl-
or have distinguished precedent
for it.
We labor and labor, but there is just
as much necessity for recreation as for
labor. We cannot live without it--not
even the Iaboring man. Exercise is all
well enough, but il must be of the right
kind. The mind as we'll as the body
wants exercise but it wants something
else, as well as the body. 1t wants a
change; il wants to get into new
channel, to get new life infused into it.
