Wheaton bread is composed princi-
pally of starch. When starch Is sub.
jected to a high temperature It is
changed into an easily digested subject
called dextrine. In the ordinary cook
ing of loaf of bread the starch in the
outer layers is changed into dextrine,
which helps to give the crust that pecu-
liar agreeable flavor which we call
sweet. Slices of bread undergo SINH
lar change when toast is made To
make toast successfully one must en-
deavor to convert as much as possible
of the starch into dextrine. To do this
cut the bread one-third of an inch
thick, place the slices in q toaster or
wire broiler. and dry slowly either in
moderate oven or by holding the broi-
er some distance from the fire.
The object is to give tho heat time to
penetrate to the center of the slice be-
fore the outside has begun to change
color. for il sheath be formed over
the outside, at once the moisture will
be shut in and the middle of the slice
will be prevented from becoming suffi-
GENTLY heated to change its starch, for
the temperature will not rise much
above 2l2 deg. Fahrenheit until the
water is dried out Starch is changed
to dextrine at 4o1 deg. Fahrenheit.
Toast that is moist in the middle and
BACKED on the outside is less whole
some than untoasted bread. Great care
should therefore be taken with the dry
ing. When this has been accomplished
lower the broiler little nearer TO the
Goals and the toast will quickly turn
to golden brown. An IDEAL piece Of
toast is crisp and golden throughout.
Many say they prefer toast that Is
soft inside and they can not eat hard.

At the court of the Quirinal tho
visitors are always received with
special kindness and cordiality. Hum
bert loves America and her people, and
among tho numerous memorials re-
ceived by him upon the death Of Victor
Emanuel he prizes most highly and has
assigned to the most conspicuous place
the address presented to him January
IT. 1878, by Mr.. Marsh, then United
States minister at Rome, containing
the signatures of one hundred and fifty
American residents Of the Imperial city.
In that address Victor Emanuel is de-
ecribed as 1.-The principal instrument Of
God in she liberation and unifcation Of
Italy," and 1.-The king, greatest among
kings, for the immaculate loyalty with
which he preserved the constitution of
his nation and the liberty Of his people"
To Humbert's personal interest is due
the fact that the Italian government
sent to this country the monument to
Columbus on board warship; and
through the same influence Italy, at
the next naval parade in New York.
will be represented by three of the most
beautiful and powerful cruisers of her
navy, under the command of Rear Adj
miral Magnaghi.
OF Queen Margherita let it suffice to
say that not only her physical beauty
and personal fascination endear her to
the hearts of her people, but her many
accomplishments and amiab}e and noble
qualities. She is an ardent devotee of
music, literature, philosophy and his
tory: speaks, besides her own language,
English, German, Spanish, French and
Russian, and is thus able to converse
fuentiy with the representatives of the
leading foreign nations in their respect

the court officials and the captain of the
company of guards on duty. The king
partakes moderately of food and drinks
very little wine. Like his father, he is
fond of the great American beverage,
iced water. Humbert smokes immod-
erately brand of Virginia cigars,
of which a supply is presented to
him annually by the Austrian
emperor. He generally receives
between the hours of one and
three, after which. accompanied BY his
aides de camp, he takes long walk in
the garden and makes a tour of the
royal stables Habitually he goes out
daily, alone or with the queen, either
to the Villa Panfli or to the Pincio. or
some other public and fashionable
quarter of Rome. At seven he dimes,
afterward conversing genially with his
literature and other interesting sub

Italy has free and easy manners. treating

The Duchess of Litta has constituted

past twenty five years, and one of the

queens jealousy and the kings inhdel-

has left her husband for months at
time, absenting herself altogether from
court and living in retirement some
where along the seacoast, in order to
conceal from the public her chagin at
the conduct of her lord and master At
such Zines as these the kings courtiers
and friends were wont to insinuate
that her majesty's withdrawal from
court was attributable to nervous pros

There are few crowned heads OF Europe,

Queen Margherita, one of the most ac-

grounds for her temporary absence

battle of Villafranca, June "a, 1865, he
commanded the Fourth battalion of the
Forty-ninth regiment, sustaining for
hours the violent charges OF the Aus
trian cavalry, maintaining his nerve
and courage while his comrades fell
wounded and dead around him, and dis
playing a remarkable acquaintance
with military matters.
At the death of Victor Emanuel, on
January g. 1878, he succeeded him as
king of United italy. He has manifest
ed as such those traits of character
which give distinction to constitutional
sovereigns, and certain incidents in his
career are regarded by his subjects as
claims on their personal affection.
