Defense of Hot Bread.

So much has been said and written about the unhealthiness of eating hot bread that its lovers will be comforted to know that the doctors do not all talk the same way about it. Dr. Troitzki, writing to Russian medical journal, says that after careful exam ination he has found that new and un- cut bread contains no nitro-organisms, as the heat necessary to cook the bread has destroyed them all. After bread has been cut and allowed to stand around for awhile it quickly collects bacteria, as it is an excellent medium for them to thrive on. Wheat bread, he thinks, gathers bacteria faster than rye, as the latter has more acidity. Now all peo- pie who love hot bread can eat 1t with the comfortable feeling that, while 1t may not be quite as digestible as stale bread, it is free from the bacteria, which are making the world so uncom- fortable in these days. A little dys- pepsia is better than the cholera.

Cucumber Salad in Winter.

Cucumber lovers will find way tc enjoy them fresh out of season by fol lowing this German recipe to preserve them: Take as many medium-sized cu- cumbers as you wish and pare and slice them as if for salad and then salt them we'll and after leaving them in the salt a few hours the salt and liquid are squeezed out of them with a clean white cloth. Then take a quantity of finely-cut onions and peppercorn and mix them well into the cucumber. Put the whole into a large stone jar and pour over it the best white wine win. egar, and on top two inches of good salad oil; cover the top of the jar with bladder. During the whole winter the cucumber remains fresh and good When necessary add a little more win. egar, and always leave two inches of oil at the top. Cucumber salad made from the vegetable thus prepared is said to be almost equal to its use in the fresh state.

friend, and he told me good campaign story. He said: "When was making n republican speech in Butte, Mont I was surprised by a question which was asked me by an apparently unlet- tered man. I had been talking about the glories of protection and the neces- sity of having protection, particularly upon our raw materials and manufac' tured goods, when the citizen referred to arose and asked if he might pro pound question. l responded: Ger tainlv, that I would be very glad to answer any question: He thereupon said: What kind of suit of clothes is that which you now have on" l was so nonplussed by this question that l was not prepared to answer it prompt ly. The republican county committee occupying the platform with me was apparently frightened, while the crowd yelled and jeered and cheered, While the TOW was going on l caught my breath. ,,

AUTOGRAPH covERLET.

invigorates the atmosphere, so white rose, violet or heliotrope may be used without stint. A yard of cheese cloth will bo found desirable size for the little comfortable. Spread this upon a table and overlay it with sheets of cot ton wadding, literally sprinkled with sachet powder. Finally cover the cot ton with a second yard of cheese cloth, turn in the edges and baste them to- gether, after which they may be over handed or stitched about on the ma chine. The entire coverlet should then be pasted through and through to hold the cotton in place.
 A circle, a square or diamond, in ample size, should next be cut in paper as a pattern. Decide somewhat the nature of the design, keeping in mind that it must be sufficiently intricate to serve as quilting for the coverlet.
 A row of circles overlapping each other across the top and bottom of the coverlet is effective, with Baby" pasted out in your own autograph in the center. It is simple work to fol low out the pasted pattern with daisy ribbon, sewed firmly down to hold the cotton inside in place. The last yard of cheese cloth is utilized as a rufde for the edge. This frill should be three inches deep, made double, and the fuller it is the jauntier when set about the coverlet. A single row or several of daisy ribbon will hide the stitches that join the ruffie to the GOV. erlet. These ribbons may be tied in little bow-knots at the four corners.
 A pretty and convenient pocket for the perambulator can be made ot white, blue or pink china silk eui- broidered with forget-me-nots, rose buds, violets or daisies. Neatly made up and completely lined satin ribbons an inch wide should be run in casing, sewn out for the purpose, at the foot of the ruffie. These ribbons should draw at either side to open and shut the bag, reticule fashion.
 The bag may contain several essen tials-a couple of safety pins, the child's bottle of milk for emergency, with a bit of absorbent cotton tucked lnSAue the nlppie to heSP AO hoh AcoA ing, an extra bib and handkerchief, a flannel square against sudden cold.
 Here is dainty gift for an infant: Three yards of two and half-inch wide satin ribbon is required. The strap proper is made of two lengths of ribbon, the one used for the outside embroidered with forget-me-nots, vio- lets or pansies.
 The two pieces of ribbon are care fully overhanded together and one end sewed up, making bag the width of the ribbon and a half yard long; this is tight ly stuffed with thoroughly sacheted cotton, and the open end closed. The remainder of the ribbon is made uI into two full rich rosettes, each hay ing short pennant ends jockey fashion
 A yard of ribbon, a quarter of al inch wide and matching in color, may be securely fastened to the elaborate strap beneath the rosettes, and will

A Bit of Ipgersoll,an Repartee.

Gen. Sheridan also told me that when Col Robert G. Ingerson was making speeches during the campaign of 1868, it was generally conceded rumor that he was to receive s1O,OOO for canyassing the New England states. He was ad- dressing big crowd at Putnam, Conn.,, one night, praising Grant and Wilson and advocating republican principles, when an old farmer interrupted him with the remark:
 "You get s1o,oOO for lying about the democratic party"
 The brilliant orator instantly retort- ed: If I am earning S10,000, am not fool. But you are making fool of yourself in this meeting, and you are not making a cent"

POCKET AND STRAP.

serve to adjust the strap to the car riage in lieu of the buckles which fasten the leather straps. These straps are prettily made in linen and are em- broidered and finished in the same manner, and serve nicely for sum- mer use.
 Another dainty trihe is gauge screen for outdoor use. This may be made of two yards square of pointe d'esprit or of wash blonde, as many people think dots injurious to young eyes.
 A frill of pointe d'esprit lace four inches deep may be set about the square. The sewing is to be covered with border of braiding with daisy ribbon run in it. Several rows of braid- ing run with ribbon will give very dressy effect. The four corners may be finished with tiny bow knots or rich rosettes. The ribbon used may be white, blue or pink, according to the other fittings or the babes complexion Boston Globe.

and cheered themselves almost hoarse. When they had quieted down again said: Now have given you a fair an- swer to your question and I suppose you think I am an honest man. The crowd yelled that they believed I was an honest man, and then said: I an- swered that question honestly, and now intend to tell you more than you expected to get from me by asking the question. I won this suit on bet from democrat on Harrison's election, and of course the democrat would not buy goods of American manufacture. Then the shoe was on the other foot, and the republican yells shook the house."

BEAUTIFUL EXERCISE.

Simple Movements for Developing rhysr
 icaI Beauty and Strength.
 An eminent physician has said that if the following three simple move- ments are executed vigorously every day for twenty minutes the effect in s years time will be very apparent. Be- fore going down to breakfast, open wide the window and for ten minutes go through the following exercises First, stand perfectly straight, with heels together, and infiate the lungs with the pure morning air, drawing in the breath while fifteen is being counted and expelling in the same way. Repeat this eight or ten times. Then bring the arms forward at full length with the palms together and then throw them vigorously back, try ing to touch the backs At first it will seem impossible, but after few days practice it can be done.
 Do this from twenty-five to fifty times, then raise the arms above the head to the utmost, with the palms outward, and then lean slowly for. ward, keeping the knees perfectly straight. and try to touch the ground with the fingers. This, too, requires practice at first, but can be done after awhile. Then raise the arms gradually to the first position and repeat the movement twenty-five to fifty times. At night go through the same move ments. This simple little exercise, if persisted in, will prove to be of incal' culable benefit and restore young peo- pie to perfect health when medicine has failed to bring about the desired result.

Mrs. Lincoln,s EccentrIcIty.

One of the dearest and sweetest old ladies in Washington to-day was at one time the gayest of all the gay butter flies of fashion. She narrates incl dents of the wartime, some of which are worthy of record for permanent place in the history of our country. She said that at the funeral of Col. Baker, the Oregon ex-senator who was killed at Balls Bluff, the wife of President Lincoln wore a lilac silk dress, with lilac silk bonnet and gloves to match. Of course such brilliant costume worn by the wife of the presi- dent to the funeral of so distinguished man attracted universal attention and universal condemnation. A lady friend of Mrs. Lincoln called at the white house with the kindest intent to advise her of the impropriety of dress ing in such startling manner, and in the vestibule of the white house Mrs. Lincoln met her and exclaimed:
 "I am so glad you have come, am just as mad as can be. Mrs. Crjtten- Gen has just been here to remonstrate with me for wearing my lilac suit to Col Bakers funeral. wonder if the women of Washington expect me to muffie myself up in mourning for every soldier killed in this great war" The lady here said: But, Mrs. Lincoln, dc you not think black more suitable tc wear at funeral because there is a ! great war in the nation?" "No, don't. I want the women to mind their own business. I intend to wear what please" SMITH D. FRY.

come where the moonbeams finger, as the pretty little song hath 1t. may have something to show you" She smiled at him with that insolent twinkle in her eyes which became her so we'll; but he only repeated slowly, as he looked straight back into those insolent eyes:
 II think shall never come near you again." Then he turned, forgetful of his manners, and walked away from the vicarage lawn, while her contempt uous laugh echoed in his ears as mocking comment on his words. Then he mounted his horse and, white with anger, went slowly down the leafy lane.
 A passionate man of comedy coun- tenauce, a chestnut horse with one white stocking, struggling village iD a prosperous valley, an amphitheater of crag and gorse and bow lder, an aft ernoon sun shining down on every thing; these things were all present, and this same sunshine was softening the outward appearance of all. Even the wild hills showed gentle, placid face in the mellow shine of it, as might a hoary warrior in looking upon the sleep of children; all was peace, and languor, and contentment; only in the heart of the man was torment unbear- able.
 "I will never go near her again. am glad told her so-" he ragged, in- wardly. Il think hate her-I think" The chestnut turned his head to- wards the village, where the children and the geese screamed together on the green, rivals in noise, in restless ness, in self-satisfaction; rivals indeed in all save cleanliness, in which virtue the geese undoubtedly rose superior.
 The man hesitated.

Margaret Why were you not Helen? Why did l ever think l loved Mar garet? Love! That cold, sluggish preference, love! What fool was. And she; could not she herself feel the coldness of it?

 The chestnut kept his easy pace and began to mount the slope. The sun still blazed down on all, but the air grew less sultry than in the valley through which they had passed.
 Helen, Helen! do you love me at all, wonder If l thought so-if knew there was a chance"
 The chestnut slackened pace at the foot of the Tor itself, and set his shoul' ders for the ascent The suns tints deepened as the afternoon wore on, and scuffling breeze blew soft across the land
