Cracks In Bread Loaves.

The cracks in loaves are caused usual
" by too much -four being used in the
kneading, making the loaf too stiff.
When the batter is set at night, suffi-
cient flour is added to make it pour thick
ly from a spoon In the morning when
lmeading only enough flour should be
added to keep the dough from sticking
to the hands and the board and practice
I'm bneading makes this quantity much
less than at the first trial. Bread should
be turned in the oven while baking so
that all sides may be baked equally or
be exposed to equal heat, as this some
times makes the cracks. New York

Once 1t rose and fell
On thy moony tide.
Let its pearly bulwarks dwell
By thy side.
Rugged with gossamer,

Never a wind would stir
Cord or sail or crew.

Cleft the blue.
Blithe even so was /,
Gay, light hearted maid.
Now, my sails are dry,
My fond crew afraid.

Nevermore to be
On the full hearts flow
Indolent and free

no benefit from them. The first of last August
she weighed but Is pounds and although she
has taken only three bottles of Nervine she
now weighs 106 pounds; her nervousness ana
symptoms of St.Nitus dance are entirely gone,

comfort and ease. She has recovered complete
use of her arm, her appetite is splendid ana
