TEMPERATURE IN BREAD-MAK-
ING.

The temperature at which bread is both
raised and baked is of the greatest impor-
lance in producing the perfect loaf. DIR.
Woods, of the Connecticut experiment sta
ton, places the proper raising temperature
at from 80 degrees to % degrees Fahrenheit
and the baking temperature at from 100
degrees to 500 degrees. In a late paper on
hrcad-malng. he cautions the housewife
against cooling the loaycs OF bread too
rapidly after taking them from the oven.
"Much of the Souring of bread he adds,
lis doubtless due to Lack of care during
cooling. Owing to the high-water contents,
aud the large amounts Of heterogeneous sub
stances and sugar which bread contains, it
is, especially while warm, a soil for the
development of various kinds Of molds and
bacteria 4 loaf of bread hot from the

not fall to be injurious. The woman who
is obliged to Use her eyes steadily must

STUDYING THE FEET.

Dr. Gerard Smith, who has for many
years made a study of the numerous all
ments Of the human foot, says he has found
the Turkish baCh room most favorable
place for making his observations, SAYS the
Chicago Record. He believes that il pco.
pie could =" through life with the feet us
they are at birth, that is to say, with no
change or development of fresh powers
in the feet or spine arising from
the assumption Of the erect posture, the
feet would require no education for fresh
duties But man, in the natural order of
evolution, has learned to walk, and the
foot has to meet the strain imposed upon il.
1t is in the fuliillmcnt OF this task that the
foot becomes in many cases malformed and
Ineffective. DR.. Smith noticed that hoy
was seldom seen at the baths who had fiat
feet or who failed to place the weight on
the feet properly, unless in the case of bows
OF very weak muscular powers and rapid
overgrowth, and this and other facts con
WINGED him that as a rule it is in adult
life that the utility Of the feet becomes
impaired by faulty habits and neglect of
proper exercise. In observing the walking
of barefooted men the skilled ear can learn
much by the sound of the footsteps The
perfectly resilient and silent football is very
rare. 1t is singular fact that the actual
weight Of the man has little to do with this
point,
some Of the most elastic and noselcss
footballs are observed in men of great stat
ure and muscular development and it is
well known that the stoutest men often
make the lightest dancers. Dr. Smith
quotes IN instance of man Of over six feet
in height, 10 years of age, and 1876 pounds
in weight, who makes far less noise in run
ming upstairs and moving about the house
than a small maid servant. The main
cause Of this inelastic tread is that people
