his place upon the platform would
fasten upon the arch the representa-
ton Of marble slab. bearing the

Should Remember.

The Government Chemists, after having analysed
all the principal brands of baking powder IN the
market. in their reports placed the "Royal at the
head of the list for strength, purity and wholesome
ness: and thousands of tests all over the country
have further demonstrated the fact that its qualities
are, in every respect, unrlvaled.
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift or
prize. or at a lower price than the Royal, as they IN
variably contain alum, lime or %sulphurio acid, and
render the food unwholesome.

WASHING CoLogED corroxs.

DARK colored cottons should be
washed very carefully to obtain the
best results. The water should be
warm, but not hot, and should be pre-
pared expressly for the purpose, moth
ing else having been washed in it.
Cottons, il white, leave lint, which
gathers on dark fabrics. Soap bark
is better than soap, and in any event
should be put into the water and never
applet directly to the fabric. 1t
should be rinsed in two waters, both
made warm and very dark with blue
ing. If starch IS required, use corn
starch, and instead of water use coffee
freed from every suspicion OF grounds.
Boil the starch we'll; if you will use
gum-arabic instead Of the cornstarch
and dilute it with the coffee You will

GOOD BREAD.

In these days, when housekeepers
are looking carefully into the mere
scientific preparations of food, it is al
acknowledged fact that bread grown
in the light, both sunlight or light o.
day, is more wholesome as an article
of food. You will find the yeast cake
You mention a little slow in action,
and it may take longer than you wish
to follow the recipe for day bread.
One point is that the yeast must be
moistened first. Now, suppose you
sponge your bread, say at 7 o'clock in
the morning. Your maid is up at 6 !;
let her take two cakes for each four
loaves Of bread. She should put the
two cakes into a warm bowl and pour
over a half plot of warn water. In a
moment the cakes will soften; then
stir in five or six tablespoonfuls of
-four, sufficient to make a soft batter !;
peat for o moment, stand the bowl in
another of warm water and cover a
towel over both, so that the steam
will assist the growth Of the yeast
plant. Remember that all plants re-
quire warmth and moisture. Now, if
you make milk bread, have ready
scalded the quantity of milk. If water,
put the water into a bowl, add salt and
sufficient -four to make a batter, which
beat thoroughly. Now, after the maid
has cooked the breakfast-and it will
take not more than a half hour-she
will find the contents of the first bowl
light and foamy. Turn this into the
sponge; give a thorough mixing, and
stand aside in Il warm place until it is
very light-about three hours. Then
finish it precisely the same as you
would ordinary yeast bread. When
light, mold; when light again, bake.
