superstittons In North Germany.

During an eclipse ali hidden treas
ures are open, and if you are wise
enough to carry a primrose with you,
you will be able to help yourself to any
of them. No witchcraft will ever harm
you if you carry a water lily bud about
your person, and, if you should chance
to dream of lilies, you will soon be
happily married. If you eat double
cherries you will have twin children,
and if you are afraid Of lightning take
heed to keep in your house a plant of
orphine or livelong. Sow peas on
Wednesday and Saturday if you do not
want them eaten by birds; put blue
marjoram in the baby's cradle When
empty, to keep the witches at a re-
spectful distance, and if you don't
want your last baking to go moldy, you
must take heed not to bring cornfow-
ers into the house. Stars are souls and
when one falls a baby is born. When
a baby dies, God makes a new star

MUCH IN A NAME.

The Patronymics Bestowed Upon the Baby
Prince Edward of York.
There was IN interesting scene at
the old English town of Richmond on
the sixteenth of July last. Queen Vic
toria, the then ~czarevitch of Russia and
his then betrothed. Princess Alix, and
a considerable r~etinuc of other royal
ties went out to the residence of
the duke and duchess of Teck, the
white Lodge" There, in the great
drawing-room, the queen and her reti-
nue. assembled. Presently a nurse
entered, bearing the infant prince who,
if all goes we'll, will some day be king
of England-the baby son of the duke
of York, and great-grandson Of the
queen.
The baby was first handed to a lady
in waiting, to be given by her to the
queen: for the queen could not take a
baby from a nurse. This lady gave him
to the aged queen, who held him a mo-
ment, and then handed him over to the
archbishop of Canter bury.
The archbishop baptized him with
water brought from the river Jordan,
and called him Edward Albert Chris
tian George Andrew Patrick David.
ALI these names were bestowed with
a purpose. The first is that borne al
ready by six English kings: the second
is that of the princes great grand
father, the prince consort of the queen:
and both together, though in reversed
order, are borne by his grandfather,
the prince of Wales.
The name Christian is that of the
king of Denmark, father of the princess
of Wales, who was one Of the little
princes sponsors; and it also suggests
a reminder that, in these times of
doubt, the English royal house wishes
to remain assertively Christian.
George is the name of the princes
father, and Of tour English kings, and
the four last names are those of the
patron saints of the four parts Of the
British kingdom-George, of England;
Andrew. of Scotland; Patrick, of Ire
land, and David of Wales.
But the prince, of course, will never
habitually bear ali these names. He
will doubtless be known for a time
until a ducal title is bestowed upon
him at his maturity-simply as Prince
Edward. The full name symbolizes a
good deal, but it is bestowed only to
be disused on all except the most for
NAL occasions.-Youth's Companion.

The Care of Young Orchards.

A journal which assumes to be au.
thority on all subjects pertaining to or
chards and fruits says it is q good plan
to plant some crop among young trees,
but not nearer than eight feet from
The trees. This advice is good enough
and ought to be practiced, but when it
goes on and says cultivate the crop
twice as much as the trees are or
ought to be cultivated, we feel like
protesting. Too much cultivation can
mot be given young trees any more
than any other crop. Tue principal
trouble is that too many times young
orchards are neglected in this respect
Cultivate your trees as much as posi-

FACTS O FLOUR.
Different Brands Of Wheat. Their Qualities,
Use and Process Of Grinding.

Dinerent Brands Of Wheat, Their Qualities,
Use and Process OF Grinding.
Much trouble in cooking arises from
the difference in various brands OF
flour. There are often. indeed, varia-
tlons in the same brand. All are caused
by the different modes of making -four
and changes in the kind of wheat used.
When flour is made by the roller pro-
cess two cupfuls will make a much
sitter batter than -four made by the
old process of grinding between stones
or produced by first crushing by roll
ers. then grinding between tones
Millers all over the country are always
looking for. and frequently making,
improvements in the process which
they are accustomed to follow. This
necessarily results in changes in the
texture and quality Of their products.
Then, too, it makes a difference wheth-
err the wheat used is spring or winter
wheat. In the eastern states, where
the mills are few. the -four ONE
largely from Minnesota and the other
western states. The -four has for the
last fifteen or twenty years been made
almost wholly by the roller process,
and chiefly of sp,t,- ME- dis
tinguishing quality Of this flour isehis:
If rubbed between the fingers it feels
rough and granular. and if pressed In
the hand it will not hold its shape, but,
fall apart as g%ranulated sugar would
When using this -four by measure al
low one-eighth more wetting than for
flour made by grinding between
stones.
Recently a number of millers have
modified the new process by using the
rollers for cleansing, separating and
grinding until the last stages of the
work, when the flour is put between
stones and ground smooth and fine.
When this is done the distinguishing
features between the old and new pro-
cesses are lost. The flour is smooth to
the touch, will keep its shape if pressed
in the hand and will not absorb as
much moisture as the more granular
kind. 1t can be used equally well for
bread, cake and pastry. Some of the
mills in New York. Pennsylvania. Ohio
and Michigan make this -four in perfec-
ton.

wheat will not give SO good bread when
first made as it will after it has been
kept for a month or more. \ great
deal of the trouble with bread comes
from the condition of the -four. A bar
rel of flour that will not make good
bread to-day, simply because the wheat
was too new when ground, will, if kept
for two months, make perfect bread, if
the yeast be good; for, after all, the
yeast is more frequently than the flour
the cause of failure to make satisfac-
tory bread.
When one buys -four in smull quanti-
ties there will always be IN uncertain
ty as to how it will work until after
the first time it is used. Even in small
families it is better to get flour by the
barrel, as it improves with age. An
other thing for the housekeeper to re-
member is that the whitest -four is not
the most nutritious. What is called
first quality -four does not contain
nearly SO large a quantity of the best
elements of the wheat as the second
quality, which is much darker, but
gives a sweeter but more nutritious
