making. The influence of dyspepsia
uponthe community and of bread upon
dyspepsia has been set forth times
without number. Sometimes there
have arisen teachers who, with chem
ical language, tried to bring about an
era of good bread-making. But bread
continues variable in its quality.
In the first place, the -four used
should be the best. Good -four is soft
to the touch, slightly yellow in color,
and sticks to the hand when plunged
into it. Flour of darker tints and with.
out a~dhesiveness is inferior. The water
should be pure and tasteless, from a
running stream if possible. Salt should
not be mixed with the -four, but with
the water used in kneading. The
kneading should be a continuous pro-
cess, neither very fast nor very slow.
There are dough-making machines
which have advantages over the old
methods of mixing by hand.
The oven she Id be ready for The
Dread at exactly the same time thai the
bread is ready for the oven. Large
loaves should be placed in the back OF
the oven, small ones in front. Large
loayes should be baked an hour and a
half, small ones three-quarters of an
hour. When taken from the oven
bread should be exposed to fresh al

How the Chickens Got Out.

A correspondent who spent the sum

bears witness to a pleasing display OF
ingenuity on the part Of a domestic hen,

The chickens were getting large

To his surprise, the chickens were

for all that, the chickens were o OUT
again.
This time Mr.. Frazier determined to
see how the thing was done. He had
not long to wait. The fugitiyes were
hardly back In the enclosure before the
mother sat down near the middle OF the
yard, as If she were brooding. The
next moment two of the chickens
hoped upon her back; whereupon sh'

a t~welve-inch piece of tape, sewing it
by the middle SO as to form strings six
