Soldering in the Orchcstr,

The last echo of one of SouSa's over
lures was just dying away over the
sandhills south of the Fair grounds
when Gen. Schoficld stepped i'm front of
the band and saluted the distinguished
leader. SouSa returned the salute and
sent one of his men to escort the Gen
erul up into the band stand. THAT mu-
sic was beautiful-bcautifulr eNclaim-
cd the General, as he shook Sousa's
hand warmly. Il am astoniShed, sir,
that YOU get such results with SO little
discipline" There is nothing that Sousa
prldcs himself more on than being one
of the strictcst of disciplinarians. and
he was naturally ncttled at the Gener-
ais criticism. "Why. General. my men
are under perfect control. I'm sure they
are thoroughly drilled, ana can hard
ly believe that there is any lack of dis
cipline. l haven't noticed it," mo,
that's just 1t; you don't see it."persisted
the General. Il saw it, though. Do you
know that as soon as YOU turn yeur
back on ono side of your band to shake
your baton at the other those fellows
all quit playing? OF course yuu don't
see II, for as soon as you turn around
they begin again" San Franciso

DREAD AND BREAD MAKING.

practical baker, writes Lizzie Clark

"Won't YOU please tell me how you

trembling, for | know only too we'll
that bakers rs n rule are 10th to reveal
the secrets of their art.
al never make yeast" he repIcl
laughing. 81 always make IA ferment. "
Then he very kindly proceeded to in,
itiate me into tho mystery of bakers
bread, AMI rs it has been SO much
more satisfactory to me than any
other way will tell you about it in
my own way.
TO begin Mt the very beginning
on the day before l wish to bake / al.
ways have mashed potatoes for dinner
and [ boil four or five moro than
need.
> Put tablespoonful of salt and half
cup OF sugar in an earthcn crock
and pour ever it the water in which
the potatoes were boiled, adding two
teacups of mashed potatoes. ID ssolve
fresh yeast cake III the cup of warm
water aud pour off the water into the
mixture. DO not put in the sediment,
rs 1t is more than likely to be sour.
Cover this aud let it stand, and in
very short time it will be fonming.
This is the regular bakers ferment,
AMI yod can make it in just two min
utes if you are i'll any way spry. Set
your bread Mt bedtime if you wish or
III early morning, putting in all the
fcrment, beat the sponge we'll and
cover closely. In short time il will
he light and foamy. Now knaad 1T
down, putting in all the flour it will
need, rs none should be added mt the
last mixing, rub well over with butter
to keep ont the air, cover closely and
set III cool place. Never keep it
very warm. In an hour it will be
ready to put into loHyes. Now kmeud
very lightly, rub over with butter and
let rise to twice the original size
This may sound like great deal of
work, but really if you try it you will
find 1t much cnsier than the old yeast
making process aud your bread will
always be sweet, light and white, and

flat, and it will spring back to its orig
iual size. | once gave this process in

words of thanks from those who have
tried it and say 1t is so satisfactory
that they will never use any other.--

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE

LIVER ROT IN suEEp-

Liver disease of the sheep is due to
the presence of parasitic worms in

These worms are taken into the sheep
mostly in water in which the eggs are,
or by swallowing with the grass, on
low pasture, the small snails in which
the worms eggs exist, as this is one
stage of the existence of this parasite
known as the liver fukc. The symp-
toms OF the disease are white skin,
yellow eyes, dry. harsh wool, swelling
below the jaws, and general Door con-
dition. The belly is filed with vel
low or redish water outside the bow.
els, due TO eilusion OF serum from the
blood, and this produces intense thirst.
which IS one marked symptom of the
dis ease. There is scarcely any hope
lul remedy, us the disease is generally
fatal; but to give salt regularly and to
avoid low, wet pasture and stagnant
pond water will be effective means of
prevention. - New York Times.
