THE WORLD IS NEW.

When Spring, with maiden tenderness,
Steals shyly hither to caress.
Toglsdden with her pretty mirth,
Our happy, fow'r-bedizened earth;
My dear, my dear, what pageant days
Will greet us In the country ways!
What Eden Joys come back again
When hawthorne whiten down the lane!
The little wistful moon, my friend,
Will peep above the gable-end,
And see the hillside orchard white
With blossom all the fervent night
The cottage panes will glow at dusk.
The darkness gather, sweet with musk,
And weary kline, with tagging feet.
Pass lowing down the village street.
And then, at daybreak, bark, oh. hush!
Beneath the stars, the early thrush
Piping, while heaven glimmers gray,
His morning carol. clear and gay.
He sang that sef-same song, you know,
In Paradise, long years ago,
And keeps estranged from all regret
His warm, brave heart, unvanquished yet
For him, for US, the world is new
When daisied meadows CLEAN with dew;
All! not to us the times seem late
Who come but now to love and mate;
Content to deem it is most wise
To watch life out with tranquil eyes,
To kiss warm lips, and win thereby
little comfort ere we die.

BED MAKING.

Out of one hundred housemaids ninety.
nine will throw the bedclothes down
over the foot of the bed, then throw
them up again in few minutes. This
should never be permitted. Every
article should be taken off and laid
separately over chair, and a strong
current of air should be allowed to
circulate through the room before the
clothes are replaced. The mattress
should be turned daily, and from end
to end, as this insures it being worn
more evenly, and it will not sink in
the middle, which spoils the looks OF
any bed, no matter how beautiful its

MAKES THE BEST BREAD.

The best bread is that made from q
flour whose granules are uniform in
size, or as nearly go as possible. This
statement is made by J. B. Allfree
1.-THE American Miller, and the plaus-
ible line of reasoning by which he sus.
tains it is given in the following para
graphs. which we quote from his arti.
Gle:
"Yeast being a plant of the most
extraordinary and rapid growth, rap
idly setting up in any mass into which
it has been introduced conditions sim
ilar to its own, it is evident that the
impalpable portion Of -four will be
acted upon speedily, while only the
superficial layers of the larger gran
ules would be affected by the ferment.
Where such conditions exist-that is,
where flour granules vary in size-the
process cannot proceed uniformly.
The fine particles cannot wait upon
the coarse. They will have passed
through the various stages, aud too
often have reached the acid stage be-
fore the coarser or larger particles
will have been more than specifically
acted upon. Therefore, carbonic acid
gas that has been generated by the
smaller particles will have been elm
mated from the mass, and its useful
ness destroyed, while portion of the
nutritive properties will be trans.
formed into this gas and carried away
by it. This will materially affect the
size of the loaf as we'll as the flavor
and dietetic value of the bread, and,
furthermore, from over.fermentation,
other chemical conditions arise, re.
sulting in discoloration.
"On the other hand, if the flour
globules be of even size this chemical
action will be uniform, the entire mass
will reach the alcoholic or bread stage
at the same time, and, when put in
the oven, the heat will stop further
fermentation, as we'll as serving to
cook the loaf and further enlarge it
by the expansion of the air and gas
contained in it. Thus the nutrient
properties are retained, raising the
commercial as we'll as the hygIeuic
value of the bread"
