the two other time pieces which occupy

part of the furniture of the Philadel-

feature of this piece of mechanism is
that, although fully 240 years of age.

why Ii hung Chnng was obliged to
Resort to Dupiicity.
In engaging the services OF COM
petent British officer to organize its
navy, the Chinese government. e., Ii
Hung Chang-was obliged to resort TO
duplicity in order to effect a semblance
of reconciliation between the naval SER
vice and the mandarin system, says
Blackwood's Magazine. After the ex-
perience gained in his first term of SER
vice in China, Capt. Lang declined TO
re-enter it without adequate substan-
tive rank. Whether this stipulation
was made by the British board of ad-
miralty before giving him leave to
serve, or was imposed by Capt. Lang
himself, is immaterial. What the vice
roy had TO do was to contrive a form
of words which would satisfy the con-
dition without disturbing the Chinese
official arrangements
Capt. Lang was given the title of CO.
admiral with Ting, while all authority
was secretly withheld from him. So
long as Admiral Ting was present,
Capt Lang did not discover his true
position. His advice was followed, he
was on the most cordial terms with his
co-admiral. and there was nothing to
show he was not de facto. commander
in chief. AS soon, however, as an ac-
cident caused the two to be separated,
the situation was revealed. Lang's or
der TO raise the admirals flag
was disobeyed, and Commodore Liu
assumed command Of the fleet. An ap-
peal by telegram to the Viceroy LII only
brought stronger confirmation of the
fact that Lang's Chinese rank was
never intended to be other than
sham.

WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.
A Recipe That Has Been Tried and
Found Good.

Found Good.
A tested recipe for whole wheat
bread which we are glad to note is be-
coming a part of the diet of every we'll
nourished family, consists of one pint
of boiling water poured into a pint of
milk. Cool the liquid and when luke
warm add one cake of compressed yeast
dissolved in half cupful of warm
water. Add a teaspoonful of salt and
enough whole wheat to make to batter
that will drop easily from spoon.
Beat thoroughly five minutes, cover,
and stand in place that is moderately
warm for three hours. Enough whole
wheat to make dough should then be
added gradually. When stiff, knead on
your board until the mass is soft and
elastic. but not sticky. Make the dough
into loaves put in creased breadpans,
and after covering stand aside one
hour. The time for baking will depend
on the size of the losves. If long
French loaves, bake thirty minutes in
a quick oven. If large square loaves,
bake one hour at modeyate heat.
When crusty bread is liked the dough
may be made in sticks and baked in
pans made for that special purpose.
Another tested recipe that requires less
handling and that is used by Miss
Johnson is made in the following way:
Scald one cupful of milk, add a tea
spoonful Of butter, the same quantity
OF salt, a tablespoonful of sugar, and
one cupful of water. When lukewarm
add one-half yeast cake and enough
wheat -four to make a thin batter.
This should be done in the morning, as
the bread rises quickly. After making
a smooth batter let 1t rise until very
light. Add whole wheat gradually and
beating continuously until as much has
been added as you can stir convent
emily II the -four is not added gradu-
ally and we'll mixed the bread will be
coarse-grained. Turn into creased tins,
and when light bake one hour on a
moderate oven.

drew his knife from his pocket, opened
1t with his teeth. and reaching over, he
cut the harness from the off horse, and
touching him with the point OF his

cleared himself from the carriage. His
