Bogus Bread.

II. s. Grimes of Ohio. presumably
a miller, said to Washington Post
reporter the other day, that lit would
surprise a goodly number of people,
no doubt, 10 hear that they cate very
little strictly pure wheat bread. OF
late years it has got to be a common
thing with millers to mix i'm with the
-four they put up considerable per
cent. OF white cornmeal. do not
know just what proportion of mea
goes in, but ] do know that a great
deal of our corn crop is utilized this
way both for export and domestic
trade. II doesn't hurt the -four par
ticle, and no persons taste is keen
enough to note any difference when it
comes to eating the compound. There
in nothing disreputable in blending
the products, and the practice is COM
mon with the best millers. II makes
their profit little higher, Of course,
"a corn il much cheaper, than wheat,
but it is also just as nutritious, and 80
the public isn't sufferer. This plan
of mixing the cereals has long been in
vogue in Europe"

Economic clubs are being formed
here by maids and mairons who
frankly say their consciences prick
them in spending SO much more than
they ought for dress. One of these
refOrmers, chatting with me the other
day, humiliatingly confessed that she
now does the family darning, instead
of giving the hoisery away. But
noticed that though saving so much
she has decided 10 wear the finest Of
silk underwear; and, while saving u
few dollars by getting cheaper boots,
gloves and hats, she has her gowns
made by an eXtortionate costumer.
Truly, the logic of some women il
wonderful.

death, domestic animals, disease, wild
animals, water, ghosts, insects. rats
and mice, robbers, high winds, dream
fears, cats and dogs, cyclones, soil

different localities. In Cambridge
alone the fear OF thunder and light
ming does not lead. In st. Paul
sixty-seven fear cyclones and only.
