In her cooking lesson in the Ladies'
Home journal Mrs. $. 7. Rorer writes
of "Breads and Bread-Making," and
gives this, her favorite, formula for
making Boston brown bread: Mix
two cups of Yankee rye meal, one cup
of granulated yellow Indian meal, and
one cup of whole wheat flour. Add a
teaspoonful of salt, and sift. Dissolve
a level teaspoonful of soda in about
two tablespoonfuls of warm water;
add it to one and one-half pints of thick
sour milk or buttermilk. Then add
to this one cup of molasses. When
thoroughly blended pour it over the
dry ingredients and mix thoroughly
Pour into creased two-quart brown
bread mold, put on the lid tightly and
steam continuously for five hours.
Lift the lid, allowing the bread to
cool, and at serving time bake for
thirty minutes. y

A stove has been invented for use in
the heated months Of summer. 1t will
reduce temperature, just as stoves
heated by fire raise the temperature in
winter. By the use of salt, small
quantity of ice, and talented chemi-
cal, the most intense degree OF cold is
secured. So great is the cold that it
is as dangerous to touch this cold stove
when in operation as it would be to
place the hand on fire stove ct a
high degree Of heat. The skin is in
stantly taken off, and painful injuries
are the result of the slightest contact.
During the hottest weather the tenn
perature of a room may be run down
and made pleasant. The cost of OPP
Grating the stove is very slight.

How to Find Gu. ia room is Damp.

How to Find Out If Room is Damp.
To ascertain whether or not room
is damp, kilogramme of fresh lime
should be placed therein, after hermet-
ically closing doors and windows. In
twenty-four hours it should be weighed,
and if the kilogramme has absorbed
more than ten grammes of water THAT
is, more than one per cent, the room
should be considered damp and classed
as unhealthy. The question Of the
dampness of dwellings is frequent
cause Of dispute between landlord and
tenant, and is naturally solved in the
negative by the former. The question
can be settled in the future by the test
of the hydration of lime, which will
give irrefutsble proof of the validity
of such complaint.

Many gold finds have been purely
accidental. An adventurer who had
drifted into Leadville awoke one
morning without food or money. He
went out and shot deer, which, in its
dying agonies, kicked up the dirt and
disclosed signs of gold. The poor
man staked out "claim," and open
ed one of the most profitable mines
ever worked in Leadville. Another
rich mine in Leadville, called Dead
Mans Claim, was discovered by a
broken-down miner while digging a
grave.

One day, after visiting one Of the
Scotch historic towns, an English lady
entered the train, and, having rather a
long journey, she wanted something
to read on the way, SO she called
newsboy forward. She asked him
what books he had After naming
over all his wares, and none of them
pleasing her, he lost his patience, and
when she told him she wanted some
thing soft, sweet, and solid, he turned

Mosquit o Has a Mission.

Two physicians in Havana have hit
upon the happy idea of using the per-
sistant little warriors to inoculate
fresh arrivals in the city against yell
low fever. The mosquitoes are made
first to contaminate themselves by
diseased person. The in
oculation brings on mild attack Of
the fever; but when that is passed
away the patient enjoys immunity not
only from the disease, but, what is
even more curious, from the bites Of
the insects that have saved him.
