How to Make Bread and zwieback-A
Pretty Plant Tor g Window Car
den-Eolde~ Fer Whislz Broom.

That there Is a much better grade of
bread made and eaten by the majority
Of people nowadays than prevailed some
years ago is q fact that we must all adj
nit. AS there are reasons for all of the
great and small facts Of life, it follows
that there must be one for this, and it
is readily found in the improved quail
ity Of the -four and quicker yeast than
our grandnothers were always able to
obtain.
There are a few points in breadnak-
ing that many cooks do not appreciate.
In cold weather the -four should ba
warmed and everything connected with
the bread should be almost at blood
heat While the old fashioned salt or
milk rising Internationally makes the
sweetest and most relishable bread,
many women who might do SO refrain
from making it on account Of the length
of time it takes to raise it, Compressed
yeast, if strictly fresh, will raise in
half of the time. Salt rising, if made
with potatoes, keeps fresh for a lohg
time; quite long enough, in fact, for
any such eatable TO be kept on hand.
Bread should not be kept over four or
five days in warm or moderate weather.
It begins to deteriorate and soon devel-
ops a form Of bacteria that is by no
means wholesome. After four days, if
there is any bread III the box, it should
be sliced and put into the oven and con-
verified into. zwiebaok For this purpose
a very hot oven is required. Let the
slices remain until they are light
brown, not a yellow shade, but distinct
~ Drowned, then put them away in pa
per bags or pasteboard boxes. They are
delicious in coffee and form most ex-
celIent basis for dainty dishes Of vari-
GUS sorts. For eggs on toast, cream
toast, soups or buildings, salt rising
bread made into zwieback is invaluable.
AS an instantaneous relish, for example,
when one comes in heated and hungry
and needs a cup of something warm
with cracker Or other accompaniment,
it is unsurpassed. A dish of panada
with this ingredient as substitute for
crackers is a most delicious luncheon if
one is hungry when about to retire.
Yeast bread is also good and bakers
and other bread may be utilized to great
advantage. Economy is the prime con-
sideration in the house and in nothing
is it more important than in the utiliz-
ing of breadstuffs New York Ledger.

A PRETTY Plant.

Forgetmenot is easily cultivated and
is one of the prettiest plants for win
dow garden. 1t is half aquatic and will
thrive in vases of water as we'll as in
pots of earth. All that is needed is to
obtain a few cuttings roofing them Ell
Their in damp moss or in water, then
filling a vase or hanging basket with
the young plants, which they will
quickly fill with roots and profusely
cover with Towering shoots and branch
lets, and in shady window are charm
ing objects. When the plants begin to
show signs of fading, fresh cuttings
may be started, or the old plants may
be pulled to pieces, and the branches
already covered with roots formed into
new plants by inserting them into a
fresh vase or basket.

It is calculated that there are at
least 800, 900 drunkards in the United
States; of this number at least 10000
die every year; that 100000 men and
women are sent to prison every year
under the influence of intoxicating
drink; that over 2OO,O 900 children are
sent to the poorhouse every year as
the result of intoxication, and over 500
murders are committed every year
as the result of intoxication, and to
this you may add 400 suicides; that
the record of deaths of those who are
Incorporate compared with those
who are not, both in England and
America, is as four to one; that four
fifths of the crime and seven eighths
of the pauperism are due to drunken
ness; that the drink bill of the United
States is over $500, 100000 annually;
that for every dollar which the United
States government receives as reve
nue., $40 are expended for drink; that
the total waste due to the use of in
toxicating drinks would amount in
this country to at least $9OO,OOO,OOO
annually.

false. In view of the fact that our

have been created in the minds of
any Of our agents, customers or
friends, we desire to state that the
works Of the Walter A. Wood Now
ing and Reaping Machine Company
at Hoosick Falls, n. Y, have been
running since early in November
last, and are now running day and
night in order to fill promptly the
immense orders that have been re-

orders thus far received from many
of our agents for the season of 1898
are the largest in the history of the

the number of certain kinds of ma

been exceeded. We are turning out
machines of the finest workmanship

construction, and in adaptation of the
very latest improvements which after
the most thorough trial have been
demonstrated as such. To supply our

estimated, will feed more laboring men

OF cheap meat, say at 10 cents, and
pound of split peas, say cents, will

Let women take their part in public
affairs, as they are beginning to do.
I do not complain of those who OPP
pose woman suffrage. Every real re-
form needs opposition. But I cannot
doubt that the time draws near in
which the peculiar powers of women
are to be used by the community in
helping to remove social misery, to
elevate the poor, to do away with
pauperism, to be guardians to the
wards of the State, to soothe the shat

range the domestic life of hospitals

sick bodies, to infuse humanity and

Certainly not, if knew it,"
The Quaker continued:
''And suppose thee invited me to

offering me thy glass to drink out OF

The Intercepted replied:
Abominable! No! Such an offer
would be most insultingo
The Quaker continued:
'FStill less would thee think of offer

after putting them into thy mouth,

''To do that would be an outrage on
all decency, and would show that
such wretch was out Of the pale of

which thou art preparing to smoke

SKIRTS AND MUDDY STREETS

When men who write for the daily
papers, and for their daily bread. go
about the streets on a rainy day look
ing for inspiration, their motives should
not be misconsuued. There are wet
weather topics for discussion and dry
weather topics. In dry weather, for
instance, one seldom thinks of dress
reform; but rainy days and muddy
crossings seem to draw ones attention
to such matters.
Every day like yesterday gives a
complete series of object lessons in the
advantages of short SKIRTS for sloppy
weather.
There is no earthly reason why they
shouldn't be adopted, and many excel
lent reasons why they should be. The
long skirt is neither clean nor health
full in such weather, and there is some
question as to it's cleanliness on dry and
dusty days.
The short skirt is common sense, and
it is bound to come in the natural
course of woman's progress. It is fully
as modest, too, as is the long skirt car
ried in the regulation manner along a
wet or muddy street.
