Good Bread.

Scald tire cups of fresh milk and set
away to cool. Sift six quarts bread
flour into the bread raiser, or large
stone jar, well creased inside and
warmed. If your flour is kept in cold
room, be sure to warm it thoroughly
before using; dampness or chill viii
spoil the yeast. Dissolve the yeastcake
in cup of warm water; put one hand
full of salt and two of sugar into the,
-four and rub in a tablespoon of lard.
Pour the dissolved yeastcake and wa
ter into the warm milk and mix the
dough. Stir with a spoon until the
flour is all mixed, then finish with the
hand, kneading carefully all the flour
in, kneading until round and smooth
and not too hard. Cover close and tight
with warm cloth and set to rise in a
warm place over night. Let the bread
rise light the first time, or it will never
be good. Put into the pans and let
rise, and bake in an oven rather hot at
first, and let the heat diminish. Bake

Flowers Not Known to Fame.

Botany, so much less ostentatious
than her sister sciences, has latterly
steadily advanced in manner not so
generally appreciated, but no less
marked. Hippocrates, the father Of
physicians, writing about 400 B. c.,
knew but 234 species or kinds Of
plants. A comparatively few years
later Theophrastus, one of the first
real botanists whose name has come
down to us, had increased the num-
Der to only 500. In II A. D. Dioscor-
ides had gained but little, to which
Pliny in turn contributed 200 more.
Then, for nearly fifteen centuries,
practically nothing was accomplished
until Ray, who wrote between 1885
and 1904, enumerated and described
1925 species.
In the early portion Of this century
Person, De Candolle and Stendel cata-
logued 10000, including Towering and
lower plants, number raised by Lind
ley 1S45) to 1887. And now, after
the work Of Duchartie and Durand,
with new species being published
every year, the total is estimated by
experts as little short of 100000
