IMPORTANT POINTERS.

The kneading motion should be light
and elastic. 1t has two-fold object,
to stretch the gluten and to make the
bread lighter in color.
Bread must be thoroughly baked to
kill the yeast plant and rupture the
starch cells.
Large loaves must go into slow
oven and be in ten minutes before
browning. A too hot oven means a
heavy crust, which is non-c conductor,
and prevents the heat from reaching
the centre. Small loaves should go
into quick oven.
German bread with kimmel seeds is
a good luncheon bread.
OF course there is but cne sort of
bread for dinner, 'just bread"
A mixture that pours is thin batter.
One that drops from a spoon is thick
batter. While mixture thick enough
to knead is dough.

flour resembles it, and may be made

GEN. THOMAs's LETTER.

Great interest Ia attached 10 Rich.
mond to letter discovered in the ar
chives OF the State Capitol, written by
General George H. Thomas, OF South
hampton, the famous Union soldier, to
Governor John Letcher, indicating the
purpose OF General Thomas to resign
from the U. 8. army In case Virginia
should secede. 1t has been often stated
that such was General Thomas's pur-
pose, Governor Letoher and Fitzhugb
Lee being among them, but this letter
over General Thomas's own signature
seems to set the matter at rest. The
wife of General Thomas was northern
woman, and her influence is supposed
to have caused him to cast his lot with
the Union. The letter was written
from New York hotel, under date OF
March IL, 1861. 1t is as follows:
