When professors of organic chemis-
try came to examine Mrs. Sharpless'
machine made bread, they reported that
it was so per cent more nourishing
than bread made in the ordinary way
because it facilitated the bursting of
the starch cells. They told her this
after they had laughed at the minia-
ture model of her machine, made, wo-
man fashion, of bits of pasteboard
sewed together. She cut out the pieces,
and her daughter, college graduate,
sewed them together. But the real ma
chine did absolutely what she claimed
for it, just the same. The small ma
chine makes ten loaves of bread in
three minutes. A large one-such as the
United States government has bought
for the navy-mixes 1900 loaves in the
same time.
When Mrs. Sharpless was girl at
the Friends school, her Quaker teach

STRAIN ON THE SOCIETY WOMAN.

The influences which undermine the
health of the society girl are those
which act upon her nervous system,
such as her money anxieties, her lack
of time to carry out her ambitious prof.
ects, her great exertion Gf she is new
to society not only to achieve her po-
sition-to mount the social ladder-but
to become acquainted with all the social
properties and actions to carry out her
new role, all of which bear heavily
upon her nervous system and tend to a.
nervous breakdown.
The society woman turns night into
day. The late hours which entertain-
ments, operas and balls occasion are
not in themselves injurious, provided
the sleep is made UP, built is no: oossi-
BILE to burn the candle at bot nds
without serious injury to the hea.i
The bed demands very nearly not
quite one-third of the twenty-four

the ravages made by the wear and tear
Of life.
Nerves, glands, organs and muscles
are renewed by sleep and prepared to
resume their activities anew.
1t is said of even inanimate things
that the atoms and molecules of which
they are composed need intervals of
cessation from the work to which they
are applied. The complex being, with
her delicate nervous adjustment-the

ply cannot keep away from the shop

mania of buying. Buy she must, any

University of Pennsylvania. Tt doubles
the digestibility of bread made by 1t.
and that is it's second great merit.
One Of the most grievous sins of or
binary white bread is that 1t carries
into the stomach and through the di-
gestive tract myriads of unburst and
consequently undigested starch cells
which ought to have been dextrinized,
as the chemists call it-that is, convert
ed into dextrin or sugar of starch
and thus made to contribute to the
nourishment Of the body. The ordi-
nary kneading and pounding of bread
dough make it yet more tough and
make the bursting of the starch cells
yet more difficult. Mrs. Sharpless is
said to have experimental two years in
order to get a perfect health bread. She
took slice after slice of ordinary bread
and analysed it under the microscope.
She passed polarized light through 1t
so as to see its constituents. She found
in each slice a large number of the
tiny, shadowy crosses that indicate
starch cells, showing these to be yet in
the untransformed state.
She conceived the idea of machine
which should mix the bread very
lightly and rapidly thus not packing
the starch particles. AS now exhibited,
it consists of a box or tank in the mid
die of which are two rollers armed with
knives that fit into each other doveta1l
fashion and work spirally. At the top
Of the tank is a perforated pan for sift-
ing the -four through. To use the ma
chine a sufficient quantity of warm
milk and water and other needed ingre-
dents are poured into the bottom of
the tank. Next -four is put into the
sieve at the top, and the rollers are set
to revolving by the turning of handle.
In three minutes the bread is mixed.

Mrs. Ella Kicker of Iowa offers to
housekeepers the wooden hand" to
which she gives the additional name Of
sanitary mixer. 1t is claimed to be an
angel in the household in the work of
stirring and beating things in the GU
linary department, such as eggs, but
ter sauce and cake. Mrs. Ellen Wells
Phillips of Tennessee has devised q
jelly bag that will hold boiling hot
fruit and bear squeezing without burn
ing or staining the hands. A picture
hanger that does away with the use of
a stepIadder is yet another woman's
useful device.
But for the labor Of the Boston Ed
vocational and Industrial union in
bringing together these feminine in
ventions at the Mechanics fair women
would not have had opportunity thus
to perceive in one view the progress
their sex is making in housekeeping
betterment. One of the women's exhib-
it's was a model kitchen, with sanitary
flooring, in which there are no corners
or angles at the Joining of the walls,
the union being effected by a curved
surface easy to keep clean. This idea
has already been utilized in some hos
pitfalls.
Finally an object lesson that ought
to strike in was afforded in the exhibit
by a philanthropic woman of room
overloaded with cheap and tawdry or
namentation. A placard near by asked
the question, Does bric-a-brac give
you enough real pleasure to pay for
the time spent in busting it?"

~HE Women's Educational and
Industrial union of Boston
III some time ago offered a prize
of $50 for the best household
labor saving device invented by wo-
man. Now, the Boston ladies' union
could not have done a better thing, for
the present system of housekeeping even
in America is two centuries behind the
times. Whatever labor saving inven-
tions have struggled in here and there
among the clumsy, old fashioned hand
methods have been mostly made by
men, as, for instance, the carpet sweep
er and the sewing machine.
The offer Of the Boston organization
has brought out number of women
devised machines that are thoroughly
encouraging. man, mot woman,
has just written an article to prove
that the separate kitchen must go, just
as the separate loom and bake oven
have gone. Some of the exhibits and
inventions in the womens department
Of the Mechanics fair in Boston look
as if lit were women themselves who
will give at least the old fashioned
kitchen its final bowling out. The Ed
ucational and Industrial union ladies
themselves took charge of the depart
ment allotted to their sex at the fair
with the object of really bringing out
Whatever ID pSIIllStlGI1Ily with WLllS

The fifty dollar prize was awarded
for the breadmaking machine invented
by Mrs. Lydia Coale Sharpless, Phil
adelphia lady belonging to the gentle
Quaker folk. Mrs. Ellen I'll. Richards
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
,nology who knew of the machine, was
instrumental in bringing it before the
public at the fair. The chief merits Of
this invention are two-f1rst, it mixes
the bread rapidly and thoroughly by
machinery, thus avoiding the unpleas-
ant hand manipulation and kneading.
Considering what too many bakeries
lack in the item of cleanliness, this
abolishing OF the hand mixing is of it
self sufficient to immortalize Mrs.
Sharpless' contrivance. But it does
much more than that, according to the
verdict of the chemical faculty Of the

ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

The meaning of orange blossoms IL

sent splendid orange tree as a gift to
a Spanish monarch. Every one coveted
a slip, but the king refused the boon to
all.
One day branch, with all its glossy
leaves and starry blossoms, was acci-
dentally broken off, and the gardener
gave it to his pretty daughter who was
the betrothed of a humble artisan.

seemed impossible. In exchange for
the coveted treasure a foreign ambas-
sador offered her a sum sufficient for
her dowry. Overjoyed, she accepted.
