r!GESTlBLE BREAD.
That Made from Finely Ground Flour
Said to Be Best.

Said to BE Best.
1t is the general theory among
the majority of people that graham
bread is far more digestib1e than
that made of -four thoroughly "bolt-
ed" or separated from the bran and
middlings. Such does not, appear
to be the fact, however, if we are to
credit experiments of the depart
Ment of agriculture.
Digestion experiments were care
fully carried cut with bread from
each of the several kinds of -four
and the proportions of protein as
simulated and rejected by the sys-
tenn carefully determined. The
whole wheat hours may afford a
greater proportion of the mineral
nutritious, however, as this phase
of the subject was not studied, but
as far as the available protein fats,
carbohydrates and energy are con-
cerned the patent roller flours are
preferable. According to the chem.
ical analysis of graham, entire wheat
and standard patent fours milled
from the same lot of hard Scotch
Fife spring wheat the graham -four
contained the highest and the pat
ent flour the lowest percentage of
total protein. The results of the
digestion experiments with those
fiours showed that they were inval-
liable in the reverse order-that is,
the standard patent roller -four af-
forded the greatest amount of as
similable protein, while the graham
and whole wheat afforded lesser
amounts.
This paradox, that the -four con-
tanning the smallest proportion OF
protein should afford the greatest
proportion available for digestion
is explained by the coarseness OF
the particles of the whole wheat va
rieties. The bran and germ of these
fours resist the action of the diges-
tive juices to great degree and con
sequently pass through the system
unaltered. On the other hand, the
finely ground condition of the pat
ent flour improves its digestibility.
1t vas also shown that the addi.
ton of wheat starch to -four did not
improve its breadmaking qualitie:
or the size of the loaf. The most
desirable -four for breadmaking ap
pears to be one produced by blend
ing hard and soft wheat fours, in
which the undesirable properties o.
the gluten of each are counterbal
anced.-Bakers' Review.

rhs MusIeIan and HIs Notes.

Once upon time a very mean
man employed musician to play
sweet music for him.
After some time the player asked
his employer for compensation for
his services and was put off with a
fair promise. Then, after a time,
he asked again, with a similar re-
suit. Then a third time he asked
and insisted on receiving his pay.
did you not hear me promise to
pay you ?" asked the man.
"Yes," answered the player, 81 did

Dogs as Horses.

"In Belgium all the dogs are
horses" is the way in which the
Irishman described the fact. Ii
comes as rude surprise to an Eng
lishman the first time he sees a
heavy cart with an equally heavy
market woman comfortably squat
ting in it drawn by a dog. And
when he finds out that the streets
of the old Flemish cities swarm
with dog drawn vehicles of all sorts,
sizes and shapes he rapidly concludes
that he has entered land of cruelty
where man hath no bowels of COM
passion for the dumb brute The
milkwoman, the butcher, the fish
monger, the general dealer, all con-
vey their goods through the streets
in dog carts. Sometimes a single
animal represents the tradesman's
wealth in dogflesh; more often we
see pair cheerfully plodding along;
occasionally the load is heavy
enough to tax the energies of three
of these patient animals.

Metals That Cost.

One of tie most curious Of the
rare metals is vanadium, which
melts at 1000 degrees F. and is not
attacked by either mnriatic acid or
nitric acid. 1t increases the ductil-
ity of copper and iron and would
be very valuable to electro metal
lurgists OH account of the properties
named if the price of it were not so
l.igh, $592 pound. It's chief use
at present is for coloring glass.
Uranium is likewise employed in
the making of glass and porcelain,
though it is expensive, being worth
$50 pound.
Iridium is valued today at $3.50 q
pound and is the hardest metal
known. 1t is used for tips of gold
pens. Palladium costs $482 a pound
and is employed for astronomical
instruments.
Lithium, which is quoted at 81
100 a pound, is prescribed by doc
tors for rheumatism-its salts, that
is to say-but no use has been found
for it outside of medicine.

An Ancient Viola Discovered.

A viola de gambia which is believed by
its owner and his friends to have been
made in Italy in 1884. and to be the old
est instrument of its kind in this coun-
try, was recently found in the garret OF
DR.. John ]. Orton's residence, at Lake
Vile, Conn, by some carpenters who
were repairing the house. The instru-
ment had lain there for more than a
quarter of century and the doctor had
forgotten its existence.
The viola belonged to his father and
his fathers father and when his father
died and the property was apprised he
bought it for 81 and slowed it away in
the garret. Now he is showing it to his
friends as an interesting heirloom.
The old viola is fairly well preserved
for its 31S years, but is cracked in sew
eral places and is minus bridge and bow
and strings. 1t measures four feet eight
inches from the top of the scroll to the
rest at the bottom OF the body. The body
is three feet long. 1t is two feet wide
at the bottom and nineteen inches at
the top, and is seven inches deep.
