The yeast feeding on the materials in the dough fer- ments the sugar. producing carbon dioxid and alcool. The carbon di- oxid accumulated as a gas in small bubbles, and the dough being sticky and heavy, it is not possible for these bubbles to rise up to the sur- face as in ordinary fermented liquids. The gas, therefore, simply collects as small bubbles in the midst of the dough, causing the whole mass to in which dried beans are soaked will expedite the process wonderfully without influencing the flavor of the ans.

The heat of baking drives off the small amount of alcohol and thus expands the bubbles of the gas, caus- ing the dough to rise still more, This makes the bread light and porous. It also makes it more digestible. Yeast plants grow readily in warm temperatures, tween 75 and 90 dogrees. If above: 90 degrees, bacteria are apt to grow, giving the bread undesirable fla¥ors. Thus dough which has been kept too long is apt to sour. Sour bread is due to the development during fer- mentation of certain acids in the dough, which come not from the ac- tion of yeast, but from the growth of bacteria, present either in the yeast or in the flour. Bearing these facts in mina, the housewife who desires good bread should sec that fresh yeast only is employed, a good quality of flour used, and that the dough is mixed in clean utensils. °° After mixing, the jdough should be placed in a clean dish at a temperature of 75 degrees in winter, 'so thet the bread will rise in about eight hours Following these simple rules, little difficulty will be encountered. SOME GOOD RECIPES. Breakfast Stew.--Chop fine whatev- er cold meats remain on hand; add a pint or more of good . soup stock; geason with salt, pepper, and a small pinch of ground cloves. Thicken with browned flour, and pour boiling hot over little squares of nicely toasted bread. Garnish with slices of Icmon, and serve at once. Coffee Rolls.--Work into a quart of M q breed dough a rounded tablespoonful of butter and half a teacup of white sugar; add some dried currants (well washed and dried in the oven), sift some. flour and sugar over them, work into the dough thoroughly, make into small, long rolls, dip them into melted butter, place in the pan, let it rise a short time and bake.

Instead of eternally making pie, why not try making fruit shortcakes for a change? Most every one re gards a strawberry shortcake as one of the luxuries of the strawberry sca- son, but this fruit, delicious as it is, is not "the only pebble on the beach. Let me tell you that stewed pie- plant--pieplant stewed in the fashion the household as recommended-- makes a delicious shortcake. (Pie- plant and tapioca make as good a combination as do peaches and tapi- oca.) Canned peaches, sliced thinly; dricd apricots or nectarines, and prunes, stewed slowly alter long soaking, pincapple and oranges, all these make delicious shortcakes. And the trou- ble of making is no greater than the making of the everlasting pie. To make the crust for a good short- cake, take a quart of flour, three ten- spooniuis of baking powder, one of salt, and two tablespoonfuls of su- : Sift twice, then rub in four tablespoonfuls of shortening--butter is best--and wet with a cup and a half of sweet milk. Butter three pie plates, divide the dough in six parts, rol to.fit the tins, put two on each plate, after spreading the lower with soft butter. Bake in a rather hot oven--one that will bake the crust 'in about ten or twelve minutes. Separ- ate the cakes, put the fruit between and' on top, and send to the table hot. You want about a pint of fruit for each -.double cake. Serve with cream. Fresh fruit should be sugar- ed an hour before using. Try a canned-peach shortcake some day when you require something quick and good for an emergency des- sert. ---------- 4 -- FOR ALL CHILDREN.

When_he was described by a journalist as of hum- ri=s erigin, 'The vagabond, he lies," exclaimed O'Connell, "when he says I'm of Humble origin. My father's family was very ancient, and my mother was a lady of the first rank."' The boast reminds us of Barry Lyn- don. But however distinguished was O'Connell's . ancestry his grandfather and father were cattle dealers in comfortable circumstances, and Dani- el himself was adopted and educated by his uncle Maurice.

NOT BEST OF IRISHMEN. It would not be difficult to find a hundred reater Jrishmen than O'Connell, but it is enough to men- tion two--Burke and Grattan--superi- or to him in intelligence, patriotism and true eloquence. We would even assert that Parnell was, in many re- spects, a greater and a more unselfish agitator than O'Connell. O'Connell's acceptar.cc of the famous..money tri- bute has never been wholly justified. Mr. Macdonagh is content to say that it was an. "income worthily earned and generously paid." But even an agitator may live on less than £13,000 a year, and it is dif- ficult to respect a man who flattered his own extravagance often at the expense of a famine stricken country. Disraeli's roply to him in 18385 was too bitter, but it had in it an ele- ment of justice. ;-- IDISRAELI'S SARCASM. "With regard to your taunts as to my want of _ success in my election contests," Disraeli wrote, "permit me to remind you that I had nothing to appeal to but the good sense of the people. No threatening skeletons canvassed for me: A death's head and crossbones was not blazoned on my banners. My Pecuniary resourc- es, too, were limited. I am not one of those public beggars that we sce swarming with their obtrusive box- es in the chapels of your creed; nor. am I in possession of a princely rev- enue arising from a starving race of fanatical slaves." The words are hard, as we have said, but compare them with O'Connell's attack and you will have no doubt which was the better hand at invective, which had the better case. The truth is, that the vituperation upon which O'Connell prided himself, is his most Hiis 'language was habitually so violent that the worst insult which fell from his lips soon ceased to have either sting or mean- ing; and clearly the habit of abuse was far more reprehensible in one sworn by remorse never again to fight a duel.

He is not afraid of the bughear of professional etiquette which fright- ens even some of the greatest doc tors, As «wn example of this may be men- ticned ome very interesting respect in which he has difiered from th¢ medical men of this country...

Their state ments have been investigated by some of the most important news- papers in this 'country and abroad. No one has ever attempted to dis- pute the facts. But Canadian doc- tors have never cared to admit pub- licly that they have availed them- selves of this discovery. Dr. Lap- poni, however, has availed himself of Dr. Williams' distovery, and has, in Way, had no hesifa- fact publicly "with and endorses the Value of Dr. liams' Pink Pills with an autharity no one will venture to question. TRANSLATION. "Tl certify that I have tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in four cases of the simple anaemia of development. After a few weeks of treatment, the result came fully up to my expecta- tions. For that-reason I shall not fail in the future to extend the use of this laudable preparation, not only in the treatment of other mor- bid forms of the category of anac- mia or chlorosis, but also in cases of neurasthenia an@ the like.

The "simple anaemia of develop- ment" referred to by Dr. Lapponi is of course that tired, languid condi- © dion of young girls whose develop- ment to womanhood is tardy, and whose health, at the period of™ that development, is so often imperilled.

In all cases of anaemia, threatened consumption, decline, in- digestion, kidney diseases and all af fectins of the nerves, as St. Vitus' dance, paralysis and locomotor atax- in, they are commended {o the confi- dence of the public, ane now that they* have received the emphatic en- dorsement of so high a professional authority as Dr. Lapponi, the trust ed physician of the Vatican, they. will be accepted by the medical. and scientific world at their true value. --_----_ Husband--"You say this is vem ison 2?
