A week later tho smoll of tho corpse invoked a search and discovery. The girl was acqnittod as sho was evidently out of her senses when tho crime was committed. Sho went to Denver and perhaps to Han Francisco, and after a wild, troubled lifo, brought np in Des Moines, where the died of delirium tremens. . How to Eat Bread. Among the societies which have sprung into existence and muue rapiu way m England is a Leaane that believes in brown bread, properly mode, and that agiuiies us mailing anu uamug km . . inir. bv example and procopt. upon the acceptance of the children of the poor, The society calli itself tho Bread Reform League; and ita members energetically labor to bring borne to the mind of the , nublio tho conviction that our ordinary Enelish disposal of bread material is wasteful and diototically foolish, owing to the rejection as human loou oi certain nutritious parts of tbo wheat. Lot us now definitely doscribowhat that "right thing" is. We are propared to demand of it that it should combine the digestibility of white bread with tho nutritive quality of whole-meal bread, whilo shoring the disadvantages of neither. First, as to its nourishing mopertios. The wheat meal bread that we desire to soo substituted for the only semi nutritious article now in voguo among tho poor is stated to bo of snob, elllcioncy as food that a shilling's worth of it will provide an ample meal for nine grown up persons. Nothing is discarded in preparation of the wheat inoul except tho innutritiouH, outmost skin oi me grain Tho five layers of cells containing valu able mineral matters aro all retained. Next, as to its digestibility. Tho superior digestibility of wheat meal bread over other wholo-meal broad de ponds upon two characteristics special to itself. First, its freedom from tho hard, obiectionablo. and useless outer skin second, the finoncss to which the meal composing it is ground. These two characteristics distinguish it from all other brown broads made in England, and insure its complete wholosomencss. In ordinary brown bread, as in wholo-meal bread, there exist "split , chaff, awns, and other bristly processes, besides, in some cases, debris of various kinds, and bran flukos." Theso matters are what cause tho unsuitubility of such bread for the ordinary diotof tho majority. Wheat meal bread is made from meal ireea from theso irritants, the grain having been subiected to a process of scraping. called decortication.before boing ground. The other rosult the fineness of the ground meal is obtained by the nso of suitable steel mills. Only in a stoel mill is the fino grinding of the harder parts of, tho grain possible without damags to the quality of tho grain. By tho use of a well-adapted steel mill, tho grain is cut or chopped into minute fragments of a granular form. Miss iatos, the earliest agitator iu the matter, observod, whon traveling in Sicily, that the laboring classes there live healthily and work well upou a vegetable diet, the staple article of which is bread made of well-ground wheat- moal. Nor are tho Sicilians by any means tho only peoplo so supported. "Tho Hindus of the Northwestern Prov- iuce can walk fifty or sixty miles a day with no other food than 'chapatties made of the whole meal, with a littlo 'gheo.' or Galain butter." Turkish and Arab porters, capablo of carrying bur dens of from four hundred tu six hun dred pounds, live on bread only, with the occasional additiou of fruit and vegetables. The Spartans and ltomans of old times lived their vigorous lives on bread mndo of wheaten raoal. In northern as well as southern climatos.wo find the samo thing. In llussia.Swedeu, Scotland and elsewhere, the poor live chiefly on bread, ulways mado from soaio wholo meal wheat, oats or rye; ond tho peasantry of whatever climato.so fed, always comparo favorably with our South English poor, who, iu conditions of indigouce precluding thorn from ob taining Biiflioicnt meat food, starve, if nottodoatb, at loast into sickliness, on tho white bread it is our modern English habit to prefer. Whito broad alone will not support auimal lifo. Bread mado of tho wholo grain will. Tho experiment has been tried in Franco by Magendio. Dogs wore tho subjects of tho trial; and evory euro was taken to equalizo all tho other conditions, to proportion the quantity of food given in each caso to the weight of the animal cxporimontcd,upon, and so forth. The rosult was' suHieiontly marked. At tho end of forty days, tho dogs fed solely ou whito bread diod. Tho dogs fed on breud mado of the whole grain remaiued vigorous, healthy, and well nourished. Whother uu originally healthy human being, if fed solely on white bread for forty days, would likewise die at the end of that time, romains of oonrse a question. Still, it is not a bread diet, as com pared with a mixed diet of bread and other nourishing things, that tho League is advocating. Tho comparison lies bo- tween a diet consisting mainly of whito bread ond one consisting mainly oi wheat meal bread. For hero lies tho only choico in tlio caso of a largo number of our country men. Tho poor who inhabit the crowded ollys of our English cities cannot afford good milk, meat or eggs. lliey must live principally on bread. And, whether they know it or not, the ques'.ion comes near to being a matter of lifo and death to them, what manner of bread it is they cat. Mennwhilo, their wan, stunted children, freqaent deformity, and early othlessness witness directly to hard ship in tho particular form of deficient bono nourishment. In tho interests of Biich, and on the part of thoso who con cern themselves iu the lifo struggles, tho question deserves consideration Meanwhile, it is not a "question, but a fact, that rickets, decay and crumbling of teeth, and tho flagging vitality which so constantly tesults in excessive doiuaud for alcoholic stimulant) are prevalent exactly when and where, on tho bread-reformers' theory, we should expect to find them so. It is remarkable that tho dental profession, with its largo manufacturing interest, has sprung into existence only since the bread in common uso has been deprivod of lime and phosphatio salts. . . . The stress that is laid on tho superior palat- abloness of white bread is ill considered. Other bread is palntublo elsowhere, used to be palatable in England once. Whito bread came into general nse in bomb Britain, and was changed in the scale of public opinion from the luxury it had otherwise been into a necessary of life less than a century and a half ago. It had its opponents at the outet. An essay exisU in the British Museum, written by a gentleman of last century, in which the writer goes so far as to aay that white bread kills more than the sword! That essayist had strong opinions as to the dietetio foolishness of whito bread, but he wrote in vuin for his gen eration. White bread was to have its day. It was not originally adopted, of course, on tho dietetic merits, but on ac count of its delicacy of appearanco and flavor. The Nineteenth Century. Plijlog It Fine on a Loue Mourner. "Haven't got a few rosos growing in your back yard, I reckon," suggested a seedy man to tho cashier, "a few little faded roses, with a bit oleaf and a string to tie em np with ? "Haven't got any back yard to begin with." replied tho cashier. "Not even a little bit of a pink or blue boll or forget-me-not ?" sighed the seedy man anxiously. "Nothing of tho kind," growled the cashier. "Don t keep 'em. "Couldn't you get ine a dandolion or a bunch of graBh?" entreated the seedy man. "Just a little something to put on a child's grave. A plaintain leaf, a sprig ef parsley, just a cabbage leaf, even. 1 want something green for an infant's tomb. Can't you find me a little some thing to docorato my baby's grave ?" "Been dead long ?" asked the cashier, wiping his eyes. . "Throe days," sobbed tho bereaved. "If I conld only get a wisp of straw or a balo of hay, to show that I hadn't en tirely forgotton that lone grave." "Tuko this," roared the cashier, tear ing the nosegay from his buttonholo. "God bless you," ejaculated the seedy man; "God bless you and yours. Do you think it will koep whilo I walk to the cometo.y? It is only four miles." "Walk, man!" clamored the man with misty eyes. "Walk! you must ride to that lonely grave und doposit your offer ing of love. Hero, take this dollar, and may the sweetness of your grief lust long after the poignancy has boon worn off an the grindstono of time." Tho seedy man thanked him with streaming cheeks, but that night he was frozen out of a jackpot because the dol lar was a counterfeit, and plugged at that. X Novel 8 team Englue. A new steam engine, in which the use of steam is economized, and in which a constant equal pressure of strain upon the driving shaft is secured, has recently been patented. The invention is an lm proveuient in the class of steam engines, having more than ono movablo piston working in the same cylinder, each of which is separately connected by the crank shaft. The cylinder of the engine has three pistons, tho rod of tho central piston passing through the center of the inner piston. The rods of the outer piston pass through the inner piston, and aro secured thereto at equal distances from tho rod of the center piston. Thoso rods also pass through, but are not at tached to tho central piston; and by this construction the movement of this piston is steadied, and it will be seen that tho movemonts of the outer and inner pistons aro mado synchronous. Whon steam is admitted through the port between the cuulral and outer pistons, thoy will be forcod apart in opposite directions until the exhaust port allows the escape of the steam, when tho steam is admitted be tween tho central and inner pistons, and tho central piston will be moved back, tho central piston moving in ono direc tion whilo tho end pistons move in the opposito, and as the cranks of the cen tral nnd end pistons are set opposite, it will bo seen that by tho movements of tho three pistons the crank shaft is at the samo moment pushed and pulled iu op posite directions, and tho strain upon the crank shaft is equal in both directions. IJaklag Powi'er. An Illinois merchant who was taking baking powder in bulk from a Chicago firm called at headquarters tho other day to say that something was wrong with tho goods. '1 don t thiuk so, was tho reply; "wo mako the best articles that aro sold in tho West." "I think wo ought to havo a more per fect understanding," continued tho dealer. "Now, then, vou adulterato be fore you sond to me, then I adulterate before I ship, then the retail dealer adul terates before ho sells and the consumer can't bo blamed for growling. I wantod to soa if we couldn t agree on some schedulo to bo followed." "What do you mean?" , "Why, supposa you put in ten per cent, of chalk, then I put in twonty per csut. of whiting, then tho retailer puts in thirty per cent, of flour; that gives the customer forty per cent, of baking pow der, and unless ho's a born hog he'l be satisfied. You soo if you adulterate fifty per cent, on tho start, and I adulterate as much ns both together, it's mighty hard for tho convumer to tell whether ho is investing iu baking powder or putty; we must give him something for his money, if it's only chalk," The Worbily Deai-on. A Hudson river farmer who wanted a better horso than ho possessed, drove into Yonker3 one day with his nag, and huntiug up a certain citizen who had the sort of horso ho wanted, the farmer stated his desire to exchange and added: 'I understand that you are a Chnstain man.' "Yes sir " "Belong to tho Baptist Cnurch?" "Yes." "Ono of tho deacons, I believe?" "I am." A trado was made ond the farmer drovo homo with tho new equine. But in the conrso of three days ho returned and began: "Seo here, deacon, who kind of a man are yon? You never told me that that horse I got of yon had spavins and ring bones and heaves? ' No, I believe I didn't." Well you are a pretty Christian, you are." "My friend," placidly replied tbe good man, "if yon can nod it anywhere in the Good Book that a deacon in the Baptist Church must poiut out the defects in his own horse where a sinner is too ignor ant to see for himself, I'll admit my sin and trade back. Come in and we'll hunt for the passage." "Pa, what is an employment agent?" Why, my son, he is a man who is very anxious to get work for others to do. He himself doesn't want any." The bailor and hli Flower. Mr. Shopherd, the conservator of the Botanical Gordons at Liverpool, gives the following account of the introduction of that elegant flowering shrub, the fuchsia, into English green-honses and parlor windows: Old Mr. Lee, a nurseryman and gar dener, near London, well known fifty or sixty years ago, was ono day showing ms variegacou treasures to a irienu, who suddni'ly turned to him and declared: "Well, you have not in your collomion a prettier flower than I saw this morning at wapping. "No? and pray what was this I'hicnlx like?" "Why, the plant was elegant ami the flowers hung in rows, like tassels, from the pondant branches; their color the richest crimson, and in the center a fold of doep pnrple. Particular directions being demanded and givon, Mr. Lee postod oQ to Wap ping, when he at once perceived that the plant was new in that part of the world. Ho saw and admired it. Entering the house ho said: "My good woman, this is a nice plant. I should like to buy it." "I could not sell it for no tnonoy. for it was brought mo from the West Iudics by my husband, who has now lest again, and 1 must keep it for his sake. . "But I must have it." "No. sir." "Hore"' emptying his pocket "hero are gold,, silver and copperl" (This stock was something inoro than eight guineas). "Wella-dayt but this is a power of money, euro and snre! ""lis yours, anil tho plant is mine, And ray good damo, you shall have ono of tho young ones I rear to keep for your husband s sake. "Alack-aluok!" "You shall, I say." A coach was called, in which was safely deposited our florist and his seem ingly dear purchase. His first work was to pull off and destroy every vestige of blossom and bud. The plant was divid ed into cuttings, which were forcod in bark-bods and hot-bedH, and were after ward redivided and subdivided. Evory effort was used to multiply the plant. By the commencement of the noxt flowering season, Mr. Lee was tho dolightod pos sessor of threo hundred fuchsia plants, all giving promise of blossom. The two which opened first were removed to his show liouso. A Indy camo. "Why, Mr. Leo ray dear Mr. Loo where did you get this most charming flower?" "Hem!
