•—At the Wedding breakfast in En

expressed a Wish to see lhat mystic

fortne license; the Hridegrdonl had
left’ii: to t\is*11 libst man” to procure it,

snake, which takes the end of its tail in
its mouth and rolls over and over like
a hoop, killing everything it touches
with its venom, and the blow snake,
the breath of Which Is deadly, are fic
tions. As serpents are moving about
they are constantly feeling ahead with
the tongue, and the forward thrust aud
forked appearance of this organ lias
given rise to the false idea that with it
the stinging is done, It is generally
thought that there are a great uunibet
of poisonous snakes. In North Ameri
ca there are but three species—the rat
tlesnake, the copperhead or moccasin
and the coral.
How Condensed Yeast is Made.
A German milling journal gives the
following account of the preparation
Of condensed yeast: As there are some
difficulties In Using either the ordinary
top yeast of brewers, and also In the
bitter taste of the bottom yeastobtained
from distilling spirits, this product is
made partly front both these yeasts and
ftn artificial preparation. In one
tnethod: To ten parts of water, con
taining one per cent, of ammonia carb.,
is added one part of top yeast; this
mixture is macerated for one hour, and
then washed; finally a mixture of one
part of fitid malt meal and two parts of
starch is added, and the whole worked
into a consistent mass. This yeast must
be made every few days, and kept in a
cool place. A better yeast is made thus:
The slime of distillery mash is passed
through a hair sieve to ’ remove the
particles of straw and bran: the filtrate
is allowed to settle, and the sediment is
collected on cloths washed with water,
and the excess of water removed, by
pressure, when the yeast is obtained in
the form of a cake. Of several methods
given for preparing artllical yeast, we
select one: Harley malt is mixed with
three times its quantity of rye malt, and
mashed with some of the residue from
the distillation of brandy; the mash is
then mixed with five per cent of .car
bonate of soda, after which 0.5 per cent,
of sulphuric acid is added, and the
mixture is then fermented with yeast.
A new yeast is now formed, which is
skimmed off, washed with water, and
pressed, with ten per cent, of potato
starch added. In another method,
using brewers’ yeast, rye flour is used,
and carbonate of ammonia. Fine white
bone ash is used in the latter process
with the starch. A so-called dry yeast
has been prepared by very slow strong
pressure. It is said to contain only
fifty per cent, of water, while ordinary
compressed yeast has 60.7 per cent.
Good yeast must be pressed quite
dry, be loose, while not granular;
when placed on the tongue it must re
main like tallow. It should have an
odor of apples—not like cheese;neither
should it have an acid odor or taste.
It should not be mixed with too much
starch, which can be detected by rub
bing a small piece between the fingers,
when the starch will adhere; it should
show afirm fracture.—American Miller.
The Four-Lehved Clover.
There .are several pretty superstitions
connected with the four-leaved clover.
It is an emblem qf good luck, and she
is a fortunate lass who can pluck it and
put it inside her shoe without being
seen by any one. The charm of the
other girl, the true lover’s rival, will be
unavailing, eharm she never so wisely.
She should wish while she is doing it,
and if the whole ceremony is unob
served and the fair operator, refrains
from speaking or looking behind her
she will get her wish, although it may
be to be Pope of Borne. She may also
try the trick “He loves me, loves mo
not” with perfect faith in the result.
She may pull it apart with some one,
as a wishbone is separated, with
the happiest consequences, or she
may think of her lover when she
plucks it and he will not for
get her as long as she preserves
it. If she is generous she will give it
away and her good luck with k. But
let her beware of a five-leaved oldver.
So much more potent- is evil fortune
than the good that one of the ill-omened
variations from the normal condition
of clover leaves will neutralize fifty of
the lnoky ones. Last and Worst, If she
finds a six-leaved clover she will die aD
pld maid.—Tol&lo fllacte,
is Every-Day ktniit.
“And so they fell by thousands—those
annamed demigods!” exclaimed Kos
luth in one of his impassionate orations
made in this oonntry over thirty years
ago. He was speaking of the unselfish
patriotism of nis countrymen as they
aid down their lives ih battle. It wsis
the enthusiastic estimate of a man who
Saw the extremity bf devbtibn, in rued
Vhb . hbVeh had" a thought that they
rould be heralded or even known, but
who, with sublime self-sacrifice, did
their dijty only.
* There are unnamed heroes every
where. They need not be looked for
6n battlefields; they can easily be found
in obscure places, where few' eyes see
them, and no one thinks of celebrating
or heralding them. More often they
are heroines, gentle women who meet
the battle-shock of life and bear it
bravely ant} with smiley .. ,
In a'oountry p*aoe; removed from the
noise of the city, we have been observ
ing one of those unnamed heroines.
The old honse in which she ha- -her
home has stood for more than eighty
years where it is. Once a large family
filled it. It was the homo of plenty,
and its mistress wa« a Lady Bountiful,
dits. master,one whom men praised
fcbildren clung to. But times have
changed and have dispeopled it, and
now many of its rooms are vacant.
Fathers and brothers have gone, the
one to heaven, the others to make
homos elsewhere on earth. -Only the
daughter is left with the widowed
fatothbr'. There is still the pl*<?e, hot
now prosperous as in the olneu time —
It is gone much to decay—to be cared
for: the garden, the cow, the home;
and some one must give the care.
It would be easy for this girl to de
spond and M hake started bticfc frond
responsibility and the work; to have
said, “I cannot do it; it is not a
woman's task.” But so she has not
done. She has taken up the burden
and she bears It cheerily from day
today; She evidently does ndt think
it a burden. Her face is bright
And I hear hFr qhie} slngirig its she
goes on her way round the house. Slid
directs everything, provides for every
thing, but with a sunshine of good na
ture. 1 hear no fretful word when an
noyances press upon her—and 'hat is
almost every day; I hear no whisper
ot complaint, ndr the semblance of an
expression oi weariness or dissatisfac
tion. She does not seem to think that
She ia doing anything put of the usual

Iter Occupations.
, >fptv, there is nothing extraordinary
in all this. There are all over the land
thousands of just such girls. They are
found in every city and hamlet, and
till* girl Is id nOway superidrto any one
bf them. They have widowed mothers
to care for, little brothers and sisters to
look after, a scanty income to make up
by skillful contrivances, they have a
hundred worries and heavy responsibil
ities; but they go singing on their way,
bravely and sweetly doing all that the
hours are demanding, all that the days
are bringing: No murmur escapes theit
lips add no murmur seems to to be in
their hearts. They are simply true
hearted women.
Yet they are heroines, more of hero
ines, when one comes lo measure it all,
than if on some battlefield they helped
the wounded, of by some river risked
.ife to save a drowning child. Battle
fields are not found every day nor ever
every year. These great occasions
come only once in a great while, and
to the most of people never. They can
never display courage or unselfish de
Votion if these are the only fields foi
them. But the ordinary days, as tbej
come and go, make opportunities fm
almost every one to display these high
qualities. Life is made up of small
moments and small things, but great
qualities can be shown in them. The
steady pressure of care, the everlasting
round of humdrum duties, the small
worries and frets of life, make them.
In these few the most of us fail. We
do not see just where the great oppor
tunities open. We do not see there
great, or our opportunities at all.
But what is more noble than to meet
them courageously and cheerfully, to
take up their burden with a song and «
smile? The cheery silence or the quief
song of this girl, the patience and the
steady endeavor, that make up the his
tory of every day, seem in this lighi
heroic.
Perhaps these Hues may fall undei
the eye of some one more than half
weary with the cares that do not cease
to come with every day, with work and
duty whose tread is a perpetual round,
till you are tempted to grow sad and to
feel that life has but small meaning in
it Do notyield to the thought. There
is heroism in your daily bearing and
doing, there is a uobility in your life
when with smiles and rippling songs
you do the work that lies just in fronl
of you. There are unseen eyes that
watch, angelic presences that help, and
—more than all—One whose tenderness
wearies not, and who will by and by
sav: “Well done!” It was said to one
who had been “faithful .in a,very lit
tle.”—Rev. Wm. Aikman, D. D., in
Christian Union.
Herman Servants.
In their own country they are ad
mirable, clean, obliging and wonder
fully hard working, but they lack the
finish of good English servants. One
great merit they certainly possess—
though orderly in their work, yet if the
daily routine is interrupted, they are
not utterly upset and demoralized. Out
servant kept eight rooms clean, and
very clean, never a spe -k of dust to be
seen, cooked for herself and the land
lady, fetched our dinner from the restau
rant, carried np to our etage (the
second) all the wood and water that
was required, scrubbed the stairs and
passage every week, and yet was
always readv to run a message or post
a letter, and, dressed in her best, fre
quently went with me to the evening
concert, and came back to fetch
me at ten o'clock. She was nevet
in bed till eleven, and was at
work by six, neat and smiling,
with no shade of the weary, jaded
look so sad to see in an English
“slavey.” It is a mistake to suppose
that wages are very low in Germany:
£20 is a very usual sum for a cook, and
one servant wo bad in our lodging
when she married had £40 in the sav
ings .bank. The economy in a German
household is that the servants live very
plainly, and one does the work that
with us would be divided between two
or three. The feeling of attachment
and interest in- “the honor of the
family,” observable in Scotcji servants,
is very general, and without undue
familiarity German servants are al
lowed to share in the joys and sorrows
of their employers. The men servants
are strikingly free from the insolent
swagger of “Jeames,” and show the
same simplicity of nature as their mas
ters. I remember a trifling incident
which greatly amused me. When I
was going to an audience at a royal
Sohloss, as I got out of the carriage a
bow of my sash caught in the door and
was torn off. “O, what a pity, Gnadiges
Fraulein!” exclaimed one of the flun
kies who was assisting me. “Never
mind, I can nin it on!” and, producing
a pin, he earned out bis promise with
a neat-handedness worthy of an old
soldier, which no doubt he was. —Tem

—The leaking of milk from 6Ws'

cows three times a day with this ob
ject Ip view. Another successful and
simplv way is to apply a small dab of
collodion to the end of that teat imme

will prevent dll leakage'and is easily

—In selecting flour first look to the
color. If it is white with a yellQwish |
Straw-color tint, buy it. If it is white
frith a bluish cist Or with black specks
In it, refuse it. Next examine its ad- i
hesiveness. Wet and knead a little
of it between your lingers; if it works ■
soft and sticky* it is poor. Then throw
a little lump'of dried flour against a1
smooth surface: if it falls like dried i
powder, it is bad. Lastly, squeeze somo
of the flour tightly in your hand; if it
retains the shape given by the pressure
that, too, is a bad sigti. It is safe to
buy flour that will stand all these tests.
These modes are given by all old flour
dealers, and they pertain to a matter

Salt for the Throat.
In these (lavs when diseases of the
throat prevail, I would ailviso those
afflicted to try my remedy—common
salt.
For the past two years I have suffered
more or less with a very disagreeable
pricking sensation in my throat, as
though it had splinters in it, and fancied
at some time or other I had swallowed
a pin or a lawyer's fish story, and ono
of the bones had remained sticking in
my throat. Determined to ascertain,
if possible, the cause of my trouble, I
called to my aid my medical works,
which are by no means limited, and
under the head of throat diseases found
it to be a laryngitis, which alarmed me
not a little. A friend advised me to
use strong salt water as a gargle,
which I have done the past, two months,
and mv throat is well. I put a heap
ing teaspoonful of coase salt (Liver
pool) in a tumbler of water and gargled
my throat thoroughly three times a
day, before each meal, and the last
thing on going to bed, and in addition
to that, doubled a linen handkerchief
twice, four thicknesses, wet it with the
salt water and pinned it around my
throat, placing over that two thick
nesses of dry llannel.
A friend told me that she always
broke up a cold in that way, and by
sniffing a little up her nose.
The gargle is not unpleasant to the
taste. I also use it diluted to bathe my
eyes. It Is very strengthening, and if
it is good for the throat it must be good
for the eyes also.
For the benefit of those who have not
a medical work in.their library I will
copy in brief from mine the symptoms
of chronic laryngitis. “It often com
mences with a slight hoarseness and Ir
ritation of the throat, frequent hem
ming or raising of scanty mucus and a
slight cough. As the disease progresses
these symptoms inorease. In the ear
lier stages the voice is uncertain and
often breaks in singing or loud speak
ing. Later, ulceration takes place,
generally marked by pain in the throat,
as if from a sharp-pointed body; the
discharge becomes offensive; portions
of lymph, cartilage and even ossilic
matter are emitted. There is usually
soreness of the larynx on pressure and
from inhalation of cold air. It forms
the so-called ministers’ sore throat, and
presents every grade of severity down
to the m<?st inveterate forms of laryn
geal consumption.—Herald of Health.
i
Cisterns and EgK-Shells.
Manv writers have given good ad
vice about how to boild cisterns for
storing water. All ape right. Still I
have a cistern which has done good
service for about twenty years, yet does
not fill any of theirstated requirements.
Instead of being round it is long and
narrow, so as to be covered with flag
stones, the bottom being qyite narrow.
It is dug in a soil hard and firm, the
sides were made smooth and solid by
hammering tough clay into cavities,
and then one-half inch coating of ce
ment well laid on completed its compe
tency for holding tfater.
It has never been wholly empty ex
cepting when cleared for cleaning, and
it seems as perfect still as when first
made. I know several round cis
terns cemented on the clay show
ing a very uneven surface when fin
ished—projecting stones being Jeft in
place and merely coated over with the
general lining of cement—and yet up
complained of as effective reservoirs.
A regular egg-shape is no doubt the
strongest—the thin shell of cement ia in
proportion like the shell of the egg.
A good idea of the power of a vaulted
arch to tv ist pressure can be gained
or gi' by trying the two ends with
nairas of the bands; they may be
placed between the knees fo* increase
of steady force. The hands will give
way before the egg, if the pressure is
not sidewise. Tnis will convince an
experimenter that, if cement alone is
not to be trusted, a concave fonr-ineb
brick lining laid in cement anil coated
with it will resist all usual outside pres
sure.— Cor. K. T. Tribune.
