Sir Henry .Beesemer's great inven-
tions have won for hien a world-wide
lame, and the honor of knighthood
recently conferred upon him by Queen
Victoria only adds at:other laurel to
the crown lie has already worn. The
Emperor of Austria conferred upon hirn
the rank of a Knight Commander of
the Order of Francis Joseph, and the
late Emperor of the French offered to
his acceptance the Grand Craig of the
Legion of Honor, in consequence of a
report from the jurors of the Univer-
sal Exhibition of 1867 that his inven-
tion was of exceptional merit. He has
:also been the recipient of the Albert
Gold Medal, presented to him by the
hand of the Prince of Wales. Mr.
13essemer is said to have taken out
more than one hundred patents, and
has paid to the orown as mush as
81.0,000 for stamps alone. It was in
1356 that he read before the British
Association at Cheltenham his first
paper on the manufacture of malleable
iron and steel, which has made him

They have a new game in Virginia

The Chronicle of that city says it is

has a pair of legs, a big club and a
pot can play it. "In the first place
you lay an earthen pot on the grass,
next you blindfold k lady and give her a

and' when she gets on to the patch of

vigorously with her club, generally mis-
sing it by about twelve yards. The

EMIT POINTS 1N BREAD IZAK
IN°
14e sum up briefly eight essential
points in bread.tnakiug, as gathered
from recent contributions to the .l"area.
.Iortrrral on the subject, and formed
from the inner editorial consciousness,
1. Good wheat flour. Some varie-
ties of wheat, such are deficient in glu-
ten, will not make gond flour.
2. A god millet to grind the wheat.
The bread maker should be sure to find
the good miller.
3. The wheat should not be ground
when very dry. Choose a "wet spelt"
for the grinding.
4. The flour should be sifted before
using, separate the particles.
5. Good yeast. This is made from
new hops. Stale hops will not, with
uer'tainy, make lively yeast.
6. Thorough kneading. After it has
had enough, knead a while longer.
7. Do not let the dough rise too
mach. Nine out of every ten bread -
makers in this country let their bread
"rise" until its sweetness has been de-
stroyed.
8. Tho oven can be too hot as well as
too cool. The "happy medium" must
be determined upon and selected.

THE CUSTOM OF HAVING BRIDE
CAUE.
It is not generally known that the
custom of having bride cake, without
which, even in this day, any wedding
within the domain of civilization would
be counted as incomplete, is derived
from the most solemn of the three con-
nubial oeremnnies observed by the
ancient Romans. This ] was called
co)lfarreat o, the other ceremonies beiug
coe)ni,tio, the pretended purchase by
which the parties bought one another
with a bit of coin, and uses, the con-
summation or taking home of the bride.
The latter two aro alone mentioned by
Cicero, which shows that the first form
had grown absolute before this time.
Confarreatio was performed by the
chief priest or priest of Jupiter ; a for.
mula was prououced in the presence of
ten witueases, and tho man and woman
ate otasalted wheaten bread, throwing
part of it on the sacrifice, which was
that of a sheep. The ware was termed
far or pannis jarreus (corn or wheaten
bread); whence the name of the cere-
mony. By this form the woman was
said to be possessed of her husband by
the sacred laws, and became a partner
of all his substance and aimed rites,
those of the Penates, es well as Lares.
Il he died intestate and without child-
ren, she inherited all his properity. If
she bad children, she received an equal
share with them. Tito offspring of this
form of marriage were designated as
patron,. or matrim.i, from whom were
chosen priests and priestesses, especial-
ly the priest of Jupiter and the vestal
virgins. The Emperor Tiberius want-
ed three priests of this true lineage,
but could not get them owing to the
general disuse of the ceremony in his
reign. C'onfarreat'io was dissoluble
only by a form of divorce, elisfarveatio,
regarded as an equivalent in solemnity.
That bride cake is a relic of confer-
reatio is evident from the fact that un-
til two centuries since -it was made of
wheat or barley, without fruit. We
should think that, with the present re-
vival of, and love for, the old, the young
woman of classic culture and taste,
would insist that the btideeake should
be of the serious and sacred character
of the occasion.
A GENEROUS MAN.
Thrift is one of the Iowa virtues. A
Davenport clergyman was called upon
to marry a couple one night last week.
They were nicely dressed, in their
twenties, and evidently well-to-do,
