Its text was as follows: "We, the undersigned, desire to express our admiration for the most beamtiful anu considerate young lady, name not known, -who, by removing her hat from her bright golden head, has set the fashion for others, thereby (rendering it possible for a delight- ed audience to witness the details of a stage performance."

And every- ':" body was very happy. BREAD -MAKING IN INDIA. Indian yeast is made from the ,sap of the date -palm. En April, 'before the flowers appear, a Hin- o climbs the naked tr.ntt for the 1 vee, as iii:all palms are borne •tit the top. The maws beet are all 'bound together -with a rope and about his hips are fastened two pots for the reception of the sap. As he clindbs he calls out ; "Bar. ,per, darpor, ata hai•n' which be ing interpreted, s : "The palm- - tapper is coming." •This is for the benefit of the llohemmedamn 'woman who might be sitting un- veiled in the courtyards of the houses exposed to the view of the climber after he has risen above the tops of the walls. A tapper who once fails to give this warn- ing cry is thenceforth forbidden to ply hie trade. As European ware sees this performance for the first time, not knowing what the asan 'was after. is very .apt to take him •for an ape, to which animal the brown and nearly naked Hindoo s bears a striking resemblance. hea the tapper has reached the crown of the tree he cuts two gashes in opposite sides of the tree,evith an ase he has carried up in his mouth. Then he fastens the, pots under the gashes and ade- cends. The full ,pots are taken • away and empty ones put in their placee twice daily. The sap has a sweet taste, and contains some alcohol, even when fresh. After standing in the sun in great east- ern pets for a few days it begins to ferment, after which it deposits a think substance. This, taken :at a proper time, is ,used as yeast. The natives also make vinegar and alkind of distilled liquor from the;palm sap. The Indian flour - mill is very primitive, consisting of two great millstones, of which the lower is fast, and the upper is usually turned by two women who feed the wheat by handfuls into a hole which passes through the stone. The meal se obtained is ,simply mixed with the palm -yeast -and baked in very hot ovens,which have been heated for several days. 'The smald European householder !finds it snore convenient to pat- ronize the Mohammedan baket's,of whom, however, the bread must be ordered in advance. Some- times two or three English families combine and hire a baker, paying him a monthly salary and provid- ing him with raw material. The Hindoseat unleavened bread made by mixing flour and water and bak- ing in thin loaves or cakes over a wood fire.—From the Conditiore Zeitung. OINIVT,EUNG AT A.

'When I was ;between twelve Mid fottrteeal years old, nay father broke up a new field on his farm, and planted it with potatoes, and when the plants were two or three inches high, he sat me to hoe it. The ground of that piece was hard to till, it was matted with grass roots and sprinkled with stones. I hoed, the. first row, and thea stopped to take a general look at the task before•mea Grass as high as the potatoes was everywhere ; and looking at the whole from any point, it appeared to be a solid mass. I had the work to do all alone;and as I stood staring at the broad reach of weedy soil, I felt a good mind not to try to do any- thing further then with it. 'Just at that minute I happened to look down at the hill nearest my feet. The grass didn't seem quite as thick there, and I said to myself, 'I can hoe this one well enough,' 'When it was done another thought came to help me; I shan't have to hoe but one hill at a time at any rate. `And so I went to the next and next. But there I stopped again, and looked over the field. Tbat gave me another thought, too. I could hoe every hill as I came to it; it was only looking away off to all the hills that made the whole seem impossible. 'I won't look at it ! I said ; and I pulled my hat over my eyes so I could see nothing but the spot where my hoe had to dig. In couse of time I had gone over the whole field, looking only at the hill in hand,and my work was done. 'I learned a lesson tugging away at those grass roots which I never forgot. It was to look right down at the one thing to be done now, and not hinder or dis- courage myself by locking off at the things I haven't come to. I've been working ever since that sum- mer at the hill nearest my feet, and I have always found it the easiest way to get a hard task ac- complished, as it is the true way to prepare a field for the harvest.'

For� this reason newspapers are invalu- able under the carpet, laid over the regular carpet paper. The most valuable quality of news- papers in the kitchen; however, is their ability to keep out the air. It is well known Haat ice, com- pletely enveloped in newspapers so that all air is shut out,will keep a longer time than under other conditions : and that a pitcher of ice water laid in a newspaper with the ends of the 'paper twisted to- gether to exclude the air, will re- main. all night in any summer room with scarcely any percep- tible melting of the ice. These facts should be utilized oftener than they are in the care of the cream, when the ice is scarce,pack the freezer only three-quarters full of ice and salt,and finish with newspapers, and the difference in the time of freezing and quality of the cream is not perceptible from the result where the freezer is packed full of ice. After remov- ing the dasher, it is better to cork up the cream and cover it tightly with a packing of newspapers than to use more ice. The news- papers retain the cold already in ice better than a packing of crack- ed ice and salt, which rnust have crevices to admit the air.—Scien- tific Ame,lcan.

The drainage of the great val- ley of Mexico. which has at last been definitely undertaken, will be one of the most interesting worxs in the history of engineer- ing, whether we look at the stu- pendous proportions of' the pro- ject, or at the magnitude of the sanitary advantages which will accrue from its completion. A sanitary engineer would say that the capacious valley, in the mid- dle id dle of which lies the city of Mexi- co, was, notwithstanding its fere f tile soil and admirable climate-, not intended by nature for the habitation of a teeming popula- tion. It is a deep, cup -like de- pression, surrounded by a moun- tain rampart and possessing" no natural outlet for water or sewer- age. --Nevertheless, for many centuries, not only since the Span- ish conquest, but in Aztec and the still remoter Toltec times the valley had been densely populat- ed, The result is that the groaned on which the large citiea stand reeks with corruption, and the adjacent stagnant lakes are clogged with age -long aooalumatione •ef filth, engendering the most dangerous miasmatic and tyyhoidal condi- tions. If the masses of Mexican people were not in the habit of chinking palche instead of water, they would be continually deci- mated, for it is impossible in the City of Mexico to procure pure drinking water except lay distilla- tion. Under tltp„ Stpanfsh vice- roys, an attempt 'was made to drain the valley, and a,tainnel for that purpose was driven through ore of the rocky walls which hem it in. But through some miseal- culatiot of the constructors, the opening was begun :at too high a point and is now useless. The new boring will be made at a lev- el low enough to effectually drain the la+;os.—The Ledger.

The rector's wife was greatly pleased, and said : 'She is worth a dozen men, she is so handy, and she never leaves a bit of dirt.' The rector recommended her to other families, and she soon found herself in good demand. She was frequently asked to supply, missing keys and repair old locks. With a good sense, she put herself in training under a locksmith,and was soon able to meet this emer- gency. She gets two dollars and a half a day and her lunch and dinner. Probably the work she does, if sent out of the house to be done, would costtho family twice that amount.

Rigby., formerly a chaplain in Ceylon, said at a re- cent meeting in London :—If you go to any spot in the heathen world the number of Englishmen who are living scattered around you will be a cause of surprise. They go to all parts of the world, many seeking a living somehow, anyhow, and of these so many leading evil, immoral lives, and yet I do not think I have heard at any of our prayer ;meetings these men prayed for. You will fund them everywhere, pale -faced, speaking the English tongue, with the overbearing manner of profes- sing Christians. These men do incalculable mischief. They are an actual power against Christ. Let .us join this year in praying for these men who are now living among the heathen, that they may he eonvcrted.

A woman has been found living in New York City whose expens- es average four cents a day. She makes button holes when she can get them to make, and finds that the revenue derived from her toil compels her to depend for subsist - mice on bread without butter, and tea without milk. A five cent loaf of bread lasts her two days The women shirt makers that struck in New York, worked pre- vious to the strike, sixteen hours a day. From the shirts they made, they received thirty-five to fifty cents a dozen. The wom- en become s0 worn out in a short time that they could not even make the scanty average earnings. Life is certainly not worth having on such terms as these. It would be much more preferable to sit down and starve comfortably in a a short time than to have the life of one slowly ground down to powder between the upper and nether millstone. It is gratifying to know that the shirt makers were successful in their strike. There is no need that body linen should be cut down to starvation prices. The man who would not be willing to pay ten cents more on the shirt for the sake of these women does not deserve to wear a shirt.—Palatka News. Women have the right in this glorious land of liberty to thus starve inch by inch, or if they prefer a life of infamy to starve-, tion, they can become the poor victim of some reckless libertine who makes them the plaything of the hour, and then casts them ofl', to become the dregs of the outcast class. God pity the men who, by legislation, make such things pos- sible, and God speed the day when women shall rise in indignation' and demand justice for their op- pressed Sisters. --,Woman's Voice. W.
