Fancy bread bakers use a patent yellow

posed that bakers use alum extensively
in order to whiten their bread. That 1b
not the fact. There is no necessity for
the use of alum, aud it is not used in
the trad?. There are about twenty

outer crust thin and tender, and gives
the bread a peculiar rich taste and

trade as "steam" bread is another re
cent invention. It is made of the very
finest of flour and baked in air-tight
pans, which inclose it on all sides. It
1? thus baked in its own steam, and
possesses a flavor peculiarly its own.
One very large bakery In New York is
devoted solely to the production of

and the bread so made is extremely
light and spongy. The invention is an
English one. but haa teen la use here
for years. When the dough has reach

This creates the lightness and spongi

How Ink Is .Made.
Ink is variously composed, according
to the purposes to which it is to be ap
plied. Common writing ink isthepe;
tannate of iron, mixed with a little gal
late, held in suspension in water by
gum or sou's other adhering substance.
The gum also preserves the ink from
being too fluid and also serves to pro
tect the vegetable matter from decom
position. Blue ink has of late yoars been much
in demand. The coloring matter is
said to be sulphate of indigo and tinct
ure of iron, or according to another re
cipe, Prussian blue dissolved In water
by means of oxalic acid. lied ink ia
usually made by boiling in the propor
tion of two ounces of Brazil wood in a
pint of water for about a quarter of an
hcur.and addi-ijr a little gum and water.
This ink is not iu tlemaml now. carmine
having superceded it ; this color is at
tained by a solution cf carmine and
ammonia, also adding gum. The great
merit of our commoi writing ink is in
the freedom wi:h which it flovrs from
the pen, allowing cf rapid writing, and
the manner in which it bites iDto the
paper, so as not to he removed by spong
ing. The great defect is in the want of
durability. Such inks partakd or the
nature or dyes. The writing ink of the
ancients, tn ti e conttary, is character
Izsd by great permanency ; its basis was
finally divided charcoal, mixed with
some mucilaginous or adhesive fluid.
Indian ink is of this character ; it is
formed of lampblack and animal glue,
with the addition of perfumes, nc nec
essary, however, to its u in ink, and
is made cp Into cakes. It Is used .n

A Tourist in Jndea.
Jenin is about three dayj' ride from
Jerasa!em. Tbe first day takes one
up orer Scopus, from whence is ob
tained tbe best far off view or tbe Holy
City, past Gibeah, where David per
mitted the murder of Saul's seven
sons ; past Ramab where Rachel
mourned for her children ; past the
bethel of Jacob and past the somber
rock country of Jadea, a country of
tbe weird pencil of a Pore to Smjil,
where tbe first night is gladly spent
after a few aays battling with the ag
gravating stony paths. A land flow
ing with milk and honey, Palestine,
may have been, but as most tourists
see barren Jndea first it would seem
as if tbe milk must have been curdled
and petrified into these present, very
present rocks. Honey, too ; and man
thinks Indignantly of that imitation
stuff to which they are now red need
and which they have the assurance to
proffer here ia this supposed honeyed
land.
After this insnlt added to the al
ready potent Id jury of tbe stones and
rocks, tired mortal hails his tent with
joy, haila even these lrou structures on
which we are pending a third of our
time, and tbe bedding of which is not
so hard as a pine board, neither is it
eider-down by long shot. Yet you
cling to that bedding with strong de
sire as, at 5 or G in the morning as
may be, tbe praroman comes to call
you. Coffee is served in a half hour,
tbe men are already beginning the un
cording of your tent, so you must
arise. Ia another half hour all are
supposed to be ready to mount and be
off, tbue taking advantage of the cool
and delicious early day. A rest of a
con pie of hours Is made for luncheon
(which bas been brought on donkey
back) and for a lounge for you, and
if the rood may be applied, for tbe
horses also. Arriving at tbe day's
journey's end. one is bigbly gratified
to find everything set up as marvel
ously as it disappeared while taking
his morn! bit coffee. D:rner is served
at half past 6 and tbe evening is pass
ed in conversation, cards, or in writ
ing op journal, for early to rise means
early to bed. Some one bas said that
this combination means healthy,
wealthy and wie. but I don't believe
It except for Palestine.
For tent life is a happy one when
it does'nt rain. Even if it does, your
canvas bouse is, it is to be hoped, of
double thickness and well corded
down by Arabs wbo have been doing
just that same thing all tbelr lives.
Against dampness, sometimes a board
flooring is laid, but large xugs are al
ways spread open which the bed and
wasbstand are always set up, and
which makes a pretty harmony with
tbe inner canvts covering which bas
been gayly adorned in a sort cf Orient
al patchwork, the effort of Carirene
art ideas, aD? presents an inviting ap
pearance cool by day and warm by
night some-hing like tbe Irishman's
whiskey, col in summer and hot in
winter. "With your chair in tbe door
way, or I3clining by the adjustable
window, yju settle down to Baedeker
or Stanley or Hepworth Dixon, feel
ing quite Juie that tbe tent arrange
ment is Ike most sensible mode of liv
ing yet hvented for Palestine. Par
ticular is this true if, at this junc
ture, Hassan makes his appearance
with a cup of tea, which he always
has reidy on your coming into camp.
tiood Manner..
Good manners are not'so common as
to bt of no weight in society, like good
speling or language. One may be as
rictas tbe IlochscbUds,ODe may be bigb
ly iducated. and not possess them, or
an? may have tbem)in degree.
The Due de Moray's definition of a
ptlite man was, "one who listens with
literest to things he knows all about.
Then they are told by a person wbo
Inows nothing about tbem ;" but this
s but one phase of bis character. Good
manners are more nerviceable than a
passport, than a book account, or a
! lineage.
They make friends for ns ; they are
more potent than eloquence and genius
without them. They undoubtedly
spring from a kind heart, and are tbe
dictates of good humor. Tbey are not
something to be learned from fashion
news and books of etiquette ; tbey are
not imported or borrowed. The good
mannered person does not tell us our
failings, does not lecture us ; he does
not merely wear bis manners because
tbey are becoming or polite, but be
cause be can no more exist without
tbem than without air.
Tbey resemble the antique painted
glass, in which colors were not laid on
but stained through ; they are as much
a gift as poetry is to another, or inven
tive faculty. There are those who may
be said to have a positive genius for
tbem, as another bas for conversation ;
they know bow to sway others by tbem.
Polite people have an influence that
is not due to their position or possession
learuing oi their wit. There are those
wbo believe that good manners are only
another name for good clothes and good
food and good homes with tbe modern
conveniences and luxuries, that they
are talkative and emphatic and showy ;
but we do not always find that the best
mannered people live in palaces.
Good manners are something which
nobody can afford to do without, no
matter bow rich or powerful or intel
lectual he may be. They add to beau
ty, tbey detract from personal ugliness,
they cast a glamor over defects, tbey
ameliorate the round shonlders of thia
person a'jd tbe squint of the other.
Where they -exist, imagination sup
plies deficiencies af every other attrac
tion. They are contagious, like tfee
measles, but tbey must oe more than
akin deep to be of any service.

country and see wby the rain does not
fall equally In all parts of it ; instead of
falling very abundantly in some places,
as in New England and some of tbe
Gnlf States, and yery sparingly in many
parts of the West as in New Mexico and
Arizonia.
Tbe winds which blow to tbis country
from tbe sonth and the east being"
warm tropical winds, can bold much
moisture, and are full of this lnyisible
vapor of water which they hare taken
up from tbe Gulf of Mexico and tbe
ocean, (doming to tbe cooler land, tbey
gradually become cooled. Their mois
ture, therefore, falls as rain while they
pass over tbe land, till, by tbe time tbey
reach western Kansas and Colorado, the
moisture being gone, no more rain can
fall. But the winds which come to tbis
country, from the north and west are
colder than tbe land, and, as tbey sweep
over it, toward tbe south and eas1;. they
gradually become warmer ; so that in
stead of giving np their moisture in the
form of rain, they are constantly taking
up moisture from the earth. It is for
this reason that our north and west
winds are dry winds, and mean fair
weather ; while the south and east
winds bring rain. For tbis reason, al
so, the Eastern and Southern States
have an abundance of rain, while tbe
Central and Western States are often
yery dry.
And there is still another point to be
considered. We already have noted the
fact that at great heights tbe air is
cooler. Hence, wbtn a warm wind full
of moisture comes blowing across the
country and strikes a monttain range,
it bends upward and rises bigh in tbe
air to past ortr. In so doing it becomes
cooled, giving up Its moisture, and
passes, over to the other side a dry wind.
It Is for tbis reason that Borne islands,
like tbe Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific
Ocean, where the winds blow almost
always from tbe same direction, are
subject to almost continuous rain on
one side while on the other rain is ex
ceedingly rare.
Tbis also shows why California, weit
ot the Siena Nevada mountains, re
ceives sufficient rain to make tbe soil fit
for cultivation ; while Nevada, on the
east, is nearly rainless and barren.
The moisture coming from the south
and east Is all condensed by the Alle
gheny, the Rocky, and tbe Wahsatch
ranges ; while that from the west is cut
cfl by the Sierras. Hence, the great
extent of country known to geologists
as the Great Basin which reaches from
Oregon on the) north to Mexico on tbe
south, and from Colorado on tie ease
to tbe Sierras on tbe west, comprising
an area of not less than 200,000 square
miles, which is nearly equal to the
whole of France receives over a great
part of its surface an annual rainfall of
not over four inches, and is fthereore
a desert.
Composting Materials.
The true mode of saving manure is to
compost it, or to thoroughly mix it with
some absorbent material. Oa tbe farm
tbe stocks, straw and leaves may be ad
vantageously used, but time and labor
may be saved by first reducing all such
materials as stocks and straw to short
lengths, first using them for bedding
tbe animals, and then adding tbem to
the manure heap. The absorbent ma
terials take up tbe liquid manure and
prevent evaporation and Oe-fanging,"
while the manure, in torn, assists in
decomposing the absorbent materials,
thus converting tbe whole more quickly
into available plant food. Throwing '
stalks and whole straw into the barn- j
yard to be tramped Is a well-known '
practice, but it requires a much longer
time to reduce them to pieces ia that
manner as they are partially protected
by a thick silicate that is not only in
soluble but renders the whole impervi
ous to water. The materials used in
the manure heap are quickly decompos
ed by water, as chemical action occurs
more readily in liquids. The labor re
quired to reduce tbe absorbent materi
als to a fine condition will be found in
significant compared with the labor
saved in handling, spreading and haul
ing the manure to the fields, as those
who have been accustomed to loading
manure containing undecomposed corn
stocks are aware, and an additional ad
vantage is also secured in the manure
being in a more complete condition for
application and as plant food. But it
is best to always use the absorbent ma
tials in tbe stalls, in order to allow
tbem to be saturated by tbe liquids.
and after tbe formation of tbe heap any
liquids that may be saved should be
poured over tbe heap. In this manner
a large quantity of manure may be
made of a superior duality and far more
serviceable than that not so carefully
prepared. Dry earth is cheap sub
stance, and should be used freely, while
marl, in addition to be excellent absor
bent. In itself contains potash, lime
and tbe phosphates in an insoluble con
dition, but which are changed in core-
pocition and converted into plant food
by tbe action of tbe manure. If
weTl sheltered and protected from
the Tains and sun a greater value
will "be possessed by tbe manure than if
nxposed to the influence of the weather.
