An Tmprovrmrnt in Bread Making.
Pi-rHons who are so unfortunate as to
be poorly provided with those agents of
mastication, good teeth, will bo glad to
know that there is a method of baking
bread which obviates the necessity of a
bard crunt. The ornnt commonly at
tached to the loaf is not only trouble.,
some to snob persons, but is often the
caime of much waste. The way to be
rid of it is as follows: When the loaves
are mo). led. and before thev nm a..f

clean lard, warm it, and rub lightly
over the loaves. The result will be a

The following ruleu are given by the
Mural American :
1. Prepare the ground in fall ; plant
in spring.
2. Give the vine plenty of manure,
old aud well decomposed; for fresh
manure excites growth, but does not
mature it.
3. Luxuriant growth does not always
insure fruit.
4. Dig deep but plant shallow.
5. Young vines produce beautiful
fmit, but old vines produce the richest.
6. Prune in autumn to insure growth,
but, in the spring to insure fruitfulness.
7. Plant your vines before you put

DlncRard Frail Trees.
Mr. Hopes, president of the Penn
sylvania Fruit Glowers' Association,
biddly asserts that the diseased fruit
trees are, in nine cases out of ten, the
resnlt of causes which have their
origin m carelessness or ignorance.
Ddep planting is one error to plant a
tree rather shallower than it formerly
stood is really the right way, whilst
many plant a tree as they would a post.
Rjotsareof two kinds the young and
tender rootlets, composed entirely of
cells, the feeders of the tree, always
found near the surface getting air and
moisture ; and roots of over one year
old, which serve only as supporters to
the tree aud as conductors of its food.
Hnce the injury that ensues when the
delicate rootlets are so deeply buried in
earth. Placing fresh or green manure
in contact with the young roots is, he
tells us, a iother error. The place to
jWi manure is on the surface, where the
elements disintegrate, dissolve and
carry downwards. Nnmerous forms of
fungi are generated and reproduced by
vuo application oi sucn manures direct
ly to the roots, and they immediately
attack the tree. It is very well to en
rioh the soil at transplanting the tree,
but the manure, if it be in contact
with, or very near, the roots, should
be thoroughly decomposed. Fruit

A serious affray took place under ex

burg recently. A tradesman despatched
a porter after a shoplifting sailor. The
porter, a Tartar, pushed him into a

whereupon a happy thought seized the
sauor, who shrieked out: "Save me.
fellew-believers, from the Tartar 1" This
brought a number of Russians to his
rescue, and the porter managed to effect
an escape to his employer's shop. The
mob, baffled and furious, then sought
the porter's dwelling place, where they
beat two of his friends. Then, hearing
tuai ne was concealed in a shop near by,

pressed himself in his editorial columns.
Nevertheless, Gheetham, after a bitter
contest of words, challenged Coleman.

did not take place, however, because
Judge Brockholst LivincRtoh. in hisofll

unfavorably to Coleman by his political
enemies, one of whom, Capt. Thompson,
harbor master of this port, declared
publicly that the Pott editor could not
be driven into a fight: that he was an in
famous poltroon. Such language could
not at that time be brooked; submission
to it involved loss of influence and social
caste. Consequently Coleman determin

Thompson out, and did so, Washington
Morton acting for the journalist, and
Cheethman for the harbor master. No
legal interference could be tolerated this
time, and the affair was managed with
the greatest secrecy. One summer
morning Dr. McLean, a well-known sur

the effect that at eleven o'clock of the

distant to Derceive it. and each is nroh
ably the centre of an attendant system
of planets, just as our sun is. Yet
among these far-off worlds We find many
subject to periodic Variations of bril
liancy, anrjearine and disappearing with
almostcJoekwork regularity, or suddenly
oaring np as new stars and as quickly
fading away forever.
One of the most striking examples
oi thit variability .is the star ALra,
or "ue wonderful, in the constel
lation of The Whale. This sinmr
lar body passes every year through a
succession of chancres so extreme that
for five months it is absolutely invisible.
although, when at its brightest, it eqnals
in splenlor a star of the second magni
tude, lis greatest brilliancy, too, is not
mwajB e same, it does not increase or
diminish by the same gradation, nor
are the successive intervals of its varia
tions constant. In fact while the aver
age period of its changes is about 331
days, the star is also subject to many
minor irregularities. Another variable
sun of saort period is Algol in Perseus.
At its brightest this star is commonly of
the second magnitude, bot in loss than
four hours it falls to one of the fourth
magnitude, and remains in that
dition for twenty minutes. Then it be

its rang as a second magnitude star, and
continues to hold it fur two days and
a half, when it again passes through its
periodio changes. These are by no
means isolated cases. The number of
stars know to be variable is large
some of them paBS through their round
of variations in long and others in short
periods, and all are apparently liable to
nuutuiuioiiB wmcn coniorm to no nxea

Several facts seem to indicate that our
sun is a variable star of the same kind,
though not subject to such extreme
changes as Mira and Algol. It is fright
ful to think wnat would happen if it dis
appeared altogether for four years, as
Mira once did, or even if it went through
such rapid variations of brilliancy as we
see in Algol ; but tnat sun does vary can
nardly be doubted. In some years its
surface is found to be almost perfectly
at rest. In others, its forces seem to be
in an extraordinary state of activity,
giving rise to enormous spots which
undergo the most rapid and violent
changes, and throwing ont vast masses
of incandescent gases to inconceivable
distances. How these changes are pro-
duced still remains a mystery. On the
supposition that the sun's heat was kept
up by a constant ttream of meteors fall
iug into that body, it was natural to
suppose that the variations in the
amount of heat thrown off depended
upon irregularities in the supp.bt.ofoi7

auurpieu uieory. uowever. tnat tne tem
perature of the sun is sustained, not by
enormous snowers oi meteors, but by
the contraction of its own mass, these
variations of heat and light are orobablv
due to corresponding variations in the
process of condensation. Judging from
the outbreak and disappearance of solar
spots, it seems probable that the sun
goes through these changes, on an aver
age, every eleven yean, though the time
may extend to thirteen years, or be less
than ten. Taking this period of elevf n
years, and remembering that Jnpiter
revolves around tne sin in nearly the

its variations, am! not to local influences,

the origin of our exceptionally mild

the acquaintance of these two gentle
men, and the trio formed an association
for raising funds to enable Ben Ali Guen
aori to recover the lost throne of his an
cestors. At the same time they organ
ized a society for utilizing the sweep
ings of Paris. While they were making
dupes of the credulous, and amusing
themselves at the public dancing-rooms
and skating palaces, tbe notary business
at Courbevoie was rapidly going to ruin,
and at length the crash came. Roussel,
finding it impossible to hide the state of
his affairs any longer, proclaimed
himself bankrupt, with liabilities
amounting to 850,000 francs, and assets
nil. The inquiry set on foot in behalf
of the number of pool persons ruined by
the notary's profligacy, led to his arrest.
Hii bearing in court was characteristic
of the man; he feigned injured inno
cence in a manner worthy of Tartuffe.
However, with that exoessive mercy
with which most French juries temper
their justice, he was given the benefit of
extenuating circumstances, and, al
thongh fcund guilty of embezzlement,
he got off with five years' imprisonment.
Mining In the Streets of New York.
Some time ago a large jewelry estab
lishment in New York waa destroyed by
fire and the mass of dirt and rubbish in
the cellar of the rains was leased to a
couple of miners, who at once began
operations in this strange mine. Their
success is recorded by a local paper
as follows:
Messrs. Peer and Roberts, who are
conducting the mining operations on the
site of the Bond street fire, say that the
yield of precions metals fully realizes
their most sanguine expectations. " It
pays,"8aid Mr. Roberts, " better than
any mine in California. We are taking
out about $500 a day, and have been do
ing so for some time. At first we only
got about 825 a day, but as we worked
over to the other end the yield became
richer. We have collected between two
and three hundred ounces of gold and
about 5,000 ounces of silver." Mr.
Peer said that they had made $10,000 in
five weeks, and as they had washed only
about one-third of the accumulation of
ashes within tho inolosure, he expected
to realize as much as 832,000 on the
completion of the work. Peer and
Roberts are natives of California, and
have spent many years in the gold fields
of that. State. Before they undertook
the present work the contract had been
refused by all the refiners in the city
and vicinity, and by a firm in Cincinnati.
on tbe ground that they could not make
it pay expenses, and the owners of the
property were about to sell the dirt for
manure, for which the lime and ashes
that it contained made it valuable, when
Mr. I'eer and his partner, who were in
the city on other business, heard of the
opportnnity and offered to undertake
the work.
