A homely subject that at
tracted MOST ATTENTION.
THE AMERIOUS DAILY TJM ES-RECOL DER: SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 27, 1891.
copyright (89o
After dinner,
if you have discomfort and suffer
ing, take Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets, or Anti-Bilious Granules.
They’re made to assist Nature in
her own way—quietly, but thor
oughly. What the old-fashioned
pill did forcibly, theso do mildly
and gently. They do more, too.
Their effects arc lasting; they
regulate the system, as well as
cleanso and renovate it. One little
Pellet’s a gentle larative; three to
four act as a cathartic. They’re
the smallest, cheapest, the easiest
to take. Unequaled as a Liver
Pill. Sick Headache, Bilious Head-
ache, Constipation, Indigestion, Bil
ious Attacks, and all derangements
of the stomach and bowels, are
promptly relieved and permanently
cured.
They’re the cheapest pill you can
buy, because they’re guaranteed to
give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
get.
Can you ask more?
This is the way
with the Ball corset; ii you
want ease and shapeliness,
you buy it—but you don't
keep it unless you like it.
After two or three weeks'
wear, you can return it and
have your money.
Comfort isn’t all of It
though. Soft Eyelets, and
"bones’* that can’t break or
kink—Ball's corsets have
both of these.

A Bright Girl Tuli! IVliaf She Knew About
“Rained Bread.**ami the Ap|»lau»« That
Greeted the Readlut; of ller K»»*y
Eclipsed That Given to All Others.
“Well, 1 don’t care if them other girls
are going to write about ‘Thought.' and
The Marble Stan’s Waitin' n' '(ienniH.
and all them other thing* my
M'raudy can't nay much that's **difyiti
on them subject*. tln> it’* my opimou
she couhl if she trie«l But ahe can make
lieautifui nz bread, ami she's goin’ to
tell them how to d>» it.’
With tin* expression of faith iti
•M’rainlyV* power*. Mr*. McGillicmMy
gave au em*»h;vtH* twist t<» the garment
she was wringing out of the Hud*
The subject first under discunaion was
of no small importance iu the village
for it related to the graduating exercises
at the village high nchool
With but one exception, the boys and
girls in the class sought topics that would
“sound well” ami make a good show in
the daintily printed programmes
One of the young ladies began to write
on “Twilight Thoughts:” another chose
a* her subject ••Destiny:’* another wrote
at the head ot the first page “Every
Cloud Has Its .Silver Lining."
Of course each one soon learned what
subject* bad been chosen by the other
members of the class, and loud were the
complaints wheu it was known what Mi
randa McOillicuddy proposed to write
about. It was agreed that the class
would go down luto history forever dis
graced.
••But you see,” said Miranda. “1 don’t
know anything at all al>oiit these high
toned subjects that the rest of you have
1 couldn’t say one word about them that
would be worth hearing, hut 1 think 1
do know how to make bread, and I’m
sure that many in the ami mure will be
interested to know some of the quirk*
and the twists that turn out a handsome
loaf.’’
“Well.” said another, “1 envy yon the
abundance of things you can say about
it.'hut it’s so awfully commonplace;
why, it'*—it's as commonplace as—eat
ing?”
an interesting essay.
Graduating day at last arrived, with
its flutter of excitement, its flowers, its
proud fathers and mother* and sympa
thizing friends and its somewhat envious
lower clusses.
First came the salutatory, which was
listened to with marked attention, as
would be the case even with a thought
ful paper ou the “Identity of Identity
and Nonideutity”—if it came first on
the programme.
Then came an oration on “Greece,”
by a boy, followed by an essay on “Phi
loaephy.”
By this time there were signs of rest
lessness, and some quiet whispering go
iug on among such as were uot carefully
polite. Fortunately music came in at
this point, after which the audience
was invited to listen to some “Twilight
Thoughts.” Then appeared the “Cloud*
that was supposed to have a “Silver
Lining,” but which certaiuly cast no
gleam over the audience.
This condition, ntrauge to say, seemed
to be intensified when “Hope” appeared.
At this point the presiding officer an
nounced an essay on “Raised Bread,” by
Miss Miranda McGillicuddy.
The eager Interest that came luto ev
ery face in the andience was quite hu
miliating to those who had already ap
peared ou the stage, and still more hu
miliating was the close attention that
was suddenly paid to tv try word that
was said.
The essay discussed the importance of
good bread in a hygienic point of view—
the effect which a “flat” biscuit fre
quently has upon the disposition of the
eater, as well ns upon his stomach; the
nutritious and uonnutritious qualities
of ration* kinds of flour, and the whole
method of procedure, from the making
of yeast, through the successive stages of
mixing, working, raising, reworking
molding and bakiug till that consum
mate flower of good housekeeping ap-
peared—a light, nutritious aud delicious
loaf of bread
TUE JUDGE’S REMARKS.
Not one word was lost by the andience
from liegintiing to end. The ladles were
chiefly interested, perhaps, but men lis
tened very attentively too. When the
reading was finished the essay was given
the heartiest applause of the evening.
After the programme bad been fiuished
and the audience was preparing to de
part, Judge Gildersleeve, chairman ot
the school committee and the most im
portant citizen of the town, rose to make
a few remarks, and this was what he
said:
••ruMr*) th« sadicnc* *H*v»r*es, I have
v suggestion to make, chiefly for the
beuefit of those who may belong to the
graduating classes of the future. If yon
wiali, in prupariug a graduating essay or
oration, to interest your audience—and
it is ueedles* to say that you do—let
your remarks apply to a period not later
at least than a hundred years ago. und
better still if they apply fou time not
later than a hundred days ago. And let
them l»e on a subject ill which you ait*
interested, and in winch your andience
is interested, however homely it uiny ap
pear.
“It is not necessary that it should be
on the |-hiper way to bake bread, like
the very interesting, practical and well
written paper to which we have just lis
tened. or on the right way to make a
bed, which would be another good sub
ject; but it would far better be on thene
subjects, if yon know what you are
writing about, than upon Time. Genius
or Tlie Ideal, even thongb yon treat
them thoughtfully.
We are a practical people, and we
like to be approached upon the plane of
our everyday life. We are greatly inter
ested in oar schools and scholars, bat we
want to see you with your feet—both of
them—on the ground, which preclude*
the possibility of your heads being among
the cloud*.”—Webb Donnell teYoBtbk
