A London bakehouse is almost invari ably situated in a cellar. Generally it is a cellar that might do well enough for the reception of lumber, but is utterly unfit for any other purpose, and, of all purposes to which it might possibly be put, for the manufacture of bread. The writer spent a night in such a place a short time ago. The walls were bulging, cobwebby and old; the ovens were un der the pavement of the street; the refuse of the bakehouse was deposited near the ovens; the four or five com partments into which the cellar was divided were small and close, and when the ga3 was lighted at midnight cock roaches were swarming over walls and ceilings, chasing each other about the sacks of flour,and holding assemblies in the bins. This, however, was rather a superior bakehouse. Tka bread is made are inaccessible, if the baker does not regard cleanliness as a moral obligation, he is, at any rate, fully aware that the cellars in which he practices his mystery are not quite such Bhow places as they ought to be. The circumstance that they are underground, and that the oven3 are so placed as to draw the air which feeds them —often from the close proximity of the drains — over the troughs in which the dough is kneaded, is in itself sufficiently appall ing. Bread readily absorbs the air that surrounds it, and ought never to be made or to be kept in confined places. In London, however, it is habitually made in dens so confined and nauseous that the baker’s trade is one of the most unhealthy in existence. The condition of the bakehouses is one of the least evils connected with the existing system of bread-making. Bread is made now after much the same fashion as was in vogue, probably, in the Cities of the Plain. The baker still uses his naked arms in the process of kneading. The “sponge” is laid in long wooden troughs. Over these the jour neyman baker, often working in a tem- Eerature of ninety degrees, bends for alf an hour or so while he kneads the dough. Of course he perspires. His occupation is as laborious almost as that of the blacksmith, and produces similar outward effects. However much he may be disposed to cleanliness, he can not pursue his occupation except under conditions that to any one not accus tomed to the process are sickening to behold. After belaboring the dough much as a housewife belabors a feather bed, he “rubs his arms out” —that is, he clears them of the paste with which they are encrusted by dipping his hands in dry flour and rubbing them down his arms. The dough comes off in little rolls, which are returned to the trough ane kneaded in with the bread. This is not the case only in bakehouses which are doing a “cutting” business. It is the process common in all bakehouses. The dough which adheres to the arms, saturated as it must be with impurity, would otherwise be so much waste, and in a bakehouse nothing is wasted. Such things are not pleasant to dwell upon; but bread is the chief food of the people, and it is as well that we should Know how it is manufactured. Before being made up into loaves and put in the oven it goes through a tiresome amount of handling. After being kneaded in the troughs it is pulled out in pieces and rolled vigorously on a bench. Now and then a knife is taken up and the bench is scraped, and the scrapings are returned to the trough. The old proverb about eating a peck of dirt has a more literal application than is generally supposed. We take agreat deal of our allowance in our bread. It is a remarkable fact that there is more popular ignorance on the subject of food •than on anything else which is necessa ry to our daily life. In nothing, more over, do we take so much on trust as in the article of bread. If, by sonv acci dent, the public could watch our bakers at work for a few hours there would be a general and immediate resort to Rome made bread. —Pall Mall Gazette.

Yellow fever is creating considerable excitement in portions of Texas. George William Curtis is fighting the administration without gloves. Southern New Jersey and the Dela ware Peninsula are suffering from drought. The Creek Indians are on the war path. This time they are fighting among themselves. The hop crop is 25 per cent, sliort this year as compared with last. In this case the pressure is on the brewer. The nomination and election for a third term of Governor St. John, of Kansas, is said to be assured. It is proposed to build an under ground railroad in Paris. The cost of its construction is put at $30,000,000. “ The President now drives out with a four-in-hand. ” While this might moan almost anything, we presume it means four horses. The London Times expresses the opinion that the Sultan will send his troops to Egypt expressly to thwart the purposes of England. ® t A | Crop reports from England say that wheat will not nearly amount to a fair average crop ; barley rather less than an average crop ; oats good. Six thousand acres of walnut trees have been planted in Kansas. They propose that future generations shall have all the walnuts they want to eat. In is stated, as common rumor, that although the President vetoed the River and Harbor bill, he secretly worked, through h?s friends, for its passage over his veto.

An actress in a London theater is a sixteen-year-old Bohemian girl, eight feet two inches*higli, and still growing. She believes the time has come for women to occupy a higher level. The Cincinnati dktmmercial argues that a drunk honest man is preferable to a sober thief. That is owing somewhat to tho size of tlm drunk as well as the size of the steal. ’ Lei us have the [spec ifications. Wheat and corn, at some points, bring the same per bushel, a state of com merce that does not often occur. The abundant crop of wheat is now on the ma ket, whereas, corn w'ill be scarce for some time yet. As a rule, New York merchants were loud in their praise of the President’s act of vetoing the River and Harbor bill. The improvement of Western channels is a matter of little interest to Eastern merchants.

England sensibly objects to tho land ing of Turkish soldiers in Egypt with out first know ing who they are going to fight for when they get there. She demands that the Porte denounce Arabi Bey a rebel. It will give a clearer un derstanding of -wliat tho Sultan proposes i j do in a crisis. A scandal prevails at Loveland, Ohio, concerning the boy evangelist Harrison. The Camp-meeting Association erected a cottage at a cost of $175, furnished it in elegant style, and set it asido for Harrison’s exclusive occupancy, or use. "When the camp-meeting closed, the other day, Mr. Harrison offered to dis pose of the cottage, furniture and grounds, all in a lump, for S2OO. He was notified by several members of the Association that it was not bis to dis pose of, but on his vacating it, reverted to the Association. Mr. Harrison was non-plussed, and went away dissatisfied, and now there is considerable talk and scandal about the matter. The ladies all think Mr. Harrison ought to have the cottage, but not so with the hard hearted men. What Arabi’s rebellion is already cost ing Egypt may be judged from the Alexandria dispatch to the Manchester Examiner. Her cotton crop averages two hundred millions of pounds an nually, and that is altogether lost for this year. Her exportation of wheat ought to be about twenty-five millions of pounds, but there will be not enough garnered in this season for the support of the native population. England has recently been paying her t**n millions of dollars annually for cottonseed that i:; compressed into oil cake, and ow that item of revenue is sacrificed. The Lon don Shipping and Merchant Gazette de clares that it is almost impossible to compute the monetary disaster in um wutab uenvenes 10 England musf, however, be supplied by American ex portation, and if the war is inevitable, our shippers may conscientiously con sent to make all the money they can out of it. Burns. Extensive burns are apt to be fatal, even when death does not follow from the shock caused by the accident. Why they are fatal has been a cause of sur prise in cases where no internal organ lias been harmed. Recent examinations of persons who have died from this cause have shown that the blood was thick and viscid. Much of tlie blood water ( liquor sanguinis) had been drained from the blood, rendering it unfit for its functional purposes. The loss was undoubtedly due to rapid exu dation from the inflamed surfaces. To what an extent exudation takes place has been shown by the large drops of fluid that have been pressed from the burned skin of a rabbit. When the animal was placed in a hot room, the fur over the burned part remained moist, although it quickly dried when moistened on other parts of the body. In cholera there is a somewhat simi lar loss, but there are also great thirst and shrinkage of the itibscle, which is not the case in burns. It is, however, only the serum—blood-water without the fibrin—instead pf the water of the blood-proper, which t* framed off. As this changes the density of the latter, the blood-vessels, according to a well known law, tend to draw a supply to meet the lack from the tissues, causing their great shrinkage.* In the case of burns, however, there is simply a diminution of the qu.SUity of the blood-water, and no change in its density; hence no absorption from the muscular tissues takes place. Burns in which the scarf-skin is not destroyed do not so seriously affect the system. The aim in the treatment of burns should be to arrest the exudation of the water on the surface. Soda not only removes the pain of burns, but it will save life even when the burns cover surface enough to cause death. Its re markable curative power probably lies ln the fact that it renders the surface dry.— Youth's Companion. He Took the Cue. A Chinaman, clothed in the conven tional costume, sauntered into a Sixth Avenue cigar store yesterday, laid down a ten cent piece on the counter, and held up two fingers. The mute demand was readily complied with by the intel ligent tobacconist, who, with the nunost suavity, addressed his customer in “pigeon English:” “ Livee ’round here, John?” The Celestial gave his interrogator a curious look and replied in excellent English, with a faultless pronunciation: “ Well, not in this immediate vicini ty ; I am temporarily sojouring with a friend on Fifth Avenue, but eventually expect to return to New Haven and prosecute my.studies in the School of Science.

Not long afterward he was a candidate for election to the National Assembly, and was elected by an al most unanimous vote of his constituents. The wealth and government influence of the rival candidate created no impres sion upon the voters. “No, no,” they cried; “we must vote for Arago, for, if we don’t, he may get mad and hurl an other eclipse at us!” —The newest fashion in Paris, that of wearing black underclothing, has be come the furor among the women of the highest aristocracy.

Should any one take exception to this as being too severe, I answer that license in the dress of a woman is a mark of a depraved mind.” Killed the Wrong Hens. All irascible sea-Captain settled down to Portland life by the side of a well tempered man, and the two got along very well until tlie hen question came up. Said the Captain: “ I like you as a neighbor, but I do*V like your hens, and if they trouble any more 1 11 shoot them.” The mild-mannered neighbor studiv over the matter some, but knowing the Captain’s reputation well by report, he replied: “ Well, if we can't get along any other way, shoot the hens, but I’ll take it as a favor if you will throw them when dead over into our yard and yell to my wife. “ All right,” said the Captain. The next day the Captain’s gun was heard, and a dead hen fell in the quiet I man’s yard. The next day another was thrown over, the next two, ami the next after three. “Say,” said the quiev man, “couldn't you scatter them along a lit tle? We really can't dispose of the number you are killing.” “Give’em to your poor relations,” replied the Captain, gruffly. And the quiet man did. He kept his neighbors well supplied with chickens for some weeks. One day the Captain said to the quiet man: “ 1 have half a dozen nice hens I’m going to give you if you’ll keep quiet about this affair.” “ How is that,” said the quiet man. “Are you sorry because you killed my hens?’’ “Your hens!” said the Captain. “Why, sir, those hens belonged to my wife!
