TKSTINt; UKKW". ' Bread soaked in an alcoholic solu tion of logwood will at once turn blue if there is alum present. Another Very simple way of tesiiug alum is to thrust a hot knife blade into a loaf .that is one day old. If alum is pres ent it will adhere in small particles to tbo blade. lo the goodness of tread properly made with baking powders pos-e-sing the maximum of leavening power, the following ex periment will be found interesting. Mid slso very reliable: Take a good loaf of bread with a suspected one; cut from the two pieces ot equal size, put them in sau cer containing the same quantity of water; the best bread will invariably absorb the most water. This is more a test for alum than anything, as alum hardens the gluten of wheat and ren ders it less soluble. The weekly consumption of bread per inhabitant in the United States is only five ami on'-half pounds, or about three pounds less than the gen eral average for all countries of Ku rope. At 'he rate of only live and ouo-half pounds of bread weekly per inhabitant in the United States, the Annual coiiMiinpl :o:i represents the enormous amount of 17,100,000,000 poa::ds.

The First Meeting Held in West ern New York in 1875. The story of the origin of the Farm ers' Alliance as told by L. 1'. Uoot, of Xew York, who claims to have been with it at the commencement, is about this: "lu January, 187j, a cat1 was issued by the Western Xew York Farmers' Club for a meeting of tho farmers of Munroe county at Roches ter, to organize a farmers' association. Early in February following, the meeting assembled and effected an or ganization, with constitution and by laws, lo be known as the Farmers' Al lianee. Its chief object was to eirect legislation in the interest of the agri culturist, not by distinct party action, but through each political party to se cure nomination and election of candi dates pledged to support such just and equal laws as would bear on the inter ests of agriculture; also to secure equal representation of the farm" ing class in the Legislature of the State. The tirst organization embraced only Monroe county and could be of no general benefit. Hence, within a short period we issued a call for a meeting for State organization al Koeheslcr. which brought together re presentative farmers front other parts of the State, and a State alliance was organized on the model of Ihc county alliance, with recommendation to form county alliances throughout the State. The tirst annual meeting thereafter was held at Syracuse, N Y., when (he first Alliance address was given by the l'resident. The objects specially aimed at were a reform in assessment and taxation, equal railroad freights to shippers, and, especially, pro rata freights to all way freightage taking extra cost of handling, the enactment of laws lo authorize co-operative farm j insurance, together with other reform j in legislation, and to favor equal rep" reseiitalion in the law-making power of the Stale. The second l'resident elected was lion. Harris Lewis, of Montgomery county, representing the eastern portion of the State, and mak ing the interest of the Alliance extend throughout, the State. This organiza tion extended to other States, and in 1878 or I s7'. a call was made for a national meeting to he held at Chicago. At that meeting a .Monroe county fanner, V. ,;. Fowler, who gave special instruction in Alliance work, was elected l'resident. From that time onward the orga-.izaton picnd throughout the West and South until it has become an acknowledged ponvr in the political status of these States. It has been claimed by some Western writer that I he Fanners' Allianco had its birth at Chicago, when Fowler was elected President of the National Al liance, but this State organization had been running some four years prior to the Chicago meeting. A. A. Hopkins gave name to the organization, of which fact I have personal know ledge, having been a member of the committee with Mr. Hopkins that reported name and constitu tion for the association. Courier Journal. Keeping the ltooms Sweet. Those who do "light housekeeping," as it is termed, in small rooms, where they must sleep, cook and cat, often complain that in spite of continual airings there is a disagreeable odor. One nice way to rid yourself of it is this: After the usual morning's airing lake a shovel, or iron dish, and make a close pile of bits of paper, and on top sprinkle grated orange peeling, or liny broken pieces of it. Then set it on fire and let it burn slowly, or as long as it will. Save and dry your orange peelings for this purpose, as it imparts a delightful, fragrant odor to a room. By the way, a very small oil stove will not only heat a little room, but more cooking can be done on it than is generally supposed. A lady whose home is one "hall bedroom,'' lias made a beautiful little sitting room out of it and heals it. with a 7o-ccnt oil stove. It costs her 2i cents a week, as she burns that amount of astral oil. She can aiso cook a small chicken on this stove and recently stewed one de liciously by putting it in a deep oval dish. Oval shaped dishes arc best to cook in whenever the small one-wicked stove is of tho same shape. New York News. He Had a 1)111.

A rich discovery of ouyx was cde during the last of the year. It came about in a pecnlar way .and has caused much interest, especially as ia the known world up to this time (hero are but three onyx mines. One of these is in Mexico, and onyx from it is used by Lucky Baldwin to face the counter of his $2,000,000 hotel at San Fran, cisco. One of the other mines is in Missouri, but the vein ia small. The third is iu Germany, and is now about exhausted. The discovery here was therefore at a most opportune lime. During the closing days of the ex position at Spokane Falls. State of A ahiugtou, 11. F. Beale, a sculptor and marble dealer of that city, noticed among the exhibit from Douglass county a peculiar looking bit of rock, lie picked it up, examined it, and asked some questions about it. The man in charge suid it was merely cryslalized limestone, pretty to look at, but would not make good lime. M'". Ueale looked it over again and be gan to be impressed with the fact that it was onyx and tSit, too, of a most superb kind. Ho divulged his con viction to no one, but made careful inquiry and found that it came from near Wcnalc'iie. impressed with the fact that there was a big bonanza in it, he struck out for Wemilchic, over 100 miles away. Without much difficulty he found the formation of which he was iu search, lie discovered along a reef of rocks several small caves in which were numerous stalactites. Itreaking them oil' lie found them to be onyx of a tine quality. He took specimens back with him, polished them and exhibited them to capitalists. During the last of No vember he returned again, lie had discovered that the ledge was on 320 acres of unsurvcyed land, and he and others took up claims. It is said that the onyx i equal to any evur found, and that it w. 1 he de veloped steadily. Should the discov ...... ;t ;., ...... l .

The I.ndy and the Leopards' Heads. A pa-semrer iu a Brooklyn reel ear the other day was surprised, not to say startled, on glancing up from the newspaper he was reading, at seeing opposite hint in the car and just over the top of his paper the ycllow-and-bhiek head of an enormous leopard. The animal's ears were laid back and its lips drawn a art in an ugly snarl that showed i s long while teeth, and its blazing yellow eyes glared fiercely a' Ihc astonished passenger. The man dropped his newspaper rather sudden ly and was confronted by another pair of staring, yellow eyes and more gleaming teeth. His surprise was very evident, for ho had been com pletely absorbed in his newspaper, but he quickly recovered and smiled when he saw a very pretty pink and white human face between tho leopards' heads. The heads formed part of the al tire and not a small part ot the adorn ment of a pretty young lady. They were real leopards' heads, the fur a bright yellow, dotted over with big i.laek rings, and they had belonged to two full-grown animals. One was made into a cap, which fitted closely over the lady's head. Tbo upper row of sharp teelh, two of which were about an inch and a half long, nearly touched her forehead, while the groat yellow eyes glared fiercely down from the crown of her head. The other head, which was a little larger and of even more ferocious aspect, was made into a muff. Both were exceedingly lifelike, and the effect was quite novel, and at fir-t glance rather startling. The same lady was seen the next day j wearing a wrap made of leopard skin, aud the man who had seen the heads found himself wondering if there was not perhaps an interesting ftory of the lady's prowess as a huntress connected with tho trophies she wore. New York Sun. .Iiiilieiil Holies Come High. There is a little old woman in Washington who enjoys all the gossip about the going out and coining iu of justices of the supreme court. Sho is the court milliner, aud for 30 or 40 years has made tho gowns which the judges wear on the bench. Justice Brown was sworn in in a borrowed gown, his own not being ready. The old woman had taken the measure ment, and probably could have had tho gown ready if pushed to it, but she does not believe in doing things in Yle. For each of these new gowns, made of black silk, she is paid $100, aud her profit is about $75. Just why the fee is $100 no one knows, except this is the sura that tradition calls for, and tradition is everything in the supreme court. 1 Glorious Birer.' ; " The St. Lawrence is a phenomenon among rivers, sayi 2faturt'$ Bealm. No other rivsr ia fed by such gigantic lakes. No other river is so Independent of the elements. It despises alike rain, snow and sunshine. Ice and wind may be said to be the only things that effect ita mighty flow. Something almost as phenomenal as the St. Lawrence itself is the fact that there is so little generally known about it. It might be safely affirmed that not one per 1 cent, of the American people are aware ot the fact that among all the great rivers of the world the St. Lawrence is the only abso lutely floodless one. Such, however, is tho ease. The St. Lawrence despises rain and sunshine. Its greatest variation caused by drouth or rain hardly ever exceeds a foot or fourteen inches. The cause of this everlasting sameness of volume is easily understood. The St. Lawrence is fed by the mightiest bodies of fresh water on earth. Immense as is the volume of water it pours into the ocean, any one who has traversed all the im mense lakes that feed it, and for tho surplus waters of which it is tho only channel to the sea, wonders that it is not even more gigantic than it is. Not one drop of the waters of the five great lakes find its way to the ocean save through this gigantic, extraordinary and wondrously beautiful river. No wonder, then, that it should despise the rain and defy the sunshine. Origin of the Latest Stylo. -FlUgcnde E- "Iter, Hibcniaclc of Migratory Bird:.. The wild water fowl which spend tho summer in the North begin in the fall to make their way southward, stopping on their way to feed on stubbles and in swamps, lakes, and riveis. They final iy reach the warm climate where food is abundant during the winter, flaying un til the heat is uncomfortable, when they go northward ngain by gradual stages. The same habit prevails among land birds, as robbins, swallows, blackbirds, etc. Sew York Times. Market or Marsh Gardens. In some of tho earlier European works on agriculture the name market, gardener is said to be derived from marsh garden er, probably because the principal vege table gardens near the great cities were located on low, moist or marshy ground. Our modern lexicographers, however, do not, so far as we have observed, recog nize the "marsh gardener" as the original of our market gardener, the latter being one who raises vegetables to be sold iu a market.
