The Marquls of Salisbury Can Have the

OFrYERED A DUKEDOM,

Honor—He KReiused it Once Before.

Lord Salisbury can have a dukedom if he wiehes it this year, acccrding to a late despa’ch from London. The Queen made bim the offer in the jubilee vear of 1887, but he refused to accept the honor. Pro- bably he will not care to refuse twice. Moreover, during the past ten years his record and esteem in public lifenow make the promotion natural. Personally, there is no man inthe country who cares less for the outer pomp and circumstarces of his position. It is with great difficulty that he can be got to attend any crowded society function, or, being there, keep up a semblance of interest in his surround - ing?. In private life he is silent and likes to te alone, but is very even-tempered and generally cheerful. His chief friend in the Cabinet is Lord Halsbury, who isa man very much after his own temper. As Lady Salisbury has no eocial ambition, there will be no domestic pressure for him to accept a Dukedom. She is not in very strong health, and bas always been some- what of arecluse. Moreover, she has a positive dislike for some of the pres ot leaders of society.

BREAD WITHOUT FLOUR Made by Crashing the Wheatinto a Dough From Which it is Made,

(Montreal! Star.)

Bread without flour soands like an absurdity; something avheard of and = im— possible. And yet it has come to pass, for such bread is baked at the establish- ment of Mr. James Strachan, Montreal, and delivered to a number of his custom- ers. This process of breadmaking is new, it is simple and inexpensive and likely to revolutionize the bread-making of our cities. The process is technically known as the “Antispire Paniticator,” and simply described as follews: The wheat, just as it comes from the thresh- ing mill is cleaned by washing aad if Man- itoba No. | Hard, it is soaked in water for ashorttime. Qur Eastern or On- tario wheat requires washing only. The vrain is then ready to be reduced to a somogeneous paste or dough as the baker vould call it. The machine that does his is the feature of the procese. The one in use atthe Strachan bakery is a rmall one but capable of producing eighty rounds of paste per hour. It stands about feur feet high with asmal!l “hopper” on

A PLEA FOR THE HEN,

——e

It is said that you can “ow, if you are a good judge of dairy points, go ut into the country, and for $25, purchase a cow and pay yourself for the outlay in the fall when the factory closes. No doubt this is true. There are cows furnishing milk to almost every factory which realize $25 on their milk. Ifthe owner of sucha cow knew the potentiality of her abilities in this direction, he would hardly part with such an one for $25, though the story has come down to us that a man once sold a goose that laid golden eggs fora mere bagatelle. If a man had a breeding mare each of whose foals would be worth four times her own value, he would be considered a lucky maa, likewise would he, or, rather, is he, to own a sheep that would pro- duce four times her own value in one year. But there is a little animal in our barnyards that, good care and feed given, will at present prices, produce four times her own value in the twelve months. ‘That little animal is the hen. Like all our domestic animals hens ad- apt themselves to climatic conditions In the warm spring time they breed, and later, but in time for the pro- geny to attain sufficient strength to winter, they bring forth. Such are natural conditions with our domestic animals. Such are also the conditions that govern the wild animals of the wood—the bear, the partridge, both quadruped and biped. It, as a matter of fact, takes very little skill to follow nature in her Certain rigid laws. If the bear, the fox and the feathered songsters can bring forth their young, wi h sut our human assistance, what can we boast of if our domestic animals are doing no better. Is this only the result if domestication? But the hen is the animal now under consideration. Well on in March,on about St Patrick’s day, we,shall be expecting to find a few eggs in the barn loft, or in some old box or barrel which she has found warmest to build her nest. Meanwhile our hen gets out into the sunshine by the last of Marc. or first April; the snow is melting before the barn and the hens pick up a let of grain. ‘There are some

Rheumatism in various forms is one of the most common diseases there is. It arises generally from impure biood and a broken down system. In_ the limbs it is painful; in mort of the in- ternal crgans dangerous, and in the heart usuaily fatal.

The experience of Mr. 8. Mann, the well known general merchant of Stitte- ville, is interesting :

with rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Chase’s Pills. To surpris:. I got immediate relief, and before I had

For real cold, and plenty of it, one nust go to the Polar regions. Think of living wheres the mersury goes down te 46 Gegrees below zere in the house, :n spite of the stove. Of course, in such a sase, fur garments are piled on until a man looks like a great bundle of skins. I'e. Moss, of the Polar expedition of i875 76, among other things, tells of the ffect of cold on a wax candle which he burned there. The temperature was 35 degrees below zero; and the doctor must hase been considerably discsuraged when, looking at his candle, he discov- ered that the flame had all it could do tu keep warm,

It was so cold that the fame could not meit all the wax of the candle, this was forced to cut its way down, leaving 4 sort of skeleton of the candle standing. There was enough, however, to melt oddly shaped holes in the thin wal!s of wax, and the result was a beautifal lace- like cylinder of white, with a tongue of sellow flame running inside it, an” send- ing out inco the darkness many streaks of light.

When the skin is of a greasy nature the spots and pimples appear much more prominent and also the complexion very often assumes a muddy appearance. A greasy skin is much benefited bv us- ing a little toilet vinegar in the water, and also by wiping it over occasionally with eau de Cologne diluted with water.
