Of all appeals — although
I grant the power of pathos and of gold,
Of beauty, flattery, threats, a shilling — no
Method's more sure at moments to take hold
Of the best feelings of mankind, which grow
More tender, as we every day behold.
Than that all-softening, overpowering knell.
The tocsin of the soul — the dinner bell.
— Byron.

"Would you know how first he met her ?
She was cutting bread and butter."
— Goeihe.
PERPETUAL YEAST— Mrs. Briggs
A quart preserving can is the most convenient thing to start
and to keep this yeast in. To begin a can of this perpetual yeast,
dissolve a compressed yeast cake in a quarter of a cup of lukewarm
potato water — ^that is, the water in which the potatoes for dinner
are cooked. Fill a quart can of glass half full of lukewarm potato
water. Add half a cup granulated sugar to it, and when this is
dissolved add the quarter of a cup of dissolved yeast. Stir well and
set the can containing the yeast in a moderately warm place, but
not where it will be heated perceptibly, and let it stand until the
whole is very light. Seal up the can and the day before you are
read}' to make bread, fill the can full of lukewarm potato water and
add another half cup of sugar. Let the can stand for about twenty-
four hours.
