A Connecticut m.vi was looking
over a list of figure J while his wife sat
near sewing away at a great rate
when all at once he exclaimed:
Hy Ned Sarah, would you have
thought that?"
"Thought what?" she asked with
that strange obtuseness of wives which
is so provoking to their husbands.
"Why, by this table of population,
just issued by the Census Bureau, I
find that there are 89,672 more men
in Michigan then there are women."
"And we have seven unmarried
daughters, Josiah," she said, putting
down her work.
"Yes," he replied, vaguely.
"Well, what are you sitting there say
ing 'yes' for?" she asked, pettishly.
"Why don't you get up and go to
packing? I'm going to move right into
the State of Michigan before that sur
plus 89,672 is all taken up."

A broad aaaartinn la mnila tint It la
BTrthlM a true one, that there are I
e two countries in the world where the
people make and eat the same kind of
bread. Even in such closely kindred
countries as England America there ex
lite a decidad difference of opinion ia re
gard to the consumption of this staple
erttcle of food. The American euetom
of eating biecuite as hot aa they can be
handled from the ovtn ie regarded by
John Bull with even a greater meaaure
of disfavor than that of swallowing big
tumblers e( ice water at our meals. Mr.
Bull, he of the cellarf ul of tine old crusted

rota, mince pie and Gorton sola, cheese,

the dyspepsia of hie Cousin Jonathan

In France the ordinary loaf aaeumee
the proportions of a roll the site of a
man's fore arm, and four feet long. In
any French village, about meal times,
grown people and children may be seen
walking sedately along the etreeta with
k four-foot etiok of bread thruat nnder
each arm. A carelers youngster some
time forgets himself to the extent of
lettiDg the hindmost end of the stick
trail along the ground.
Not until one get down to the princi
palities of the Balkan peninsula does
any really noteworthy innovation occur.
Here one finds the medium between
Asiatic and European methods of making
bread. The medium is far from being a
happy one, however; no more execrable
bread ia to be found the whole world
round than is served up to a traveller at
the wayside mehanas of Bulgaria. Be
side being villainously heavy and well
nigh black, it is course and repulsive,
almost as wet saw dust to the palate ;
sand, moreover, outers vory largely into
its composition from carelessness iu
handling aud milling the wheat.
This stylo of bread confronts the dis
gusted European traveller for the first
two hundred miles beyond the Bos
phorus, until one gets pretty well out of
the Greek and Bulgarian settlements in
western Apatolia, where another decided
change is experienced. Here we com
suddenly into the realm of the simou
pure unleaveued variety of Asia. - Bread
ia now called ekmek, and takes the form
of flat cakes or sheets about two feet in
diameter and the thickness of ordinary
blotting paper.
The necessaries for the preparation of
this ekmek are coarse wheat flour,
water, mixing trough, rolling pin, a
large thin griddle and a slow burning
subatance called texek for a Ore. Taking
these simple ingredients outside the
house early in the raoruing, the Turkish
or Armenian female kindles the fire,
mixes the dough, rolls it out, bakes it
and stacks enough of it up to eerve her
household for the day. When fresh and
warm this bread is tough and cloggy ; a
few days later it loses something of its
clogginese, but retains its toughness,
and ae it advance In age it becomes
brittle and hard. It is as indestructible,
healthful aud useful an article of food as
the hard tack Issued to the ancient mar
iner and the old man of the sea.
Iu Asia Minor, as in all other coun
tries, however, the luxurious require
ments of city-bred people demand eomc
kind of improvement on the driven and
goat herds. Therefore, in gratification
of their epicurean tastes, the ingenious
Oriental baker lias conceived and pre
pared little hoops or rings of bread about
tire slxe of the rope quoite aboard an At
lantic steamer. These novel preparations
are made of finer and whiter flour than
the ekmek, aud are rendered light and
aristoeratio by the addition of sour
dough or other leavening substance.
This sort of bread prevails throughout
the citiee of Asia Minor, and the use of
ekmek extends eastward among the
peasantry of western Persia as far as
Tabreee. Here the staff of life under
goes another transformation, end in
many respects a change for the better.
The nune of the Persian city basaare is
really excellent bread, most Europeans
giving it preference over every kind they
are acquainted with. Nune is turned
out for proper consumption and approval
in the forms of flat cakee a foot broad
and three to four feet long. The baker
takee a lump of dough of the proper sixe
and rolls it dexterously into the proper
shape and thickness on his bare forearm.
He then flips a light shower of water
over its surface, and with a masterly
toss spreads it over a bed of heated peb
bles. Contact with the almost red hot peb
bles quickly converts it into a cake of
nicely biowued indentations and spongy
risings that reuder it almost as light as
if leavened with yeast. The peasantry
of eastern Persia and Khorassan make a
coarse imitation of this same form of
bread, which is also very palatable aud
wholesome when eaten fresh. The cakes
ore smaller aud thicker than those of the
city baker, and their baking apparatus is
altogether different. The oven is a huge,
upright earthenwsre jar. This is heated
to the proper consistency by inserting
live coals and covoriug up the top. The
dough, being patted out into a cake by
the hands, the woman sprinklee it with
water, dabs it against the inside wall of
the jar and theu quickly replacee the
cover; in a few mloutes the cake is
nicely baked. .
Ik Afghanistan the people adopt the
Persian methods of bread making, with
out possessing the same skill or extr
ciaing the same cure and trouble in its
preparation.

last Sunday on his friend's cutter. lie
didn't seem te know anything about

almost smiled hs theynuugmun tumbled
over the coils of rope that seemed to he

The breeze was "sou'-so'west, sir,"

the tired young man had looked all over

After dinner on the yacht off Hull, all

a hand to furling the mainsail, housing
the topmost and then pulling up the
anchor, for there was no time to use the
windlass.
The air stiffened till it was nearly a
gale. Water poured in over the lee scup
per. The faithful deckhand was away
out on the footrope under the bowsprit,
and by some means or other his boot
had become tangled in a trailing sheet
line. Somebody must go to help him out of
his unfortunate predicament. Every
time the boat rode over a vt ave it plunged
again, and the deckhand got a lively
ducking.
The captain didn't care to leave the
tiller, and tho other fellows thought it
was all a good joke.
"Beastly shame!" criod the tired man,
"Somebody oupht to go to him. "
"Go yourself 1" was the only consola
tion he got from his critics. "Jove, I
fancy I'll have to," he answered, and
went up forward.
In a twinkling he was fur out on tho
bowsprit, while every time the nose of
the boat ducked he got a soaking ; but he
helped the man, and by the time he got
back into the standing room everybody
was praising him for his courage.

I"uro Deiuocrallo Doctrine.
Tho Erj'irjirur carried in its Washing
ton (lisputchea tho editorial of tho New
York Herald comiucudinsf the Demo
cratic platform for it declaration that
congress 1ms no constitutional power to
levy tariff dnties except for purposes of
revenno. But it ia strange that Tho
Herald chould fancy this to be a new
departure. It is Democratic doctrine as
old as Jefferson. And there is one other
whose memory Democrats love and re
vereone Andrew Jackson. He was a
Democrat all throiitfh and friend of
the people always. In his farewell mes
sage as president of the United States he
used these words: "Congress has no
right nnder tho constitution to taker
money from the people unless it be re
quired to execute some one of tlia spe
cific powers intrusted to the gotern
ment, and if it raise more than U
necessary tar such purpose it is an abu
of the power of taxation and unjust ami
oppressive." Andrew Jackson was right. '
and the Democratic platform of 189
simply follows his vigorous declaration.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Everything Is Taxed.
The American laborer in the most high
ly protected industries goes upon a strike
against the lowering of his wages, wear
ing a cap taxed 50 per cent., a shirt taxed
80 per cent, and suit of clothes taxed 100
per cent. He talks the situation over
with his wife, and until the sheriff dis
trains on him for his rent he rests his
feet, wearing shoes taxed 25 per cent,
upon a carpet taxed 50 per cent He
cuts the bacon produced by tho unpro
tected farmer with a knife taxed 100 per
cent., and if his wife cries over their
prospects she wipes her eyes with a hand
kerchief taxed 55 per cent. If nhe does
not persuade him to go back to work at
lower wages his place is supplied by tho
foreign pauper labor of Bohemia or Po
land, and he has leisure to reflect on how
protection helps him. Baltimore News.
Thut Wasn't Klectton Year.
In swinging around the circle last year
President Harrison at Omaha gave ut
terances to a sentiment that was virtual
ly a severe criticism of various Repub
lican policies. He said that the theorv
of our government "is largely individual
liberty, and to take out of the way of
legislation that obstructs the free, honest
pursuit of human industries, and to al
low each individual to huve tho best pos
sible, chance to develop the highest pros
perity for himself and family." This
declaration goe3 much further in the di
rection of free trade than nnything con
tained in the Chicago platform. Yet it
should be said that Mr. Harrison's acts
have been utterly inconsistent with his.
owa declaration. Buffalo Courier.
Low Wages Follow Protection.
The lowest wages paid in this countrv
for labor at all skilled are in industries
having protection, and none of them
pay any more than the market rate fior
labor, while all strive to appropriate the
entire tariff bounty to themselves and
give workmen no share. AU ultra pro
tectionists harp continually upon the
alleged high wages paid by American
protected manufacturers to their foreign
imported laborers, but an examination
of the payrolls shows that the claim
consists chiefly of imaginary money and
that in point of fact they are the poorest
paid town laborers in the United Btates,
and the more highly protected tho fac
tories are the less the vaes. Chicago
