BREAD THU WORLD OVER.
Various Forms of the Stud" of I.llo in
Ul Ho rout Cnuntrii'ft of the Unrtli.
From Good IloUKelteepliiR.
"It Is a curious and Interestlnp;
study," says the superintendent of the
linklnp; department in a certain Indus
trial school, "to compnre the various
materials which serv the different na
tions of the world as the basis of their
bread In this country, where good
bread, made from spring and fall
wheat Hour, Is within the reach of all.
Rarely a thought Is Riven to the fact
that, nfter all, the inhabitants of only
a small portion of the earth's surface
enjoy such u food.
"In the remoter parts of Sweden the
poor people make and bake their rye
hrtnd twice n year, nnd store the loaves
away so that eventuully they are as
hard as bricks. Further north still
bread Is made from barley and oats.
In Laplund, oats, with the inner bark
of t!i2 pin, are used. The two togeth
er, well ground and mixed, are made
into large Hat cakes, cooked In a pan
over the fire. In dreary Kamchatka,
pine or birch bark by Itself, well mac
erated, pounded and baked, frequently
constitutes the whole of the native
bread food. The Icelander scrapes the
'Iceland moss' off the rocks and grinds
it into fine (lour, which nerves both for
bread and puddings. In some parts of
Siberia, China and other Eastern coun
tries a. fairly palatable bread is made
fioin buckwheat. In parts of Italy
chestnuts are cooked, ground Into meal
and used for making bread. Durra, a
variety of the millet. 1s much used In
the countries of India, Egypt. Arabia
and Asia Minor for making bread. Rice
bread is the staple food or the Chinese.
Jnpanefie, and u large portion of the
inhabitants of India. In Persia the
bread Is made from rice Hour and milk;
It Is called 'Lawash.'
"The Persian oven is built in the
ground, about the size of a barrel. The
sides ure smooth mason work. The nre
Is built at the bottom and kept burn
ing until the wall or Hides of the oven
nre thoroughly heated. Enough dough
to form n sheet about a foot wide and
about two feet long is thrown on the
bench and rolled until about as thin as
sole leather, then it is taken up and
tossed and rolled from one arm to the
other and Hung on a board and slapped
on the side of the oven. It takes only
a few moments to bake, and when
baked It Is spread out to cool. This
br.nd is cheap (one cent a sheet); It is
Hwcet und nourishing, A specimen of
the 'hunger bread' from Armenia Is
made of clover seed, (lax or linseed
meal, mixed with edible grass. In the
Molucca islands the starchy pith of tho
sago palm furnishes a white, floury
meal, This Is made up Into Hat, ob
long leaves, which are baked In curious
little ovens, each oven being divided
Into oblong cells to receive the loaves.
I trend Is also made of roots In some
parts of Africa and 'South America. It
is made from manioc tubers. These
roots are a deadly poison If eaten In
the raw state, but make a good food
if properly prepared. To prepare it for
brpad. the roots are soaked for several
days in water, thus washing out the
iwilsonjthe fibres are picked out, dried
and ground Into (lour. This Is mixed
with milk if obtainable, if not. water
I up1. The dough 1b formed into lit
tle round loaves.and bakes In hot nsh'es
or dried In the sun."
DON'T ALL liNLIHT AT ONCE.
Soldiering the Sufo-t Profession in
tho World.
From tho London Mull,
As it is by no means Impossible that
all able-bodied Englishmen may have,
Itr the near future, to become defend
ers of their country, it is reassuring to
learn, on the authority of statisticians,
that soldiering Is about the least dan
gerous profession in the world.
Protestant clergymen aro popularly
supposed to be the best male "lives"
going. Rut they die ut the rate of
nearly eleven per thousand each year,
while the BrltlBh army shuttles off this
mortal coll at a rate of less than five
per thousand. Even ludles' maids, who
have usually a life of great comfort and
llttlu work, die faster than this, de
parting this life at the rate of eight
per thousand,
'It might, well be supposed that the
troops who do as much fighting as the
lirltlsh soldiers abroad would be car
ried off In large numbers. This was
true In the paBt. when tho conditions
favored disease, but In these dnya war
Is by no means as dangerous. For In
stance, In all our wars of the past
twenty years, the death rate on the
tattle-field has been only fifteen per
thousand, per annum.
"Now solicitors cannot be said to be
engaged In very risky work, yet they
depart hence at tho rate of sixteen per
01 Ml
thousand per nnnum. Roman Catholic
priests die nt the rate of eighteen per
thousand, and cabmen nt the rate of
twenty-six per thousand. Your chances
of death, then, If you become a cab
man, are five times as great as If you
Join the nrmy at home, and nearly
twice nB great as If you form part of
tho fighting forces In India or Africa.
And there nro scores of trades such
as lead working, glass blowing, match
making, public house keeping, etc.
over so much more dangerous to llfo
than cab driving.
NAlI.i:i) THE LEG TOGETHER.
A Doctor's lliingllng Job Cost the
City 82,500.
From tho Kansas City Star.
It was only an old rusty tenpenny
nail, and It lay peacefully and bent
with age nnd usage on tho desk of tho
court stenographer In Judge Gate's di
vision of the circuit court today. Rut
It was not forgotten. There wero
touching references to It by the attor
neys, some of whom handled It fond
ly, while others referred to It with
sneers nnd discredit.
Rut, meaningless as It looked to bo,
It hnd played an Important part In the
life and limb of Mrs. Ella McClaln, who
lives near Fourteenth and Olive streets.
It had been used to nail her leg to
gether with.
One evening In December, 1896, Mrs.
McClaln ran over to a bakery operated
by her sister on East Fourteenth
street. They chatted pleasantly, and It
was 9 o'clock before Mrs. McClaln
started home. On Fourteenth street,
nenr Park, there was a sidewalk In
bad condition, nnd, too, a contractor
was repairing the street there, and
holes In the latter were Indicated by
red lanterns. Mrs. McClaln fell, and
the result of her fall was that both of
the bones below the knee of her left
leg were broken squarely off. Mrs.
McClaln weighs 100 pounds.
Doctors were called to set the bones.
The small one knitted all right, but the
large one didn't, and mado necesnsry
a serious operation. The surgeons
called nt her house one day. They
sawed off the broken ends of the bone
to make them smooth and fitted them
together again; but, being smooth, they
would not stay fitted.
"I'll fix It," said one of the surgeons.
"Have you a short piece of heavy wire
about tho house?"
One of the household brought him an
old tenpenny round wire nail with a
ilnt, round head.
"This will do," said tho doctor, nnd,
drilling n place for It, he drove the
wire nail In between the ends of tho
bone so they could not slip.
For five long months Mrs. McClaln
wore that wire nail In her leg, and re
cently the surgeons pulled it out with
nippers. It was bent in being .pulled
out.
The nail was Introduced in evidence
today In the trial of Mrs. McCIaln's
suit for $10,000 damages against the
city. The city tried to shoulder the
liability to the contractor, claiming
she fell In the street, and this Is where
the cookies come in. They were found
the next morning Ifi the gutter.crushed
and broken, nnd their position Is used
by Mrs. McCIaln's attorneys to prove
that she fell on the sidewalk.
The Jurv In tho case returned a ver
dict this afternoon giving Mrs. Mc
Claln $2,500.

Truth Crushed lo Rtinth.
From Good Stories
A worthy colored deacon, who find early
Impressed opon his only son and heir tho
moral of the George Washington cherry
tree story, was fortunate oiiuugh to Hud
a fat 'possum recently. Ho bore It In
triumph to his dwelling, and, assisted by
Ills son, cooked It to a juicy brown.
"Now," said he, "do best way ter eat a
'possum Is col', so we'll Jest let him stay
in de pantry, und when mawuln' come
he'll bo mo' Juicier dan ever."
Ills son seemed sndly disappointed, but
he made the best of It, and both retired
for the night.
The old man was up early next morn
ing, but the boy slept on.
On opening the safe the astonished pa
lent discovered nothing but bones In tho
dish that had contained tho 'po?sum. Ho
brought the drowsy vnungster to his teet
with one vigorous Jerk, and, dragging
him to the scene of the wreck, ho said.
"What does dnt moon, oh?"
Tho boy fell on his knees, und cried:
"Daddy, I can't tell a He: t got up in
de night and eal it wld my little moul'."'
The old man said not a word, but,
drugging tho boy to the front door, ho
held him by the collar while he Jerked a
piece of weather-boarding from tho sldo
of the house.
"Daddy!" cried the boy, "is you gwlne
tor lick me ter tenia' the truth?"
"No, you kinky-headed dcbbll, you,"
thundered tho od man. "I gwlne ter frull
de hide off you for oatln' de 'possum!"
Dr. Holmes mid tho Agent.
Charles Francis Adams told .Mr. Morso
that one forenoon, when ho und Mr.
Schurz were rnlllnjr on Dr. Holmes, a
copy of Worcester's "I'nabrldged Dic
tionary" lay on the lntter's desk. The
doctor told them that a canvasser for
"The Century Dictionary" had Just
called, teaslns him for a subscription.
"No," said the doctor, "I'm too old-tiO
years I shan't live to see thu Century
finished." To which tho oncouruging
book agent replied: "Nay, doctor, vou
won't have to live so very much longer
to use our book; we's already got to U."
"And you may go lo I,, If you like," ex
claimed tho little doctor; und the can
vasser went somewhere.
Oldest Lock in HxUtenco.
"The oldest lock In existence Is the one
which formerly secured ono of tho doors
of Nineveh," says tho St. I.ouls Republic.
"It Is a glgantlo uffulr und tho koy to it,
which Is as lurco as ono man can con
veniently carry, remind Jtio of the Scrip
tural roforenco to sucn Instruments be
iif carried on the shoulder. Ths oxact
words aro: 'And tho key to the houso of
David I will lay upon Ills shoulder. Tho
key to tho look from Nineveh is nearly
three nnd n halt feet In length and of
tho thickness of four-Inch druln tile."
Those Dreadful Sores
They Continued to Sproad In Splto
of Treatment but Now Thoy aro
Healed -A Wonderful Work.
"For many years I havo been a great
sufferer with varicose veins on ono of my
limbi. My foot and limb becamo dread
fully, swollen. When I stood up I could
feel tho blood rushing down the veins of
this limb. One day I accidentally hit my
foot against some object and a soro broko
out which continued to spread 'and was
exceedingly painful, I concluded I
needed a blood purifier and I began taking
Hood's Samparilh. In a short tlmo
thoso dreadful sores which had caused
me so much suffering, began to heal. I
kept on faithfully with Hood's Sarsapa
rllla, and in a short timo my limb was
completely healed nnd the sores gave mo
no worojialn. I cannot be too thankful
for the wonderful work Hood's Bsrsapa
rllla, has done for me." Mns. A. E.
Qilson, Hartland, Vermont.

Though It was 2 o'clock In tho morning
they accepted his invitation.
Chessley stripped and put on his now

still prancing about the room before his
admiring friends a commotion was heard
out in the hall and cries of "Stop thief."
Chessley threw open his door In time to
see a man darting down the stairway.
Ho dashed after the fellow and after a
sprint of half a block caught him. When
Chcssloy took him by the collar ho whirl
ed mound us If he Intended to light, but
when ho had sized Jim up from the top of
his head to his spiked soles his Jaw
dropped, ho shook his head hopelessly nnd

Two Wise Fisherman,
Congressman Charley Crisp und Solic
itor General Frank Hooper decided Inrft
week, says a Ooorgla paper, to havo a
big fishing frolic befpre el tcrlng on their
duties as congressman and solicitor gen
eial. They wtnt down to C'.iptaln Seals' flsn
pond, near Americas, procured his Ash
ing boat, und wero about to. embark,
when ono of them discoered tho fish
tank In It, which is- kept .tuppliott with
fresh water by augur holes In tho bot
tom of the bout.
The llsh tank attachment was a new
fangled thing to our young congressman
and solicitor geficral, and they viewed It
with dire disttust.
"We'll ball 'the dang thing out!" ex
claimed Solicitor Frank.
"That's Just what we'll do," chimed In
Congn ssman Charley.'
Getting buckets, they set to work, de
termined to dip tho boat and tank dry
before rlsklnc their precious carcasses
out on the water In It.
Bucketful after bucketful of water was
dipped out and splashed back Into tho
pond, as lower sank the sun In the west
ern sky. Still on and on dipped our gal
lant fishermen. Great drops of briny
perspiration rolled down the manly
checks, and they puffed and blowed like
lolllcklng porpoises, but they wero good
grit and determined not to bo fooled out
of their fish frolic by a small obstacle.
They were mad enough to break the
third commandment, but, being reminded
that It would make the fish not bite,
they refrained and dipped on at a livelier
speed.
Tho slorlous orb of day sank behind
the western horizon and night began to
spread her sablo mantle over the scene,
but the water In tho tank remained ex
actly on n level with the surface of the
pond us on and on dipped the patient
fishermen,
Just as they were about to conclune
that tho bout wus hoodoed and utterly
unsafe, Captain Seals appeared and ex
plained the fish tank. Then there wero
two very blank looking faces, and a con
gressman and solicitor general sneaked
off to kick themselves.
