Pilot Bresd the Flr3t Variety Mad In tha United States. The first cracker produced In tha Vnlted States, so fur na known, was pilot or ship bread, a lHrge, round, clumsy, ertBp affair, which supplied the demand of the merchant marina for an article of food that would, un like ordinary bread, keep for a pro longed period. Later another variety was originat ed, the cold water cracker, wtitch dif fered from the first chiefly in its smaller size, more compact texture, and greater hardness. For a long time these two were the only goods known to the trade..

It was not until some time later that raised or fermented dough was used In the manufacture of crackers, and it Is only within the past seventy years that any great variety has been produced. SHOPPING IN SASSAFRAS. The Most Ancient Man. The average reader does not see much difference in age between hu mnn remains found In the beds of the Pleistocene and the riioceno, but to the geologist the difference Is very great, only he cannot express It In years of centuries. Until recently the oldest remains of man known dated back to the middle of Pleistocene. Among these are the celebrated relics from Ueanderthal, Spy and other places. But In' October, 1907, a lower human Jaw was found in deposits at tributed to the early Pleistocene, or even the late Pliocene. This would give it a greater antiquity than any of the others, and entitle it to be called the oldest remains of the human species. The teth are well preserved. The most remarkable feature of the 'Jaw Is the absence of a chin. The canine teeth are not unduly promi nent, and the dimensions of the teeth are within the limits of variation in living man.

You showed power and strength beyond anything I ever expected to llBten to, and you was lightning quick into the bargain. "Anybody that heard you could tell you'd worked hard and long and steady to get your trade. But I toll ye who else had ought to have some credit that's the man that made the piano you played on. " Tain't every Instrument that would stand the strain you put on it, not by a good deal. "I should caU It the praise ought to be divided pretty even betwixt ye."

"A country vacation Is better tlmn a sennhore one," she said. ' "You see things so much quainter. And the further Into the country you go the quainter become the things you see. "I once spent August in a village called the Head of BaxHafras, a vil lage down in Maryland. The postofllce there was the general store. The morning after my arrival I went to the general store for my mail. "A little girl preceded toe with an egg 'in her hand.

"Please, ma'am," broke in the boy, with his mouth full of cake, "it wasn't me you saw; it was Billy, and hu I gave me a dime to come and take your Jawing." The Photography of Wordi. Mons. Devaux-Charbonnel has lately photographed the variations of cur rent in a microphonic circuit, by the aid of a Blondel oscillograph. The photographs are reproductions of the syllables pronounced by a human voice, and It Is expected that they will be of use in the solution of vari ous problems in telephony. In study ing the Impressions made by syllables, the experimenter found that each syl lable la composed of 30 to 40 complete vibrations. The beginning and the end of the syllables are modified by the Impressions of the consonants, but the modifications cover only 4 or 5 periodSi so that each syllable has 20 to 30 regular vibrations correspond ing to its vowel. The method permits the study of. the higher harmonica which give character to words. your Her Proper Place. Father-in-Law. "Where's wife?" ' Young Husband. "At the Suffra gette meeting, I guess."
