Sun's First Visit In Days.
S "Look," mister! What's that?" ex
claimed a caddy to a solltury golf
player on the links, relates the Indian
apolis News.
The player, who was addressing his
ball, knowing that the caddy must
have had a good excuse for violating
an lnflexiblo rulo of the links by
speaking when a player Is preparing
to drive, looked up and saw a huge,
fiery ball, dimly poised, iu the south
west. "Oh, It's the sun. I can see It now,"
said the caddy, as a cloud of mist
rollod away. "It was just a streak of
red when I first saw It."
The sight was really phenomenal,
for all the sky seemed to bo clouded
except one small place that had been
penetrated by the sun's fays. Almost
as the raddy spoke the veil of mist
shut out the ball of fire, and the sun's
first visit In days' had ended.

Burchard writes an article entitled
"Breads Made With Yeast," In which
she gives a number of recipes. Fol
lowing Is an extract from her general
comment:
"In these days of bakeries on every
corner in town, and traveling bread
wagons through the country, the fine
art of brendmaklng Is degenerating. It
is too much trouble to mix and knead
and bake the beautiful brown loaves,
the spicy buns, the tempting rolls. The
best bakers' bread Is far Inferior to
the home-made product, and I rejoice
that breadnmklng, as well ae stocking-
darning, is being taught in more pub
lic schools each year.
"The bread-mixer makes the process
so easy and simple that almost any
one can succeed In the first attempt"
