Sun's First Visit in Days.
t "Look," mister! What's that?" ex
claimed a caddy to a solitary golf
player on the links, relates the Indian
apolis News.
The player, who was addressing his
ball, knowing that the caddy must
have bad a good excuse for violating
an luflcxlblo rule of the links by
speaking when a player Is preparing
to drive, looked up and saw a huge,
fiery ball, dimly poised, lu the south
west. "Oh, it's the sun. I can see It now,"
suld the caddy, as a cloud of mist
rolled away. "It was Just a streak of
red when I first saw It."
The slcht was really phenomonnl,
for all the sky seemed to be clouded
except one small place that bad been
penetrated by the sun's ruys. Almost
as tho caddy spoke the veil of mist
shut out the ball of fire, and the sun's
first visit In days bad 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 ot brendmaklng le degenerating. It
Is too much trouble to mix and knead
and bake the beautiful brown loaves,
the spicy buns, the tempting rolls. The
best tinkers' bread Is far Inferior to
the home-made product, and I rejoice
that breadmaklng, as well as 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 Orst attempt."
