EEa Saved the Trains.

a few evenings ago, as Albert +.
Poole, youth of II years, was walk
ing along road near Savin Hill, just
out from Boston on the Old Colony Line,
he saw a wagon standing directly across
the track. Poole struck match, looked
at his watch, and shouted to the team
ster that within the next five minutes
three trains would pass that spot. The
driver appeared to be confused or be
fuddled. Poole at once decided to take
matters in his own hands. He saw at
glance that the heavily-laden wagon
was stuck hard and fast between the
tracks, and that should train come
along from either direction great dam
age would be done. He jerked off his
overcoat and ran at the top Of his speed
to the station. There he procured a
red lantern from the station keepers
wife, the only adult around, and ran
down the track. The O'Clock "steam-
boat' train was due, but not in sight.
Poole bounded along swinging his red
light, stumbling, falling and regaining
his feet until the welcome whistle of
down brakes reached his ear. Then
turning he ran TO stop an inward bound
accommodation train, which he barely
succeeded in doing. The trainmen
grumblingly put their hands to the
wheels and removed the obstruction.
In the morning papers next day Poole
read that three trains were brought to
standstill near Savin last evening by
a drunken fellow with red light"
Still he had the satisfaction of feeling
that but for his GOODNESS ana activity
many lives might have been lost.

Never buy what you don't want be-

Never put off till Tomorrow what you
can do to-day. How much pain the

you speak; if very angry, count hum

In the neurological lists for 1880 it APP
pears that self murders number some eight
hundred, though doubtless many more O.
cured, which were not reported. Begin
ming with March, the largest proportion of
suicides per month continues up to Septem-
Der. For September, October, and Novem-
Der the monthly average of self murders is
only thirty nine, much less than half what
it il during the hot months. The minimum
is reached in October. With December the
hist begins to go up again, increasing irreg-
uhrly up to its maximum in July. The
figures show that more people commit sui
eide from emotional disappointments and
disturbances than from any one other cause,
and next, whiskey plays the most promin-
ent part. Far more men than women kill
themselves, although man is supposed to be
stronger minded than his sister. OF women
prostitutes commit suicide oftener than any
others.

ADVICE from Jefferson Davis is not likely
to be very palatable, though full Of wisdom.
In late interview, he remarked that salaries
Of public officials were getting too high. He
told how members Of congress-, when they
we're getting smaller salaries, usedto club to-
getherin mess to save expense, andall public
officials used to live on a less expensive scale,
and affirmed that "our form of governments
safest when there is degree Of independ-
ence of the people among themselves, and
especially when officials receive moderate
salaries and live within their MEANS"

ed congress it's authors averred that the sum
of 1915, 600, 600 would be more than enough
to meet all requirements. Up to November
1 last 1924, 900, 486 had already been paid out.
1t is ascertained at the pension bureau that
the average arrearage due the pensioners on
the list is 1861 The average amount to
arrears on new cases is 81, 100 There are
now 49,, 597 cases on file awaiting settlement,
and the bureau estimates the number of
claims that will be allowed will require $217,-
599, 800 for arrears alone, and that over $780,
600, 600 will be added to the amount required
annually for payment of pensions. No move
ment is on foot to have the time extended
for fling of claims for arrears of pensions.

Bread Making in Spain.
From the English Farmer.

The bread in the south of Spain is delici-
Gus; it is as white as snow, close as cake,
and yet very light; the flour is most admir-
able, for the wheat is good and pure, and
the bread we'll kneaded. The way they
make this bread is as follows: From large,
long panniers filed with wheat, they take
out handful at time, sorting it most
carefully and expeditiously, and throwing
every defective grain into another basket.
This done, the wheat is ground between
two circular stones, as it was ground in
Egypt.2 900 years ago, the requisite rotary
motion being given by blindfolded mule,
which passes around and around with I'M
firing patience. a bell being attached to his
neck, which, as long as he is in movement,
tinkles on; and when it stops he is urged to
his duty by the shout of *'arra mula" from
some one within hearing. When ground,
the wheat is sifted through three sieves,
the last of these being SO fine that only the
pure -four can pass through it; this is of a pale
apricot color. The bread is made in the
evening. It is mixed with sufficient water,
with little salt in it, to make it into dough;
very small quantity of leaven or yeast in
one batch of household bread, as in Spain,
would last week for the six or eight donkey
loads of bread they send every day from
their oven. The dough made is put into
sacks and carried on the donkeys' backs to
the oven in the centre of the village, to
bake it Immediately after kneading. On
arriving there the dough is divided into
portions weighing three pounds each. Two
long, narrow wooden tables on trestles are
then placed down the room, and curious
sight may be seen. About 20 men, bakers,
come in and range themselves on one side
Of the table. A lump Of dough is handed
to the nearest, which he begins kneading
and knocking about with all his might for
about three or four minutes, and then pass
es it on to his neighbor, who does the same,
and SO on successfully until all have knead-
ed it, when it becomes as soft as new putty
and ready for the oven. OF course, as soon
as the first baker has handed the first lump
to his neighbor, another lump is given to
him, and SO on until the whole quantity of
dough is kneaded by them all. The bakers
wives and daughters shape the loaves for
the oven. and some of them are very small.
They are baked Immediately.
