Mr.. Shurz is right in asserting

In The Ford Case.

Counsel for the accused in thiJ

felt throughout that the sanctitv of

neither can it be expected that the

We think on this account main

The ordinary reader undoubtedly knows
4 netting ia general way about the ba-
ker's art, but IN cosmopolitan city there
are about as many varieties OF the 81 d OF
lite as there are nationalities. The pret-
zel is peculiar 10 the German table, and
perhaps the process OF preparing IL is less
familiar IN tgis country than that OF any
other article Of food. Flour, Yeast, water,
and great deal Of salt are the sole in
gradients OF which the dough out ofwhich
the pretZel is evolved is composed II is

well kneaded Is placed in great heaps on
a long table in front OF the wOrkmen
They grab il up by handfuls, roll il out in
'Ong, thin strips. and then curl and tie

makes it, appearance IN beer saloons and
on cheap lunch counters. A journeyman
baker Is expected TO make one pretzel
every two seconds. After it has assumed
It's definite form it Is laid upon a wooden
rack in the middle Of the room. Rack al.
ter rack Is thus filed. aud they are piled
one above another. Each one contains
100 pretzels. A thousand are generally
prepared ior the oven before the baking
begins. The ovens are OF enormous size.
The pretzels are baked very thoroughly,
and are regarded as especially wholesome
for this reason.
Then comes the most singular part OF
the process. Racks, charged with pret-
zels, are dipped IN a weak solution Of I've,
the effect OF which is 20 give 20 their sur
face bright and glossy app arance. Az
ter being thickly sprinkled with salt they
are ready for sale. Those that are intend
ed for shipment, or 20 be kept for some
time. undergo an additional pi ocess Tney
are placed IN steam box, and remain
there for two or thres hours. This sort OF
cure makes them proof against mold or
sOuring for months. One OF the greatest
peculiariies OF pretzels is their salty
taste, ana they c0nduce TO the greater
consumption OF beer. But so much salt is
used simply for the purpose Of preventing
them from becoming stale. They are

Why Bismarck Admired Fleury.

The stories that Bismarck likes best
are those of men who have outwitted
mobs. During the siege of Paris, while
he was at Versailles, pass was applied
for by a relative of M. Cuvillier Fleury,
the eminent critic and member of the
French academy. The chancellor at
once gave the pass, saying; M. Fleury
is an admirable man. l know a capital
story about him. The story was this:
NJ Fleury, who had been tutor TO the
Due d'Aumale, was in 1S4S private secre-
tary TO the Duchess of Orleans. When
the revolutions of February broke out, a
rabble invaded the Palais Royal, where
the princes IS resided, and began smashing
works Of art, pictures, statuettes, and
nicknacks. All the household was seized
with panic except NJ. Fleury, who, throw
ing oil his coat, smeared his face and
hands with coal, caught up poker and
rushed among the mob, shouting
Here, I'll show you where the best
pictures are. So saying he piled his
poker upon furniture of no value and,
thus winning the confidence Of the
roughs, was able to lead them out of the
royal apartments into the kitchen regions,
where they spent their fury upon the
contents of the larder and cellar The
sequel of this story is very droll, and
Bismarck relates it with great relish. A
few days after he had saved the Palais
Royal, NJ. Fleury was recognized in the
street as the Duchess of Orleans secre-
tary aud mobbed. He was being some
what roughly hustled, when hulking
water-carrier elbowed his way throu Oh
the throng and roared "Let that man
be We is one Of the right sort. He
