Even in the most ancient times
different foreign matters were mixed
with bread. In Thracia, bread was
mixed with powdered dried roots, in
Syria with dried mulberries, in Egypt
with whole grains.
l.. modern times, in Sweden they add
70 tie bread powdered dried fish; in
Ireland and Iceland, moss, which be-
sides being nutritious keeps the bread
from drying; in Prussia, white clay,
which contains alkali salts and makes
bread very light; in Russia, powdered
bark or finely chopped straw. On
the western shore OF England certain
kind of sea weed CPorphyra laciniata is
gathered, washed, boiled and then
baked with oat meal -four.
In Africa, powered dried locusts are
mixed with bread, in India potatoes
and pea flower, and during the famine
ever stones ground to fine powder were
used in the latter country.

In the middle ages there were two
chances of life at the last moment ac-
corded to a malefactor condemned to
death, besides a free pardon from the
sovereign. one Of these was the acct
dental meeting of a cardinal with the
procession to execution; the other was
the offer of a maiden to marry the con
demned man, or, in the case Of a wo-
man sentenced to death, the Offer of a
man to make her his wife. The claim
Of the cardinals was a curious one.
They pretended to have inherited the
privileges with which the vestal virgins
of old Rome were invested.

lNew YORK letter.
Several guaranty and fidelity com
panies have lately come into use here in
New York. These concerns insure en-
ployors against loss through the thctts
Of employees and relieve the latter of the
often difficult task of finding available
friends to take the risks. Not less than
5000 men are already bonded in this
way by the companies, among whom
brisk rivalry has already arisen. \ lists
TO their Offices show large premises and
numerous clerks, indicating far more
labor than would be requisite for merely
making out the papers and dealing with
customers up to the point of completing
the bonds.
The explanation is that the most elab-
orate systems of watching the insured
men, and registering their habits, is in
operation and already the extent and
thoroughness Of the espionage has be
come an acute nuisance to its subjects.
To feel that his every action may be un
der surveillance by a spy is annoying in
many cases wherein the man is we'll

order of things has developed. But
there is no escape, because the exist

the First Regiment, last evening, was a
brilliant affair. The severity of and the

thus happily screened from sight by a
mammoth design of flags and shields OPP

floor and in the galleries tables
with cooling drinks and confec-
tons, while i'll the gun room a

guests had access at will after 10 o'clock
The music was by Jones, Beebe & Grants

programmes were handsome double cards,
and provided FOR thirteen engagements
The guests were received at the door by a

and the direction was such as to reflect
great credit upon the Club. The ladies
who engaged in the dance were, with
but few exceptions, costumed in rich
fabrics of white, or in delicate col
ors, with here and there some very
strong colors, making striking and
pleasing contrasts. Probably two hundred
couples engaged in the dance. and as many

the galleries were filled with spectators

scene by the display of snowy uniforms
