The BAKERS OF PhRIs.


Worn Out at thu Age Of 90.
lParis Cor. Chicago Journal
Partisan bakers excel all Others in the
quality of their bread and yet its pro-
cess of making seems to date almost
from the time when Abraham com-
manded Sarah, to knead fine meal, and
make cakes to give a morsel Of bread to
his three angel visitors. The bakers
are the most inoffensive of citizens;
like the butchers, they will never be
found to figure in political riots or
revolutions. The bakers life passes
away in silence; he works by night and
sleeps by day. He is generally married,
and his numerous family shows how he
ignores Nautilus. He leaves that philos-
opher to recruit his adopts among the
wealthy.
Being only passing rich, on 8 francs a
day, he can not enjoy the liberality of
the new college tariff, which allows tho
parent having five sons boarders
in the establishment, the fifth to pay
nothing. That resembles tho assistance
rendered in early days by the pawn
brokiug institutions which lent only to
the rich. The baker is living anatomy
pale, thin, pr%ematurely old. a martyr
to rheumatism, and ever suffering from
a graveyard cough. He works in a eel
lar, from z in the evening till 4 in the
morning, almost naked and between a
current Of air flowing from the street
ratings to the mouth of tho fiery fur
mace. Tho work is so severe that no lad
is taken as an apprentice till between II
or IS; his life is worn out at so years,
and | never heard of any insurance
Office accepting bakers lives for any
risk.
Listen to the sigh, and note the head
drop as he puddles at the dough. Each
thud is a premature beat in his funeral
march to.the grave. No wonder that in
early Rome, slaves, aye, and in chains
too, were condemned to the k%neading
trough and four.mill as penal punish
ment. In the fourth century in France,
so difficult was it to obtain men to make
bread, that the master bakers estab-
lished public houses near their work
shops to entice men inside, and when
the visitors were muddled they we're
dropped through q trap-door and made
captive for life. 1t was a soldier who
escaped divulged this Tour de Nesle.
This may explain why the Romans in
sisted that the sons of bakers should be-
como bakers.

a queer iargon is this Chinook. Once
upon a time, whep there were very few
people of very many nations in that
vast region dominated by the fur com
panies, embracing Oregon and Washing
ton territories and all the country lying
to the northward the French, perhaps,
being numerically tho strongest, a sort
of congress Of national representatives.,
formulated this universal language to
facilitate intercourse.
The words in most common use were
adopted, a few of them purely native
dialect, but a very large proportion
bastard French. The remainder are
simply phonetic, expressing, when pro-
nounced, the ideas conveyed by the
sounds; for instance, a steam engine is
puff puff, and ha-ha is laughter. There
are about $50 words in all, and with
this limited vocabulary and the use Of
signs, d man can travel the whole
northwest over. In fact, Chinook has
almost superseded the native dialects.
of which there are no less than ten
upon the coast, and perhaps as many
more in the interior. The different
tribes seldom attempt to converse in
each others language.

ALPINE TOURISTS AND GUIDES.


the Rope-Foolhardy Daring.
youths Compartment
The Alpine life-preserver is the rope.
Without this, successful climbing is i'm
possible, and life is needlessly risked.
! rope, an alpenstock, or long pole with
u sharp iron end, and an ice ak, are the
guides stock in trade.
The rope in general is MANILA, weigh
ing n little over an ounce to the foot,
and capable OF sustaining a dead weight
Of more than twenty tons. The rope is
from 100 to 200 feet long and is fast
cned about the waist Of every member
of the party, who marching in single
file twelve or fifteen feet apart, keep
the rope perfectly taut at every slept.
As a rule, however, the Alpine guides
are careful and brave. Their principal
danger often comes from the foolhardi-
ness of the people who look to them for
protection, but who refuse to follow
their advice. Some travellers persist in
crossing glaciers without using ropes.
or in ignoring the instability Of new
snow, or in talking continually, and
thereby ~exhausting themselves before
they are halfway up the mountain.
They walk into with their
eyes turned skywards, and the guide
risks his life in pulling them out again
They refuse to husband their strength.
and the guide has to carry them down
steep paths barely n foot wide, with
a frowning wall Of rock on one hand.
II l, 000-foot precipice on the other, and
a swaying body on his back.
In climbing the Alps, both tourists
and guides take their lives in their
hands. But the tourists are emboldened
to the risk by a love of adventure or a
~foolhardy daring. They risk their lives
needlessly. But tho guides make it
their daily work. They are protectors,
pilots, rescuers. Upon them depend
the lives of hundreds of people, and to
a V or protect these lives they are for
ever e~ndangering their own.

Paul Guttmana, in a careful study Of
the bacilli Of leprosy, observed in ele-
waited nodosities in a girl between II
and 10 years of age, found the microbes
always collected in cells, afeature which
distinguishes them at once from the
bacilli OF tuberculosis, while the fact
that they stain more easily than the lat
ter further distinguishes them. The
bacilli are found especially in the skin,
but also in other organs the seat of the
disease, and ever in the blood. AS a
rule, the organisms are extremely num-
erous at the seat of the LESSONS. Their
microscopic appearances are the same in
every case, and hence it Is no longer
doubtful that they are the cause of the
leprosy, Notwithstanding the failure of
attempts to ~inoculate animals. These
seem to be refractory to the disease, in
asmuoh as in no case has it ever been
observed among them.

The feeling of the Southern Bourbons
towards the Republicans among them,
and especially towards those who are
leaders in the party organization, are
well shown in the following extract
from New Orleans special to the Chi
cGgo Tribune. MEADE, who presided
over the meeting of the Copiah County
Democratic Central Committee at the
time it endorsed the foul murder of
PRENT. MATTHEWS, was recently ap-
pointed postmaster at Hazlehurst, that
county; but on learning of his record
in this matter, President Cleveland de-
manded his resignation:
A prominent Mississippian to-day
denounced the administration in re-
spect to the Meade case in unstinted
terms, and said: 1T has got beyond
necessity fconcealment that the xii.
ing of Prent. Matthews was a political
necessity. He was educated, well of
and hard headed. He held the ne
groes up to the Republican rack, and
persuasion to desist had no effect upon
him. So long as he wouldn't quit
he had to be killed in order that Mis-
sippi should be and remain Demo
cratic state, and that Democratic
President might be elected. Why

Seeding to Grass.

Our greatest need now is, to grow
more grass; not more acres but more
to the acre, leaving a larger area OF
ground for fodder and other crops
raised on mixed farm. This can onlv
be done by better preparation of the
soil, and better seeding. Instead of
throwing the seed in a haphazard way
upon the hard weathe r-beaten surface
of the ground in the spring, the seeding
should be postponed until the grain is
cut and harvested. The soil is then
to be plowed with shallow furrow,
thoroughly we'll narrowed. and made
fine and compact. The seed must be
sown and Immediately brushed in with
the smoothing brush harrow, which is
easily made. This levels and firms the
soil. as we'll as spreads and covers the
seed. 1t is well TO use this harrow eros
wise of the harrow marks, and across
the line of sowing, so as to spread the
seed more evenly. 1t is better still to
SOW the seed both ways, half each way,
il the sower is not able to spread IL
quite evenly. The even sowing is very
important, because bare spaces are a
great injury in two ways; one, that the
ground is vacant, and will produce
weeds In the bare spots; the other
that the grass is too crowded where
it is too thickly sown. Grass seeds
IL sown as here directed, will. start NJ
quickly and grow rapidly; if the seed
ing is done in july or early in August
the young grass will be strong enough
to resist the winter safely, and heav.
crop will be the result.-American A9

Among the Farmers,

During the forepart of the week we
were invited to take a ride into Craw-

Royce, Ball township, with we ac-
cepted, and we were most agreeably
surprised at the amount of farming

late settler, having been there but two
years. and is now quite comfortably
situated. He has substantial frame
house, and some Is or 20 acres of inn
provements, and his crops look well.
On our way through South Branch,
we passed the farms of George Haii,

II. Head, j. Miller, Geo. Langdale,
Daniel Posse, Chas, Reed, w. York,
Geo. Downs, j. S. Trask, j. Raizon,
and d. Dunn, on which the various
crops of rye, wheat and oats looked
fine. and the clover on some of the
farms can't be beat in some of the old
er settled counties further north. We
also passed the new farm Of Jas. Utter.
Mr. Utter moved in some six weeks
ago. and for the time he has been there,
has made great improvements in the
sSay-of- f~r.sirrsy urru -creHring
The farmers we talked with seem to
be well satisfied. and say it is only a
question of time to make this one OF
the best growing gram districts in the
State. We have any amount of such
land in this county that would make
many a poor man good home If they
would only come and improve it. W.
arrived home somewhat tired, but felt
well repaid for our time, in witnessing
the success of the farmers in this and
our neighboring county. --Roscommon
