Evolution of the Cake.

IN 1854 Christopher Ludwick, a native
of Hcssc-D armstadt, a baker by trade,
settled in Philadelphia and opened a
shop on Fifth street, above Race, which
was then quite suburban. Ludwick had
been both n soldier and a sailor, having
served in the former capacity in the Aus
trian army during the war against the
Turks, and afterward on one OF the ships
of Frederick the Great. He sailed to
both the East and West Indies, and
learned TO make pastries of all sorts. He
soon acquired a reputation in Philadel-
phia as a baker of gingerbread, which
was then considered quite a luxury, and
in a few years he became the possessor
of a comfortable fortune. When the
wal for independence begun, Ludwick
took an active part in the affairs of the
struggling colonies, and in 1776 acted as
a volunteer, serving without pay. In
1777 the Continental Congress appointed
him ''Baker General to the army. He
was required to furnish 100 pounds of
bread for every 100 pounds Of flour that
passed through his hands.
Ludwick protested that he would not
make himself rich in that way. He said
he could make 135 pounds of bread
from 100 pounds of flour.
lie was as good as his word, and as
long as he could obtain flour the Cont
mental soldiers did not suffer for bread.
Washington had great respect for his
shrewd common sense and sterling in
tegrity. He often invited Ludwick to
dine with him, and spoke of the shrewd
old baker as "his honest friend
The war crippled him financially, but
he still managed to live in considerable
comfort from the profits of his ginger
bread sales. One of his most valued
possessions was a letter from General
Washington thanking him for his service
as ''Baker General" He called this his
''diploma," and hung it, suitably framed.
in n conspicuous place in his little shop.
Before he died his fortune mended and
he left considerable property in charity,
and an excellent receipt for making gin
gcrbread. lie died in 1901, and is buried
in the Lutheran cemetery at Mount Airy.
His tomb is now gray and moss grown.
Christopher Ludwick was the father
of the fancv.cakc business in Phila-
dclphia. In his time homely molasses
gingerbread was a luxury. To-day one
Philadelphia bakery puts on the market
between two and three hundred styles of
pastry and is constantly adding to this
stock every day. There are five great
bakeries in the city engaged in the manu-
facture of cakes. They ship their goods
all over the country, to China, Australia,
the East Indies, and that home of pastries,
England. Christopher Ludwick mixed
his dough in a wooden trough, and
baked his sweet cakes in an old -fashioned
brick oven. A dozen labor-saving
machines take the place of the old hand
labor, and the patent ovens are heated
by steam. PdItdelphit Times.

Old Age.

With every year the average duration
of life is increased, and we have more
old people on our hands. Naturally,
the question becomes of increasing in
t%erest, How shall we secure a hcalthful
old age, and how can we prolong in
comfort this scniiity2
Some curious information regarding
this subject, though more especially re-
garding what may be called ''ccntcna-
rianism," has been published by a gen
tleman of Syracuse, n. y, who, we are
informed, has collected the histories of
10, 900 people that have passed the age
of 100 years. According to this author
ity, the United States leads in centena-
rian longevity, while Connecticut is
ahead among the States. AS to sex,
women; as to occupation, soldiers.
sailors and farmers are the longest lived.
Among the professions, 100 ministers,
thirty doctors and ten lawyers reached
their centennial.
OF more practical and scientific char
acter are the statistics regarding longev-
ity obtained by the British Collective
Investigation committee. These are based
upon over 800 returns, and relate to per-
sons who have reached or passed the age
of eighty.
Professor Humphrey, Of Cambridge,
has given some interesting deductions
based upon the returns in an Grafton de-
livercd before the Medical society, Of
London.
The first requisite for longevity must
be an inherent quality of endurance,
n something which is Unborn and per-
n NC ip1orito1 Il &c rAtt,aob1n +ho+ +ho
phthisical faint does not necessarily les
sen the capacity for longevity. Among
800 aged persons, phthisis appeared in
fathers, mothers, brothers, or sisters of
cighty-two, that is, in about seventeen
per cent. In one case both father and
mother were phthisical.
A second requisite for long life is
freedom from exposure to casualties. 1t
is on this ground, in part, that more
women than men reach extreme age.
Other reasons, however, are, perhaps, a
greater natural vitality, since even in
early life the mortality is less among fc-
males than males. 1t docs not seem to
be proved by the data collected that
short and small men and women have
any advantage over those who arc taller
and larger. The average height of old
E%nglishmcn is five feet six inches, that
of women five feet three inches.
Sir Henry Thompson, in a recent arti-
Gle on ''Diet III Relation to Age" has
called attention to the harm that comes
from attempts to over-fecd old people.
They are injured, he truly says, by the So
l~icitous relatives, who think
that in feeding there is sure
help for the waning strength.
The old need a light diet to correspond
with the lessened work and slower nu-
triton and waste of their tissues.-Neii

in contact with people of other nations.
Further inland no chance is afforded for
practice, but many of the people read un-
~dcrstandingly languages which they do
not speak. There are those OF the island
who have travelled extensively in
other countries, and having studied
their institutions and learned Of the pco-
pie, are now trying to give their coun-
trymen the benefit of that knowledge
and to gain from other people that recog-
milton to which their native land is GER
tainiy entitled. Two or three learned
societies lead a furnishing existence
here; and after years of inactivity the
country is again bringing forth authors
and scholars who cannOt but be recog-
nized among those of other nations. At
several places on the island there arc well
equipped printing Offices. From these,
every year, arc turned out books, the
workmanship of which, both in typo
graphy and binding, often surprises the
visitor. At Reykjayik, four modest, but
ably conducted, newspapers appear reg
ularly, two OF them weekly and one each
hi and ~tri-monthly. At Akurey'ri we
find two more, and at Seydisfjord, on
the east coast, another, each appearing
thirty times a year.-NeD York. Times.

A Big Storm Wave.

Captain Parsclle, OF the White Star
steamship line, contributes this to a
group of storm wave stories:
| was off the coast of Japan, captain
of one of the finest steamships at1oat.
We were in IA typhoon. They call them
typhoons there, but they are identical in
character with our own cyclone and the
African tornado. 1t was an awful storm,
the worst | ever saw. The wind howled
and shriekcd and raved like a million
demons loosed from the StyX. The seas
struggled with each other for our pos
session, and roared the most internal
noise as they broke over us in mercilesS
force. The sky was inky, but not n
drop of water fell. My chief officer and
myself were standing on the bridge direct
ing the helm. Suddenly, directly in front
of us, about 100 yards away, l saw a
most prodigious mountain of water. Its
towering crest was lashed into a white
foam, aud appeared just between the
two yards of the mast. Above the din
of the storm | could hear the awful bass
roar of that monster wave as it came to-
ward us like u steam engine. | turned
to my officer. His face was rs white as
chalk.
"'IIerc's the last of our good boat,
my boy | said, and turned her nose
right into the wave.
Her bow rose until W. were almost
perpendicular. | almost thought we
should he thrown over. The crest struck
us and blinded me so that | could not
see. And then, so sure rs | am an honest
man, her bow fell and her keel rose, and
we passed over that most terrific wave as
gently as Il chip over a mill-pond ripple!
/ never was so d~umbfounded in my life,
for | fully expected that moment to be
the last hat ship would ever know,
These yarns, mind you, are my own per-
sonal experiences, and l give my word
of honor for their truth"

After confidence is inspired q sudden
skillful stroke is played which is gen

lis it a fact that stones having all the
properties of the diamond have been
produced by scientific mcans2n
THE first efforts to produce diamonds
dates back to the middle ages. 1t must
be admitted, however, that during the
last half century the systematic expert
ments of many scientists, in France es-
pecially, have been rewarded with some
amount of success. Such great minds as
Sir David Brewster, De Latour, Gannal,
Dcpretz, etc, have given themselves to
this exciting pursuit. The scope and
method of their experiments are too in
volved for a brief explanation. 1t is un-
deniable from the experiments of De
pretz and De Chancourtois (Which are
the most recent that diamonds can be
produced by the action of strong electric
currents and intense heat. The gems
produced so far have been of the very
smallest size; the only problem now is
whether gems of mcrchantablc dimen-
sions can be manufactured in the same
way.n

Among the Zunis Indians, with a guest
at the table, it would be considered
shameful for any one Of the household
to cease eating while any other remained
obviously unsatisted and equally shame
full for any one not to cease eating very
soon after even one Of the othcrs-if u
respected or elderly one-had done so.
When guest or inmate, man or child,
ceases eating he clears his throat and ey-
claims: "E'lah-kwa! S'ha-yu-shith-

The instant reply, made by all the elderly
women, is: ''E!-I-ta!" Cat we'll to

The following little incident of the
strike at Denver stands forth promi-
nently without precedent in railroad cir
cles: General Manager Clark of the
Union Pacific was in Denver, week be-
fore last, on his way to Georgetown.
During his stay in the city he was hon
ored by visit from committee of the
knights of Labor, who demanded an in
crease of wages. Upon the general
manager S refusal to concede their de-
mand, he was calmly informed, that in
the humble opinion of the committee,
the climate of Colorado did not accord
with his physical wants, and that they
had decided that Nebraska was more
salubrious. The managers car was
taken into the shops, and the change of
trucks from narrow to broad gauge was
made, and at the hour and day appointed
his special car was drawn into the Union
depot, and Mr.. Clark boarded the train
and left for Omaha in compliance with
the committees request. And strange
as it may seem the very man, who Or
dered Mr.. Clark out of the state is now
working in the Union Pacific shops at
Denver.

The London Times says, in an edito
rial upon the death of Victor Hugo, the
great French poet and literateur, who
died last Friday:
'This event is one that touches the whole civ.
ilized world. Victor Hugo was by common con
sent the greatest poet since Goethe. To all
even to realists in literature, the chief of the
romanticists, was until the last being re.
garded differently from other men. Posterity
will doubtless modify this judgment, but it will
at the same time admit that much may be
urged in its support" The Standard says,
"Victor Hugo did not attain the highest liter.
airy rank, but he was generous and magnifi-
cent lyrist whose music will long haunt the car
of mankind"
