Even in the most ancient times differ
ent foreign matters were mixed with
bread.
In Thracia, bread was mixed with
powdered dried roots, in Syria with
dried mu!berries, in Egypt with whole
grams.
In modern times, in Sweden they add
to the bread powdered dried fish; in
Ireland and in 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 is gathered, washed,
boiled, and then baked with oatmeal
flour.
In Africa, powdered dried locusts
are mixed with bread, in India potatoes
and pea -four, and during the famine
even stones ground to fine powder were
used in the latter country.-Seinfife

MASON VALLEY LETTER.
GREENFIELD, Nov. 2oth, 1885.


EDITOR TIMEs.-Although but a
stranger in this beautiful, enterprising
town, l must say, more united class
Of citizens l never met, and l opine at
no great distant day will be seen large
and hourshing village where Greenfield
now stands, for when people of com.
munity pull together as one man, great
good must be accomplished. The con-
struction Of a half mile race track, and
the united efforts OF the citizens to or.
ganize and maintain a County Fair fore i.
tells the wisdom of the people, "United
they stand, divided they fall" 1t was
my pleasure to attend grand ball, on
the evening of the 10th inst, at the
hotel kept by John S. Craig. The dance
hall is large and commodious, and was
literally crowded with stair women and
brave men," from the village and sur
rounding valley. The ladies without
exception were richly and neatly attired,
and the gentlemen; also, showing plain.
ly, that they were not among the lowly.
The music was Of the highest grade,
would compare favorably with much
larger town. At IL o'clock, supper
was announced, and sixty couples,
marched into the spacious dining room,
and sat down to tables fairly groaning
under the weight Of delicacies spread
upon them, supervised by "mine host"
and his estimable lady, supported by a
corps of handy walters. There was
enough TO eat, and every one did eat.
After supper dancing was resumed, and
kept up until daylight. 1t was frequent
ly remarked, that it climaxed any dance
ever before held tn town. Suffice it to
say, that every one seemed TO enjoy
themselves, and nothing went wrong to
mar the happiness of any; showing
plainly what a small community can do
when they all pull together. The writ.
er would like to enjoy many such part.
les, and would were he a resident OF the
beautiful Valley. However, we shall
ever wish the citizens of the Valley
prosperity. ELMO.

JAMES q. BLAINE got $1,000 more
votes in New York City than were cast
for Ira Davenport. He got nearly TO-
900 more votes in the city than were
cast for Garfield. He received 1000
more votes in the State of New York
than were cast for Garfield. He has a
stronger personal following in New York
than any other living man, and a strong.
er following drought the country.
so II there are any Republicans who
believe we might have done better in the
last campaign il we had had different
candidate, let them disabuse their minds
on that subject. Blaine was our strong.
est man, and there is not the shadow of
reason for the Republicans of the
United States to reflect upon themselves
for having nominated Blaine irish

One night last week Daniel John
son, an old colored man living in the
Second district, heard "racketn in
bis poultry house, and suspectine that
something was wrong, he took his
lantern and started to ascertain the
cause. He could see no traces Of a
supposed thief but 10 one corner OF
the house be saw the carcass of duck
and near by the glistening eyes Of q
distinguishing animal, which. upon
closer inspection, proved to be an
opossnm. lie took the nocturnal thief
by the tail and would have dispatched
him on the spot, but be would spare
bis life for q future feast. On bis
way to the house, and near an old
building in the yard be saw some
thing like dog run across the ward.
dragging after it one of his fat geese.
He cried at it in loud voice, and was
surprised to see it run up tree 10
the yard. johnson began to think
he was beset with all the varments oil
the woods. He made a bright fire
under the tree, whereby he was able
to discern the object Of his pursuit,
stretched out among the branches
lie went into his house, got his gun,
and fired the contents at the object
which proved to be large coon
johnson says be thinks he got the
best of the bargain--he lost duck
and goose and got an opossum and
a corn. He had been missing poultry
on several occasions, and was under
the impression that it had been stolen,
by some thief.
