An Article of Food Which is Considered
Delicacy by Many.
Wash perfectly clean half pound of
potatoes and then steam them without
removing the skins. Mash them thor
oughly with a half pint of flour, half a
pint of tepid water and half an ounce of
salt. When well mixed, put away in a
place where the temperature is seventy
eight degrees of Fahrenheit for one
hour. Then add and mix with it half a
pint of good yeast and put away in the
same place for nine hours. 1t may re-
quire somewhat longer than nine hours
or little less, but it may be known in
this way: The compound will, after
awhile, gradually and slowly foam for
some time and then begin to fall; as
soon as it begins to fall mix little tepid
water with it and strain through sieve;
throw away potato skins and eyes; mix
what is strained with two pounds of
flour and sufficient .,tepid water
to make an ordinary dough. Put
it away again in the same place until
it cracks on the top, which will
occur in about an hour. Then put six
pounds OF Hour on the pasteboard and
make hole in the center; place in this
little tepid water and cracked dough;
salt to taste; kncad the whole well with
water enough to make an ordinary
dough. To knead it well tits necessary
to raise the dough, Or partit, and then
throw it back with force on the paste
board. The more the dough is kncaded
the lighter the bread. Then shape the
loaves, let rise, and bake in a-quick
oven. To shape loaves of French bread,
divide the dough, as soon as kneaded,
in as many parts as you want loaves;
then knead each part, one after the
other, so as to form sort of ball; then
by rolling and pulling it, give it an
elongated, sausage-like shape. A pound
loaf can be made one and one-half feet
long, as well as four inches; it will, of
course, be narrower and thinner and
have more crust.-1oWn Topics.

BARBED WIRE.
How to Lessen the Damage Done by
Barbed-Wire Fencing.

DHEocu- WNc ChChS'
Since the use of barbed-wire fencing
has come into vogue SO extensively,
complaints are heard on every hand of
the damage caused to animals thereby.
Many valuable colts and horses have
been killed by running into the cruel
barbs, while the ides of cattle are SO
scratched and torn that they are rem
dered almost valueless for leather-mak-
ing purposes. The cause of so much
damage is that at short distance the
antics around the inclosure horses fire.
quently run at full speed against the
fence without being able to check their
headway in time to prevent being hurt
by contact with the barbs. So greatly
have stock owners suffered from this
reason that the entire abandonment of
this style of fencing has been decided
upon in many cases, and board fences
have been substituted at large cost
The trouble may be obviated in large
measure by substituting for the two top
wires of the fence boards either four or
six inches wide. BY this means the
stock will have no trouble in discerning
the whereabouts of the fence, and dan
ger from laceration by the barbs will
be almost entirely prevented, since it is
from the upper wires OF the structure
that the most trouble is experienced.
The change may be made at very small
additional cost over the wire, especially
when the fence is SO built in the
first place. Three wires and two
boards will be found to make very
substantial and stock-proof fence, and
when four-inch lumber is used the cost
will not be excessive. francisco

Taken for German Spies.

well to provide themselves with IL pass
port, and to have it properly viSe, to
Judge from the experience of Mr.. STAN
ley Weyman and his brother near Pau.
For some cause or another, the unfor-
tnate pair were arrested on suspicion
of being German spies and lodged in
most uncomfortable cells during whole
night, and even some hours after tele-
gram had been received from Our Vice
Consul at Pau establishing their identity
One of the brothers was in possession of
passport, as well as bankers letter
of Recommendation, but the village
officials would not accept these as proof
of identity, and the Procureur of Oloron
when ordering their release, refused to
grant any redress, on the score that the
passport was not else for France, and
the bankers letter was printed and not
written. This may be strict French
law, but should like to see the matter
taken up.-London Truth.

a BRIDAL GARTER.
An Ancient Alsatian Custom and Its
Disagrecable Results.

An Ancient A1satlan Custom and Its
Disagrecable Results.
The old custom still prevails at we'd
dings in Alsace for the friends of the
groom to claim the BRIDES garter for a
talisman or trophy. This part of the
ceremony generally takes place at the
w,dding meal. Formerly the bride was
obliged to allow one of the young men
to take off her garter in the presence of
all the guests, but in our more prudish
times she takes it off herself, handing
it to the one best entitled to it. The
garter is then cut into several pieces,
every guest receiving his portion. The
ladies wear it on the left breast, the men
zen boutonniere. All guests wear this
token during the festivities. Recently
the niece of the burgomaster of Ortsche-
beiler, Miss Zimmerman, was married
to Mr.. Lerbs, of Ullenheim. During
the dessert the garter was cut and di-
vidcd among the guests. 1t was red,
white and blue. Thus each of the
guests was decorated with the French
colors. Some of them promenaded the
streets, and in the evening appeared in
the cafes still wearing the trophy. Sew
eral of the guests, among them the
tavern-keeper, Geist of Sehlettstadt,
wore the little ribbon next day ON a
railroad trip. A conductor, feeling
himself called upon to make some
unpleasant remarks, Mr.. Geist
retorted with abusive epithets.
The matter was reported to the
prosecuting attorney. The official saw
in the wearing of French colors. upon
the streets and in public places (and
more especially the day after the cele-
bration of French national festivaD, a
political demonstration; and conse-
quently caused the arrest of all the par
ticipants in the wedding dinner. The
ten culprits were brought before the po-
lice magistrate at Colmar. Singularly
enough, the charge was brought under
an old French decree which, under the
Republic, was probably issued against
royalist maneuvers, prohibiting the
wearing or exhibition of seditious en-
blems under severe penalties. Mr. Geist
was charged in addition with insulting
an officer All the accused admitted
having worn the little ribbons, without,
however, noticing its colors, but pro-
tested against the assertion that po-
litical demonstration was intended. The
prosecuting attorney, however, insisted
upon the point, and manded the pun
ishment of the accused under the law
of 1913. The defense claimed that the
wearing of ribbon in the button-hole
especially upon such an occasion as q
wedding, could not be punishable un-
der law against the wearing of sedi-
tious emblems. The magistrate, more
sensible than the prosecuting attorney,
sided with the defense, declaring that
he could not see the violation of the law
in question, and discharged the accused.
Thus ended this queer attempt of en-
forcing German patriotism in the old
French province of Alsace.-M Y. Her

Potatoes and rurnips for Colts.

Potatoes, carrots and turnips are good
food for horses, and are said to be ex-
celent to expel worms from the bowels
More horses, and especially more colts,
die from worms than is generally sup
posed. And the longer farm is used
for breeding horses, OF for breeding
sheep or hogs, when these animals are
made n specially, the more surely do
these animals become subject to the
worms that are common 10 them.
Whenever you see colt falling away,
becoming dumpish, you may reasonably
expect the cause is worms. If you
would save the colt you must expel the
worms, and it is said that potatoes and
potato peelings If eaten by colts will de-
stroy the worms. 1t takes time and
patience to get them to eat them. Small
pieces must be sailed little, and put
with bran, or oats, or corn-meal, and
they will soon learn to eat them with
avidity. Colman's Rural World.

"Bill Ridly is wolf," said old Judge
Bicknell.
"Why do you think so?" some one asked.
"Well, / tell you. Some time ago, n
roughly dressed man with bushy red
whiskers rode up to my house and wanted
to sell me n horse, a lean animal, but one in
which saw many fine points. The fellow
said he was in such need OF money that he
would take twenty dollars for the animal.
! gave him the money and took the horse.
The animal iattened rapidly. found him
equally serviceable in shafts or under the
saddle. One day, shortly after the animal
had developed into as fine a horse as l had
ever seen, Bill Ridiy came along and
claimed him. He brought forward suffi
cient evidence to establish his claim and of
course gave up the horse, thereby losing
my twenty dollars besides losing the time l
had spent in working with him."
II don't see how you can blame Ridly."
"You DON'T then l will show you. The
scoundrel wanted his horse fattened but
was too stingy to spend money for corn,
80 he disguised himself, sold me his own
horse then, after the horse was fat, came
back and claimed him. Yes, Billy is n
