Wouldn't Do for Her.

Mrs. Newrich, a wealthy lady on her
travels, visited Paris, and while there
it occurred to her that it was the proper
thing to have her portrait painted by a
famous artist. Accordingly she hunted
up the studio of painter of high repu-
tation, and raped at the door. Apupil
of the great painter opened the door to
the lady.
will you kindly sit down and wait
a few moments?" he asked, when Mrs
Newrich had stated her errand.

Common-Sense Bonnets.

There is certainly change for the
better in the shape and size of winter
bonnets. Women who this time last
year sought a head-covering for the
genuine protection it would afford them
were in despair. The old favorite
shapes disappeared like magic, and
they were simply informed in the shops
that they ''were not worD,n and a bon
net any wider of crown than two hands
put together in the shape of a shed roof
it was impossible to procure at any
price. The folly of fashion was carried
to still more ludicrous and inartistit
extreme by the brims, which were out
of all proportion to their absurdly high
crowns and face trimmings. This sea-
son all the exaggerations ara modified

BUILDING HOG PENS.
Description of One That Secures Warmth
Cleanliness and Pure Air.

Description of One That Secures Warmth,
Cleanliness and Pure Air.
In building new pens or changing old
ones in which the hogs are to be kept
during winter. care should be taken tC
construct them in such way as to Sc
cure warmth, cleanliness and pure air,
lacking either of which stock can not
be expected to thrive. 1t is the custom
of some to elevate the pens about three
feet from the ground, the idea being
that hogs fattened in such pens can be
more easily loaded into wagons, when
they are moved in this way, to be
shipped to market. Pens built in this
manner, unless set upon walls so the
cold air can not circulate beneath them,
can not be made comfortable.
Some little time ago one of our CORE
spondents reported his experience with
such a pen. He said his hogs came out
of their beds in the morning sweating,
sometimes quite wet, although they
were supplied quite literally with bed
ding which was changed frequently.
The hogs appeared feverish, and did
not thrive as they should. 1t was
decided to tear down the old pen and
build another on different plan. Walls
were built forty feet long and twenty
feet apart, the space between being
filled with stone broken fine on top, and
then made level and smooth with
gravel, on which tight plank floor
was laid. The pen was then divided
into five spaces, eight feet wide, less for
partition and end walls. Nine feet OF
each division was used for a sleeping
and feeding place, five feet for place
in which the hogs deposited their ma
nure, leaving the rest for passage
way. Opposite to each large window
was placed, which gave light and
through which, in pleasant weather,
the sun shone for several hours each
day. A story was built above for the
storage of food, which was thus always
convenient for use, and enabled the
work of feeding to be done much more
expeditiously than when food had
to be carried from separate build
ing.
After the hogs were placed in this
pen there was no further trouble on
account of their sweating as before. and
they were always healthy.-Nat,onal

UNCULTURED BUT RICH.
A Short Biographical Sketch of Sidney Dbl

A Short Biographical Sketch of Sidney Dill
Ion, the Railroad Man.
Sidney Dillon is one of the constantly
talked of millionaires Of New York.
His fortune is variously estimated at
from SIS, 900, 900 to $25. 600, 900. and he
has for good while been identified
with the corporations that Jay Gould
money, he occupies but little space,
having no interest in public affairs, in
literature. science, art or society. The
wealth he has acquired he owes entirely
to himself-a fact he fully appreciates,
and is not unwilling to rehearse. A
native of Connecticut, l think, born of
poor parents, and OF humble anteced-
ents, he had scarcely any regular edu-
cation and was at an early age thrown
on his own resources, which were not
limited. After trying a variety of
things, and meeting with slender
success, he was drawn to railroads
when they began to be built in this
country, and was, l believe, a brake
man for a while. He had, how
ever, too much intelligence and enter
prise to remain in so unremunerative a
place. He rapidly advanced, and in
due time was a contractor to build new
lines, and as such laid the basis of his
future riches. Since then, a period of
forty years, he has been steadily heap
ing up money, and. since the war, has
been associated with some big railway
operations, knowing just when to take
hold and when to let 60 of them-a
valuable secret, which he might have
learned from a younger master, Jay
Gould. He has an Office in Wall street,
and may be found there almost any day
in business hours. Although in the
neighborhood of seventy, he is hale and
hearty, and gives evidence of ten or
more years of usefulness to himself. OF
full habit and forid complexion, his
white hair becomes him, and he looks
as serene and contented as if he had
passed his life in benefiting his fellows.
He does not dislike them; but he gives
himself no trouble concerning their
progress and amelioration, one of the
cardinal articles of his faith being that
every man should paddle his own canoe.
He has certainly padded his to pecun-
larry purpose. What he lacks-mental,
moral or social cultivation-h does not
care for or miss; what he has-a vast
property and the capacity to increase
it-he understands and thoroughly en-
joys.-Cosmopolitan.

ANTIQUITY OF BAKING.
4 Prehistoric Art Practiced by the An
cient Egyptians and Hebrews.

4 Prehistoric Art Practiced by the An.
cient Egyptians and Hebrews.
The origin of baking precedes the
period of history and is involved in the
ob,curity of the early ages of the hui
man race. Excavations made in Swift
erland gave evidence that the art of
making bread was practiced by our
prehistoric ancestors, as early as the
stone period. From the shape of loaves
1t Is thought that no ovens were used
at that time, but the dough was rolled
into small round cakes and laid on hot
stones, being covered with glowing
ashes. Bread is mentioned in the book
of Genesis, where Abraham, wishing
to entertain three angels, offered to
'fetch morsel of bread" Baking is
again referred to where Sarah has in
structions to make ready quickly
three measures of fine meal, knead it,
and make cakes upon the hearth. y"
Lot entertained two angels by giving
them unleaven bread. The mere NEIL
ton Of unleavened bread shows that
there were two kinds of bread made
even at that time.
The art of baking was carried to a
high perfection among the Egyptians,
who are said to have baked cakes in
many fantastic shapes, using several
kinds of flour. The Romans took up
the art of baking and public bakeries
were numerous on the streets of Rome.
In England the business of the baker
was considered to be one so closely af-
fecting the interests of the public that
in 1866 an act of Parliament was passed
regulating the price to be charged for
bread. This regulation continued in
operation until 1922 in London, and I'M
til 1886 in the rest of the country. The
art OF making bread has not yet reached
SEINE countries in Europe and Asia. In
the rural parts of Sweden no bread is
made, but rye cakes that are baked
twice a year and are as hard as flint
1t is less than century ago that bread
was used in Scotland, the Scotch
people of every class living on barley
Udu1OCh5 anu OdGcH Cdheo. O"llS
to the fact that bread is sold very cheap
ly in Great Britain, the bakers of that
country are poorly paid class of la
borers. For years the employers made
use of child labor to such an extent
that parliament in 1868 passed a law
making it a criminal offense to employ
a young person under the age of eigh-
teen years to work in a bakehouse be-
tween the hours of nine p. m. and five
a. m. As most of the work done by
bakers is in the night, this statutory
law in Great Britain virtually prohibits
child labor in bakehouses. In all coun-
tries of the world wheat -four is the
principal material for making bread,
although rye is used largely among the
peasantry in some parts OF Europe.
The price of bread has always followed
the market price of wheat very closely,
and a recent rise in wheat advanced the
price of a pound loaf in Chicago % per
cent. Chicago News.

TRIALS OF THE OBESE.
Sorrows and Tribulations Too Often Il

Sorrows and Tribulations Too Often tho
Lot of the Over-Fed.
The pale invalid does not mark fresh
proofs of emaciation morning after
morning with half so keen a solicitude
as that shown by the threatened
victim of obesity; for invalids as a
rule, are rather careless about person
mel. while people who are growing
stout often disclose an eager regard
for it. Their constituencies. too, has
become proverbial; and 1 should say
that thfs rose from a solemn feeling
that they are becoming gradually
pressed away by their own avoirdupois
from all the romantictism and pictur-
sequences of life. But especially is
this true when they are of a softer sex.
Flesh has wrought more dolorous havoc
in the feminine than in the masculine
bosom. We all find that a fat Romeo
is somewhat crucial to put up with,
but we will not have a fat Juliet at
any price; we should prefer one,
indeed, beside whom Sarah Bernhardt
would be trifle plump.
1t has been my impression that the
sorrows of fat women still wait to be
sympathetically recorded. As class,
they have been ridiculed abundantly.
Their kindlier chronicler has yet to
look into his heart and write about
them. He will tell you what agony
they have suffered from the simple
phrase, You appear to be very well. ="
and how they have furtively shuddered
when the word healthy" has left the
lips of some innocent friend. He will
touch upon those bitter qualms of en-
barrassment which are felt when a
member of their portly set shall enter
a street car and find that two men rise
gallantly instead of one. He will men
ton, also, their tremulous distrust of
fragile-lo0king chairs. But this will
not include the whole substance of his
exposition, for he can not, as a con-
scientious analyst, ignore those data
of dieting whichtnclude a fervid cult
of roast beef, fish and lemon juice,
coincident with an avoidance of suga-.
milk and potatoes. 1t will all be d
sorrowful history when some one shall
some day indite it. 1t will be replete
with heart warnings, but it must like
wise be sadly pregnant with warnings
of more prosaic and carnal kind

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
Constant aud Rapid Growth of the PED
ples Using 1t.

In. an article; 1.-THE Future of the
Notwithstanding races" Mr.. Glad
| stone computes that the habitual speak,
ers of English have increased from 15.-
600. 900 to 100000, 900 during the last
one hundred years, that they will num-
Der 120, 900, 900 by the year 1900, and at.
the rate of increase, seven times in
century,, they will include SAC, 900
of people by the year 1000.
The increase during the last century
has, of course, been due chiefly to the
growth of the, United States. Since
1887 our population has been multiplied
twenty times, while that of the British
kingdom itself has only little mora
than doubled. We have increased
from about 5000, 900 to more than, Co.,
900. 900, and England, including all the
British isles, has increased from. a.
600, 900 to 50, 100000. In other words,
while this country contained only. one
| fifth of the. total of English-speak--
ing people century ago, it now con-
tains three-fifths.
The increase during the next century,.
as computed by Mr.. Gladstone, must
also be in the United States in chief
part. If the present rate Of growth.
about 8 per osnt. annually, should CON-
tinue, our population 100 years bence'
| would be 700, 600, 900, or nearly twice
the present population of China Even
assuming the gradual fall Of the ratio'
of increase. to 2 per cent. a year, it.
would be mMe than $50, 900, 900, and by
the year 2tNO out of the 10000, 600
English-speaking people in the world
more than. three-fourths would bein.
the United States.
Mr.. Barham Zincke, a well known
writer, as.pnished the world in 1888 by
estimating, that in 100 years from that.
time the aggregate OF the English-spsak-
ing races would be 1000, 100000. OK
these he gave the United States $780,
OOO, 900, estimating our rate OF increase,
at per osnt. annuity, or doubling Oh
the population once IN every twenty
five wears. That would be four-ffths OF
the whole, while England ITSELF would
have only 20, 100000 or a very insig--
nifcant part of the English-speaking
population of the warld. Another COM
putation, by continental writer, estl-
mates our population century hence
at 700, COO, 900, or zen times the number
that can reasonably be estimated for the
| British islands.
Whether the present RAE OF increase
IN this country CONTINUES during the
next century, or whether it falls from 8
to 2 per cent, CT even lower, there Is 30
question that here is thu great seat OK
