Simple Directoire Gowns.

All the simple forms of the Direc-
toire costume are furnished with plain
sleeves, but there are fanciful combi-
nations TO which full ones may be ap-
piled. The following may be made of
faille and camel's hair in two shades
of fawn color. The sleeves are set
very high on the shoulder and laid in
fine tucks to the elbow, falling from
thence to the wrist, where they are
closely gathered into a cuff covered
with bronze silk galloon interviewer
with silver. The lighter shade Of
fawn is chosen for the sleeves and for
the plated guimpe mounted on a
round collar of the GALLON, the upper
part of which alone is visible, the
bodice of the darker fawn material be-
ing cut open in a deep point over the
chest. On the left side the bodice is
bordered with galloon sewn fat upon
it. On the right side is wide lapel,
also edged, with the garniture con-
tinued down to the waist and around
it like girdie. More GALLON is sewn
round the basque. which slanting
apart in front, shows a slightly draped
and shirring tablier of the lighter
fawn silk between.-N Y. Post.

A MILLION YEARS.
Two Ways OF Forming an Idea of Such q
Vast Period Of Time.

Two Ways OF Forming an Idea of Such .
Vast Period Of Time.
Astronomers and biologists habitu-
ally deal in large numbers. 1t is ut
terly impossible to conceive of bill
lion miles, and even the familiar illus
tration of railroad train going so
many miles an hour for so many years
conveys very vague idea.
1t is equally difficult to form an
idea of the vast periods OF time with
which biologists deal. What idea can
man, who is limited to a hundred
years. form of a million years?
Prof. Croll tells us how a striking i'm
preston of such a lapse of time may
be partially conveyed to the mind:
Stretch piece of paper eighty
three feet four inches long around the
walls of a room somewhat over twenty
feet square, recall the events of life to
give some conception OF hundred
years, and then consider that mark
one-tenth of an inch broad at one end
of the paper represents the century,
while the whole strip gives place for
only a million years"
This illustration is worth trying.
An even more striking illustration
may be seen in the works of nature
Gould we stand upon the edge OF a
gorge mile and a half in depth. that
had been cut out of the solid rock by
a tiny stream scarcely visible at the
bottom of this terrible abyss, and were
we informed that this little streamlet
was able to wear of annually only
one-tenth of an inch from it's rocky,
bed, what would our conception be Of
the prodigious length of time that this
stream must have taken to excavate
the gorge? We should certainly feel
startled on finding that the stream
had performed this enormous amount
of work in something less than mil
lion of years.-GOlden Days.

BREAD MATERIALS.
Turnips, Potatoes. Hay and Rice Good Sub
stftutes for WheAt.


stitutes for WheSt.
There was dearth Of wheat In En-
gland in 1929, 1880 and 1898. and In
those years bread was made of turnips.
They were boiled until they were soft
enough to mash, when the greater
part of the water was pressed out OF
them. An equal weight Of wheat meal
was then mixed with the pulp and the
dough was made in the usual manner
with Yeast. The dough rose well in
the trough and after being kneaded
was formed into loaves and put in the
oven. Bread prepared in this man
ner has peculiar sweetish taste which
is said to be not disagreeable; 1t Is as
light and white as wheaton bread. and
should be kept about twelve hours be-
fore being cut, when the smell and
taste of the turnip will scarcely be per-
ceptible.
Potato bread is another kind, and
there are several processes of making
it. The simplest is to choose the large.
mealy sort, boil them as for eating.
then peel and mash them very fine,
without adding water. Two parts Of
wheat -four are added TO one of pota-
toes, and a little more yeast than
usual. The whole mass is kneaded
into dough and allowed to stand q
proper time to rise and ferment before
it is put into the oven. Bread so
prepared is said to be good and
wholesome Erasmus Darwin advised
the grating of raw potatoes into cold
water, where the starch would sub
side The starch from eight pounds
of potatoes. mixed with eight pounds
of boiled potatoes, he asserted, would
make as good bread as the best wheat
en- -four.
DIR. Darwin even went so far as to
say that hay that has been kept in
stacks so as to undergo the saccharine
process, may be so managed by grind
ing and fermentation with yeast, like
bread, as to serve the part for the sus-
tenance of mankind in times of scar
city.
To make rice bread, boil three parts
of wheat -four and one part of rice.
separately. Boil the rice well, squeeze
out the water and mix the mass with
the wheat. The process is then the
same as for common wheat bread. A
pound and a half of flour mixed with
half a pound OF rice will produce a
loaf weighing from three pounds to
three pounds two ounces, which is a
greater gain than is got from wheat
-four alone Rice has also been tried
in the same proportion with barley,
and this makes a good bread for labor
ing people. Bread may also be made
from buckwheat and the seeds and
roots of several scores of plants

LOCAL NEWS.

We hear much said about the cheap
and tritiing character of local items
Some of them are cheap, too cheap to
be of general interest, and yet no items
are published that do not have an inter-
est for some one. If local papers are
poor, there are none so poor that they
are not better than the communities
that sustain them. If inconsequential
matters receive undue attention it is be-
cause but little of consequence trans
pires in those communities of which the
papers are organs. People are eager
for news. They take newspapers to
obtain a knowledge of facts. Much of
this feeling grows out of curiosity, but
whatever its nature people take papers
to obtain the news and if they do not
get what they pay for they complain.
The chief function of local papers is to
record local events, and these events
have a greater interest for the people
among whom they happen than events
at distance even though of, far less
in themselves. Has local

that it has. In these days there is not

In the reports of school superintend-

state there is much complaint Of lack

come to that pass that if teachers at
tempt to enforce strict discipline in their
schools there will be neighborhood
row started. If they do not attempt to
enforce discipline the chances are, that
where there are viciously disposed boys
half the efficiency of the school will be
destroyed. 1t would be good plan
to have a law enforcing the duties of

Two OF three Vermonters, prominent
in the affairs of other states, have died
recently. Dexter Ray Jerauld of the
Cataract House at Niagara Falls was
one of these. He was native of Ben
nington, where he was born in 1911.
He had obtained worldwide fame as
a hotel man. Another was Rev. G..
ii. atkinson, ID. d., a native of New
bury in this county, who recently died
in Portland, Oregon, at the age of a
bout 20 years. He went to the Pacific
Coast before the California gold dis
coveries, and was identified with Ore
gon almost from the beginning of its
history. We doubt whether any citi-
zen of the state was more closely inter-
ested in its welfare or did more for its
prosperity than Mr.. Atkinson. Thus
Vermonters write their names and i'm
press their personality in all parts of
