WELL-BAKED BREAD.
Loaves That Have Been for Seventeen
Centuries In an Oven.

In the exhumation of Pompeh one
house was discovered which was evil

volcanic storm buried it. Painters,
decorators and cleaners were masters
of the situation. The household gods
were all in disorder, and the family u
not out Of town, must have been under
going that condition of misery which
spring cleanings and other like in-
flictions surely entail Painters pots
and brushes and workmen's tools were
scattered all over the house. Tell-tale
spots of whitewash starred the wall
and floor. Such domestic implements
as pots and kettles had been bundled
up in a corner all by themselves, and
the cook was non est.
Dinner, however, had not been for
gotten. A solitary pot stood simmer
ing, if it ever did simmer, on the
stove There was a bronze dish in
waiting before the oven, and on the
dish a sucking pig, all ready TO be
baked, but the oven was already en-
gagged with its full complement OF
bread So the pig had to wait, and II
never entered the oven, and the loaves
were never taken out till after the
lapse of LOO years. They had been
baking since August "a, A. d. ~.
There were thenty-one of them-rather
crusty, Of course, and rather dark

IL WAS NAPOLEON.
His Wonderfully Intelligent Dog Recov-
cred Tie Loot Coins.

cred the Lost Coins.
It was dark, and down a retired
street in Paris man rode alone on
horseback Suddenly the horse stopped
as if frightened. Then a man rose
from the pavement in the middle Of
the street and jumped TO one side with
a cry. The rider was angry and ex-
claimed: Are you drunk man, that
you lie about in the middle Of a dark
street to get yourself run over?n
"You might better lend poor fellow
hand than scold in that way, " ex-
claimed the other. II had 500 francs
in gold in this bag, carrying it to pay
a bill for my master, and the bag has
/ broken and it is all lost over the street.
II you have some matches they will do
me more good than your. curses.
"It's no easy task to find lost money
on a night like this" said the rider
dismounting. Il have no matches,
but perhaps l can help you. Have
yon any of the pieces left?"
"Only one " replied the unfortunate
fellow with a sob.
Give it to me, said the other.
The poor man hesisatad, but the
stranger repeated the words in tone
of authority and the last coin was
handed to him.
The stranger whistled and a great
Spanish mastif stood beside him. He
held the coin TO the dogs nose, and
leaning to the rough pavement said:
Find them
The dog shifted the gold piece and
began the search.
One, two, three he began bringing
in the coins and dropping them into
his masters hand, while the poor SER
want stood by in silent wonder
Thirteen times he returned with a
20-franc piece. Then, after long
search, he came back empty with a
grunt that seemed TO say: There are
no mOre.n
1--WE are yet lacking one piece" said
the stranger. care you sure there
were Just 200 francs?"
Sure as sure can be, sir" the SER
want replied.
"Then look in the bag again. There
must be one left there"
The man looked, and sure enough
found the last gold piece still there.
"Oh, sir!" he exclaimed, as the
stranger sprang into his saddle, "you
are my deliyerer, Tell me your lano,
that my master may know who las
done him such a service"
II have done nothing" said the
stranger. Tell your master that tho
one who helped you was a very good
and intelligent dog by the name OF
Joie."
1t was some years afterward, when
France had seen troubled times, and
the royal family was no more, that tho
master was telling the incident to q
party OF friends, one OF whom had been
employed in the palace
''Joie Joiel" he exclaimed There
never was but one dog of that name
and there never was a more remarkable
and faithful dog than he. He always

How knights Are Made.

The ceremony of comforting the or
der of knighthood at the hands of tho
queen is not imposing. 1t is not in
fact, a public ceremonial and only those
are permitted to witness it who, by
their official connection with the
queens household, may attend her.
The loyal subject upon whom such dis
tinguished honor may be conferred may
not even invite his 'best man" nor the
members of his personal circle Of rels-
tives or friends to be present.
Arrayed in whatever uniform he may
be entitled to wear or whatever dress
court etiquette and the time Of day
make proper If he is civilian, tho
subject presents himself before his
sovereign and kneels at her royal feet,
Seated on the throne chair the queen
lays the shining blade of a sword across
the shoulder of the exalted beneficiary,
and says, using the title which she Is
about to give, ''arise, Sir So-and-so. ="
Plain Mr.. Cheltenham Brown is thus
by a single stroke Of her majesty's
sword transformed into Sir Knight, and
he is permitted, perchance, to kiss his
sovereign's finger tips in grateful ac-
acknowledgement Of the distinguished
honor. In other cases than this Of o
plain knjghthood and when the tito
carries with it a decoration, the gra-
cious queen. with her own royal hands,
pins the giittoring and much coveted
bauble upon the coat Of her elevated
subject. This is all tie ceremony con-
nected with the conierng Of knight
hood. but it is a real deal to the TO-
cipiclt.

Terrible Results Of the Recent EARTHQUAKE
In Japan.
LONDON, Oct. 81. -Dispatches re.
ceived here from Hiogo, japan, says
that the terrible earthquake which oc-
Cured in that country Wednesday last
destroyed the towns of Nagoya, Gifu
and Osaki. All the public buildings and
most of the smaller structures in these
places were thrown down. A fire
which started among the wrecked
buildings in Nagoya completed the
work of destruction in the most
crowded quarter of the place. 1t is
estimated that the total number of per-
cons who lost their lives by the disaster
exceeds 5000. Many vessels are
reported to have been wrecked in
the vicinity of Hiogo, and during the
seismic disturbances the waters of tho
lakes in the surrounding country were
violently agitated. A few portions of
Niphon islands escaped the earth a uake.
and Kobe suffered comparatively little
damage The number of Europeans
who lost their lives by the terrible vi.
bration is small. The various wagon
roads are blockaded by the immense
heaps of debris, traffic on the different
railroads is suspended, and all the tele.
graph lines are entirely FRUSTRATED,

cation with the devastated places. In
consequence, full details of the awful
