BREAD in ENGLAND.

Laws That Governed the sale of 1t
Century Ago-The Poor Consumer.
The bread specter now makes its
appearance. The quartern loaf is
one shilling three pence. The house of
commons reports. 1t is still fond of
reporting. 1t suggests that bakers
should be compelled 10 sell stale
bread instead Of new, 20 check the
consumption. II is fact proved by
the clearest evidence. that one-half
of the bread in London is consumed
the day in whichs il is baked. This
sounds very dreadful, even toward
the close of the century. The sug-
gested prohibition became law, the
fine for each offense being to, says
the Saturday Review.
Both houses Of parliament pledged
themselves and their families not to
consume more than one quartern loaf
per head per week during the scarcity

order OF assize which raises the price

that pigs and poultry had the first
charge on this material Grains
were suggested for pigs and potatoes

The complaint arose that potatoes
were not sufficiently cultivated; but
no bill was brought in TO make com
pulsory potato farming the first duty
OF all good citizens. This showed
great restraint on the part OF the
legislature Rice or potatoes were
recommended TO he mixed with wheat

The English sparrow has two mis-
sions, IL fact as far as heard from. One
is 70 eat up the beetle pests that are
destroying by wholesale the splendid
pine. spruce and hemloek forests in the
Allegheny mountains, particularly in
West Virginia and Maryland. 1t is said
that they have already saved many
thousand dollars worth of pine timber.
IT'S we'll We can spare a million
English sparrows for the pine forest
region. Let them be boxed and sent
10 the Alleghanies atonce TO begin war
on the pine beetle. People in other
parts Of the country are so generous
that they would not think of charging
anything for their sparrows. but would
let the pine forest inha bitants have
them as gift and welcome. Then
there is the other mission Of the
wretceG little, dirty-coated bird. 1t is
TO be broiled and eaten on toast. A
government orn:thologist reported
some time since that the English spar
row was really very palatable. The
flesh is especially tender and appetiz-
ing in the fall, after the creature has
gorged itself on the farmers grain
crop.

minutes before II the monks tperes,

cells, each carrying little lantern.
Not one OF them uttered word for
some time. Then one of them made
slight noise as though with his
knnckles on desk, and the Latin
chant Of about four notes began and
continued with slight interruptions
for an hour and threc-quarters Then
each relighted his little lantern, put
out the light held in little reflector

before him) and as silently as they
came they went of TO their cells.
There are forty peres or pretres
there, and forty-fonr freres. The
peres are the more advanced, live in
their cells from weeks end to week 5
end except for their church service
at midnight and one meal together
on Sundays and church holidays.
These peres never speak to each
other nor to anyone whatever except
when out on a promenade, which
they take once a week. The freres
do the business Of the convent, and
are less restricted, though they never
