Much might be said of the japanese tea
houses which look like mere booths, and
yet are so deliberately ornamented with

making them; of the Shoe and Leather

timber at the south end of the island, or

rious corners and are the more charming,
because one comes on them unexpectedly.
In the extreme south end of the park are
several very interesting things which are
not seen by more than one visitor in fifty.

The Illinois building mad from the start
attracted more visitors than any other
state building because it is really one of
the main structures of the fair, with Cali
fornia's building second; but since her
great display on the 9th, California has
been the chief attraction. The building is
not easily described. The central plan is
that of regular old mission of adobes,
but to relieve the sombreness of such a
structure Moorish features have been
added and q low central dome with roof
garden and outer platform for restaurant
purposes. The whole affair is said by ex-
perts to violate all the rules of architecture
which can be violated in one building, and
yet the general effect is pleasing. 1t

The Badger States Recora

New York's day at the Worlds fair was
big one but Wisconsin's day was bigger.
There were no speeches, but the paid at
tendance exceeded that on New York Day
by more than 1900. The figures for the
two state days were: New York, 16O, 1928;
Wisconsin, 172,765. Considering the dis
lance the people of the Empire state had
to travel, the record they made was excel
lent, but it must be remembered also that
they had the advantage of Labor Day.
Wisconsin was doubtless assisted by the
New Workers who stayed over and by the
Pennsylvanians who came in advance of
their particular day.

Henry George started it, of course. In

took the stand and maintained the right
and the duty of our government to pre-
vent all further immigration of the Mon

thing either. Men of undoubted piety and

So many things happened on California's
Day that some of the best were but indif-
ferently reported. That 9th of September,
$780, was indeed memorable day in the
annals of these United States, for on that
day President Fillmore set his autograph
to the many acts which terminated the
longest and stormiest session of congress
ever held before the war era. BY that
series of acts the status of all the region
acquired from Mexico was fixed, the terri
tories were organized on a uniform plan
which has continued ever since, and "the
slavery controversy was put to Sleep for
ever"-so they saidl The next year, how
ever, Harriet Beecher Stowe walked it up.
BY one act California, without the slow
process of territorial childhood, sprang
at once into statehood, like Minerva fully
endowed and armor-clad from the brain of
Jupiter. And of the territories then created
New Mexico and Utah alone remain,
though deprived of half their original
areas.
Well, there was so much history to COM

Cleyeland's Cousin.

Ben Folsom, United States consul at
Sheffield, Eng, and a cousin to the
wife of President Cleveland, made a
remarkable speech on the Fourth OF
July. at luncheon which he gave to
the Master Cutters, in that English
CITY. He assured his hearers, the man
ufacturers of cutlery, that the highest
barrier" between them and the trade
of the United States had been passed,
and that a free trade era is to be inaug-
urated in the United States. He also
declared that the democratic party in
the United States is 1.-The party Of free
trade" 1t is noticeable that Cousin
Ben's radical utterances were punctu-
ated by British applause. He assured
his hearers, also, that the financial
question is merely preliminary, y
that it will speedily be done with, and
the breaking down of the protection
tariff be the real work of the Cleveland
administration. 1t is to be presumed

SOME SANITARY ASPECTS OF
BREAD MAKING.
BY CYRUS EDISON. NJ. d.,

Health Commissioner, New York City.
It is necessary, if one would under
stand the sanitary aspects of bread
making, to fully comprehend the pres
ent theory held by scientists of germs
and the part played by them in disease.
The theory of disease germs is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
of those germs by medical men, q
knowledge which is the result of in
Vulnerable experiments. Being this,
the old term of a theory" has become
misnomer. A germ of disease is a
plant, so small that j do not know
how to express intelligibly to the gem
eral reader its lack of size. When this
germ is introduced into the blood
or tissues of the body, its &C
ton appears to be analogous to that
which takes place when yeast is added
to dough. 1t attacks certain elements
of the blood or tissues, and destroys
them. at the same time producing new
substances.
But the germs of the greater part OF
the germ diseases, that is, of the infec-
tious and contagious diseases, will de-
velop or increase in number without
being in the body of human being,
provided always you give them the
proper conditions. These conditions
are to be found in dough which is be-
ing raised with yeast. They are
warmth, moisture and the organic
matter of the flour on which the germs,
after certain changes, feed.
1t is necessary to remember at this
point that yeast is germ growth, and

Grasshoppers Strike Their Wings.
Everybody is familiar with the music

lag s=eh OF which it may gather the
dirt containing the germs from the
bakers hands. As no bread save that
raised with yeast, goes through this
long process of raising and kneading
so no bread save that raised with yeast
has so good chance of gathering
germs.
What is meant by raising" bread is
worth a few words. The introduction
of the yeast into the moist dough and
the addition of heat when the pan is
placed near the fire produces an eDor-
nous growth of the yeast fungi-the
Yeast germ" in other words. These
fungi effect destructive fermentation
of a portion of the starchy matter of
the fiour-one of the most valuab
nutrient elements in the flour. The
fermentation produces carbonic acid
gas, and this, having its origin in
every little particle of the starch
which is itself everywhere in the -four.
pushes aside the particles of the dough
to give itself room. This is what is
called raising the bread.
1t needs but a glance to see that it
is. in its effects on the dough, purely
mechanical. The dough, which was
| before a close-grained mass, is now
| full of little holes, and when cooked in
this condition is whst we ordinarily
call light. This porous quality of
bread enables the stomach to rapidly
and easily digest it, for the gastric
juices quickly soak into and attack it
from all sides. The fermentation of
the dough, however. uses up portion
of the nutrient elements of the loaf.
If it be possible. therefore, to produce
a light porous loaf without this de-
struction and without the "kneading'
