A city broker whose home is in New

let him know by telegram something

appeared. and the broker began to be
mystited. not to say provoked, at the
unaccountable negligence of his faith

mile from his home, and there was
nothing TO be done but 10 wait for the
messenger, who didn't come.
Next morning the unhappy subur-
banite stopped on his way TO the sta
ton to make inquiries at the telegraph
office for his missing telegram. The
operator was an old town gossip with
an interest in everybody's affairs. and
he greeted his visitor In neighborly

The thing 70 do with healthy bah,
Is to have II clean twice day--when
1t goes to bed at night and when 1t

day. The healthiest babies In the
world get dressed In the morning for
all day. Just as soon as the child
begins to kick and wants to get AT its
feet It ought TO be put In short clothes

ELECTRICITY LAWYERS.
Whose Speciality Has Arisen with the
Development Of Electricity.

Development OF Electricity.
There has long been a marked ten
dency among lawyers to abandon ii. >
wide field of general practice and take
up with 'specialities," some dcvotlng
themselves TO mercantile. others to
accident, to corporation, to Insurance
and to criminal cases.
Within a comparatively short time
there has sprung up in New York. If
the term sprung up" can be used in
reference to anything connected with
the red tape Of the law, class OF
practitioners known as electricity
lawyers" These are either young
men who, coming to the bar, find the
field OF professional employment
crowded, or men OF middle age, who,
retained In cases wherein electricity
figures, have become experts on sim
liar questions.
The field is comparatively now ono
and there are few precedents TO guide
the lawyer. Electricity Is. indeed. a
practically new branch of law busi-
ness, and. as the matters In dispute
are generally important, this branch
of legal practice is quite lucrative. At
the beginning of the present year. II Is
computed, that no less than 81 900, ,OOO.-
GEO was invested In the electrical in
dustry of the United States.
This was divided as follows. Elec-
trical light and power companies,

OLD TIME BAKERS.
aoV They Were Punished For Dod Bread
and Food Adulteration.

aov They Were Punished For Dad Bread
and Food Aduiter.tion.
The adulteration of food has al
ways been punished severely, prob
ably more severely than any other
form of cheating, and the watchful
eye of the law has been directed more
toward the baker than to his fellow
tradesmen. At all times and in all
countries the slightest delinquency
ON the part of the man who makes
our daily bread has been visited with
exemplary punishment. During the
middle ages scarcely any spectacle
was so pleasing to the people OF cen
trail Europe as that of the public pun
ishment of the cheating baker. The
penalties inflicted ON swinHing bak-
ers included contiscation " proper
ty, deprivation of civil and other
rights. banishment from the town
for certain periods, bodily punish
ment, the pillory and the ''gibbet.
If baker was found guilty of an
offense against the law. he was ar,
rested and kept in safe custody till
the gibbet was ready for him. 1t
was erected as nearly as possible in
the middle of the town, the beam
projecting over a stagnant pool. AT
the end of the beam was pulley,
over which ran a rope fastened TO 8
basket large enough to hold man.
The baker was forced into the bas
ket. which was drawn UP to the
beam. There ne hung over the mud.
dy pool, the butt of the jeers and
missiles of jubildit crowd. The
only way to escape was - Jump INTO
the dirty water and run through the
crowd to his home. and if he did not
take the jump willingly lie was some
times helped out of the basket BY
means of a pole.
In some GOWNS a large cage was
used instead of basket, and instead
of taking a jump the culprit was
lowered into the filthy pool and
drawn up again several times until
the town authorities thought he had
had enough. In some parts of Turkey
it was until recently the rule to pun,

ss.se queer Facts Concerning the Diet u
Various Civilised Countries.
Reports recently received from sew
eral American consuls give some in
teresting data in regard to the bread
consumers of the world. They show
that while a Portuguese worries
through year with an average
bread supply of 176 pounds
half pound day-a Spaniard, just
across the border, requires Alb pounds
per annum, and Spain cannot be re-
garded as a wheat growing country,
either.
In Hungary, where waving fields
growing season, 361 pounds year on
sn average supply native, while an
Austrian who also raises more or
less wheat, gets along with 1s7 pounds
q year Only 143 pounds of -four are
required by German in year, 165
pounds by a Dane, while the Rus
slams, the greatest wheatgrowers in
Europe, eat but 80 pounds per an
mum per capita. A native of Bel
gium consumes 37S pounds and of
America So pounds while the Swift
zer eats As pounds per annum, an
Italian 80, Dutcl man 2s3, an Eng
lishman 352 pound.
The greatest tour eater in the
WUrld is the Fr nchman. He con
sumes nearly / punds a day, or 705
pounds in a year. This enormous
quantity consumed by Frenchman,
when compare with the Sc pounds
per annum which Scandinavian re-
Quires, revives the old theory that
climatic influences have more to do
with the demands of nature than
education. In the extreme northern
climates, where cold is severe, -four
does not seem to be the favorite
article of food. There is not so much
combustion in it as in oils and
animal food. The Laplander, who
eats no -four at all, is sometimes
known to consume pounds of whale
or seal blubber at one meal. A Rus
sian, who only eats 80 pounds in a
year of the -four he raises. is popu.
