How to Keen Rread Fresh.

In Swiss and German farmhouses,
where the baking takes place once a
fortnight. or certainly at fairly long in
tervals, such Il thing as unpleasantly
stale bread is almost unknown. 1t is
put away in a peculiar manner, which
tends to preserve its freshness. Sprinkle
flour freely into an. empty -four sack
and into this pack to loaves, being
careful to have the top crustS of two
loaves touching. Where they have to
lie bottom to bottom sprinkle -four be.
tween them. Tie up the sack and hang
it up in an airy place, not against a
wall. but so that it can swing. The
day before the loaf IS wanted take it
out, brush OFF the Hour and stand it in
the cellar over night. In this way
bread remains edible for three or -four
weeks

/ Democratic Victory Is Like Old Dukr
DOdgo's Faro Game.
THE trouble is that the way tho par
[ tvs been run for the past three year,
there's no encouragement for demo-
Gratis to win. The history of the party
since 1892 makes me think of old Duke
DOdge's faro game.
old Duke Dodge was fairly sudden
MAN; kept pretty well up with the pro
eessions He turned faro bank, or what
ever was the handiest way at the timG
to make a living, so 1t wasn't manual
labor. One day met old Duke at Rock
Island as was coming back from Iowa
--1iOt any money, SOM said Duke.
He always called me son.
About one hundred and fifty dol
lars replied.
Lend 1t to me and I'll open game
for 'em here said Duke. This towu
IS sucker in the lump, and it's crazy
to play faro bank
so old Duke made up a roll of threa
hundred dollars He had cards and
deadlock. and easily improvised lay
out. and was ready for action. For
chips he went over 20 dry goods store
and bought box of these wooden but
ton molds that they made Overcoat but
tons with.
Then old Duke Dodge turned loose,
the natives came drumming, and the
way they set in against the game re-
minded me of lot of turkeys around
peck of corn.
The bank won from the jump, and
Duke was chuckling. AS nearly as you
could guess the game was four hundred
dollars ahead at the end of an hour.
IAN at once Duke noticed an awful
thing He called my attention TO it.
This was the horrible phenomenon:
While the bank had won every big bet
for Duke was a mighty careful dealer
and two-thirds of the others, and
while he had. as he found by counting
up, full twice as many button mOlds as
Duke ever did buy to begin with, there
were still over five hundred dollars
worth of button molds in the hands OF
the Rock Island pOpulace, clamOrins;
| for action. 1t was worse than a mira.

And Duke had to make 'em good
had to cash every button mold of EN-.

he was bankrupt when he got through

Those thieves had simply gone owes
/ to the same store Duke did, and bought
/ out the balance of the stock of button
molds, and stood EN- in against the
game. They even tried to play stacL
! of pants buttons on the ace open; one
man did it, but Duke saw it In time
/ and barred pants buttons
IF I'd gone on and won anOthe-
hour, SON, said Duke 20 me as We
walked down to the railroad track after
the game, I'D owed two thousand dol
lars. It's fortunate my luck wasnt
any better
And, just as | say. the democratic

followed since, remind me great dea.

WHERE WOMAN RULES.
The Home should BE the Center from
Which All Things Esdiate.


The mission OF woman is 70 make the
whole world homelike. While man
commands the existing age, it is woman
who commands the future. and there is,
therefore, nothing more vital than that
our homes should become centers of
art and beauty. fit to cradle the coming
age. The first definite relationship Of
humankind was mother and child. The
primitive human mother followed the
example of the animal mother in try
ing To preserve the life of her offspring.
Her duties were ever at home, looking
after the children aud the comfort of
the family.
But in the course of evolution the
home has come to mean much more
than a mere place of shelter. If we
read evolution backward we see how
the inventions which have been made
for the needs of woman, in her capacity
as mother of the race, are being used
to administer to the comforts of man
kind at large. That housekeeping,
under present conditions, is largely
considered burden, is due to the mis-
conception existing as to the needs of
the household. It is popular fallacy
that any woman, simply because she IS
a woman, Is instinCtivelY qualified to
look after the hone. do the cooking
and sewing, care for her baby and
meet her husband with Il smile. This
is mistake only too common. and one
which many learn when too late. The
husband Turns the KEY in the door of
his workshop when his days work IS
done: not - the wife. Her labor and
watchfulns-Ss are CONSTANT besides. she,
too. often. takes upon herself manifold
duties chat slyould be shared by other
members, of tbc family. Every men,
Der of the home bears an important and
essential relation 70 the whole, and
none NAV shirk duty without en-
dangcring- the household harmony.
Sons no less than daughters, should be
brought into close relationship with
the practical duties and responsibilities

The League of Marbach, in 1876,
was one of those alliances SO common
in medieval Europe. 1t was a combi'
nation of Baden, Wurtemberg and
seventeen cities against Suabia and
league. In 14O4 France and Poland
joined the Wurtemberg league and the
combinations continued, with varying
fortunes and vicissitudes, until 1899,
when Wurtemberg went over to the
Suabian league and the partnership
was dissolved.

ENGLISH WOMEN AT FOOT BALL
Their Play snid to Have Been Marked
by Neither Grace Nor skill.
From the London World.

From the London World.
Seldom has the new woman" shown
herself so supremely absurd as on last
Saturday afternoon, when a couple of
feminine teams played a foot ball match
in the grounds of the Crouch End Club.
Only one player wore skirts, Mrs. Graham,
who made a capital goal defender for the
Red or North team. All the rest were in
Turkish trousers and loose jerseys, with
their back hair stuffed into caps not I'M
like those which some years ago used to
be worn by brewers draymen In the
North team the jerseys were red and in
the South blue, and though the blending
of the colors was not unpicturesuue when
the teams were mixed, 1t would be an
excess OF gallantTy to say that the cos
tune was graceful So ludicrous was it
that when the teams trotted on the field
the assembled thousands burst out into a
roar Of laughter
Nor did the subsequent play in any way
diminish the mirth of the onlookers. A
few OF the ladies were of an anplitude
of figure that made their gambols over
and around the bail rather ele2hantine
than elegant Their running too had n
languorous ease which one does not look
for on a foot ball field, and as for their
kicks-well, they kicked the ball in much
the same way as kitten will push a
reel of cotton. Unlike the kitten. however
they did not dash after the hall to give
it another impetus, but for the most mari
strolled gently toward it. Now and again
there was some smart bits of play-par-

of the players was spasmodic. They
speedily became tagged. and with their

From the Chicago Record.
In these DAYS when the public seems in
danger of going Trilby mad, and the ideal
woman is b,g-footed, big-eyed and big
boned, it's a good idea to refresh our minds
on the subject of the little women. It's
just as well not to forget that most of
the women who have helped to make his
tory. either by their wit or beauty, or
both, have belonged to the diminutive va
rlety Of their sex.
There was Cleopatra. If she couldn't
have given Trilby clubs and spades and
beaten her at her own game who could?
And Cleopatra, mind you, stood less than
five feet in the highest-heeled sandals. If
you don't believe it all you have to do is to
run over TO London, where you'll find her
mummy carefully preserved, and it's only
ffty-four inches long. It's the little
women who twist big men around their
little fingers. Shakespeare knew that, and
no doubt the Queen of Italy is quite right
when she says Mrs. Macbeth was a lit
tie, dark, shrewish woman.
You remember where Shakespeare
makes Gleopatras first anxiety about
Octavia's hight. "Bringe me word how
tall she is" she says. rs she tail as me?'
And again, exultingly, dull of tongue and
dwarish. What majesty is in her gait?"
No doubt 1t was this majesty in her
gait" which made Cleopatra the regal
commanding parsonage she could be wheA
occasion demanded.
If woman knows how to dress and
carry herself she may add inches to her
appearance. Before Queen Victoria be
came rheumatic and a trifie square as
to figure, she impressed every one who
saw her with such a sense of majesty
and statelness that it was very difficult
to believe that she lacked two inches of
being five feet tall The erectness with
which she carried her body-spine
straight as an arrow, shoulders we'll
back, head well poised-together with the
sweeping robes of state, all combined to
transform the royal midget into an i'm
posing, commanding woman. In her
younger days Queen Victoria was very
sensitive about her weight, or rather lack
of il.

little Maria Edgeworth, from whom Wal
