Big Loaves OF Bread.

The largest loavcs of bread baked In
the world are those of France and Italy.
The pipe" bread Of Italy is baked In
loaves two and three feet long, while
In France the loaves are made In the
shape Of very long rolls four or five
feet in length, and In many cases even
six feet. The bread of Paris is distrib-
uted almost exclusively by women, who
60 to the various bake houses at $50
a. m and spend about an hour polishing
up the lOaves.
After the loaves are thoroughly
cleansed of dust and grit the dread
porter" proceeds on the round Of her
customers. Those who live In apart
ments or fats find their loaves leaning
against the door. Restaurateurs, and
those having street entrances to their
premises, find their supply Of the staff
Of life propped up against the front
door. The wages earned by these bread
carriers vary from couple Of shillings
to half a crown day, and their days
work is completed by 10 o'clock In the
morning. Dispatch.

Courageous

Lord Thurlow had one Of the bad
habits Of his time. He swore terribly.
One day he was accosted by q young
clergyman, on the sands ut Scarbor-
ough, who, without any special intro
duction, and with but brief preface,
asked him for the vacant living of Spax-
ton, which was in Lord Thuriow's
gift.
'Go about your business" said his
lordship, with the accompaniment of
several large oaths.
ABut I won't go about my business,
replied the intrepid divine, "and what's
more, It becomes my duty, as a clergy
man, to reprove you for swearing" oc
''Oh, indeed!' exclaimed Lord Thur
low, knitting his heavy eyebrows, "and
you reprove me, do you? Hang 1t!
see you are a good fellow! You shall
have the living"

Milton and the Duke OF York.

The Duke of York, afterwards James
H., once visited Milton. They talked
together for some time, and In the
course of their conversation the Duke
asked Milton whether he did not think
the loss Of his sight was a judgment
upon him for what he had written
against Charles l., the Dukes father.
Millions reply was to this effect:
"Jf your Highness thinks that the
calamities which befall us here are in
dicationso ofisthe wrath of heaven, In
what manner are we to account for the
fate of the late king himself? The dis
pleasure Of heaven must, upon this sup
position, have been much greater
against him than against me, for have
only lost my eyes, but he lost his head"

Was He an Impostor2

A Hindoo goldsmith, says an English
journal, disappeared some years ago,
and was mourned by his friends as
dead. The other day, however, a ne
phew Of the missing man met an indi-
vidual whom he at once recognized as
his uncle. He hailed him with joy and
carried him off to his aunt. The latter
Immediately greeted the newcomer as
her husband, and was soon joined by
her mother-in-law, who saw in him her
long-lost son. The fatted calf was (fig-
uratively) killed, the oldest cask was
opened, the largest lamp was lighted,
and the rejoicing went on until-until
the eldest son of the family turned UP,
and denounced his nephew's find" as
an impostor, who was not his brother
at all; and it turned out that he was
right, too, though his mother and his
sister-.n-law are OF the same opinion
still, and refuse to be convinced.

From these dens where typhus, mea-
sles, smallpox, scarlet fever and diph-
iberia are found, bundles Of clothing go
out every day, scattering infectious
germs. Statistics show that one-seventh
Of all the deaths in the United States
is due to consumption, and in no place
Is consumption so rife as in the sweat
ing dens In New York. The germs Of
this dreadful disease and also Of other
diseases are thus scattered broadcast
over the land, more than three-fourths
of the clothing made in the metropolis
being shipped to other States. The
sweating system, therefore, as carried
on In New York Is one that Congress
should deal with. The national health
should not be endangered by mon
strous survival of European industrial
methods.

MIST Garry In His Head.
At the season Of the year when the
river excursion business is at it's height
and hundreds Of boats are carrying
thousands of people to and flo along the
entire length Of the Ohio river from
Pittsburg to Cairo many persons who
ordinarily never give the subject a
thought are impressed with the wonder
full way in which navigation on our
beautiful stream is carried on. The first
thing noticed generally is the accuracy
with which the pilot handles the boat,
avoiding the bars, which are nea the
surface Of the water in the summer, 60
ing from one side Of the river to the
other, and finally, without a jar, land
ing them all safely at their destination.
When the excursion business is over,
on packets and .towboats, carrying hun
dreds Of tons of freight and thousands
of bushels Of coal on every trip with the
same accuracy with which they handled
the excursion steamers during the sum
mer.
A large number Of the pilots running
ont Of Cincinnati know the river from
here to New Orleans, others from here
to Memphis, and others still to points
up the river as far as Pittsburg. "Know
the river" This phrase means much.
For instance, q man running from here
to New Orleans must be able to take
charge Of the wheel Of his boat at any
hour Of the day or night at any point on
the river and on any stage Of water.
He must be able to tell at q glance ex-
actly where the boat is at any point on
this long stretch of 1913 miles. He
must know every bend and chute, and
by day the different points by which to
steer, such as houses, barns, trees, fences
and even h~aystacks; by night every
light placed by the government in con-
spicuous places as we'll as the hills and
their shape. He must know exactly how
long to hold the boat to one light or OBJ
ject before changing to another. Which
the Mississippi river is reached, anew
feature presents itself in the shape Of
the constantly changing channel. To
work here requires more skill and great
er Judgment probably than all the rest
Of the difficulties combined. Going
down o boat may 90 on n side Of the
river. Coming back it doesn't go with
in two miles Of that place. When these
things are appreciated-and they are
only a few Of the things a pilot must
know-then it is that the pilot gets
credit for what he does. Cincinnati
