THE BREAD OF THE WORLD.
What This Important Food Is Made
OF In Different Countries.

of In Different Countries.
In England and America wheat
bread is within the reach of all, and
scarcely is thought given to the
fact that only small portion of the
earth's inhabitants enjoy it. It is
only during the last century that
wheat bread has come into common
use. A hundred years ago wealthy
families in England used only a peck
of wheat year and that at Christmas,
eating ost cakes during the remainder
OF the time.
The German "pumpernickep is a
rye bread with a curious, sour taste,
but after eating it awhile one acquires
quite a taste for it. 1t is less nutri-
tious than that of wheat. In the
poorer parts OF Sweden the people
bake their rye bread only twice year
and store it away, SO that eventually
it is as hard as bricks.
Farther north still barley and oats
become the chief bread corn. But in
the distinct north is where man is
put to thought to provide himself
with bread. In Lapland if a man
trusted to grain he would starve, so
the people exc out their scsnty store
OF oats with the inner bark OF the
pine, and after grinding this mixture
it is made into large fiat cakes, which,
after all are not half bad.
In dreary Kamchatka the pine or
birch bark by itself, we'll ground,
pounded and baked, constitutes the
whole OF the native bread food. Bread
and butter is represented by dough
of pine bark spread with seal fat. In
certain parts of Siberia the people not
only grind the pine bark, but cut of
the tender shoots, which procedure
must give the bread an unpleasantly
resinous flavor.
In Iceland the lichen is scraped of
the rock, made into bread puddings
and put into soup. In Russia and
China buckwheat is pressed into ser.
vice. 1t makes a palatable bread
though of dark violet tinge.
In Italy and Spain chestnuts are
cooked, ground into meal and used for
bread and soup thickening. Mile,
furnishes a white bread in Arabia
Egypt and India. This grain is cred
tied with being the very first used in
breadmaking.
Rice bread is still the staple food oil
the Chinese, Japanese and Indisns.
In the Indian archipelago the
starchy pith of the sago palm is made
into bread, and in parts of Africa the
natives use certain root for the same
purpose.

described than in the above extract.
From this matchless exposition of the
subjects it appears that the stability
and uniformity" of this relation-in
other words, of the currency-depend
not upon the character OF the material
of which money is made, but upon
the quantity of it in circulation, and
that stability Of the currency can only
be realized by adjusting its quantity
and keeping it adjusted to the wants
OF trade.
1t also shows that the practice OF
draining or reducing the circulation
of the financial system, for the alleged
purpose OF improving its quality, is
analogous to the old practice of blood.

system. In the light OF it We can un-
derstand how the expulsion of silver
from the money stock has had the ef-
feet for the last twenty years of sub
lecting to creeping paralysis the in
dustries OF gold standard countries
while those of silver-using countries,
by reason OF their exemption from
this malady, have, during the same
period, been unusually prosperous.
1t cannot escape the observation
that the progress of events since this
speech was delivered has "under the
operation OF the banking system and
that particular distribution of prop
erty existing in the shape of credit or
stocks, public and private" already
created moneyed interest" which
has developed a dangerously antag-
onistic relation between those who
hold or command the currency and
the rest of the community" The
executive branch OF the Government,
in defiance of the popular will, is in
creasing the public Indebtedness in
the form OF bonds, issued in the name
of the people, at q rate which re-
minds US OF the war period, for the
benefit of the former, whereby they
are rapidly absorbing the property of
the latter. HENRY G.. MILLER.

WHEREAS, The difference OF ex.
change between silver standard coun-
tries and gold standard countries is
equivalent to bounty equal to the
difference between the value of gold
and silver, in favor of the products Of
silver standard countries exported to
gold standard countries, and CORE
spending tariff against the products Of
gold standard countries exported to
silver using countries; and
WHEREAS. The cost of production
otherwise in the old world, and partic-
ularly in China and Japan, is far less
than the cost at which similar pro-
ducts can be produced or manufac-
tured in this country by American
labor without reducing our farmers,
miners, mechanics, manufacturers,
and other industrial workers to the
level of Chinese coolies;
Therefore, Be II Resolved, That over
and above all other questions of pol
icy, we are in favor OF restoring to the
people OF the United States the time
honored money of the constitution
gold and silver, not one but both-the
money Of Washington and Hamilton
and Jefferson and Monroe and Jack
son and Lincoln, to the end that the
American people may receive honest
pay for an honest product; the Amer
ican debtor pay his just obligations in
an honest standard and not in a stand
ard that is appreciated one hundred
per cent. above all the great staples OF
our country; and to the end further
that silver standard countries may be
deprived OF the unjust advantage they
now enjoy in the difference between
gold and silver-an advantage which
tariff legislation alone cannot over
come.
ave therefore confidently appeal to
the people Of the United States to
cave in abeyance for the moment all
other questions, however important,
anu even uIvuientons they may sp-
pear, to sunder if need be, all party
ties and affiliations, and unite in one
supreme effort to free themselves and
their children from the domination Of
the money power-a power more
destructive than any which has ever
been fastened upon the civilized men
of any race in any age. And upon
! the contamination OF our desires and
efforts we invoke the gracious favor of
Divine Providence"
The address was read by Senator
Jones, and never did he appear to bet
ter advantage. He seemed inspired
by the occasion, and the clear.cut,
epigramatic sentences fell from his
lips with splendid effect. Every
clause was applauded, and at the
close OF the reading the whole confer
ence rose is one man and cheered
with the widest enthusiasm.
Among other things he said: "You
will either be redeemed and disen-
thralled and the twentieth century
will either be opened with a wave oI
prosperity, or we will gradually &c
down to slavery. It is a question
whether the poorhouses shall be turned
into factories, or the factories shall be
turned into poorhouses."

VALUABLE COLOR TEST.
How the Course Of Water In German
Rivers Was Determined.

How the Course Of Water In German
Rivers Was Determined.
A color test OF large scale occurred
recently near Geseke, Germany. The
Nolmede, the Waid and the Heder are
three brooks which have their source
near Geseke, and. according to tradi-
ton, their waters had, subterranean
connection with the Alme, a mountain
stream whose bed is some five miles
distant. Millers located on. the lower
Alme dumped refuse in certain eddies
Of the upper portion Of the stream, and
the. millers on the Volmede, the Weld
and the Heder claimed that by doing
this the water. supply Of the latter
streams was materially diminished.
To determine the connection about
four pounds of potassium fuorescinate
was dumped into one Of the eddies Ave
miles from the source OF the Heder.
This, substance is marvelously power
full, and solution containing one part
in 100000 shows a distinct Auores-
1cence in transmitted light. Twenty
five hours later the Heder took on a
beautiful dark green color, showing
conclusiyely the conn ctiou between
the two streams. An experiment. at
another point showed with equal clear
ness that there was subterranean con-
nection between the Waid and the Vol
mede, though in this case "a hours
elapsed between the depositing Of the
dye stuff in the, Alme and the appear
'ance Of the celebration in the other
streams. ;t{

HUNGER AND CANNlBALlSM.
Ine Desire to Eat a Fellow Man Stronger
- - at Sea Than ON Land.

>A0 O0oA1o " EaC feuOW.Man stronger
- W. at Sea Than on Land.
Then it comes to pass, when the mo-
ment OF keenest agony is reached, that
the starving man begins to eye his
companion with the wolf glare of
beast of prey. His pangs become par
oxysmal. During their greatest in
tensity there springs up within him a
fierce impulse to Stay his neighbor that
he may feed upon his flesh and Stake
his thirst with his blood. This terrible
prompting to cannibalism, it may be
noted, is, however, rare, save in cases
of famine from shipwreck.
Although it is customary to regard
it as common feature Of starvation
and to make thrilling statements of the
frequency with which even mothers
will, under the goad of hunger, kill and
eat their children, and though startling
assertions to this effect have been
made by historians of great sieges, yet
it ought to be said that, as a general
rule, well authenticated cases of can.
nibalism among civilized people will be
found to occur only at sea. They are
very rarely found on land. And what is
more curious still, whenever famished,
shipwrecked men set foot on shore,
no matter how desolate and barren may
be their rock of refuge, they seem as if
by magic at once to Danish from their
minds the very idea of anthropophagy
or man-eating, and that, too, though
they might have been resignedly con-
templating it as an imperative neces.
sity a few hours before.
In the case Of Ensign Prenties, of the
Observation-Disclosures and his com.
panions, who were wrecked on the bar.
re1l island Oft Cape Breton in 1850, the
difference between famine on shore and
on sea is curiously exemplifed. Prem.
ties records that they were able to en-
dure the most fearful pangs of hunger
without ever so much as a thought of
rcsorting to cannibalism for relief
long, however, and only SO long as they
kept on land. But when they took to
their boats and it was not once mere
~ that they. experienced this-in order
to. escape from their rock-bound prison,
though they were not whit worse off
for food than they were on land, yet
the moment they put to sea, with one
accord they began to think of killing
and eating one of their number. On
the other hand, when they found their
attempts to escape futile and put back
to shore, whenever they landed the hor-
rible idea of cannibalism seemed to van

CURIOUS CHINESE CUSTOM,

~ssAAAS TO Ml0O CQO 0108o10& OF Having
Written Characters.
In work entitled IAN Australian
in China" occurs description of the
queer practice in China of honoring
waste paper by committing it to tho
flames. In the center of the green
stands the hollow pillar, in which Chi
nese waste paper is reverently burnt.
"When letters were invented" the
Chinese say. Heaven rejoiccd and hell
trembled.'' Reverence the charac-
ters," is an injunction of Confucius
which no Chinaman neglects to follow.
He remembers that ''he who uses let
tered paper to kindle the fire has ten
dement's, and will have itchy sores"
he remembers that ''he who losses
lettered paper into dirty water, or
burns it in filthy place has 20 demer-
its, and will frequently have sore eyes
or become Blind" whereas, ''he who
gets about and collects, washes and
burns lettered paper has 5000 merits,
adds ~ years to his life, and will be-
rome honored and healthy, and his chill
dren and grand hildrenw will be virtuous
and flial." But his reverence has strict
limits, and while he reverences a piece.

is written, he often thinks himself alb
solved from reverencing the moral pre-
cept itself. ..I35lS@

of grotesque posters, built on the lines
of Aubrey Beardsley's phantom fan

general as a means of advertising news

the world should know how the de-

method used by all the better poster
makers. Every night he goes to this
bit, cold broiled lobster, two cream
rolls and dish of ice cream and drinks
a quart of cheap claret. Then he goes
home, drinks two glasses Of ice water,
retires and the nightmare does the rest
In the morning he sketches the hor-
rors he saw in his dreams and finishes
them as the orders for posters pour in.
He is making q fortune in the business.

DOG OF THE IRON MASK.

Although Only an~Arlstocratic Statue 10
Deceived tho Street Mongrel.
A relative who lives in one of the one.
time fashionable mansions now be-
come students boarding houses, in the
south end, tells me a pretty good story
of dog, says a reporter for the Boston
Post. In the yard, where a fountain
was once known to play, but where now
dust gathers, is an iron statue of dog.
The iron dog watches and guards the
old fountain, but he in his turn has an
admirer and adorer. The other day,
hunting for another dog to go out and
play tag with him, came o young street
mongrel. He was unaccustomed to the
ways Of aristocracy, and in his simple
ignorance supposed that anything that
looked like dog was a dog.
II Up to the statue he bounded barking
and wagging his tail. In stately i'm
mobility the iron dog gazed on out into
vacancy. This did not deceive the
other. He had seen plenty of dogs as
sumo just that naughty and abstracted
manner when they did not care to fight.
Wishing to show his iron friend that he
appreciated his attitude, but assuring
him OF no evil intention, the dog from
the street kept on barking and wasging
his tail. He even ran around his friend
q number of times to show that there
was no ill-will- las is the manner of
dogs. But the dog of the iron mask did
not bulge. My relative says that he is
sure that even if the street dog had
brought around a cat to chase the iron
dog would have remained unmoved. A
red Irish setter came out finally and
called the street dog away. The latter
went with distinct traces of reluctance
in his manner. He liked the style of
that iron dog and had rather play in his
yard with him.
