Lar AYETTE'S FAMOUS VISIT.
There Was Great Excitement Over His
Trip to the United States.

Trip to the United States.
Jean Fraley Hallowell, who writes
in The Ladies Home Journal of "When
Lafayette Rode Into Philadelphia, !"
says that lit is difficult to understand
at this late day what a furore of ex-
cltement passed over this country when
Lafayette arrived once more in Amer
lea. The visit is q historic event to be
remembered while memory endures.
During President Monroe's second ad-
ministration the United States extended
its invitation to Lafayette He arrived
at Staten Island on Aug 15 (Sunday),
1924, accompanied by his son, George
Washington Lafayette, and also by his
son-in-law. A formal reception took
place on the following day, the first
fruits of the most abundant harvest of
welcome which Lafayette was to receive
during his year CT travel through the
United States
Lafayette was 81 years old when he
visited America as the nations guest
and carried his years lightly. His head
was shaped like that Of Burns. He had
a high forehead, long, aquiline nose
and a rather thin face His hair was
sandy and quite plentiful His eyes
were dark gray, restless and twinkling,
his eyebrows light in color, but heavily
marked. His mouth was firm, and his
lips smiled courteously at the holiday
crowd assembled to do him honor. The
general was not very tall, but we'll
made. His face was distinctly pleasant,
of shrewdness, decision and gay good
humor. His costume was swallow
tailed coat and trousers of dark brown,
with great display Of white waistcoat
and neckcloth. A bunch of seals hung
from broad black ribbon at his waist
Over his shoulders hung cloth riding
cloak, greenish blue in color and lined
with red -

Unleavened Bread.

Leaven Is ferment. Fermentation is
decay. 1t destroys the sugar in the
grain, and if allowed to go on rots and
destroys "the whole lump"
One kline Of bread every Israelite
knew how to omake-unleavened bread;
for they were obliged by the law Of
Moses to eat only that bread one week
in each year. Probably when they
found how good it was they continued
to make it much of the time.
How can it be made? Take water, or
milk, or milk and water, and mix with
flour and bake in small or thin cakes,
in a quick oven, and see how sweet 1t
tastes. 1t may be kneaded and baked
in little biscuits; it may be poured as
batter into shallow tins, or it may be
rolled or spread out, into thin cakes,
and when baked in a hot oven it will be
delicious. Use no saleratus, baking
powder, eggs, sour milk, yeast, salt,
sugar, or any other thing except -four
or meal, and pure water or milk.
Perhaps the best bread may be made
in this way: Set a French roll-pan, or
a set of little cake-pans on the stove to
heat. Take a pint of cold milk or cold
milk and water, and shake or sift fine
flour, or entire wheat meal, or -four and
corn meal, into the milk, stirring 1t
briskly until the batter is just stiff
enough to 1un smooth when it is turned
out into the dishes. Then butter your
dishes and fill each about two-thirds
full. Let it stand on the hot stove till
bubbles begin to rise to the surface.
Then shove the pan into hot oven and
let it stand fifteen minutes without
looking at it. Twenty minutes baking
brings it out brown and beautiful, light
and sweet, the best bread you ever
saw; healthy whether hot or cold-only
you will like it SO well you will want
to eat too much of it.
Will it be light? OF course it will.
The batter is full of air. The heat of a
quick oven seals up the top of the
bread, and then the air expands with
heat and raises the bread.
If you want to know how good such
bread tastes do not daub it over with
salt butter till you cannot taste the
bread at all, but take piece when hum
CRY, or when travelling, and chew it
slowly and enjoy it. If you cannot dc
this lay piece of it side by side with
slice of ordinary raised and soured
bread before a cat or dog, and see how
quick they will tell the difference.
Put nothing whatever in your bread
but flour and milk and water and you
will say, "Evermore, give us this
bread"

During the American Revolution an
English magazine published all estimate
of the North American colonies. Plac-
ing the population then at 2, 200, 900
and assuming that it would double it
self every 20 years. the writer estimated
that in the year 1890 the number would
have increased to GA, 000,0 This may
be taken as a most remarkable prophecy,
inasmuch as the census of 1890 fixes
the total population at 62, 1922, $50.
