UNTOUCHED BY FINGERS.
Berlin Bakers Employ Hygtentc
Methods in Bread Handling.

| Berlin Bakers Employ HYGIENE
Methods in Bread Handling.
A novel improvement in baking has
been made by some of the most promi-
nent bakers of Berlin, which is the nat
ural consequence of the increasing Ten
dency to employ hygienic methods in
every trade deaAng with food and food
supplies, says the Philadelphia Record.
While rolls have long been delivered in
paper bags to customers, it has always
been the rule to handle bread with the
fingers, each loaf going through num-
Der of hands before delivered at the
consumers door, there to be received
by the bare, often not too clean, fin
gers of the servant. The recent i'm
provement, which has been covered by
patents, consists OF using paper bags
the exact shSpe of the curious sizes of
bread turned out by a baker. These
bags are open at both ends, and, being
slightly longer than the loaf, the ends
are turned together with twist as the
loaf is showed from the oven straight
into the bag. This cover will protect
the bread from any pollution after it
leaves the oven, for it is kept in the
paper bag not only while being handled
in the bakery and by the delivery man,
but it can be kept there while the loaf
is being used, being cut at one end as
the loaf gets shorter. The new system
has found a very quick spread, and the
best bakeries, who at once introduced
the new improvement, gained by its
adoption. Since the name of the baker
can be printed on the outside of the bag
without interfering with its usefulness,
it may be a good advertisement to adopt
such a plan here as well.

tough, you know, and will want some
cutting"
He looked hard at me, as if to read
my thoughts, but after time, con-
vinced that my suggestion was good
one, and examining his knife more
closely, he said:
eyes, doctor, think you are right.
A little grinding will do no harm; so, if
you don't mind waiting, I will just run
to the carpenters shop"
This was exactly what wanted, as,
feeling sure that he would not lock the
door after him, I thought my escape
would be easy. What was my dismay,
then, on his departure, at finding that
it was locked as securely as before.
Ipassed up and down in despair, tore
at the door, flung open the portfolio
window and shoutedwith all my might,
but all without avail.
Time went on, minute by minute, and
he could not be long now. In the fren-
~ of despair I CROPPED about from cor
ner to corner in search of some weapon
of defense; but no, not even the merest
stick, not the smallest thing upon
which to lay hands. And then heard
footsteps approaching in the distance.
felt my pulse quicken, my brow
grow hot. Impulsively threw off my
coat, got to the farthest end of the
room, and, standing as defensively as
possible, resolved to fight to the last.
I remember then the door bursting
open and the entry of A, not alone,
as I thought, but securely pinioned
and attended by two of the ships crew
in charge of the second officer.
The relief of the moment was so great
that it completely Frustrated me, and
my nervous system was much shaken
for some time, while the intensity and
realityof mysituation often now makes
me feel something akin to what the
condemned, about to be hanged, must
experience.
I learned afterward that the peculiar
and excited manner OF the maniac, the
large knife in his possession and his
anxiety to sharpen it drew suspicion
on him, which with the fact that had
been called to see him, induced the
officer to secure him and come to his
cabin.

Bride of Three Weeks.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer
the town of Colgate, /. T., is terribly
excited over the discovery of the hor,
rible cruelties inflicted by Wiley Ross
on his bride of three weeks. She was
found about quarter of mile from
the house, tied to tree, in which posi-,
ton she had been for three days, and
in all that time she received neither
food nor drink from her husband, who
had tied her to the tree.
The first ill treatment she received
was some ten days ago, when her hus-
band tied her to a wagon wheel. After
he had thus secured her he fred off
his Winchester over her head several
times, and proceeded to beat her with
a club. How long he beat her she does
not know, as she mercifully became
unconscious after the first few blows.
The next outrage was to tie rope
around her neck and pull her up to the
ioists in the cabin.
This he did, until he supposed shewas
dead. After she had survived this

ALONE WITH A MANIAC.
Blood Curdling Experience Aboard
an Ocean Vessel
Quick Wit and self-Possession OF an
Officer Saved the Life of the
Terrible Lunatic's Intend
ed Victim.

1t was on the fifth day of our voyage
as we were amusing ourselves on deck
writes physician in the London News
that a message was brought to me to
say that Mr.. A. would like to see
me in his cabin.
I had no difficulty in finding his
room and was met at the door by Mr.
A himself. He shook hands very
cordially and invited me to enter and
take a chair. No sooner had I done
so than he carefully locked the door
Thinking this rather strange, Inquired
as to his illness. He did not reply for
some time, and then said:
81 am not i'll. Isent for you" laying
his hand on large knife, "to cut your
throat"
He was man I had not before par
ticularly noticed, but now, as looked
up, fully made up my mind that he
was maniac.
I am not a coward, yet even now the
thought of that moment makes me
shudder. There was, in remote part
of the ship, alone with a mailman OF
twice my strength, without chance
to escape OF means to give an alarm,
and, being unarmed, quite at his mercy.
I had heard of other somewhat SINH
lar cases, and, though tyro in the pro-
fession, had had some experience
among the insane. I knew therefore
that resistance would be of the least
service to me, and that apparent ac-
quiescence would be best. All this
quickly flashed through my mind, and,
accordingly, feigning the utmost in
difference could, 1 said:
"Ah, yes, Mr.. A, to be sure. It
won't take long, will it?"
"Oh, no." said he, calmly surveying
the knife he now held in his hand. "Oh,
no; the job is quite a light one."
Here he poured out glass of wine
and begged me to drink it. As / did so
an idea struck me, and said:
By the by, Mr.. A, your knife
doesn't look very sharp; the trachea is
