Hard Bread" Rarely Sent Back.

'Now, if the baker sends us loaf Ct
stale bread, said the old soldier, 1--WE
send it back. But, dear me, we didn't
often do anything of that sort in the
army. We didn't get very much soft
bread anyway-that is, regular bread.
What we had mostly was hard bread,
sometimes called hard tack-a kind OF
cracker, like soda cracker in shape, and
not unlike it i'll appearance, but thicker
And hard bread of good quality and not
more than month old wasn't bad. In
fact, it was very good. 1t was only

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Young Woman'S Body Found in a Will
mingtOn Creek.

| WILMINGTON, Del, March 2.-The police
are investigating the death of Mrs. Fannie
| Tuchton, of this city, whose body today was
found in the city race along the Brandywinc
| creek. The police advance the theory Of sui
| eide
! Elmer Thompson, a telegraph linemau, was
| passing along the race when he noticed some
object humping against the sluice gates. He
called some companions, and with II rope
pulled the object to the surface and found it
to he a young woman, we'll dressed. with dia-
mond earrings in her ears.
Deputy Coroner Chandler was summoned
and the body was removed to the morgue,
where it was identified as that of Fannie
Peacock, 1t afterwards transpired that she
was the wife of Stanly Tuchton. although
their most intimate friends did not know they
were married. Tuchton is we'll known and
wealthy. With his father he operates an ex-
trnsivc wholesale grocery and commission
business and the largest barrel factory in the
city
When the bodywas examined at the morguc,
the head aud face were found to be covered
with wounds. Two heavy Commissions. about
four inches long and half an inch wide, were
across the forehead and the right side of the
face wds covered with wounds. Nothing had
been disturbed about the body. The da-
mond earrings were still in their places, her
rings on her fingers and the gold watch bear
ing her initials fastened to her dress. In her
pocket was purse containing S11.
Tuchton when he saw the body, became
greatly agitated and was visibly affected.
He said that on last Thursday his wife came
to Wilmington from Philadelphia. where she
had been living for several months She met
him and he gave her sl15 to buy furniture for
! their new home, at 713 Tatnall street.
In the afternoon Mrs. Tuchton returned to
Philadelphia, her husband taking her to the
train. Before leaving Tuchton says, she gave
him back the S1l5, saying she did not need it.
Mrs. Tuchton left the city to return to the
home OF Mrs. Beidleman, at 1907 Thomp-
son street, whore she has been living.
On Saturday, Tuchton says. he went to
Philadelphia but could not find his wife and
so returned to Wilmington.
post-mortem examination was held on
Mrs. Tuchton's body by Coroner's Physician
Smith and DR.. j. p. Pyle. They found that
her death was due to violence, causing con-
cusson of the brain. She was dead, doctors
think, at least half an hour before her body
vas placed in the water.
Besides the heavy ante-mortem Commissions
across the forehead, all the right side of the
face. arms and legs We're covered with similar
bruises and cuts, as if the woman had been
knocked down on a pile Of stones or dragged.
When Tuchton announced the marriage to-
day it caused great surprise among their
friends. They were married about seven
months ago in Camden. and since then Mrs
Tuchton had been living in New York and
Philadelphia.

1t was Farmer Waddy that was doing

ity.

Farmer Waddy did watch, and he
hired others to help him watch. If this
were fiction, it would be the squire Or

The Argentine Republic has recently re-
vealed itself as redoubtabe competitor of
the Continental countries of Europe, which
formerly had the monopoly of the butter
trade in the markets of England. The
butter is sent from Argentine well wrapped
up with parchment paper and placed in
pine or poplar boxes of IA capacity of about
l20 pounds each. These boxes are shipped
from October to November in the refriger-
ator compartments of the La Plata, South
ampton and Liverpool steamers. The Ar
gentine butter arrives thus in Europe dur
ing the winter that is, at the period when
the highest prices prevail. From Buenos
Ayres no fewer than 10, Isl boxes OF butter
were shipped during the first half of the
year 1896, which is not the ordinary season
for such shipments.

1t does away with the discomforts of the

painless. 1t is the discovery of an eminent
and successful specialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce,

CHURCHGOING IN ICELAND.
Back Country Folk Who Travel Many
Miles to Divine Worship.


Miles to Divine Worship.
Jessie Alderman, in her articles Oh
"Threc Women In Iceland" in The
Woman $ Home Companion. tells how
she attended country church in the
northern part of the island.
1.-THE Sabbath day was full of inter
est, for we had not attended service in
the rural districts. In the early morning
we betook ourselves to the front of the
house to watch tic country folk assem-
Bile. In the distance we saw them ford
ing the river i'll IL long line, and in an
other direct men, women and chill
drcn rode :.oWly over the mountains
down to TIE farm. What the Sabbath
day means to these people few can re-
alizc. Some of them never see face be-
sides those of the members of the family
from one church day until the other.
What wonder, then, that they began to
assemble fully two hours before church
time? A peculiar form of salutation pre-
walls outside of the cities. With this we
had not yet been made familiar, and
our establishment can we'll be imagined
when we saw the men dismount, en-
brace and kiss each other. 1 learned
later that this is the usual form of salu-
tation among men in the inland dis
tricts.
1.-THE hour of service arrived, and, in
company with the preacher, who wore
a high silk hat, II loose, flowing gown
buttoned from chin to hem and great
white Elizabeth ruff around his neck,
we entered the church. From the back
seat we had full view of the congrega-
ton, and, not being familiar with the
language, the time was passed in medi-
tation on the situation.
In the pulpit the pastor was assisted
into long white robe, which fell over
the black one, and down his back hung
large surplice Of bright velvet, upon
which Il golden cross was wrought. On
the altar two great candles about yard
long and three inches thick shed Il dim
light. These were the especial charge of
III official who gave out the hymns and
between times snutfcd the candles with
an old time pair of shutters. After
church the worshipcrs Dispersed and
nGny Of them did not reach their homes
until night. y
