Flowers Made of Bread.

One of the latest, and certainly most
effective, methods of making artificial
flowers is the use of fresh bread.
All that is required is loaf of fresh
bread, some wire and little coloring
matter. According to we'll known
maker of artificial flowers in the west
end of London. this novel method is
likely TO supersede all others. Not only
do these bread flowers look exactly like
the real article when freshly made, but
as the bread grows stale the flowers as
sumo slightly withered appearance,
which is almost identical with that of a
flower beginning TO fade.
As rule, ordinary artificial flowers
can at once be detected by the unnatu-
rally bright and fresh appearance they
present after being i'll the heated atmos-
phere of ballroom or elsewhere for
several hours, but the fading power OF
bread flowers practically insures them
against detection, even from the eyes OF

INTER COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS.
The Trial Heats Mt BerkIey Oval Not
Largely Attended.

Largely Attended.
New York, May 2s.-The Inter-Collegi-
ate Athletic Association began its twenty
second annual field and track events at
Berkeley oval this afternoon.
There was very small attendance of
spectators, but, as only trial heats are
run off on the opening day, a large at
tendance was not looked for by the man
agement. The track and infield were in
splendid condition to-day, and the weather
was almost perfect the only drawback be-
ing fairly strong northwest wind, which
blew directly down the stretch and inter
fered not a little with the time of the
runners in the sprints. Although there
were nearly 700 entries received for the
several events, a large majority of those
entered failed to put in an appearance,
and consequently there were not as many
trial heats as were looked for
Eleven of the universities and colleges
from which representa- ives came qualified
one or more men in the several events.
Yale has twenty-one men standing who
will contest in the semi-inals, and finals
tomorrow, and has at least one man in
every event. Harvard will also be repre-
scented in every event Tomorrow as she
has sixteen men who qualified. The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania boys had seven
teen representatives who qualified, and
the only event in which they failed was
the pole vault.
out of a team of eleven athletes ten
of the Princeton Tigers ran well up and
are entitled TO run again tomorrow. Co

well understood troubles as sleeplessness,
rheumatism, neuralgia on kidney diseases.
Paine's celery compound is used with
perfect assurance in those households
where only an intelligent, authentic
remedy can get any consideration. AS a
spring remedy nothing compares with 1t.
AS physicians are all the time saying;
The pain over the kidneys, headaches and
the misery of nervous debility should
be met by Paine's celery compound. Its
invigorating action is at once felt by the
irritated worn-out nerves and brain. 1t
makes new blood. 1t brings fresh
strength and vigor to tired, worn-out
men, weary women and to sickly children.
For those diseases which are the result
of weakened nerves, such as dyspepsia,
headaches, neuralgia and heart disease.
Paine's celery compound is the only log
ical, permanent cure. 1t feeds the vast
ed nerve tissues and regulates their
action. 1t tones up the entire digestive
tract and encourages the body to take on
flesh and to increase the volume of pure
blood in the arteries and veins.
