In the remoter parts Of Sweden the poor
people make and bake their ryebread

so that eventually they are as hard as
bricks Further north still bread is made
from barley and oats. In Lapland. oats.

The two together. well ground and mixed.

bread and puddings. In some parts
OF Siberia, China, and other eastern coun-
tries, a fairly palatable bread Is made
from buckwheat. In parts OF Italy chest
nuts are cooked. ground into meal. ana

Of the millet. is much used in the com
tries Of India, Egypt, Arabia, and Asia
Minor for making bread. Rice bread Is
largely eaten by the Chinese, japanese.
and a large portion OF the inhabitants
of India. In Persia the bread is made
from rice -four and milk: II IS called
"Lawash."
The Persian oven is built I'm the ground,

companions. AS death was near at hand
the swinish assemblage concluded they
couldn't be much injured by lending hin
an ear. And so the speaker was allowed
10 'shoot off his snout"-as they say in
hog parlance, which means the same
| thing as shooting off ones lip"
| The large brunette hog. with the bay
| window, thanked his hearers with gravity
| and dignity, and then incidentally re-
marked that this honor was wholly I'M
expected to him. He next quoted the
following Latin. which he had picked up
in a perusal Of "Quo Vadis":
"Morituri to salutant'
AS his auditors heard him. they be-
came more resigned to death, and noticing
this with satisfa ction, he said: where
fore are We bowed down with so
great a grief? Know We not that learn
ed professor hath recently said that hogs
and other animals have Immortality?
Hath death so many sorrows for you
that naught can bring you comfort? Think
OF the pleasures Of resurrection, the joys
Of that future life which awaits you. the
boundless troughs of swill and sops and
the myraids of acorns that are being
spread for you, who now shrink from a
bare bOdkin and the fear Of thorough
wash. Rather seek eternity with eager
ness and hasten TO that end which brings
these priceless comforts and Injuries"
-
And the audience, diminished every
moment by those especially segregated
for immediate destruction, listened with
rapt attention, and at the mention of the
swill and Stops and acorns many actually
ehuckled. Nothing more pleases hog
than the thought Of food. They are like
people in this respect. Truly. 1t was a
beautiful picture which the speaker
painted and at first many thought that
nothing appeared TO be lacking in this
sweet pig heaven which the orator pic
tured. But finally one old hog who
invariably made himself disagreeable On
all occasions determined to trip the huge
brunette and to knock his sketches OF |
porcine Elysium into a cooked hat.
And is there any mud in this pig |
heaven-any hog wallows? he asked. |
where l and my brethren can roll and |
which will have been polluted by the \
post norton wash these factory people |
give us ere we are transformed into hams
and sausage? Where, OH where, can
we hope TO find such wallows. with abum-
dant dirt and mud sufficient TO ac-
the thousands who are daily
within the awful walls OF
this establishment"
The words OF the dlsagreeable hog had
a marked effect upon the audience In
their thoughts about the future food
which awaited them they had for a mo-
ment overlooked that other essential TO
hoggish Northumberland. All eyes were
turned upon the brunette spokesman. to
see II he could give comfort in this par
ticular.
But the brunette hog did not show the
white feather; neither did he throw up
The sponge or yield the privileges OF the
1Oor. Yea, verify i was coming 10
that" he said. After you shall have par

taken Of the feasts that are prepared for
| you, glorious pace OF mud awaits your
| coming. There will be wallows enough
| for you all-mud-holes for the big and
| little; slush for the fat, and slush for the
| lean. No hog shall mourn or pine for
| dirt-all, all shall rub away that stain OF
4. cleanliness which Is the last mark OF
| ignominy placed upon you by these awful
| butchers. Far, far away in the East,
not many miles from the great ocean and
across the river from place called Man
chester, there Is city which has been
built and managed for your special uses.
Here the righteous pig can find nothing
but mud and dirt with which to regale
his happy hours Magnificent wallows
await you on the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
'rrothing over with glorious mud-while
at the crossings forsooth can be found
space for the accommodation OF your
fathers and forefathers. There is room
for all, and we who are faithful and good
and true shall even find a resting place
near the Arcadia Of swinlsh hopes-on
the great Ninth street. where even the
most exacting pig can find no cause Of
complaint"
And the gloom OF the Chicago fog was
frightened by these glad tidings. and the
executiOner's knife no longer had hor-
rors for the suffering captives. With such
guarantee OF future happiness they
feared not death and FASTENED to meet
their ends. "Our name is mud" they
joyously exclaimed as they rushed pell-
nell for the door which opened unto
slaughter and destruction. And there will
be mud for all

Shortly after Il this (Monday)
morning, following the posting of the
bulletin announcing the destruction of
Cerveras feet on the bulletin board, a
conference of prominent officials was
held at the white house. The news
was received with intense satisfaction.
1t was taken to indicate not only that

feet. whicn was not confirmed until

ADMIRAL CEPVERA.

one man was killed. Cervera made
as gallant a dash for liberty and for
the preservation of his ships at 1870
this morning as has ever occurred III
the history of naval warfare. In the
face of overwhelming odds, with moth
ing before him but inevitable destruc-
tion or surrender if he remained any
longer in the trap in which the Amer
lean fleet held him, he made bold
dash from the harbor at the time the
Americans least expected him to do
so. and, fighting every inch of his way,
even when his Ships were ablaze and
sinking, he tried to escape. The
Americans saw MIN the moment that
he left the harbor and COM
menced their work of destruc-
ton Immediately. For an
hour or two they followed the flying
Spaniards to the westward along the
shore line. sending shot after shot into
their blazing hulls, tearing great
holes in their sides and covering their
decks with the blood of the killed and
wounded. At no time did the Span
iards show any indication that they in
tended to do otherwise than fight to
the last; but at last they turned their
heads toward shore, ran them on the
beach and rocks, where their destruc-
ton was soon completed The officers
and men on board escaped to the shore
as we'll as they could, with the assist
ance Of boats sent from the American
men of-war. then threw thems elves
upon the mercy of their captors, who
rot only extended to them the gracious
hand of American chivalry, but sent
them a guard to protect them from 4
murderous band of Cuban soldiers hid
ing in the bush on the hillside eager
to rush down and attack the unarmed
and defeated but yalorous foe.
One after another of the Spanish
ships became the victims OF the awful
rain of shells which the American bat
tie ships. cruisers and gunboats poured
upou them. and two hours after the
first of the fleet had started out of
Santiago harbor, three cruisers and
two torpedo boats were lying on the
shore 10 to Is miles west Of MORO
castle, pounding to pieces, smoke and
flame pouring from every part Of them
and covering the entire coast line with
mist which could be seen for miles.
Cervera escaped to the shore in a
boat sent by the Gloucester to the as
sistance Of the 1nfanta Maria Teresa
and as soon as he touched the beach
