A Preacher Who Dug Cellars and
Moved Grass That He Might Live.
'Preaching for nothing a year and
finding himself" was the comment OF
a layman after he heard Rev. John
Angelow tell of his tribulations in the
Methodist Protestant conference the
other day, reports the Philadelphia Rec
ord. While the general sentiment and
sympathy were on the side of the
preacher, there are those who think he
should have withdrawn from the field
rather than toll so laboriously to keep
the wolf from the door when the people
to whom he had been sent failed 10 rally
to his support. The question has nat.
urally arisen among the members of the
conference as to how far a minister
shouldgo in his efforts to support him
self while he has a regular charge.
Mr.. Angelow's pathetic story of how
be was compelled to dig cellars, NOV
grass, and do other laborious work in
order to provide himself and those de-
pendent upon him with the actual neces-
saries of life, and of his triumph in keep
ing out of debt during the past year
formed chapter in the proceedings OF
the conference which will not soon be
forgotten. 1t was easy to see behind
the bare announcement of facts the
long siege of seif-sacrifce and woefully
close economy which he must have
gone through to make both ends meet
Mr.. Angelow is 90 years old, and for
IL years has been in full membership
in the conference. While he is not a
man OF brilliant attainments nor high
education, he is earnest, il telligent and
faithful to the cause in which he is en-

word or slap on the shoulder for the

Now, to tell you the truth, from the
very first mention of Long John in
Squire Trelawney's letter, had taken
fear in my mind that he might prove
to be the very one-legged sailor whom
I had watched for so long at the old
Benbow. But one look at the man be-
fore me was enough. I had seen the
captain, and Black Dog and the blind
man Pew, and thought I knew what a
buccaneer was ike-a very different
creature. according to me. from this
clean and pleasant-tempered landlord.
plucked up courage at once, crossed
the threshold, and walked right up to
the man where he stood, propped on
his crutch, talking to customer.
''Mr. Silver, sir ?" asked, holding out
the note.
''Yes, my lad,' said he; ''such is my
name, to be sure. And who may you
be?" And when he saw the squire's
letter, he seemed to me to give some
thing almost like a start.
'Oh!" said he, quite aloud, and offer

Just then one of the customers at the
far side rose suddenly and made for the
door. 1t was close by him, and he was
out in the street in moment. But his
hurry had attracted my notice, and I
recognized him at glance. Itwas the
tallow-faced man, wanting two fingers,
who had come first to the Admiral Ben
bow.
oh I cried, ''stop him! it's Black
Dog!"
Il don't care two coppers who he is"
cried Silver. But he hasn't paid his
score. Harry, run and catch him."
One of the others who was nearest the
door leaped up and started in pursuit.

What Was Hurt.

Many stories are told of the witty re-
torts made by certain judge who died
a few years ago, and among them is
one which proves that his wit did not
desert him in the most trying circum-
stances. One day as he was walking
down the steps which led from his town
house he slipped, lost his footing and
fell with many thumps and bumps to
the bottom. A passer-by hurried up to
the judge as the latter slowly rose to
his feet. 81 trust your honor is lot
seriously hurt?' he said, in anxious in-
qufry. 'My honor is not at all hurt, "
returned the judge, with rueful ex-
preston, "but my elbows and knees
are. [ can assure youi'-Tit-Bits.

BREAD OF NATIONS.
How thu stan of Life Is Made Among
Various Civilized and Semi
Civilized Nations.

It is curious and interesting study
10 compare the various materials which
serve the different nations of the world
as the basis of their bread. In this
country, where good bread, made from
spring and fall wheat flour, is within
reach of all, rarely a thought is given
10 the fact that, after all, the inhab-
itants of only a small portion of the
sarth's surface enjoy such food. In the
remoter part of Sweden the poor make
and bake their rye bread twice year
and store the loaves away, so that event
naliy they are as hard as bricks. Fur
Their north still bread is made from
barley and oats. In Lapland oats, with
the inner bark of the pine, are used.
The two together, well ground and
mixed, are made into large fat cakes,
cooked in a pan over fire. In dreary
Kamchatka pine or birch bark by itself,
well macerated, pounded and baked,
frequently constitutes the whole of the
native bread food. The Icelander
scrapes the Iceland moss" off the
rocks and grinds it into fine flour, which
serves for both bread and puddings.
In some parts of Siberia, China and
other eastern countries a fairly palat-
able bread is made from buckwheat.
In parts of Italy chestnuts are cooked,
ground into meal and used for max
ing bread. Durra, a variety of millet,
is much used in the countries of India,
Egypt, Arabia and Asia Minor for MAX
ing bread. Rice bread is the staple food
of the Chinese, japanese and a large
portion of the inhabitants of India.
In Persia the bread is made from rice
flour and milk; it is called '1awash."
The Persian oven is built in the ground,
about the size of a barrel. The sides are
smooth mason work. The fire is built
at the bottom and kept burning until
the walls or sides of the oven are thor
oughly heated. Enough dough to form
a sheet about one foot wide and about
two feet long is thrown ON the bench
and rolled until about as thin as sole
leather, then it is taken up and tossed
and rolled from one arm to the other
and flung on the board and slapped
on the side of the oven. 1t takes only
a few moments to bake, and when
baked it is spread out to cool. This
bread is cheap Zone cent a sheeD; it
is sweet and nourishing: A specimen of
the hunger bread" from Armenia is
made of clover seed, fax or 1inseed
meal, mixed with edible grass. In the
Molucca islands the starchy pith of the
sage palm furnishes a white, floury
meal. This is made up into fat, OBJ
long loaves, which are baked in curious
little ovens, each being divided into OBJ
long cells to receive the loaves. Bread
is also made from roots in some parts
of Africa and South America. 1t is
made from manico tubers These roots
are a deadly poison if eaten in the raw
state, but make a good food if proper
ly prepared. To prepare it for bread
the roots are soaked for several days in
water, thus washing out the poison;
the fbers are picked out, dried and
ground into -four. This is mixed with
milk, if obtainable; if not, water is
used. The dough is formed into little
round loaves and baked in hot ashes
or dried in the sun.-Sanitary Record.

DANGERS OF FRICTION.
COmbustibie Gas and Air Mixtures
Are Often IRnited by Even Very
Eaint Electric Sparks

A recent accident in London has
called attention to a hitherto little sus-
pected source of dange-that attend
ing friction or rubbing of any kind in
the neighborhood of an infammable
vapor. Rubbing often generates cleo
tricity, and the minutest of electric
sparks, too small to be seen or even
TO betray itself by the slightest snap
ping or cracking, may set fire to a
vspor. In the case alluded to, spark
from the friction of a hairdresser's
hand on his patrons head set fire to
the vapor of a hair-wash containing
kerosene. Lord Kelvin, referring to
the subject shortly after the accident.
spoke warningly of the readiness
with which cOmbustible gas and air
mixtures are ignited by even very faint
electric sparks. He said:
This readiness TO ignite is illus
trated in elementary lectures on cleo
tricity by Volta's camera-a little var
nished brass gun mounted on glass
pillar, and having a wide touch-hole
plugged with sealing wax, in the CEN
ter of which is mounted a brass wire
carrying 4 little brass knob outside,
and projecting inside to within one
twentieth of an inch of the end of an
other brass wire fixed to the metal OF
the gun. The gun is filed with an ex-
plosive mixture of oxygen and hydro
gen, and its muzZie is plugged with q
cork. The vanished outside is struck
with a piece of catskin, and, thus cleo
trified, the gum is left insulated on its
glass pillar. To fire il, all that is neces-
sary is to touch the projecting knob
with the finger. This causes discharge
of the electricity by two exceedingly
faint sparks. one barely if at ali per-
ceptible by the fingers before contact
with the knob outside, the other in
the one-twentieth of an inch air space
within the explosive mixture inside.
loud explosion is heard, and the cork
is projected with sufficient violence to
tear a canvas picture if it chances to
touch enc.
Ignition of vapor of bronze by an
electric spark IS we'll known to dyers in
their process of cleaning silks and
other fabrics by boiling large caldrons
of liquid kenzine. When the goods are
taken out of the caldron and spread out
to dry on table, explosions have often
taken pace, and there can be little
question that an electric spark, caused
by some slight friction between dried
or partially dried portions Of the fab
RIGS, is the incendiary."
All of which goes TO show that fric-
ton OF any kind should be avoided when
inflammable liquids are about.-Cas.

an Era.
CHANGING across the surface of every
day life in the Elizabethan days of ro-
bust manhood, it is interesting to no.
tice the lively, childlike simplicity of
manners, the love of snowy, brilliant
colors worn by both sexes, and to COM
pare these charming characteristics
with the sober haloiliments and re-
served manners of the present day.
Here is an example of the man of fash
ion, the beau-ideal of the metropolis,
as he sallies forth into the city to parade
himself in the favorite mart of fash
ionable loungers, ST. PauI's church
yard. His beard, if he have one, is
on the wane, but his mustaches are cuI-
tivated and curled at the points, and
himself redolent with choicest per-
fumes.
Costly jewels decorate his ears; a
gold brooch of rarest workmanship
fastens his bright scarlet cloak, which
is thrown carelessly over his left shout
der, for he is most anxious to exhibit
to the utmost advantage the rich hatch
ings of his silver-hilted rapier and dag
ger, the exquisite cut of his doublet
(shorn of its skirts) and trunk hose.
His hair, cropped close from the top
of the head down the back. hangs in
long love-locks on the sides. His hat,
which was then really new in the coun-
try, having supplanted the wooden cap
or hood, is thrown jauntily on one side;
it is high and tapering toward the
crown, and has band around it, richly
adorned with precious stones, or by
goldsmith's work, and this gives a
support to one of the finest of plumes

CHAPTER VIII.

AT THE SIGN OF THE SPYGLASS
When I had done breakfasting, the
squire gave me a note addressed to John
Silver. at the sign of the Spyglass, and
told me should easily find the place
by following the line of the docks, and
keeping bright outlook for a little
tavern with large brass telescope for
sign. I set off, oyerjoyed at this OPP
portunity to see some more of the ships
and seamen, and picked my way among
great crowd Of people and carts and
bales, for the dock was now at it's bust
est. until found the tavern in question.
1t was bright enough little place of
entertainment. The sign was newly
painted; the windows had neat red
curtains; the floor was Clearly sanded.
There was a street on either side, and
an open door on both, which made the
large, low room pretty clear to see in,
in spite of clouds of tobacco smoke.
The customers were mostly seafar-
ing men; and they talked so loudly
that I hung at the door, almost afraid
to enter.
| As was waiting, man came out of
of a side room, and at glance. was
sure he must be Long John. His left
leg was cut off close by the hip, and IN
der the left shoulder he carried a
crutch, which he managed with won
derful dexterity, hopping about upon it
like bird. He was very tall and

A SUMMER ROMANCE.

They met to-day at luncheon, and immense
was their SURPRISE:
Twas hard for them to comprehend the
scene before their eyes,
For only just a week ago they parted with
a tear,
And neither dreamed of meeting, face to
face, the other, here.
Twas at a cheap seaside resort their
friendship first began;
She was cultured heiress, he wealthy
nobleman.
And side by side they strolled about the
happy, wave-washed sands
TIL fate or fortune called them home to
widely different lands.
He DER the sea to sunny France must sadly
sail away,
Through California's orange groves she
all alone must stray;
But since vacation days are o'er-be still,
