The Largest Loaves of Bread

The largest loaves of bread baked in the
world are those of France and Italy. The
pipe" bread of Italy is baked in loaves
two or three feet long, while in France the
loaves are made in the shape of very long
rolls four or five feet in length and in many
cases even six feet. The bread Of Paris is
distributed almost exclusively by women,
who go to the various bakehouses at $3.50
a. M and spend about an hour polishing up
the loaves After the loaves are thoroughly
cleaned of dust and grit, the dread porter
proceeds on the round of her customers.
Those who live in apartments or flats find
their loaves leaning against the door.

A California Club Soliloquy

BY SEE WILSON BOARDER
with apologies to \. Longfellow, Esq.,
Tell me not in mournful numbers
Life is but an empty dream;
That board bills dead that slumbers,
Or that folks are what they seem.
Life is real life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Folks there are of mould the sternest
Who for board would risk soul.
Art is strong and time is heeting,
And our hearts, though strong and brave,
Are too soft to bear defeating
So that board bill must save.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of club life,
Deal with those who will not tattle-
Shun all widOws-they'r too rifeA
But, of all things. whate' 'er you do,
If YOU d not get roundly scored)
Keep your weather eye wide open,
And accept not private board.

Piles of egg shells and old signs,
And the pranks of that young Dutch Gus:
Seen by neghbors through the blinds.

Genesis of the Side Saddle

Some agile brain centuries ago devised the
side saddle for a lame princess who could
not ride astride as other women did in those
charming days. incidentally, this shows
that the modern practice among women OF
sitting on both sides of the horse is not
modern at all. First came the additional
pommel, and then. only sixty or .sevent,
years ago, the third ponmel An English
man who had bet that he could ride stee
plechase on a side-saddle found himself
compelled for safety to add another pommel
Many Englishwomen of this day use two sad
dies, and sit alternately on the right and left
sides of the horse.

THE HERALD'S MUSE
The Old Graveyard

There are places dear to mem'ry
Where my childhood's feet have trod-
Mystic dells with moonlight tracings
On the dew-bespangled sod;
Fairy hooks. by shady woodland,
Where q lonely willow weeps;
But my fondest recollection
Is the spot where mother sleeps.
How, In dreams, l see that graveyard,
With its every hallowd mound
Some fresh-made and lately covered,
Some low-sunken in the ground!
And each moss-grown tombstone stanoine
Ger some wearied sleeper's head
Keeps long vigil in Gods Acre.
And, there, sentinels the dead.
All. how we'll do remember
That sad summer day, long past,
When the village bell was tolling
And the tears were falling fast;
AS they lower'd the coffin slowly,
How from earthly pain and cares
Rested she among the lowly
Then we said the requiem prayers.
Silently the neighbors parted
Till soon every one was gone;
Still within that ghostly graveyard
Did l linger there alone:
Fixed 1 ev'ry rose and lily.
Smoothing down the rugged clay;
While thought my heart was breaking
AS l turned to go away.
Many weary miles I've travelled;
Many changing climes I've seen-
Daisied slopes and smiling valleys,
Islets fair and woodland green:
But there's not pictured landscape
That fond memory still keeps
Like the cherished recollection
OF where gentle mother sleeps!
