Great Britain Again Refuses to Join
with Continental Powers.
LONDON, May 6.-Certain powers it has
been learned by the Associated Press, have
again made overtures to Great Britain look
ing to Intervention in the war between
Spain and the United States, but Great
Britain persisted in her refusal to take part
in any such movement. 1t is significant
fact that the British naval authorities have
decided to Immediately commission two new
battle ships, just completed,
The Yorkshire Post, which is one of the
best-informed and most influential papers
in the kingdom, referring to the efforts of
certain powers to induce Great Britain to
reconsider her determination not to take
part in any intervention between Spain and
the United States, says: America would
rightfully resent any interference at all re-
Sultan. If the continental powers attempted
1T they would be confronted with alli-
ance between the United States and Great
Britain. They are well aware of this, and
Russia, which has always cultivated the
friendship of the United States, which she
hoped to enlist against Great Britain in
case of need, is already anxiously regard
ing the action of the Marquis of Salisbury
and President Mckinley, asking herself
what will be the change in the aspect of
questions in the Ear East If the United
States, departing from her traditional pol
icy, is determined to retain possession of
the Philippine islands. 1t is, therefore, prac-
tically certain that the powers will not in

IN concert with them. and there will be no

PAUL KRUGER's STATUE.
BY Request of His Wife 1t VIII Wear
Plug Hat followed at the Top.


New York Times.
Municipal art is an attractive subject.
With a modeSty that is very well justified
more than facts when one speaks of it, but
of course that only gives to the dreamer
the wider swing, to the theorist the better
opportunity. 1t is a comfort to learn-Such
is humanty'S selfishness-that there are
places where it is of lower estate than with
us 1t is humiliatiug to find that such q
place is South Africa But let us hasten to
rather, how feeby there 1t has yet begun
to rise.
Sometimes with us wicked or mischievous
boys adorn statue with q plug hat. Our
sculptors have seldom gone quite so far.
But the colossal statue of President Paul
Kruger, now in process of erection at
Praetoria, WILL it is said, have "A stove
pipe hat perched on top of its head. Rumor
says that this suggestion came from Mrs.
Kruger When one pictures the counten-
ance of her wise and good, but hOmely,
husband, and the country plainness of the
wel-known photograph in which they are
shown seated side by side, one feels that the
first lady of the Transvaal may in fact be
better al loving than at at art. a better wife
than critic. and hence that rumor may for
once be true.
But rumor. or her daughter gossip, goes
further yet and says that Mrs. Kruger did
not pause at the proud request that a. high
hat should surmount her Dom Pauls sculp-
tured head. She asked that the crown of
the hat should be made concave, so that IL
might catch and hold rain water for the re-
freshment of the little birds that chose to
alight upon the statue. Art has to hang
her head at such news. but woman lifts hers
proudly at its revelation of tender, low

BREAD OF THE NATIONS.
How the staff of Life Is Made Among
Various Peoples.
Sanitary Record


1t is curious and interesting study to
compare the various material 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
thought is given to the fact that, after all,
the inhabitants of only small portion OF
the earth's surface enjoy such food. In the
remoter parts of Sweden the poor make and
bake their rye bread twice year and store
the loaves away, so that eventually they
are as hard as bricks Further north still
bread is made from barley and oats. In
Lapland oats, with the inner bark of the
ground and mixed, are made into large, fiat
cakes, cooked in a pan over fire. In
dreary Kamtschatka pine or birch bark by
itself, we'll macerated, pounded and baked,
frequently constitutes the whole of the
tive bread food. The Icelander scrapeS the
Iceland moss off the rocks and grinds it
into -four which serves both for bread and
buildings In some parts of Siberia. China
and other Eastern countries fairly pal
atable bread is made from buckwheat. In
parts of Italy chestnutS are cooked, ground
into meal and used for making bread.
Durra a variety of the milet. is much used
in the countries of India, Egypt. Arabia
and Asia Minor for making bread Rice
bread is the staple food of the Chinese,
Japanese and a large portion of the inhab-
itants of India.
In Persia the bread is made from rice,
flour and milk; it is called "lawash." 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 sides
of the oven are thoroughly heated. Enough
dough to form sheet about one foot wide
and about two feet long is thrown on the
bench and rolled until about thin sole

board and slapped on the side of. the oven.
