BREAD OF THE NATIONS.

how the Staff of Life Is Made Among
Various Peoples.
It is curious and interesting study
to 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 -four, is within
reach Of all, rarely thought is given
to the fact that, after all, the inhabit-
ants of only small portion Of the
earth'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 even
tually they are as hard as bricks.
Farther north still bread is made
from barley and oats In Lapland oats,
with the inner bark of the pine, are used.
The two together, we'll ground and
mixed, are made into large, fat cakes,
cooked in pan over fire. In dreary
Kamchatka pine or birch bark by
itself, we'll macerated, pounded and
baked, frequently constitutes the whole
Of the native bread food. The Icelander
scrapes the "Iceland moss' of the rocks
and grinds it into -four, which serves
both for bread and for puddings.
In some parts of Siberia, China and
other eastern countries fairly palata-
BILE bread is made from buckwheat. In
parts of Italy chestnuts are cooked,
ground into meal and used for making
bread. Drrra, variety of the 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 large
portion of the inhabitants Of India.
In Persia the bread is made from rice,
/ -four and milk; it is called ''lawash. -
The Persian oven is built in the ground,
about the size of barrels 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 thorough
" heated. Enough dough to form
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. It takes only few
moments to bake and when baked it is
spread out to cool. This bread is cheap
Il cent sheet; it is sweet and nour-
ishing.
A specimen of the "hunger bread'
from Armenia is made Of clover seed,
fax or linseed meal, mixed with edible
grass. In the Molucca islands, the
starchy pith of the sago palm furnishes
white, foury meal. This is made up
into fat, oblong loaves, which are baked
in curious little ovens, each being dl-
vided into oblong cells to receive the
loaves.
Bread is also made of roots III some
parts of Africa ard South America. 1t
is made from manioc tubers. These
roots are deadly poison if eaten III the
raw state but make {; good food II
properly prepared. TO prepare it tor
bread the roots are soaked for several
days in water, thus washing out the
| poison. The tibers are picked out, dried
and ground into -four. This is mixed
! with milk, if obtainable; if not. water
is used. The cough is formed into lit
tie round loaves and baked i'll hot ashes
or,dried in the sun.-Sanitary Record.

Cheeri.y. earth! Be glad and sing
Love is above: the years at the spring.

Face OF the sky on his azure wings.

Of the changeless sky and the changing

This voice of the springs first herald blest!
o earth, be glad! The brown breast heaves,
For God is above! The wings upstart.
Is this thy message, by mortals heard?
Since heaven and earth can touch in 4 bird
Perhaps they are never so far apart?
Cheerily, earth Be glad and sing

SAASSAAAASS&4SSS,
from all prying or joking eyes, Eudora
would unbend and talk and laugh and
be sweet and friendly with him
Taking all this into account it is not
to be wondered at that the sight of big
Gus Sanderly, who was all he wished
to be and was not, walking down in
close and evidently pleasant converse
with Eudora should turn all .Ioe's
thoughts to bitter ones and make his
handsome eyes grow dark with anger
He was not even Modified when Eu-
dora produced the pile of sandwiches
made expressly for him, without q bit
of mustard, or when she gave him the
biggest quarter of the pie, and when the
two visitors started to pick up the debris
and journey back again to their own
dinners he determined to go along with
them.
Eudora was in mood that day which
made this arrangement suit her very
we'll. She thought it would be rather
amusing to see the two men glare at
each other little longer, and she even
started home by another road III order
to extend the episode. You see there are
some things in feminine nature whioh
do not need cultivation or experience
they come by nature
But, contrary to her expectations, talE
languished, and when they struck the
path that led along the top OF the rail
road cut and the chimneys of the Steb-
bins house rose up almost beside them
nobody was saying anything at all.

and common carelessness can make a
combination strong enough to defy
all the healing skill of the physician.
Common carelessness lets the cold
root and grow. Common carelessness
says, between paroxysms of cough
ing, "It will be all right in a day or
two," and the common end is con-
firmed lung trouble, perhaps con-
sumption. The common-sense treat
ment of a common cold is a prompt
dose of Ayers Cherry Pectoral. 1t
is the most efficient and reliable cure
for colds and coughs, and is con-
stantly prescribed by physicians.
S. HAYNES, NJ. d., Ssranac, N. Y, says -

practice since 1853, and have always found
it reliable for the cure Of colds, coughs, and
all lung diseases"

NOTES FROM FIRE.
TWeed's Stable Caught From a Stove
Pine Not Properly Protected
From the Wood.

1t was reported yesterday that the fire
OF Monday night which destroyed the
feed stable OF j. Tweed, at Sixth and
Walnut streets, was of incendiary
origin.
The police department of the city DO
not credit the report but give it out as
the general opinion that the fire was
caused by a stove pipe which ran up
through that portion Of the building in
which the flames were first discovered.
The building was damaged to the ex.
tent probably of 5000, the loss OF
Mr.. Tweed, the tenant, will probably
amount to 5000 and the damage to the
Bethel A. M. i. parsonage is about $500.
The Washington Fire Company,
though first on the scene, met with the
worst luck OF any of the companies on
the scene. In the first place they got 9
fire plug at the corner of Walnut and
sixth streets, which was in poor condl..
uion, and they could not get a pressure OF
forty pounds during the entire evening.
Part of the time they were unable to
throw stream from their one-and-a.
half.inch nozzle up to the second story OF
the burning building. The company also
lost the crank off their hose carriage.
