The parties were married in Texas in
1876 and resided with their five children

complaint alleged desertion and cruelty.
Previous to his going to Mexico few

children. There was no contention on
his part, the case going against him
practically by default.

Cost of a Loaf OF Bread.

The average pound loaf of fresh
bread sold by bakers, says a college
professor, weighed on an average about
one pound one ounce. A pound loaf of
bread can be made from about three
quarters OF pound of flour, about 25
per cent of water being added to the
-four during the process of breadmak-
ing. With some fours to 10 per cent
more water can be absorbed, making
g greater weight of bread from a given
weight of flour. This additional weight
is water and not nutrients.
At cents pound for flour it is es-
timated by the professor that a pound
loaf of bread can be made, not count
ing fuel and labor, for about cents, a
half cent being allowed for shortening
and yeast. The loss Of dry matter in
breadmaking is usually considered as
amounting to about 2 per cent of the
-four used. In exceptional cases, as in
prolonged fermentation, under favora,
BILE conditions the losses may amount
to per cent or more.

Some English Cran.<x.

When lived at Newport, z. l., from
1864 to 1878, says Colonel T. ". Hig-
ginson, in The Atlantic, there was a
constant procession Of foreign visitors,
varying in interest and often quite
wanting in 1t. remember one eminent
literary man who. in spite of all cau-
tons to the contrary, appeared at a
rather fashionable day reception in
what would now be called a golf suit,
of the loudest possible plaid, like that
of the Scotch cousin in Punch who
comes down thus dressed for church
to the terror of his genteel cousins. In
this case the visitor also wore spy
glass of great size, hung round his
neck, all through the entertainment.
Another highly connected English
man, attending an evening reception
given expressly for him, came into the
parlor with his hat and umbrella in his
hand, declining to be parted from
them through the whole evening,
which suggested to clever Newport
lady the story of the Snowman who
exhibited a picture Of Daniel in the
lions den and pointed out that Daniel
was to be distinguished from the lions
by having blue cotton umbrella un-
der his arm. In this case, the lady re-
marked that the conditions were re-
versed. since it was the lien that car
ried the umbrella. t.,e .

The Most Ancient Machine Tool.


There can be very little doubt that
the potter's wheel. or potter's lathe, as
it is also termed, represents today the
most ancient form of machine tool
known. Among the many sculptured
records OF the trades and occupations
which so vividly represent the customs
and habits of the ancient Egyptians
the potter and his wheel have been
found frequently depicted, and 1t is
curious to note that through the al
most countless generations since that
time this crude type of lathe has under
gone no material modification.
: The primitive form was evidently q
snail, round table set on a pivot and
free to revolve, being turned by hand
at intervals, and to this device there
were added in the course OF time such
simple conveniences as a table to srp-
port it and foot or hand power turn
ing arrangement, displaced in recent
years in possibly a few isolated eases
by actual engine power driving. In
general use, however, the potter's
wheel Of the present time bears all the
characteristics of the one which, 1000
years or more ago, served to turn out
pottery attesting unsurpassable taste
and skill.-Cassier's Magazine.

s'The battle of Manila was won in
Hongkong harbor," said Admiral Dew
ey to me when l first saw him in May,
1898, and heard him describe the great
fight Many times since then l heard
him repeat the same sentiment, and
the more the truth of it is considered
the more light it sheds on his charac-
ter. While ne was brave, strong,
prompt and decisive in action, LIE was
thoughtful. cautious, deliberate and
sure in preparation
Day after day he summoned his cap
tains to discuss all the possibilities
and eventualities Of a conflict with
the enemy. He gave them an oppor-
tunity to say when, where and how
the battle should be fought from
junior to senior he called upon them
TO express their opinions freely. If
any nan had novel idea, it was given
careful consideration. If it was an old
one with improvements, it was viewed
In all phases.
After the admiral had patiently
heard his captains and duly interro-
gated them, he quietly told them his
own exact plan Of battle and just what
he expected Of each man. Whether
this was made up originally out of his
own ideas or from such in union with
the best points advanced by his cap
tains, it was reached only after thor.
ough deliberation and was fnal.-Hon.
