Stowaway brides are not as rare at

1t is quite easy for a girl to slip on
beard an outgoing steamer and stow
herself in one of the hunks below
decks, lying quietly there until we'll
out to sea.
A case happened a little while ago,
the girl coming to meet her fiance
here. AS both were poor, the former
resorted to this perilous expedient. to
accomplish the desired end.
One would think that such a Heroic
endeavor would deserve a better re-
ception; but, upon arriving, having
been worked very hard on shipboard
for passage, the maiden was so
changed by the ordeal Of love, that
when her betrothed met her he re.
fused to marry her:
A few days later, while. being taken
back to the ship for deportation, she
!eaped into the bay. Rescued gallant

A CHASTITY fear was in his eyes. Had

she fed to him? Just when his hopes

But IL you are wise, you will not In
quire too closely into the detailssof
the process. The preparation OF the
bread, in sheets hardly thicker than
sheet Of paper, Is a real art among
the Moki women. a corner in the n
principal room is set aside for the ac-ss
commodation Of q shallow trough,
walled in with slabs Of stone set on \
end. The trough Is divided into three
compartments, and in these the first
process Of bread-making takes place.
When bread is to be made, a. girl
kneels behind each compartment.
Shelled corn is then put on, the nat
stone in the first compartment, and
with coarse oblong stone the first
girl proceeds to rub it. The coarse
meal thus prepared is passed on to the
next compartment. Here it Isl again
rubbed with stone less coarse, and,
passed on to the third stage. The re-.
suit is q decidedly fioury meal. With.
brush which is made of dried grass
bound together with a string of cali
co, and with which the floor Is swept
between times, the meal is then gath
cred up and mixed with water to. g.
thick batter. Then comes in the art
of the baker. She takes single
handful of the batter and spreads it
over long, fiat stone, under which a
fire has been for some time burning.
entire surface. When one side is bak'
ed she takes the bread by corner
and pulls it off dexterously,. turning
it the other side up. When it is DONE,
long, fiat basket receives it, and the
baker turns the edges all around, SO
that the air can get at it. Sheet after
sheet is baked until the basket is piled;
high with the blue bread, or "piki,"
which the baker pronounces ''peka.'
No salt is used in the batter, and the
piki has sweetish taste. 1t is usual,
ly blue, partaking of the color Of the
corn from which it Is made tits eat;
en- dry or in sort of soup. When the
men go on a journey they take pikt
made into rolls, very much as ona
would roll up sheet of wet paper, the
bread being Of about the same thick.
ness as the paper. The stones upon
which the bread is baked are prepared
by the old women Of the tribe with
great secrecy and much ceremony.
They are very valuable, and are hand'
ed down as heirlooms from mother to
daughter. The first stage in the pros
cess, SO says Popular Science News, Is :
smoothing and filling of the surface OF
the stone with hot pitch. It is then
smoked and rubbed for many days,
with an accompaniment Of rude chant
ing. AS far as white man may know.
the first rubbing is with smooth
stone, the next with pieces Of wood.
while the finishing work is done with
the bare hands. The result is a jet
black, smooth surface, to which, the
piki does not stick in baking.

sightless May Enjoy the Pleasures Of
Reading.
A good work never stops. Since the
Congressional library at Washington
opened a reading room for the use Of
the blind-the first instance of the
kind known-its example has been
followed by public libraries here and
there throughout the country, and the
sightless are no longer deprived Of the
pleasures of reading. In Washington
itself the work has widened in influ-
ence. The afternoon reading in "The
Pavilion Of the Blind" as the reading
room is called. have been wonderfully
successful. There authors and singers
have come to give pleasure by readings
and music, and the blind chaplain OF,
the house frequently devotes an after
noon to the entertainment of his com.
panions in darkness. He has softly
modulated voice. and often repeats,
poetry Of religious character. When.
the Eppiscopal convention was in ses--
sion in Washington, several Of the
bishops became very much interested
in this work for the blind. Bishop
Whipple and Bishop Whitehead read.
twice during the week they were there,
and through their efforts and those Of:
Bishop Gilbert and Dr. Samuel Hart,
the prayer book was printed in, the.
New York Point system and placed in.

to minister to those less fortunate than

five have taken turns in escorting the.
blind people to and from the readings.
Several members of the, committee.
have learned the tedious, system Of
writing in New York Pointsand Braille..
