b-ead Seems to Be Failing In Favor
as an Article of Diet.
81 look upon bread as an article OF
food destined to be completely abolish
ed before many years." said a New
York doctor, flor the number of per-
sons who are willingly giving up the
use of it increases every year. The ma
jority of them do this on the advice of
their physicians, who find more ground
for recommending abstinence from
bread as they see the results that such
a course of treatment has on their pa
tents.
"For nearly all forms of dyspepsia,
govt. rheumatism and kindred all
ments the patient is first told to shun
bread unless it be submitted to certain
preparation and be taken only in GER
tain forms. The great increase in the
number of hygienic foods that have
been put upon the market and the al
most inyariable success of any of these
manufactures which prove an accepta
Bile substitute for bread and other
starchy foods are other indications in
the change of the public feeling toward
bread as simple food which could be
taken under all circumstances.
''Some years ago man wrote book
devoted chiefly to exposing to the
world the harmful qualities of bread
Persons at that time thought he was
crank, and little attention was paid to
his very sound utterances on the SUB,
ject. But his opinions are now re-ech-
oed by most physicians, and the great
army of abstainers from bread gathers
recruits every day. The revolt against
such well established institution IS
naturally little bit slow. But bread
is destined to be ultimately summed
even more than it is today. and this de-
: struetion of a tradition that has lasted
centuries is already well under way
Most of it's force comes from the COM
plete satisfaction Of the persons who
do give up bread entirely. They are al

Death and Snuff.

A certain Margaret Wilson Of West
Minister, who was an inveterate snuff
taker. enjoined that quantity OF
Scotch snuff should be placed in. her
coffin. She also ordered that the ar
engagements connected with her funeral
should be as follows: 'Six men to be
my bearers who are known to be the
greatest snuff takers in the parish of
st. James, Westminster. Instead of
mourning, each to wear snuff colored

bought for the purpose and given to
them. Six maidens of my old ac-
quaintance to bear my pail, each to car
ry box filed with the best Scotch
snuff, to take for their refreshment as
they go along" Snuff was also to be
thrown on the threshold of deceased's
dwelling before the cortege passed
out, snuff was to be strewn on the
ground at every 20 yards in advance,
of the coffin, and the officiating clergy
mans fee was to be proportionate to
the quantity of snuff he consumed dur
ing the ceremony.-Household Words.

A House of BuIrushes.

The first place of worship in West
ern Australia was quite unique both
from its frail form of construction and
also the several purposes to which it
was devoted. This remarkable build
ing was made at Perth. then merely a
town site, by soldiers of the Second
company, Sixty-third regiment. shortly
after the detachment arrived at the
colony in 1929, and was composed al
most entirely of bulrushes. In adj
dition to this rude little edifice being
used on Sundays for divine worship. it
sometimes served as an amateur thea
ter during the week, and was used
during the whole time as barracks.

mo man has more reason to be CRATE

the Minister an Idler?" in Ladies' Home
Journal. while there are no doubt,
In so large body as the Christian
church, censorius hearers and ill-man-
nered congregations, just as there are
lazy and cantankerous ministers, vet
the average congregation is charitable
in its judgment of its minister, pa
tent under his failings, keenly appre-
ciative OF any good work he does, and
most responsive to all his good offices.
There are not many substantial COM
plants which a sane-minded and good
tempered minister can bring against
the average congregation, but he has
sometimes a grudge against his
friends which he does not express, but
which often rankles in his heart. It is
not anything they say nor anything
they do; it is the quiet and perhaps
unconscious assumption on their part
that he has not enough work to do, or
that he has considerable quantity of
time at his disposal"

FARM LAND AS AN INVESTMENT.

There never was time in this coun.
try before when 1t was SO difficult to
convert money into desirable interest
bearing security as now. The govern
ment places 2 per cent bond at pre-
MUM, the established railway corpora
lions, municipalities and school dis.
tricts float their securities at from 3 to
per cent, While farm mortgages are
easily placed at per cent with privi-
lege of yearly payments on the princi-
pal. Add to this the fact that as never
before is the assessor after the securi-
ties of the holder for taxing purposes,
still further reducing the belittled in
come from his money, and ii is not hard
to see that property held in the shape
of money is now held in one of its most
Improbable forms. Eight thousand
dollars invested in a good, improved
western farm at $50 per acre, granting
all the risks. capricious markets, I'M
seasonable weather, crop failures and
stock losses incident, will, taking
period of ten years, most surely pay
much higher rate Of interest than can
be obtained from any security to be
bad on the market, with the probabili-
ty that still further increased value
for the land will still further add to the
desirability Of the investment. Aside
from these considerations is the fact OF
the absolute safety of such an invest.
ment, neither flood, fire, pestilence nor
national financial crisis being able to
endanger it.

Habitat Of whales.

In the Zoologischer Anzeiger DIR.
Vanhoffen contests the usual state
ment that whales and cetacea general
ly are inhabitants Of the high seas. The
various plankton expeditions have re-
corded with much exactnese the num-
bers of whales seen, and their obser-
vations go to show that whales and dol
phins are in reality shore-hunting ami
mails. This is confirmed by the plank
ton records, which show that surface
forms are most abundant near the
shore, where their numbers are con-
tinually reinforced by the larvae Of
the littoral animals. Where whales
are frequently found in the high seas
observation shows that the area is one
to which currents carry the abundant
plankton Of the shore waters.
