Paid His Debt.

When Joe Chamberlain entered the
house OF commons, he was anxious to
try his oratorical powers A certain
leading politician, who was plotting a
bill through the house, was approached
by one Of Mr.. Chamberlains friends,
who said
chamberlain would like to speak on
the bill. Can you give him chance?'

Time went on. Chamberlain gained
ground-became power in parlia-
ment. The leading politician, on the
contrary, had made a series Of blunders
which had imperiled his position. An
election was imminent. Forgetting his
previous record, he thought that if he
could get Mr.. Chamberlain to speak for
him he would strengthen his position.
He, therefore, applied to the right hon
orable gentleman.
The latter calmly surveyed him
through his eyeglass and said:

ed before many years" said a New
York doctor, for the number of per-
sons who are willingly giving up the
use of 1t 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
course of treatment has on their pa
tients.
For nearly all forms of dyspepsia,
gout, 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 invariable success of any of these
manufactures which prove an accepta-
bic 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 a
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 Stunned
even more than 1t is today. and this de
struction of n tradition that has lasted
centuries is already well under way.
Most of its force comes from the com.
plete satisfaction of the persons who
do give up bread entirely. They are al.
ways the most enthusiastic advocates
of the new theory on the subject

Chinese Porcelain.

Chinese porcelain was common in
Europe for 400 years before a German
potter succeeded in finding out the
process of making it. This Chinese
pottery is scattered all over the world
and everywhere valued. but nowhere
was the distribution more curious than
In western Canada. Early in the nine
teenth century Chinese junk was cast
away on the Pacific coast of America
just south of Vancouver island, and its
cargo of willow pattern plates fell into
the hands of the Hudson Bay compa-
ny's officers. Still in the remotest trad.
ing posts of the fur traders a few fine
specimens remain.
