lAPlAND RYE CAKES.
For General Unsatisfactorincss as Food
Writer Awards Them the Palm,


Looked back at from distance, the
rye cakes of Lapland do not carry
pleasant memories. In fact, of all the
foods that ever got past my teeth-and
IN rambling about the back corners OF
THIS world have come across some I'M
canny morsels-the bread of Arctic
Lapland carries the palm for general
insatlsfactoriness, says one who has
Travelled extensively.
The grain Is sown and suffered to
come up as the weather and the weeds
permit. When II Is as near ripe as 1t
chooses to get, 1t is reaped, ana with
the husks. the bran, the larger part of
the stalk and a fair percentage of the
compani0nable weed, IL is chopped into

The dough Is paved out into disks a
foot in diameter ana from hvc.clghths
to three'quartcrs of an inch thick. Each
disk has hole in the middle. and when
the cakes are baked they are strung Oh
stick ana hung up on the raftcrs for
use as required. Age neither softcns
nor hardens their texture.
There are two varieties of these de.
lcctable cakes. One sort Is like India
rubber, and on this we could make no
impressions; but with the other kind,
which Is of the consistency of concrete,
we could, as n rule, get on quite well IL
given time. II was ilny0rlcss, unless
packed with stale fish.
IL was not strengthening either, as
the system could assimllate very little
of 1t; but STILL there was no denying
that the cakes did MI the stomach, and
for this purpose we employed them
ravcnously when they came In our
way, There Is no ache so bitter as that

Cows Taste In Music.

II am not an agriculturist, but for
ten years lived with an uncle who
kept cows. We had several changes of
cows and milkmaids during that period.
It was noticed that certain milkmaids
could draw more milk than others. Our
most characteristic COW was Trieste, 20
named on account Of her sad bearing,
and It required the most touching OF
border songs to prevail upon her to
give O decent supply Of milk. The old
woman who generally MIXED her al.
ways wound up with the Land OF the

milking process. A new hand once
tackled Trieste with seq songs and dire
consequences. Another COW was call.
