The orIgIn or Rread aLakIng.

1t seems incredible that nothing
should be known Of the early history
OF the commonest article Of food.
But there is no record which tells
where wheat and corn we're first
ground and made into bread. Where
did wheat grow originally? EgYp-
tian monuments show no age when
grain was not in use, and the Swiss
lake dWellers who fourished thou
sands Of years ago, were agricultural
lists.
The ancient Romans and Greeks
thought that the FIRST member OF the
human race lived on ac0rns. Until
quite recent times, the inhabitants
OF the islands OF Corsica and Sar-
dinia lived on acorns and chestnuts.
Most modern stOmachs demand wheat
bread, though rye is also extensively
used
Maize, OF Indian corn, is indigenous
to the American soil, and it must
have been a novelty to the early Euro
pean discoyerers. The NOrsemen,
who visited this continent several
centuries before Columbus, reported
that wheat grew wild here, but they
probably meant maize.
The traditions and legends OF all
races Of men attribute the origin OF
agriculture to va i0us heroes and
diVinities. The Greeks had their
harvest home, and the ancient Deo-
pie Of south American countries also
observed the same festival
Grains OF wheat and corn have
been found in wrappings Of Egyptian
mummies Indeed, there is no land
whose inhabitants do not have in one
form or another a story purporting to
explain the beginning Of agricultural
pursuits, and hence the genesis Of
bread-making.

Nobody sits IN the little armchair
Il stands in a corner dim
Nut wbito-haired mother gazing there
And yearningly thinking Of him,
Sees through the dust Of the long ago
The bloom Of her boy sweet face
As no rocks SO merrily to and fro
With laugh that cheers the place
Sometimes he holds book ia his hand,
Sometimes pencil and slate
And the lesson Is hard 70 understand,
Aud the figures hard TO mate
But she foes the nod Of his fathers head,
So proud Of the little son,
And she hears The words so often said:
NO fear for our little one.
They were wonderful days, the dear, sweet days
When a child with sunny na
" a. hers 70 ecoid, 10 kiss, and to praise
Al her knee the liItle chair.
She lost him back IN the busy years,
When the great world caught the man,
And he strode away past hopes and fears
To his place Ia the battles van.
But now and then. IN a wistful dream,
Like picture out II dafe
She sees 6 head with golden gleam
Bent 0vGr pencil and slate.
And she likes again the happy day.

THE DOMESTIC GIRL.
She Ilas Rings on Her Fingers. but Makes
Good Wife,

Good wife.
To the weary business girl who
rushes through life with a wbirlwind
the dear little domestic home girl is
as refreshing as a lake breeze. If
you are a wage-earner with your
mind all befuddled with business
cares. just seek one OF these little
housewifely maidens and you'll get as
much comfort just from looking at
her as you would from two weeks
vacation She is so restful. She
hasn't been foolish enou4h TO save
some money and invest it in stock
and then have her brain Temporarily
unsettled cry time the price goes
down a notch or two.
She doesn't care cents whether it
rains or stOrms-she can fuss around
with her -four sieve and her cake
tins and be as happy as If the sun
were shining. Ii you call on her in
the morning, she'll rush at you with
a rolling pin in une hand and bis
cult cutter IN the other When she
kisses you the -four on her nose is
transferred to your own, and you
pick little chunks Of dough from be-
tween your fingers all the rest Of the
day. Then she'll march you into the
kitchen, aDd there. sitting ia row,
are cakes. with coats Of frOsting and
loaves OF bread that have oyerrun
their pans a d pies With edges all
duied and scal ped. She puts
her little belaced and beribbOned
head on one side, surveys her work
with twice the admiration with
which you snrve your monthly earn
ings and says, "Aren't these just too
lovely?"
They say that the gentle home girl
is growing scarcer ever year Who
can censure a man when he carries

iour-roomed falryland that is the
