Most of the bread consumed by the la
 boring classes contains 15 per cent. to
 20 per cent. of corn meal. One bakery
 company in this city informs me that
 during 1900 it put 112,200 pounds of
 white corn meal in its bread, and this is only one of the 276 bakeries in Liege. The importance of such general use of corn by the bakers will be better un- derstood when 1t is known that more than nine e-tenths of the bread consum- ed in Belgium is made by them. It is of very good quality and is sold cheaper than most bakers bread in the United States One bakery in this city makes on an average, l am informed, 16,0OO loaves per week of what is known as Murphy bread, which con- tains more than 25 per cent. of white corn meal It gets it's name from Col onel Charles J. Murphy, late commits sioner of the department of agricult- ure.
 When Colonel Murphy was sent to Europe to boom our cornp products there many thought his work wouldn't accomplish much. But it did, and many Europeans now know that corn Is good for something besides food for animals

JUST E EFORE THE BATTL

AS Yale did right in removing Glass from the football team she ought to have the reward of virtue to-day in a victory over the striped one. But things don't always work as they ought to in this world, and sometimes the reward or virtue seems to be postponed for season. If it should not come to-day we can at least have the consciousness of merit, and it is sometimes better to deserve things than to have them. If it should come we can proudly thump the protuberant chest and call atten- ton to the fact that Yale can play otball, even though she is chuck full of self-sacriicing honor She will play best what she can do in that line are confident that she will win. She has way of emerging from difficult situa- tions in good shape. This afternoon her representatives will be encouraged by a great multitude who will shout and sing in varied and picturesque ways, Our hearts, our hopes are all with thee,'' and the heroic eleven will do their best to answer the fervent ap- peal. The sun will set at the usual time tonight if they don't win, but if they don't it will be dark around here some
 
 time before sunset.

The Rev. Mir. P. I. Frey breaches in
 Williamsport Pennsylvania, and his wife breaches there too occasionally when he is away. Mrs Frey got a
 chance to preach last Sunday and she
 so improved the opportunity that she is better known than she was, and her
 husband is in danger of being known as
 the husband of Mrs. Frey Her text
 was Popular Sins" and she sailed into
 the sins and the sinners vigorously. One
 of the popular sins of the day, said she,
 Is theatre going. Many an old deacon
 will sit and snore In the house of God
 while the pastor is preaching the word
 but that same deacon will go to the the atre, sit with his eyes wide open and split his sides laughing oyer some silly, Our young girls care more for their pretty ball gowns and the flowers that some dude has sent them than they do for the robe of righteousness or the ap- proval of God Almighty. The drink evil has also crept into the church. Some of the best paying members of our churches have made their money through beer and whiskey, and plenty of church members have wine and beer in their cellars. Tobacco using is curse that should be wiped out To- bacco smoking on the street is the skunk of civilization, and no Christian can honor God and indulge in it. The saddest sight that the angels have to look upon is the theater-going, dancing, 1 wine- drinking, card-playing church ! 
 There Is more truth than poetry in the remarks of Sister Frey. This is in- f deed wicked and adulterated genera | ton. Snoring deacons. silly girls, rum my church members, and cigarette Christians are much too common. And . the card-playing that the angels look down upon is especially discouraging.

LEAKS IN ENGLISH TREASURY.

Glimpse at the British System of
 Waste in the Army and Navy.
 The House of Commons committee on public accounts has published four re- ports this year. The reports contain good many instances of mismanage- ment of public money by governmental and administrative people. Here are few of those that have been found out:
 The admiralty hired the steamship Lusitania to serve as a transport, and then discovered that the vessel was un- suitable for the conveyance of troops. Then action had to pay e4, ,S90 being one months hire, because of this bargain. The admiralty do not even seem to have performed the work of inspecting ves- sels before hiring them as transports; this was delegated to an inexperienced committee"
 The war office wanted to acquire sev- en and one-q quarter acres of land at Woling for an artillery barracks. The price asked was G2,533. The war office refused to give more than e200O. Com- pilsory powers were taken and, as in that case, the vendor can add other patches of land to the sale and demand 10 per cent. extra in respect of com- pulsion, the nation had in the end to pay G6,S39 for nine and three quarters acres. The war office might have had the land at first for G34S an acre; care lessness and delay brought the cost up to 9702 an acre.
 The sum of e1,4S9,720 voted by Par liament for building warships was not spent, That is to say, 2S per cent. of the money considered necessary to be spent during 1S99-1900 on the naval guard of the empire remained unused The excuse alleged is delay by the con- tractors The admiralty have the pow er to fine contractors for such delay. Penalties to the amount of only G350 were exacted,
 The drainage of Hounslow Barracks was to cost G6,b00, according to esti- mate; the actual cost was e11,092. Re building the Nelson Monument on Portsdown Hill was to cost G1,091, ac- ,ordng to contract; the nation paid e1,411.

THE INGELLfG ENT BELGFA

Belgium is not q large country but she knows more than some other coun- tries that are much larger. This is in- dicated by the fact that she takes a larger proportion of the corn which is exported from the United States than any other country and the use of it is growing very rapidly there, as it's value as food is becoming more and more understood. One of our consuls writes as follows of the way in which corn uses to which corn is put in this coun- try are constantly on the increase.

 Troop service blankets to the number of 930 were sent from Bermuda to Dept ford. When opened they were found to be "moth-eaten and practically rags" The director of transports referred to the adverse climate of Bermuda, but there are special instructions, issued which, if followed, would guard against the effect of climate upon woolens.

Life on board the new submarines" Isn't all pie. The men on board the new French submarine Triton narrow ly escaped drowning, like rats in trap, the other afternoon. The vessel had gone out from Cherbourg for the pur- pose of making plunging trials with an
 apparatus invented for the purpose by
 M. Leubeuf. When in about seven
 fathoms of water the plunge was made,
 and the machinery acted so rapidly that the ship struck the bottom and sustained considerable damage. Water began to flow in rapidly, but the en-
 gineer ordered the safety leads" (de-
 tachable weights affixed to the vesseD
 to be cast adrift, and the boat quickly rose to the surface, but none too soon.
 Had the accident happened in rather deeper water 1t is thought that noth- ing could have saved her. As 1t was, sehe had very narrow escape. In the few minutes that she occupied in ris- ing to the surface she took in much
 water, and her crew were panic-strick- sen. Once on the surface the pumps were got to work, and a tug came and towed her into the arsenal for repairs.

Mr.. Bowser was due at his home at
6 o'clock, and Mrs. Bowser was won
dering what sort of new fad he would
bring home with him when he sudden
ly opened the door. AS he didn't give
the door kick and bang when he
yened it, she knew that he hadn't had
D. row with the street car conductor en-
route. AS he was humming a tune to
himself, she knew that he hadn't found
clothespin or shirt button on the
steps and would bring no charge Of
reckless extravaganza against her.

butcher had sent poor roast, and the
cook had had trouble with the range,
but as Mr.. Bowser piled his knife and
fork he complimented everything. He
also complimented Mrs. Bowser on her
personal appearance and the cook on
her culinary skill. Mrs. Bowser was
glad to see him in such good spirits,
and yet she was uneasy. AS dinner
was ended she almost hoped to hear
him say he was going around to the
club for an hour or two. He had no
such idea in his head, however. AS he
reached the sitting room he took off his
shoes, lighted a cigar and dropped into
chair with the observation:
well, but this is home! This is the
: way for man to live! A man who has
a home like this ought to be kicked for
complaining about anything. Did

came up with bill. 1t was balance

handed 1t to him, but no sooner had he
