The Gingerbread Test.


The late President Faure, of France,
was vain man, and those about him
automatically played upon his vanity;
but on one occasion he heard the truth
when he least expected it.
He had invited the officer Of the Ely
see guard to breakfast. much to the
trepidation of that official, very shy
gentleman. Suddenly Monsieur Faure
turned to the officer and asked:
Am popular?"
Taken off his guard and yielding to
the truthful impulse, the officer replied:
81 do not think SO, Monsieur le Presi-
dent"
"And why do you not think so?" ask
ed the President, rather sharply.
Because" said the officer, slowly,
s'my father told me that he only real
lied Monsieur Theirs popularity when
he saw his portrait in gingerbread In
all the booths at the fair on the Place
du Trone; and have not noticed your
portrait in this way, Monsieur lie Presi-
dent"
| Monsieur Faure thought a minute,
and then he said, very gravely: "That's

of that.

Cut the bread In even slices. about

INFLUENCE OF YALE COLLEGE.
How the Great University Helped t.
Shape Our Destinies.

How the Great University Helped to
Shape Our Destinies.
The centenary Of the establishment
of Yale was celebrated at the time that
Whitney was beginning his expert
ments and investigation that gave to
the world his cotton gin, changing the
civilization of the South, making
slavery its corner stone, a civilization
that grew until at last it matched it's
strength with the inconsistent civiliza
ton Of the North, involving in that
struggle the whole question of the per-
manency Of slavery and of the Union.
Whitney's cotton gin had been per-
fected when Yale celebrated its CEN
tenary, but it was not until three or
four years after this apparatus had
been put in operation in the South that
it's epoch making influence was discov-
cred. Eleven years after Whitneys
graduation the United States was pro-
ducing, because of his cotton gin,
twenty-five times more cotton than
before the invention of his machine.
Macaulay asserted Of Whitney's in
vention that it did more for the power
and progress of the United States than
Peter the Great did for Russia
1t was about the time that Whitney,
trained at Yale, had perfected and put
into operation an apparatus that
changed civilization that Noah Web
ster was at work upon the first of his
attempts to make permanent and ac-
curate the use Of the English language
in the United States. He was grad
uated at Yale fourteen years before
Whitney, or seventy-seven years after
the foundation Of the college. He pub
lished ten years later his speller, prob
ably unmatched in its sales and in its
reading BY any work put into print,
excepting the Bible.

ToASrAs 1T SHOULD BE.

Sweet, Lighf-REsad.
Bread is toasted to take o1t-she, ,mois-
ture as well as to give it better favor.
Toasting converts the insoluble starch
in bread into soluble substance called
dextrine, which can be perfectly mois-
tened with the saliva and easily digest
ed. Bread toasted until dry and brown
agrees better with weak stomachs than
any other kind of bread and sensitive
stomach will frequently digest good
toast when it will digest no other
article Of food. Hence toast properly
made can be judiciously and safely
used as an article Of diet for invalids,
at all times, without the least fear of
it's proving injurious or producing dis.
comfort. But if the slices of bread to
be toasted are thick and are carelessly
held before or over a blazing fire the

SOLDIERS LOVE TOBACCO.
Men Who Have Lighted Pipes Durin,
Bloody Battles.

Men Who Have Lighted Pipes During
Bloody Battles.
Most of the distinguished officers of
the world hold that whatever comforts
the soldier on active service may be de-
prived Of he should on no account be
stinted in the matter of tobacco, and
in the gravest of histories relating to
the Franco-Prussian war it is stated
that the total want of even tobacco to
make cigarettes Of among the French
troops on many occasions did not a lit
tie to dispirit them.
Private Jones, who obtained the Vic
toria Cross at Rorke's Drift, said that
in the very thick Of the fight several
comrades lighted their pipes with
blazing fragments of wood from the
wooden hospital which had been fired
by the Zulus, and at Majuba Hill one
of the men was found dead with the
stump Of cigar between his clinched
teeth. Amid the awful carnage of the
Russo-Turkish war Turks horribly
mangled were frequently found smok-
ing in the midst of their agony and ut
tering no sound of complaint.
Mr.. Archibald Forbes, the great war
correspondent, has told how before
Metz. in the Franco-Prussian war, a
soldier terribly wounded craved but
one relief-a cigar-and he observed
soldiers firing away at close quarters,
pipe in mouth. Gen. Won Bentheim,
observing a sight like this, asked one
of the men for a light and himself
coolly lighted his own cigar and then
led his men on. Another war CORE
spondent, belonging to one Of our great
daily papers. tells that he saw at Saar-
brucken a large party of Brunswick
Hussars gallop into the thick of the
fray with cigars in their mouths, and
this in the face of solid mass of
Frech troops and hail Of bullets

The nut-cracking industry Of st.
Louis gives employment to over fifteen
hundred people. The nut-crackers are
driven by electricity, each nut being
fed individually into the crusher. After
the shells are cracked the nuts are win
moved by an air blast and the meat is
picked from the crushed shells by
hand.
A new and highly interesting method
of obtaining the X-rays is described by
NJ. Nodon. He claims that, if ordinary
light falls upon an electrified alumni
nium plate, preferably upon one cleo
trified negatively, the light penetrates
the plate (the thickness Of which is not
stated and issues from the other side
in the form of X-rays.
The postal savings-bank building in
Amsterdam, Holland, is being con-
structed by the ''Monier system" new
method of construction. steel frame
work, like a bird-cage in appearance, is
enveloped in Portland cement, which
prevents the steel from rusting, While
the cement itself is rendered elastic.
The steel acts entirely in tension and
the concrete in pressure. This con-
struction is said to be strong, freproof
and waterproof, and to be growing in
favor in Europe for government build
ings and factories.
What man has learned by d.nt of
thought and experiment some OF the
lower animals appear to know through
instinct. An instance is furnished by
the spiral swimming" Of certain Or
ganisms, such as the spherical-shaped
volvox and several elongated fnfuusor1-
ans. AS they revolve about the axis of
progression as does projectile tired
from a rified gun, the consequence Is,
as DR.. H. S. Jennings points out, that
they are able to travel in straight
line, as they could not do otherwise,
the revolution compensating with abso-
lutte precision for any tendency to devi-
ate from a straight course. Without
such a device many of these minute
creatures would simply describe circles,
making no forward progress.
Although every housekeeper is pain
fully aware of the tendency of silver
ware to part with its brilliance and be.
come tarnished when exposed to ordi'
nary atmospheric influences, many
probably do not know that the cause
of the furnishing is the action of sui
phur in the air. Unless frequently
cleaned, the surface of silver will be
come black in the course of a few
months. The best way to keep silver
bright, without the necessity Of clean
ing, is said to be to coat the surface
with thin solution of collodion var
nish diluted with spirits of wine. Aftel
being applied with soft brush the
spirit evaporates, leaving thin, glossy
transparent film on the polished sur
face Warm water removes the var
nsh. Tarnished silver may be restored
by careful rubbing with soft clotl
wet with dilute solution of potassium
cyanide-one ounce to a quart Of waite
followed by rinsing.

Girls Must Be Good Housekeepers to
Make Home Happy.
A girl should marry when she is ca
pable of understanding and fulfilling
the duties of true wife and thorough
housekeeper, and never before. No
matter how old she may be, if she is
not capable Of managing a house in
every department Of it she is not old
enough to get married. No matter how
plain the home may be, if it is neatly
kept and the meals (no matter how SIM
ple) served from shining dishes and
clean table linen, the husband will
leave his home with loving words and
thoughts and look ahead with eager
ness to the time when he can return.
Let girl play the piano and acquire
every other accomplishment within her
power, the more the better, for each
one will be that much more power to
be used in making home happy. AT
the same time, if she cannot go into
the kitchen, If necessary, and prepare
good meal, and serve it after it Is
prepared, she had better defer her mar.
riage until she learns. If girls would
thoroughly fit themselves before they
marry, there would be fewer discon.
