Remember the Baker.

At the court of assizes in Venice,
when sentence of death is about to be
passed, man clothed in long black
robe enters the court, and advancing
to the bench bows profoundly to the
judges. saying, Remember the baker!''
Then he bows again and retires. Here
is the explanation Of the custom:
Three centuries ago baker was exc.
cuted at Venice for q crime OF which
he was not guilty. When his limo
cence was fully proved, the judges who
condemned him invested a sum OF
money, the interest on which serves to
keep a lamp perpetually lighted in the
palace of the doges, this being called
the lamp of expiation." In addition,
their fatal mistake has for 300 years
been held up as warning to their sue
cessors on the bench when they are
about to infiict the extreme penalty of
the law,

Arabian CoMee.

l The Arabian coffee maker, having
prepared his fire Of charcoal and placed
near 1t huge pot containing water,
takes few handfuls of green coffee
berries, carefully culls out ali imperfect
berries and foreign substances and
then places the best of the berries in an
iron ladle held over the fire. The ber-
ries- are permitted to roast until they
begin to smoke and are then. while still
sancharred, placed in small mortar
and carefully brayed with a pestle
closely fitting the cup of the mortar.
The berries are not, however, reduced
to dust, While this process has been
going on, small pot has been half
filled with tepid water from the large
pot and placed over the fire. When the
water in the small pot has begun TO
boil, the broken coffee berries are
thrown in. and the boiling is permitted
to go on for q short time, the decoction
being stirred with spoon when it
shows signs of boiling over. The coffee
is then served in small cups without
cream or sugar.

q There is nothing to make one realize

Journey up the Nile when the inunda-
tion is just over. You lounge on the
deck Of your dahabieh and drink in
geography almost without knowing it.
The voyage forms a perfect introduc-
ton to the study OF mudoiogy and sug-
gests to the observant mind (meaning

nothing else on earth that know Of
can suggest it,, for in Egypt you get
your phenomenon isolated. as it were,

You have no rainfall to bother you,
no local streams, no complex denuda-
ton. The Nile does it all, and the Nile
does everything. On either hand
stretches away the bare desert, rising
up in gray, rocky hills. Down the
midst runs the one long line of allu-
vial eoil-in other words, Nile mud
which alone allows cultivation and life
In that rainless district. The country
bases itself absolutely on mud. The
crops are raised on it. the houses and
villages are built of it, the land is
manured with it, the very air is full

the red pottery of Assiout is Nile mud

Applying Epathets.

A Virginia statesman in Washington
has two boys. about five and six years
old respectively. who are not such ''an-
gel children that they do not scrap
occasionally. The family health is
discussed good deal by the parents
in the presence of the youngsters. and
the two evils held to be the very worst
that can be feared are microbes and
drafts. The other morning the boys
got into wrangle.
"Oh, you're a microbe,' hissed the
elder in his anger.
That dreadful epithet had never been
applied to the other before. and for a
moment he was stunned by the insult
He tried to come back at his brother,
but at first he was at loss what 10
say. ''You-you-you're another" he
blurted out at last and then caught
himself mo. you amt, either; you
are a draft"' he exclaimed, and the

CaDital and IaI.or

The trouble between capital and Ia
Dor is just in proportion to the igno-

rance Of the employed. The more in
telligent the employer the better and
the more intelligent the employed the
better. 1t is never education, it is never
knowledge, that produces collision. 1t
is always ignorance on the part of one
or the other OF the two forces. Speak

able, | make this statement. Capital ia
ignorant Of the necessities and the just
