DARING AMERICANS FATE.

The Francois contains the follow
ing story of daring American tour
list in the French metropolis: CIVIC
tor Evandale, an American about
forty years Of age, declared at a
cafe table that he had lived for ten
years in the widest regions of west
ern United States and had never
carried a weapon and was never
afraid. Several Frenchmen who
were present told him that Paris was
more dangerous. They asserted that
he could not 60 from Grenelle to
Montrogue, for example, after 10
o'clock at night without being killed
unless he wore laborers' clothes.
Evandale left the cafe after a time
without reverting to the converse
ton about dangerous localities.
Next morning his companions Of
the night before were Mortified to
read of the discovery of Evandale's
body in the glacis of the fortifica-
lions near the Maison Blanche. 1t
is supposed he must have actually
attempted to walk from Grenelle to
Montague Immediately after leav-
ing his friends. Evidently he was
attacked from behind. Tight around
his neck was found a. thin leather
thong which had been used to stran-
gle him. His pockets were rif1ed
and his shoes and coat removed"

Editor of the Age:
The question is frequently asked,

to the above have been given, but

matters leading feature, era too

How to Put tho Attractive Glaze on
Rolls and Loaves.

How to Put the Attractive Glaze on
Rolls and Loaves.
The glaze on Vienna rolls and
bread is one of the reasons that this
delicious breadstuff is SO popular.
A glaze on other breads also has
frequently been desired. Accord
ing to the statements of an author
fly on breadmaking, this glazed sur
face effect can only be produced by
the admission of steam into the
oven while baking. 1t is done this
way: Place an open pan of water in
the oven and let it heat long enough
to give off sufficient steam to sat-
urate the air in the oven. When
the loaves are put in, they should
be quite cool, and owing to their
goodness a momentary condensation
of steam is effected over the whole
surface of the loaf. The steam COM
ing in contact with the loaf renders
soluble the starch on the outside
surface, and as the water dries Oft
leaves a soluble starch, part Of
which has been converted into dex-
trim. This also serves the purpose
of keeping the interior of the loaf
moist by preventing the rapid evap-
standardization Magazine.

For the Amateur Laundress.

The woman who prefers to laun-
der her own handkerchiefs and lace
fixings rather than to trust to the
vagaries of the average laundress or
laundryman can now perform the
task with appropriately sized ma
chinery at least so far as the wiring
ing Of the dainty articles is con-
cerned. "A small wringer has just
appeared, and at first glance it sug-
gests toy. A saleswoman when
asked if the miniature contriyance
were not a useful sort of plaything
replied Indignantly: "No, indeed,
madam. That is a wringer for
handkerchiefs and any other little
articles you like. How do you ad-
just it? Why, it will fit a little
washtub, and you can get that easy
enough" This latest convenience
for the amateur laundress costs q

Soldiers as Automatons.

To convert man physically into

know, no difficult task. Long dis

Soldiers, again, afford instances.
During the last army maneuvers OF

was specially trained for long dis
lance marching. After travelling a
prodigious number of miles they
were commanded to halt and fire,
says Cassell's Magazine. Not one
man could bring his rifle to his
shoulder and take aim. Yet at the
word "March !" all Of them, totter-
ing and unsteady as they were, start
ed promptly to limp on again. They
could not perform fresh action,
but their marching had become au-
tomato.

A Life Saving Elephant Who Caught

A Life Saving Elephant Who Caught
Geld and Died.
A few years ago two children were
bathing in the sea at little town
on the coast of France when sud-
denly for some reason or other they
were carried out of their depth. In
a few moments their cries as they
struggled in the deep water aroused
attention, but before any one could
reach them they were rescued in an
altogether unexpected manner.
An immense elephant belonging
to travelling circus happened to
have been led down to the sea that
morning to battle, and as he was en-
joying his bath close at hand he
heard the cries of the children.
Plunging through the water toward
them, he lifted them very gently,
one at a time, and carried them to a
place Of safety.
This elephant, whose name was
Gus, recently died at Hereford from
the effects of severe cold. He had
reached great age and was said to
be $50 years old.-Chatterbox.

disguised, for stove is a stove. To
be sure, we don't build fires in a

it when touching it, and we want to
be free to open the top whenever we
feel like it. Why not keep it just a
musical instrument and not put
anything on it? The simple, bare

Hint to Coal Consumers.

A Swedish professor, Svend Ar
rhenius, has evolved a new theory
of the extinction of the human race.
He holds that the combustion OF
coal by civilized man is gradually
warming the atmosphere SO that in
the course of a few cycles Of 10000
years the earth will be baked in a
temperature close to the boiling
point. He bases his theory on the
accumulation of carbonic acid in the
atmosphere, which acts as glass in
concentrating and refracting the
heat of the sun.
