New materials FOR Bread.

Some of the many materials used for
bread have been brought to notice by
M. Paul Combes. Beans, peas and
other legnminouse seeds, as well as
maize and other vegetable substances,
require mixing with wheat or rye, or
the bread is liable to be soggy, indigest-
ible, or otherwise of poor quality.
Mashed potatoes mixed with wheat or
maize flour give palatable bread, which,
however, attracts moisture. Rice flour
makes fine yellow bread, agreeable
both to sight and taste, and the chest
nut bread that forms the chief diet of
the Corsican mountaineers is healthful,
agreeable, digestible and keeps Is days
or longer. Bread has been made from
acorns, people in France having been
reduced to the necessity in time of
scarcity. Moses, dried and powdered,
are still esteemed for bread by Nor
wegians; and other substances that
have been used-most of them yielding
little nutrition without the addition of
cereal f1our-include the roots of bry-
onia, colchicum, iris, sepentaria, man
dragora and heIlebore and the leaves
of aconite, etc.-Ex.

EARTHQUAKES Predicted.

DR.. Cancani, after careful study OF
Italian earthquakes, finds that all such
disturbances strong enough to damage
buildings, even to slight extent, are
invariably preceded as well as followed
by minor shocks. In other words, an
earthquake is not an isolated phenome-
non, but is one of series of disturb
ances. When the depth Of the focus of
disturbances is small the tremors Ia" !

of great depth possibly several years.
Prof. Omori in Japan has arrived at
similar conclusions about minor shocks
connected with strong earthquakes.-

At the beginning of the sixteenth

as to be hired by the year for noble
mems houses, and even during the
reign of Elizabeth was very costly

the Shrew," alludes to this as one Of
the important articles of housekeeping
in his city mansion. Before the inven-

he attributes the Book of Ecclesiastes
to Solomon, he has missed the target
entirely.
We need not go away from the
book itself to prove that Solomon never
wrote it. Turning to the first chapter
of Ecclesiastes, and the 18th verse, we
find these words: II the preacher was
king over Israel in Jerusalem" The
original Greek, from which this was
first translated, by virtue of peculiar
ity of said language reveals to us this
fact: The Greek has tense not found
in any other language-known as the
Aorist Tense. 1t denotes state of be-
ing having existed at one time, but at
the present time having ceased to exist.
The verb "was" contained in said 18th
verse in the original Greek is in the
aorist tense, showing us that 81" the
author of Ecclesiasties, was at one
time "king over Israel in Jerusalem"
but at the time of his writing had
ceased so to be.
1t is well known fact that Solomon
was king over Israel in Jerusalem
from the time he was crowned king
until his death without period of ces-
satlon. Solomon, therefore, could
never have written, II, the preacher,
was ii. e., was at one time, but now
have ceased to be) king over Jerusalem"
If I have proven an alibi, 1 move
that the accused be forthwith dis
charged. E. E. E.

brought about the civilization of the
world.
Only man with 2x4 intellect, and
1Ox1Ox10 organ of self-esteem, and a
bump of credulity enormously deve!-
oped, ever imagines whole civilized
countries could be wiped from the face
of the earth without causing retar-
dation of the progress of the world.
Patriotism is sentiment that should
be nurtured in every man, woman and
child of every country under the sun. Z
But let the ideal of our patriotism be
high. The lower forms of patriotism
that manifest themselves in boasting,
in staggering, in-chip-on-the-shoulder
antics; that find expression in such
lines of narrOw-minded egoism as
"Breathes there a man with soul SO
dead" ETC., and other grandiloquent
outbursts of paroxysmal patriotic-effer-
vescence, are conducive to the welfare
of savages only. It's the only kind of
patriotism the savage is capable of
comprehending. Civilized man has alb
solutely no use for such forms of patriot
ism: they are hindrance to him in
his onward march to higher and nobler
regions of thought and feeling. And
the man who boasts of his country and
his people simply because it is HIS
country, and HIS people, should pro-
claim himself a savage, or forever be
silent when patriotism is the theme
discussed
The singing of patriotic songs is to
be commended when such songs do
not exaggerate the greatness of our
country, and the virtues of our people.
But the persons who sings patriotic airs
have no right on that account to parade
as superior patriots. Once upon time
man sang, "My country 'tis of thee"
at 10 o'clock in the morning, and at 2
o'clock in the afternoon he killed his
neighbor, and ran away with his neigh
boris wife. This happened in Florida).
Neither act was patriotic, because not
promotive of the country's good. Let
us have less boasting, less noise, and
more patriotism. 5599.

System and Results.

IN THE commercial world it has
been demonstrated that nothing
/ brings quicker results than system.
A good system is so closely fol-
lowed by results that the business man
of today looks with amazement at the
business methods Of twenty years ago,
which wereso sllpshod ana careless COM
pared with the systemized manner of
doing things today.
1t is system in the Office, in the fac
tory, the warehouse and on the farm,
and this system has much to do with
the prosperity and commercial ad-
vancement of this country. An office
properly equipped with an up-to-date
system of filing, accounting, ETC., can
be operated with one-half the force re-
quired to do the same work with old
time methods. In the factory cost
systems, installed for the purpose
Of giving the actual cost of every piece
of work turned out, have revolution
lied prices. An Eastern factory estab-
lished fifty years ago, recently adopted
a cost system and found that for fifty.
years they had been selling an article
to the trade at price much less than
the cost of the labor, let alone the ma
terial used. They had of course sold
other articles at too great profit and
of late years their trade had been drop
ping away, and it was only after re-
adjustment of prices that they regain
ed their old time place at the head of
their particular line.
Economy is the watchword in modern
business, and it is only by system that
economy can be exercised in every de-
partment. 1t is not unusual for q con-
Germ to call in system expert to sug-
gest to them any change or betterment
in their system which will save money
and lower the cost of production.
But the most elaborate system falls
to the ground unless the employees do
their work, and here is where the great
est question IN the business world
comes ,in-that of labor. Material,
rent, insurance, taxes and freight can
be accurately figured out and divided
pro rata as part of each piece of work;

The Poet.
A POET is described as an imagi-
~ native writer and thinker, and
the emanations of his senti-

4 Gu0 6mdndlIOuS OI MS S6uCl-
mental mind are defined by
Webster as "a metrical composition
whose language is imaginative or i'm
passioned." My own impression of a
poet has always been that he was a
species of human being known as a
rhymster of little nothings, man who
has no good reason for living in this
age of cold hard facts, the editors bogie
man and one who should be taxed the
same as any public nuisance
The poet will probably say that am
rude, and his admirers will say that 1
lack appreciation of things that are
beautiful. If this means failure to
appreciate all the rot that is written Of
the beautiful snow, the silvery moon,
lovely maidens and starry skies-why
then must plead guilty to the charge.
No man who has been of any practi-
cal use to the world ever made prac-
tice of writing poetry, excepting per-
haps when he was in love, and then no
man is in responsible state or ac-
countable for his actions. This fact
has led one to believe that all poets are
daffy. Few people will maintain that
any poet is profound thinker or that
poets ever WELD, either through their
effusions or personality, force that
is of any benefit to humanity. We
have what are called great poets, but
even among the greatest I fail to see
where any of them, with all their gush-
ing nonsense, have ever inspired the
world.
Reading tho lives Of great-uen who
have done things is always an in
spiration, but to read the life ola poet
is to learn only of life of comparative
idIeness. We might wade through
forty stanzas of his work only to re-
alize in the end that the whole thing is
made up of such stuff as,
"Under the starry sky so pale and blue
Sat lovesick youth and woman true"
Writers of prose very often exercise
an influence for great good, but when
even Tennyson in number of stanzas
simply makes the cold rivulet say fare
we'll to the sea, we learn nothing. We
simply waste our time. Poets may
be all right in madhouse, and that's
where they belong, for none of them
have mind for anything of a practical
nature and are of no use to world of
push and energy. They are men of
moods just the same as an ordinary
lunatic and therefore should not be
left at large where they can prey on
the sentimental suckers and lovesick
youths who buy their work.
Their thoughts of one day are never
those of another and 1 have yet to
hear of poet who ever suggested an
original or even q coherent scheme
that would in any way better the world.
Read the productions OF the famous
and witty author of Kilograms or the
more serious work of Pendennis and
we are entertained and instructed, but
tackle book of poems and we are
swallowing barrel of hogwash.
The writing of poetry should be left
to the gentler sex. 1t is more in their
line, bpt there is no excuse for man
writing poetry unless it is the only
thing he can do, and then he ought to
be sent to a manual training school.

Patriotism.

M of July is over, and the rever-
bations of exploding fireworks
and over-enthusiastic, not to
say blatant, patriots, have ceased to
impinge our ears; now that we, let us
hope, have recovered our mental bal
ance, and can look at things without
bias, and deal fairly with all men and
nations, let us put on our thinking caps,
and inquire into the true nature of
patriotism.
Patriotism is love of country. He
who loves his country best is the great
est patriot. To love is to be affection
ate, to have good will toward the OBJ
ject beloved. He is the best type of
lover who finds his weIl-being in the
well-being of the thing or object be-
loved. Hence it seems the person who
labors to the utmost to further the we'll
being of his nation is true patriot.
A nation, in order to be truly great,
must be progressive. Progress means
life; rigidity means stagnation; retro
gression means conscious or uncon-
scious gliding into extinction-death.
Taking it for granted that we all con-
slider the ethical progress of nation of
greater importance than the material
progress, it follows that he who labors
to make his people righteous is
higher type of patriot than he who la
bors to make his people rich. And
since it is easier to make noise than
to push q heavily loaded wagon up
hiIl-nations are heavily loaded, and
progress is uphill work; hence the sim
ile-we conclude that thousand So
called patriots who stand at the street
corners, or on the house tops and shout:
"We are the people;" "We can lick
creation;" "We Invented everything;"
"We occupy the exact center of the
universe;" "We are the whole cheese;"
awe are TIP etc. ETC., are of less value.
considered from the standpoint of true
patriotism, than one man who puts his
shoulder to the wheel, and not consider
ring whether he may soil his new
blouse and overalls or not, labors to
perform his duty in the light of his own
conscience.
The true patriot seldom proclaims
his own or his country's goodness or
greatness. He knows that If there is
anything either good or great in him.
self or his country, his neighbors will
not be long to discover it, and in time
will give full credit for whatsoever he,
or his country, has worthily done.
The true patriot never belittles
other nations. Whatsoever of good he
finds among them he will adopt and
assimilate; whatsoever of evil he finds
among them he will keep far from him.
He realizes that as he must find his
own welfare in the welfare of his ma
tion, so his nation must find its welfare
in the welfare of the sisterhood Tor
Brotherhood p Of nations. He realizes
that his country, or any other country,
cannot stand by itself without doing
hurt to itself: interdependent acts be-.
tween individuals and nations have
