Bread Mixed with sea-water

The fashionable bakers window con-
tanned only sheaf of wheat, loaf and
a bouquet of arbutus. The interior of
his shop resembled parlor The bread
was all concealed. THE latest fad in
my business" said the man, "is bread
made with sea water, instead of with
fresh water. This bread is good for
dyspepsia. 1t has a saltier taste than
we are accustomed to, but is very
palatable In fact, he who likes salty
things is apt to like it better than the
other kind of bread. A physician asked
me about three months ago to make
some of this bread for his patients. At
first l made six loaves a day, but now
l make 80. My sea water comes up to
me from Atlantic City three times a
week. The dyspeptics who buy the
bread say it is the only kind they can
eat fresh without discomfort They say,
too, that it has a medicinal effect on
them; that they have been better since
they took it p.'-Philadelphia Record.

THE TORNADO.

Clouds low. low hung,
And wild birds flung,
ike leaves on the gust, go by;
And dash of rain
Strikes the window pane
like tears from the heavy sky.
Tall trees wind-blown
Writhe round and groan,
strike back at the blast, and bend
In a tortured toss
Till their branches cross,
And their tops with the grasses blend.
From caverns far
Where northwinds are
The god of the storm comes forth:
On his far-flung breath
Rides shrieking death.
And its mantle Is over earth
Huge pillows rise
Where the ocean lies
Till the heavens are washed in brine !?
Mems souls go out
In the tempest's rout
And wild beasts crouch and whine
Man, who forgot
In his pursuit hot
IF pleasure, golden shod,
With plea for peace
And storms swift cease
Creeps back to an outraged God!

to see horse races know nothing about

of Robert Bonner's life asking the
sturdy old gentleman if any horse

Turner. who until November 30 was a
prisoner in the jail. charged with grand
larceny. as being one OF the men who
worked" him and says he does not know
the name OF the other prisoner.
Turner'S release from Jail was effected
through pathetic appeal by his i4-year-
old daughter on Thanksgiving Day in q
letter to Judge Moore. Arrangements were
made for his parole and he was released
on November 30.
The scheme by which sepitowski was
neeced of his money was nearly as clever
as it was daring. Little regard for conse-
quences seemed to have been entertained
by the confidence men, who must have
known that it would only be short time
before they would be found out.
10 Jailer Dawson Sepitowski explained
the confidence game yesterday. after he
had applied to the chief guard for 10 cents
and was told that the guard had none Of
his money. Sepitowski and Turner were
