THE BRIDES LOAF.
troduced When the Time
Comes for Cutting 1t.

At a recent home wedding the brides
loaf was on a small table by itself; little
ribbon streamers fellal around thetable
from under the cake and the white icing
was deliberately decorated. After the
collation. was served the bride, taking a
silverhandled knife tied with narrow
white ribbons, made a pretty little cere-
mony of the cutting of the cake, says the
New York Post. She outlined first a cir
Gle in the center and took out the cylin-
drical piece. This was put aside on a
separate plate on which was a lace paper
mat to receive it. The rest of the cake
was sliced by the bride and piled on six
plates which were passed to the guests
BY the bridesmaids. The heart Of the
loaf" first taken out, was cut into six
round slices-the icing first cut OF and
divided in six portions that one might
20 with each piece-which were served
BY the bride herself to her maids. In
the center piece each wrapped in tissue
paper to prevent any danger Of swallow
ing, were a gold thimble, wedding ring,
and coin carrying their respective for
tunes of spinsterhood, a quick marriage,
and wealth to the three of the six to
whom they should fall. Care was taken
In making the. loaf to distribute the three
articles as the batter was poured In the
nan. as otherwise the complication Of
one bridesmaid getting two or even three
of them might arise. 1t is not necessary
that these golden fayors shall go into
the cake. The idea of the loaf on the
table by itself decorated with white rib
bons and white notices is new and the
arrangement less expensive than having
the cake put up in the conventional way
in little boxes for the guests to carry
away. The bride, too, as she goes
through the cake-cutting ceremony.
makes a pretty and attractive picture.

goat, but on closer observation this
seeming resemblance is not So appar-
ent.
The black-necked Valaisan of Of me-
dunn size, her height at the withers
being 70 or 80 centimeters. She attains
her full maturity only at the age Of
four or five years. The weight of a male
at that age, however, is then consider
ably above the average. Both the male
and female animal carry a dense cover
ing of hair, which enables them to re-
sist the cold admirably. The hair on the
back of a full-grown buck grows to the
length of sc centimeters, and a large
tuft falls down owe forehead and eyes.
The beard is exceptionally long and
strong, reaching often down to the
claws. The goat is compact and well
built; her head is short, forehead and
mouth are broad, her ears light, hereyes
lively and intelligent. In the buck they
even seem to suggest a certain degree Of
pride.
The loins r broad, back straight,
the Group gently sloping and well de-
veloped, while the thighs are very mus
cular and the position Of the legs good.
The neck is short and well coupled with
the shoulders. The udders are of me-
dunn size, but we'll built and provided
with even teats.
Created for life in the high Alps, this
breed is indisputably one of the strong
est and ~healthiest, on which account its
great power Of endurance has won it the
name Of glacier goat" They will go
a distance of several leagues to seek
their food and return in the evening to
their stables, but ordinarily they spend
their nights in the free air.

institution, now nearly five hundred
years old.
DR., Chalmers has been four years
abroad for study, and his wife also was
educated in the best universities Of
this country and in Europe. 1t is said

ing a great deal without any blowing
of trumpets.
When doctor Chalmers went abroad
with his family in the spring OF 1897
he left an educational position paying
$4,000 and on returning TO this coun-
try, two years later, no educational
field presenting itself, he accepted the
pastOrate OF little church in Toledo,
Ohio. From small beginnings this
church under his charge grew to be
the largest in that city The same
phenominal success has followed him
in his work at Elgin, where the mem
bership has more than doubled since
he assumed charge, now mum bering
upwards Of 1900 memb bers.
Though eminently successful as a
clergyman, DR.. Chalmers has not
been a preacher from choice, his am
bitigns rather leading him into educa-
tional work Even in the pulpit he is
a teacher rather than preacher and
to his natural tact in keeping all
OF his subordinates at work his sue
cess, both as a teacher and a. a
preacher, is largely due. His salary at
Elgin is 5000 year, and it may be
thought singular that he would give
up such place for position at the
head Of an educational institution
paying only $4,000 year. True, it
will be sacrifice, financially, but DR..
Chalmers is man who does not es-
innate life and its work wholly by The
dollar and cent standard. His am
bition leads him TO the educational
field rather than the ministry, and it
is due to this fact that the regents Of
education have been able to secure
him as the executive head Of the State
Agricultural College, A college or
university presidency has been the
ambition Of his life and therefore he
does not feel that he is making sac
rifice ia this instance.

DIR. James Chalmers, who has been
elected by the regents OF education as

College, of South Dakota, has attained
70 considerable eminence, both as an
educator and a clergyman. lie Is OF
Scotch descent and was born In Can
ada in 1859 being a relative OF the
great DR.. Thomas Chalmers, who left
an impress upon Edinburgh greater
than that Of any man except John
Knox: and the present Dr' Chalmers
seems to be following closely after ms
renowned relative in scholarship ana
in work along educational lines. His
early life was largely passed in the
state of Michigan where he took an
active part in educational work
Dr. Chalmers is al author and ed
itor of numerous standard works Ia
literature and education, among which
are editions OF the English classics.
He took the degrees Of A. b and Ph.

TO the degree Of NJ, A. with honors at
St Andrews University, Scotland
the Oxford of that country-and re-
ceiyed the honorary degree OF L. L. ID.
from Western Michigan College.
Wheaton College, Of Illinois, has since
conferred upon him the degree or
D. d.
Since receiving his doctors degree
in 1899, he has for the most part been
engaged in educational work, though
at present he is pastor Of the First
Congregational church, OF Elgin, ILL.,,
which enjoys the distinction of being
the largest Congregational church In
the United States outside OF Brook

The explosion is the fourth since the
establishment of the works in 1889.
The press mill is where the powder is
pressed, caked and placed into kegs.
The three men killed and the two fatal
ly hurt were in this room at the time.
One of the men, it is stated, caused the
explosion by carelessly pounding one
of the kegs. The bodies Of two of the
victims were torn into fragments and
scattered to the winds, and the press
mill, containing $50 kegs of powder,
was completely destroyed. The finan-
cial loss will amount to about $4,000.
