In truth, everything is done to make the

by an irrepressible youngster of recent
fiction have been a boon to two-year-olds,
who hitherto were confined to the ignominy
of frocks. The skirt-like tail of the coat
makes the get-up sufficiently babyish for
looks, and the tiny Knockers underneath

YEAST USED BY ANCIENTS.
Afioat in the Air and
Utilized.

The yeast employed by the ancients
in making bread was probably of the
same kind as the Israelites of the days
of the great Pharaoh the oppressor
used, calling it Heaven" This was
what is known nowadays as wild
yeast, its germs or spores being afloat
everywhere in the air.
A bit of dough was preserved out of
each batch prepared for the ovens and
when this was added to the next dough
the yeast contained in it quickly spread
through the whole, only a little being
required to heaven the whole lump"
But when the people of Israel were
wandering in the wilderness they did
not always have yeast handy, and so
were obliged to eat unleavened bread.
The best examples of old Roman
bread have been found at Pompeii. a.
town that was destroyed by an erup-
ton of Vesuvius in the year 70 A. D.
Forty-eight loaves were dug out of one
bakeshop. These specimens markedly
resembled those found in the Egyptian
tombs and were originally composed of
ground barley.
The ancient cliff jewellers of the
southwest raised Indian corn and made
their bread of it. Once in awhile a
loaf of it is discovered in one of their
deserted houses, and speculation is
naturally INDUCED as to the degree Of
its antiquity. Perhaps it is 500 or 500
years old. In that extremely dry CHI
mate it has not decayed

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.
In Any Capacity in Which You See
Him He Is Worth
Knowing.

Describing the American soldier OF
to-day, Gen. Charles. King, says in the
World To-day: Afoot or on horseback,
regular or volunteer, as you see him
to-day, our man behind the gun" is a
man worth the knowing. Take him all
in all, and physically sounder and
morally straighter soldier doesn't live
or dwell on the face of the globe. Like
English Tommy Atkins" as well as
the sailor Jackies of Anglo-Saxon
blood, he has his faults and limitations
He comes higher than do the rankers
of other lands, but he fights harder
With fewer numbers he accomplishes
great results.
He has patience illimitable in face OF
a turbulent mob of his own people, but
he pulls trigger quick, sudden and sure
when he gets the word. He Is the bug
bear of demagogue orators before an
election, but the sure defense of society
at any time. He presided over Chi
cago's early infancy, and thrice since
the great civil war has he come with
fixed bayonets to stand between her and
anarchy.
He is proud of his flag and his country
He is stout hearted, clean limbed, law
abiding, self-respecting as a rule. He
wants to be held and hailed as a man
not boy. He devotes reasonable time
and thought to his drill, but he delights
in healthful, hearty, outdoor sports,
baseball. football and polo preferred
He sometimes Sights the little nice
ties of military carriage and courtesies
but he will cheerfully submit to the
sternest discipline, the hardest priva-
lions, the heaviest trials when he knows
the need; and finally, when it comes
to fighting he will charge with finer fury
and enthusiasm or hold his ground with
more grim, logged tenacity, and all the
time shoot with greater skill and pre-
cision than any other man-at-arms OF
all the Wanted legions of Europe.
His one great wish seems to be that
the people he so loyalty serves might
know him as he is-a man to depend
IN in fair weather or foul soldier to
be proud of at all times.

HOUSING POOR GERMANS.
Various Cities Erect Night Asylums
in Which 500 Societies Are
Interested.

Ihe report of the Verein ReichS- Woh-
nungsgesets for 1908 and the first part
OF 1904 has just appeared, giving sum-
mary OF the efforts that are being made
to provide suitable homes for the poorer
Worklngmen of the German empire
The work that is being done in this d.
rectlon in many German cities, such as
Berlin, Ulm, Munich and others, has
peen described at length in Public
opinion, but the report of the society
mentioned above gives a brief birds
eye view OF the whole situation. There
are IN Germany 500 societies formed for
the purpose of constructing houses for
the poor. In the last Years numerous
associations of employees have been
formed, the one in Berlin, for example,
numbering 8,400 members, and having
53l houses constructed and 418 in course
OF construction. Societies are also be-
ing formed for the purpose of erecting
colony houses, among which the most
important is the one at Neidenburg, in
Prussia. The insurance companies to a
large extent provide the funds for the
building operations Various communi-
ties nave constructed houses either for
Workmen in general or for the employees
of the city, but this plan does not seem
to nave been sufficiently developed or
to be reconcilable with individual mi
tlatlVe. Many night asylums for the
poor have been erected by various
cities. FrankfOrt-on-the-M is build
ing home for widows and orphans and
many cities are planning for the erec-
ton of habitations in common.
In many cases the land on which the
homes are built is public property, the
surface rights having been ceded to the
building associations Such use is
made OF certain crown lands of Prus-
STA by the Berlin union of employees and
of imperial lands at Wilhelmshaven,
where a garden city has been erected
The municipalities of Charlottenburg
and Frankfort have granted similar priv
lllges. The amount of public land avail
able for this purpose has been increased
In many cities by the levying of direct
tax, the proceeds of which are to be de-
voted to the purchase of land. In some
places tax has beer levied on the un-
earned increment The general ques-
ton of legislation for workingmen's
dwellings is being agitated by the Verein
Reichs- Wahnungsgesets.

1t is certainly pleasing to the
congregation who worship at the
Congregational church to see the
revival of interest in that church
since the arrival of the new pastor,
Rev. Fred Staff. The attendance at
the services is constantly increasing
as result of the deep interest in
Mr.. Statf'S sermons. MI. Staff is
personally very popular and his
sermons are plain, matter of fact,
heart to heart talks, which appeal
to everyone, HIS sermon Christmas
morning on the birth and life of
Christ was simplicity itself and an
exempt tication of the true Christian
character. There is no reason why
this church should not be crowded to
overlooking every Sunday both
morning and evening. Persons
having no church affiliations are
cordially invited to attend services
here at any time.

New Way to
Polish a Stove.
No Waste-Odor-or Dirt.

By sprinkling Sitter Stove Polish on the stove
and then rubbing with a damp rag and gently
brushing with dry cloth, a brilliant, jet black
iustre is obtained. Sitter Stove Polish comes
In large box with perforated top, through
which the polish is sifted just like peppering a
beefsteak. Sitter Stove Polish is made Of pure
powdered graphite, which is not affected by fire
produces the most brilliant polish, and when
applied, won't rub off. 1t is odorless. 1t never
dries up. 1t does not require soaking in watel
before using. A 10 cent box of Sitter Stove
Polish will polish more stoves than three times
its cost in any other polish. Get Sitter Stove
Polish of any dealer at 5 cents box, a 10 cent
box contains more than twice as much. Insist
on the yellow label with the hand.
