'Now, don't be angry or shocked. l

but just the same l know that you've
absorbed that much alcohol. How?
Well, simply by eating bread.
at has long been known that the fer
mentation of bread caused the forma-
ton of alcohol, but it was supposed
that it passed from the dough during

lists have proved that bread, when
ready for eating, contains an average
of 300 per cent of alcohol to the loaf.
countries strong liquors are brewed
from bread. kvass. the mild Russian
beer is brewed from brown bread.
"Now, if you eat 400 loaves of bread

which equals four pints Of rye whisky.

ASPARAGUS.
Its Relation to the Famous AsphOdel
of the Early Ages.

As Il ticker of the palate asparagus
has come down the ages with all the
weight of Greek and Roman approval
Plato ate it by the plateful, and Arts
tophanes, the humOrist. regarded it as q
great aid in digesting the crank phi
losophers of the day.
1t is an odd fact that this culinary
plant is closely related to the famous
asphodel, which was supposed by the
ancients to be the leading flower in the
gardens of the elysium, the Greek pur-
gatory or paradise. A part of the
quaintness of this lies in the fact that
the roots possess purgative qualities.
The roots and fruit of both were for
merry much used In medicine for this
purpose.
According to the superstition of the
Romans, the names of the dead fed on
the roots OF the asphodel. They planted
it. therefore, in and around the eeme-
teries; hence to this day it covers with
its beautiful golden blossoms as pro-
fusely as dandelions the Apulian hills
and valleys, and the sheep feed on ii
greedily.
1t belongs to the same natural order
Of perennlals. and the only difference
between the asparagus and the as
phodel appears TO be In the fruit and
the color of the flowers. So abundant
Is the wild asparagus In the steppes of
Russia that cattle eat it like grass, Just
as italian sheep devour its botanical
cousin

OUR LANGUAGE.
The Words a Man Uses and the Words

The Words a Man Uses and the WOPam
He Might Employ.
How, many words are possible? Start
ing from the four and twenty alpha
bette sounds, Leibnitz calculated the
combinations at 62O, 44S, 7O1, 733, $780,
730, 5000 600. But many Of these comb
nations would be unpronounceable even
in Welsh. In Chinese every syllable is
a separate word.
Does mans stock. of words grow rich
er or poorer with time? NJ Moncalm
foresees an ever higher intellectual des-
tiny for the race in the future. "Our
fathers" he says, did not know the
thousandth part of our vocabulary,
which is very copious." Certainly the
New Dictionary is much larger work
than JOhnSon's, and we doubt not that
primitive man talked less than an NJ.
P. does, though even he had his pala-
vers and congresses. But if any one
were to take down the talk of an aver
age modern undergraduate or society
girl we doubt If it would be found to
contain more than $50 vocables, where
an educated Elizabethan or Caroline
would have employed several thousand.
Nothing is more striking in the old
prose writer's than the rich variety and
imaginative picturesqueness of their
language Not only are we lacking in
concrete Imagination and ashamed to
60 afield out of the beaten track of
speech, bat phrases which were when
first devised forcible and strong have
through long currency lost their edge.
Three-fourths of the expressions we use
have ceased to be effective metaphors
and become conventional and lifeless.-

Chatham N. Y Courier: The
continuous announcements week after
week of the forthcoming profit pro-
duoing entertainments have come to
be expected of the newspapers in
country towns, and rather than offend
any one the publishers have printed
one announcement after another of
the same entertainment until the
thing has become monotonous. These
announcements are legitimate adver-
Using, from the publishers stand
point, as they are no longer news after
the first announcement of an event has
been made. Thus the free advertising
given by country newspapers amounts
yearly to maUy dollars. We have
decided to put new policy in force
this matter from this date.
The Courier will hereafter give one
liberal notice in it's local news COL
umns of any entertainment to which
a paid admission is charged, but any
notice will be treated as
and charged for at the
rate of two cents a word Should
the church, society or individual con-
Quoting the entertainment in question
care to order the necessary printing,
as tickets, posters, etc., for said enter
at this Office it will entitle
them to free notice of the entertain
ment.

Superior Court

The case of Harris Rabinowitz VS..
Myron Kemp was to have been tried
on Wednesday, but it was settled just
before the opening of court. The
case of Harry T. Fuller versus John
Foskett was on trial Wednesday and
Thursday. The case is Tolland one,
both parties owning property in that
town. The suit is the outcome of
Foskett crossing Fuller's property in
order to reach plot of land bought
by him in 1904. On Friday there
was hearing in regard to applica-
tions for the reward of $500 offered
by the state for the conviction of
Frank Sherrie, the Somersville muir
derer. Applications were made for
the reward by Deputy Sheriff George
L. Wilson and Chief of Police Edward
Bromage of Thompsonville, and Sam
Boyko of Hartford. Judge Wheeler
held that both Bromage and Wilson
were acting in their capacities as
officers and had been paid for their
services, but told them they might
submit authorities in support of their
claims. In the case of l.. Amanda
White VS.. David Thautt and others,
Judgment was rendered for $4O4. So,
and the first Tuesday of July named
as the limit for redemption. Judg-
ment was given for the plaintiff in
the foreclosure case of Noble E. Lord
VS.. Riley Olin. The foreclosure was
brought on a mortgage given to the
town of Hebron in 1S4S. A petition
has been presented from the members
of the Tolland Baptist church and So
ciety, asking that the church be dis
solved and the property turned over
to the Connecticut Baptist conven.
tiou, the state association The
matter is in charge of the secretary of
the Baptist convention. F. Fl Devine,
of Hartford, who states that the Toll
land society has not held any church
services for about Is years, and the
property consists of the church edifice
and lot in Holland, and the church
furnishings. The church and fur.
nishiugs are out of repair. Attorn.
Nicholson of Bridgeport, who appears
for the state society. has been given
leave to amend his petition, which
will then probably be allowed by the

Zenobia, daughter of an Arab chief
and wife of a king Of Palmyra, was
celebrated both for her beauty and her
learning. She went with her husband
to battle, and his success in wars with
the Persians was chiefly due to her
wise counsels and personal bravery.
On the death Of her husband in 266 she
took the title Of queen Of the east"
and ruled for five years with f1rmness
