Boston Brown Bread.

: Something concerning the origin
of Boston brown bread appeared re-
Gently in the Saturday Evening Post.
1t is said to have been invented by
Major Nathaniel Thwing, of Boston,
In July, 1746, and was regarded in
the etrlier days as a famine food"
At that period there was a great
scarcity in the cereals. All sorts of
provisions, but especially breadstuffs.
were high. Wheat cost twenty shil-
lings a bushel, and white bread came
at two cents an ounce, the sixteen
ounce Household Loaf" which was
Of a coarse kind, selling for twelve
cents.
Thwing was a baker by trade.
When he asked permission of the Sc
lectmen of Boston to make and sell
brown bread Of a certain specified
composition, containing a stated pro-
portion Of cornmeal, the suggestion
was kindly received, and breadstuffs

efably higher than the figures al

manufacture the article on a consid-
cradle scale, retaining a monopoly of
the business for many years.
1t was not until Parliament came
to the rescue Of the colonists that
breadstuffs fell in price, and even
brown bread, though a famine food,
was at first more expensive than it is
to-day, but finally it dropped to eight
cents for a loaf weighing about three
pounds, and thus became an article
available for the everyday diet of
people Of the most moderate means

brown bread as a sort Of Sunday

Enterprises i'll Cuba.

New York City.-Just as the uni
ted States Government has succeeded
in restoring a semblance of political
order in the Island of Cuba financial
troubles of the most serious charac-
ter have been thrust upon the un
happy Pearl of the Antilles by tho
disappearance, which was announced
of Manuel Silveira, Of Silveira & Co..
one of the largest firms of bankers
and merchants in Havana. and the
failure of the. Silveira associates in
this city. J. M. Ceballos & Co., per-
haps the largest concern doing a mer-
camille and banking business between
the United States and Spain and
Spanish America. These two firms
have been extremely active in devel-
oping railroads, sugar plantations and
other important enterprises in Cuba
and Porto Rico, and the ramifcations
Of their business in those islands are
extensive. Ceballos & Co. are a firm
of more than fifty years standing,
and it's failure will be for more than
100000 at the lowest estimate
made:
The explanation of the immediate
cause of the Ceballos failure sounds
like the plot of a sensational" novel.
Manuel Silveira, head of the Cuban
house of that name, who has been
for several years the Cuban repre-
sentative of Ceballos & Co., for
months withheld funds he should
have forwarded to the New York
firm, it is said.
On October 2 he took more than
100000 belonging to Ceballos &
Co., runs the story told by William
Nelson Cromwell, who has taken
charge of the firms affairs. Crom-
well says Silveira boarded a cattle
steamer belonging to- him and sailed
with his wife and children.
AS yet absolutely nothing is known
as to his destination, though cable
messages have been sent to practi-
cally every port in the world in an
attempt to intercept him.
"Ceballos & Co. had no Fremont
ton Of this conduct Of their agent
said Cromwell, land, confronted with
this large loss and the deprivation of
their current resources / have
deemed it just to all having relations
with them that the firm should make
a general assignment without prefer
ence, in order to insure equality to
all and opportunity for examination
of the firms affairs in connection
with these unexpected and amazing
developments. Under the extraor-
binary conditions mentioned, and the
s~uddenness of the disaster which has
fallen upon the firm Of Ceballos &
Co., it is impracticable at the mo-
ment to make an intelligent state
ment OF the assets and liabilities. In
a general way the liabilities are be-
tween 100000 and 100000.

The p of Europe.

Rumania may we'll be proud to be
called the Japan of Europe. She has
achieved in the midst Of incessant
jealousy and opposition much that
the free empire Of the Far East has
accomplished.
But, says the Fortnightly Review
the progress of Rumania, if less
great, is perhaps more meritorious
even than that Of Japan. To a small
State, hampered at every turn by
Turkish reaction and European greed
or ignorance, the opportunities of
progress were much less facile than
In the island empire of Japan.
But on May %, 1905. King Charles
I. of free Rumania celebrated his
forty years of reign and saw what
was once a Turkish yassal State
standing proudly erect among the
European nations. Where once was
chaos and corruption to-day is an Or
derby State, bound in friendly al
lance with great Powers. and, more
important still, an example to the
world Of peaceful internal develop
ment and of a tranquil but persistent
foreign policy.

1--WE need to check the forces Of
greed, to insure just treatment alike
of capital and of labor. and of the
general public, to prevent any man,
rich or poor. from doing or receiving
wrong, whether this wrong be one
of cunning or of violence. Much can
be done by wise legislation and by
resolute enforcement Of the law.
But still more must be done by steady
training of the individual citizen, in
conscience and character, until he
grows to abhor corruption and greed
and tyranny and brutality and to
prize justice and fair dealing"
The new Capitol Of Pennsylvania
is one of the most beautiful and i'm

ture of about s13,000,000.

Extracting an Elephants Tooth.

The greatest dental operation on
record was performed upon an eIe-
plant in the City Of Mexico. The
aching tooth was twelve inches long
and fourteen inches In diameter at
the root. After the animal was se-
curely fastened with chains, his
mouth was pried open and a quantity
Of cocaine applied to deaden the pain.
When this was done a hole was bored
through the tooth and an iron bar
inserted. Then a rope was twisted
around the bar and four horses at
tached, to drag it out.
