The Stale Bread of Hungary.

In Hungary they do not eat fresh
bread. Whether it is because the Hun
garians believe in hygiene more than
their American or European brothers
and sisters or not has never been told,
but the Magyar is partial to stale
bread, and the staler the better His
''rozskenyer, or ordinary black bread,
as 1t is eaten by the very large ma
jorlty of the Magyar population, is
carefully laid away on shelf and dug
out for consumption months and
months after it has come out of the
great ovens If the huge loaf, weigh
ing something like five pounds and for
which the Hungarian pays 6 or z
kreutzer, equivalent to about or 4
cents in American money, has careful
~ been hidden away for two years, it
is considered all the better The Hun
garian never thinks Of where the
bread is to come from tomorrow. He
thinks of where it is to come from
next year, for he has at least years
supply on the shelves. The Hunga-
rian bakes her bread 365 days ahead of
time. Her Wednesday baking is for
the Wednesday of year to come; her
Thursday baking for the Thursday of
year to come

REPUBLICANS UNITED
SENATORS FINALLY REACH CON-
PROMISE ON BROWNSVILLE
INVESTIGATION.
!
TILLNAN ANSWERS SPOONER'S ATTACK
INCIDENTALLY PAYS HIS RE
sPECTs TO OTHER MEMBERS
OF UPPER HOUSE.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator For
aker, at the conclusion of routine
morning business in the senate, intro
duced a compromise resolution in re-
lation to the Brownsville matter,
which reads as follows:
Resolved, That without question
ing the legality or justice of any act
of the president in relation thereto
the committee on military affairs is
hereby authorized and directed by
subcommittee or otherwise to take
and have printed testimony for the
purpose of ascertaining all the facts
with reference to or connected with
the ARRAY at Brownsville, Tex, on the
night L. Aug. 1914, 1906. Said COM
mittee is authorized to send for per-
sons and papers, to administer oaths,
to sit during sessions or recess of the
senate and, If deemed advisable, at
Brownsville or elsewhere, the ex-
penses of the investigation to be paid
from the contingent funds of the SEN
ate."
The resolution is Identical with that
introduced by Senator Foraker on
Dec. 10 last except for the declaration
against raising the question of legality
Of the presidents act. The words
without questioning the legality or
justice Of any act of the president in
relation thereto" were inserted as the
result of the conferences called to
harmonic the difference of Repub-
lican senators after the introduction
by Senator Blackburn of his amend
ment to endorse the president.

The Military Death Sentence.

''You know how soldier traitor is
put to DEATH said the colonel "The
traitor stands blindfolded, and half a
dozen privates shoot at him stimuli
taneously. But perhaps you don't
know that each of those privates,
though he take the most careful aim,
may afterward say without fear Of
contradiction that the traitors blood
does not stain his hands. This is the
reason: Two of the rifles for this ghast-
~ shooting are always loaded with
blank cartridges. Then they are shut
fed, and no one knows which the
harmless ones are The executioners
draw, and each is as like as not to
draw harmless gun. So when they
shoot they can solace themselves with
the thought that maybe they are only
shooting blank cartridge at the poor
blindfolded wretch before them

At times the hippopotamus exudes
what has been described as a "bloody

emulation is found to consist Of great
number of minute colorless bodies, re-
sembling the colorless corpuscles Of the
blood, and smaller number of pink
colored bodies, made up Of some crys-
talline substance forming clusters Of
rodlike and triradiate form. These, be-

London, jan 22.-Referring to the
withdrawal of the American Warships
from Kingston the Pail Mall Gazette
says that the language employed by
Governor Swettenham would be diff
cult to justify in almost any circum-

says it thinks it is possible that a

miral Davis beyond the necessities Of
the case and led him to encroach too
far on the sphere of British author

both the governor and the admiral
were animated by the best of motives,
expresses the opinion that "the abnor-
NAL conditions preclude their conduct
