vermont's Two Seasons.

One winter when Thaddeus Stevens
had come back to his Vermont home
he was the victim of severe cold
and could not leave the house for many
weeks. One Of his callers was Lewis
Clark, man of short stature, who
In earlier days had been playmate Of
the "Old Commoner" and was a near
neighbor Of the Stevens family in their
Peacham home. Vermonters had just
begun to wear buffalo coats, and Mr..
Clark arrived at the Stevens home al
most lost in coat which reached to
the ground. His upturned collar CON-
pletely covered his ears and face, while
a fur cap completed the disguise.

Stevens in an incredulous tone.
"Yes, Thad," he replied.
"Well, skin yourself and sit down."

During the interesting conversation
which followed Mr.. Clark asked Ste.

When Grover Cleveland was practic-
ing law at Buffalo among his associ-
ates was a young lawyer who, though
a bright fellow, was rather inclined to
lazlness. He was forever bothering
Cleveland about points Of law rather
than look them up himself. At last
Cleveland became tired Of it. and the
next time the young man sauntered in
Cleveland knew what he wanted and,
getting up, pointed to his bookcase and
said: There are my books. You are

The stale Bread OF Hungary.

AAC SSseAO sA1EChU % uM01Evs
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. it is eaten by the very large ma
jority of the Magyar population, is
carefully laid away on shelf and dug
out for consumption months and
months after 1t has come out Of the
great ovens. If the huge loaf, weigh
Ing something like Ave 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 a 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.

Proflixate spendthrifts,

The wealth of many of the ancient
Romans was reckoned far into the
millions. Mark Antony during his
somewhat Qaeckered career squander-
ed no less than $735, 100000, and IT,
berius left at his death over eighteen
millions, which Caligula spent in less
than year. Records show that this
spendthrift paid $4,000 for one sup
per. Horace tells us that Pegellus, a
singer, could in five days spend $4O,-
600, and Clodius on a small wager
swallowed pearl worth nearly $780,
600. The estate of Crassus was valued
at $8,40O,0O0. Lucullus dined at the
rate Of $1,000 meal for several weeks.
Lentulus was worth not less than six
teen millions, and Apicus squandered
nearly five millions OF dollars in few
weeks.

To, Cold For overcoats.

"You do not find any one wearing
overcoats in Alaska, even in the win

"The principal thing to be careful
about is keeping the head, hands and
feet warm. In that part Of Alaska
where have been the only land trans
portation is by dog sleds, and to fol-
low them one has to drop into a dog
trot beside the sled. An ordinary suit
is plenty thick enough to keep you
warm, and an overcoat is dangerous in
that temperature. Trotting alongside

make you perspire, and the bitter cold
would freeze the perspiration. The

worn on the hands and moccasins with

had completed their testimony and started
to leave the armory they were surrounded
by crowd of Col. Dyer's friends and
hooted. Meyer attempted to demonstrate
with the guardsmen who were on hand to
cheer Col. Dyer when he came out and
several OF them warned him to get out
quickly which he did.
Sergt. Meyer was on the rack Tor an
hour and half, James W. Osborne cross
examining. 1t was limited outside that the
charges had fallen down completely.
Shortly before midnight Macrea left the
witness room in tears. 1t was said that
Col. Dyer's counsel had given him a mer-
ciless cross-examination.
When Macrea appeared there were an
cry shouts and threats from the milia-
men who thronged the corridor. Hearing
the noise Col. Dyer came out and said:
Boys, please don't touch this man.
Macrea. Anything that happens to him
will only reflect on me-"
Then there were cries of wen take
care of him, colonel"
Macrea waited inside the armory until
two policemen came to escort him away
When they got there he was hustled
through back door and taken In the d.
rection of Sixty-flrst street
