H PRETzEL.
Re Simple Figure Scheme and Infinite
Possibilities of Variety.

possibilities OF Variety.
The pretzel is one of the most re-
markable creations of the human mind
and hand 1t stands almost alone as
an artificial product displaying the
countless varieties of form produced
by nature in the leaves Of trees and
blades of grasses. OF the millions
upon millions turned out by the pretzel
bakeries since the inception of the in
dustry 1t is not probable that any two
were exactly alike.
The general figure scheme of the
pretzel must have been an inspiration.
1t would have been impossible for the
human mind to conceive a scheme SO
simple and yet permitting such ap-
proach to infinite variation. Because
Of the peculiar shape of the pretzel its
construction is most easily described
by employing sailor mems terms. A
blight Is taken In a roll of dough. and
the ends are given a half twist and
the blight. This makes the article
somewhat heart shaped. There can
have been no sentimental reason for
this shape, for there Is no product OF
art or nature further removed from the
realm of sentiment than is the pretzel.
The finished article looks as II 1t had
been vanished and exposed to a sand
storm before the varnish dried.
The pretzel is unique as an article of
internal use. 1t cannot be classed as
food or drink. 1t is not a dessert, nor
is 1t a medicine. Perhaps 1t should be
classed al al ~appetizer-an appetizer
not for food. but for drink, and therein
lies Its uniqueness. 1t is the great
thirst producer. 1t Is the third of a
Sahara done up in a twist of dough.
If any one could invent something that
would quepch thirst as effectively as
the pretzel can produce it his fortune
would be made.
The home of the pretzel Is Ger
many, where 1t is called bretzel or
pretzel. according to whether 1t is in
north Germany or south Germany, but
in America 1t Is pretzel all the time,
whether in North America or South
America. The name Is commonly re-
garded as being derived from words In
the Latin language meaning bracelet.
But Germans are not fond OF taking
words from the Latin tongues. Per
haps the pretzel owes its name to the
fact that 1t is baked on a fiat, board
like surface. The German word for
board Is brett.-Washington Post

WEIGHT of a Lion.

What does a lion weigh? Those who
know the look of the king of beasts
best and how small his little body
really is will probably come farthest
from the truth. About 300 to 800
pounds is n usual estimate, but a full
grown lion will tip the scales at no
less than 500 pounds. Five hun
dred and forty pounds is the record for
an African lion. His bone Is solid and
heavy as ivory. The tiger runs the
lion very close. A Bengal tiger killed
by an English officer scaled 500 pounds.
A tiger this size has, however, con-
siderably more muscular strength than
the biggest lion.

Pierce's medicines by such writers should
have more weight than n amount of

such men are writing for the guidance of

AN UP TO DATE METHOD.
Net Curtains Pulled Up and Down
When L~aundered.

Net Curtains Pulled Up n Down
When L~aundered.
Methods of dyeing the threads used
in the manufacture of madras curtains
are being continually improved upon,
SO that they have now reached such a
state of perfection that these hangings
may be washed as safely as a pocket
handkerchief and by the same simple
means.
Not long ago it vas necessary to use
either salt or vinegar to "set the col
ors' before laundering. but nowadays
this Is entirely unnecessary.
An authority says curtains can be
washed at home quite as satisfactorily
for a few cents as though one paid 90
cents a pair for cleaning by a profes-
sionsl.
According 10 a successful cleaner.
tMs process should be followed: Make
suds with warm water and white soap.
Then the water is put into an immense
tub or vat that has revolving arms
something like those found In washing
machines.
Next the curtains are thoroughly
shaken In order to free them from
dust. Then they are placed In wide
meshed bags like the string shopping
bags. The revolving arms send the
water through and through both bags
and curtains. When clean they are
taken from the suds and, still in the
bags, arc rinsed In clean water.
The bags are used to protect the
curtains from the revolving arms
which OF course might catch the mesh.
es and tear them.
This authority advises home cleaners
to mako the suds, then immense the
curtains (not using bags) and souse
them up and down with the hands
without rubbing until all the dirt has
disappeared. They must then be
rinsed In clean cold water, hung up
to dry and we'll shaken, when they are
ready for use again.
When madras curtains were made
in cream and n coloring only. It was
quite safe to lay them in salt or vine
gar. as the color called for. but since
as many as four shades are often com
bined In one curtain what would
brighten n might darken or dull an
other, so the greatest care is taken In
drying the yarns before weaving.
Tho warp only in madras curtains is
of cotton. The pattern Dr. design. nc
matter whether just white, one color
or a variety of tints, is always of wool.
This holds color better than cotton;
hence there is no reason for setting
before washing curtains.
A line Of madras curtains that will
not fade is shown In some stores.
They are called the "sundour' and
come In a variety Of pretty designs and
~colorings. The best part of it is that
they are no more expensive than the
average madras curtains.

THE DANGEROUS FLEA.
a Plague Alike to Both Man and
Beast.

EE42ae AIIko 10 Both Man n
Beast.
AS to the place and manner of origin
of the plague germ, or Bacillus pests,
nothing definite is yet known. The
manner of It's travel and communica-
ton to man has been clearly traced.
The bacillus lives and breeds in the
blood of the rat. The rat is the vic
tim of fieas which live upon his blood
and as they feed draw into themselves
the plague bacilli which swim by thou
sands in his vital fluid. Thus infected
and thereby as dangerous as so many
little dynamite bombs. the feas pass
with the rats into the habitations of
human beings which the rats infest
and there from convenient floors or
chairs or beds leap upon human vic
tins.
The plague laden flea does not poi
son nan with his bite, as the stego-
myia mosquito poisons by injecting
the bacillus of yellow fever directly
into the blood. The flea. it is true,
bites human beings as he bites other
prey. He sucks blood until he Is re-
plete and then squirts blood from his
~alimentary canal upon his prey. There
in lies the peril. Plague bacilli are In
this discharge, and if it be left undis-
turbed on the skin of the victim the
bacilli will penetrate the skin and It's
sues, enter the circulation and thus in
feet the person upon whom the flea
has fed.
1t Is this curious manner of infection
by dejecta that makes the bubonic
plague peculiarly dangerous to people
who do not battle frequently. In ia
pan and in the United States the
spread of the disease among human
beings wen in rat infected cities is
slow, while in India and China and
certain parts of Europe where people
battle seldom If ever the plague runs
like wildfire. 1t is almost impossible
for a person who bathes twice a day
to become infected with bubonic
plague. = William Inglis in Harper's

AUGUST DRE|ER's
WILL PROBATED

Judge De Bolt yesterday admitted 10
probate the will Of the late August
Dreier. The probate of the will was
contested on the ground of undue infiu.
ence to the detriment of the widow and
the son Emil, who is in sanitarium for
the weak-minded in California. The
objection to the probate of the will
came from W. A. Kinney, guardian rof
Emil. He was cut off with $3.50 a
month while his expenses at the sanr.
tarium are $40 n month. In deciding
the case Judge De Bolt said: ''That
said alleged will was executed by him
august Dreier) on the 9th day of Nov
ember, 1907, in the presence of r. Il.
Thompson, Chas. L. Seybolt and Chas
Clemens as subscribing witnesses; that
said testator at the time of the execu.
ton of the said will was of sound and
disposing mind, and was competent to
make will, and that said will was
duly executed as required by law.'
1t is now probable that the issue of
whether or not the will is valid one
will be brought before a jury.
The widow, Mrs. Emma Dreier, yes.
terday filed her election to take her
dover interest in the estate rather than
the provision made for her in the will.
