years in the secret service Of the
United States, and one OF those de-

wrenched the weapon from his hand.

the crowd for the assassin and was set
upon and beaten. To this fact, ac-
cording to the attending physician,
his death was indirectly due.

The rice flour cracker of China is
by far the whitest biscuit product in
the world. In comparison with it the
whitest American biscuit looks
dingy. The cracker, however, is alto

their black crackers, which differs
but little in taste from the American
sweet biscuit.

The ancient custom Of baking
bread in Greece is being changed. In
the old oven a fire of branches is
kindled in the compartment where
the bread is baked and one of ordi-
nary wood in that beneath. When
the oven is sufficiently heated the
brushwood and cinders are raked
out of the upper and the bread is
put in. The change, made in the in
terests of the protection Of the for
ests, is to fit the lower compartment
for burning coke at one-half the cost
of wood. Many of the bakers of
Athens have already changed their

Recent experiments in France
have shown that natural turf is an
excellent material from which to
form beds for the fltering of sew
age. A volume of between three and
four cubic metres of sewage can be
purified every day for every square
metre Of the surface of the turf.
An experimental turf filter that has
been in use more than seven months
shows no diminution of efficiency.
If a larger proportion Of sewage
than that mentioned is employed the
filter proves less effective, but it re-
covers it's power when the amount of
sewage is reduced to the proper pro-
portion. Chemical analysts and the
effects upon fish put into the filtered
water unite in testifying to the eff
cheney Of the process.

before being bleached, the chlorine

The assertion was made at the first that the Golden Rule policy placed a dangerous discretionary power in the hands of the police. This has not proved true. In his bulletin to the police on July 1 Chief kohler said:
 The members of this department have accomplished results even be- yond my expectations in this common sense policy, which must be gratifying to you as well as myself, and I am sure it is to the general community. With your long and varied experience in police matters, 1 know that you are competent 10 judge. The last six months have shown that your judg- ment is good, and you have accom-, plished the results expected by me in our first instructions"
 The police themselves are much in- terested in and are in hearty accord with the new plan. Some of them say that they tried to exercise judgment in making arrests for intoxieation un- der the old regime, but did so on their own responsibility, while now they are supported by official indorsement. Now no person is arrested for intoxication on his first offense unless it be neces. sary for his protection or for the pro, lection of another, or unless he is dis turbing the peace and quiet of the city.
