the POPULAR and
PECULIAR PRETzEL
It's Simple Figure Scheme and
Infinite Possibilities of
Variety.
From the New York Sun.

The pretZel is one of the most re-
narkable 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 grass. or the millions upon
foundries since the Inception OF the
industry it is not probably that any
two We're 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 APP
proach to infinite variation. Because
Of the peculiar shape OF the pretZel its
construction is most easily described
by employing sailorman's terms. a
blight is taken in a roll of dough and
the ends are given a half twist and
brought back upon opposite sides Of
the blight. This make the article some
what 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 tina is the pref
eel. The finished article looks as If it
had been vanished and exposed to a
sandstorm 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 it a medicine. Perhaps 1t should
be classed as an appetizer-an appe-
tier not for food, but for drink, and
therein lies it's u~niqueness. 1t is the
great thirst producer. 1t is the thirst
OF a Sahara lone up in in n twist of
dough. If anyone could invent some
thing that would auench thirst as eff
fectively as the pretzel can produce it.
his fortune would be made.
The home of the pretzel is Germany,
where it is called bretzel or pretzel.
according to whether it 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 tho
fact that 1t is baked on a fat. board
like surface. The erman word for
board is brett.

fIOIH II 1IIttDtI!tlcliA.
Iceland is q large island, having about
as many square miles as Kentucky, but
having a population of only about $1,000,
that is, about that of Des Molnes, Ia,
or Lynn, Mass: and yet 1t has large polit-
ical ambitions. which are likely to bs
g%ratificd so as to make 1t n kingdom,
independent. yet not separated from Dem
mark. In 1871 Iceland was allowed a sep
arate encouragement, and two houses
of its parliament. or althing, half OF the
member of the upper house being nomi-
mated by the king. In 1903 the governor
general was withdrawn and replaced by
a minister for Iceland residing there at
Reykjavik. while the alth.ng consist Of
30 members. of whom six are appointed
by the crown. Yet this approach to
autonomy does not satisfy the people, and
a committee composed of members of tho
Danish and Icelandic ~parliaments have
agreed on a new plan that Is likely to
be adopted. Under it Iceland will be a
%kingdo,n, as independent as but
under the same king, just as Austria and
Hungary are under one emperor. The bill
provides that Iceland shall constitute a
free, autonomous and independent coun-
try. united to Denmark by a common
king and common interests and forming
with Denmark a state federation-the
United Danish empire. If the bill passes
King Frederick will be entitled to call
himself king of Denmark and king OF
Iceland. Various concessions have been
granted to Iceland. giving a greater de-
gree OF Independence. The Icelandic
treasury will contribute to the kings civil
list, and Icelanders and Danes will enjoy
equal rights in both countries. 1t is pro-
Vided also that the law may be revised
after, % years if either party objects to
its continuance. but not so as to affect
union with Denmark or n om.non min>
istry of foreign affairs. When approved
Iceland will be even more independent of
Denmark that Canada is of Great Britain,
for she will have no governor-general.

CATTLE ARE
VERY SCARCE,
Hopkins County Has Lost Much
in Both Number and
Quality.
HORSES ARE IMPROVING AND
OWNERS TAKE PRIDE IN THEM.

A Jacksonville gentleman who
is interested In farming and is
well informed on the conditions
in Hopkins county, says that
cattle in the county are very
scarce, beef cattle or mich COWS,
and that there are very few good
cattle to be found. The quality
of the cattle as well as the quaint.
ty, he says, has very much depre-
ciated as compared with a few
years ago. The cause he attrib.
utes to the low price for cattle
and even the herds that former
ly grazed in Pond River country
are decimated. 1t is very hard
to buy a mich COW now, whereas
formerly it has been very easy to
get cows at any time. Our
farmers have almost quit raising
cattle. On the other hand he
says that the quality of horses
owned and raised in the county
is steadily improving and be-
lieves that within a reasonable
time we shall have as good stock
as perhaps any other section of
the country. People, many of
them. take pride in the kind Of
horses they own and the effort to
improve the stock is widespread.
The gentlemen quoted believes
that there should be established
in the cohnty large sales stables
for horses and mules, making
fixed market III which stock of
any desired character could be
bought or sold. The mule in
dustry is another thing that is
given little attention in Hopkins
county, and is an industry that
could be as largely and success
fully developed here as it is In
Hardin and other counties, where
it constitutes a very important
part of the county's resources
and brings much ready cash into.
circulation.
r 1t is a well known fact that
the farm Procucts of Hopkins
county do not in any line nearly
supply the home demand of our
various Industrial towns and of
the people of the county gener-
ally. There is much room for inn
provement of and increase in
farm products of all kinds, for
which good prices can always be
had at home.
