French "Tommes" and Their Bread


The little ioaves OF bread supplied
to the French soldier have from time
immemorial been known by the name
OF "boules de son" (literally bran
balls"D. Their origin dates back to
the First Republic. In the Middle
Ages the French Tommy Atkins" re-
ceived no rations, and had to depend
on what he could get from the enc
my. At later date a commissariat
department was created, and the SOL
dier was allowed two loaves, of twelve
ounces, per diem. In 1890 the troops
received free rations of bread without
any deduc-io from their pay. This
bread contained little -four. but bran
observation-disclosures the name, bran
nails" In 1870 it was decided to sup
lily bread made of -four only, but the
loayes continued to retain their old
anne. Now the "boule de son" is
about to disappear absolutely, and the
braves soldats" will henceforth have
bread lighter and more nourishing
than hitherto.

LIGHT WANTED OFF CAPEs.
Navigators Complain That Absence
of Marks Causes Disaster.

Complaint is made by vessel masters
that trade into Chesapeake bay Of the
absence of lights to mark the channels
past Cape Charles and Cape Henry into
the bay. 1t is asserted that had there
been such lights the stranding of several
vessels recently would have been avoided
The navigators want a big light buoy
such as was removed from off Cape Henry
several months ago. or a lightship located
off Cape Henry. The lighthouse service
will have it's attention called to the need
of such light.
1t is claimed that in heavy and thick
weather 1t is possible for a steamer or d
sailing vessel to go ashore on the shoals
near Cape Charles because of the lack of
a proper light guiding them into the chan
mel
There was up TO few months ago q
gas buoy about eight miles outside the en-
trance to the bay, and this was received
with appreciation by all seafaring people
Recently, however, the light was removed
and the only mark remaining. outside of
the light ashore at Cape Henry, is
whistling buoy This, 1T is said, is often
too faint to be heard.
1t is necessary in thick weather. in
coming from the southwark for vessels to
haul In and make the land about Curri-
tuck. or else take the chance Of running
beyond and going ashore over toward
Cape Charles. The return Of the gas BUOY,
which was plainly visible many miles or
the substitution Of the lightship marking
the new thirty-five-foot channel is what
is greatly desired.

The State of Nevada Has Produced

OF her extensive area of more thal

Good judges predict that Wonder

the recent panic, and activity is now

to make a purchase. and was in front OF
her home when a footpad grabbed her
purse. appearing suddenly that ms
victim hardly saw lNm. and in wrenching
it from her hand caused her TO slip and
fall on the icy pavement. Size called
for assistance. but before any enc ar
rived her assailant had disappeared. Mrs.
Sullivan had only about 81, a religious
medal and some papers in her pocket
book
Mrs. Sullivan was taken To the lIomeo-
pathic Hopsital, where she received
treatment for the injuries to her wrist.
1t was stated last night that a young
colored man had been seen near where
the robbery was committed, and an effort
Is being made to have him identified.
Only few days ago a colored man
was convicted IN the Criminal Court of
pocketbook snatching and given a long
term in the penitentiary. but the sentence
does not seem to have deferred others
Maj. Sylvester is particularly anxious to
have footpads arrested, and ill pay
