BREADLEss PEOPLE.
Substitutes Used I'm Parts of Italy
Austrfa and Roumania

Substitutes Used I'm Parts of italy,
Austria and Roumania.
Baked loaves of bread are practical
ly unknown in many parts of South
Austria and Italy, as well as in the ag-
ricultural districts Of Roumania, the
Bakers Weekly says. In the villages
of the Obersteirmark. not many miles
from Vienna, bread is seldom seen, the
staple food of the people being sterz. a
kind of porridge made from ground
beechnuts, which Is taken at breakfast
with broth or fried in lard and with
milk again at supper. This sterz is
also known as heiden, and takes the
place of bread not only in Steiermark,
but In Carynthia and in many parts
of the Tyrol In the north of Italy the
peasantry live chiefly on polenta, a
porridge made of boiled maize The
polenta, however, is not allowed to
granulate, like Scotch porridge or like
the Austrian sterz. but is boiled into
solid pudding. which Is cut up and
portioned out with string. 1t Is eat
en- cold as often as it is hot, and is in
every sense che Italian peasants daily
bread. The modern Roumanians are
held by many scholars to be descended
from a Roman colony--in other words,
to be cousins of the Italians; and. Gu
riously enough a variation OF the po-
lenta, called mamaliga, is the national
dish of Roumania. The mamaliga Is
like the polenta in that It is made of
boiled maze, but IL is unlike the latter
in one important respect, as the grains
are not allowed to settle into a solid
mass, but are kept distinct. after the
fashion Of oatmeal porridge.

TEARS.

When 1 consider life and Its few years,
A wisp of fog betwixt us and the
sun,
A call to battle, and the battle done
Ere the last echo dies within our ears;
A rose choked in the grass; an hour
of fears;
The gusts that past a darkening
shore do beat;
The burst of music down an unlis-
tening street
I wonder at the idleness of tears.
Ye old, old dead. and we of yester-
night,

STRUCK BY BOLT AND LIVES.


New London Man Has Unusual Ex-

To be struck by lightning and still
live is the experience of Herman
Schoenrock, the accident taking place
while he was building brick chin
ney in G. A. Sawalls new residence
in New London A bolt of lightning
struck the house, ran down the roof
short distance, jumped in at a win
dow, striking the trowel which he
had in his hand, and then passed to
some nearby wiring in the building
and thence out. When the bolt struck
the trowel Schoenroek was hurled
from the room in which he was at
work through large doorway against
the farther wall of the adjoining room
and rendered unconscious. He rallied
in about ten minutes, however, but his
right side was quite lame, while his
right arm is affected.

man with a shoe, but nothing was
known about it until the next morn
