"Durum Wheat"

what is durum wheat? Most peo-
nile know that it is the wheat pre-
ferred in the manufacture OF maca-
roni but this is only n OF its many
uses. one of the many reasons why
it is liked by many cooks, especially
in France where it is extensively used,
in the making of bread. 1t is strong
In gluten. the musclemaker, and for
that reason should be made into a
common diet if possible The big
Touring mills do not take kindly to
# vet because 1T is too hard for their
rollers. but there is NO doubt that
they will adapt their machinery to II
as the demand increases. Most or 1t
is raised in northern Minnesota ana
Dakota. and in the semiarid regions
farther west. So far TT IS chiefly ex-
ported. 1t Is said that bread made
from durum wheat contains from
eighteen to twenty ounces OF gluten
in 100 ounces of bread, whereas the
ratio in bread made from ordinary
wheat is as seven of gluten LII

PastineIIo,

This IS a new style of decorative art
which bids fair to find favor with
those who depend upon their amateur
exertions for home identifying. The
process consists of the Pastinello
paste being applied to the material
(silk. velvet, straw-any stuff which
IS used In accessories of dress or or.
nament), applied by means Of small
paper bags similar to those used by
confectioners in icing cakes, etc. Be-
fore the paste dries, tinting and shad.
ing is done with oil colors, and lastly,
the Pastinells powder Is strewn over
the surface while still wet, to impart
the silky luster which IS the chief
charm of this method. The only nee.
essary outfit is a collection of oil col,
ors. and while there are those special
" prepared for use with the paste,
ordinary artists colors will do.
These, with tubes of paste and palette
and knife are all that are needed.
Little training and talent are re
uuired as the work is bold and broa0
in effect, used chiefly for baskets.
cushion tops. etc.

Carroll was last to yield to the scythe OF
death, on November IA, 1882, age So.
Even the anxiety of the old gentleman VINO
was to ring the bell in the tower OF the state
house hurried the passing of the declaratlon'
since he had stationed below his little grand
son, who kept impatiently asking the delegates
about the declaration. And when the giao
moment had arrived the lad cried forth the
tidings, "Grandpa, ring the bell! We are
free!" Hence, from the voice OF a chllo came
the proclamation of liberty.
The bell he rung was not, as Is pub
lished, cast in England; 1t was constructed OF
the metal of a bell made in London, but our
liberty bell was nodded and cast in Phlladel'
phia by Cass & Stow, in March, 1853. The IN
s%cription on It is ancient indeed. and is founo
in the Bible-Leviticus 25:10.
The truth is always welcome; hence let US
correct a number of misconceptions regarding
the day. The art of telegraphy was not
known to those early sires; news did not
speed across the continent in the twinkle OF
an eve" or Massachusetts on July Z would not
have prayerfully sought in church and cham
Der the passage Of the Virginia resolution"
They would have known that the deed was al
ready done on the 4th. And if the art OF pho
Biography had been known to the boys OF 76"
a copy of independence hall on that memoir
able fourth day of July would show a nag
with thirteen stripes, alternate red and white,
with a union of the crosses Of SITS. George and
Andrew on a blue field" and not the "stars
and stripes" as shown on our modern oil pro-
auctions. And when Washington, on July 9 In
New York City, had the declaration read to
all the soldiers in arms, the stars and stripes
was not the banner Of the day, since our
starry emblem was not devised until nearly
a year after the enactment of our bill OF free
DOM"
Where Jefferson's first or original draft OF
the declaration may be is not known. He
practically admits this in a letter written later
in life. He copied the original, with Its cor
~rections by the committee, a number OF times.
and mailed some to several people. one copy
going to Richard Henry Lee. others to his
home and friends, but the one that was pre-
pared on parchment and signed on August Z.

safe in the vaults Of the department OF stats

dlers OF the air." Hence, under the burning
words of eloquent men and the piercing rays
of the sun and singing of insects, a decree OF
liberty was born.
The vote on the declaration was taken at
about 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Thursday,
and, while it was an intensely warm day for
Philadelphia. it certainly was, politically
speaking, a cold, clammy day for London.
While the document was not signed on July
4, it had the same moral and executive effect,
since the delegates voted for the action and
ordered it engrossed on parchment. On August
2 the Sheepskin copy was presented, and all
the incidents relative to the signing, together
with the several comment of members, bear
on the sessions of August 2, when all save two
members subscribed their names to the pro-
nouncement that 1--WE hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are created equal"
1t was largely due to trivial statements that
the delegates were aroused to the spirit OF
unity, and these apparent remarks led the
members to cheerfully subscribe their names
to a warrant of death or Imprisonment. The
oft-quoted humor of Charles Carroll needs to
be corrected. In the past we have been told
that when Charles Carroll of Maryland stepped
up to sign his name to the engrossed document
he said: "The British will be looking for all
of us, and so they may have no trouble in lind
ing me I will put down my address," and he
signed, Charles Carroll of Carrollton. Tradl-
ton has it that the audience OF delegates
laughed heartily, and one gentleman spoke out
loudly, There goes some millions of property"
To indicate that this very wealthy colonist
was not at all times at ease financially, the fol-
lowing letter, written by him two years before
the declaration was signed, attests. y must
have the money, and speedily, for l am quite
out of cash. However, a delay Of a few days
will make no great difference" This demon
strates the theory that millionaires too often
get into close financial quarters.
Mr.. Carroll demonstrated his fearless. patri-
otto impulse prior to signing when he In rs
wrote TO q member of parliament these sting
ing and rebellious words:
.Your thousands OF soldiers may come. but
they will be masters Of the spot only on which
they encamp. They will find naught but enc
mics before and around them. II we IRE beaten
on the plains we will retreat to the mountains
and defy them. Our resources will increase
with our difficulties. Necessity viii force US to

claim; 1t voiced the sentiments of the
common people, and contained the
teachings of the patriots of old. While
to Americans it expresses principles
that are most dear, and by many held
as American in essence, vet every
thought announced was ancient in
conception, though it never fully
found community declaration until at
Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. In the
study of great events one is i'm
pressed with the influence that mere
tribes exert on the ultimate outcome
Of a venture. Our history abounds in
Instances where trivial matters were
the cause of great changes, and innu-
merable are the occasions where'tbe
destiny of an individual career was
modified by a circumstance little sus-
pected of possessing any element of
force. In the research of data rela-
tive to the Declaration of Indepen-
dence the thought occurred. Was the
illness of Mrs. Richard Henry Lee
responsible for he present wording
of our first national proclamation?
Close investigation of this trivial in
cident leads absolutely to the answer
that Thomas Jefferson's association
with the committee OF Independence
was brought about because of the i'll
ness OF Mrs. Lee, and sufficient cir
cumstantial evidence is at land to
SubStantiate this statement
