THEY EAT NO BREAD.
Pisces Where the Poorer People Havs
to Use Substitutes.

10 use substitutes.
There are regions wherein the poor
er classes or peasantry eat little or no
bread. Baked loaves OF bread are
practically unknown in many parts Of
southern Austria and Italy and
throughout the agricultural districts Of
ROumania.
1t Is said that in the village Of the
Obersteiermark, not far from Vienna,
bread is never seen, the staple food
being sterz, kind of porridge made
from ground beech nuts, taken at
breakfast with fresh Or curdled milk.
mt dinner with broth or fried lard and
with milk again for supper. This dish
Is also known as heiden and takes the
place of bread not only in the Aus
trlan district named, but in Carinthia
and in many parts of the Tyrol.
In northern Italy the peasants affect
a substitute for bread called po,enta,
a porridge made of boiled grain. Po-
lenta Is not, however, allowed to
"granulate," like Scotch porridge or
like the Austrian sterz, but is boiled
into a solid pudding, which is cut up
and portioned out with a string. 1t is
eaten cold as often as It is hot and is
in every sense the Italians daily
bread
a variation of polenta called mama
liga is said TO be the favorite food Of
the poorer classes In Roumanla. Ma
maliga is like polenta in that 1t is
made of boiled grain, but 1t Is unlike
the latter in one important respect
the grains are not allowed to settle
into solid mass, but are kept dis
tinct, after the fashion of oatmeal
porridge.-New York Herald.

PLEASED WITH WORK
OF SALVATION ARMY
COMMISSIONER SAYS LOCAL
CORPS IS SUCCESSFUL
Conditions Among Poor of Los An
geles Almost Ideal When Com-
pared with Those in
Other Cities

Commissioner Thomas Estill, in COM
mand of the Salvation Army west of
the Mississippi river, with headquar-
ters at Chicago, is in Los Angeles on
one of his periodical evangelical and
inspection trips. Seated in the COM
fortably furnished and homelike offices
of the Salvation Army Young Womens
Boarding home, 514 South Grand ave-
nue.. Commissioner Estill said:
1.-THE Pacific coast territory is one
of our most successful and gratifying
fields. Here in Los Angeles at the
present time we are operating five
mems hotels, nine industrial stores, the
TrueloVe Rescue home, a free diSpen-
sary with specialists in different
branches each day, and free labor
bureau, in addition to this beautifully
furnished home, which is the finest or
its kind in the United States.
ut is a great relief to me to find the
poor in such comfortable circum-
stances here compared with the suf-
ferings which the high prices of food
and terrible cold impose upon them in
the east. The evangelical work in Los
Angeles is taken care of by two Eng
disappearing corps and scandinavian
corps.
1.-The organization is prospering in
California at present, and we are plan
ming new buildings in Fresno and
Stockton, and new cottage which Will
accommodate thirty children at our
Orphans home in Sonoma county.
The home is situated on farm of $40
acres, which is taken care of almost
entirely by the children, who thus gain
scientific instruction in farming, dairy
ing and chicken raising.
Hotel Pays Premium
1.-THE st. Francis hotel in San Fran
cisco for the past five or six years has
taken all the eggs produced by the
farm at a premium of cents a dozen
above the market price, and has in
that time found but three bad eggs in
the lot. The children may also learn
trades if they wish, as there are com
petent instructors in several lines
among the officers in charge"
The commissioner has been an OH
Ger in the Salvation Army for nearly
thirty-two years. His first work was
done in Great Britain, where he worked
among the poor for eleven years. He
then was put in the department OF the
colonies, and for twenty years he tray
eled in Holland, South Africa, New
Zealand, Australia and Japan, super
vising and extending the evangelical
work in those places.

not only in discomfort, but IN constant
neril from disease. Several acts for
the benefit of these laborers have peen
passed. under which county authorlties
are able to borrow government IunuS
for the erection of decent, sanisary
dwellings, which rent for the tritilng
sum of a shilling (25 cents) a week.
Nearly 10000 of these neat cottages
have been erected, and as many Oh
the wretched huts swept away. SIM
liar work has been undertaken for the
poor dwellers in the towns, where tehe-

authorities are empowered to borrow
funds and erect sanitary houses which
are rented at a very low rate TO the
artisans.

and Notwithstanding any agreement to

And what has been the result of re-
form in Ireland? Has social radicalism
paid?
Or is it an "iridescent dream?"
Success of Reform
Mr.. Sutherland writes: "F'or a week
1 have been travelling through the
country district l visited seven years
ago, and EVERYWHERE 1 HAVE
SEEN PROGRESS. IMPROVEMENT,
A BRIGHTER AND BETTER CIVIL
IZATION. JUST A CHANCE-THAT
Just a chance" Aye; just chance.
That's all the average human being
wants. The Irish Celt in this differs
in no respect from his less fortunate
brethren of the human race, crowding
and mauling and eating each other in
the swarming stews and the neglected
streets of New York and other great
cities of America, where landlordism-
suueezepenny landlordism charges
rackrent for floor space so dingy, so
airless, so filthy, so unhealthy that
even the most "proverbial" Irishman
would scorn to keep his pig in such
mean quarters.
Every indication shows the time is
fast approaching when conditions in
Ireland will be referred to by the bet
ter informed people of the United
States to point the moral of what may
be accomplished by social reform, re-
gard for ones neighbor and disre-
gard for a cumbersome weight of
traditions heaped oppressively upon
modern civilization by the usages Of a
barbaric, ever r-commercialized Saxon
dom, individualized to such an extent
that not only are charities forgotten,
but even family ties no longer are re-
garded as binding, and ignorant or al

A GOOD SHOT

Bill Jones was an eccentric character,
a local justice of the peace in South
Carolina town. He was exceedingly
tall-so attenuated, in fact, that but for
his hat he would not have cast q
shadow. One night number of fellow
bon vivants joined him in a symposium,
and many mint juleps were consumed.
One of the party unsteadily produced
a revolver. 1t was accidentally dis
charged, and bullet struck Bill Jones
in the leg.
Conscience-stricken and wabbly with
excitement and juleps, the owner of the
weapon hastened to the home of the
nearest doctor and pulled the door
bell.
At length the physician, who had
himself been spending a riotous even
ing, stuck his head from the second
story window
"Whazza mazzer?" he demanded
thickly. -.

replied the man below.

American fighters have never
been popular in London, because
Of the ease with which they have
disposed of the English champions
but as a rule the boxers from this
side of the pond have not been
jobbed out of a well earned vic
tory. Yet this is just what was
done to Packy Mcfarland the
other night, and the jobbing came
off before the National Sporting
club, the most famous boxing club
In the world.
Mcfarland met Freddie Welsh,
probably the most popular 133-
pound man In all England. For Is
of the 20 rounds the two boys box
ed, the fight was a footrace, with
Mcfarland chasing the Britisher
about the ring and punching him
at will. When Welsh did stand up
and attempt to fight, Mcfarland
was all over him like house ON
fire.
The Chicago scrapper fought
carefully. He was particular to
break clean, kept all of his blows
hight SO that by no chance could
the English referee stop the fight
to give the decision to Welsh on a
foul, and he won by long odds on
points. Every newspaper in Lon
don hailed him as the victor, but
the referee declared the battle
was a draw.
Before Mcfarland could get
Welsh into the ring with him, he
had to give In to the Englishman
on every detail of the preliminar-
les. The Chicago boy finally of.
fered to fight Welsh for nothing
lust to get a chance at him, and
Welsh took his time signing the
PARTICLES.
1t is not probable the two box
ers will meet again in England
They met twice in this country
and both bouts were called draws
but the press descriptions of theil
most receit fight show that It was
Netherlands battle all the way.
Such decisions as this one will
mot make English fighters popular
In this country. where they have
always been treated fairly and Civ
len chance to pull Off lights il
which their share Of the purss
amounts to more than they would
get By fighting every night for I
lyear in British clubs.
Engiishmen pose as beirlg grea'
sportsmen and they are. wher
their own men are winning. bu'
when the English are losing. Il Il
q different story. The American
sport lovers haven't forgot the
disgraceful conduct OF the British
officials at the London olympl,
games.
