Bread In Sheets
the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The preparation of bread in sheets
hardly thicker than sheet of paper Is
. real art among the women of the
Mokf Indians of our western deserts.
A corner in the principal room" of the
Indian habitation is set aside for the &C
commodation of a shallow trough, walled
III with slabs of stone set on end. The
trough is divided into three compart-
ments. and in these the first process of
bread making takes place.
when bread Is to be made squaw or
Indian girl kneels behind each compart-
ment Shelled corn is them put on the fiat
stone In the first compartment, and with
q coarse, oblong stone the first woman
proceeds to rub It. Then coarse meal
thus prepared is passed on to the next
compartment. Here again IT is rubbed
with a stone less coarse and passed on
to the third stage. The result is de-
cidedly houry meal.
With a brush which is made of dried
grass bound together with string of
calico the meal is then gathered up and
mixed with water to a thick batter.
Then is shown the art of the baker.
She takes a single handful of the batter
and spreads 1t over a long, fiat stone,
under which a fire has been for some

time burning The batter is made to
cover thinly the entire surface.
When one side Is baked she takes the
bread by a corner and pulls 1t off dex-
terously, turning the other side up.
When it is done a long, fiat basket re-
ceives it, and the baker turns the edges
up all around, so that the air can get
at It Sheet after sheet is baked until
the basket is piled high with the blue
bread or ''piki." which the baker pro-
nounces ''poka."
No salt is used IN the batter, and the
piki has a sweetish taste. 1t is usually
blue partaking of the color of the corn
from which it is made. 1t is eaten dry
OF in a sort of soup. When the men go
on a journey they take piki made in
rolls, very much as one would roll up a
sheet of wet paper. the bread being the
same thickness as the paper.
The stones upon which the bread is
baked are prepared by the old women of
the tribe with great secrecy and much
ceremony. They are very valuable and
are handed down as heir1ooms from
mother to daughter.
The first stages in the process is the
smoothing and filling of the surface of
the stone with hot pitch. It is then
smoked and rubbed for many days, with
an accompaniment of rude chanting AS
far a white man may know, the first

N THE span
OF ONE LIFE
Vast Changes That Julia Ward
- Howe Saw
IN NEW YORK CITY
When She Was Born. OF Years Ago,
the Society Center Wns
Down Near the
Battery
IN NEW YORK CITY
From the Kansas City Times.

From the Kansas City Times.
Looking over the immense territory
covered by the present day New York and
considering the distance between the Bat
terry and Manhattan's fashionable resi-
dence quarter, it appears incredible that
the changes which have obliterated all
the marks of social distinction from Low
er Manhattan and pushed the outer edge
of the social circle up toward the north
erik limit of Central park could have
been crowded into single life.
To state that Julia Ward Howe, who
died on Monday at the age of 81, was
born on Marketfield street, not far from
the Battery, is but to emphasize the re-.
markable. changes that have made this
city the wonderful place it is in a COM
paratively short time as the age of
cities is reckoned.
Few knew the streets Existence
Marketfield street is still on the city
map--a little thoroughfare off Broad
street, just below Beaver street. But
1t is seldom mentioned nowadays and
very few persons knew of its existence.
When Julia Ward. daughter of Samuel
Ward, was born there in 1919, 1t was
still a fashionable residential section
The vicinity of Broadway and Park
Place, however. was already a serious
rival, and In less than ten years had
attracted many of the first families of
the city. Mayor Hone. DR.. Eleazar Parm-
ly and John Ward, brother of Samuel
Ward were among its residents
Park Place. In it's turn, lost its vogue,
its best days being from 1880 to 1910.
In the late 30s it began to feel seriously
the influence of the '.northward move
ment,' of which we still hear so much
Broadway, about Great Jones and Bond
streets, was becoming a fashionable sub
urb. The best people of the town were
again moving north. Samuel Ward was
one of the pioneers In 1888. Mayor Hone
and the Parmlys came three or four
years later
Once the City's Finest Home
The old Ward mansion and picture
gallery. which form an old picture, oc-
cupied the northeast corner of Broadway
and Bond streets 1t was built in 1893
by Julia Wards father. and was one of
the finest of the city's houses of that
day. 1t covered rs feet on Broadway
and about the same depth on Bond street
A garden and stables In the rear extended
100 feet to an alley.
Mr.. Ward had bought the entire block
from his partner. Joseph Sands, for
about $4,000. On the opposite south
east corner was a coal yard,s.which Mr..
Ward bought in 1895.
Sold Later for Half Million Dollars
The coal yaro. was not an attraction
and Mr.. Ward wanted neighbors. So he
tempted DR.. Parmly by offering him the
lot at cost price, $4,000. DIR. Parmly

Robert Edison was moralizins and

approving fashion.

Croydon Four Corners. One day he set
off to New York to buy a lot of goods.
The goods were shipped Immediately,
and as Bill had fingered In New York
sightseeing, they reached Croydon Four
Corners before him.
1.-The goods in an enormous packing
case. were driven to the general store
by the local teamster. Mrs. Sprague
with a shrek tottered and nearly fell.
"Oh. what's the matter. aam? cried
the hired girl.
MRS Sprague. her eyes blinded with
tears, pointed to the packing case,
whereupon was stenciled in large, black
letters: Bill inside!"

in 1888 for Bond street. The Parmly
houses remained, slightly altered for bus
mess, until October, 1903 The land that
DR.. Parmly paid $1,000 for in 1888. was
bought by his grandson in 1903 for $250000.

FAIRFIELD

There was no rush of dissatisfied tax payers to the Town hall Tuesday, tc implOre the Board of Relief to reduce assessments. Possibly a dozen citizens dropped in to talk over matters. Mo- body considers an increase of $10O, ,0O( anything remarkable, when it is re- membered that Grasmere has been cut up into house lots, and that large addi- tionS have been made to the Aluminium Foundry.
 A number of our citizens went to Westport on Tuesday to listen to the l address made by Rev. MT. Backus, at dhe Staples High school, on Founders day. He gave very interesting talk full of personal "reminiscences of MT. Staples. The young ladies in the class of domestic science furnished a lun- cheon.
 Arrangements are being made at the Pequot library for lecture to be giv- en on the evening of the 12th inst.
 There is now on exhibition at the Pequot, more than 100 beautiful photo graphs of the Land of Evangeline,' D in Nova Scotia, the scene of Longfel- lows poem.
 There was a brisk runaway on Tues day between the hours of and 5 D. m., of team of gray horses belong ing to Mrs. J. K. Robinson of Green field hill. The driver left them stand ing in front of Gou1d's grocery store, and a passing trolley frightened the animals and they started on a run for home, going under the railroad bridge by the Rubber works and rushing up Mill Plain road as far as the resi- dence of Simeon Bradley. At this point Edward Thomas, who had been at the Bradley house, saw the team and man. aged to stop the horses.
 It was reported in town yesterday that Postmaster Pickett is a victim of the grip. The curtains were drawn at his office and he was confined to the house.
 Something like 9 ladies met at Mrs. Burrs on Tuesday at the meeting of the D. A. R.'s. Papers on Virginia during the Revolutionary war were read By Miss Emma F. Wakeman and Miss Warehouse. Refreshments were served.
 A. c. Wyrtzen has quite recovered from his attack of blood poisoning.
 Tuesday evening G. l.. Smith enter tained his Sunday school class of young men,
 Misses Amy and Elsie Jennings re- ceptly visited the Wilbur family on LenoX avenue, Bridgeport.
 Miss Margaret Garry of Stratford, is the guest of Miss Ethel Hotchkss.
 There will be a meeting of the Book Committee of the library next Fri day.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-02-03

The selectmen and Supt. Chapman have had talk about the proposed Barnum avenue trolley line, but it is said no definite conclusions have been reached. This seems a little dilatory, but the public patience has not as vet reached the breaking point As to the East Broadway switch or turn, it IS admitted that there is room enough on Fountain square, and possibly the fountain will not have to be moved from it's present position. If it is a more ornamental one might be put up and the present stand pipe consigned to the junk heap.
 Not a ground hog was seen in town all day yesterday
 It is thought work on the new gate for Union cemetery will begin early in the spring.
 March 9th is the date set for the sailing of Elliott w. Peck, Mrs. Peck, Miss Dorothy Peck and Mrs John T. Sterling, for the holy land. A few weeks after the sailing some very in- terestisg letters from that part of the world may be expected from MT. Peck's facile pen.

JEWISH POPULATION
 AND SYNAGOGUES
(From the American Hebrew1

(From the American Hebrew.)
 In 1906 there were, according to the census, 1,769 Jewish congregations in this country. Each of these may be said to have had an average member ship of 450 persons, according to the bulletin. In other words less than S000 900 Jewish men, women and chil- dren were connected with Jewish con- gregations.
 But in 1906 it may be conservatively estimated that there were certainly no less than 1,600,OOO Jews in this coun- try, and that more probably there were 100000.
 What religious connection had these hundreds of thousands of Jews who were connected with no congregation It would appear that one-half if not more of the Jews of this country have been lost by the synagogue.
 Now, the figures may not be so large as these indicate. There are more than 1769 Jewish congregations, but there are very few more apparently. A great many orthodox also worship in the chevras, and these evade the ob- servation of the statistical inquirer Nevertheless these figures indicate fair ly that the synagogue is not holding Jews as much as it could.
