tenth United States census, begin

city in which a native of this country
was born will not be given, and the
bureau explains that "a person born

should be reported as so born. although
at the time of birth the particular re-

BREAKFAST MENU.

Anyone who has observed the menu
literature of the past year or two has
noticed how slim the breakfasts are.
The old idea of a fat and sturdy break
fast has disappeared. Notice this one,
taken from the domestic department of
a great daily: Baker apples. vermicelli
other: Barley with bananas, buttered
toast, fish, fluff, coffee" This is lit
tie more pretentious than the first
since it introduces that fish business,
which is no doubt a souffle, wherein
the fish flesh is evolved, with the help
of beaten whites of eggs, into a light
and airy condition.
But this very item shows the tend
ency toward light breakfast. A little
fruit, toast or cereal, a cup of cof-
fee-that is the typical breakfast
Everything else is disappearing. Even
the reliable old egg, under the discour
aging high prices. Is being relegated
as superiority. And as to the break
fast bacon, that IS passe in the diet
airy of the future. VIII that meager
menu be sufficient to sustain one in
the tolls of the morning until the time
OF the noon sustenance arrives? just

A CHINESE sTRATAGEM.
Legend Of How = Projected invasion
Was Averted.

Legend OF How . Projected invasion
Was Avsrted.
Rajah Suran, who was one Of the
earliest rulers Of India. overran the
entire east with the exception of Chi
ma, killed innumerable sultans with his
own hand and married all their daugh-
tiers. 1t is said that when the Chinese
heard OF his triumphant progress and
learned that he had reached their
frontier they became much alarmed.
The emperor called a council of his
generals and mandarins. and upon the
advice of a crafty old mandarin the
following strategem was carried out:
A large ship was loaded with rusty
nails. trees were planted on the deck.
the vessel was manned by numerous
crew of old men and dispatch he'd to the
rajah's capital. When it arrived-the
most wonderful part of the story is
that it did arrive-the rajah sent an
officer to ask how long it had taken
the vessel to make the trip from China.
The Cinnamon answered that they had
all been young men when they set sail
and that on the voyage they had plant
ed the seeds from which the great
trees had grown. In corrobOrat ion Of
their story they pointed to the rusty
nails which. they said. had been stout
iron bars as thick as mans arm when
they started. You can see,. they
concluded. that, China must be very
long distance away"
The rajah was so much impressed
by these plausible arguments that he
concluded he would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
his projected invasion.

dragged in sympathy with the other
grains. Provisions were stimulated by
the advance of live hogs and figures
advanced to finish from 12 1-2c to II
1-2c higher.
A poor demand for cash wheat, cou-
pied with a steady stream of offerings
in the wheat pit. kept prices on down
grade much OF the session. May fell
off from $1.141-4 to $1.131-4 q 3-8c.
July was given the preference over
May by many traders and held it's
strength better Final figures for May
were $1.133-S a 1-2c. 5-Sc lower.
Little early demand for corn, with
big discounts for cash grain and larg-
err offerings from the interior shipping
points, kept the market weak through
out the session. May fell from &C Lac
to IS 3-Sc, the other futures declining
in sympathy. The close was weak all
around and was little removed from
the low point. Final figures fer May
delivery were IS 1-2c. 5-8c lower.
Trade in oats was sluggish. May
fell off from AZ Use to 46 3-4c the
other futures declining with it. The
close was weak with May at 46 34c
/ a 7-Sc, IA a 3-Sc lower.
A new high record for the year in
the live hog market, where the ami
mails commanded 1855, topping all pr
ces since 1870, caused a sharp advance

DOMESTIC LIFE AND MENTAL
DfSORDERS

On the same day that one of the
bachelor girls who write for newspa-
pers declared that those who would re-
strict women more generally to do
nestle occupations and surroundings
ought not to forget that the by far
largest percentage of inmates of our
insane asylums come from the ranks
of those women relegated to house
keeping exclusively" very different
opinion was expressed by Prof. Max G.
Schlapp. of New York. He declared
that women are largely to blame for
the increase in the number of suicides
and insane persons in recent years, be-
cause they have pushed out into the
various industries of nondomestic
character.
The New York professors guess may
that the bachelor girls appeal to sta
tistics will not stand analysis 1t
seems to be based on forgetfulness of
the fact that many more women give
their time and labor to housekeeping
than the whole host of their sisters
who follow other vocations Naturally,
most of the victims of insanity, or any
other disease of general distribution
through the world, come from the class
which contains the majority of all the
women in the country.
