A Wooden Balloon,

Many things have happened since
the time of the Montgolfiers, and per
haps the most remarkable of all is the
invention OF German engineer, Herr
Rettig. Instead of having for the en-
velope of his balloon silk or goldbeat-
ers' skin he has adopted wood. The
new aerostat is 100 meters long, with
diameter of 15 meters It has also
two motors. The wood used in the con.
struction of the envelope is Canadian
pine. Herr Rettig claims that he will
effect saving of gas to an enormous
extent, that his envelope will not be
affected By the suns rays. since wood
is bad conductor of the heat He
says that his envelope will hold the gas
for weeks and that he will reach con-
siderable attitudes Her Rettig de-
clares that he has solved the problem
of long distance; for instance, he will
be able to cross the Atlantic

Danger in Raw Food.

Pennsylvania health commissioner,
DR.. Dixon, is vigilant official whose
warnings are many but sensible. In
discussing the necessity of taking
every precaution to guard against ty-
phoid fever and other communicable
diseases, DR.. Dixon said recently:
There is no shutting our eyes to the
danger of eating unwashed raw fruit.
Food infected with typhoid fever by
flies caused many deaths among our
soldiers during the late Spanish-Amer.
lean war. The time and energy neces-
sary to wash raw fruit is a bagatelle
alongside of case of typhoid fever
1t is we'll to be wise in such a matter
before trouble comes, and not after.
That typhoid fever infection has been
spread by the infection of articles OF
diet eaten raw is matter of record in
this region as well as elsewhere, and
it is better to be too fussy than too
careless in such a matter.-Spring.

L. F. Martin, the man past the half
century mark who took aboard too
much booze, went to sleep in an alley
to get rid of his spree and had his
five hundred dollar diamond ring stol-
en- from his finger Monday night, left
last night for Quincy, where he will
spend week. In tonight's paper,
Martin the well groomed, attractively
dressed. more than middle aged man,
has advertised reward of fifty dol
lars for the return Of the diamond, no
questions asked, or any information
that will lead to the recovery of the
stone will be paid for with a half
hundred DUCKS"
Martin told newspaper man last
night that he came near being sui
eide Tuesday morning and had the
police not come to him, offered him
their assistance in finding the gem
which had been slipped from his
finger, he would have taken his life,
as he says the shame and disgrace on
him. his waywardness, capped by a
jolly spree and the loss of his valu-
able ring, were too much for him to
bear
Martin says he has wife in Chi
cago and that if he were dead she
would get 10. of insurance money.
He seemed very morbid when talking
and does not seem to think that he
will recover his ring but few light
hearted words put him in a jovial
frame Of mind again and he told of be-
ing in the saloon on Third street,
drinking with three companions
Two of these men Martin said he
knew. The other man he had only
been introduced to Monday evening
He is the one whom Martin suspects
of taking the diamond ring. Martin
said that he was so we'll ''jiggered"
when he left the thirst parlor that he
where he went. On the finger next to
the little one of the left hand, he has
rather sharp, vivid looking scar
about the size of the end of a pen
knife blade. Martin says that ne
could never get the ring from his
finger without forcing it with soap and
water or some other method to ac
celerate its removal and the thief who
took the circlet with the three karat
stone, must have pulled good and
hard to get it off.
Martin, who sells shoe polish fol

THE FIRST TIME ON RECORD,
6eiated Reformation In the Case Of
Sam DooIittIe.

One OF the easiest-going, most shift
less individuals that ever dritted
through life, too lazy to travel any way
except with the current, was Sam Dno-
little. Sam was born tired and never
ontgrew 1t. Being behindhand was a
chronic complaint with him, and it
nnally got so that nobody really ex-
pected anything else Of him.
In the course Of time Sam died. The
funeral arrangements had been made
and the announcement sent out, when,
owing to other engagements Of the Of
hciating clergyman, It was found nee
essary to change the time to an hour
ahead, and as a consequence the body
reached the cemetery considerably
earlier than the original schedule had
contemplated.
AS the procession entered the gate
and halted, the old gravedlgger. who
had not been notified of the change of
time. dropped his spade in surprise
and asked:
rs that Sam Doolittle you've got
there?"
Upon being assured that It was, he
shook his head obviously and croaked:
well, IL that is Sam Doolittle he
must have turned over a new leaf all

man, for over fifty years, an this ia

A Good Indian

The editor of the Churchill
County Standard has found a good
Indian and. writes as follows about
his excellent traits:
In our last issue we told of being
the possessor of an Indian skull.
We know it's an Indian skull
because the lowness of the forehead
and the redness of the bone would
denote that it once formed the back
ground for Piute visage. Of
course, my experience as skull
ologist is limited, but am sure that
Piute Indian once possessed this
skull. After receiving the skull, l
scraped off the dirt, looked it over
carefully and came to the conclusion
that it was dead. l took this pre-
caution because an Indian is not al
ways dead when he has that appear
ance. But l have the most childlike
faith and confidence in this skull.
Somehow I do not feel the slightest
distrust for this portion of an In
dams remains Live Indians do not
look half as picturesque as the en-
cravings on art calendars and other
interesting literature. The smell is
not the same, either, by long shot,
especially when the sweat secretions
are working we'll.
Nature surely balled things up
awfully when she constructed the
Indian. He has certain moral,
mental and physical eccentricities
which can only be remodeled when
he is in the condition of this Indian
of mine. True, this one ism much
of an Indian, but he suits me all
right, for the sand hill where he re-
posed so long was both disinfector
and deodorizer. This Indian, too,
mas certain traits OF character not
to be found among his brethren in
this vicinity. He never drinks forty
rod, nor can he catch the smallpox
or other contagious and infectious
diseases and thereby cause his white
neighbors grave concern. He will
never loiter around the streets, of
Fallon, sore-eyed and clothed in
filthy habiliments, brushing against
your wife or children. None of
these vices will never affect my..In-
dian for that reason l have placed
the sky-piece of this noble red man
on the highest paper shelf in the
office, where his kindly mug will
smile on delinquent subscribers and
cheer them on their way. Those
wishing to view the remains will

nlzed that some white flour SO COM
monty used is so lacking in nutriment
that they have forbidden any more to
be turned out at the mills. Be care
ful that you do not buy any Of the old
stock.
Then, too, If you are just learning
70 Keep house, you may not know that
there Is bread -four and a some
what more starchy and less glutinous
pastry flour. Be sure to buy the
hread Hour. You may distinguish 1t
both by its slightly yellowish appear
ance, and by its granular, rather than
powdery feel. Then, too, it does not
cake when squeezed in the hand, as
does the pastry -four.
Many excellent compressed yeasts
can now be had, and 1t Is perhaps not
worth while for woman who can get
1t fresh to make her own. You will
require one pint of scalded milk, one
tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoon
hi Of salt, one-third cake of COM
pressed yeast, and, of course, enough
-four to make stiff dough. Be sure
to measure the milk after Il has been
scalded.
Put the sugar. salt and scalded
milk into large mixing bowl or
bread pan, stir ur::l the sugar is dis
solved and the milk lukewarm; then
add the yeast, which has previously
been softened in little water. Final
ly, stir in the -four until you have a
doughg stiff enough 10 fold easily.
Now mold 1t for a minute or two to
give 1t shape, as well as to more thor
oughly mix the ingredients, and then
set 1t to rise in room Of 70 degrees
Fahrenheit. Cover it closely with an
old tabiecloth, that the top may not
dry out, and leave it in peace for
eight hours. Most people like to put
their bread to rise over night, mixing
1t late In the evening and baking It
the first thing in the morning. Or one
can mix 1t in the morning and bake 1t
just before dinner.
If 1t has not risen sufficiently in the
allotted time 1t is a sign that the room
was not warm enough during some
portion of the time of rising. On the
other hand, too warm a room or too
long a period of rising will sour the
dough. The proper amount Of rise is
just double the original bulk.
Before baking, knead the dough for
five minutes on n bread board, to dis.
tribute the large bubbles and so make
the bread finer grained. Mixing
knives are now more generally used
than ones fists for this operation.
Lastly, shape it into loaf by doubling
the edges under again and again until
you have a smooth. oblong mound.
place 1t in an oiled baking pan, let 1t
rise quickly in warm place until 1t
again doubles itself, and bake in an
oven which Is hot at first, but which
gradually decreases in temperature,
for All hour and a quarter.
The recipe I have given Is for one
very large loaf. It is easy enough to
double or treble It If you want to
bake more at one time.
The kneading should be done very
gently. II you knead 1t too hard. the
bread will be heavy.-Bostou Herald.
