Queer Bread.

Along the Columbia river bread is
made from kind Of moss that grows
on species Of fir trees. After being
dried it is sprinkled with water, al
lowed to ferment, rolled into balls as
big as a mans head and baked in pits,
with the help of hot stones. Travellers
who have tasted it say that it is by
no means unpalatable. The Califor-
MAN Indians collect the pollen of cat
tails In large quantities by beating it
off the plants and catching it on blan-
kets. They make bread Of it. But as
a delicacy they prefer bread Of grass.

Twin Gods of War and Melody,

How do statesmen get themselves

According to a popular German story,
the method in Bismarcks case in 1866

expert pianist and, as Sir Mountstuart

which David fulfilled toward SAUL"

MADE THE TAILOR PAY.

He Wouldn't Give Credit and the Ger
man Law Punished Him.
Law in Germany takes some odd
turns, according to a Chicago lawyer
recently back from abroad.
One case the traveller related with
amusement concerns tailor, student
and the University of Berlin. A stu
dent had ordered an evening suit from
a tailor. He already owed him money
for former orders, but promised faith
fully to pay what was coming to the
tailor, as his father had promised to
send him sum Of money. The stu
dent was to pass an examination for
government position and the suit was
to be ready the same morning and he
was to call for it and pay the bill. He
called as agreed and told the tailor he
did not have time to cash the draft his
father had sent him. but would call
after the examination.
The tailor insisted on having his
money and, not being paid, he refused
to let the student use the suit he had
ordered for the examination. The re-
suit was that the latter missed the ex-
animation. It was ascertained later
that the students father had sent him
money and that he had spent the cash
for dinner given to some friends.
Suit was brought by the father
against the tailor as being the cause
Of his sons failing to pass the exam
ination, and the university as corpo-
ration also sued the tailor for disre-
spect to it and the government in pre-
venting a German subject from enter
ing the government service through ex-
animation.
The judge held the tailor guilty in
both cases and fined him 500 marks,
at the same time expressing his pleas
ure in being legally permitted to pun
ish the defendant for "his lack Of pat
riotism and love of the fatherland."-

YELLOWSTONE PARK.

1t is with surprise that visitors to

turn after an absence Of year or
more find that many changes have &C.
CURED in the appearance Of the col
ored terraces at the Mammoth hot
springs. Indeed, such alterations Oc-
cur sometimes in a period Of a few
weeks.
The terraces consist Of a series of
basins, each set being few feet low

water from the springs at the top Of
the terraces flows from basin to basin.
depositing its chalky sediment at the
rims, thus slowly building them up.
Wherever the flow of water contin-
ues constant for considerable time
the futed edges and sides Of the ba-
sins become beautifully colored.
The variegated hues are mainly due
to vegetable matter, and so if the flow
Of water ceases these bright colors
rapidly fade, leaving the terraces milk
white. In little while the edges and
walls of the dry basins begin to crum-
BILE, and the most beautiful forms dis
appear in white dust and chalk-like
fragments.
One Of the favorite terraces at the
hot springs, called the Minerva ter
race, exhibits these changes in mark
ed degree because of its conspicuous
position.
Sometimes, owing to failure of the
flow Of water, the Minerva terrace
parts with its splendid colors and re-
sembles a set of futed basins carved
out of snow white marble. But when
the water begins to run freely again
the colors return with all their former
vividness and beauty.
The changes in the flow Of the water
seem to depend in part at least upon
conditions prevailing in the heated
rocks underlying the terraces.-Har-

For long time it was popularity
supposed that Christopher Columbus
was the first to note the declination of
the magnetic needle. In 1906, howev-
er, there were discovered three sun
dials dating from a time anterior to
Columbus first voyage and bearing on
the compasses accompanying them
lines indicating the declination Of the
needle. One Of these, found at Inns
bruck, was made at Nuremberg in the
year 1451. Not only has it an engrav-
ed line indicating the declination at the
time Of its construction, but shows
other lines indicating the changes of
direction undergone by the needle in
subsequent years. Who first noted the
declination Of the needle would appear
to be still an unsettled question.

Tho Process Of Stitching the Hairs

At a certain factory a number of
young women were working at small

only those who knew the business

table two girls were threading needles
with fine silky hairs and sewing them

ed eyebrows you may sometimes see
on the stage. They are frequently
worn by both actors and actresses.
These sewed on the net are the less
expensive kind and are only used on
special occasions. The real brow is
very expensive and can only be made
by a person of great skill.

s.r.- d: shall Ney to Death.
A saber of honor brought Marshal
Ney to dishonor and death When Ma
poleon entered Cairo on July %.
1893, he was presented with three
swords of honor richly inlaid with pre-
c1ous stones. He brought them back
to Europe, and in 1902 he gave one to
Ney and another to Murat, keeping
the third for himself.
Ney received his at an imperial re-
cept1on. The sword passed from one
to another of those present, among
whom was young subaltern Of the
AuVergne regiment. When Napoleon
escaped from Elbe Ney left the king
and took sides with his former chief.
After the allies entered Paris Ney
made preparations to get out of the
country, but his wife and friend per-
suaded him that there was really no
danger, and he decided to remain in
France. Then came the order for his
arrest. He fed to castle in the pos
session of some friends and succeeded
in reaching it without his presence be-
ing known.
One day, feeling tired, he threw him
self on couch, first taking off his orr
entail sword, which he always wore out
OF affection for the emperor. Hearing
voices, he sprang up and hurriedly left
the room, forgetting his sword A min
ute later party Of women and men
entered the room, one of them being
the young subaltern of the Auvergne
regiment, now a colonel. He at once
recognized the sword and, calling in
some gendarmes. proceeded to search
the premises.
Finding that he was discovered, Ney
gave himself up quietly. On Dec. Z,
1915, the marshal, whose sobriquet was
the Bravest of the Brave, the hero Of
a hundred battles, was shot, Scarcely
two months after the owner of the
second sword. Murat. had met his fate

Remove Four Victims Of
New Building Collapse

NEW YORK, March 1O-The bodies Of
four workmen, caught under debris
when the concrete floors of new apart
ment house collapsed, were taken from
The ruins early today.
The superintendent of construction,
John O'Brien, and Foreman Theodore
Steihis were arrested and held by the
coroner in $4,000 bail each on charges of
criminal negligence.
According to the police, the accident
was caused by the workmcn removing
the supporting crib work from the con-
crete on the eighth floor, permitting the
floor to collapse. The police think the
concrete had frozen, deceiving the work
crs into believing it had set.
