When the Danes Were Skinned.

In former times the Danes used to
sail up the mouths of the English riv-
ers to pillage the churches. When
they We're caught they were skinned
and their skins nailed to the door of
the church they attacked. In course
of time all the exposed portions would
peel off, but that covered by the nail
would be protected and thus bear tes-
timony to the cruelty of the ancient
Englishmen. In the London College
of Surgeons may be seen three speci
mems of human skin bearing labels
such as this portion of human skin
said to be that Of Dane from the
door of a church at Hadstock, in rs
SEX" A second specimen is from Cop
ford, In Essex. and third from the
north door Of Worcester cathedral.
Such fragments of sacrilegious Danish
hide have been found on doors in
Westminster abbey.

SPORTS
VICKSBURG SLAUGHTERED
BY HATT|ESBURG TEAM

Vicksburg, Miss, April 10-The To-
calls were slaughtered today by Hat
tiesburg by the score of 7 to 4, due to
the poor pitching of Robinson, a
southpaw who was relieved in the
fourth by Mason The latter was also
ineffective and this, coupled with six
errors, was too much for Vicksburg.
Eaton for Hattiesburg pitched we'll,
but was hit hard in the sixth when
Galloway slashed three-base hit fol
lowed by single from Mills and a
two-base hit by Hanna, which netted
three runs. Gutierrez landed beau
tiful drive over center field fence for
a home run in the seventh. Gondol-
ifs long drive to the score board was
spectacular feature.
Harb and G. Smith of the visitors
starred in fielding, especially Smith,
who robbed Brewster in the first and
Mills in the fifth of what promised to
be home runs by his panther-like
catches.

HISTORIC LOVING CUP.
Owned In Turn by Goldsmith, Garrick,
DR., johnson and Burke.

LIT. johnson ana Burke.
The famous literary society of Lon
don called the Savage club has tradi-
tional connection with Wits coffee
house and the Mermaid tavern of ear
ly days. The reader of Mr. Watson's
volume of history and anecdote relat-
ing to the club will come across in,its
pages incidental mention of things that
recall names that are famocs in our
literature. How rich in associations q
simple drinking cup may become is
shown by the following:
In 1902 there was brought to the
club most remarkable relic of which
the lord mayor of London had recently
obtained possession. This was a low
ing cup holding a pint or little more
which, as certain inscriptions testified,
was at one time the property Of Oliver
Goldsmith. On Goldsmith's death 1t
passed into the hands of David Gar
rick and thence to the possession OF
one of the literary and artistic clubs
of the day.
Then after an interval it passed into
DR.. Johnson's hands, for one of the in
scriptions engraved on its silver rim
records that it was presented to Burke
by his friend Samuel Johnson, doctor
of letters, as a memento of Johnson's
visit to Beaconsneld, which was
Burke's home. The date of the pres
entation was 1779, five years after the
death of Goldsmith and five before the
death of Johnson

ESSENS BAKERY.
Said to Be the Largest Breadnaking
Concern In the World.

Said to Be the Largest Breadmaking
Concern In the World.
The largest bakery in the wo' d is
located in Essen, Prussia, the home of
the great Krupp gun factory. 1t Is a
vast building, in which seventy work
men, divided into two shifts, work
night and day. Everything is done by
machinery, says the London Post. A
screw turns increasingly a kneading
trough, into which are poured some
water and ten sacks of flour of 200
pounds each.
This machine makes about 10000
pounds of bread each day, in the shape
of $4,000 small loaves and 25,0C0 large
loaves, produced by $50 sacks of -four
of 200 pounds each. All the operations
Of breadmaking are performed in this
colossal bakery. The wheat arrives
there, is cleaned, ground and brought
automatically to the kneading trough
by series of rising and descending
pipes.
There are thirt.. six double ovens,
and the workmen who watch over the
baking Of the bread earn from 8 to
10 cents an hour, making an average
Of 90 cents day for eleven hours
on duty. They have coffee and bread
free; also the use of bathroom, for
they are required to keep themselves
spotlessly clean and must wash their
hands eight times a day.

field job.

should work out good combination.
