FOOD OF PEASANTS
Substitutes for Bread Eaten by the
Poorer Classes of Europe

From the London Globe.
In various parts of the world the poorer
classes consume little or no bread. Baked
loaves of bread are practically unknown
In portions of southern Austria and Italv
and throughout the agricultural districts
of Rumana.
Austrians aver that in the village of
Obersteirmarl, not very far from Vienna.
bread is never seen. The staple food is
sterz. a kind of porrldge made from
ground beechnuts, taken at breakfast with
fresh or curdled milk, at dinner with
broth or fried lard and at supper with
milk. This dish Is also called heiden, and
Is substituted for bread not only in the
Austrian district mentioned. but In Carin-
thia and other parts of the Tyrol.
Northern Italy offers a substitute for
bread in the form of polenta, which is a
kind OF porridge made of boiled grain.
Bohemia Is not, however. allowed to gran
ulate like Scotch porridge or the Aus
TRAN sterz. 1t Is instead boiled into a
solid pudding. which is cut up and por-
toned out with string. II is eaten cold
as often as il is hot and is In every sense
an Italians daily bread.
There is a variation of polenta called
mamaliga. the favorite food of the poorer
classes in Rumania. Mamaiga resembles
polenta inasmueh as 1t Is made of boiled
grain. but II is unlike the former in one
respectable grains are not permitted to
settle into a solid mass. but are kept dis
tinct after the fashion OF oatmeal por-

ALL WANT CANNON

Washington, August 19.-Senators de-
manded cannon today and got them. There
were cannon to right of them, cannon to
the left of them, cannon ahead of them,
but the only ''volleying and laundering
that was done was the laundering of SEN
ators for more cannon. All of the troubles
of the waning session were forgotten in
the getting of the guns.
Senator OGorman caused the trouble
when he called up a bill granting con-
demned cannon to so towns throughout
the country to be placed In public grounds.
No sooner had the bill been read than
there arose a chorus of MIR. President
from the floor. After several senators had
been granted cannon for their states, John
Sharp Williams arose and drawled:
I'D like a cannon for some place in
Mississippi to be designated later
There won't be enough cannon to &C
around remarked Senator Marine
I'VE want to shoot some down In Ken
lucky" declared Senator Bradley.
Two cannon suitably trimmed for Ian
caster, KY" read the clerk
Didn't say l wanted them trimmed, .
said Bradley, but he accepted the "out-
fit of cannon balls when the term was
explained.
The bill finally disposed of some 105 can.
