Thev Like Italian Bread

81 must stop and get the bread"
explained the man who was taking his
friend home to dinner as he turned off
Broadway little below Grand street
81 worked for a time in a place on
Broome street, and one Easter I took
home loaf of bread for a joke. 1t
was all covered with dough flowers
and curlicues and it looked funny, but
it tasted good and the family wanted
more. Since then I've had to take all
the bread home, for my wife insists
that it is better than other bakers
bread and she never has a touch of
her old indigestion unless she changes
to American baked bread. The bread
is baked more thoroughly and even
the freshest bread is never heavy and
pasty. 1t keeps in condition for a
week or more and so it's economical
as well. 'Dago doughnuts,' they call
them at my house, because l bring
home the circular loaves with a hole
in the center. They make a rye bread
that's good too, and entirely unlike the
German style, but our family want the
white and they want only Italian
bread. New York Sun.

In some instances, however, they were
ignited at the time of offering. In
stead of the giddy gold tip, which now
is occasionally the object of a deep
scorn, the cigarettes were girdled
with strands of white and dyed cotton

CIGARETTE AGES OLD.

DR.. Walter Hough, curator of eth
nology Of the United States national
museum, recently ran across the ciga-
rette's ancestor during the course of
some special studies and researches
on the utilization of fire founded on
the aboriginal incense burners of Mex
leo and Central America The first
cigarette, according to Doctor Hough,
was smoked in the southern Pueblo
region. 1t was made of a section of
cane tube filled with vegetable in
cense. The cigarette tube was packed
with a mixture of herbs-quite like
the modern cigarette-which, when
burnt, produced a pleasing odor, the
semblance of which to nowadays
cigarette is matter of opinion, of
course.
AS commentary on the wary judg-
ment of the ancient smoker, Doctor
Hough declares that the ancient ciga.
rette generally was not lighted, but
offered by implication as a sacrifice

HE KNEW A PECK.

Dr. S. w. Stratton, director Of the
government bureau of standards, draws
g. good salary for determining down
to gnat's eyewinker just what Is a
peck, yard or a pound. Not long
ago he paused at little grocery near
his home to buy half a peck of eating
apples. The grocer measured them
out in a square wooden box.
'That doesn't look like half-peck
measure" remarked Stratton.
"It is, though" replied the grocer,
Just that briefly.
We'll. it isn't a serious matter,
said Stratton, "but l think you're
wrong. That box looks to me quite a
bit smaller than a regulation half
peck measure.

forward with both hands on the cOun-
ter, 1--we been selling stuff by the
measure for nigh on to thirty years,

as much about such things as l do"

Stratton, and he walked out without

FINDS OLD HORSESHOE.

Fifty years ago or longer, when Sen
ator Isaac Stephenson was a young
man and the primeval woods of Wis
consin had not yet made him a mil
lionaire, a horse shoe cast in a forest
path, was hung over a branch of a
young tree and forgotten. Recently a
timber cruiser" found the shoe deep
ly inbedded in the wood, and brought
it to Uncle Ike" who promptly gave
him SO for it. Senator Stephenson
believes the shoe is of English iron,
and it is evidently hand made.
American iron was not good in
those days." he said. "In the olden
days, you know, there was a king
whose horses had four golden shoes
One was lost, and the finder was sup
posed to reap good luck with the shoe.
| suppose our fancy about good luck
and horseshoes comes from that tale.
Any way, the man who hung this shoe
IN the tree evidently remembered that
proverb, and had a kind thought for
whoever later found it."
The block of beechwood with it's
imbedded horseshoe lies on the sena-
tors desk in his committee room.

AMERICA IS THIRD
Figures in IIIiteracy Shows Ger.
many and England in Lead.
Proportion Is Smaller in the kaiser's
Realm Than in the British Isles,
But There Are Some Qualifying
Circumstances, However.

WaShingtOn.-COns without
qualifying circumstances, the latest Of
fetal reports indicate that only three
persons out of ten thousand in Ger
many are unable to read or write,
while the proportion of illiteracy in
Great Britain is $50 per 10000, as
against no per 10000 in the United
States. These figures are based on
comparison of illiteracy among some
OF the leading nations which has just
been made by the United States bu
reau of education. The bureau has
used the preliminary figures of the
1910 census for this country, and the
latest official reports available for the
Others
Although America seems to be bad
third in the comparison, the bureau
OF educatiOn's publication calls atten-
tiOn to circumstances which tend to
put a much better face upon the mat
ter. Thus the American figures in
clude the entire population more than
ten years of age, while the German
figures cover only the army recruits,
and the British statistics are based
on data drawn wholly from off icial
marriage registers. Hence the German
and British statistics deal only with
adults, and, generally speaking, with
physically and mentally normal adults,
while the United States census in
cludes without discrimination every
one above the ten-year age limit.
Again, it is pointed out, the showing
of the United States is brought down
by reason of the fact that the country
has large population of foreign-born
whites, as we'll as of colored persons,
among whom the percentage of Hitter
acy is 1913 per cent. and 30.5 per cent.
respectively. The illiteracy among
the native whites of this country is
only three per cent.
Density of population has an impor-
tant bearing on the problems incident
to bringing the children together for
purposes of education, and therefore
is an important consideration when
discussing illiteracy statistics. In this
connection the document issued by the
bureau of education shows that the
number Of inha bitants per square mile
In the German empire is more than
80, in Great Britain practically 463,
and in this country just a shade over
30. France, with population of 1915
persons to the square mile, has 11.4
per cent. of illiterates in it's popula-
tion over ten years of age. 1t should
be noted, however, according to the
bureau of education's report, that this
includes a large number of persons
who never had the benefit of compul-
sorry education laws, which were en-
acted in 1882.
The great nations of western Eu-
rope are compared with the United
States for the reason, among others.
that, like this country, they all have
Well-organized systems of public in
struction The bureau of education's
examination Of five nations of south
ern and eastern Europe shows that
the proportion of illiteracy here runs
from rs to 70 per cent "The low
est ratio for this group" says the
bureau of education's monograph, "ex-
ceeds that for the southern states of
the Union, where the greater part of
the American colored population is
