Curious Breads.

Every nation has bread that is
typically it's own. In one, oat flour is
used, in another wheat, or RICE, or cas-
sava, and the shape varies from the
dishlike Scandinavian bareback that
has hole in the center for conven-
fence in racking them away on poles
in the farmhouse, to our own plump
brown loaves that come out of the
oven in the well-known form. The odd
shape Of some of these foreign breads
and the strange uses to which they
are thereby adapted have been des.
cribed in Forest and Stream by L. Lo-
dian.
The bread of the Balkans, curiously
made in the form of chains, is sold
from the arms and necks, of itinerant
peddlers. In tent life in Bahama the
detached links are often used for fun
at quoits or serve more useful pur-
pose in suspending temporary curtains
and awnings. Then, when the camp
ers run out of provisions they literally
eat their curtain rings! The japanese
bamboo bread, SO named from its
shape, is somewhat similar product.
1t is sliced and sold in strings.
The sun-dried bread sheeting of cen
trail Asia looks much like chamois
leather, and is made up in pieces of
bed sheet size. 1t is compounded from
flour and raisin syrup, and is highly
esteemed by coffee drinkers. In the
bazaars of the califates it is frequently
seen hanging in place of awnings to
shield the stalls from the sun.
One of the strangest crackers comes
from Russia. 1t is known as fit-the.
mouth begl. and, besides being much
appreciated as a tea-biscuit, is quite
commonly used by merchants ignorant
of the three RS as a makeshift abacus
in counting money! lower string of
ten serving for copecks and an upper
string of the same number represent
ing roubles. More picturesque still is
it's usage as an extempore ring for
marrying poor peasants with whom
the gold ring is lacking.
Most singular of all, however, is the
peculiar pit bread of China, which, in
stead of being baked, is Numbered out
in narrow strips with hot iron, much
in the manner that collar receives
it's finishing. It is made from the
central tissue of the fatsia trees, and
is valued highly by the citizens of the
"fowery republic" as dainty cracker
to eat with their little cups of watery,
unsweetened tea.

Marriage Doesn't Reform.

Men can't be reformed by marrying
them, says Miss Agnes M. Mulry of
the New York domestic relations
court.
Her statement is based on the sto-
ries of marital unhappiness she listens
to, for she interviews from Is to 100
unhappy women every day. Speaking
of her experience, she says:
Handicapped is the word. Wife
hood handicaps any woman who would
change mans natural bent.
'In all my experience have known
but one case of man reformed
through marriage, and that was large
ly because of the mans own rare in.
telligence and a new ambition. Wom-
en- can make men do much for them
while the pursuit is on, so to speak;
that is, before marriage. But rarely
can miracle be accomplished when a
woman is handicapped by wifehood.
"The affinity evil is growing. Mar
riage is daily getting to be a harder
field for the plain house-mother who
has no money. There are so many
cheap amusements nowadays, for one
thing, where men see little that fos-
ters the domestic trend of their ma
lures.
$50 many topics are now discussed
that even the humble working people
who used to be satisfied with their
work and their home life find the mar.
row horizon irksome.
Temptations are thicker than ever
before, and moral standards more lax.

cases of non-support of aged rela-

The Rosary Life.

Have you ever-on your way home
from work-stepped into the church to
say your rosary? How quiet it is!
The tabernacle lamp CLOVIS like that
your soul is alone with God. How
small worldly things seem to us then!
How easy it is to pray, to pour out
ones heart in supplication or thanks.
giving. How much, alas! in suppli-
cation and how little in thanksgiving!
Has it ever occurred to you that
the rosary is very much like life?
The mysterious joyful, sorrowful, and
glorious, may be likened to youth, ma
turity and old age. In youth all things
are bright and full of promise. There
is the Annunciation, the Visitation and
the Nativity. The first hint of sorrow
is found in the presentation; the
prophecy of Simeon; and the loss of
the Child Jesus. Yet, in youth, the
sorrow was soon forgotten in the awe
of redemption and in the joy of res
toration.
In maturity we realize that the
world is a battlefield and the cares of
life press heavily upon us. Each heart
has it's own Gethsemane when it prays
that the 'Chalice may pass away" but
how few of us say with our dear Lord:
Nevertheless, not as will, but as
Thou wilt" Are we not scourged by
passions and the frailties of our poor
human nature; with the sting of every
day trifles whose very smallness
makes them harder to bear? Does not
conscience crown us with thorns when
it makes us realize how sinful, weak
and unfaithful we have been? Each
one carries daily cross beneath
which we fall many times. And have
we not some small share in Mary's
anguish on Calvary when we kneel at
the death-bed of our loved ones?
In our old age we find our recon-
pense. We rise above worldly things
We have borne the heat and burden of
the day, but now that evening has
come we put aside the garments of
folly and ascend to the state where
we are worthy to receive the gifts of
the Holy Ghost. Purified and sancti-
fed, our souls like our Lady's body,
will be assumed in heaven; and-our
crown.
The days and years slip by; we pass
through Joy and sorrow; sorrow and
Joy, telling each bead in the rosary Of
life until the weary soul is released
and goes to it's account. y
o, blessed Rosary! Thou art dear
to all the world because thou art our
Lady's own. Rich and poor, learned
and ignorant, saint and sinner find
comfort in thy beautiful prayers

Fever holds the woman low;
Children wander free to play
When and where they will today;

Household screws are out of place,
Lacking one dear, patient face;

Hands that knew just what to do,

N.Y.GOVERNORTO
OPPOSE RACING;
CAME IS DEAD

n LBANY. y. Y. Jan. 2S.-Horse
n racing in New York state will
never be revived under the ad-
ministration Of Governor Sulzer.
The turf game, with its attendant
gambling at the big tracks, is n
dead issue so far as the executive
is concerned.
The governor has let it be under
stood that he viii not stand for
any change in the present law. He
has issued his ultimatum, and is
prepared to veto any legislation to
re- establish the sport of kings"
should such action become neCeS-
sary to preserve the present order
of things.
1t was hoped by the racing inter
ests that more lenient legislation
might follow the annual report of
the state racing commission. This
body recommended to the new gov
ernor repeal of the directors la
bility law This law holds respon-
sble the directors and owners OF
race tracks for any betting on com
petition within their gates. II is a
very stringent statute, which has
successfully stamped out gambling.
II makes wagering of the accepted
race track type criminal Offense.
Following the report Of the state
racing commission, those who were
interested in the cause Of horse
racing had prepared TO have intro
duced a bill which would have
amended the directors liability law.
Legislators and legislative leaders
who have familiarized themselves
on Governor Suffers private opin-
ions have already advised against
any attempt TO change the existing
laws
There now appears little likel-
hood of any attempt at new legis-
lation on the subject As a result
of the report of the state racing
commission, change in the per-
sonnet OF this body is anticipated.
The commission is appointed by the
governor.
