TABLE DELICACY VI GERMANY
WestphaIfan Ham Is Glvsn Its PIquant

Wherever a German table delicacy

Juniper berries in smoking the meat

the past several centuries, OF two

Ancient Mural Decorations.

1t Is probable that the earliest wall
paintings were those Of the Egyptians,
Those people employed a distemper
containing dissolved gum, and their
principal pigments were white chalk
a vegetable yellow, ochers. Ethiopian
cinnabar. blue powdered glass stained
with copper and charcoal black. The
walls Of Assyrian and Babylonian
dwellings were treated in much the
same way. and the practice Of painting
on walls coated with plaster was GER
tainly in vogue in Assyria. 1t has been
believed that the Greeks understood
true fresco work. apparently on the
strength OF phrase occurring in Plu.
tarch. "to paint on a wet ground" vi.
truvius also speaks Of a wet ground
and says that colors placed upon a
surface so prepared are permanent,
which certainly is characteristic Of
true freSco work.-Harper'A

When EnqIand Needed Bread.

England was once on the verge of a
bread famine. That was In 1900. when
the wars with France combined with
a succession of bad harvests to plunge
the country into state Of general des-
titution. "A law was enacted" writes
Mr.. F. w. lakewood, prohibiting the
sale OF bread till it had been out Of the
oven at least twentyfour hours Food
was so scarce and dear that portion
OF the population refused to starve In
silence, ard rioting broke out in many
parts Of England. The acts against
forestalling and regratIng'- Is, an
ucipating the markets so rs to raise
the price Of foodstuffs--were rigorous
ly enforced. A royal grant of $500
was made to one Thomas Toden, to

A CITY OF CHANGE,
Ephesus, Once on the Seacoast, Is Now
Located Far Inland.

Sir William Ramsay characteriZes
Ephesus as the City of Change" And
truly 1t has seen marvellous changes
and its inhabitants many removals. In
the days of st. Paul and st. John Eph-
esus was city of the seacoast; the
waters Of the Aegean Tapped its busy
wharves. Now the traveller to Ephesus
can scarcely imagine that he is near
the sea To all appearances he is as
Tar away as on one OF our inland prai-
ries. The CaySter during all these ages
has brought down mud and silt from
the mountains until now Ephesus is
miles from the seashore. Even in st.
johns time the port was kept open
only by strenuous effort and constant
dredging.
These changes wrought by nature
have compelled frequent changes on
the part of the inhabitants. The orig
inal city was built not far from Ayaso.

he would have been drowned. A

is little question that. II this swim

modern methods have been revived,
and would thus apparently have been
brought back from death TO life.
Many drowned persons have thus
been restored after all consciousness
had departed from them.

Does Consciousness Exist.

When the man Is profoundly asleep
or In a state of suspended aniyna
ton, as In drowning, are the parts
of his body which still retain a kind
Of life separately conscious OF that
life? We have no reason to suppose
that they are; but. Oh the other
hand. we have no means Of proving
that they are not. II such conscious
ness exists. IL has no apparent rela-
tion to the consciousness Of the
whole individual. which assures him
that ne is living. He has that con-
sciousness only when his entire sys-
tenn Is working together, and IN such
a way to stimulate the activity OF his
brain.
Some very interesting experiments
have been tried. recently, with sus-
pended animation. At Moscow Pro
fessor Bakhmetieff has played boldly
with the life OF many animals and
insects by freezing them.

Tenacity Of Toads.

stories have been printed OF Its AL
legged ability 10 pass hundreds OF years
Enclosed In tree trunks, and even IN

lists and biologists are disposed TO
question these accounts, suggesting
that some overlooked means OF obtain

But 1t seems probable. that the toad
exceeds all other well-known animals
in It's power OF dispensing with the
ordinary means OF sustaining life.
