Clevedon church, which the suffra-

Henry Hallam, the historian. and Of
his son, Arthur Hugh Hallam. the
friend Of Tennyson. The epitaph on
the tablet TO Henry Hallam was writ
ten by Tennyson himself. It Is com
mendably brief: Here with his wife
and children rests Henry Hallam, the
historian" According to the present
Lord Tennyson, the poet Thought the
inscription most appropriate for the
simple and noble man. whose work
speaks for him" Within two days
Of his marriage, Tennyson visited the
church with his bride to see the last
resting place OF Arthur Hallam. 1T

REV. HENRY n. C0UDEN, THE BLIND CHAPLAIN

Rev. Henry Noble Couden, Is one OF
the best known figures in public life In
Washington. For 10 years he has
opened the daily session of the house
In the manner described. Under four
speakers he has served. Republicans
and Democrats alike have known him
as their own chaplain.
E In all his 10 years Of service he has
missed attendance at the opening Of
the house but twice, excepting, OF
course, the times when he was i'll and
furnished a substitute. On one occa-
sion his attendant forgot and left him
sitting in the lobby. On another occa-
sion a great storm detained him and
caused him to arrive late and after the
house had begun It's session. This 10
a record to be proud Of.
In many respects Doctor Couden IL
more than the mere prayer-maker Of
congress His relations to the mem
bership of the house at all times have
resembled those of the pastor Of a
church, or of a chaplain of regiment
of troops. He visits the congressional
sick, buries the dead, gives spiritual
comfort and consolation when he may
and is often called upon. Many mer
serving in congress have no church
Affiliations. To Doctor Couden they
turn naturally as their official spiritual
counselor. "

How to Keen. Bread Fresh.

DR.. J. r. Katz Of the University Of
Amsterdam has recently concluded
some interesting experiments showing
the action OF heat upon the chemical
changes which result in staleness in
bread. His conclusions are that bread
may be kept fresh for as long a period
as 40 hours II stored in a temperature
Of so degrees G. or higher. In less
heat, say from 30 to 40 degrees c., 1t
becomes half stale" in a shorter time
and at ordinary Temperatures, Of
course, stales very rapidly. The doc
tor finds, too, that an extremely low
temperature preserves the freshness
Of bread for many hours, especially II
the storage place is dry. The conclu-
sions Of THIS eminent scientist, 1t may
be added, coincide with those of the
thrifty housewife who. from time i'm
memorial, has been accustomed to
"freshen up" her bread by moistening
it with little water and then putting
1t in the oven for a few minutes.
