Martial Law.

Martial law, which was proclaimed
lately over the greater part of South
Africa, has not been known in Eng
land for considerably over a century
and has seldom been employed in the
empire.
Yet its validity in times of domes-
tic trouble and war is recognized by
clause from the petition of rights
inserted in the army act which the
British parliament passes every year.
Essentially, martial law means that
the ordinary law is suspended, be-
cause it is too cumbrous and slow, in
favor of summary judgment in times
of great stress.
The last occasion it was proclaimed
in London was the Gordon riots in
1880, and the Jacobite rebellions of
IT'S and 1745 brought about the same
state of affairs throughout Great Brit
ain.

How old is bread? Disgruntled
hoarders may have theories upon t,s
age Of the particular bread served TO
them, but that is beside the question.
So long as records of civilized n
go back bread has been the staff ot
life. 1t is somewhere in the history OF
prehistoric man that man first learned
to grind his grain, make dough and
bake it on hot stones.
In the time Of neolithic man, when
one branch Of humanity for defense
drove piles In the edges of Swiss lakes
and built huts on their tops, bread was
made. That much at least is certain.
These stone age progressives had
learned to reap grain and probably to
cultivate it In rude way. They pos
sessed wheat of several varieties. bar
ley, rye and other kinds. Curiously
enough, two of these prehistoric varie-
ties are still cultivated in Switzerland.

Wild Deer Bee Food.

Starving and exhausted chamois,

descending from their mountain fast
nesses in the Canton of Grisons and
the Swiss Tyrolese frontier Alps into
the villages, practically begging for
food and with all fear lost.
On these mountains the snow lies
six feet deep and the cold has been
intense. Even above Arosa and Klos-

while near Davos a large stag was
discovered in a stable.

BEST BOOKS TO READ IN BED
Serious Literature Should Be Selected
Novels Too Apt to Leave the
Brain Excited.

Why is it that the habit of reading
in bed it so often condemned? Surely
1t is only taking ones recreation in
the pleasantest possible way, and that
Is what we all strive after if we do not
always attain it.
Taken in the right way It Is an ex-
cellent cure for insomnia, but taken
in the wrong way it forms an insidi-
Gus root for that disease.
The fundamental point is to choose
ones bed books with as much care as
one would expend in selecting house.
Nobody should read novel in bed
If they wish to pass sound. undis-
turbed night. The incidents of the
story force themselves into our mind
until we become an actor In the tale
itself, and eventually wake with a
brain that has had no rest.
Then, again, a good novel Tor for
that matter a bad one) tempts us to
go on reading until we have reached
the end and know the best Cor the
worst).
Then the noxious influence begins
to work, for no person, even the most
clear-headed, can read a novel of the
usual length at one sitting, and feel
better in mind for doing SO. Modera-
ton extends to reading as to every
thing else, and those who like to
take their literature In gulps are rare
ly able to appreciate its finer quail
ties.
My own opinion is that the best bed
books are those which are usually
classed as serious works" Under this
heading come essays, "reminiscences.

overcome colds, nervousness or general

unauthorized nourishment in SCOTS
Emulsion is e1ninently better, but refrain
from taking it because they fear it may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This is mistaken idea, because 81 s
Emulsion first strengthens the body before
making flesh. Its blood forming proper

building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed only by its continued use.
