Xanica and IourietA.

The great industry Of Venice S that
Of meeting the demands Of tourists.
The movements Of the foreigner, a.
they are skillfully guided and directed
by n host Of competent experts. are not
difficult to forecast It Is known that
If the foreigner arrives at the railroad
station he will take a gondola to his
hotel. He may travel in the ferryboat
or on foot all the rest Of the time. to
save money. but when he arrives hs
will take a gondola, 80 that he may
casually mention In writing home that
he stepped directly from the train into
luxurious gondola. Knowing this
popularity, the municipality Of Venice
keeps tab on the gondOla traffic from
the railroad station as a sort OF gauge
Of prosperity.-Argonaut

scott's Romantic Home.

II any other literary man ever owned
4 home more magnificent than Abbots-
ford, the romantic palace of Sir Walter
Scott, the globe trotters haven't heard
of It From everywhere in Scotland
came stones and carvings and metals to
adorn 1t, and the construction OF Alb
botsford went OH slowly and fantas-
tically. after the fashion Of rambling
cathedral. Scott became the sheriff OF
the county, the kings local representa-
tive, and delighted to have the place
always crowded with guests. The
armory and the drawing room are so
rich In curios that many visitors de-
scribe Abbotsford as the most interest
ing museum In Scotland. The novel
lists study and his library are just as
he left them. The 10000 books which
bank the walls Of these two rooms
from the floors to the beams OF the cell
ings did not lose their usefulness ut
his death. To persons with the proper
credentials they are available for cir.
culation.-C. 2. Gushing In Travel.

How Yeas. Makes Bread Rise.

In the dough from which bread IL
made there is q lot Of sugar, which
contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
1t Is necessary to ferment this sugar to
make bread edible, and yeast Is used
because it has the power to do this. II
is made from plant having this quail
ity. Fermenting sugar Is equivalent 10
burning 1t, and there are two results.
One is the formation Of carbonic acid
sas. A great deal Of this gas Is caught
in the dough In the form OF large or
small bubbles, and some Of 1t escapes
into the air. The part that cannot es-
cape causes the dough to rise and
makes the bread light. The holes In
bread are the little pockets which held
the carbonic acid gas. The effect OF
the bubbles Is to lift the body OF dough
so that the heat can penetrate readily
and bake It properly.

Unas Teee Not Deadly.

Among the long established bsf1sfD
which have In recent years been sadly
disturbed Is that Of the deadly chafae-
ter Of the upas tree. The exhalattoos
Of this tree were held to be 30 deadly
that NO animal life could survive with
IN 15O feet Of It DR.. ]. d. Gimlette, IN
Englishman, who has lived among the
Malays for eighteen years, cites q story
that when the poison from this tree =
wanted by Malay witch doctor TWEEN
ty condemned criminals are sent for Il
Usually only one or two return alive.
and these are pardoned He says that
as q matter Of fact the deadly upaS
is largely fake; that the tree may b
chopped down In safety by any oos
with a strong arm and keen az. Tho
Malay smears his creese or arrow,
says the doctor, with the inspissated
Juice Of the tree, and II the wound
Is deep enough the poison produces .
toxic effect on the heart similar to that
produced by digitalis or by strophan.
thus, q climbing vine Of West Africa,
which yields an arrow poison which
acts directly on the muscles Of tho

As for Abe, after he paid a fine Of

to bed and stayed there for two days.
During the next week the skin around
his eyes varied rhameleon-like in tones
Of purple, plum color and green, until
it gradually faded to smoky brown,
which bade fair to last for montha
Morris viewed these badges Of his

approval.
"Ain't told you, Abe" he said for the
twentieth time, "you should forget
about that silk and get down to busk
