BIG LoAvEs OF BREAD.
in France They Are Made From Four
to Six Feet In Length.


The biggest loaves of bread baked
to be eaten are those made in France
and Italy. In the case of the pipe
bread of the latter country the loaves
are between two feet and three feet
I'm length and occasionally even long
er, while the French people make their
loaves In the shape Of very long rolls
OF bread, ranging from four feet to five
feet and in few instances even to
six feet in length.
Bread in Paris is distributed almost
exclusively by women. These go to
the various bakehouses at $50 a. m.
and spend about an hour in brushing
the long loaves with special brushes.
When their load is cleaned of grit and
dust the porteuse de pain goes the
round to the customers.
Customers who live In fats have
their loaves propped up against the
doors Of their apartments. Shopkeep-
ers, restaurateurs and other customers
who have entrances to their premises
in the street find their portions of the
STAFF Of life leaning against their front
doors when they take down the shut
tiers. The wages of these bread car
riers vary from 2 shillings to rs. Cd. a
day, their work being generally over
at 10 or IL o'clock in the morning

Tavern Heroes.

The Marquis Of CRANKY bears tito
that swings from many a tavern sign
board all England over. London alone
has some half dozen. Yet this popu-
lar soldier, who commanded England's
troops in Germany during the Seven
Years war, was the target of some OF
"Junius' most bitter invective. The
secret Of his popularity lay in the fact
that CRANKY was always a soldiers
general who not only led them well In
the fight, but also cared for their COM
fort In the camp. The first inn to bear
the marquis head as sign is said to
have been opened by one Of his own
guardsmen at Hounslow. Apart from
Wellington and Nelson, the marquis
comes easily first among England's
tavern heroes.-London Chronicle.

Scientists are now making war

War or no war, we note with

Be everything that you ought to,
and nothing that you ought not to,

How the Peanut Plant Protects IL

Here's a plant mother that buries
her children to protect them. While
the children Of other plants are being
kidnapped by animals and birds, these
youngsters are carefully hidden away
beneath the ground SO they can grow
In safety. But man won't permit the
mother to keep her children long. He
digs them up and eats them. The plant

It's leaves look like a four leaved
clover. It's blossoms are dainty yel-
low, shaped like those Of the sweet
pea. When they wither and fall OF
the mother plant begins TO worry about
her seed children, for If the birds and
animals kidnap them before they ripen
they won't have chance to grow and
produce more plants next year.
So she bends her stalks downward.
and each head where the flowers have
fallen OF she pokes into the ground.
There the little seeds develop inside
Of wrinkly, paper like pods. Sometimes
the little tunneling moles find them and
eat them, or maybe hogs will come
and root them out. Usually, however.
they're safe from all marauders.

You can't reform man by sug-
costing that he ought to be as good

Mexico is like unto the bad boy

ing to concede that the birth OF
practically all diseases is in filth.
Therefore, it behooves every good
citizen to lend his personal efforts to
the success of the great clean up
campaign. Typhoid is considered
the chief menace OF the summer.
Flies are more responsible for ty-
phoid fever than bad water. We
should endeavor to exterminate the

This Creature Sits on Its Mouth Dur
ing Its Entire Lifetime.
What would you think of an animal
who sat on his mouth? You would
guess he didn't know very much,
wouldn't you? Neither does he You
could call him the dumbest Of dumb
animals. In fact, he's so very dumb
that most people don't know he's an
animal at all. He's the sponge.
No, not the sponge you are acquaint-
ed with-not the bathroom kind. That's
lust his skeleton. The sponge we're
talking about is the one that lives in
the bottom Of the sea, where he sits all
day on his mouth.
In the beginning he's an egg, which
splits all up in many cells and then
ewilns around for day or two. Then
there comes a dent in one side that's
hts mouth. Soon the sponge stops
swimming and sinks to the bottom,
mouth downward. There he eats and
eats until sometimes he gets to be
three feet tall and as thick as he is
tall.
He's covered with a jellylike flesh.
When sponge fishermen hunt him to
sell they go out In boats and pun
sponges from the bottom of the sea
with long handled forks. Then they
put them on the shore to dry. After
days the jellylike flesh drops on and
the fishermen tramp the sponges with
their feet. Then they are considered
clean enough to sell. We really get
