kouEao In Ba qdad.

A Bagdad house in the summer Is
fiery furnace, and no one, unless his
name be Shadrach or Meshach or
Abednego, could live within its four
walls with comfort, and yet the natives
have made a brave attempt to over
come the difficulties Of their situation.
Deep in the ground they have built eel
lars, or serdabs, and these serve as
cooling chambers. The cellars are
kept pretty dark. "The light enters" "
says one who has lived there. through
small windows, or openings, where, in
stead of glass, is placed a lattice Of
palm filed with a prickly cancels
thorn. Several times a day the occu-
pants sprinkle water on these thorns,
and the moisture cools the hot wind as
1t passes through the rooms and gives
comparatively refreshing breeze.
But toward night these cellars become
unbearably close, and then the entire
city mounts to the fat roofs, where it
dimes and sleeps. Boston Transcript.

BARLEY is strangely neglected by The
cook Of today" says writer In the
Woman's Home Companion. AS 1t
contains more starch and sugar and
less gluten than wheat, 1t might well
take the place of the potato on our ia
bles and this with benefit TO purse and
health.
zone cup Of barley will swell to five
times its original size when cooked,
and its uses are wonderfully varied.
"As a breakfast dish with sugar and
cream It is rich and satisfying; for
dinner, as a garnish for meat or with
rich meat gravy, 1t makes a savory
entree; at tea time cold steamed barley
cut in slices and Drowned In hot butter,
then served with maple strip. Is deli
cious.
Combined with dried or fresh fruits
1t makes as wholesome desserts as rice
Indeed, there is no way in which rice
may be prepared In which barley can
not be cooked with just as good re-
suits. Barley requires a long time to
cook properly, but now we have the
cereal cooker and the fireless cooker
and with them the opportunity to have
the perfect cereal"

1t is unfortunate, according to the

Some years ago Lord Haldane star
tied the house Of commons when re-
plying to a remark made by another
member as to the danger attached TO
the use OF cOrdite by saying that he
himself possessed a walking stick
made Of cordite which he sometimes
brought down to the house and left in
the cloakroOm. An uneasy look stole
over the faces of the members present,
but In a scientific and highly technical
speech his lordship explained that
cordite WAS a perfectly innocent sub
stance until brought into contact with
dangerous allies. and without certain
ingredients necessary TO convert 1t into
an explosive 1t might be handled with
IMMUNITY. At the same time 1t was
noticed that Lord Haldane's stick was
given a wide berth when It was seen In

Horses In the Time Of Homer.

we're war horses. The warriors were
drawn in chariots. The art Of riding
was known, but 1t is alluded to as
something unusual. Ulysses at the

the practice of riding was much later
