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

in France Ihey Are Made From TOUT
 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 in length and occasionally even long CT. 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 a few instances even to six feet in length.
 Bread in Paris is distributed almost exclusively by women. These go to the various bakehouses at 5:3O a. n. 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 flats have their loaves propped up against the doors of their apartments. Shopkeep CTS, 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 ters. The wages of these bread car riers vary from 2 shillings to 2s. Cd. q day, their work being generally over at 10 or 12 o'clock in the morning. London Tit-Bits.

Weighing Machines.

Weighing machines and scales of some kind were in use 1900 B. C.. for it is said that Abraham at that time weighed out" 400 shekels of silver. current money. with the merchant to Ephron. the Hittite. as payment for d piece of land, including the cave and all the standing timber lin the field and in the fence." This is said to be the earliest transfer of land of which any record survives and in which the payment was made in the presence of witnesses. The original form of the weighing scale was probably a bar suspended from the middle with board or shell suspended from each end, one to contain the weight. the other to contain the matter to be. weighed. The steelyard was probably so called from the material of which 1t was made and from it's former length. It is also known as the Roman bal ance and is of great antiquity.

Entertainina Himself.

In Clayton Hamilton's "On the Trail of Stevenson" is this quaint passage between the boy and his nurse. Alison Cunningham:
 When little Louis was about Eve years old he did something naughty. and Dummy stood him up in a corner and told him he. would have to stay there for ten minutes; then she left the room. At the end of the allotted period she returned and said. Times up. Mas. ter Lou; you may come out now But the little boy stood motionless in his penitential corner. That's enough: times up.' repeated Dummy. And then the child mystically raised his hand and. with strange light in his eyes. 'Hush,' he said. I'm telling myself a story.'"

Nepenthe and Other Agents Were Used

 Those who imagine that surgical Knowledge began with later genera lions and that the discovery of chloro- form revolutioniZed the science should read an article published by Dr. J. de Fenton in the South African Journal of Science.
 Various anesthctizing media and methods were well known both in an- tiquity and during the middle ages. Homer mentions the anesthetic effects of nepenthe: Herodotus states that the Scythians obtained similar effects from the vapors of hemp. produced by throwing hemp seed on hot stones. A Chinese physician of the third century. R. C.. gave his patients preparation of hemp to make them insensible dur ing surgical operations.
 The most important anesthetic of an- cient and medieval times was. how ever. wine of mandra gora. the use of which is mentioned by great number of early writers and is referred to by Shakespeare. More recently. in the year 176O. the German surgeon. Weiss. better known as Albinus. amputated the foot of Augustus TIL. king of Po- land. while under the influence of man. dragora

 Following is the statement:
 ITO the Delegates to the Republican
 Territorial Convention. Seward,
 Alaska.
 The people of Alaska seem to have concluded that there ought to be an effective organization of the rerubli can as well as the democratic party in the Territory, and many of my most active friends and supporters have poined in the movement and are among your number. In view of t!seir announced intention to present my uoklis- to yooi anu DCSoooC of many rumors tending to create misunderstanding and contention hereafter I feel impelled in fair;l ess to my friends and to those who have long been my political opponents to make this public statement in ad- vance of any action on your part
 Il have not and will not enter into any combination or agreement with or against any person or faction in or out of the Republican organization for the control of patronage, in whole or in part, or at all. or for the con trol of my actions in any way what ever, as the representative of all the people of Alaska, or for any other purpose. l will not be bound by any pledge made for me without it is clearly stated in the platform or res clutions adopted by the Convention. It Seems to me there can be no suc- cessful 1nity of action or reorganiza tion of the Republican party in Alas ka without entire frankness with the men and women who do the voting, and because of that I address this communication to you in this public manner. l can better do without the nomination. or the election to Con- gress than be placed in the attitude of having betrayed either my asso- ciates or the people whom have rep resented with such freedom and con- fidence for eight years, and whom I must continue to represent with free dom and confidence, or not at all.
 "In the event of my election I pledge myself to harmony and fair dealing toward friends and past op- ponents alike, to the support of the bill which I have already introduced granting more extended powers to the territorial government, to the support of the Statehood plll, to the creation of better transportation con- ul,lons and the control and reduction of burdensome freight rates, and gen. erally to the upbuilding of the indus tries natural to our Territory and to the development of it's great natural resources free from monopoly and un- just restraint.
 ''If you nominate me upon this un- derstanding there will be but little chance for contention and disagree ment hereafter.
 Respectfully,
 JAMES WICKERSHAM."
