CURIOUS BREADS.
Some Old World Makes Serve as Cur.
tain or Wedding Rings.

tain or Wedding Rings.
Every nation has a bread that is typ
ically its own. In one oat flour is used
in another wheat or rice or cassava,
and the shape varies from the disklike
Scandinavian hardtack that has a hole
at the center for convenience in pack
ing them away on poles in the farm
house to our own plump loaves that
come out Of the oven in the well known
form.
The bread Of the Balkans, curiously
made in the form of chains. is sold
from the arms and necks of itinerant
peddlers. In tent life in Balkania the
detached links are often used for fun
at quOitS or serve more useful pur-
pose in suspending temporary curtains
and awnings. Then when the campers
run out of provisions they literally eat
their curtain rings. The japanese bam-
boo bread, so named from its shape, is
somewhat similar product 1t is
sliced and sold in strings.
One of the strangest of biscuits comes
from Russia. 1t is known as fit the
mouth biscuit and besides being much
appreciated as a tea biscuit, is quite
commonly used by merchants ignorant
of the three RS as a makeshift abacus
in counting money-a lower string Of
ten serving for kopecks and an upper
string Of the same number represent
ing rubles. More picturesque still Is
its usage as an extempore ring for
marrying poor peasants with whom the
gold ring is lacking.-London Tele-

CAUSE OF SHADOWS.

And Why They Are Darker In the
Night Than In the Daytime.
Where anything through which rays
of light cannot pass intercepts the light
rays coming from luminous body the
light rays are turned back in the direc-
tion from which they come and the
part on the other side Of the object
which intercepted the light goes into
shade and a shadow results.
A shadow then is produced by cut
ting off one or more light rays. We
notice shadows when the sun is bright
In the daytime and at night when we
walk along the streets lighted partly
by street lamps.
The shadows we see in the daytime
are caused by our cutting off and
throwing back some Of the light rays
which come from the sun. These are
not so dark as the shadows We see at
night because the rays Of light from
the sun are so bright and are reflected
from so many other objects to the side
and In back Of US.
When, however, we are walking along
a dimly lighted street and come to a
street lamp the shadows our bodies
cause are quite black. The night shad-
.ows are darker because the source of
light Is less intense and the objects to
the side of and In back Of us ff we are
walking toward he ljeltl do not refIoet

Customers of hair dressers at one
time were i'm danger of having to pay
a forfeit as well as their fee when en-
tering the BARRIERS shop. Until half a
century ago some BARRIERS still kept q
list of rules hanging in their shops
chiefly concerning swearing. seeking to
be served out of turn, etc.-the penalty
for breaking which was the price of a
pint of ale. The antiquity Of the prac-

Moro Method of Warfare.

In the southern part of the Philip.
pines is a large mountainous island,
covered for the most part by wide ever
green forests. The inhabitants of this
region are different tribes of Moros, a
war loving and seafarlng people, who
were the bikings of the Philippine
seas before the Spanish occupation of
the Islands.
So much do these people love wal
and adventure, that even in their
amusements they have what is called
the "Moro War Dance. The most
skillful fighter and murderer becomes
the leader of the tribes The rulers
are graded according to the lumber OF
individuals they have killed. One who
has killed the most in a certain tribe
becomes the sultan of that tribe.
Others who have killed a smaller num-
Der become the datus who are subordi
nate to the sultan. Then come the
common warriors who compose the
greater part of the tribe. The Mo-
hammedan religion encourages them tc
like war. 1t teaches that the killing of
a Christian or an enemy is not sin but
an honorable act.
In times of peace or truce the Moros
employ part of their time in making
weapons. These consist of bows and
arrows, spears and bolos. They have
three kinds of arrows; the war o,
poisoned arrow, the hunting arrow anC
the arrow used in target practice. The
war arrow is different from the rest ir
that it has three sharp steel points.
The people have very peculiar way
of preparing their war arrows. First
they take a fresh deer's liver and put
it in pot; next they catch a very large
and venomous serpent alive, place its
head in the pot and tie it firmly to the
mouth of the urn and have the rest
of the serpent's body outside. They
make the serpent angry by beating it.
The suffering reptile will naturally
sting the liver inside the pot which
causes it to be infected with deadly
poison. When they are sure that the
snake has thrown out all of its venom,
they carefully take up the vessel, cover
it tightly and bury it in the ground.
After two months, or when the time
for war array arrives, they take the
pot out and dip into it the newly made

A DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT

A single feature of the modern
public school commencement
deserves popular discouraging;
we refer to an ever increasing
tendency to make it more and
more closely conform to the eX-
pensive commandments so
common in boarding schools and
colleges. The result of this is
to make many students shrink
from taking part in exercises,
the expense Of which they cam
not help to share without un-
duly burdening others. Few
commandments receive more
favorable comment than DO
those of the State Normal
School, where it is a require
ment that each young lady
graduate shall make her own
commencement gown. 1t the
programs issued were evidences
Of skilled handiWork among the
students instead of expensive
samples of the engraver's art,
they would be pleasing souve-
Mrs of students training, and
would be genuine treasures over
which to muse in later life; and
the child's performance on the
piano, the violin or the harp
would outstrip in it's innocent
beauty the more elaborate efforts
Of the city orchestra.
Everything should be done on
this occasion to make the day
equally winsome and happy to
all participants, regardless of
class distinction or financial in
equality.

MEETING OF TAX OFFICIALS

The State Tax Commission of
Maryland has sent out invitations
to all of the boards of County
Commissioners, to the Attorneys
of the Boards and to the Clerks
to the County Commissioners, be-
sides the Supervisors of Assess
ments in each county and to the
Assessors in towns, urging upon
them the importance of attend
ing the conference in Baltimore
at the Court House on Thursday,
July 9th, at 10 o'clock in the
morning. The Mayors and the
Members of Councils of all the
incorporated towns in Maryland
have been asked to attend the
conference and it is expected
that not less than two hundred
persons will be present. A ses-
sion will be held in the afternoon,
beginning about 2 o'clock, after
a luncheon rendered by the Com
mission for those attending the
conference. Governor Harring-
ton will be present and make an
address.
At this conference it is pro-
posed to outline plan for a gen.
eral reassessment of the State
of Maryland, to be conducted by
the Board Of County Commiss-
toner's under the direction and
supervision Of the State Tax
Commission, according to a fixed
and uniform plan applicable to
all the counties of Maryland and
in order to bring about an equit-
able and just equalization of as
sessments. Information on file
with the Commission shows that
the reassessment of 1910 created
many inequalities in several
parts Of the state. In the inter-
vening six years in some locali-
ties property has materially in
creased in value and in others
values have remained stationary,
while in a few isolated cases
values have retarded.
Maryland has enjoyed a period
of unusual prosperity in its farm
products and this, in connection
with the large expenditure of
the State on good roads, war
rants a careful study of the
matter Of assessment and an eff
fort along lines of uniformity
throughout all the counties.

Practically all articles of merchan-
disc, necessaries or commodities, have
materially advanced in price since the
War started. To meet such advances
the retailers have through necessity
advanced the selling prices of those
articles in proportion to the increased
cost, and most properly, make about
the same profit on the same volumn of
business done, regardless of the market
fluctuations beyond their control.
A NEWSPAPER CANNOT RAISE
ITS SUBSCRIPTION PRICE OR AID

PORARY ABNORMAL CON-
DITIONS, but must stand the deprecia-
ton of profits through high cost of
materials with as good grace as posi-

The subscription to The Enquirer is

The advertising rates of The Enquirer
are the same now as when the War

Prices for job printing can be and

tutes very minor function of news

YET
The cost of paper has increased since
the war began 60 per cent, the price of
ink 40 per cent, the cost of type
metals, parts of machinery, betting
and other things in the way of fix
lures or repairs. 10 to 40 per cent
Everything that goes into the produc-
ton of newspaper has increased even
more than the general run of war
effected commodities. Yet the news
papers cannot we'll raise the "cost to
the consumer" to meet this increase,
during the temporary abnormality
Statistics compiled by the leading
mercantile agencies of the United
States established the fact that news
paper offices and printing shops are
| among the easiest of "easy marks
in the way of granting credit and al
lowing bills to "run," 1t is possible
that The Enquirer may be no exception
Of this rule.
Be that as it may, we take this op-
portunity to call the attention of our
subscribers and advertisers to an a.
greeable way in which they can help
US Offset the depreciation of profits due
to high cost of materials without cost
ing them anything. They can pay
their subscriptions promptly. They
can settle their advertising bills
promptly. Especially those who 'let
them run" not because they have not
money in bank or the old stocking with
which they could pay without incon-
venience, but simply hold off through
carelessness and indifference.
If the amount of our outstanding ac-
counts receivable for subscriptions and
advertising is cut down materially, a
substantial portion of the increased
cost of raw materials necessary for the
production of the paper would be off
set. Why? Any business man can
tell you!
