baked very dark and brown, is fav-

bread is baked dice-shaped, with a
hole through the center so that the

Africa the Cassawa roots are. soaked

thrives on chestnut bread France
boasts of four-sided loaves, four feet
in length, carried under the arm or on

Lad of Is WEEDS Lass of 20; EIope
From Home For Aged

Chicago, Dec 17.-Isadore Vein
stein, a sprightly lad of IS, and Kate
whose name is now Weinstein, bash
full and sweet 20, loved each other.
Both are inmates of the Jewish Home
for the Aged. Having assured each
other of their undying devotion, they
put on their hats, slipped out of the
home and half an hour later were
married by Rabbi.
After the glad tidings had been
slipped along to the brides children
and IA grandchildren and to the half
dozen children of the bridegroom and
his 10 grandchildren, the newly weds
went back to the home to face the
wrath of their guardians.
However, there was no wrath. The
directors of the Institution hastily
amended an ancient bylaw forbid
ding husband and wife to live in the
home, and Isadore and Kate were
welcomed back and given a special
apartment, in which they have set up
housekeeping.

industry by Which People Of St
Thomas, One Of the Virgin IL
lands, Lived, u Gone.

Although there are so islands in
the group Of Virgin islands, in the
Caribbean sea, only three are large
enough to be shown on the maps.
They are st. Thomas, St. John and
St. Croix. The latter is the largest
Of the group, having an area of "a
square miles, but St. Thomas, with
an area of only 20 square miles, is
the most important.
The World war robbed the resi-
dents Of st. Thomas of their one and
only industry, and reduced them to
poverty. From the days Of the buc-
cancers the harbor of Charlotte
Amalie was in high favor. 1t screen
ed the pirates from view until they
were ready to pounce upon passing
ships. In more recent times it was
a safe harbor sfor thousands of yes
sells bound from Europe to Panama.
AS commerce increased the natives
saw their chance to make real in
dustry Of their harbor and gave up
farming to work there. The harbor
on the south side of the island be-
came the finest in tropical America.
In addition to the coaling station,
there is a floating dry dock and
marine slip, where splendid repair
facilities are provided. The natives
carried coal to and from the ships
and made a good living. When the
war came the German ships, the
chief patrons of the port, were swept
from the seas. The absence of the
usual ships, that discontinued sail
ings to the port, completed the wreck
of the industry.

REPAIRED GREAT KINGS TOMB
British Army in Persia Replaced Ma.
sonry Over Resting Place Of
Cyrus the Great.

The British army turns its hand
to all sorts of jobs, and when our
soldiers in Persia repaired the tomb
of Cyrus the Great they were follow
ing very distinguished military
tradition. When Alexander visited
the spot in 1874 B. c., he found that
both the tomb and the coffin had
been broken open, and he set to work
to repair and seal up the edifcs. The
damage that our own men repaired
had been caused by a tree growing
into the roof and displacing the slabs
of masonry with its roots.
In Lord Curzon's book on Persia
there is an illustration of the tomb
which shows a small shrub growing

The volcanic eruption Of Mount
Klot, in Java, some weeks ago,
was caused by lake on the mount
ain side overlooking into the crater.
The eruption lasted for 40 minutes.
Pitch darkness prevailed for ten
hours, owing to volcanic ash. Three
streams Of mud, boiling water,
and sand swept down Mount Kloet,
which is 5000 #. high. One stream
was three miles wide, and in the
center was rs #. deep. The food
struck the town Of Bitta, 80 miles
away, in an incredibly short time,
destroying the Chinese quarter, and
burying thousands of people for ever.
One large estate lost $4,000 coolies,
and sustained damage to the extent
of $2,0OO,O0O. 1t is estimated that
fully $4,000 people, including a few
whites, persisted in the streams,
which covered 10000 acres Of land.

BEAR PROTECTION.

Pennsylvania has followed the ex-
ample Of the province Of Quebec, in
protecting bear as game. 1t has gone
further, for whereas the Canadian
law protects bruin for a few weeks,
under this new law the open season
for bear is only from October Is
to December Is, with a penalty of
$50 for killing bear out of season.
But authority is given the stategame
commission to declare an open game
son in any county on bears on petit
ton by residents of a county to the
game commission that bruin has be-
come nuisance. In this case, how
ever, the law states the case must be

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT HORSES


Austrians left many ponies behind
in Montenegro They can be seen on
the roads either carrying packs OF
harnessed to the light carts familiar
to travellers in Austria and Poland.
Each of these was an Austrian trans
port wagon, and each bears the name
of the farmer from whom it was
requisitioned for military use. =
To one who knows the Balkans it
is very strange to see these ponies
and carts in place of the stole oxen
and ponderous two-wheeled carts of
pre-war days.

and none are being bred. When q
motor approaches, q rider imme-
diately dismounts, seizes the reins
far from the horses mouth and leads
him straight into the bank, cross
wise to the road. The horse, terrified
at his riders fear more than BY the
machine, pulls back in front Of it,
blocking the way completely.
Methods that do for an OF fail
when applied to the more spirited
animal, and the fear Of the rider for
his mount increases the misunder-
standing. This fear indeed is part
Of the curious timidity Of the Balkan
Slavs, which is strikingly at variance
with their splendid quality - sol
