Frett, McHenry, UlU Wr- The Stale Bread of Haagary. In Hungary they do not eat freak bread. Whether it is because the Hun­ garians believe in hygiene more than their American or European brothers and sisters or not has never been told, but the Magyar is partial to stale bread, and the staler the better. His "rozskenyer," or ordinary black bread, as It is eaten by the very large ma­ jority of the Magyar population, is carefully laid away on a shelf and dug out for consumption, months and months after it has come out of the great ovens. If the huge loaf, weigh­ ing something like Ave pounds and for which the Hungarian pays 6 or 7 krentzer, -equivalent to about 3 or 4 cents in American money, has careful­ ly been hidden away for two yeafs, it Is considered all the better. The Hun­ garian never thinks of where the bread is to come from tomorrow. He thinks of where it is to come from next year, for he has at least a year's supply on the shelves. The Hunga­ rian bakes her bread 365 days ahead of time. Her Wednesday baking is for the Wednesday of a year to come; her Thursday baking for the Thursday of a year to come. To Cut the TTtffht la " 7 Professor Victor Hallopeau, member of the Paris Academy of Medicine, says; The 'true secret of long continued, valuable brain wogk is to cut,the night in two. The scholar, the inventor, the financier, the literary creator, should be asleep every night by 10 o'clock, to wake again at, say, 2 in the morning. Three hours' work, from 2 to 5, in the absolute tranquillity of the silent hours should mean the revealing of new pow­ ers, new possibilities, a wealth of ideas undreamed of under the prevailing sys­ tem. From 5 to 8 or 6:30 sleep again. Tak­ ing up then the day's work, the brain will be still saturated with thQ mental fruits of the midnight vigil; there will be no effort in putting into practice or carrying further what was planned or begun those few hours before. The habit may be hard to acquire, but mechanical means of waking at first will Induce the predisposition- New York World. » The Military Death Sentence. "You .know how a soldier traitor Is put to aeath," said the colonel. "The traitor stands blindfolded, and half a dozen privates shoot at him simul­ taneously. But perhaps you don't know that each of those privates, though he take the most careful aim, may afterward say without fear of contradiction that the traitor's blood does not stain his hands. This is the reason: Two of the rifles for this ghast­ ly shooting are always loaded with blank cartridges. Then they are shuf­ fled, and no one knows which the harmless ones, are. The executioners draw, and each is as like as not to draw a harmless gun. So when they shoot they can solace themselves with the thought that maybe they are only shooting a blank cartridge at the poor blindfolded wretch before them." Hand Breltmann'a phlloiophy. I have found that if we resolve to be vigorous of body and mind, calm, col­ lected, cheerful, etc., we can effect marvels, for it is certainly true that after awhile the spirit or will does haunt us unconsciously and marvel- ously. I have, I believe, half changed my nature under this discipline. I will continually to be free from folly, envy, irritability and vanity, to forgive and forget, and I have found, by willing and often recurring to it, that, while far from being exempt from fault, T have eliminated a vast mass of It from my mind. It is certainly true, as Kant wrote to Hufeland, many diseases can be cured by resolving them away. He thought the gout could be.--Letters of Charles Godfrey Leland. Time to Chance. It was at a table d'hote dinner at a hill station in India that a very young officer just up from the plains found himself seated next to a lady whom he took for one of the grass widows common in those parts. He made him­ self agreeable, but his neighbor seem­ ed a good deal out of spirits, so he said sympathetically: "I suppose you can't help thinking , *>f your poor husband grilling down be­ low?" ! But the lady was a real widow, and when he learned that he changed his seat--London Answers. Sparing the Smaaher. "I told you," said the merchant, "to mark this box 'Handle With Care.' What's this nonsense you've painted here?" "That," said the college graduate, "is the Latin for "Handle With Care.'" "How do you expect a baggageman to understand that?"

Almost every one of England's pop­ ular games has, at one time or another been made illegal. Scotland is the home of golf, yet in !45i the Scottish parliament passed an act- ont;Hliiig se» vere penalties on any on«^Yaijgt£| play­ ing the game.1 Edward III., Henry IvT aml Henry VIII. all strongly objected to football, and Qaeen Elizabeth made it an of­ fense punishable by imprisonment to play football. There is a record of six­ teen people being imprisoned at once for breaking this law. - Football is still under a ban in some parts of the world. Two of the Swiss cantons refuse to allow it, and in Tur­ key it is absolutely illegal, and those who dare to play it are punished. Among oddities of laws about games must lie mentioned a French {decree of the thirteenth century. By the king's command the gallants of the court were forbidden to play tennis *1"In their shirts." Whether his majesty* of France insisted upon coats Only* or whether the unfortunate players were doomed to practice in complete suits of armor do§s not appeal. -- London Graphic. ' Agriculture In Africa. Excepting perhaps some Malayan tribes the African negroes are said to be the finest agriculturists of all the natural races. The Bongos are said to have a greater variety of garden plants around their huts than are found in the fields and gardens of a German vil­ lage. Irrigation is practiced. The An­ golas, in the Kongo districit, have prac­ tical irrigation. The Wachangu show wonderful skill in irrigating their ter­ raced hillsides by tunnels of water di­ verted from the main stream. "They have a clear mode oif Irrigating equally a given surface. As the little canals of water are always elevated above the cultivated plants, they will tap them at a convenient spot above ttye beds to be watered knd then ttrrn the stream into a rough 'conduit made of the hol­ low stems of bananas cut In half, the end of each stem overlapping the next. Then as the water enters the last joint it is freely turned right and left, dis­ tributing the vivifying stream in all directions."--Southern Workman. Cold For Overcoat*. "Yflit! do not find any one westing overcoats in Alaska, even in the win­ ter," said a man from that territory. "The principal thing to be careful about is keeping the head, hands and feet warm. In that part of Alasktf where I have been the only land trans­ portation is by dog sleds, and to fol­ low them one has to drop Into a dog­ trot beside the sled. An ordinary suit Is plenty thick enough to keep you warm, and an overcoat is dangerous In that temperature. Trotting alongside a sled wearing an overcoat would make you perspire, and* the bitter cold would freeze the perspiration. The men there wear a fur cap that covers every part of the head and face except the eyes, and there is only a little peep­ hole for them. Wool lined mitts are worn on the hands and moccasins with woolen stockings on the feet."--Balti­ more Sun. ̂ Tragedy of a Wooden Idifr. A man who travels on a wooden leg says: "About the worst accident we ever heard of befalling a wooden leg­ ged man Is the time one such unfor­ tunate was going home after being to a late supper, along about 3 o'clock In the morning, when his peg leg went through an auger hole in tlie grub plank sidewalk, and he kept circling about that hole all night jinking he was going home.

At one of the large north country Churches recently a fashionably dress­ ed lady happened to go into one of the private pews. The verger, who is known to be a very ftern old ch^p, im­ mediately bustled up to her and said: "I'm afraid, miss, you'll h*'e to cum out o' that. This Is a paid pew." "Sir," said the young lady, turning sharply round, "do you know who I am? I'm one of the Fifes." "I dinna care," said the old man, "if you are the big drum.

' * No bird, so far as known records show, has ever alighted on a kite or attacked one. While a scientist was flying a train of five kites some years ago a large silver tipped eagle came suddenly .out of the higher air ancfr swooped round and round the first kite.' looking against the sunset sky like % huge silver ball. As the train- of kites was pulled in the eagle follow;ed, visit­ ing one kite and then another, seem­ ing uncertain just what to do. In a few minutes, when he seemed to have decided that they were not good to eat and he knew nothing about them^, anyway, he Indignantly flew and? was lost to view. While the scientist's kites were high in the air one March flocks of geese flying in the wedge flew over. They invariably stopped, broke up, hovered above the queer object; and at last slowly reformed and flew away.. While the larger birds all come from heights above the kite, the small birds of the air will alight on the string holding the kite and sway to and fro*. ^ Mmterlomi «la«i Mil*. According to a foreign correspondent of thfe geological survey at Washing­ ton, among the most interesting fea­ tures of the small island of Bllliton, between Sumatra and Borneo, an is­ land long famous for its rich tin mines, controlled by the Dutch government, are the "glass balls of Billiton," found among the tin ore deposits. These nat­ ural glass balls are round, with grooved surfaces. Similar phenomena are oc­ casionally found in Borneo and Java as well as In Australia. The corre­ spondent quoted think# they cannot be artificial, and there are no volcanoes near enough to support the theory that they are volcanic bombs. Besides, It is claimed, the glassy rocks produced by the nearest volcanoes are quite dif­ ferent in their nature from the mate­ rial of the balls. It is suspected that the mysterious objects were ejected ages ago from the volcanoes of the moon and afterward fell upon the eartb. "Caracul"--Ita Htraaolocr. I have often been asked for the ety­ mology of "caracul," which is a term now largely used by furriers to denote a variety of the fur called astrakhan. The new English dictionary does not contain caracul, but It has caracal, which is liable to be confused with it, though really quite a different word. The caracal is an animal, but caracul, like the nearly synonymous term, as­ trakhan, is the name of a piace--Kara Kul--I. e., the Black lake, near Bok­ hara, which has long been celebrated for Its output of furs. The earliest reference I can find to it in English is in Matthew Arnold's "Sohrab and Rustum:" And on hla head he set his sheepskin cap, Black, glossy, curled, the fleece of Kara Kul. -London £fotes and Queries. NUMBER* 36 Utving In the Electric Light. Writing to a friend in the country, a New York merchant says: "I live in the electric light I leave my home at 7 o'clock, after dressing and taking my breakfast by electric light. Then I go to the subway, one block distant, and ride to within a block of my office. There I work all day by electric light and go home again by the subway and spend the evening in the glare of the incandescent lamp. The weather conditions make no difference, because my flat and my office belong to the semidark kind. Sometimes I wonder what I would do without electric light, and sometimes I ask myself when I yearn for a little sunlight, Is the new light really a blessing?"--New York Tribune. John Stuart Mill. The genius of this great Englishman was such that before he was twenty he was recognized as the champion and future leader of a powerful school of philosophy and politics. John Stu­ art Mill is said to have studied Greek at the age of three and at fourteen had begun logic and political economy. The writings and doctrines of this master mind were and are still read and preached not only in this country, but throughout the world. John Stuart Mill stands out prominently among nineteenth cantury thinkers.--London Mail. Hardened. ̂ "Listen to this, Maria,* said Mr. Stubb as he unfolded his scientific pa­ per.
