Flmt Great llnllrund Accident.
The first great accident on anv railroad oc-
eurifd Dec. 1!4, 1M1, on tho Orcat Western
railway in England. That day a train carry
ing thirty-eight passengers vtna moving
through n thick fog nt n high into of apoetl.
A iiin.w or enrui lnnl slipiej down from tho
slope nbovo and covered ono of the roils to
the depth of two or thmi feet. The engine
pliiugeit into this and was immediately
thrown from the track, and lustnntlv the
whole rear of the train was piled n;i on the
top of tho Hint carriage, which contained all
the passenger)), eight of whom were killod
and seventeen wounded. The Coroner's jury
returned a verdict of "Accidental death in all
tlio com, and a dcodund of 1,0X) on tho en
gine, tender and curringtu."
This feature of "deodaud'' beloii" to tho
old common law, which declared tbrt when
ever nny personal chattel wag tbo oocurioii of
death it should ho forfeited to the king, not
only that part which immediately gives tho
wounds lint ail tilings which niuvo with it
are forfeited. Down to 1817. when nnrliti-
incut abolished the practice, coroner's jurice
in England always assessed adcodatid ngidnsc
the locomotivo Involved in nn accident,
which, of course, tho company had to payoa
a fine. Chicago Triliuuo.

The testimony always shows that the act bns
been preceded by a sleepless night, with con
sequent brooding over real or Imaginary
trouble. Irishmen rarely commit suicide.
That is because they ar brought ipln uiue
rases out oi ten ns tatholiea, and have tb

commit suicide to avoid diurraco. or whit

Tb fact is there are no two countries In
the world where the people make and rat the
tHino kind of bread. This Seems a rather
broad assertion to make, but is. nevertheless a
true one. Even in such cloiely kindred coun
tries as England and America there exists a
decided difference of opinion In regard to the
consumption of this staple artirlo of food.
The American custom of eating buculls hot
as they ran be handled from the oven U re
garded by Joint Bull, Eq., with even a
greater measure of disfavor than that of
swallowing big tuinbleiaof ice water at our
meals. lh: Cull, ho of the ccllurful of due
old dusted port, the daily round ot roast
liecf, carrots, mince pie and Gorgouzola
cheese, thinks the thinness, tit nervousness
and the dyieia of hi Cousin Jonathan
comes largely from these twin evils of hot
bread and ice cold wnter.
In France the ordinary loaf assumes the
proportions of n roll the size of a man's fore
arm, and four feet long. Iu nny French vil
lage, about meal times, grown ieople and
children may lie seen walking sedately along
the streets willi a four foot stick of bread
thrust under each arm. A careless youngster
sometime forget himself to the extent of
letting the hindmost end of the stick trail
along the ground.
Not until one gets down to the principali
ties of the Balkan enlnsula does any really
noteworthy Innovation occur. Here ono
Amis the medium liel ween Asiatic and Euro
pean methods of making breid. The mo-
dium, however, Is far from being n happy
one; no moro execrable bread Is to U found
the whole world round than is served up to a
traveler at the wayside mehaiias of Bulgaria,
Brides being villainously heavy and well
nigh black, it is conrso and repulsive, almost
as wet saw dust to the palate; (ami, more
over, enters very largely into its conqxisition
from carelessness in handling and milling the
wheat
This style of bread confronts the disgusted
European traveler for the first 200 miles bo
yond the Bosphorus, nutil one gets pretty well
out of the Greek nnd Bulgarian ft tllemenrs
in western Apatolia, where another decided
change is experienced. Here wo come sud
denly into the realm of the simon pure un
leavened variety of Asifl. Bread i now called
rkmek, and takes the form of flat cakes or
sheet about two feet in diameter and the
thickness of ordinary blotting paper. The
necessaries for the preparation of this ckmek
are coarse wheat flour, water, mixing trough,
rolling pin, a large thin gridulo and a slow
burning substance called tezek tor n flro.
Taking these simple ingredients outside the
house early lit the morning, the Turkish or
Armenian female kindles the fire, mixes tbo
dough, roils it out, hakes it uud stacks enotipi
ot it up to serve her household for tho day.
When fresh and warm this oread is tou'h nud
c'.nggy; a few days later it loses something of
its clogginess, but retains its toughness, and
as it advances in age it tiecomes brittle and
hard. It is as Indestructible, healthful and
useful an article of food as the hard tack
issued to the ancient mariner and.tho old man
of the sen.
In Asia Minor, as In all other countries,
however, the luxurious requirements of city
bred ieople demand some kind of improve
ment on the ways and methods of country
bumpkins, camel dt ivem and goat herds.
Therefore, In gratification of tbeir epicurean
tastes, the ingenious oriental baker bns con
ceived nnd prepared littlo hoops or rings of
bread about the size of toe rope quoits aboard
nn Atlantic steamer Tbeso novel prepara
tions aro made of ftuor nnd w hiter, flour than
tho ekmek, and mo rendered li;;ht and aristo
cratic by the addition of sour dough or other
leavening substance
This sort of bread prevails throughout the
cities of Asia Minor, and the uso of ekmek
estendj eastward among tbo peasantry of
western Ferula as fur ns Tabrcez. Here tho
staff of life undergoes another trnnsfoinm
tion, and In many respects a change for tho
better. Tho mine ot tho Persian ciiy bazars
is really very excellent bread, most Euro
peans giving it preference over every other
kind they are acquainted with. Nune is
turned out for proper consumption and ap
proval in tho forms of flat cakes a foot brcud
and three to four feet long. Tho baker tokes
n lump of dough of the proper sizo and rolls
it dexterously into the proper shape and thick
lion on bis bare forearm. Ho then flips a
'light shower of water over its surface, and
witli a masterly toss spreads it over a bed
of heated pebbles.
Contuct with the almost redhot pebbles
quickly converts it into a cake of nicely
browned Indentations and spongy risings,
that render it almost as light as if leavened
with yeast The peasantry of eastern Persia
nnd Khornssan make a coarse imitation of
this saiuo form of bread, which U nlro very
palatable and wholesomo when enteu fresh.
The cakes are uunller and thicker thnn those
of the city baker; and their baking appara
tus' U altogether different The oven Is a
huge, upright earthenware jar. This it
heated to the proper consistency by inserting
live coals and covering up the top. The
dough being patted out Into a coke by the
hands, the woman sprinkles it with water,
dal it against iho iusido wall of the jar nnd
then quickly replaces this cover; in a few
uiinutts the enko fa nicely baked. In Af
ghanistan the people adopt the Toman
method of bread muking, without possessing
tho same skill or exercising the mi mo care and
troublo in its preparation. Thomas Stevens.
Life Saving Apparatus of lielndeer Hair.

"ON THE ROAD."

the men whose mixine, trades or calling nit

placet of abode for the time being are out nl

class olwerviitioiis may be made. 8onu of

the ride takes an hour or two. They bury

or they piny cards all the way; or they nt

"to kill time," And so make a wearisome labor
or fovcruh fret of the trip. And, in fact, It
is a monotonous, dull nud very tedious bind

OF PITILESS QUESTIONS
How They Farm In Clilll.
Farming iu Chili is conducted on the old
feudal system. Tlio country Is divided into
great estates, owned by people who live in the
itics nnd seldom visit their hni-icndas, as
they nie called. Tho tenants are pei mnticnt,
nud have retainers in the form of little cot
tages and gardens, for which they pny no
rent If tho landlord requires their services
they aro always subject to his call, and are
paid by tho day or month for whatever Inbor
they perform, generally in order upon the
supply storo or commissary of tho estate,
where they can obtain food, clothing and
other nrlicies, and rum especially rum. They
are given . mail credits at these stores, nnd ns
the law prohibits a tenant from leaving n
indlord to v.-liom he is in debt, tho former is
never permitted to settle bis nccouut. Tbs
peons never get ahead. They live and die ou
the samo estates and in the sumo cabins where
tbeir fathers nnd grandfathers lived and died,
nnd know nothing of the world or tho condi
tions of men iii otiiid them. Although they
aro badly treated in most cnse, they nre nl-
wnys loyal to their ninstei-s and tuke their
(leouage ns a matter of course.
The wnr with Fern hnd a demoralizing ef
fect upon the agricultural population, from
which the nrmy of Chili wns recruited, and it
will require ninny yenrs to recover from it
When they returned from the wnr it was
found almost impossible to get the men back
to the estnncins. They were enamored of mil
itary life, and bad got a taste ot city dissipa
tion, nnd a lnrge proportion of thearmy, when
it was mustered out, tiecame thieves, beggnu
mid highwaymen. There is not enough labor
iu tho country to work the farms, and the
lack has not only caused higher wages to lie
pnid, but bus done much to break up the old
system. Im i igrntiou is encouraged, labor
saving machinery is being introduced from
the United States, and new conditions nre
promised. But Iho estancieros who adopt la
bor saving machinery have lo get some Im
migrant to operate it, ns the nalivo can sel

Exerelse During Itot TCeather.
A wheelman it-marked recently that be did
not believe the people who abstained alto
gether from active exertion got along ns well
during tho inlenso bent as those who kept up
then- regular habits of exercise. "My leisure,"
said bo, "conies in almost the hottest part of
the day, but 1 take a spin of eight miles or
so almost every day and get up a glorious
perspiration. hen one Is dressed for it.
fow degrees of additional bent don't make
much difference, and on a wheel one nearly
always gets a breeze. After a bath in water
just from the hydrant, a rub down and the
assumption cf dry clothing, I come down
stairs feeling like one of the neighbors, 50
per cent better than if I had been sitting in
tho shatle funning myself all of that time.
It seems to me my plun is better thnn that c'
the feliow s who choose the cool of the eveuiiic
for their exercises, and then, without a
change of clothing, sit upon a piazza until
they get chilled. Moreover, the plunge into
cold wnter is as much fun as the spin. It is
never too not to take ie's daily exercise, in
this climnte. at any rate." Buffalo Courier.

Esperlenre of Working Olrl While
Uuntlnc for a Boarding MaceMorel
loss OullnB-"No Hoom" for a Well
Dressed Young Laxly.
"I hou!d like to give you an Idea of how
we girls are treated wherever we go to look
for boarding planes in this city," said a young
typewriter to a reporter the other day.
"You men can obtain board wherever you
please, and so long a you pay your Imurd
bills nnd behave yourselves there aro no
questions asked; but with a girl it I differ
ent. When I came,, to New York I was fresh
from Now England, unknown and without
friends hero to give me help or hint. Con
sequently I had to hunt up a boarding place
for myself. After considerable looking
around I found a quiet opiiearlng house where
the sign stated that a hall room was vacant
and that boarder were wanted.
"In answer to my ring a kindly looking
mntron inquired my business, Wheu I told
her that I was looking for a boarding place a
visible change caine over her face.
" 'Who are youf was bor somewhat abrupt
question. Then she scanned me ns if I were
a suspected thief, for whose capture n reward
bad been offered, nnd without giving me time
to answer this pertinent question, she con
tinued: I
"'Are you married I
" 'No, 1 am not,' I said as pleasantly as my
mortification would ullow.
"'Whnt do you export to do for a llvingf

"'I nm a typewriter.'

REFEHKNCER CHARACTER fiELF RESPECT.

"I don't see why I submitted to so much
quizzing. That woman could bent a reporter
asking questions. 'No,' 1 replied, 'but if you
want them, I suppose I could get them from
homo in two or three days.1
"'Well, I guess we haven t any room now,
and, besides, I'd rather have gentlemon,' was
the worthy matron's decision, ns she opened
the front door only to shut it quickly behind
me. I think I went to fully a dozen places,
only to be treated in the same way. At lust
I went to the oung Wommrs Christum as-
socintion, where I should have gona first. I
never was more thankful in my lifo than
wnen, after I had been at work for a year
nnd desired to change my place, ono of tho
girls in our olllce invited me to share Inr
room until I was able to find another place.
This mny nil sound very funny to you, but it
was not a funny experience for me: and my
experience is by no means unusual. A man
enn get rooms and board whore he chooses,
without references nnd without questions,
but when a girl tries to got board for herself.
If she is well dressed her character is doubted,
and there fa 'no room' for her; people wonder
where she gets her money. If sbo is poorly
dressed slio is nnturnlly not wanted, becnusa
she will lower the reputation of the liouso.
hlio must, in seir ricrense, marry or at least
becomo engaged if she has no mnle relative
under whoso protection she is. It does seem
nsit something might be done for tho poor
girls who como to the city in this wny.

The Klevutor Man's Memory.
"It is not hard to memorize thehituation of
the different offices." said a ninn who runs tin
elevator in tho Field building. "Tlio difficult
thing is to recollect when tho different iieople
get down to vtol in the morning. When a
person fulls to find a man In his office tho
first thing ho docs is to nsk mo at what time
be usnnlly arrives. If I make a mis'nke or
can't nnswer at nil I am complained of to the
boss, so to hold my job I must not only bo a
walking directory but an oracle ns well.
This building is mndo up entirely of small
office, nnd ninny of the tenants employ no
help. On this account I nm obliged to know
exactly when each man is in tho habit of get
ting down in tlio morning. If a man nhvnvs
comes nt tho same time each day it would be
a simple matter, but in calculating I havo to
make allowance for a queer feature in human
nature which you have probably never heard
of liefore.
"The average man finds it harder to keep
good resolutions than to make them. When
he sits nt homo on Sunday and thinks over
the past week he f:ls thut he could have
done much better than he did do if be hnd
got down to the office much earlier thnn lie
did. Ho remembered that it was almost time
for luncheon when he had finished discussing
his morning inper, so ho resolves to turn
over a new leaf for the coming week. The
result fa thnt ha gets down here on Mondny
morning before we have the steam up. The
next tiny he is hnlf nn hour Into, nnd on
Wednesday ho is nn hour behind. When it
is timo to turn out on Thursday morning he
feels discouraged at being unable to live up
to bis resolution, so be turns over nnd takes
another nap. By Saturday he has returned
to bis lazy habits. Thus it goes on year in
and year out When I'm nsked when n man
will be down in the momiyg I don't look nt
the clock but at the calendar." New York

Gladstone' Vitality and Versatility.
Perhaps it is in privnto life thnt Mr. Glad
stone's vitality and versatility are most re
markable. It is a great sight to watch him
at dinner with a fow friends. He never talks
for the sake of talking, but listens attentively
to every one else, nnd is enger to draw out
from his company ull they can tell him. But
they feel the influence of a master mind in
the smallest details. Mr. Gladstone asks a
dozen searching questions in a few moments,
and presents the subject in an entirely new
light by some exjiosilion that the listeners
never dreamt of. ne is full ot reminiscences.
and seems to imngine that everybody' mem
ory ought to be ns tenacious as his own.
One night when he was prime minister he
sat on the treasury bench with only one col
league beside bun. He was apparently asleep.
and the other man thcught be might indulge
