BREAD WITHOUT FLOUR. Parisian Process by Which Whole ' Wheat Grain Is Used. , Parisian bread is niado without flour in a machine that transforms - the wheat Into dough. The machine con sists mainly of a large screw turning loosely in a case on whose inner sur face is a screw thread running in an opposite direction. Between the main threads on the cylinder are smaller threads, and the depth of the groove grows progressive ly smaller from one end to the other, so that it will hold the entire wheat grain as it enters the machine and will accommodate only the pulverized wheat at the exit The wheat is prepared by a thor ough washing, after which about a pint of tepid water to a pound of grain is added, and the whole is allowed to stand about six hours. At the end of this time the grains of wheat have swollen to double their ordinary size. It is then mixed with the yeast and salt and poured into the machine. It falls between the threads of the mov ing screw and of the fixed contrary screw, which simultaneously crush the envelope and body of the grain, mak ing of them a homogeneous mixture which forms a smooth paste. Bread obtained by this process con tains a succession of holes whose size Increases as they approach the crust, which is thin. The odor given off is most agreeable and far more pronounc ed than that of ordinary baker's bread. Chicago Tribune. BIZET AND HALEVY. The Story of tho Origin of a Popular Air In "Carmen." Bizet, the composer of the world fa mous opera "Carmen," and Halevy, his librettist, once occupied apartments whose outer doors opened on the same landing. As soon as he had finished an air Bizet would hasten to submit it to his neighbor, who subjected it to the most severe criticism. From morn ing to, night the piano resounded in the composer's apartments. One night Bizet finished a dramatic bit in which he flattered himself he had success fully sketched the pride of a trium phant toreador after a successful bull fight. But Halevy listened in silence and showed but a moderate enthu siasm.' Bizet, somewhat piqued, asked the cause of this coldness. "It's good, I admit," said Ilalevy. "In fact, it's too good. It lacks move ment; it lacks snap in short it's not popular enough." "Not popular enough!" shouted the piqued composer. "Do you want to write for the slums?" He went out in a huff, but soon relented and in an hopr returned with another air. "Lis ten to this," said he, "Here is my toreador idea written down to your popular level." It was indeed the song of (he toreador and the only one which on tho first night received an encore and seemed to move the first night audience from its torpor. I Ax Head Money. When Schllemanu was digging at the supposed site of Troy he discovered masses of silver in the form of ax heads. Gotze suggested that these were intended not for implements, but for money. Bronze ax heads have also been discovered In ancient remains, mingled with metal pieces in the form of rings, in such a manner as to sug gest that all alike were Intended to serve as money, and the conclusion is drawn that in ancient times the metal ax head had come to be a popular unit of value for purposes of barter. After it had disappeared as actual money tho memory of it, according to this theory, was preserved in tho coins of Tenedos, which bore the figure of an ax head. It has been suggested that the "wedge of gold" which Achan stole from tho spoils of Jericho and for the stealing of which Joshua had him stoned to death was a specimen of tho ancient ax head money.

A GHOST AT SEA. The Phantom That Boarded the Bark 8ea Flower. The following incident is recorded as a true short story by an English publication: , The Sea Flower, a bark of some 450 tons, was iu the early hours of the 23d of June, 1SGJ, bound for Bristol, England, under tlie command of tho first mate, her captain, John Ellis, having been left behind at Kingston, Jamaica, Buffering from "yellow jack." It was about four bells in the middle watch (or 'i. a. m.) when the mate, who was standing near the bluuacle giving the beluismuu his course, suddenly be came aware of a mysterious presence in the waist of tho ship. At tbe same moment his companion clutched nlm by the arm. and, pointing, shrieked. "D'ye see him, sir?" Before he could reply tha mate be came aware that the dark shadow he had Just before observed had so far materialized that it bore the appear auce of Captalu Ellis. The figure of tho captain advanced along the deck and disappeared slowly down the com panion. Recovering himself, tho mate left the helmsman and hurried down into the cabin, meeting, Just coming out of it, the Second mate, who told him he had been awakened with a start after dreaming that the captain had como aboard and was calling him. Both meu then made a complete search of tho saloon and tho other cabins, but. It Is needless to say, without result. Later it was found that Captain El lis had died between 1 and 2 a. m. in tho morning of June 23. The story got about, and the ship ob tained n reputation for being haunted; consequently a difficulty was found In obtaining crews, and In the end it was renamed and sold to a foreign firm. 1 The Fly on the Ceiling.
