Tier Make the Doah Nowaday with the Slew of the Crowe. J net ne the Ancient Romans Did Sape ret it lone that Die Slow!. It would be surprising, Indeed, If there were not many superstitions about bread. The one indispensable article of food Is naturally In every na tion a favorite subject of folk lore. No French peasant begin a new loaf with out crossing It with the knife. The English uperstltion that bread cracked In the baking portend misfortunes in the family has taken root tn America. In Germany, too, the housewife still believes that cracks on the top of the loaf of bread Indicate the death of some one in the household, or, perhaps, mis fortune to a dear friend, while cracks on the lower side of the bread are taken to Indicate a birth. As many of us know, our bakers mark the 'gn of a cross upon the dough before placing It lu the oven. The reason for making this slgu be come plain when we know the origin of the custom. Almost all our super stitions about bread date bark to old pagan days, though they hare been greatly modified so as to conform to- Christian beliefs. With the ancient Romans, the baking of bread and cakes was often Invested with a religious significance, especially the cakes of fered to the gods and goddesses. These ceke were prepared In a particular way. and after belug marked with the symbol of the deity in whose honor they were offered, they were supposed to possess supernatural virtues. The old domestic practice was modi fied when Christianity became triumph ant, and, in place of a pagan symbol, the early Christian housewife not only used to make the sign of the cross when she began to kuead the dougli. but she marked that sigu upon her loaf before placing It In the oven. WhyT Simply because the sign of the cross Is the recognised Christian protecting; mark against the attacks of evil spirits, witches and the like. Hence, bread marked with the cross Is supposed to be witch proof, w ill bake all right, not crack across the ton. etc. Just as the Jews bare Passover Cakes, and other peoples have bad spe cially prepared food for their religious festivals, so Christians hare cakes for certain seasons. Our hot cross buns on Good Friday are simply modern representatives of the cakes used at some old pagan festival In days gone by, the cakes and buns baked at Eas ter were supposed to possess great vir tue. Thus. It is an old belief that the observance of eating cross buns on Good Friday Insures, so to speak, the house from fire for the coming year. We still eat a certain kind of pancake on Shrove Tuesday. The practice la referred to In "All's Well That Ends Well where the clown speaks of a "pancake for Shrove Tuesday. In "Pericles" they are called "flapjacks" a term still used In country districts. In truth, to study the superstitions about bread is to take a wide lesson In folk lore. These superstitions relate to the kneading trough, the oven, bak ers and bread. For instance, In many parts of France the "arche" or knead ing trough, is more than a rude kitchen utensil; it Is often a pretty bit of furni ture. M. Sebillot, who has collected many of the superstitions of the French folk relative to bread, quotes the story of a thief who entered the window of a house with Intent to com mit burglary, but refused to step on the trough still containing the dough, believing that to do so would be an Impiety. This Is similar to the Ameri can story of two hungry burglars who refused to satisfy their hunger with the meat which they found In a well- stocked larder because it was Friday. A writer In one of our magazines says that In Gottland the cross Is still signed before the oven fire is lighted or the dough kneaded. This practice Is very common In the country districts all over Europe. In Brittany the house wife makes the sign of the cross with the right hand while she places the left hand in the trough. After the dough Is kneaded the lid of the trough Is shut, and so Is the door; for If a cat should enter the room the bread would not rise. Certain charms of In vocations are used to cause the bread to multiply itself. Thus, the peasant housewife adjures the dough to Imi tate the leaven, the wheat, the miller, and to rise. She would be very angry If any one should sing or whistle in the room while she Is making the loaf. In some parts of Europe the bake oven Is almost a sacred object In cer tain places of Brittany, for example, It Is dedicated with ceremonies; the wood is sprinkled with blessed water; the proper heat Is attested by the melt ing of a bottle, and, finally, an egg la broken for luck. Besides, there are certain days on which bread must not be baked, as on Good Friday or during the night of All Saints, when the ghosts would be sure to eat It House hold Words. HAD TO NAME HIMSELF. How Sir. Payne Managed to Get on a Committee. How much embarrassment a very small deviation from the customary paths of procedure csn cause the one who makes It on the floor of the House of Representatives was Illus trated one morning when Mr. Payne of New York, Republican floor leader and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, undertook to secure the appointment of a conference commit tee on a bill witlch the Senate bad passed with slight amendments over the provision as It passed the House. To those who do not know the meth od pursued In the appointment of con ference committees, the versatility of the speaker in selecting such commit tees is usually surprising. All Is easy, however, when the chairman of the committee from which the bill comes complies with the practice. He simply pins a little slip of paper to. the docu ment on which Is written the names of the members he desires appointed and the speaker In announcing the committee' reads these names, of which the chairman almsett twwAa the list. in tne case in question Mr, Payn forgot to prepare hla little slip, and af ter he had secured the unanimous con sent the speaker suddenly noticed the lapse on the part of the "gentleman from New York. and with a twinkle in his eye he very distinctly question ed, "who would the geutleman from New York ltk appointed on that com mittee r A profuse blush mounted Chairman Payne's broad countenance. lie glanced hurriedly around at his col leagues and the merriment he saw on their faces only produced another blush. It was "up to" Mr. Payne to name himself as the head of the con ference committee. He uttered an au dible "ah" and stopped again. By t-s time all the old hands at legislation on the floor were enjoying Mr. raynt'a dilemma, and a hush spread over the chamber. Mr. Fayne made a bold plunge to hare It over and haltingly and blushtngly pronounced the words: "I suppose It ought to be the chair man of the committee and Mr. Dalaell aud Mr. Richardson." At this point saya the Washington Star, the smile became audible around Mr. rayne and the speaker, who was also enjoying the joke, announced In a ringing voice, "The chair appoints Mr. rayne. Mr. Palsell and Mr. Richard son." After Mr. Payne had received the mock congratulations of a doien or so members he hastened to th of ficial stenographer and whispered in- i structions that nothing unusual be made to appear In the Record. NOTHING LIKE THE FRESH AIR. It Won't Hart Woman' Complexion in- Any Weather. "New York women will continue to have to run to the complexion special ists," said a physician, "until they learn to appreciate fresh air better. The air need not necessarily be cold, but It must be fresh. It should be ra membered that catching cold depends a ttifni urai uivre on emie air nun draughts than npon cold air, and the very worst colds are caught when one Is tired and goes out Into the air feel lug fagged. To avoid colds and keep one's health be sure that the air Is good. Let there be free ventilation, With care this can be secured without draughts or an oversupply of cold air. "I went Into a living-room a few day ago. The walla were bung with pictures and the door with tapestries. The windows were rlchlydecorated with hangings and on the pane hung iAatlv transnaronclt But thav nrr tightly closed, and though th room was ueither too hot nor too cold. It was lutolerably close. When I escap ed Into the air I remembered having noticed a large swelling upon the chin of one of the two daughters. Th mother was nursing a cold sore. The other daughter had simply a wretched complexion. 1 thought it doubtful If merely opening the window would have cured these women, but I am sure that they would have had Infin itely better health could they have had Hjetter air In which to alt and work. "No danger to the complexion need lie feared, even from the freezing air of winter. If proper precautions are taken. If I were a woman with a deli cate skin before I went out on a very cold day 1 would rub a little cream into my skin, and I would wear a veil without dots, at least without dots where the eyes came, and I would get one as thin as possible, so as not to Interfere with my enjoyment of the air. Then I would go out into the weather, sure that I would not be roughly used. A healthy woman, tak ing such care of herself, may chap a little and redden much, but the clear ptnk and white or olive and red of her complexion will always show to ad vantage. New York Sun. DAMAGES FOR MORPHINE HABIT Cartons Lawsuit Recently Tried in the KnKllsh Courts. The English medical Journals con tain reports of a curious law suit which has Just been on trial In an En glish court. A nurse brought action against her pbyslclau for alleged mal practice In prescribing morphine for her in therapeutic doses, and thereby inducing In her the morphine bablt. The doctor was accused of negligence and a desire to get rid of a trouble some patient It Is to the credit of the Jury that, having heard the plain tiff's side of the case, they stopped the trial, and expressed the opinion that the action ought never to hare been brought The case suggests some rather curi ous reflections We do not doubt that some physicians are sometimes rather careless in prescribing such drugs as morphine and cocaine) but It would be difficult to apportion the exact degree of responsibility and the exact amount of damages, if every morphine fiend were to have redress in court from every physician who had ever pre scribed a dose of such drugs for htm or her. The precedent established by one such case" would be rather dis quieting to every doctor In active prac tice. In this English case the fact that the plaintiff was a nurse, and knew well the dangerous effects of the drug which she continued taking of her own accord, should have been enough to satisfy her lawyers that she had no claims either In Justice or In law. Such remote consequences are hardly to be appraised at a - money value, or to be ascribed to the fault of a physician who had merely given the drug In therapeutic doses. Philadel phia Medical Journal. Great Droughts in England. The first great drought on record hap pened In 678 and the two succeeding years, when, according to the records, there was practically no rainfall in England. In 879 the springs In Eng land were dried up and It was impossi ble for men to work In the open air. In 903 and 994 the nuts on the trees were "roasted as If In an oven."

It la a uiasslv gold cross,. th body of which la red en amel, with the Servian coat-of arms la gold on on side and the date of their accession to th brotherhood, 180, on the other.

Monkey and Tut of Jam. A sweet little story concerning a pot monkey and a pot of Jam Is vouched for by a Johns Hopkins University man: It waa tn the country and all on a summer's day the family monkey waa seen scudding homeward literally drenched In raspberry Jam. lie was pursued by an Irate neighbor with up lifted broom, but once safe ou to th home plat be swung himself lightly Into the nearest tree and peacefully listened to her tale of wrong. It seems the neighbor bad some hours before been making Jam, a great bowl of which sat cooling on a table beneath the tree. This the monkey spied, but bad scarcely started liberal ly helping himself to It when he was discovered. With loud outcry and th broom the lady started toward him, when the mischievous beast, knowing his minutes were numbered, hastily overturned the bowl on the " table. Then rolling himself Joyously In It sev eral time from head to heels he scam pered beyond ber reach. During the recital of her woe, and, In fact, for the remainder of the day, the monkey sat scooping the sweetmeat from his body and ticking his paws with glee. A Curious Tip. A certain little Flemish watering place, which la much frequented by English and American visitor lu the summer, possesses two attractions In the shape of a Presbyterian place of worship and a roulette table. One of th "faithful" had quite recently a most ingenious Idea, says the Iondon Time. After the number of the hymn succeeding the sermon was given he stole away, made his way to the table, and invested all he was worth on th number of the hymn. Needless to say th number turned up, and the lucky coup became the talk of the village for th rest of the week. Next Sunday th church waa crammed to the door. Th pious pastor was rejoiced 'in heart. After a powerful address he gave out "Ilymn No. 27." The moment the wordaJeft bis Hps, to his consterna tion there was a rush to the door, and he was left with a faithful handful to upraise their agitated strain of praise. As for the rest, they made a bee line from the house of prayer to the house of play. We are happy to relate that their little adventure cost them very dear. " No Offense Intended. A regular customer of a certain coal company dropped Into the office of th firm one morning to make a complaint. "That coal you sold me for my furnace a few weeks ago," he said, "Is tht worst I have bad In ten yesrs. There' a great quantity of slate In It, and what Isn't slate runs to clinkers." "Sorry to hear It, Mr. Williams," said the man inside the railing. "I'll make a memorandum of It Perhaps the com pany will give you a rebate on It." Taking a slip of paper, he wrote a few words on It end hung It oil a hook. The customer, happening to glance at the slip of paper, saw this: "U. U. Williams. Bad egg." "So I'm a bad egg, am I?" he asked, reddening with Indignation. "Oh, not at all, Mr. Williams," hast ily explained the clerk. "That means the egg coal we sold you turns out to be bad." " And the customer reddened again, but not from Indignation. Some men are so mean that when they attend a ball game, they want to see the home team beaten.
