ANTIQUITY OF BAKING.
CONCERNING AMBITION.
A frcbUtorla Art rractieed by tha Aa.
dent Egyptian ml Hebrews,
Thtj origin of baking: precedes the
period of history and is Involved In the
obscurity of the early nge of the hu
man race. Excavations made In Switz
erland gave evidence that the art of
making: bread vras practiced by our
j-rehietoi-io ancestors, as early as the
Btone period. From tha shape of loaves
U is thought that no ovens were used
at that time, but the dough was rolled
Into small round cakes and laid on hot
stones, being covered with plowing'
ashes. Bread is mentioned in the book
of Genesis, where Atfraham, wishing
to entertain three angels, offered to
'fetch a morsel of bread." Baking is
again referred to where Sarah has in
structions to "make ready quickly
three measures of fine meal, knead it,
and make cakes upon the hearth. "
Lot entertained two angels by giving
them unleaven bread. The mere men
tion of unleavened bread shows that
there were two kinds of bread made
even at that time.
The art of baking was carried to a
high perfection among the Egyptians,
who are said to have baked cakes in
many fantastic shapes, using several
kinds of flour. The Romans took up
the art of baking and public bakeries
were numerous on the streets of Rome.
In England the business of the baker
was considered to be one so closely af
fecting the interests of the publio that
in 1266 an act of Parliament was passed
regulating the price to be charged for
bread. This regulation continued in
operation until 1822 in London, and un
til 1836 in the rest of the country. The
art of making bread has not yet reached
seme countries in Europe and Asia. In
the rural parts of Sweden no bread is
made, but rye cakes that are baked
twice a year and are as hard as flint.
, It is less than a century ago tuat bread
was used in Scotland, the Scotch
people of every class living on barley
bannocks and oaten cakes. Owing
to the fact that bread is sold very cheap
ly in Great Britain, the bakers of that
country are a poorly paid class of la
borers. For years the employers made
use of child labor to such an extent
that parliament in 1863 passed a law
making it a criminal offense to employ
a young person under the age of eigh
teen years to work in a bakehouse be
tween the hours of nine p. ra. and five
a. m. As most of the work done by
bakers is in the night, this statutory
law in Great Britain virtually prohibits
child labor in bakehouses. In all coun
tries of the world wheat flour is the
principal material for making bread.
although rye is used largely among the
peasantry in some parts of Europe.
The price of bread has always followed
the market price of wheat very closely.
and a recent rise in wheat advanced the
price of a pound loaf In Chicago 25 per
cent. Chicago JN etc.
' THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
Constant and Rapid Growth, of the Peo
ples Cslna; Is.
In an article, "The Future of the
English-Speaking races," Mr. Glad
stone computes that the habitual speak
ers of English have increased from 15,
000,000 to 105,000,000 during the last
. one hundred years, that they will num
ber 120,000,000 by the year 1900, and at
the rate of increase, seven times in
century, they will include 840,000,000
of people by the year 2000.
The increase during the last century
has, of course, been due chiefly to the
growth of the United States. Since
1787 our population has been multiplied
twenty times, while that of the British
kingdom itself has only a little more
than doubled- We have Increased
from about 8,000,000 to more than 60,
000,000, and England, including all the
British isles, has increased from 14,-
DOO.OOO to S5.000,000. In other words.
while this country contained only one-
fifth of the total of English-speak
ing people a century ago. It now con
tains three-fifths.
The increase during the next century,
as computed by Mr. Gladstone, must
also be in the United States in chief
part. If the present rate of growth.
about S per cent, annually, should con
tinue, our population 100 years hence
would be 700,000,000, or nearly twice
the present population of China. Even
is suming the gradual fall of the ratio
of increase to 2 per cent, a year, it
would be more than 650,000,000, and by
the year 2000 out of the 840,000,000
English-speaking people la the world
more than three-fourths would be in
the United States.
Mr. Barham Zincke, a well known
writer, astonished the world in 1883 by
estimating that in 100 years from that
time the aggregate of the English-speak
ing races would be 1,000,000,000. Of
Vhese he gave the United States 800,-
900,000, estimating our rate of increase
it S per cent, annully, or a doubling of
ihe population once in every twenty
Ive years. That would be four-fifths of
(he whole, while England itself would
nave only 70,000,000, or a very insig
nificant part of the English-speaking
population of the world. Another com
putation, by a continental writer, esti-
nates our population a century henoe
tt 700,000,000, or ten times the number
'.hat can reasonably be estimated for the
British islands.
Whether the present rate of increase
In this country continues during the
text century, or whether it falls from 3
to S per cent, or even lower, there is no
luestion that here is the great seat of
Ihe English-speaking race, and that
England itself and all its English oolo
gies will steadily decline in relative im
portance, until they become so far in
terior in numbers .and power as to be
lompletely overshadowed. K. Y. Sun.

Attalu Kxeellence.
No condition of mind has been more
soundly rated than ambition; all the
bad adjectives in the dictionary have
been flung nt it. But tho man who is
without ambition will soon bo elbowed
and jostled aside in the race for life
It may bo that ho will be content to be
outstripped, and if his contentment
proceed from philosophy and not from
Indolence he Is scarcely to be pitied.
Discontent," says Walter Besant,
hurts no young man, unless it is ac
companied by laziness, when it is the
devil."
Ambition, of course, stimulates to
more strenuous and persistent enort;
but it by no means follows that the
result of the effort is in itself bene
ficial to mankind. Take the ambitions
politician, whose thin mask of patriot
ism covers but does not conceal his
longing for the power and patronage
which office carries with it; of what
possible advantage can his patient
watching and waiting, his obsequious
fetching and carrying, his alternate
trucklinjr and blustering, be to the
commonwealth? Nay, what incalcu
lable injury does it not work, as well
to the State as to the Individual? On
the other hand, a worthy ambition,
legitimately pursued, may Indirectly
confer the greatest benefits both on
the community and on the aspirant
himself.
I should define healthy ambition as
being an eager desire for such pro
fessional or social advancement as is
reasonably and fairly to be hoped for
In the scope of a man's ordinary avo
cation, having due regard to the range
of his capacities. Alflerl, the greatest
of modern Italian poets, bad the
strange ambition of being the best
runner in Italy. One of the drollest
of our English comedians is known to
cherish an ardent desire to play
Hamlet, Othello and Macbeth. These
I should call diseased ambitions.
My notion is that a man should strive
to the utmost to attain excellence and
good repute in his occupation, what
ever it be, and that not until that is
achieved should he allow himself to
turn asido to other pursuits. For in
stance, say that you are a shoemaker.
vou feel that you have a soul above
leather: but you do not give up your
shoemaking until you have earned the
name of being a first-rate shoemaker.
By that time yon will probably have
found that even shoemaking has its
charms; but if you are then still a dis
contented shoemaker, you will have
won the right to seek for fame and
reputation in some other pursuit. I
do not say, let not the shoemaker go
beyond his last, but let him at any rate
stick to his last until he is the king of
cobblers.
To sum up, I advocate a healthy,
generous ambition that is to Bay, the
desire and the will to reach, by fair
and honest means, the highest posi
tion that is attainable in one's occupa
tion. Nor, if you find your sphere too
cramped, would I dissuade you from
beginning the world anew In some
more promising and congenial pur
suit. But unhealthy ambition, a pas
sion for success in one line simply be
cause from lack of energy you have
failed in another, I distinctly depre
cate; and immoral ambition, which
either justifies the means by the end,
or professes a cynical indifference nt
ta whether the means are just or un
just, is of course to be unreservedly
condemned. Notes for Boys.

'It is. Our intimacy must cease

young lady drummed Indifferently on
the table with her fingers.
"Aside from the fact that I am the

Mr. Clugston drew from the inside

and from its innermost compartment

going to hurt, ami they will hurt just
so much more when the woman whom

A Unique Time Table.
General Superintendent Adams, of
fhe Fitchburg road, has a unique time
table that is a little more extensive
than those used on other railroads in
the country. It consists of a large
board, nine feet long by six feet high,
suspended on a substantial standard.
It is painted black, ana Is divided
lengthwise by narrow yellow lines into
twenty-four divisions, representing the
hours of the day, while other lines di
vide it horizontally Into miles. Four
Inches are allowed to each hour, and
one-half inch to each mile. On one
side the names of the fifty-nine sta
tions from Boston to North Adams,
Inclusive, appear at the proper dis
tances apart. Colored threads are
stretched across the board to repre
sent the several trains red for pas
senger trains, blue for express freight
trains, and white for ordinary freight.
Black-headed pins indicate each stop
ping place of the several trains, and
small circular tags at the terminal
bear the number of the train. By fol
lowing a thread representing any
specified train, its location at any hour
Is readily seen, as well as the schedule
rate of speed per hour. Whenever it
is desired to change the running of a
train a rearrangement of the pins is
easily made, thus showing at a glance
whether the proposed change will in
terfere with any other train. K. Y.

tXowTlinnsantlt of Dollar Worth of Wall
Tapers, F tc. Are Knitted.
It Is stated that the sudden change
of the weather recently from cold to
warm and damp, has caused thousands
of dollars of damage to wall papers
and others articles In houses. Of
course it has, and It is so simple be
cause many people do not study the
plainest common sense principles in
airing their houses.
One evening lately, people went to
bod with a hunt for extra blankets be
cause of the sudden and severe chill
In the atmosphere. When they rose
In the morning their bodrooms, par
lors, dining room, eta, were yet
chilly from the cold Bi the previous day,
while the outside atmosphere had sud
denly became not only warm, but hot
and oppressive with dampness.
Inconsiderate people open their win
dows and doors because the weather
was warm, forgetting the excessive
moisture in the atmosphere would
rush in with the warm air and swiftly
deposit Itself on the cold walls, furni
ture, etc, and penetrate wall papers,
curtains, betiding, and every thing
within reach that presented a surface
colder than the air that carried it Into
the house.
Of course the moisture loosened and
discolored paper; made curtains as
limp as a washrag; made beds damp
and musty, and generally spoiled every
thing that water could spoil; but alt
could have been avoided by following
the plain commou-sense rule of not
opening houses suddenly to suddenly
changed atmosphere, carrying an ex
cessive quantity of moisture.
A pitcher filled with cold water and
placed in a iiom in summar will
"sweat" at least that Is what it is
commonly called. The pitcher does
not sweat, because it Is not porous and
can not sweat; but the cold water In
side of it chills the outer surface.
and as soon as the outer surface of
the pitcher becomes cooler than the
atmosphere in the room, the moisture
of the air will be precipitated upon the
pitcher in drops.
This simple illustration should teach
all housewives to avoid suddenly open
ing rooms in a house when the outside
atmosphere is warmer than the temper
ature of the rooms and full of moisture.
In all such cases the wall paper, furni
ture, etc.being cooler than the outside
air will speedily have the moisture of
the atmosphere precipitated upon
them, and it will require days to re-
Store the house to the dry condition
that is essential to health.
There are no arbitrary frenks In the
laws which govern the atmosphere
Burrounding us. and there is nothing
abstruse in mastering them. Warm,
damp air will ever precipitate its
moisture in houses or elsewhere when
ever It comes In contact with any thing
chilled by a co-tier atmosphere, and
that is the whole story. The only
thing to be added Is, that when people
have thus ignorantly or negligently
allowed their houses to become damp,
they should light fires and dry them
as promptly as possible. I'hiladtlphia

The Winter after the great fire
In Chicago I contracted Bronchial
affections, and ainco thon have
been obliged to spend nearly every
Winter South. Last November was
advised to try Scott's t mulsion of
Cod Liver OH with Hypophosphltes
and to my surprise was relieved at
once, and by continuing its use
three months was entirely cured,
gained flesh and strength and
was able to stand even the Bill
iard and attend to business every
day. O. T. CHURCHILL.

Culture .Lead to Simple Dreaa.
A marked feature of our times is the
increased simplicity in dress. In spito
of an occasional monstrous whim that
gets embodied in 6tyle, both tho habits
of ladies and gentlemen are more quiet
and less pretentious than fifty years agOb
Men s business suits are on a pattern
brought down to absolute economy in
expense and fitness for work. Nor aro
dress 6uits characterized by any of tho
superfluities of tho last century. Cler
gymen have given up not only the wigs
and bands and cocked hats of a hundred
years ago, but the tall hats, the invaria
ble black and the white tie of fifty years
pgo. 1 he judges no longer wear scarlet,
faced with velvet. Wigs, stocks, powders,
pomatums, are less and less important. A
gentleman of 1800, when he went abroad,
must appear in satin embroidered vest, a
wig and satin small clothes, with white
silk stockings. Culture does not lead in
the direction of elaborate adornment of
the person. Globe-Democrat.

No man is kept from study by lack
of time; yet no excuse for a failure to
study is more common than that of lack
of time. A man who studies all the
timo he can study, often wants more
timo thnn there is; and if there were
more time, he would use it But tho
man who refuses to study because he
has no time, would not study if he had
nothing to do but to study. S. S,

What the Bible will bo to one's soul
depends on the attitude of his soul to
ward the Book divine. If he believes
it to be the Word of God, and devoutly
reads and studies it as such, it will be
to him the Book of books. If, on the
other h&ud, he is a cavller or a Bkeptlc,
he will not be charmed with the Bible,
and will hardly read it at alL There is
a vast difference between these two at
titudes of the mind and heart. 2f. Y.
