Most travelers in Norway have prob ably had more than sufficient oppor tunities of becoming acquainted with the so-called “Fladbrod,” flat bread, of the country. Few. however, among them who have partaken of this dry and insipid food may possibly bo aware that in many districts, more especially in Hardanger, the chief ingredient in its composition is the bark of trees. This substitution of an indigestible product for bona fide flour is not nec essarily a proof of the scarcity of ce reals, but is to be ascribed rather to an opinion prevalent among the peasant women that the bark of young pine branches, or twigs of the elm uro capa ble of being made into a thinner paste than unadulterated barley or rye-meal, of which the Norse housewife, who prides herself on the lightness of her "Fladbrod,” puts in only enough to make the compound hold together. The absence of any nutritive prop erty in bark broad, whether made with elm or pine bark, and the positive in jury it may do the digestive organs, has of late attracted much notice among Norwegian physiologists, and the editor of .Vuturen, with a view of calling the attention of the public to the subject, has. with the author's permission, re printed some remarks by Dr. Schubeler on the history and character of the bark bread of Scandinavia. From this source we learn that the oldest refer ence to the use of bark bread in Nor way occurs in a poem, ascribed to the Skaid Sighvat, who lived in the first half of the eleventh century. In the year 1300 the annals of Gothland record a season of dearth in which men were foi ced to eat the bark and leaf-buds of trees, while then, and during the latter periods of the middle ages, the frequent famine of tho crops in all parts of Scan dinavia led to the systematic use of the bones and roe of fishes, as well as the bark of trees as a substitute for genuine flour, and so extensively was the lattor substance used that Pastor Herman Ruge, who, in 1762, wrote a treatise on the preservation of woods, has drawn attention to tho almost complete disap pearance of tho elm iu the Bohus dis trict, which he ascribes to the univer sal practice in bygone times of stripping the bark for the preparation of bream In Nordland and Fiumark the root of Strulhiopteris germanica and other ferns, as well as the leaves of various species of Runiex, have been largely used with barley-meal in making ordi nary bread as well as “Fladbrod?’ In Finland the national “pettuleipa”(bark bread), which was in former time al most tlie only breadstuff' of the coun try. still ranks as an ordinary article of food in Kajana and in the forest re gions of Oesterbotten and Tavastland Here it is usually made of the inner layers of the pine bark, ground to a in,-al, which is mixed with a small quantity of rye flour to give the requi site tenacity to the dough. The Fin landers of an older generation showed marvelous ingenuity in composing breadstuff's in which scarcely a trace of any cereal could be detected in the mixture of bark, berries, feeds, bulbs and roots of wild plants, which they Siem to have accepted as a perfectly legitimate substitute for corn bread. In tlie interior of Sweden, according to Prof. Save, the best bread of tho peas ants consisted till tlie middlo of this cen tury of peas, oats and barley-meal in equal proportions, while in the ordi nary daily bread tho husks, chaff and spikes of the oats were all ground down together. In bad seasons even tliis was unattainable by the Dalekar- lian laborer, who had to content him self witli pine-bark bread.— Nature. FALSE TEETH. Ilow an English Doctor Astonished tho Chief of One of the Solomon Islands. Ignorance is the mother of devotion, and. not (infrequently, of scepticism. “Now, I know that you are a liar,” answered the King of Siam to the En glish traveler who had told him that in England water became so hard that an elephant could stand on it. The King disbelieved because he knew nothing of ice. Old Takki, a chief of one of the Sol omon Islands, was once visited by sev eral Englishmen. Among them was a doctor who had a complete set of false teeth, which came out and slipped in their places again at the most unex pected moments. Occasionally they would appear on his plate at dinner. Old Takki and his men were gathered about the white men, when »tie of the Englishmen said: “Doctor, take out your teeth and show them to the natives ” A tin cup full of water was handed him amt the doctor, assuming a tierce grin which awed the savages, gave his Jaws a twist and out came his teeth, top ami bottom, and dropped in the mug. The islanders screamed with as- toiii-Hinent. The doctor had to Stand with his mouth open, while they satis fied themselves that he was toothless. “I am an old man,” said Takki, much calmer than Ids people, “and I am thankfnl that I have lived to see this day.” The fame of the doctor’s exploit trav eled through the islands, ami for sev eral years he was remembered as the Whiteman who could ship and unship his teet h. — Youth's Companion. —A poor woman went about Walla Walla, W.
