Washington, March 20.—An interesting peis-mal controversy betweeii Senator Brice of Ohio -tmd Governor Thornton ot the territory nUNeVv Alexico enlivened yesterday s meeting of the house committee on territories. It grew i out of the action of Senator Brice in sc- I curing a senate amendment to a house j bill to validitate bonds issued by thqjer- ; ritory for building its m W capitol. The i Brice atiieiidment made the bill include 1 bonds for $172,500 issued by the county of Santa Fe to 'aid the Santa Fe railwad and dated March 1, JK92.. When the news of the senate's a"tion reached New Mexico the people of Hanta Fe county held a massmeeting, which was attended by the governor, adopted resolutions bra tiding the bonds as fraudulent and denouncing the action of Senator Brice as having beep inspired by personal pecuniary motives. Yesterday the house committee gave a hearing on. the bond question which • was attended by Governor Thornton. : Senator Brice arose and with considerable, warmth in his manner requested ' GhairmaupScranron to read a telegram J containing the resolutions which he had i received from New Alexico, This the ] chairman did.

A man, appareutly slightly past middle life, whose hair was tinged with gray and noticeably thin on top, sat near me at a theater. As the curtain rose for the first time a spectacled man of about the same age entered and occupied the vacant seat between us. He looked at the other fixedly. The look was exchanged. and in a second each hail the other cordially by the hand. The conversation told that they had been schoolmates who had not met in many years. “By Jove, Charlie,'’ exclaimed the first, “it does me good to see you. You haven't changed much more (han I have, and I am not a jjay older than when we got pur diplomas. ’’ “I can’t quite agree with you, Tom,’’ answered the other, “but I-don't feel very bld yet. 1 see you still enjoy the theater, and I suppose you have kept up your literary tastes for the past 30 years.” “Thirty years!” repeated Tom. “How the years Hy ! Do you remember how they used to drag? Theaters I Well, I do go now and then, but the plays and act--Lug are not what they used to be. As to books, I still read them, but none ofthe modern trash.. There hasu t been a good book written for a quarter of a century. The new ones give mo the dyspepsia worse than what I eat. Di y u remember the meals we had it ti e old Vermont farm? Tl. -• W( .n~liappy days. Thirty years and more ago! Strange, but 1 don't show a sign of age. 1 wonder where this confounded draft is coming from. I feel neuralgia on top of my head now.” “Tom. old boy,” replied the other, “you are deceiving yourself, for yon have shown marked signs of approaching age wi»hin three minutes. Your belief that theaters and actors have degenerated, that new books are below the , standard, that childhood cooking was perfection tmd that time flies so very fast are all indications that you are on the down hill side of life. The slight draft that you say brings a tiiy<e of neuralgia to the top of your bead, where, I notice, the hair is rather thin, wouldn’t have been thought of 30 years ago. Then here you are in the very front seat of a theater. No use denying the signs, Tom. \Ve are getting along and must admit what others plainly see. ” —New York Herald. THE BREAD OF THE WORLD. WhatThta Important Food Is Made of In Different Countries. In England and America wheat bread is within the reach of all, and scarcely is a thought given to the fact that only a small portion of the earth’s inhabitants enjoy it. It is only during the last century that wheat bread has come into common use. A hundred years ago wealthy families in England used only a peek of wheat a year and that at Christmas, eating oat cakes , during the remainder of the time. The German “pumpernickel” is a rye bread with a curious, spur taste, but after eat ing it awhile one acquires quite a taste for it. It is less nutritious than that of wheat., In the poorer parts of {Sweden the people bake their rye bread only twice a year and store it away, so that eventually it is as hard as bricks. Farther north still barley ami oats become Ihe chief bread corn. But in the distinct north is where man is put to thought to provide himself with bread. In Lapland if a man trusted to grain he would starve, so ihe people eke out their scanty store of oats with the inner l*ark of the pine, and after grinding this mixture it is made into large flat cakes, which, after all, are not half bad. In dreary Kamchatka the pine or birch bark by itself, well ground, pounded and baked,, constitutes the whole of the native bread fo.od. Bread ami butter is represented by a dough of pine bark spread with seal fat. In certain parts of • Siberia the., people not only grind the pine bark, but cut off the tender shoots, ■which procedure must give the bread an unpleasantly resipous flavor. In Iceland the lichen is scraped off the rock, made intp bread puddings and put into soup. In Russia and China buckwheat is pressed into service. It makes a palatable bread, though of a dark vio? let tinge. In Italy and Spain chestnuts are cooked, ground into meal and used for bread and soup thickening. Alillet furnishes a Whitebread in Arabia, Egypt and India. This grain is credited with being the very first used in breailmaking.
