Be great is this passion that explorers
lake with them Immcnse coils of brass

with pleasurahle though avaricious emo

I don't believe lie thought of what n

HISTORY OF THIS DELICATE DISH
60 POPULAR IN FRANCE.
Death of 1M Oreaet Maker Mew th
Ones lireta Are Made Fat Apocryphal
Merr of Thmas The Faauras Me of
HtrMbnrt OIHnc Them a tkrah
At Celmar, In Alsace, died in his 71st
fear n worthy bourgeois named Jean
Mangold, who, In the opinion of nil nave
uonie members of the medical profession,
deserved well, net only of his own coun
try, lnit of the whole world. Celmar,
the antique Celumbarln of the Remans,
noxt'.te Strnsburg, is unsurpassed for the
fabrication of "pates de fofe gres." Tlie
friends of the late M. Mangold, Indeed,
who was for many years tlie leading
pastry cook At Celranr. claim that his
pies were even auncrler te thorn made at
Strasburg. M. Mangold was a poet te
beet, and composed a large number of
local idyls, satires, vaudovilles nnd songs
for music. Dut it will be with his pics,
nnd net with his poems in his hand that
he will probably. go down te pesteslty.
It mlvht be dcslrable in the outset te
stigmatize as wholly npecryphal the story
te which Alexandre Dumas the elder, in
his "Dictionnnire de Cuisine," has given
currency as te the horrlble tortures in
flicted en the Alsatian goese in order te
fatten their livers te the degree required
by the pastry cooks. Starling with the
postulate that the liver of the bird can
only Ikj fattened by the tumefaction of
that organ, nnd that for ple making pur
poses the goeso livers should be ten or
twelve times the normal size, the author
of "Monte Crlste" gees en te say that
the wretched bipeds nre nailed by their
VAih feet te IxKirds, that their eyes nre
put out, and that they nre Incessantly
ntulfed with pounded nuts nnd deprived
efv water.
BTUFF1KO TUB LIVE BIRDS.
Anether alarmist, Improving en Alex
andra Dumas, nsscrts that the nailed
down geese nre placed bofero a raging
flre and allowed te drink as much water
as they like, thus leading te enlarge
ment of the liver. As n matter of fact,
the birds, like capons nnd turkeys, nre
no doubt systematically crammed,
usually with n paste made of Indian
corn and millet; but there is no mero
truth in the wild stories of the nailed
down feet, the blinding nnd the bciuI bciuI
reasting in front of nn ardent flre than
thcre is in the tales that turtle soup is
made of conger eel and the sauce called
soy from cockroaches.
Toulouse, in the south of France, Ruf
fec, In the Chnrcnte and Nerac, In the
Uerdclals, have in modem times, rivaled
Strasburg and Celmar in the making of
"pntes de fole gras;" nnd there nre culln
nry nntiquarles who maintain that
iinstlcs of fatted goeso livers nre n
Gnllo-Remau survival of Apician origin.
The mode of fattening the geese was
somewhat cruel. The birds were cooped
in belilary confinement in very narrow
cages; three times n day they were
gorged with maize, and, en the twenty
second day of cramming, n spoonful of
peppy oil wns added te the corn; wntcr
was freely given them, but it was nlwnyB
mixed with sweet wert from the
brewery. At the end of forty-two days
tlie goeso liecame 60 fat as te be in dan
ger of suffocation and was therefore
killed. Its proper weight should then 1k
alieut sixteen pounds, out of which the
liver should weigh thirty-two ounces.
Anether quicker but mero eqnirecal way
of fattening the gecbe was te mix nnti nnti
meny with the farinaceous paste with
which the birds were crammed.
HOW TO MAKE THE TIE.
At Strasburg the construction of n pate
U n serious and even solemn nflnir. Six
fattened livers are tlie ordinary pabulum
for a pie; they must first be washed in
many waters nnd then parboiled, nnd are
next scrupulously trimmed se as te free
them from all fibrous substance and from
any matter approaching bitterness In
flavor. Ench liver Is then cut In two,
nnd, out of the dozen, three nre chosen
te be beaten in a mortar and passed
through n eiove with bacon, shalets,
parsley and mushrooms, se us te make a
"farce," or forcemeat, which 13 lwiled,
nnd forms the basis of the pie. The ether
half livers nre then larded with the finest
l'erigerd truffles, cut in the shape of
dice, nnd thocententsof the piourumade
te consist of layers of liver, truffles and
fercement. Twe hours nre sufficient te
liake this dainty dish, fit te be bet befere
n whole congress of kings nnd emperors.
When the ple la withdrawn from the
even the top cnist should lw delicately
lifted and u large glassef Jlndclrn poured
into the interior. Then it should tie her
metically closed, be as te Ikj lit te be nt
ence packed nnd dispatched te the utter

U much mero vexatious in sorae cases
than in ethers, A friend of the writer
thus describes his exjierience: "The only
place where I have been thoroughly and
liersistenlly nstrny in this matter is
Poughkeeiisie, which I have had ccca ccca
bien te visit a fevv times in the course of
my life. Lvcrybedy has heard of the
orator who, in nn Impassioned moment,
exclaimed: 'I knew no north, no south,
no east, no west.' Well, his condition
was greatly te lw envied by the man who
thinks that west is cast and north h
south, and who cannot lid his mind of
the idea.
"Tlie first time I went te reughkeepsie,
eoine fifteen years age, it was tlrmly im
pressed en my mind that the city wns en
the west bank of the Hudsen nuu that
theprlnclpal street, which runs directly
liack from the river, went in n direction
exactly west. Passing Poughkeejisle en
ene of the river steamers, I am well
aware that it is en the cast side, but the
moment my feet is 6et en the sliore a de

even in doubt when the train enters the

when I wanted te go te New Yerk.

A very funny accident happened at a
reception where a bright woman, who
was out for the first tune after a long
illness, was the victim. Just befere she
left home seme one Bald that she had

looked perfectly blue. A serpent In the

Baying Historical Chmln.
An incident of Gen. Sheridan's visit te
Eurepe during the France-Prussian war
Is emitted from Ids article in theNovcm theNevcm theNovcm
iier Scribner's, perhaps, through igrior igrier igrior
nnce of the facts. When the general
reached Berlin he asked the American
minister te recommend te him seme
young American, who could speak Ger
man fluently, te act as en interpreter.
The minister recommended Mr. Charles
F. MacLean, better known te New
Yorkers as a pollce commissioner than as
en interpreter, nnd he followed Gen.
BhcrldfH through the campaign. The
general relates jn Scribner's new Bis
marck the great andapoleen the little
satonrude wooden chairs in front of n
cottage near Sedan, discussing the situ
ation, nnd there is a picture showing the
two men, ene triumphant, the ether
downcast, in the peasant's garden. A
few days later Gen. Sheridan dined with
Bismarck, who began te talk of the sur
render. "That meeting," said the Prus
sian chancellor, "will be historical. I
sent ever yesterday nnd -bought theso
two chairs from the peasant for ten
frajics apiece; new I have them aa
mementoes; and I euppose," he added,
with n laugh, "the English will goon
buying theso chairs for years te come."
There was a general laugh nt this re
mark, but ene officer had mero te laugh
at than the ethers, nnd gave Ids reasons
te Mr. MacLean afterward. "Yeu see,"
he said, "I knew as well ns Uismarek
that the meeting would be historical, be
the very ncxtlny I rode ever myself and
get the chairs for flve francs for the
pair." San Francisce Argonaut.
I-oek Out for the lluu Saw.
A folded sheet iron newspaper (imita
tion), designed for theso prowling nnd
dishonest persons who steal papers that
de net belong te them, is nn innovation
that will le hailed with delight by oil
honest newsdenlcrs. The paper contains
a rat trap attachment nnd a buzz saw,
which is worked by concealed machin
ery, duly and properly wound up hi the
morning. A tramp or dishonest person
euncing en the newspaper bets the ma
chinery in motion; the iron jaws of the
rat trap clese ever the hand of the thief,
nnd the buvv gets in its line work with
the most discouraging effect en the

VteB of Old 8hecs.
An American who has been traveling
In Eurepe thus describes the industrial
uses of old lioets nnd shoes which nre
thrown out into the streets and into abb
pits: After being collected they nre
ripped open, and the leather is subjected
te a treatment which renders it a pllable
mass, from which a kind of artistic
leather is derived. Tills in uppcarance
resembles the best leather of Cordova.
In the United Stntea patterns nre stamped
en this, whlle in France it is U6ed te
cover trunks and boxes. The old beets
nnd shoes nre also treated in another
way by which they nre converted into
new ones. The prisoners in Cen
tral France nre employed in this
way, the old shoes coming chiefly from
Spain. They are taken te pieces ns be
fore, the nails being all removed, nnd the
leather is soaked in order te soften it.
The uppers for children's shoes nre then
cut from it Tlie soles nre also used, for
from the smaller pieces of the leather of
the old soles, the 60 called Leuis XIV
heels for Indies' ehees are made from the
Lirger atjd thinner pieces. The old nails
nre also put te use. for by means of mag
nets the iron nails and the tacks nnd
brads are separated and sold. The con
tractors of tlie military prisons nt Mont Ment
pcller say tliat these nails nlone pay for
the old Eliecs. Nothing new remains but
the scraps, nnd these have also their
vnlue, for they nre much sought after by
certain specialists for agricultural pur
poses. New Yerk Mail nud Express.
A Iteg't Suicide.
In New Yerk n deg committed euicide
by jumping off a ferry lieat The owner,
nn old woman, asked a jwliccman te do de
him at tlie deck until ehe get aboard,
but as seen as the beat started the deg
jumped for the deck, nnd, by n preat
effort, succeeded in pulling himself en
beard. Then he ran through the women's
cabin with his nese te' the fleer, and
found his mistress en the forward deck.
His stumpy tall txbbed se fast thnt it
was nlmest invlsible, and if a deg ever
laughed he did. Tlie old woman was
angry. She scolded him ns though he
had been stealing meat, nnd his tall
f;radually stepped wagging, while his
lead sank lower and lower. He walked
slowly forward until he was en the edge
of the deck, nud looked mournfully
ncrem the water, no was the plcture of
deg despair. Suddenly he gave n bound
far out into the river and in a moment
the ferryboat had passed ever him.
