Ecclefechaw, Scotland, August
15. Lying between Eskdale on the east and
2f ithsdale on the west is the sweet and pas
toral ylnnandale, though not among the
most noted yet one of the most loyely val
leys of the Scottish border. To the leisurely
and sentimental pilgrim tarrying among its
pleasing scenes, it appeals with goodly fas
cination. It is but a tiny vale, 30 miles
long, the river Annan, from which it takes
its name, having its source in the Hartfell
mountains, and winding with gentle flow
through and between characteristic Scottish
villages, its banks dotted with humble crofts,
larger farmsteads, and all the lang syne fea
tures of countryside Scottish homes.
Though the little valley is accorded no spe
cial fame among the Scottish pe6ple them
selves and is scarcely ever visited by tour
ists, to me it seems that in a few particulars
it possesses extraordinary interest. Within
the distance of one day's tramp across five
parishes through which winds the gentle
Annan, can be seen one of the most ancient,
and certainly one of the most historic, castle
ruins of Scotland, the first home in Scot
land of Robert the Bruce, at Lochmaben;
the birthplace, at Annan, of the greatest
and most unfortunate of all Scottish preach
ers, Edward Irving; the wonderful phenom
ena of the tides of Solwav Firth, which are
perhaps better observed from the great An
nan viaduct connecting England with Scot
land than at any other spot along the Sol
way shores; and the birthplace and bnrial
place of the one philosopher, essayist and
critic who has undoubtedly left a deeper
impression upon intellectual minds in Great
Britain and America than any other in
dividual who ever adorned and perplexed
this country crabbed, crailty, mighty and
glorious old Thomas Carlyle.
CUKIOUS LAKES ADS FISHES.
At about the center of Annandale, in the
parish of Xiochmaben, are eight curious lit
tle lakes, shallow and with sedgy shores. In
these are found the vendace fishes, from five
to six inches in length, nowhere else discov
erable in Great Britain,of a brilliant silvery
appearance.and in anatomy and flavor much
resembling those famous American ciscoes
which, in June, attract snch hosts of an
glers to the shores of Lake Geneva, in Wis
consin. Tbey are the most delicate fish
ienown to the British' gourmand. Their
beads are extraordinarily marked, in
a puce-colored transparent substance,
with the perfectly-defined figure
of a heart; through which, when
freshly caught, the brain may be seen.
Along the haughs and moss-banks of the
lochs the deadlv adder lurks; and the peas
antry will tell you that these dreadful
reptiles are kept down by their implacable
foes, the herons, which are certainly con
tinually seen dodging in and out among,
and hovering over, the surrounding reeds
and mosses.
About a mile from the ancient burgh town
of Lochmaben, on a tongue-shaped penin
sula which extends into the lake called the
Otstle-loch, are found the ruins of the
grandest fortress the border ever knew.
Whether or not it was the original residence
of the Braces, granted by David L, in 1121,
or an enlarged successor built in the thir
teenth century, it covered 1G acres of ground,
and is known to have been absolutely im
pregnable before the invention of gun
powder. The prim and ancient town of Annan, at
the side of the Solway where the Annan
water flows into that estuary, is a burg of
quaint, old granite homes, inhabited by
quaint, old grautte Scotch folk, rich, con
tented, indolent. Great square houses, great
square doors, great square windows with
gieat square laces in them, tell the story of
olden thrift, and older border powess, with
and then a quiet era of as profitable smug
gling, whose headquarters were in the
sheltering port. Here is the old Academy,
now a stately residence, where Carlyle once
was schooled, and where be was afterward
its master in mathematics; and for Salem's
memories of Mather they will recall for you
the wonderful career of that inspired and
holy man, Edward Irving, whom, for living
too closely to his divine Model, the stern old
Presbytery degradedrom holy ordert; and
then they will take you to the little house
in Butt Street, Fish Cross, where he was
born, and over whose door the simple in
scription, "At this house Edward Irving
was born 4 August, 1792 He left neither
an Enemy nor A Wrong Behind him." will
remain through time a brightening epitome
of endless lame, while those who broke his
saintly life and heart will moulder in for
gotten graves.
ETEKT HOUSE A CASTLE.
Leading from Annan to the English side
of the Solway is a vast railway viaduct one
and one-halt' niiles in length. One cannot
resist the temptation to cross this into rock
cirt Cumberland; for at its southern ap
proach is one of the oddest little villages
along the whole English border. This is
Bowness. It consists)! one long compactly-built
street, perched up there above the
wild Solway tides like an eagle's nest se
curely hung upon some crag edge, out-jutting
above a sea-swept precipice. What
brave old houses have these Bowness folk;
every one solid as a castle. '
These people of the Cumberland border
are fishermen'and "etatt saien." The latter
term applies, in two northwest counties of
England, Westmoreland and Cumberland, to
those who farm their own land, H it does
not exceed a half-acre in area; and lands
have descended for centnries in the same
families. Some are both "statesmen" and
fishermen; and all are descended from a cen-furies-old
line of men who could equally
'well turn their hands to the plough, to smug
gling, to the temporary bloody trade of
moss troopers, or to the nets. And it was
not so very long ago that salmon were so
plentiful in the-Solway that servants en
gaging to masters on the English or Scottish
side of the Firth stipulated that "salmon or
other fish should not be given them oftener
than three days in the week." Strange,
jqniet, God-fearing souls these Bowness folk,
with giant frames and wondrous height;
with wide, fair brows, great blue or hazel
eyes and leonine heads of flaxen hair; and
with dumb, sodden, speechless ways to the
end, which brings them at last from behind
the Boman ? altars of their sturdy home
walls to the drear old cbnrch yard, dug out
of the fosse whee once tne mighty Koman
'defences stood. Tarrying or going, one
may well say of all Bowness folk:
Here are the quaint old homes with the quaint
old hearts.
Where life to all is measured in three parts;
A simple way: The birth, the toil, the rest!
TVHElf THE TIDE COMES IS.
But a certain alertness of attention, an un
conscious habit and attitude of listening as
it were, true of every man, woman and
child on both sides of the Firth, discloses
that the .tide is coming up from the Irish
Sea, These folk will tell you they can hear
it 20 miles away. Long before this, if you
are standing on the cliff edge, you will see
the fiihers, waist deep in water, hurrying
on the tightening of their upright nets,
which for ten miles below seem like tiny
fences of rush, and away seaward with
vour glass you can see tbem scurrying up
from the ebbs-lime and sands toward safety
and the shore. Then to your unpracticed
ears come the faintreverbtrationsjof a hoarse
roar; and soon, like a pillar of flame in the
play of the sunlight, the great mist banner
of the advancing waters is flung fromBcot
land to England, almost Ironi Criflfel to
Silloth, and moves toward you like a lurid
, cloud above a running battle.
"In a few moments more the brilliancy oi
the phenomenon is greatest. Preceding the
jevw-f WWWK:

advancing cloud along the seethidg front of
a wall of water five miles wide, glitters,
foams and hisses a bank of spume and spray,
zoned, rimmed and interlaced with tinv
rainbows. The roaring of the bellowing
water-hosts becomes deafening. For an in
stant you are enveloped by the cloud. That
passed, while you thrill with the mystery
and awful grandeur of the spectacle, the
great tide-head is abreast of you, a true tide
bore, such as breaks majestically into Minas
and other estuaries of Ithe Bay of Fundy,
cylindrical and straight as an arrow across
the Firth, and from six to eight feet in
height, which sweeps past with a bellow and
shriek like that of an hundred thousand
coast fog-horns howling in unison; while
close in its wake is a hillocky, tempestuous
mass of waves brilliantly gorgeous in fitfully-swept
prismatic colon and the Sol
way tide is in. '
AT CABLYLE'S BIRTHPLACE.
Some English tramps were singing for
their breakfasts before the doors of the grave
Scottish villagers at Ecclefechan when I
tramped into the hamlet behind them.
There were five of them, great, hulking fel
lows, and their hoarse and aggressive bel
lowing was the onlv sound indicative of
human life in the village, even at that late
hour of the morning. It was a double
house of the dwarf variety, and the one at
the north end, where the strong-lunged sor
ners sang, was the birthplace of Thomas
Carlyle. The bellowing had brought mutch
capped guidwives to various windows and
alley entrances.at safe distances. I loitered
near enough to hear them discuss the matin
song of the tramps as well as the house and
its former occupants.
"Tbey needa faHh (trouble) theirsels tae
sing there;" croaked one old dame with a
trentle swaviner of her head betokening a
reminiscentiaf vein of remark. "They
mecht roar theirsels black i' the face, afore
they'll draw bluid frae that neep (turnip)!"
"Oh. ave." crooned a still older woman,
"it's weel kent nae puir body Iver saw, syne
or soon, the recht side o' the Carlyles
siller!"
How Carlyle's adorers would have groaned
to hear these old neighbors go onl One
hinted at their pride with, "They thocht
theirsels nae sheep-shanks!" Another, of
their thrift with, "They nee'r sell'd their
hens on a rainy day." Another, of miser
liness with, "They'gae their banes to nae
dogs." Another, of their 'austerity with.
"They warn a guid to neebor wi" Ana
another bent old body summed up what any
one will at once find to be the universal
feeling in the testy little village, with the
crisp epitome, "They were ill to thole!"
That is, it was hard to get along with the
Carlyles. It is historic that others besides
these dim old souls, some who lived in the
same houses with them, found it just that
way.
KELICS OF CABLYLE.
The tramps got nothing for theirofiertory,
and, after a few vicious kicks at the door,
departed; giving me oportucity to reach the
house just as the huge form and red, veinous
face of Mrs. John Gourley, caretaker, ap
peared at the door. Shaking a fine blud
geon after the vanishing vagrants she re
lieved her indignation with: "Hoots! It's
a weary day for auld Scotland whan there's'
Dae body t'" fend a hoose like this frae tba
low English beggars!" and then, in radiant
expectancy of low English "saxpences,"
bade me enter.
There is but one room below stairs. In
the upper story there is a room the same size
as that on the first floor. This is retained as
sort of show room, and is well enough filled
to be interesting with Carlyle relics, includ
ing his famous coffee pot, in which he was
wont to brew his own coffee and
his equally famous tobacco cutter
handmaids of the Cheyne Bow,
Chelsea inspiration and inseparable
companions of bis irascibility ana dvspep
sia. Off this little chamber and sitting
room, in which set a quaint old fire-place, is
a little, long, low bed-room over the arch
way; and in this Thomas Carlyle;was born.
Altogether the place is uninviting, meager,
hard, austere. The father who built it was
godly, stubborn, irrascible; flinty as the
Scotch-granite in which he wrought as a
stone mason, truly "iy. to thole," as the
bent-backed old guidwife, who knew him,
so aptly described the family. Disasso
ciating the man, Thomas Carlyle from the
heroism of his lolty work, you cannot come
to one spot made warm, tender and glowing
for bis having been a part of it; and the
dreary old kirk-yard where he lies, but a
tew steps irom wnere he was born, intensities
the feeling that something of the human
and humane was lacking, or was denied,
his whole line.
OF UNPLEASANT MEMORY.
There does not seem to be one soul in all
the region where he was born and reared
who recalls the family name with loving
kindness and respect. To be known as a
pilgrim to the Carlyle home and tomb is to
be regarded, with suspicion and sneers. The
very gravestone is parsimonious and shab
by; the enclosure unkempt; weeds and
brambles crowd the spot closely; tne lad
that unlocks the gate snickers behind you;
and as I stood lor a little time leaning upon
the iron railing in contemplation of the
lonely, neglected grave of this rare old war
riorln the field of letters, wondering, after
all, if any true greatness can ever exist so
far abjve the heads and hearts of the lowly
that they are not reached, aided and encom
passed by it; a bevy of rosy-cheeked,
roguish-eyed Scotch lassies passed; and re
garding me with hilarious scorn for over
looking the" merits of Ecclefechan itself for
dismal loitering where the hearts of none
here turned, one'fair maiden applied to a
certain disciple of Carlyle such sturdy
words of badinage as might well bewilder
the bravest pilgrim to shrines in foreign
lands.
AT ECCLEFECHAN. .
Musing lone one summer morning
In an ancient Scotch kirk-yard
By the grave or rare old Carlyle,
Rerereut bowed and deep in dreaming
Suddenly there passed a maiden;
Passed, bnt paused. Then, smiling, quoth she:
-m uere s no, von out stanes an' orommes;
aluckle mair's in Ecclefechan!"
Then tbe roguish maiden vanished
From the place of stones and brambles,
Andl left tbe dank old kirk-yard
With tbe lesson of her scorning;
Keep thy son) from out the shadows;
Turn tby UfeTrom graves to gladness!
This though but a hint in living.
This I learned at Ecclefechan.

Overcome by a Rattlesnake's Smell A
Dlnn's Close Call.
Kingston, N. Y., August 22. "W. E.
Hoolihan, of Kock Valley, recently beard a
rattlesnake sounding its rattle in the brush
by the roadside, and made search for it. On
discovering it he struck it with his whip,
but the blow did not seem to even
stun tbe reptile. Maddened by the attack
upon it the snake coiled itself and struck at
Hoolihan several times in'quick succession.
At the same time it gave out that odor pe
culiar to the rattlesnake which affects some
people strangely, and it made Hoolihan
deadly sick.
Just at this moment his feet got tangled
in the underbrush, and, sick and faint from
the odor emitted by the snake, he fell back
ward. The snake was just ready to spring
upon bim when he found sufficient strength
and presence of mind to hit it in the head
w ith a large stone. This stunned it, and it
was afterward killed. Tbe snake was nearly
6 feet long and was 9 inches in circumfer
ence. The body yielded three ounces of oil.

HOW WE LEAD IN HOSPITALITY.
The Influence of a Good Meal on Letters
and Diplomacy.
ODD MRS. PLETHORIC POCKETS ABROAD
fCOBEasPOXriKNCE OF THE D1STATCII.1
Aix-Les-Bains, August l0. The word
hospitality is a precious one in all religions
and in all languages, to give food and wine
and shelter, to bring one's friends around a
well filled board. "Where is the ancient
chronicle that is not tilled with praises .of
him or her who has this organizing power?
or where is the poet, from Horace to Mil
ton, who has not sung the record of Am
pbytrion? or the Cleopatra who.setting before
the guest the welcome cooling fruit, or the
inspiring draught, has, with it all, brought
to the philosopher his answering thought,
the weary rest, to the restless invigorating
sympathy, to the curious the last gossip, to
the wit the last bon mot, to those who live
in the realm of fancy the last story?
Social leaders in all ages and countries,
have studied not only the taste but the in
tellectual aptitudes and capabilities of those
whom they sought to gather round their
boards. The versatile Greek intellect in its
superb mythology, which figures for us all
the passionr of our replete common nature,
left us that Jupiter who gave supper parties
to Venus, to which Juno was not bid nor
Minerva either for the matter of that; doubt
less those two. Dignity and Intellect com
bined, gave in turn suppers to which Jupi
ter, in his graver hours was glad to be asked;
but they did not "mix things." These
petite suppers, enlivened by the inextin
guishable laughter of the goBs, and waited.
upon,bv Gannemede and Hebe, had much
to do with the politics of a Greek heaven.
In like manner, the
GLOOMY NOBTHEEN HEE0E3
of Valhalla invoked the terror and fascina
tion of clanging steel and the nightly
rustling of warriors, who sat down to meat
all clad in armor, as they drank their mead
from the skulls of their enemies. The
splendid outward phenomena of nature are
here omitted in their stories of banquets;
he wind sighs through the forest, the ocean
washes the feet of tbe host, the chasms of
the earth seem to open to swallow up their
f kitchen maidens; and of cookery they evi
dently had, only the most vague and awful
conception's. We see vanishing down their
mighty throats great draughts of potent liq
uors; we Bee their huge hands tearing the
half roasted kid; yet here also we have the
elementary idea of hospitality as set forth in
the northern poetry. They were all trying
to have a good time. It is as distinctly
imaged forth in the Saga, as in the neater,
more elegant and finished Helenic verse,
which cnlminated in power in Homer, and
wreathed its base with roses as in Horace.
It entered into the religious epic of Mil
ton, and we see the English housewife oi
his day, imaged forth as Eve spread her
table for the augel, and brought food -from
the preserves of Paradise (to lighten
Adam's duties as a host) to a most unex
pected, perhaps unwelcome guest.
We see also in this immortal picture that
man has ever turned to woman as the or
ganizing power on these occasions, and, in
deed, history sublime in its impartiality
has always painted man as throuing off all
the trouble of giving a dinner party on the
woman.
EECOKCILED BY FOOD.
To even hint at the great influence which
hospitality has had upon politics would be
to recite Guizot'e nine volnmes of the His
tory of Civilization. From the polished
and versatile memoirs of the Grammonts,
Walpoles. D'Azelios, HenrvCrabbe, JRob
inson, Selwyn, from Trance, Germany,
Italy, England, how many a lesson we
get oi the efficacy of a dinner in reconciling
toes and in the making of friends! How
many a conspiracy was hatched, no doubt,
behind aspic of 'plovers' eggs, or a vol-an-vent
de volaille! How many a budding
Ministry brought to full flower over a well
ordered table cloth! How many a war
cloud dispelled by the proper introduction
ot a good Burgundy at the proper tempera
ture! It is related that Lord Lyndhurst,
when somebody asked him which was the
best way to succeed in life, "Give good
wine'" A French statesman would have
answered "Give good dinners," which im
plies good wine and something beside, and
would have carried out tbe advice
into practice himself. Tallyrand kept
the most renowned table of his
day, quite as much for political as for hy
gienic reasons. At 80 years of age he spent
an hour every morning with his chef dis
cussing the dishes to be served at dinner.
The Emperor, who was no epicure, nor even
a connoisseur, was nevertheless pleased with
Tallyrand's luxurious and refined hospitali
ty, in consequence of the impression it made
on those who were so fortunate as to partake
of it On the other hand, one, hesitates to
contemplate the indigestions and bad Eng
lish cookery which must have hatched an
Oliver Cromwell 1 or earlier still, What a
decadence of Italian hospitality made the
Borgias possible!
There is one chaos ot good feeding and
bad organization, beauty responsible for tbe
ennui of society which should be preached
about, and that is a dinner party "given to
pay off social debts," where no person has
the least sympathy with the persons about
him; think ot the awful resting time be
tween the courses. uouia tne moaern
hostess be permitted to send a check to each
guest, and avoid asking him to be miserable
for an evening, she would be a real bene
factor of society, and save it from the- re
proach of insufficiency. She holds so divine
an office, the hostess, that one wishes she
would never descend from her throne, nor
invite people simply to make them unhappy.
AMERICANS FREE GIVEES.
American hospitality has always been,
to the European observer, a splendid out
ward phenomenon. It has been so generous,
so lavish, so disregardful of expenses, that
it has been criticized as barbaric, as savage.
as vulgar. Still nobody staid away from
these dinners, which were compared to
hecatcombs of game, ana where cuampagne
was said to flow like Niagara in boundless
and uncontrolable current. The guinea
pears and ten shilling peaches which were
pronounced at an English dinner as de
cidedly ostentatious, were left far in the
background by some American entertainers,
who would have served in artichokes, had
diamons been edible.
The profusion, the expense of a New York
dinner, its roses at $1 a leaf, its fruit from
Algiers or San Francisco, its fish from a
coast of 1,000 mile long, its game from the
boundless area which SamSIick described
as reaching "from the State of Maine to the
Betting sun," its luxurious wines which
really represented the vintages most prized
by connoisseurs, these all had been so famil
iar to the hostesses from the Golden Slope
in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, New
port, that they felt absolutely the expense of
a dinner in Paris or London to be nothing,
and bought orchids for halt the price which
had been paid for roses at Klumder's, not
reflecting that, to the sober better sense of
a foreien hostess, such profusion and gild
ing of the passing hour seemed a senseless
extravagance.
A Parisian hostess once rebuked an
American hostess for her outlay in flowers,
saying, "In one season what you waste in
flowers would buy a precions picture or
statue.JP
"Ob, where is the precious picture or
statue? I will buy that, too," said Mrs.
Plethoric Pockets, who only wished tor an
outlet for her overflowing wealth, as an ap
oplectic sighs for a blood-letting.
-WE BEAT THE WORLD.
Still, whatever may have been said,
American luxury is splendid. There is
no'thing Itkfe it here ih-tbe Old World.
Given one splendid dinner and all society ig
emulous. Our silver and gold services,
Japanese, Chinese faience, our resticulated
Worcester, Old Spote. Sevres and Our own
cut-glass makes a table look like a picture
by Kubens.
American hospitality shines out all the
richer that almost every host has conquered
fortune for himelf. It makes Amphitryon
look bigger, taller, more superb, when we
realize that he has conquered fate in Wall
street, at the newspaper office, on the Cotton
Excjiange, in the courts, the camp, the
grove. For work has given him her best
prizes, her money bags and her laurel
wreath.
Luxury like this is good for a land like
ours. We have the most abundant market
iti ilia nnM f YVAtllil flint Ta RbIIa

Luxury encourages a thousand industries.
The reduced lady has perhaps embroidered
the tablecloth and marked the napkins; the
artistic girl has painted the dinner cards.
The gardener is stimulated to produce better
roses and to raise lilies of the valley in the
winter. It sends comfort into a hundred

GIFT TO TEE PEESIDEHT.
A Nondescript Bruto From Morocco That
Never flenched tbe White House.
A good story is told of the United States
Government's experiment in importing a
herd of camels from the Barbary coast in
1856, for the army on the plains. The
camels, says a writer in the Kansas City
Star, had all been loaded on board the
storeship Supply, and, one day, while the
ship was lying off the coast of Morocco, a
native vessel rounded to and broueht, as a
present from the Emperor of the country
to the President of the United States, a non
descript sort of an animal, said to be part
dog, part hyena, part wolf and a mixture,
as it was alleged, of a dozen other ferocious
beasts of the genus canus, whose habitat
was the Mountains of the Moon, in Africa.
The awful looking brute was confined in a
sort of crate, in which he was hoisted on
board and pnt down in the hold. He was
very tall, long, huge and powerfully built,
and he had a mass of grey bairrunning from
his head to the end ot his body, which, when
ever he was antrrv. would stand up the whole
.length of his body as stiff as a hog's bristles.
A.B I1C UCVCX HUB iU O UJ1JU UWUIOUIHI niw
always in a state of rigid erection. He hud
not been on board half an hour beforehe had
destroyed his cage, and only after a great
deal of trouble was he confined in another
and stronger one. The way he was fed was
by lowering bnckets to him, as no one dared
to approach the brute, and when they de
sired to clean out his pen the ship's hose was
turned on and tbe place flooded. He was
an unmitigated nuisance, and how to get rid
of the monster was a serious problem.
At last the Supply anchored off Constan
tinople, where dogs are the only city scaven
gers. These are wild and ferocious having,
or rather acknowledging no master, and
each particular pack has its own range or
quarter of the city, which they never leave.
Tbe moment a strange cur makes his ap
pearance among them they kill him.
Lieutenant Porter had made many abortive
attempts to give the animal away. The
Consul suggested the idea of landing the
ugly beast on Seraglio Point, where tbe
largest of the packs ot the wild and owner
less scavenger dogs of Constantinople
roamed. So one Saturday afternoon they
proceeded to land the royal cur, and after
a great deal of trouble succeeded in
getting a rope around him where he
stood in his cage down in the hold;
then they tied his legs together and
put a canvas hood over his head. He was
thn hnintpd. He made a break for the
shore, the canvas hood slipping off imme-
diateiv. as it had been so fixed thatit would.
Beaching the beach he rolled in the sand
two or three times, then stood up and took
an observation. The sleeping pack of
native dogs were still curled up in their
favorite spots perfectly oblivious of his
presence. He saw them at once, and in an
mBtant he was in their midst and the fight
commenced. The pack flew at him, but he
tiacTltlllea a hairdozcu Ucfora ttioy Had Rt
the best of him.. The air was black with
dust and dogs, and for more than half an
hour the thing was kept up. Then the
place assumed its normal quiet, and the
Constantinople curs again resumed their
siesta, while nothing was left of the Em
peror'ffgift. THE NOON-DAY BEST.

able br n Simple Slcthod,
Springfield Union.
The business women and girls of Indian
apolis are enjoying a nnique and pleasant
benefit called the "Noon Best," established
in a central portion of the city by the Young
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
The institution is a sort of woman's club,
and the'plant" consists of a number of
rooms open each week day from 10 A. M. to
3 p. si., where all young women who work
in stores and shops are invited to spend
their noon hours. Tables are provided for
lunches, and milk, tea, coffee 'and chocolate
are served for 3 cents per cnp.
The new institution does not come under
the head of "charity" in any sense, and the
details of its management are the free offer
ing of those who are sensitive enough to re
alize the instinct of "women for the grateful
seclusion which exclusive surroundings can
give. The idea is certainly an admirable
one, and ought to be copied: in other cities.
And it would not be a bad idea if a similar
nooning resort could he provided for men
who are obliged to carry their dinners or
lunches with them.
A plain hall, neatly furnished, where
women or men could sit to eat their lunches

SNAKE WITH TWO HEADS.
A Cnrlous Reptile Killed In the Country
Near Gnlenn, 111.
St. ljonls Globe-Democrat. J
A double-headed serpent was killed near
Galena, 111., recently by Captain Leo Heit.
He was fiercely attacked by the reptile,
and would no doubt have been severely
bitten had it not been for his prowess as a
marksman and the rapidity with which he
drew his revolver from his pistol pocket and
fired a couple ot balls in rapid succession
into the body of his dangerous antagonist.
The snake bad evidently crawled out of
a hole in a decayed stump of a tree, and
when first discovered was lying full length
in the sun just in front of the aperture
Captain Heit first imagined there were two
reptiles lying together, but on cautiously
approaching the spot observed, to his
amazement, that it was one snake only, but
with two distinct and perfectly formed
heads.
The hideous reptile, which had evidently
been in a stupor, suddenly became aroused,
and was in the act of darting at the captain,
when a couple doses of cold lead brought a
halt.
On examining the moccasin it was found
that tbe two heads forked at right and; left
angles from the body,' each head having be
tween three and four inches of neck. The
heads were perfectly formed and exactly
alike, and when the serpent was aroused
from his stupor both gave forth a horrible
hissing sound which for an instant nearly
paralyzed the captain.

THE STKAtfGE FOODS
Which Tickle the Palate of People
tije World Over.
SEAWEED.LOCUSTS AND ELEPHANT
And Other Odd Articles of Diet Devoured
With a fielhb.
SOME CURIOUS ENGLISH DELICACIES
To the new number of the Scottith Be
view Mr. A. J. H. Crespi contributes an in
teresting article upon strange foods. "Sea
weed," says Dr. Crespi, "is eaten on the
coasts of Scotland and Ireland in vast
quantities, and, though unpalatable and
flavorless, is at times the chief food of some
of the poorest. When dry it is richer
than oatmeal or Indian corn in nitrogenous
constituents, and takes rank am one the
most nutritious of vegetable foods. Laver
is an exception to the low estimation in
which seaweed is held, and is a favorite
condiment. We have known it eaten
in large quantities in North Devon, and
with much relish. To prepare seaweed for
tbe table it should he steeped in water to
get rig of the salt with which it is impreg
nated, and a little carbonate of soda re
moves the bitter taste, which to some pal
ates is most disagreeable. It should then
be stewed in milk or water till mucilagi
nous, and is best flavored with vinegar or
pepper. , Fungi are almost everywhere
larirelv eaten, thouch in England less at
tention is paid to them than they deserve,
and few kinds appear at table, A curious
error is to suppose that fungi are eatable
and toadstools poisonous; no such line of
demarcation exists, nor, strictly speaking,
has the name toadstool any precise meaning.
Very many fucei are edible, and the com
mon agaric usually eaten in England is not
the most palatable and wholesome. Few
foods are more savory, and none are greater
favorites, than well-cooked fuDgl, and the
souls of vegetarians yearn for them,
CANNIBALISM DYING OUT.
The most repulsive food which human be
ings could eat is man. Fortunately, canni
balism," although once very general, is now
mainly confined to the most degraded tribes
of the South Sea Islands, and to some dis
tricts of Australia and Central Africa. Lind
say, of Pitscottie, relates that a man, his
wile and family were burned to death on the
east coast of Scotland for eating children
whom they had stolen; and dqring the
French Bevolution the heart of the unfor
tunate Princess Lamballe was actually torn
out of her body by one of the yelling savages
near, taken to a restaurant and there cooked
and eaten. Human flesh is said not to be
unpalatable; and this is confirmed by the
horrible narrative given by Lindsay; he
mentions that as one of the girls was being
taken to execution she exclaimed: "Where
fore chide ye with me, as if I had committed
an unworthy act? Give me credence and
trow me, if ye had experience ot eating men
and women's flesh ye would think it so de
licious that ye would never forbear it again."
The Tannese of our own day distribute
human flesh i little bits to their friends as
delicious morsels, and say that the flesh of a
black man is preferable to that of a white
one, for the latter tastes salt; other cannibals
hold the same.
LIONS AND ELEPHANTS.
The lion is eaten by some African races,
although its flesh is in small favor with
them, while the Zulus find carrion so mnch
to their liking that, according to Dr. Colenso,
tbey apoly to food teeming with large eolo-
piestii grubs the oomprebenslve word
,"uborni," which signifies in their uncouth
jargon "great hapDiness." David Living
ston tells us that tbe aboriginal Australians
and the Hottentots prefer the intestines of
animals, and he adds that "it is curious
that this is the part which wild animals
alwayB begin with, and that it is the first
cntia-f OUT Inwn' The hippopotamus is
another favorite meat of the Airicans, when
they catch it. Its flesh, when young,
is tender and palatable, but it be
comes very coarse and unpleasant
with advancing years. The Abyssini
an s find the rhinoceros mnch to their liking;
so they do the elephant, which is also eaten
in Sumatra. Dr. Livingstone speaks of
elephant'sfoot as excellent. "We had the
foot cooked for breakfast, and found it
delicious. It is a whitish mass, slightly
gelatinous and sweet, like marrow. A long
march to prevent biliousness is a wise pre
caution after a feast on elephant's foot
Elephant's tongue and trunk are also good,
and, after long simmering, much resembles
the humps of a buffalo ano the tongue of an
ox; but all tbe other meat is tough, and,
from its pecnliar flavor, only to be eaten by
a hungry man." The elephants eaten dur
ing the siege of Paris were said to be a great
success, and the liver was pronounced finer
than that of any goose or dues.
LOCUSTS AND WILD HONEY.
The people of Zanzibar should stand high
for the comprehensive character of their cui
sine. Among other delioacies are small
monkey and fruit-eating bat. . Locusts are
relished by the Bedawin of Mesopotamia
and some other Eastern tribes; they are
placed on strings and eaten on journeys with
bitter and unleavened bread. The Hebrews,
who were prohibited eating many kinds of
food which our larger experience teaches us
are palatable and wholesome, as well as
some that we do not venture to touob, were
permitted to have their fill of locusts. The
locust is an article ot diet to this day, but
only of the very poor; it is thrown into boil
ing water, and" eaten with salt To live on
locusts and wild honey conveys a more ac
curate picture of extreme poverty and fru
gality to a traveler in the East than to any
one else. Locusts, however, are not always
cooked; sometimes .they are eaten, fresh.
They are said to have a strong vegetable
taste; the flavor largely depending,' as might
be expected, on the plants on which tbey
have been feeding. Dr. Livingston, who
showed his common sense bv not being
fastidious, considered tbem palatable when
roasted.
Some of the savage tribes of South
America are accused of eating everything
that by any possibility will support human
life. Humboldt saw 'children draw enor
mous centipedes from theirholes and crunch
them between their teeth, but insects and
their larva: are favorite foods in many parts
of the world.
CATERPILLAR A DELJCACT.
In the West Indies a large caterpillar,
found on the palm tree, is reckoned a great
delicacy and why not, let us aks? To our
civilized taste, however, carrion and bad
eggs seem food which no human being could
relisb. Not so; the Chinese prefer stale to
fresh eges, and tbe Pariahs of HindnosUn
fight greedily with the dogs and jackals for
putrid carrion. They would relish the
rousette. a kind of bat plentiful in Java,
which the natives vajue; bnt, although its
flesh is white, delicate and tender, it gen
erally smells strongly of mnsk. The Nagus
also eats raw meat.
Among the Greenlanders and the Esqui
maux the seal is an important food, and, in
spite of being coarse and oily, Was formerly
eaten in England. The porpoise was also
an English dish, and its liver is, when
fried, still, we believe, relished by sailors.
Arctic explorers have lound the walrus very
palatable, and it is largely consnmed by the
Esquimaux. The Japanese, New Zealand
ers and Westeru Australians consider the
whale good eating; and the Esquimaux
highly approve of blabber, and get through
with enormous quantities. The crocodile is
greedily devoured by the natives of certain
districts of Africa. Its eggs in taste resem
ble hen's eggs, with perhaps a smack of
custard.
CURIOUS ENGLISH FOODS.
To come to ou country, where we do not
eat sauerkraut and blubber, birds' nests and
puppies, we shall, nevertheless, find some
odd foods; The hedgehog, a favorite dish
in Barbarv. and not disapproved in Spain,
.18907
is eaten by Gipsies. Squirrels, too, are oc
casionally cooked in this country, and are
most delieious and fully as palatable as
jugged hare; at any rate we have ourselves
stewed them, and we can testify that they
are excellent. It is even said that frogs are
often eaten in the north of England. In some
parts of England snails are still eaten, not
as ordinary articles of diet, but at stated
feasts. We have in bygone days, when
living on the borders of the nail-making
districts of Staffordshire, seen men filling
paper bags with snails to make soup, and
we remembered being told that they were
excellent eating. Tbe English .prejudice
aeaihst snails Is singular, since from time
immemorial considerable quantities have
been collected round London and on the
Kent pastures for export.to France. In the
latter country there is no squeamishness;
most people there only regret that snails are
too expensive to be indulged in frequently.
In Covent Garden the common snail often
appears for sale; the purchasers, however,
are almost exclusively members of the
French, Austrian and Italian colonies of
London. v

EOTHSCHHJ) TOO SMOOTH.
now He Bent n Committee of Communists
Tbnt Wanted Him to Divide.
Chicago News.
During the Bevolutionary period in Paris
in 1848 a committee of seven Communists
called at the Eothschild establishment and
demanded to see the famous banker. Eoths
child appeared, as suaye as you please.
"Pray be seated, gentlemen," said he; "now
what can I do for you?"
"Eothschild," said the chairman of the
committee, "our time has come at last.
The people are triumphant the Commune
is on top." '
"Good for the people vive la Commune!"
cried Eothschild, gleefully.
"The time has come," continued the
chairman of the committee, "when each
must share equally with his fellow citizen.
We have been delegated to call upon you
and inform you that you must share your
enormous wealth with your countrymen."
"If it is so decreed," said Eothschild, ur
banely, "I shall cheerfully comply. At
how-much is my fortune estimated?"
"At 200,000,000 francs," replied the
leader, boldly.
"And at what is the population of France
estimated?" asked Rothschild.
"We figure it 50,000,000," was the answer.
"Well, then," said Eothschild, "it would
appear that I owe each of mv countrymen
aSout 4 francs. Now, here, gentlemen," he
continued, putting his hand in his pocket
and producing a lot ot silver, "here are 28
francs for you. I have paid each of you,
nave I not? "Please give me your receipt
therefor; and so, good day to you."
The committee retired, add the Commune
never pesteted the wary financier again.
BOHING AN EGO.
An Expert Says It Mnst be Put la Cold
Wntefto be First Class.
Chicago Tribune.!
"Isn't it strange," said a short, foreign
looking man the other day to some compan
ions while lunching together at one of the
restaurants, "that not one cook in 60, nor
housekeeper either, knows how to boil an
egg? And yet most people think they know
this simple matter. Tbey will tell you to
drop it into boiling water and let it remain
three minutes, and to be spre the water is
boiling.
"Here is where the mistake is made. An
e?g so prepared is indigestible, and hardly
fit for a well person, let alone one Who is
sick, to eat. The moment it is plunged into
boiling water the white hardens and tough
ens. To boil an egg properly pnt it in a
vessel, cover with cold water, place over the
fire and the second the water begins to boil
your erg is done. The white is as delicate
as a jelly and as easily digested and nutri
tious, as it should-be. Try it."
The information is worthy of considera
tion, since the speaker has occupied the
place of chef at several of the largest hotels
in the country.

3Ir. George Kephart, No. 7 Grantham street,
Allegheny.
Talking with Mr. George Kephart, an em
ploye of the well known Westinghouse Air
brake Company, and who resides at No. 7
Grantham street, Allegheny, the writer put
the following question to him: I see yon have
been treating with Drs. Copeland & Blair for
some time. What has been your experience?
"Satisfactory in every sense of lhe word."
was the prompt reply.
"I had been bothered with catarrh and its at
tendant symptoms for about five years previous
to the time I consulted tbem. So completely
harassed was I with these pains and sensations
that I felt wholly unfit for either work or the
enjoyment of the pleasures of life like other
young men of my age I saw about me.
"I would have a dull, heavy feeling through
tho front part of my head. My nostrils were
continually stopping up with the least cold, and
mucus from my bead would drop down into
my throat, where it would assume a thick, ten
acious consistency, which would be almost Im
possible to cougb out.
"I would have queer noises in mv ears, which
I at first attributed to soap getting into them,
but when my bearing began to leave me, I
found it was something more serious. I bad
pain: in my chest, wbich would shift from in
front to aronnd under tbe shoulder blades. I
had a short, jerky, hacking coogb, which
seemed to me to come from the stomach, which
was in bad condition.
"My appetite was poo-', and when I did eat
anything, I would feel unnaturally full across
tbe stomach. My nights were restless and
when tbe time came to get up In the morning I
was "always tired and felt disinclined to move.
In fact, I bad no ambition at all.
"Hearing much of Drs. Copeland and Blair 1
was persuaded to try tbem. and you can say for
me that I am more than glad I did so. For, as
you can see, X am to-day a well man. AH the
symptoms I have mentioned bare, under their
skillful and systematic treatment, entirely dis
appeared, and I consider myself as well as ever
I was in my life, and I will gladly confirm what
I have said to anyone who will take the trouble
to see me at my borne."
