EiETH RAKSACKED FOB MATERIALS. fiict Tract; CarriJje Eooms aid Baifict tci Ee ceptioB Halls Under One ooL rcoBBrsrojrcuotcx op toi EisrJiTcn.i Syracuse, "N. X., August 23. The fin ishing touches have finally been put upon the costliest (tables in the world, and D. .Edgar Cronse, of this city, is in possession of a palace for his corses that far surpasses in elegance any structure erected for a like purpose. Complete, the stables represent an outlay of over 5700,000. Three years haTe been spent in their erection, and drafts have been made unto the farthest ends of the earth for material with which to excel all patterns for the science oi construction, and all limitations in beautiful ornamenta tion. An adequate description of these stables will sound like a chapter from Monte Cristo or the Arabian Nights tales. The masonry on which the building stands is of cut stone laid in Portland cement, a substitute for mortar which en tailed a greater expense, but must add durability to the work. The foundations are of extra thickness and were more than once relaid to correct possible, not apparent defects. The front of the building is some 60 feet in extent on Mulberry street and some 80 feet deep on the alley at the rear of the Crouse mansion. The stable is three stories in height, exclusive of the gables, Tinder the roois of which another habitable floor has been fitted up. THS MATERIALS USED. The materials used in the construction were red sand stone quarried in "New Hamp shire, Trenton brick, encaustic tile and terra cotta. The first floor is enclosed in sand stone, above which the brick super structure rises. The architect has msinly depended on giving the front elevation ef fectiveness by skillful adherence to sym metry, its fine expanse being comparatively unorosen, except oy a Duitressea emmney, with carved base, orojecting louthofthe main entrance which occupies a central position. The exterior, impressive and imposing as it is, does not prepare one for the splendor of the interior. The rarest and most costly woods, combined with the most exquisite workmanship, have made the rooms wonders of the designer's and joiner's craft. There is no veneering nor imitation here. The woods used in finishing the rooms are San Domingo mahogany, ebony, bethabia, white holly, California redwood and antique oak. The basement has been divided off into compartments for storing discarded equi pages, coal cellars, wash rooms, cleaning rooms and for the heating apparatus. An elliptical track one-eighth of a mile long has been laid ont in the eastern end of the base ment, which will be nsed during inclement weather on which to exercise the horses. COaiPIVETELY EQUIPPED, On the first floor are the stables, reception room and two offices fronting on Mulberry street. A billiard room, drawing room and dining room are on the second floor, besides the spaces over the stables proper, which will be used for storing hay, oats and straw. The main entrancejs on Mulberry street, and is led up to by wide, heavy steps of gray granite. The entrance hall is in the early English style. The woodwork is en tirely of mahogany, richly carved and panelled, and wonderfully beautifnl in de sign and execution. Tbe floor is of tiled mosaics, and the ceiling is composed of small panels in honey-combed work. Two heavy mahogany doors open into the lobby. The lobby is separated Irom the rooms by hangings of rich Turkish draperies, over which are open spaces, so that when the portieres are drawn the lobby is lighted from above, as well as through the glass in the doors. The woodwork in the lobby is of mahogany, inlaid with ebony. The wain scoting is abont 3 feet 6 inches high. Be tween the base and rail of the wainscoting are placed glazed tile of chocolate and yel low, surrounded by intricate lacings. The walls are of mahogany inlaid with ebony worked in panels. A small block of ebony two inches square acts as a bottom, around which break the moldings forming a basket. The ceiling is put together in alternating square blocks of glazed black tile and mahogany beautifully molded and carved. a. -world's -wonder. The room which is entered from the rieht of the lobby is probably one of the most ex pensively decorated rooms in the world. The woodwork is entirely of solid rosewood. This room will be used as a reception room. The curtains and portieres are of the richest texture, and in their artistic tone fully harmonize with the deep, warm color of the rosewood; thus, in spite of Us massiveness, the room suggests that which is so often lacking in an apartment nsed for such purposes hospitality and ease. The floor is an ex quisite piece of mosaic work, wrought from rare and costly woods, and in its entirety represents a mammoth bouquet of flowers. The woods used in its construction are mahogany, bird's-eye maple, bethabia, white holly and California redwood. The extended wall space has been dealt with in the most pleasing manner. A rose wood base about 12 incjies wide runs the whole length withont perceptible break. Rising from tbe base to the rail of the wainscoting are exquisitely molded pilasters, holding in place large slabs of elaborately designed tile glazed in yellow and bine. The tiling is flanked on either side by narrow strips of molding. On entering, the artistic eye realizes at a glance how much to these tiles is due the pleasing tone of the room, relieving as they do the too woody effect that wonld be sure to exist without them. Prom the wainscoting to the irieze line are beaded moldings interlacing each other, set with carved rosettes. A. MAGNIFICENT MANTEL. Between the windows is placed the man tel. An attempt to give a description of this wonld convey but a faint idea of its magnificence. It consists of two parts, the Jower one simple in its outline, the upper massive, yet graceful, with columns, Pilas ters, cornice and other artistic details. Prob ably no room in the United States shows finer specimens of woodcarving and mold ing than arevisible in the frieze.cornice and ceiling of this. A frieze eight inches wide, highly polished, runs the entire round of the room. The design is plain except for ft narrow bead running lengthwise in its cen ter. Above the frieze is a narrow picture molding, which hides the joint and makes a base for the massive cove that joins the cor nice with the ceiling and completes an im mense canopy. This cove is of solid rose wood, three feet in width, and runs the en tire round of the room without apparent break. The ceiling is of rosewood, con atrncted with delicate bead moldings and beautifully paneled, the panels being most elaborately carved. A feature of this room is the immense chandelier of solid brass in Italian repousse work, disporting all manner oi figures and trailing vines. The fixture is suspended by means of three large brass rings linked to gether descending from the celling and ter minating with a grace lul hook similar to that of a bishop's crosier. AJTOTHEB JUST AS OBAXD. j, The most pleasing conception of the artis tic tone of the corresponding office, opening from the lett of the lobby, will be gained by drawing the portieres and viewing it at full length from the rosewood room. As one gazes the large mantel mirror seems to transform the room into an almost endless hall. Much of the massive' expression of the room is due to the heavy cornice and wide frieze. A beautiful piano is to placed against the eastern wall and will, in a meas ure, serve to break its great breadth. The piano case is also of mahogany and will be sympathetic in color and tone to the rest of the room. A dainty elevator, done off in mahogany, rosewood and brass, connects the two offices with tbe apartments above, and is entered from the rosewood room. Ascending to the next floor, the first vista strikes one with a sense ot the rich and magnificent This apartment will be used as a drawing room. The woodwork is of the best quality of ma hogany and is put into the highest state of finish. The wainscoting is constructed of large panels, highly polished and flanked on either side by heavy mnllions. The nanels are abont five foet long, and are held in their places by richly carved and eleJ gantly molded pilasters. A wide, deep rail of nearly ten Inches, hides tbe joint between tbe wainscoting and wall, and rum entirely around the room. Harrow yet beautifully designed pilasters rise from rail to 'frieze, disposed of abont six inches apart. Between these pilasters are alternating panels, elaborately carved, and so constructed as to give the wall a honey-comb appearance. BIBDS THAT ALMOST IXT. The pen falters in attempting a descrip tion of the frieze and ceiling. At the base of the frieze, running the entire length of the room, is a heavy mold, highly polished. The Irieze itself is wrought in representa tion of the plumage of birds, and so delicate are the tracings, so exquisite the chiseling, that it seems almost as if a breath of air might move them. This lovely frieze is fully two feet in width, and is flanked on either side by narrow, beaded mullions. Above it comes the cove,, three feet wide, entirely of solid mahogany and polished to rival a mirror in its brilliancy and powers of reflection. In the center of the ceiling, set diamond-wise, is a large, beveled French plate mirror. Descending from the center of this is a chandelier, of solid brass, with its many grotesque figures and filigree work. Some of the panels are in relief, feathers and medallions covering their en tire surface, while others are plain and highly polished. In the dining room the immense side board, 13 feet wide and 13 feet in height, breaks the long wall space on the east This sideboard was built in Syracuse and at a cost of about 52,000. A ton and a half of mahogany was used in its construction, and as this wood is bought by the pound its value may be guessed at WONDERFUL IN DETAIL. The dining room is connected with the culinary department on the third floor by means of dummy waiters and an elevator. Tbe kitchen and buttery are complete in every appointment The woodwork is of Norway pine matched and polished. The billiard .room, and indeed all the other rooms, are finished in a style almost as grand. Entertainment for beast will be provided on the floor immediately beneath the billiard room. What is described as the receiving room of the stable is a spacious apartment beautifully finished in antique oak. A horse's head is delineated in beautiful etch work upon each of the heavy plate glass windows set in the massive mahogany doors that bwing open from the driveway on the sonth into this room. Heavv rubber mat ting cover the stable halls. The floors on either side of this matting are to be heavily protected with the richest Turkish carpet ing to be procured. Long cabinets, with paneled doors constructed ot fine grain oak, line either side, in which are to be hung the harnesses. The fonrth floor, under the Eloping roof, is finished in H" orway pine and is used as a tankroom. THE HORSE STALLS. From the receiving room an inclined plane covered with rubber matting, leads down into the basement and opens upon the track on which the horses are to be exer cised dnrin? unnrocitious weather. The .roadbed is made solid.by grouting two feet in depth covered by a heavy lining of adamant There are 14 stalls. The wood work is entirely of oak and has been brought up to the highest state of finish. Heavy pilasters are made to serve as door casings, and rise from tbe floor to the tops of the doors, meeting a deep frieze which runs around the entire length. Above each door is a paneled transom, richly carved in scroll work and vinery. D. Edgar Cronse, the owner of these stables, is the wealthiest person in Syracuse. For several years he has enjoyed an exten sive popularity as a horseman. At Sara toga, the Mecca to which every reinsman turns his face with the coming of summer, he is a conspicuous figure in the procession of turnouts which wend their way to and from the lake at the driving hours." At no one's hands, save the late William H. Van derbilt's, behind Hand S. and Early Bose, did Mr, Cronse ever take a grain of dust in that frisky throng. His horses are invaria bly the best that money can buy, and in their company he finds the keenest pleasure of being a millionaire. James Nolan. POISON FOB CEMHTAIS. A Philadelphia Doetor Prefers It to Death by Electricity or Hanging. Philadelphia Press. "In case I had to be executed," said the senior resident physician of the Pennsylva nia Hospital, "I would prefer to be sent to my last long sleep by poison than by either electrothany or hanging. I think it a less barbarous and less painful way. There are a number of poisons that might be nsed for such a purpose, though I doubt very much if such a way of executing criminals wonld ever be adopted in this or any other civil, ized country. Nearly all of them act more rapidly when given hypodermically, and that, I think, would be the best way of ad ministering them. "The poison above all others that I think would give the best results as ameans of exe cution is morphia. If one grain of mor phia is injected into the arm of any ordi nary man, the dose repeated an honr after ward, tbe man would pass away in a quiet sleep. He would drop off into a delicious slumber, and from this painless sleep there would be no waking. Of course, if the man was addicted to the use of morphine, such a course could not be pursued, or the dose would have to be enlarged. "Hydrocyanic acid, better known to the general public in the form of prnssic acid, is another poison that might be utilized this way. It is probably the most rapid of poisons. It is so deadlv that when inhaled it causes death. Smelling and tasting it is very dangerous. It should not be experi mented with save in a draught, and It should not be handled in summer. It is supposed that Scheele, who discovered prussic acid, died from inhaling tne fumes, as be was found dead in his laboratory. A person taking it in one corner of the room would, I have been informed, die before he could take two jumps to another corner. The man would have convulsions, but be would fall unconscious as he was seized with them. "Aconite is also very rapid. Adminis tered hypodermically it would canse death in less than a minute. A well-known doctor was taken sick in the night and told his wile to get him a bottle of medicine. She handed him in mistake a bottle of aconite. He took a big dose, and recognized instantly from tbe tingling sensation about his lips what he had swallowed. 'My dear,' he said, 'yon have given me aconite.' The next'minute he was unconicions and soon he was dead."

America Produces tne Best Articls and the World Uses It. EXPERTS IK EAK1KG AND SMOKING nramni ron tot DisrATen.i It is astonishing to find what erroneous ideas are imbibed, as it were by instinct, npon subjects of general interest, with which we are in daily touch. The cigarette is no exception, and, although known to everyone by sight, there are any quantity of people of the present generation who appear to imagine that the United States were the originators of this form of smoking, and still more who will be profonndly'astonlshed to learn that cigarette smoking was a uni versal custom in foreign lands generations before the centerboard craft of Christopher Colnmbns plowed the Atlantic Ocean. The origin of the cigarette is unknown as favaa Tkqh lpnrn And thfi two efiTliest as well as the most primitive, records of it are found among the Samoan Islanders, who when first known rolled a few twigs of dried tobacco leaf in a green leaf from a tree, lit it and smoked it for a few whiffs, and then threw it away to roll another; the other in stance is the inhabitants of Cuba, who when discovered were found to be smoking tobacco rolled in a dried maize leaf. The name cigarette was not evolved until com paratively recent years, and is derived from cigarros, which in turn is derived from cigarah, which name was given by the early smokers to the practice of smoking, owing to it generally taking place in a garden, nnder the waving trees, and among the chirping of the grasshoppers. At least so say the Cubans, and they should know. HISTORT OF THE ROLL. The best starting point for the cigarette,' or small roll of tobacco, is said to be in the Pacific Islands, where Samoa is situated, and that from there it was transmitted through the Bornean Dyaks and Malays to Singapore, and thence through Hindoostan to Bussia. In Hindoostan at the present time tbe roll of Tunkah leaf is'still seen in the month of every adult, and in Burmah evervone smokes them. A maiden presents her lover with cigarettes and helps him to smoke them, and every woman will be found to have a large or small hole in tbe lobe ot the right ear into which she slips the cigar ette or cigar she is smoking when she wants to use both hands. It is no uncommon thing for lovers to "trade" smokes that are half consumed, and in the bazaar one fre quently sees a girl making purchases re move her cigarette from her mouth and hand it to her escort to keep alight until she is ready to receive it again. In, Siam every baby smokes, and if one cries while the mother nurses it, she will put the cigarette she is smoking into its month to quiet it Tbe children rnn abont naked and so have no pockets, and it is no uncom mon thing to see one with a cigarette stuck behind each ear and another in its mouth as it runs along the street CONSUMPTION IN RUSSIA. In Africa, the cigarette is practically un known, which is the more curious as all other forms of smoking, long pipes, water pipes, earth pipes, and also snnff-taking are commonly practiced. In Bussia everyone smokes cigarettes of all kinds and all quali ties.. So great is the consumption that, one factory alone, that of Boganoff & Co., is credited by the official returns with a yearly dutput of 2,500,000,000 cigarettes, or about 300,000,000 more than the total output of the industry of the United States. These, how ever, are mostly of very low quality, made of a coarse-grained, rank, badly-cured to bacco, and not at all comparable with even the lowest quality we. make. They are smoked principally by the monjicks or peasants, and are principally wrapped in a heavy paper, - which is colored brown by steeping it in a preparation of iron. A characteristic of the Bussian cigarette is that it always has a mouth-piece of card. The small quantity of fine grade goods are made of the finest" grade of Turkish leaf, for which fabulous prices are paid, for no mat ter what the product be, whether cigarettes, Havana cigars, Chinese tea or champagne, tbe very finest grade always "finds a market among the rich nobles of Russia at prohibi tive prices. I have bought cigarettes in Moscow at IS cents each. One of the most recent innovations is a cigarette made or denicotinized tobacco by a Pottawa firm, but they are alkaline; pungent and charac terless, and can never become popnlar. THE TURKISH CIOAEETTE. It is strange that the mention of a cigarette should naturally be linked with the thought of Turkey, and that Turkish cigarettes should be a synoym in tbe trade, when Turkey manufactures but very few and very poor cigarettes, and smokes still less. It is, however, beyond doubt a won derful country for the peculiar grade of leaf required for the European taste. Austria troubles little about cigarettes, ana although tbe German is more addicted to pipes of a volnminous size and length and cigars that nre'calcnlated to lower the rents of property adjacent to the confirmed smoker, a tremen dous quantity of cigarettes are made from tbe finest down. France is generally styled the "nation of cigarette smokers," bnt as few but domestio made goods are allowed to be sold there, and the total production is estimated at 2,900, 000,000 a year, it is not so very great, as the popnlation of France and her colonies nearly equals that ot the United States, so that we run her very close for the record in point of average consumption per head. The cigar ettes of France are a nightmare. Words cannot describe them, although many Ameri cans, eminently gifted, have done their best. The only1 excuse far the nation smoking them is, they cannot get anything better, there being but tiro places in Paris where Ameri can cigarettes are sold, and these are sold at just double their price here. IN A SPANISH FACTOBT. A Spanish factory is a picture, one at Seville has 2,500 girls employed, sitting in rows of 20 each. The room is low and is a blaze of color, for every girl has a handker chief round her neck and a bright flower be hind her ear. All along the walls hang the rich colored out door dresses, and a babel of tongues run never tiring. A married wo man is allowed to bring her baby, and the aisles are crowded with cradles which are rocked with one foot while the two hands of the mother are busy rolling cigarettes. In the very hot weather a bell is' rung before visitors are admitted, and entering one sees a twinkling of white arms and shoulders as mantillas are hastily thrown on to hide the great dishabelle rendered necessary to se cure comfort in working. They smoke if they wish and although theyearn only abont 2 Iiesetas or 40 cents a day, they are a merry ot . The Spaniards are tbe most expert smok ers in the world. I have seen a Spaniard take a heavy pull at his cigarette, inhale it, take up a wine skin, or wine bottle, pour a half pint down his throat, holding the ves sel a foot from his mouth and not spill a drop, and then with a sigh of satisfaction close bis eyes, and exhale the smoke from nose and mouth in clonds. They will also inhale the smoke, converse for a few min utes in a natural manner, and 'hen blowout the smoke. ROLLED 'WITS ONE HAND. In Yucatan men, women and children smoke, and hundreds of girls are employed in making cigarettes. The better class of people make their own, and in town, village and city the ladles may be seen sitting be hind the prison-like gratings of the windows ot the houses deftly rolling up tobacco in a small piece of maize husk and smoking these cigarettes incessantly, claiming that the toasting of the maize husk as it burns gives a delicate flavor to the cigarette, far surpassing that of tobaeeo leaf or paper, So PITTSBURG DISPATCH, adept do these people become in the man ipulation of the fragrant roll that it is not unusual to see a lady fan herself with one hand, and with the other tear off a piece of maize husk, gather up a portion of tobacco, and with one band roll it up with a deft, quick motion, and convey it to the mouth. It is almost impossible to describe this achievement The tobacco is gathered in a pinch In the palm of the hand, the husk be ing held in the fingers, a jerk otthe wrist turning tbe hand under drops it on the husk, and the two first Sneers and thumb roll it up. They cannot do" the trick at all if they try to do it slowly. In Brazil the cigarette is also wrapped in maize husk and is omni present, and a traveler newly landed and taking a ride on a surface car, receives a se vere shock when a richly dressed young lady on a seat in front of him, turns around and asks the loan of his cigar to light the cigarette she has rolled with one hand in the recesses of her pocket. INTRODUCTION TO AMERICA. Previous to 18C7 we had only the Cuban make to supply our then very limited wants, but in the midwinter of 1867 two Armenians came as emigrants from Constantinople to New York. They were the Bedrossian brothers, and they brought with them a stock of 100 pounds of gennine Turkish to bacco for the purpose of introducing it In Februarv, 1867 they hired a store and with two workmen commenced the manufacture of Turkish cigarettes, unknowingly laying the fonndation stone of the preseut industry. Abont 1872 the industry began to boom; in 1877-8 they commenced to be exported to England; in 1885 pictures were first given away, and in 1890, with a yearly output of about 2,200,000,000 cigarettes, tbe five prin cipal firms formed a grand combination nn der the name ot the American Tobacco Com pany. As regards the methods ot production em ployed by the principal firms there is little to be said except that, notwithstanding all sensational reports to the contrary, the sys tem ot health, sanitation and cleanliness is perfect, and that only the finest quality of leaf is used, combined with nothing but the neoessary amount ot moisture required to work the tobacco. What method the I'acr tories making the very cheap goods may employ is immaterial, as their combined output is very limited, but the principal factories are above suspicion in this respect England gets her snpply from America. John Bull knows a good article when he meets it THE CIGARETTE "WRAPPER. As regards the paper used for wrapping cigarettes it is not made of rice, bnt either of fine linen or the pith of a plant The cheaper grades are wrapped in a very com mon paper made from rye straw, etc A new paper hailing from France is called papier aux sels de Vichy, or literally paper of Vichy salts, and it is claimed that a reg ular use of this paper will have the same moderate but desirable effect npon the in testines obtained by the water of the Vicby springs. A wonderful machine in use in Paris cuts tbe paper, counts them, lastens them into cardboard cases, labels them, at taches the rnbber bands and delivers them ready for sale to the French consumer. There has been mpch said abont opium in cigarettes, and it is as well to set this idea straight right here. Aside from tbe high price of opium there is one special reason .why it is not put into cigarettes, and is never likely to be, and as it would not burn, but would fall off unconsumed with the ash. When opinm is smoked it takes abont one minute ,to "boil" the opium for each pipe and get it dry enough to be burnea and inhaled at one swift draught If this were not done immediately it would absorb .moisture from the 'atmosphere and wonld not burn. Now place opium in a cigarette containing moisture until it is saturated, and consequently will not bnrn at all. Apart from all other arguments of reason or policy, this one statement of un deniable fact should be sufficient to set at rest the question of opinm in the cigarette. ARE THEY INJURIOUS? Much has been said about the injurious character of the cigarette. But as a matter of fact, onr best medical experts agree in re garding the cigarette as the most innocuous form ot using tobacco if nsed in moderation and without inhaling. When inhaled it is the paper that deadens or kills the young tissues and prevents them fructifying in a natural way, and oonseqnently the stamina and general health of the smoker fails by degrees according to his physique. If a pipe or a cigar were inhaled it would be injurious in a smaller degree, but the smoke of those is not generally taken into the lungs. An absurd idiotio fashion has decreed that the smoke of the cigarette mnst be inhaled, and any excess in this di rection is generally to be found among that peculiar type which can best te spared in any community, it being eminently survival of the fittest It is especially worthy of note in this connection, that in the Turko Bussia war, the men who fought so gal lantly, handicapped by insufficient ration and clothing amid all the rigors of a Balkan winter, were to a man, confirmed cigarette smokers.

New York Sun.J The establishment of a co-operative ahop by the cloakmakers has awakened consid erable interest In the pet scheme of labor reformers. One of the oldest and most prosperous of these enternrises is the Solid arity Watch Case Company of Brooklyn. This company was formed in the early part of 1885 by 60 members of the United Watch Case Makers, a trades organization founded on the usual principles of a labor union. It was resolved to form a stock company, and, in order to gain a solid footing among the numerous other concerns engaged in this trade, to fix the nominal capital stock at 550,000. Nearly every member of the union bought a few shares to start with, and work was begun with nine men. A suit able plant bad been purchased, and the workshop was stocked with all the necessary tools and enough gold to keep the men busy for at least a week. The plan was a perfect success. Before the week was ont more men were taken in and the facilities for turning out watch cases were extended. An agent was sent to New York to fix up an office on Broadway and to dispose of the products of the shop. At the end of the month the company had orders for more goods than the men then employed could possibly make, and accordingly new men were taken in. The company has been established over five years now, and every month of its ex istence at least one new man has been em ployed, but few have been discharged. The result is that to-day there , are 95 happy watch case makers, working for wages as good as if not better than those of any other man who follows that trade, and holding an interest in the profits that accrue from his labor.

At times they are so numerous in tbe Karluk river that it is impossible for a boat to lorce its way through them in crossing a stream. On one occasion a seine 90 feet in length took an enormons draft of fish. About 7,000 salmon were dressed out of it from 6 a.m. to 6 P. M., and afterward tbe men were oc cupied three hours in cleaning the seine. The remainder of the fish were in a mass four feet deep. During 1889 250,000. cases, of eight pounds each, of salmon were put up on the Karluk. The whole catch for four months amounted to 12,000,000 pounds of canned fish.. In one day 150,000 Ted salmon of an aver age weight ot ten pound were taken.

The Good WiTes Barely Come From the Factories and the Stores. J0I8 AND WOES 0? WEDDED LIFE iwairijm xon tot hispatcb.1 Marriage is the summit of 'the average girl's ambition, and, alas, how often tbe ambition is gratified at the cost of every thing that makes life worth living. Desir able aslt may be to be coupled to one of the "lords of creation," one cannot help peep ing into tome of the homes of poverty, dirt and squalor, and wondering what there is about it that makes marriage bo entrancing. There are thousands of so-called homes in this land where women toil from the rising of tbe sun to the setting of the same for naught on earth but their daily bread and the few rags which cover their attenuated bodies. Before entering this enchanting state, many of them scorned the idea of earning an honest living in domestio life, with some family where comfort and luxury even might be theirs. "No indeed; what, Every reader of The Dispatch wilT recognize this picture. Bather stand in a store or work in a factory all through the weary day, living in cheap lodgings or in some thread-bare home in aback alley, than take her meals in a clean, neat and cheerful kitchen. It is trne, "there's no place like home," and, looking into some of them, I thank God there isn't Brtnca Ont the Soar Side. Thousands of American girls spend their days nnder circumstances which give them no experience in the cnlinary art When they are married the sour part of the hus band's nature soon begins to manifest itself under the stimulus of ill-cooked food and slatternly honsekeeping. A little while, and the bloom departs from the cheek, the brightness from the eye, the lightness from the step, while puny, unkemnt children make confusion worse confounded. Such a home has little charm for the average man. He is apt to make contrasts, in which, if his wife has no domestic qualifications, or only such as those described, she suffers by the comparison. What is there about domestio work that it belittles our young women more than any other kind of employment? If young men knew as much before marriage as they find out after, there would be a different state oi affairs I imagine. If I were a mechanio and desired to find a suitable wife, I would rather try my luck over tbe area railing of some rich man's mansion than hang around a drygoods store or a factory, waiting for a wan and weary girl whose head is always Sching, and who i always tired. Bather the red hand of domestio industry than the cold and clammy digits of one whose per petual round of toil robs life of its brightest sunshine and saps away its young vitality. Which is the most irksome, to stand all the live-long day behind a connter, beneath tbe argus-eyed gaze of a snobbish floor walker, snubbed every moment of the day by aristo cratic customers, or to be queen of some kitchen, where, though not seeing or seen so much, the work is not so hard, and where she is preparing to fill some workingman's home with bright, glad sunbeams? A Wronged Woman. There are people who are" ever pitying lonely old maids. It is the fashion to cari cature them. Many times the facetious scribbler does a cruel wrong in this direction- That there are crabbed old maids from whose presence it is not irreverent to exclaim,. "Good Lord, deliver us," I do not deny, but they are few and far between. Almost every family has its maiden aunt or sister. Nine times ont of ten she is an angel in disguise, like the blessed Master, "going abont doing good." You will find her in the sick room, smoothing rnmpled pillows, soothing aching brows and cooling fevered lips, many a time rocking some other woman's baby to sleep while she lies with the shadow of death hovering near. Think yon that snch a life is a purposeless one, or that heaven does not smile npon her labors of love? Time out of mind have I met this character. She is entitled to re spect and honor. Denied the intimate com panionship of man, knowing not the joys of motherhood, her heart's best instincts find their outlet in deeds of kindly love and self sacrifice for the good of others. Which is the better life, this, or that of the slovenly, lounging, aimless and insipid wife and mother whose children advertise her negli gence, and whose husband goes to his home when every other place of resort is closed against him. Women on the Farm. One of our greatest poets has ventured to assert that there are circumstances on earth which cause the angels in heaven to weep. While I am not sufficiently versed in angel ology to corroborate or deny such an asser tion, I am sure that if they can they do weep when they get a glimpse into tbe homes of some of our farmers' wives. I am dealing with exceptions now, and in this case I am afraid there are not enough rules to cover the exceptions. With the rising of the sun, and often long before, the dav's lapor begins. The farmer s wife is frequently the first to arise. Before the gray mist of the morning clears her lord and master and all the little lords mnst have their breakfast Amid the fumes of fat and the splutter of griddle cakes she gets her morning bath of perspiration. When all other appetites are satisfied her's frequently is too, although she has not tasted a mouthlul. She has breathed enough of the breakfast through her open pores to satisfy nature's cravings. In comes tbe moraine's milk before she has gulped down a enp of coffee. It must be at tended to. As she strains and fixes it she hears the melodious voices of a horde of hnngry little pigs crying for their share. All around the kitchen door tbe famishing chickens are cackling and fighting over some silly worm that has gotten np too early in the morning. The children must be gotten ready for school, and their dinners packed. But what is the use of multiplying words? oo it goes all the day, from one year s end to another. This-is the lot of thousands of wo men. They delve and work and scheme and patch and save and darn all through life, and when, finally, nature gets up a re bellion and the cold grave receives the mor tal remains of the tired wife and mother, it is called "the inscrutable decree of Provi dence." The clods of the valley fall upon the casket. The form is so thin and wasted that it sounds very hollow; There is not much in that coffin if the flowers and furbe lows were taken out. Flowers? What mockery! Through life naught but work and toil, toil and work. Flowers indeedl Better spread a few along the path of life and less upon the grave, Bethinks. Put no flowers npon my grave, I'll take my flowers now; I want no wreath of roses brave To deck my pallid brow. i A Brighter Picture. I would -not have the many Tcaders of The Dispatch imagine that all farmers' wives have such a lot as this, or that all the homes where the.wife has not had girlhood training to domestio work are so desolate. Many a farmer's home is a perfect bower of bliss and sweet content, where the good an gel of love, with ever-spreading wings, hov ers near, from tbe springtime of life to its hoary winter. There are those who think that women were not created simply to slave through life for men. There are farmer. area, who beliero that $, woman Is atitled 1890; to some little share in the good things that come to life. There are farms where the music of the parlor organ, and even the piano, may be heard mingling its melody with the lowing kine and tbe neighing horses. Yon will generally find good fences, neat outbuildings and carefully-kept garden spots near snch homes as this. There may not be quite so much money in the bank.nor such a proad acreage ot land under tillage, but there is home and love and peace a galaxy ot blessings infinitely superior to dollars and cents andpenuriousness. Around snch home's the weeds seldom grow, and the laborers do not groan. What wonld be slavery to tbe farmer's wife alone, is, comparatively speaking, pastime with the rosy girl who helps her in her duties till the daughters gain strength and education to fit them to fill their places. One of tbe best investments on a farm is a good girl in the kitchen. Instead of the haggard, wearv look npon the farmer's wife's cheek you will see the expression of content Not a Heaven at But. At best the life is a lonely one. It is try ing and tying. Not for long can she leave ber home. Once a week to church and pos sibly once a week or so to some neighboring town, v here all her time is taken in trad ing this and that to make all ends meet She sees little of society, and has not very mneh"time for books if her inclination leans in- that direction. Surely her home should be made as pleasant as possible. And further, there are girls who have had no chance to know much about household duties who are very apt at learning. Many a man of moderate means has won a happy helpmeet from the store and the factory. A criticism that does not open the door for ex ceptions is always unjust Bright and blithesome is many a house from the good offices of such a one. And yet it must be acknowledged that the general rule holds. Let every yourig man try to get a wife. It is his du'tv. "Her price is above rubies." That is to say it ought to be. Well, it is if she be true and virtuous, and strives to fill her mission, which is neither to rnle or be ruled, but to be a true helpmeet indeed. Oh, woman, in onr hours o( ease, Uncertain, coy and bard to please. When pain and sickness rack tbe brow, Then, ministering angel thon. The "country Parson. EXPLT5Q MEETS TWAIN. IIow the Indian Soldier Wa Received by the Great American Hnmarlit. Budyard Kipling tells in an article printed in the New York Herald how he met Mark Twain. He chased all over several square miles of territory before he cornered the hnmoristathis brother-in-law's house. "As I rang the bell," says Kipling, "it occurred to me for the first time Mark Twain might possibly have other engage ments than tbe entertainment of escaped lunatics from India, be they ever so full of admiration. And in another man's house anyhow what had I come to do or say? Sup pose the drawing room shonld be full of people, a levee of crowned heads; snppose a baby were sick anywhere, howwas I to ex plain I only wanted to shake hands with him?;: "Then things happened somewhat in this order. A big, darkened drawing room, a huge chair, a man with eyes, a mane of grizzled hair, a brown mustache covering a mouth as delicate as a woman's, a strong, sqnare hand shaking mine, and the slowest, calmest, levelest voice in all the world' sayinz: " "Well, yon think you owe me some thing and you've come to tell me so. That's what I call squaring a debt handsomely.' " 'Pif 1' from a cob pipe (I always said a Missouri meerschaum was the best smoking in the world; and behold Mark Twain had curled himself up in the big arm chair and I was smoking reverently, as befits one in the presence of his superior. "The thing that struck me first was that he was an elderly man, yet, afteramoment's thought, I perceived that it was otherwise, and in five minutes, the eyes looking at me, I saw that thecray hair was an accident of tbe most trivial kind. He was quite young. I had shaken his hand. I was smoking his cigar, and I was hearing him talk this man I had learned to love and admire 14,000 miles away. "Beading his books I had striven to get an idea of his personality, and all my pre conceived notions were wrong and beneath the reality. Blessed is the man who finds no disillusion when he is brought face to face with a revered writer. That was a moment to be remembered; the land of the 12-pound salmon was nothing to it I had hooked Mark Twain, and he was treating me as though under certain circumstances I might be an equal." DUMAS THE SON. It la Not Trne Tbat He Works In a Dress Salt nod br Wax Tapers. Philadelphia Press. Alexander Dumas fils is the most inter esting of cotemporary French men of let ters, he is so brilliant a paradox in himself and in his environment He inherited his brains from his father, yet he is his father's opposite. The great, large-hearted giant, bourgeois sometimes, and even Philistine, yet never indelicate or immoral, fnll of humor, but with no wit, whose brain was ever teeming with inventions, with plots, incidents and characters which he hnrled together pell mell with little art or method, who enjoyed life with a sort of grandiose grossness, who was as healthy and hearty and unsophisti cated as a child, forms a queer contrast to Dumas fils, the literary ex quisite, who sits down to write in his dress suit at a table lighted by wix tapers, who has a brillia.it and cutting wit but no humor, who preaches morality in terms that might often make vice blush, whose plots are put together with nice mathematical precision, whose sentences are trimmed and polished with tireless art, and whose in ventive resonrces are extremely limited. We have repeated the old fable about the dress suit and tbe wax tapers rather as a metaphor than as a fact It has indeed been asserted as a fact Bnt at present Dumas has discarded this affectation, if he ever as sumed it He appears in his studio in what looks like a compromise between a bathing robe and a suit of overalls. He is surrounded by elegancies, for he loves the little things that make life great, the lux uries that are more indispensable than the necessities. CITY OF TEE UITK50WH. An Axtoc Metropolis Which Indians Say No White Mnn Has Ever Sees. Philadelphia Inquirer. 1 '.'During frequent visits I have made to Mexico," said a mining engineer of this city last night, "I have come in contact with many ot the Indians resident there and have heard some very singular stories. One, which all the Indians unite in telling, is that far in the interior exists an enormous city never yet visited by white men. It is described as peopled by a race similar to the ancient Aztecs, who are sun' worshipers and offer human sacrifices to their deity. The race is said to be in a high state of civil ization, and the Indians say that the city is full of huge structures which are miracles of quaint, bnt beautiful architecture, and are situated on broad, paved streets far surpass- ing those of the City of Mexico. . "One Indian, I recollect, assured me that he bad seen the city and its inhabitants with his own eyes, but bad been afraid of being captured and had fled. Of course, I did not believe him, but, all the same, it is not a little strange that the accounts of the Mexi can Indians relative to the mysterious and magnificent interior city agree perfectly."

Pittsburg's Mayor Takes Frog's legs, Allegheny's, Boast Beet BEST FARE FOR POLITICS AND LAW twmrraa r on thx dispatch. We can live withont books; what Is knowledge bnt grieving? We can live withont hope; what is hope bnt de ceiving? We can lire without love; what Is love bnt re pining? But where Is the man who can live without dining? Lucille. Deep in the heart of every man there lurks a latent affection for some particular kind of eatable. He may be fond of fois gras; he may revel in roast beef; but whether the entree of the epicure or the tid bit of the Bohemian tickle his palate most effectually, in the dish which is most pleas ing he indulges whenever occasion offers. Some men humor their table whims when tbey fancy themselves unobserved; others display their weaknesses boldly and in the full light of day. But each and every one among ns has his favorite -dish, deny it as he may. Frequently the tastes of urchin hood change or dwindle as sober middle age draws on apace. But there are many cases in which the pet morsel of the infant has remained the chiefest delight of the man. PAITHPUTi TO HIS PIR3T T.OVE. Anelderly friend of the writer had, dur ing his schooldavs. a nenchant for straw berry jam. He now enjoys a position of power and trust in the hill provinces of far off Hindostan; but in spite of gray hairs and a commandership of tbe Star of India, the Sahib Judge still receives by every east ward bound Peninsula and Oriental steamer a fresh hamper of that delectable preserve, to which, as a lower fourth form fag, he had been so sadly addicted. There are people galore who remain trne, like His Honor, the Judge, to their first loves in the way of edi bles. Pittsburg, as a role, Is not productive of gourmands; but her citizens know a good thing when they taste it An attempt has been made to ascertain the feelings of the principal citizens of cisflumine Pittsburg, as well as of those belonging to the trans pontine Pittsburg, which is called Alegheny, on the subject oi the table and its dishes. The result reveals tbe fact that the tastes of our civic fathers incline rather toward the substantial than toward the light and delicate in the matter of eatinz. From this one might establish the new theory tbat men of sound mind prefer sonnd meats. FACTS HARD TO GLEAX. Some little difficulty, arising from reasons heretofore alluded to, was at first found in getting the elect and elected or this city to 'less np their amours of the table. In nu merous cases strategy had to be resorted to before the desired information could be ob tained. But a representative list of names with favorite dishes attached was at length gathered together and will be given to the public Several of the gentlemen interviewed, seemed to think tbe question of their pet selections for dinner a trivial and uninter esting one. Butohl Mr. General Public, were tbey not in error? Do you not desire to stndy the tastes ot distinguished indi viduals, and by forming your own thereon, copy their characters while you imitate their menus? And obi worthy Mrs. General Public, whenever it becomes your felicity to invite one of these magnates to dinner, would you not like to know the precise dainty which he most affects, in order (hat he be tempted to come olten to your charm ing parties? Assuredly the question of what the loremost citizens eat is oi value and in terest to the readers of The Dispatch. THE DELIGHTS OP MAYORS. The table predilections of Mayor Gourley were the first ascertained. The Mayor is hard lv substantial in his preference, which is for Jambons de grenonille, alias frog's legs. But when these tender mouthfuls are ont of season the Mayor flies to rissoles or broiled chicken for consolation. Mayor Wyman, of Allegheny, esteems roast beef highly, while his very efficient Chief of Police, John B. Murphy, has a strong affection for chicken and waffles. Of the Allegheny county officials, Sheriff A. E. McCandless holds a deviled kidney to be first among, dishes, but Coroner McDowell stoutly pro tests his nndeviating adherence to the old time country dish of corned beef with cab bage. The legal fraternity aae varied in their tastes. Colonel W. D. Moore acknowl edges the supremity of chicken gumbo. Judges White and Magee like beefsteak nud Iamb with mint sauce respectively. Major Montooth agrees with the late Duke of Abercorn tbat roast mutton with currant jelly constitute the very finest dish known to epicures. And the writer vouches for it that roast mutton and currant jelly will prove highly satisfactory to anyone who tries them together. William J. Brennen, Esq., likes Iamb with mint sauce, and the table love of City Solicitor George Elphin stone, of Allegheny, is chicken salad. CITY HAM, J5PICURES. Among the City Hal! officials: Chief Bigelow affects light entrees, and Controller Morrow still retains his boyish fondness for apple dumpling, and his boyish hatred of tbe tear-coosing onion. Ublef J. V. Brown, of the Department of Public Safety, resem bles that erstwhile great chief of public un safely Napoleon I. in his being adicted to roast chicken. Major Denniston, tbe City Treasurer, adores a fillet of veal, but he has been known, in honor of bis old army days, to manfully assert an imaginary taste for "salt horse" and hard tack. Mr. Croslis Gray, Clerk of the Depart ment of Public Safety, has very Bostonian likings. His favorite dish is baked beans and brown bread. Delinquent Tax Collector Ford is English by birth, which may ac count for his preferring, to all other edibles, the roast bee', plnm pudding and mince pies of "Merrie England." Mr. Ford prob ably thinks we live in an age when we re ceive not only our dinners, bnt almost every thing else connected with us, served a la russe. A PARALLEL Ht LITERATURE. Our literature, for instance, is no longer substantial. There is more spice in it per haps, but weget entrees instead oi joints. It is much the same with our philosophy. Shakespeare, Fielding and Francis Bacon have given place to Swinburne, Howells and Edward Bellamy; just as the haunch of venison and baron ot beef have been suc ceeded by the lucious confections of the j-Li table, ana tne so-called "reformation" ot book-writing, and we are sometimes driven to sigh for the brave old days when "Othello" was written, and the boar's head and pud ding ot plum decked the banquet board of Queen Bess. But "revenons a nos pates," if not to "nos moutons." After the City Hall folks it will be in order to review the politicians. Mr. C. Ik Magee, who may be styled facile prineeps of the kind, is an epicure to some extent. He has a weakness for wild fowl, and patronizes cauvasback and sqnab largely when they are in season. Mr. William Flinn is a votary of calf's head, with plenty of sauce and garnish. W. A. Magee chooses terra pin in preference to anything else. John N. Neeb likes quail on toast, but also pos sesses the German relish for sausages. Post master McKean alleges that he has no fa vorite dish, and indeed the Postmaster is a very slight eater. Bnt there are oocaslons upon which he bss been tseen to discuss a soft-shell crab withont an appearance of positive dislike. ' THEY ZAXB SUBSTAITTIALS. The DoMemtic politioiaas arogOBerally substantial in their choice of dishes. Post master Larkin gives beefsteak and tomato sance first place. W. J. Brennen's selection has already been given; while John Ennis prefers ham with vegetables, especially cabbage or Brussels' spronts. Inspector or Police McAleese is also an admirer of the vegetable, and goes in mildly for salads of every description. Assistant Superintendent Boger O'Mara eats broiled beefsteak; and Sol Coulson pins his faith upon porterhouse steak embedded in mush rooms. Captain Beed, the Nestor of the Central station, declares that no combina tion of digestibles has for him snch charms as potpie and roost corn. Inspector White house likes vpal cutlet with tomato sauce; and Inspector McKelvy is very fond of roast beef, when tender and not overdone. The list 'might be prolonged indefiniely by the addition of snch names as those of Colonel James S. Andrews, of Allegheny, who likes oyster pate, and of Mr. Bobert Pitcairn, whose dish of dishes is anomeletta soufHee. But space prevents any snch ex tension, and the article mnst conclude with a few good wishes. May Mr. and Mrs. Gen eral Pnblic benefit by the information col lected lor them. May Mr. G. P. become a gourmand and Mrs. G. P. an accomplished dinner giver. And may the favorite viands of each and every one oi Pittsburg's promi nent men never pall upon the palates of their admirers. BsEKAK. CABLE C1ICK-TAKE23. The Work Required of the Tstecrsnhsra Who Get Foreign News. New Tork Tribune. There is something extremely weird about the lives of the men who work in the tele graph cable offices on the Eastern coast They are the most succssful of all tele graphers, for even the slightest errors in transmission wonld cause great trouble. Nearly all of tbe cable dispatches are in ciober, and as the operators cannot possibly understand the nature of the messages tbat pass through their hands, they mnst work in the dark, as it were. The cipher code is to them equivalent to an unknown language; it has no sense of meaning to guide the opera tor aright, and every letter, as it is formed by the instrument, must be transcribed unon paper with a mechanical exactness. The words are disconnected jargon, and the memory cannot be trusted to the extent of even a single word. Ordinarily operators receiving commer cial or press dispatches copy the commercial characters and words some distance behind tbe transmitter, the sense of the dispatch being then a guide to correctness in tran scribing. There are telegraphers who, in receiving press news, copy from 4 to 20 words behind the sender. This is impossibla with those who handle the cable messages. Every letter mnst go on paper tbe instant it is formed by the armature. To do this, re quires a directness of attention, a concentra tion of thought, that is scarcely less than painfdl. As a rule, cables land at out-of-the-way places, and those employed on the work ot interpreting the signals flashed nnder the ocean must spend their lives in what amounts almost to seclusion. E0W IT FEELS TO BE SHOT. Gen. Oates Describes the Sensation of m aiinleBall Through His Arm. Washington Post. General William C. Oates, M. C, of Alabama, was one of the worst shot men who served on either side, and yet be lived to tell the tale. He was severely wounded six times, and left his right arm in front of Bichmond after having taken part in 27 battles. When he got this last and most dangerous clip he was trying to hold Han cock's Ielt- in check. 'General," I said, "how does it feel to bo wounded?" "When a minie ball strikes you at a short distance, as the ball did which took off my arm, you feel a stunning shock, very much as if a man had struck you with a brickbat After that you feel the pain sharp, sting ing, cutting, as if a thousand knives were lacerating every nerve and red-not coals were consuming your vitals. Then fol lows a sickening sensation, caused by loss of blood, and, if you are fortunate, you lose consciousness and forget yonr pain." IMPE0VES THE MEAT. KIMlos Cnttle as Kemmler Was Killed la Likely to be Adopted. 27eir York San. One of the beneficent results of the various experiments which have been made during the last two years, with a view to determine the value of electricity for killing purposes, is the establishment of the fact that not only can cattle be despatched by the electric cur rent withont the least pain, bnt that the meat of the animal is actually improved by the passage of tbe current, and will keep longer than by any other method. The suc cessful operation of an electric slaughtering app iratus is reported from Colorado. The apparatus consists of a pen provided with a metallic floor divided into two sec tions, to secure a good electrical contact, with which the hoofs of the animal are made wet The killing is effected either by applying the current direct to the metallio floor, or making a direct application of the electrode to the head of the animal.
