Snoberly'i French. '
Young Snobcrly is very anxious to
create the impression that he is "a
Son" at French. A few evenings ago,
it the club-room, he took a French
comic paper, and for half an hour he
pretended to be absorbed in its con
tents. Every once in a while he would
fmile feebly, as if he had been carried
sway by the jokes, and say audibly.
"Bon, tres bon."
There were several gentlemen at the
adjoining table who had been notic
ing Snoberly's antics. At last one of
them said,
"See that Snobcrly over there pre
tending to read that French paper? I
am certain that he does not understand
French. He is just doing that to im
press the people with his knowledge
as a linguist."
"I suppose he must understand
"I'll bet a bottle of wine that he
doesn't, and I'll prove it."
i ll take the bet."
The gentleman who had made the
bet walked quietly over to Snobcrly
and said,
"Monsieur, qu'clle hcure est il?"
(What o'clock is it, sir?")
Young Snoberly smiled ft Parisian
sin ilc. and gracefully handed over the

Judged by Her Book.
The girls in a large department store,
says Frank Leslie s, are, as a rule,
carefully watched not only in the store,
but out of it. 1 he buyer ol eacn de
partment knows pretty well the habits
of his sales ladies; knows how much it
costs them to live and how they spend
their evening. It is easy for him to
get the information not merely through
the store detective, but in many other
ways.
The buyer is, as a rule, a tolerant
person, who cares only for two things
namely, that the girls "deliver the
goods" i. e., that they make big
"books" and that they appear respect
able. If they stay out so late at night
that they do not reach the store
promptly in the morning they may be
discharged, transferred from one de
partment to another or merely not
rise in the way of salary, depending on
the degree of their misdemeanor. If
the girl's book is unsatisfactory, she
is simply discharged or transferred, and
no reason is given, but if she is wise
she knows the reason why.
If, on the other hand, the girl is a
good seller the buyer will excuse a
great deal in the way of irregularity
of habits. A long as a girl sticks
closely to business she is allowed a
great deal of freedom, but when her
"book" begins to suffer it is time for
her to "look out."
His Forte.
The seven-year-old pride of the fam
ily had concluded his recitation of The
Boy Stood on the Burning Deck, and
the fond mother, turning with dignified
complacency to the unnerved visitor,
remarked,
"And I have been assured by really
eminent judges, Mr. Marterdum, that
he closely approaches Sir Henry Irv
ing in dramatic style, without however,
that great actor's offensive manner
isms." "I am not surprised to hear it!" as
sented the victimized one, with a strain
ed smile.
"Mabel, also," continued the matron,
blandly indicating a six-year-old mite
of flaxen-haired precocity, "plays ex
quisitely. Her rendering of In My Cot
tage Near a Wood, with variations, is
not dissimilar in touch and -feeling to
Padcrwiski at his best as you shall
presently determine; while Egbert, yon
der (get your slate and pencil ready,
darling), though barely turned four,
draws engines and railway lines in a
manner suggestive of academy honors
at no very distant future. They all
have their fortes, you see! In fact,
most people have, when you come to
think of it. What is your forte, Mr
Marterdum?"
"Mine, madam?" gasped the wretched
listener. "Mine? Oh. I I run!" .
And he suited the action to the word
Shelley Liked Bread.
The poet Shelley was very simple in
his tastes and found his chief pleasure
in long, solitary rambles. Bread be
came his chief sustenance when his
regimen attained to that austerity
which afterward distinguished it. He
could have lived on bread alone with
out repining.
"Do you know," he said one day to
a friend, with much surprise, "that Mr.
G. does not like bread? Did you ever
know a person who disliked bread?'
His friend explained to him that Mr. G.
probably had no objection to bread in
moderate quantity at a proper time
and with the usual adjuncts and was
only unwilling to devour several pound?
of dry bread at a meal.
Shelley had no such objection; his
pockets were generally well stored with
bread. Sometimes he ate with hi:
bread the common raisins which he
bought at small grocers' shops.
Toilet ol the Caf.
Cats, large and small, make the most
careful toilet of any class of animals
excepting some of the opossums. The
lions and tigers wash themselves in ex
actly the same maner as the cat, wet
ting the dark, rubbcrlike ball of the
forefoot and inner toe and passing it
over the face and behind the cars. The
foot is thus at the same time a face
sponge and brush, and the rough ton
gue combs the rest of the body.
Prayer of the Convert.
A South Sea Islander, at the close
of a religious meeting, offered the fol
lowing prayer: "O God, we are about
to go to our respective homes. Let
not the words we have beard be like
the fine clothes we wear, soon to be
taken off and folded up In a box till
another Sabbath comes round. Rath
er, let Thy truth be like the tattoo on
our bodies, Ineffaceable till death."

Powerful Music.
When the, big organ commenced to
play In the Sydney Town Hall the
vibration caused by its 42 foot open
diapason pipes broke several windows
and brought down a few hundred'
weight of plaster from the roof. The

York choir had a rehearsal. They
sang their fortissimo passages wltb
such vigor that the celling collapsed
upon their heads.
School Music and Mad Cats.
A ladles' school of music In a sub
urb of Vienna has owned three cats
during the course of the past year,
and eacn has gone raving mad, ac
cording to the testimony of a veterin
ary surgeon. The diurnal discord with
in the establishment Is reported to
be ear-torturing In the extreme. The
school now owns a deaf cat. which

THE WORLD'S WASTE
TON? CN TONS OF FOOD
AOK, STKINO of bnrges piled
4 A V hlR!l wltl1 n" kimlH ot f00li
O J o wore threading their way
X J down New York Harbor to
TtQTV deposit their cargoes in the
open sen. Tons of the food
.vere perfectly good, but nil of it was
oing to bo thrown to the fishes.
As the bnrges passed by nn Incoming
lncr a passenger, leaning over the taf-
'rail, exclaimed:
"Well, I've traveled nil over tho world
ind seen terrible wante of ?ood In the
Topics, but I should have thought n
)ig city like New York would hnve
V'.itid something better to do with all
Jils stuff than throw it away."
Economists agree that nil over the
jvcrld people waste as much food us
:hcy consume. Trnctlvitl men who
lnve studied the subject say that the
jiliabltnnts of American towns and
!itles are inoro wasteful than similar
;oimnuiiitles In Europe, and tbnt lu
Sew York the greatest waste occurs.
"New York Is far and away tho most
wasteful of all our cities," said nu ofli
:lnl who has bad bad great experience
n the disposal of refuse In several
American communities. "Flat life
ends almost inevitably to waste. In
Philadelphia there are comparatively
few tints, and probably not one-hun-
Iredth part ns much food Is wasted
:here ns In New York. In Philadelphia
people are economical, and the women
lo their housekeeping very cnrefully.
riie same remnrk holds good of Boston,
in rather lesser degree. Chicago and
St Louis are wnsteful cities, but not
Jesrly so wasteful as New York. IMtts
nurg and Cleveland are also very
wasteful. I think I would rank them
lext to New York. Brooklyn and Jer
jey City are decidedly less wasteful
than Manhattan.
"As compared with her American sis
ter, the English housekeeper is a model
f economy. As a rule the London
iousewlfe only provides for her family
lust us much food as they can cat.
Her country cousin Is even more care
ful. The Idea of throwing away half a
pound of steak or n couple of lamb
jhops, as the Gotham housewife does
without a qualm, would frighten her.
But if you want to see real economy in
jousekeeping you must go to Scotland.
In Edinburgh and Glasgow the women
'jnvc reduced the elimination of waste
10 a fine art."
Dr. J. M. Woodbury, New York's
wonunlssioner of Street Cleaning,
agrees with this official as far us his
vn town is concerned.
"It Is only natural." said the Com
missioner, tho other day, "that the
richest cities In America should bo the
nost wasteful. New York, I should
iny, wastes more food than any other
sity. It must waste pretty nearly as
aiucb as It consumes. I nm simply as
rounded at the large quantities of food
lven to my department by fellow New
Yorkers to throw uwny."
"Cnn you give nu Idea of tho total
juantity? Are there any statistics
available?" the ComniiHsioner was
tsked.
"No, it is a matter that defies state
lies," was tho reply. "But the exper-
.enco of our deportment Is tbnt almost
very store, market, house and flat hi
Sew York dally throws away a large
luontlty of food. The totol is enor
mous. If you go down to the depart
nent dumps, where tho refuse collected
ill over tho city Is deposited in scows
for ultimate disposal, you will bo sur
prised to see how Inrge a proportion of
the refuse eouslsts of foodstuffs. You
will then be able to realize what a
wnsteful city New York is."
Tons of Waatnl Food.
Two of these dumps were visited. In
ooth places there were several big
jcows laden with nothing but food,
hundreds of tons of food. Potatoes,
5read, apples, tomatoes, bananas, meut,
turnips, onions, were piled up lu great
heaps on the scows with a thousund
jther eatables.
"Is it always llko this?" one of the
)filclals of the department was asked.
"Yes, always so, more or less," he
juswered. "Often there Is a great deul
oiore food than this to throw away.
Look at this enrt."
As he spoke' a cart came along the
ivharf and tipped Into the nearest scow
l load composed entirely of vegetables
ind fruits.
"Is nothing ever done with thls
food?" the visitor asked.
"Nothing; it is all thrown away,"
was theanswer. "And, ns you see, It
Is not nenrly all bud when it comes
'nto our hands. Hulf of it, if uot
more, is good to eat. Unless you have
ictunlly collected the refuse you have
ao Idea of tho wastefulness of tho av
rage family In a New York tint.
"The wife buys a steak and gets din
ner rendy, and then husband comes
Some from business and says: Tut
rour hnt on, little girl, I've got tickets
for the thentre, and we'll hove some
ilnr.er first at a restaurant.' So the

Inge pull. Even when they do dine at
imuo the dinner is almost alwnys
ar.tch. larger than they con ei-t, and a
diird or a bulf of it ultimately comes
'.o us.
"And they hardly ever give It away
'.o the poor. In the first placo It Is
lltlicult for a beggar to tackle a family
Iving in a flat. In the second pluce.
Sew Yorkers seldom encourage beg
ii rs lu any shape or form. I knew a
nan, however, who was shocked at the
family waste, and said that all the un
mten food must be put aside and given
to the poor. He told two or three 'ho
to call for It. In a week the word
lad gone around that he was an 'easy
mark,' aud there was a procession of
beggars up the stairs to bis flat all day
'ong.
"The Janitor complained, and his own
lervant told him that she would leave

)ut answer the door. So bo bad to

tie sends all Ida waste food down the
lumbwatter like other people.
Parsoee of Fruit Thrown Away.
"The waste of fruit In New Tork is
Incredible. Every banana cteauier
brings hundreds o( thousands of
THROWN TO THE FISHES
bunches of fully ripe bananas, beauti
ful, yellow fruit. Just ready to eat.
The trnde will not handle fruit In this
condition; it wants green fruit. All
these ripe buncb.es are thrown away.
"Only a short time ago over a million
bananas brought in by the British
steamship Chickahomlny wero wasted
for this reason. Last year I remember
an Italian steamer coming in with a
cargo of lemons. The market was
glutted nt tho time, and there was no
price for them. It was chenper to buy
lemons here than to Import them. Tba
whole of the enrgo was given to our de
partment to throw away.
"This sort of thing seems an awful
waste, but I can assure you It Is not at
all uncommon. On a smaller scole It is
always happening at our markets. A
fruit dealer has a few boxes of orange?
or tomatoes. The market is Just clos
ing, lie can't get his price, and rather
than sell them for live cents less be
hnnds them over to ns to throw away.
That happens every day. It makes a
man's heart bleed to see such Immense
(junntitles of good food thrown away,
while many people, even in prosperous
New York, haven't enough to cat."
7 lie lVaatrful Tropica.
But in spite of thi; indictment the
student of economics must go to the
tropics to see the greatest wnste of
food. Most tropical countries produce
enough to feed a hundred times their
population. Take Jomoleo, for in
stance. She exports large quantities
of bananas, oranges and pineapples to
the United States, but billions of thoso
fruits arc left to rot on tho ground.
A walk through mSes of plantations
shows thousands of trees weighed
down by luscious fruits which have
not been picked, because the mart el
price at the moment did not pay for the
cost of export. Those fruits are all left
to rot.
The world's mango crop is tho great
est waste of nil. The mango 1b one of
the finest fruits in the world, and prob
ably the most nourishing. It grows in
bewildering profusion in most parts of
the tropics. The negroes ent nothing
else in the mango season. They sit un
der a mango tree and gorge themselves
all duy long, until the wonder Is that
they do not burst. An overage tree
bears over 5000 mangoes, each ns big
as a lnrge orange, and there are hun
dreds of thousands of mango trees in
Jamaica alone. The natives, with all
their appetite, cannot eat one per cent,
of the crop, which mo? be conserva
tively estimated at 10,000,000,000 mau
goes a year.
Uirfortunately tbo fruit cannot be
exported. It will not stnntl a sea voy
age unless it Is treated with more core
than It Is profitable to give. Thus It is
that many tropical countries ore cov
ered nt certain seasons of the yeur by
rotting mnngoes.
An American traveling In the West
Indies once rode along a mountain path
which was llternlly carpeted for miles
by fallen mangoes. In some places
they were a foot deep, and the horse's
hoofs squashed them at every step.
Food Thrown to the Flatten.
There is a great waste at sea, where
It Is generally supposed that food Is re
garded at its proper value. . On the big
pussenger liners tho stewnrds throw
overboard every day almost as much
food as the cabin passengers ent
sometimes more, If the passenger list
Is not very full. This food Is seldom.
It ever, given to the crew or tho steer
age possengers.
A New Yorker once traveled on a
West Indian steamship belonging to n
service which Is called by sailors the
"Hungry Goose Line," because of tho
scanty, supply of food In the forecastle.
Every day holf-eaton joints of meat,
puddings, stale bread and piles of
cooked vegetables were thrown over
board. While the New Yorker stood
watching this feeding of the fishes one
morning a sailor came up nnd sold:
"Look tt that 'ere waste, sir; an' yet
they starves us poor chops forrord."
On another voyngo the same man
saw nearly two million bounnns aud
oranges thrown overboard because
they were ripening too fast. All doy
long the sotlors hove the golden
bunches of fruit to the waves. A yel
low streak of wasted food stretched os
for as the eye could reach in the wake
of the vessel. .
WerM's Wnate of Uvr Stork.
There is enormous waste of food In
the great cattle and sheep renrlng coun
tries, especially lu New Zealand, Aus
tralia, Argentina, Colombia and Vene
zuela. Hundreds of thousands of
sheep and cattle are slain merely for
their hides, horns and hoofs, the ex
portation of the meat being unprofit
able. A man who had worked ou a
sheep run lu New South Wales de
clared tbnt he once saw the corcasses
of over 0000 sheep on one farm. They
had been slain for tbelr wool alone, and
umo of their meat was used.
Tho problem of proper food distribu
tion seems Insuperably dllllcult even
In this progressive day and generation.
