A Number of Queer Dishes Were Served—Eating With Ctiop Sticks —Tea Free as Water. ONE ol the New York Sua re porters visited Chinatown with a party df friends and tried a Chinese dinner. One of the party, who used to frequent the famous Chinese restaurant in San Francisco and was familiar with the dishes and the routine of a Chinese dinner, summoned a waiter, a small individual, whose American clothes sat upoa him very badly. The waiter brought a small di3*n of sweet pickle and a butter dish con taining a small quantity of a brown sauce resembling Worcestershire. This is the Chinese condiment nnd is ex ceedingly salt. It i 9 called see ou. He also brought each a bowl of steamed rice, surprisingly white and dry, and so cooked that each grain was whole and separate. The tea came next in a small ware pot, with bowls the size of egg cups to drink it from. All this was pre liminary. "Give us some chow chopsuy, John," said the guide. "Forty cents, see?" The Chinaman grunted and disap peared in the kitchen. "You must always indicate the amount you want of each dish by stating the price," said the guide. "I ordered forty cents' worth of chow chop suy, as that will be enough for us both. While they are preparing it, for it takes a little time, we will eat some rice with chop sticks. Rice is our bread." Eating with chop sticks is not so dif ficult a matter as most people suppose. There is a popular idea that a Chinaman takes a stick in each hand and propels the food into hi 9 mouth in some mys terious process peculiar to himself. When the knack is once acquired, however, chop sticks prove an efficient table utensil. The sticks are a foot long, one half squared, the other rounded and sharpened. They can be so gripped by their squared ends between the thumb and first finger of the right hand, and steadied and di rected by the fingers, as to become an excellent pair of tongs. That is what, in fact, they are in the hand of the diner. Chop sticks are simply a single advance over primitive man's first table tool, the thumb and first finger. The chow chop suy was brought steam ing hot in a large bowl. It appeared to be a stew without gravy. The principal ingredients were chicken livers, Ameri can mnshrooms, dried Chinese mush rooms, celery, gizzards, and sprouted rice. The whole \Vas flavored with spices and had evidently been treated with oil, No plates were served, and the stew was eaten Chinese fashion, from the bowl. "A very excellent dish," said the guide, "but don't eat too heurtily, for we have several other courses coming. This sprouted rice that you can sec in the bowl is deemed very fine by Chinese epicures. They sprinkle riee on a piece of wet cloth until, in the course of a few days, the grains swell and sprout. Then they cook it. Our next dish will be per fumed pork, a great dainty. Meantime, here comes our 'chick' with the sum shu." Sam shu proved to bo a fiery brandy made from grain. It was a thin syrup of a milky appearance. The waiter brought it in a ware pot like a small, slender tea pot. Cups holding little more than a thimbleful were provided. The approved method of taking the brandy is to mix it with the tea, a cup of the liquor iu each tiny bowl of tea. It doesn't do to drink too heartily of the mixture. Indeed, the temptation to do so is small. Sain shu is a crude aud raw distillation. Perfumed pork was the nearest ap proach to civilized diet which was served. It was sliced into thin pieces and brought in a bowl. Tho flesh was lean and teu dcr and had an exceedingly delicate flavor produced by unfamiliar spices. Meantime the crowd in the restaurant was continually changing. As la9t as the diners finished they arose, wiped their faces on their hands (there were no nap kins), shuffled to the counter, paid their bills, and left the room. They seldom spoke, end most of the time the room was as silent as a Quaker meeting. The places of those who left were filled by new-comers. The restaurant does a big business. "Waiter," said the guide, "chow gai men, seventy cents. See?" The little waiter uttered his customary grunt and vanished. "Chow gai men," continued the guide, "is one of the dainties. They make it hero to perfection. It consists of a mass of spiced macaroni fried crisp in melted fat, like dougbuut?, and cov ered with a dressing of chicken livers, mushrooms aud stewed celery. lam sure you will like it. The amount I ordered is enough for half a dozen, but they will not make less, for it is a troublesome dish to handle. T. is will complete our dinner, for there is no des sert or coifee. Our dinner has bceu an exceptional one for this restaurant, not withstanding that it is theswcllest in tho city. There are comparatively few rich Chinamen in New York, aud they all have their own kitchens, presided over by high-priced cooks. The diners are many ol them well off, but Chinaman are alway thrifty, and it is possible to live very nicely here at a very small outlay. Our dinner will cost us $1.30 apiece. Few Chinamen will send more than fifty# or sixty cents for a meal. For that amount of money a very excellent dinner can be bad, for rice is only five cents a bowl and tea is nothing. One or two nice dishes can be bought for half a dollar. So there you are." "But many of these Chinamen," said the reporter, "have eaten nothing but rice." "Yes, hundieds of Chinamen in this city eat nothing else than rice the year rouud. You see how cheap John can lire if he wants to. lie come 9 here nnrl orders a live-cent bowl of rice. He gets all the tei he wants for nothing. It costs him fifteen cents a day to live. Hundreds more eat rice for all their meals but dinner. Then they buy an extra dish of so. sort for twenty-five cents more. Expenses forty cents a day. Tea is not considered at all. It is as free as water. In every Chinese shop, whole sale or retail, a teapot stands on the counter, kept warm by a silk tea-cosey, and in every home tea is somewhere on tap. It is not even the custom to offer tea to visitors. If the visitors want it, fiey ask for it as unconcernedly as though asking for a glass of water. So it is in the restaurants. Tea is furnished free as a matter of course. Tne tea in the restaurants, as well as the tea in shops and private houses, is always of a fine quality. You never get the thick, bitter concoction which Americans call tea. It is always a light, fragrant beverage of a corn yellow color, and weak enough to be aromatic and delicious. It is a deli cately flavored beverage and not a power ful drug that the Chinaman drinks." The little waiter served small plates and an aromatic sauce with the chow gai men, which looked in its deep dish not unlike a smoking plum pudding. The diners plunged tneir chop sticks through the garnishing of mushroo;n9 and liver 3, and brought masses of crisp and fragrant macaroni to the surfuc?. This, mixed [ with a few mushrooms aud fi ivored with the sauce, was delicious.—New York Sun. WISE WORDS. Ornamental characters are full of weak spots. A man with a bad liver very often has a good heart. If the tongue could kill not many would live to old age. The man who picks his own cro99 never gets the right one. Every man in a brass baud thinks hi 3 horn makes the best music. There is no greater misfortune in life than to have a bad mother. The easist thing for a loafer to do is to find fault with busy people. The trouble with people who can talk 19 that they are apt to say too much. The diamond has the most sparkle, but window glass does the most good. When people are hired to be good they quit work a9 soon as the pay stops. The shadow of a misfortune will gen erally frighten us more than the disaster itself. The world i 3 full of lion fighters, but it is hard to find people who won't run from a hornet. Every new acquaintance we make has the power to tell us something we didn't know about ourselves. Do good as often a9 you have oppor tunity, and it will not be your fault if you are not kept busy. One of the times when a man begins to cry and sigh that all men are not honest is when he gets the wrong hat. When all people are willing to become as good as they think their neighbors ought to be, the millennium will come. A little weed has no more right to live than a big one. To spare any kind of a sin may mean to lose your life. Han's Horn. llow ta Reach Old A?e. One of the figures in the British House of Commons is Isaac Holden, who is three years older thun Mr. Gladstone, lie is hale and strong and in full posses sion of his mental faculties. The Brad ford Observer has lately published an interview in which Mr. Holden explains the way to live long. The normal dura tion of life, it would seem, is 120 years, being five times the period that it takes for the bone 3to harden. If people con sume much lime their arteries become ossified and the capillary vessels blocked up. If their brains are cut into when they are reaching middle life it is like cutting into a sandbag. To arrive at a normal old age a man must take a good deal of walkiug exercise and see that the air is frequently changed In the rooms in which he lives. Starch diet produces acidity in the blood and has to be con verted into sugar of fruit before it is assimilable. A meat diet is also unde sirable. The meals must be regularly taken, and eating and drinking must not go to gether. Mr. Holden'a daily bill of fare is as follows: For breakfast and supper he takes one baked apple, one banana, one orange, twenty grapes and,a biscuit made from banana flour with butter. His midday meal consists of three ounces of beef or mutton, reduced.to powder in a mortar, and then passed through a chlander, with a half cupful of soup oc casionally poured over it. Theory is all very well, but Mr. Holden has proved his case by his health and vigor at a period whea most men are, to say the least, verging on old age. Mexican i'earl Fhh rle?. The Mexican Government has leased to the Compania Perlifera rae la Baja California for sixteen years the pearl fi9u erie3 comprised between the mouth of the Colorado River and Cape San Lucas, on the east coast of Lower California, aid between the port of Mazntian and Barra de Suchtate, on the Pacific Coast of the mainland, with the exception of the Ensenada de Chamela fisheries. The consideration i 9 the payment by the com- j pany of $lO per ton of pearl oysters ob- \ tamed in the first three years, and sl2 ] i per ton during the remaining thirteen years of the lease. The fisheries are to be divided into two portions, to bo worked alternately every two years, thus preventing the ex haustion of the, beds. The company further bind 9 itself to avoid the use of destructive methods of fishing, to pro tect and extend the oyster beds, and to introduce improved breeds, such as the Tahiti pearl oyster or some other su perior variety.—San Francisco Chroni cle. Pu and Beans. Although peas were known and used as food many centuries before the birth of Christ, it is singular that green peas came into use in Western Europe only 200 years ago. Mine, de Maintenon wrote in 1696: "All the talk now is about the new dish—green peas. The impatience for them, the pleasure of eating them, the triumph of finding them so enjoyable, and the joy of antici pating the repetition of the treat are animating points of conversation at out court. And many ladies after going home from a royal feast must have a dish ready to eat at home before lying down." Beans were In use 2000 years befors Christ, but in the Egyptian temples they were under ban. Priesta must not eat thein or look at the growing plants. They were served at funeral feasts only on the dishes placed before the seats of the lately deceased. Thus a prejudice was crtated which prevented much use of one of the cheapest and best items of food even iu Europe until a late day. We have gained nearly as much by the shaking off of such old fetters as by new discoveries.—New York Tribune. A Rider's Experiments. Experiments with cyclers and carrier pigeons for transmitting messages are be ing made by the Gymnastic Society of Rome, in the interest of the Italian srmy. The rider carried a small cage attached to hit machine, in which arc several well-trained pigeons. When important observations have been taken and jetted down, they are placed in envelopes and affixed to the birds, which are liberated. In every instance thus far the birds have flown promptly and in a straight line back to headquarters.—New York Wit ness.

But the Royal is correspon dingly purer and higher in leavening strength, and of greater money value to the consumer. The difference in cost of Royal over the best of the others does not equal the difference in leav ening strength, nor make good the inferior work of the cheaper powders, nor remove the impuri ties which such powders leave in the food. Where the best food is required, the Royal Baking Powder only can be used.
