CURIOUS FRENCH HABITS Travellers
in France are often puzzled by the Gu
rious habits of the country. The peo-
pie are very social and kind-hearted,
and polite in many ways, but they sell
dom invite foreign visitors to 4 meal.
That is not their way Of showing
friendship. When they show special
attentions, and invite to dinner, visitors
are perplexed by the curious order and
kinds of dishes. Meat comes OH the
table without potatoes, and after the
meat is removed green peas and salad
are served as separate course. Knives
and forks are not changed until the
dessert appears. and are sometimes Kept
through the entire meal. The strong
black coffee at the close, without either
sugar or cream, is rarely palatable to
ladies'. TO complete the bewilderment
of guests, the lady OF the house will OF
ten excuse herself after dinner and go
out for promenade. Chambers Jour
nal gives an nusing account Of some
Scotch ladies visiting Paris-very prlm
and precise-who, after passing through
an experience Of this kind, concluded
the French had no taste in table arrange
ments, and no good manners towards
guests. They forgot to make allowance
for differences in national customs.

might be substituted for the propo-

BAKED BEANS THE DEVILS FOOD
A Massachusetts preacher, the Rev.
Edwin Bromley, of the Baptist Church
at Norwood, has flown in the face of
New England traditions and customs by
warning his congregation that baked
beans are the devils food. ard advising
them not to parta e of them. While
the reverend gentleman is crediting the
devil with most excellent taste. it seems
to have had no effect upon his flock,
who are inclined to laugh at their shep-
herd and call him bilious Our readers
will remember that some time since We
tool0 occasion TO warn the clergy against
the free use of beans on Sunday morn
ings, but this is the first time clergy
man has publicly warned his people
against their use. 1t is all the more
surprising since this has happened in
the very State where baked beans were
invented, and where the savory escu-
lent has given tone to theology even
from the days of the fathers. If any
thing that we have hitherto had to say
upon this subject has influenced the
Rev. Bromley to make this onslaught,
we shall grieve.-Chicago Tribune.

A DocroR TERRIFIED. "A letter from
Atlanta, Ga, to the Augusta Constitu-
tionalist tells this amusing story: Al
masquerade ball recently given, a
young Benedick personated the devil,
Those who saw him in costume say he
was horrible to behold. During the
evening, at time when the gay mask
ers were having their best joy. the devil
was requested to 60 to thesdoor. There
he found summons from home to run
for doctor. In the excitement he for
got impersonation and rushed to th !
doctors office. The son of Galen was
snoring away, dreaming, of ponderous
pills and prodigious powders, when the
bell sounded. The ringing was of such
terrific vehemence that it caused the
doctor to bodnce out of bed and rush in
aeglige costume to the door. He took
one sudden. basty glance at the disturb-
er of his slumbers and then ran. Being
an important case, the young man
rushed through the doorway and COM
menced a vigorous search for the fugi-
tive physician. He found him under
the bed. with pistol in each hand. 1t
took long time to convince the doctor
that he wasn't really the clovenfooted
parsonage he represented

New MODE OF WASHING. Ill eff
fects of soda on linen has given rise to
a new method Of washing, which has
been extensively adopted in Germany,
and introduced into Belgium. The op-
Grafton consists in dissolvipg two
pounds of soap in about three gallons
of water as hot as the hand can bear,
and adding to this, one TABLESPOONFUL
of turpentine and three of liquid am
monia this must .hen be well stirred.
and the linen stepped in it for two or
three hours, taking care to cover up the
vessel containing them as nearly her.
metically as possible. The clothes are
afterward washed out al rinsed in the
the usual way. The soap and water
may be reheated and used a second
time, but i'll that case half tablespoon
full of ammonia must be added. The
process is said to cause q great econ-
omy of time, labor and fuel. The linen
scarcely suffers at all, as there is little
necessity for rubbing, and its cleanliness
and color are perfect. The ammonia
and turpentine, although their detersive
action is great, have no injurious effect
on the linen; and while the former
evaporates Immediately, the smell Of
the latter is said to disappear during the
drying of the clothes.

y a much esteemed clergyman who
resides not far from Utica, and who is
quite noted for his dry humor, was out
on recent stormy evening, and to pro-
tect himself against the cold had mufiled
up his face and ears. While passing
along, a man who mistook him for q
physician of the place accosted him,
saying that his system was out of order
that he was ailing generally, and he
desired to how what would be good for
him. The clergyman replied, The best
thing 1 know of you can do is to get a
prayer-book and so to church twice
every Sunday The nan Immediately
discovered that he was not the doctor
and went on in search of him.

W1NsLow's WAY. - The feeling at
Boston against the several men whe
had caught Winslow at his forgeries du-
ring the last year but let him off on his
making them whole, continues to be
strong, but the explanation is probably
in all cases to be found in the appa-
rently sincere repentance of the clerical
swindler, his protestations thatit was his
only offense, and his personal entreat-
les. Thus Asa P. Potter, president of
the Maverick National Bank, having
discovered early last week, that Wins
low had forged D. Z. Poland's name on
1000 note, went for him, found him
in the Boston News Office. Wednesday
afternoon--only few hours before he
left the city for good and said to him !:
For reasons which l will not now dis
euss, want this note paid I will
pay that note, said Mr. Winslow, be
fore halfepast ten o'clock tomorrow.
That will not &c, replied Mr.. Potter,
L want the money now Mr.. Winslow
hesitated for & moment and then said ::
I will pay ii within ten minutes. AS
Mr. Potter left the News Office il was
five minutes to o'clock, and soon after
Mr.. Winslow brought the money IN
h. 1D1 20 4
received the note, he said: "You need
not count it, for it came from the Ex-
change Bank Mr.. Wlnslow then
burst into tears, and said he had been
sorely pressed, but he thanked God he
was now out of his difficulties. Mr..
Potter then said to him: 'Winslow, how
much more of this kind of paper have
you pu. upon the market 2 Winslow
assured Mr.. Potter that was the only
piece. 4 don't, know why l did such a
thing, but supposed it would not be
known, for l have made arrangements
with savings bank for loan, and at
last am out of all my difficulties He
then urged Mr.. Potter to preserve 81
lence. assuring him again and again
that it was the only note of the kind,
and that YVES his first departure from
the straight path. He urged. Mr.. Potter
to write Mr.. Poland note requesting
secrecy. He asked Mr.. Potter if he
thought his intended visit to New York
was with "a view of getting clear. to
which Potter replied that he had moi
thought of it in that light, but he was
determined that he should not go to N
York that day, if the note was not ta>
ken up. The confession of forgery was
clear, but the evidence of the guilty
transaction was in the possession Of
Winslow, and believing it to be Mr.
Winslow's first and only transaction
Mr.. Potter kept silence. Chicago Times

WENT UP.-A well-to do farmer, not
long ago, went 10 Manitowoc and pur-
chased new stove and quantity of
gun powder, which, for fear of losing,
he packed away in the stove. But as he
journeyed hone over the rough roads,
the paper containing the powder wore
out, and the powder was scattered
through the stove. Arriving home, the
stove was duly put up anl fire built
The stove was fine one 1t just suited
his wife. and it drawed finely, but as it
became hot the powder ignited, and the
stove took its flight through the win
dow, taking along with it piece of the
mans nose. good-sized piece of the
boys shin. and the sash, glass, lace cur
aims and all. Upon receiving his
senses, he exclaimed, Wife, where is
that powder 2 The prob EN- was solved

II An old musket was recently
dredged up by wrecking steamer on
Long Island Sound, between Fishers
Island and Stonington, Conn. Its
mountings are those of the So called
Queens Arm of the early part of the
century. The barrel is completely eros
ded, but the black walnut stock is al
most as sound as ever. On the brass
but-plate are the figures 65, probably
indicating the number of the regiment
in which the soldier bearing it served
1t is supposed that the gun was los:
overheard at the battle of Stonington,

I The great popularity of seal-skir
jackets will receive severe set back
from an incident which recently oc-
Cured in Liverpool. A lady wearing
one of those fashionable garments was
waiting at railway station when a po-
lar bear who happened 10 be passing in
barrel. seized her around the body,
and shs was severely squeezed" be-
fore the animal could be. induced to re
release her. Cn the action for damages
against the railway company, counsel
for the bear excused his conduct on the
ground that he he probably nistook the
lady for seal; but the jury gave the
plaintiff $500. Hereafter we hope 10
lady will trust herself near barrel un-
less she knows what is in it.
