Costly Cooks.

The French cooks, meaning the chefs In this
city. are said to occupy y very enviable posi-
ton, and to have q most exalted opinion OF
themselves. They represent art, In their own
Judgment, as much as painters, sculptors.
poets or composers do. and have pride In
their vocation which they are fond OF discuss
Ing, explaining and clarifying. A number OF
the so-called French cooks are Swiss and
Italians, and the members OF the profession"
have increased Of late, particularly within a
year. The high salaries attainable here tempt
chefs even from Paris, which they regard as
the centre Of the universe and which nothing
but prospective riches would Induce them to
surrender. They do not earn there one quar-
ter what they earn here. In Paris 5000 or 6000
francs year Is considered very hand
some recompanse; but In New York
they are paid munificently, far more
50 than the majority Of statesmen. account
ants, journalists. physicians, literateurs or
clergymen. Their salaries range from $4,000
to $4,000 and $1,000. Many private houses, as
well as leading clubs and hotels, have chefs
OF the Gordon bleu order. The Lotos Club
pays It's chef, says n correspondent, $4,000; the
New York Club, $4,000; the Union League,
S45OO; the Manhattan, $4700; the Union,
$4,000: the Knickerbocker. $500. Among the
hotels, the Brevoort pays $4,000; the Bucking
ham, $4,000; the Clarendon. $4,000; the Metro
politan, $4,000; the Aston, $4,000; the st. Mich
olas, $4,000; the Fifth Avenue, $4,000; the
Bristol, $4,000; Delmonico, Broadway and
Twenty-sixth Street, $4,000. These figures
must be exaggerated, but there Is no doubt
that the pay OF French cooks Is dispropor-
tiOnately large.

A Cat and Dok Restaurant.

The black cat Ia much more priced for food
than any other OF the feline race. We went
up stairs leading to the saloon, where several
small dining tables were placed. At one Of
these tables we saw a man with little basin
full or a steaming stew. Went to him and
said, "maau?" (eat) and he answered ''Yau"
(yes). 1t had very dark appearance WAR

STIR THE SOIL.
Jethro Iul1, one OF the earliest advocates OF
i'm proved agriculture In England held that
the great secret Of soil Improvement con.
sisted In It's frequent and thorough puiveriza-
tion. Practical farmers Of the present day
have maintained that frequent blowing is
equal to D manuring. There Ia truth In the
theory. The use OF the plow In cultivation
Of the crop is not merely to destroy the
weeds The looseninK OF the soil helps make
the crop grow. Air Is as necessary to vege-
tation rs it is to animals, and plants derive
their atmospheric food more through the
puted point whether ammonia enters into
plant growth at all through the leaves.

"'Tis Morning, and the Days are
Long"


l had q dream OF other days;
In golden luxury shone the wheat,
In tangled greenness shook the maize;
The squirrels ran with nimble feet,
And in and out among the trees
The hang bird darted like flame,
The catbird piped her melodies,
Purloining every warbler's fame;
And then heard the trlumphal song,
"'Tis morning and the days are long"
They scattered roses, strewed the palms,
And shouted down the pleasant wales;
heard n thousand happy psalms,
"And, laughing, wove thousand tales
Ofmimic revelry and joy;
They mocking we'll the worldly great
Each tanfnced girl and barefoot,
Dear shapers Of my early fate
And then again the molian song,
"Tis morning, and the days are long"
Far winding past the storled town,
The river ran through bosky groves;
Its floods we sailed our vessels down
Full.freighted with myriad loves;
Our souls went floating to the gales,
with scarlet leaves and shreds of bark;
We named them cutters, schooners, sails,
And watched them fade in shadowy dark
Then down the water flowed the song,
"'Tis morning, and the days are long"
Oh, morning, when the days are long,
And youth and innocence are wed,
And every grove is full of song,
And every pathway void of dread
Who rightly sings its rightful praise,
Or rightly dreams 1t DER again,
When cola and narrow are the days,
And shrunken all the hopes of men,
He shall reawken with his song,
"'Tis morning, and the days are long"
There palpltatlons, wild and sweet,
The thrills of many an old delight,
And dimpled hands that light meet,
And hearts that tremble to unite,
Arise upon the early morn,
Pass down the lovely wales and stand,
A picture of a memory born,
The mirage of a lotus land
A land where once we tolled the song,
"'Tis morning, and the days are long"
