A Romantic Life.

Jean Baptiste Charles Alphonse Cayron
du Gayle, a son of the Count Cayron du
Gayle, for many year the governor Of the
Hotel des InvalIdes, Paris, recently, died
at bis residence, No. 2,067 Fifth avenue,
New York. He was the youngest and last
survivor of nine sons, all of whom were
KILLED or wounded in the service of France.
His life was romance. Its prominent in
cidents were narrated recently by his
widow. He was born at Paris, Oct. Is.
1898. AT five years of age he was placed
in the military school for officers sons at
La Fleche, near Lamont. Many men now
prominent in France were his fellow stu
dents. AT the age of eighteen he joined a
hussar regiment and remained in it Tor t " o
years. In 1S4S, after leaving a ball, he
went with number of companions to a
revolutionary club. The '.Marsellaise"
was suggested and the whole party was
arrested. Du Gayle was tired for
treason, but family influence saved him.
He was then transferred to Africa, and
made lieutenant in a regiment of Spahis.
He was in several campaigns under Gen.
Negrier and st. Arnaud. Four brothers
were in Africa with him. The other four
were already dead. At the outbreak OF
the Crimean war he was ordered with his
regiment to Russia He was at the charge
at Inkerman and also at Balaklava, and was
badly wounded at the battle of Alma. From
this wound he was always slightly
lame. He was brevetted captain for gal
antry, and held the position of ensign
bearer to general (now Marshal MacMahon.
HIS future seemed bright, when an unfort
innate affair ruined ali his prospects. There
was much political feeling among the Off
eers of the French army, and the Orleanists
and imperialists were bitterly opposed to
each other. This resulted in a series of
seven duels, all on one day, and between
champions of the rival factions. -Four men
were killed outright In these duels. Du
Gayle was an Orleanlst and tough Renede
Marnesea, who was SAID to be the illeglti-
mate son of Napoleon LII. Marnesea was
killed, and then began Du Cayles troubles.
His promotion was stopped, men were
assed over his head, and finally he was
forced To resign. He returned to Paris, and
IS he had Tins basso voice he studied
music at the conservatory for three years
and became pensionalre of the opera
He was also basso in the original perform
ance Of 1.-The Bohemian Girl" at Rouen.
He then went travelling in the East Indies
with an opera company, was away five
years, and accumulated fortune, which
ne sent to France. On his return he landed
at Marseilles and learned that he had lost
all but 81, QUO francs by the failure of a
/ L a. L
to Buenos Ayres and started a theatre. 1t
failed, and he went to New Orleans, where
he paased many unhappy years. He re-
turned to France in 1869, and came back
to thu. city as basso. lie sang with the Hes
and Kellogg troupe, and many other com
panies.

Natural Vinegar.

While travelling through Texas, recently,
heard of and visited the above resort of
the sick and afflicted. Sour lake is situated
in Hardin County, Texas, nine miles from
the Texas and New Orleans railroad. 1t
certainly one of natures freaks. On my
way from Houston to Orarge. / stopped
off at the nearest station and visited the
lake. At that time there were about seven
ty-tive visitors from different parts of the
Union stopping at the lake for their health,
using the water for bathing and drinking.
The lake Is what should call large sized
pond, with bathing apartments around the
sides. The water Is sour, hence its name !;
and gas is oozing up through the ground
all about near the place, anu bubbling up
through the water in the lake. By taking
an empty fruit-can with one end out and
small hole punched in the other end. and
by sticking the open end in the mud near
the lake, gas will shoot out through the
hole and burn like a candle, if set on fire.
Near the lake are eight or ten springs. all
of different class of wafer, but mere or
less sour. They are numbered from one TO
eight; some drink one and some another,
according to their ailments. While vas
there | drank No. 8, as l was little in
clined to be dyspeplic at the time, and l
was told to use No. 3, and thought it helped
me Immediately. No. 3 Is sour enough to
make lemonade. There is large hotel
and many out cabins on the premises. The
hotel is well Kept but the Improvements
are poor, the property being in litigation.

Little jake Jones.

Old Mrs. Jones borrowed Mrs. Prov ms
recipe for making watermelon pickle the
other day, and, being hard of hearing, as
she couldn't see to read very well, she got
her grandson jake to read it for her.
jake took the paper, like dutiful child,
and, holding it upside dewn, commenced:
Take a green watermelon"
"Why, jake, amt you mistaken? l
thought the melon must be ripe"
''Oh, what's tine matter wild you! Gew
ever see a watermelon that wusn't green ?"
'Cut the watermelon into four
halves
"But there amt only two halves to any
thing. | don't believe you are reading
that, jake
"Nell, don't have to, anyhow, that's
what the reseet says. Tnen soak it in q
pint cup"
.'Oh, dear mel How in the world can
you put a watermelon In pint cup?'
"Well, aint here to tell the whereases
and howfores.' I'm just readin' the facts
and you can put in the filosofee to suit your
taste. After soakin the melon put it in a
skillet ard fry it fur five days"
IL wonder if Mrs. Brown sent me such
a recipe as that {" said the old lady; but
jake kept on:
Then put the watermelon in a quart
bowl and pour over it a gallon of vinegar,
aking care not to spill the vinegar"
..l'd Just like to know how you can pour
gallon into quart bowl without spilling
any of it :" but jake continued:
"Then sift a peck of pepper through a
milk strainer over the melon, and to one
cup of butter and the white and yolk sand
shells of three eggs, and throw In the old
hen that laid them, and four sticks Of Gin

and jake sid out of the door and left the
old lady looking like wrinkle on a monu-
ment.

A Doctors Mistake.

Al some of the more primitive German
and Bohemian watering places quaint old
custom prevails, in virtue of which the
resident medical or bath doctors take up
their stations every morning at fixed
hour, under particular trees, on the leading
promenade of their respective Bade- Ort, 81
that their patieots may make sure of find
ing them for consultation or advice at a
particular time and in particular place
A good memory for faces Is a sine qua non
to these sons of Esculapius, who in the
height of the season frequently interview
from fifty to sixty invalids apiece during
these receptions. Mistakes as to identity,
however, will occur, and sometimes result
in singularly comical complications. Re-
Gently one of the most popular physicians
at crowded Bade Ort was visited under
his tree by an American gentleman, re.
cent arrival, who complained that the
waters caused him such terrible headaches
that he thought he had better drop them
and depart 10 other climes. The doctor
unwilling thus promptly TO lose his patient,
looked over MIN hastily and, perceIving
that he wore fat sombrero, told him it
was not the waters that made his head
acne, but his Internationally heavy hat"
Swiftly the American betook him 10 the
nearest halter, of whom he purchased u
straw fabric SO light as to be ali but Im-
ponderable. and went on drinking the
waters as before. His headaches, how
ever, growing worse instead OF leaving
him, he again called upon the medical ad
wiser few days later, and told him that
his head was still so bad that he really
must try some other cure. The doctor,
within the meantime had forgotten all about
his previous prescriptions, and was as re-
luctant as ever to let the patient depart,
again cast comprehensive glance at him,
and espying the straw hat, exclaimed:
''You Cannot expect to be free from
headache If you wear such preposterously
light head-covering. A man of your age,
nearly bald, in this hot weather, must pro-
tect his mead from the suns rays, by 8
stout, solid hat!'
.Thc American sazed st his interlncutor
for few secoDds Ia blank aslonlsnmert.
then, after bowling profoundly, he sarGoni-
cally replied:
Thank you, doctor; l am of to the
railroad stationi' turned ON his heel and
departed.

Capturing his Game Aiiye.

A party of soldiers out West, not having
much to do, resolved to go bear-hunting.
They had been out abont sixteen hours
and mad not seen bear, and being tired
and hungry, returned to camp.
On their arrival at headquarters they
missed one of their companl )ns, but thought
nothing of it, one of them remarking-
.sHe will return all right
They made their campfire, and COM
menced preparing for supper; they had the
coffee over the fire; one of them was slic-
ing some potatoes, another was stewing
some meat, and the remainder sat around
the fire waiting, when they were all startled
by a terrible noise that seem to come near
er TO camp.
Suddenly the thickets parted, and in
rushed the missing man, his hair standing
ON end, his face deadly white, his gun gone,
and his arms flying in the air, as if grasp
ing for imaginary objects, and about two
feet behind him came a great black bear.
The soldiers seized their guns, and one
of them, levelling his piece, shot the bear
dead.
The pursued soldier turned. when he saw
the bear drop, and, looking at one of them,
said breathlessly-
SIS he deldi"
One of them asked:
"Why didn't you shoot him, instead Of
running"
"Whst do you take me fort" replied the
missing one; ''do you think was such 4
darned fool as to shoot him when l coalC

AduIteration In FOOD.

The adulteration of our food, drink and
medicines, which 1t is now sought to pre-
vent by National Legislation, has already
attained a surprising magnitude. Expert
ence warrants the belief that if not effici-
emily checked it will be much more exten-
sive in the futnre than now. The work of
adulteration is one of growth. 1t begins
in a small way and ends nowhere, In cof-
fee, for example; a third of a century ago
it was adulterated with chicory to the ex-
tent of about two and a half pouns to the
hundred, From that point it grew In few
years to fully fifty per cent Then the
chicory itself was subjected to adultera-
ton and now it is not impossible TO obtain
samples of so-called coffee which does not
contain more than twenty-five per cent of
the genuine article. Even the man who
buys his coffee in the berry is liable to re-
ceive a villainous admixture of real ber-
ries with other stuff that has been moulded
into the true shape but contains none Of the
true material. Parties IN the trade re-
member when five per cent. of adultera-
tion In pepper was about as much as was
considered safe; and now the bogus
aLlOuuls, III Tic WOISl CdStS, W hos ioi
from nj e tenths of The whole. And In
these, as well as other cases too numerous
to mention, viler stuff Is now used as sub
stitute than people cared to employ at the
outset. There is no limit te the fraud when
once it is started; or at least the limit is
only reached in the utter extinction OF the
genuine article. That limit has already
been touched in the case of not few
drugs; it is nearly reached in the manufac-
ture of artificial honey: and sugar and but
tel are already far gone in the process oil
deterioration. Surely it is time to stop.
The greed which would amass riches at the
risk of causing disease and death to thou
sands has had play enough. 1t has become
question of self-preservation to the great
mass of consumers. They must die if the
adulterators he permitted to ply their ne
farious arts much longer. Let us call
halt along the whole line-and at once.
