GERMAN MEALS AND sEryASrs.

There is generally garden attached
to private house in Germany, where
in summer half the meals are eaten.
For a German takes his meals out of
doors whenever he can. He is fond Of
the open mir, and seems indifferent to
the insects which annoy the more fas-
tidious Americans, who don't like eating
under the trees The foreigner will
find at the public garden hundreds of
wealthy families who have left their ele-
gantly appointed dining-room to dine
in The open air and listen to the music
1t tires one so to always eat at home"
they would say; or, "The best cook
borcs one if you must eat after him all
the time" But few American servants
would put up with the manners and
ways of these German mistresses. The
author of European Breezes" thus de-
scribes the German servants food and
privileges:
The German cook is never paid more
than So month, and 80 at Christmas,
in household where five or six other
servants are kept; and she is expected
to leave her domain to perform any
duty assigned her in any part of the
house.
/ have even seen her sent for to dress
her lady's hair when her dressing maid
has been otherwise engaged
Servants are not allowed white bread,
and only the meat from which all the
life has been fayed in the making of
soup. At Christmas they are each pre-
sented with pound of coffee and SUI
gar; and, excepting on Sunday, when
two Jumps of sugar are allowed, they
never have the article.
The housewife who is prudent carries
on her chatelaine little key. German
sugar-basins sometimes have locks, and
sugar is expensive. She unlocks the
basin, and locks it again when the meal
IL over, lea'ing out ON sunday the two
Jumps each for the domestic.
Everything is apportioned by the mis-
tress, who goes much into the kitchen.
If the kitchen supper is to consist Of
rice and milk, half pint of milk and a
cup of rice are allowed for each servant,
il of pancakes, one egg for each
All these details are carefully looked
out for by the lady of the house, who,
according to our American ideas, waste
about two-thirds of her time in this
manner.
1t matters not how wealthy she is, she
prides herself upon knowing every de-
tail of her kitchen, and too often enters
into discussion of the edibles and their
ingredients at table.

ROMANCE IN CRIME.
The Revelations Suggested By a Drop Of
Candle Grease.

|
| Candle Grease.
Roman Letter to Cincinnati Gazette.l
But the art of assassination reached
its elimination in the murder by Count
Faella, at Imola, of the priest Costa
Count Faella was man of about 40
years of age, of an ancient and noble
family, and highly esteemed officer of
artillery in the Italian army. He owed
a debt of about $4,000 to the priest,
and, seeing no way of paying It, invited
him one summer day to breakfast.
After coffee and pleasant conversation,
he led his unsuspecting victim into the
| garden, passing through the ground
floor of the house. Here, long after,
the poor priest was found in a well, the
mouth of which had been carefully
hidden by India mating and green
/ boughs and little earth. 1t was o
complete trap, the murdered man being
found ON his knees with his hands
raised to defend the Lead. Heavy
stones thrown down had broken his
limbs, and wagon load of rice husks
had smothered him. The disappearance
of the priest was so mysterious that the
utmost vigilance of the detectives was
exerted to discover the assassin. But
only proof that amounted to certainty
was believed, fixing the crime upon
Count Faella, thought to be an honor
able man and connected with many of
the wealthiest and most respected
families in the place. The thirst for
wealth was his destruction. He found
himself poorer than his relatives and
friends, and entered into various specu-
lations, which, proving unsuccessful,
left him in debt. He borrowed money,
forged notes, and finally murdered one
of his creditors in the most ferocious
and extraordinary manner. Not only
did he prepare the well, having an old
one which already existed in the same
lOcHl lD III W
divert suspicion, but he purchased heavy
stones to complete his work when the
priest should have fallen in The
detective genius of the Italian police
is remarkable. During the researches,
when as yet no positive evidence had
been found, and the police and the men
who had Ding the new well, and filed
up the old one, were searching for Don
Costa, drop of candle grease revealed
the position of his tomb. The well
digger remembered to have stuck a
candle on nail over the place where he
was digging, and drop of grease had
fallen on the wall below. He found
the spot, and, digging there, the terrible
secret of that dark room was discovered.
Faella took poison, which was adj
ministered to him by some of his rela-
tives, in prison, and so escaped the con-
sequences of his deed.

The flesh of the sheep is the best
meat in the world; it is also the poor
est. A lean, thin sheep, that has out
lived its usefulness rs q wool-bearer,
and been cut down by the RELENTLESS
knife as cumberer Of the pasture
ground, and consigned to the pot in the
vain hope Of mascerating its toughened
fibers, affords an unsavory and un-
palatable meat, which has taught many
to loathe the name Of mutton and
abominate its very smell. On the con-
trary, not the aromatic .favors Of yeni-
son, the gamey richness Of wild fowl,
or the sweet juices OF short-horn sir
loin, can snrpass tho virtues of South
down marrow and fatness. IL is sweeter

nutritious than any other variety Of

remember the time when used to SIT,
happy and thoughtless boy,
When father came home from his work AZ last
And was tired of my toy;
remember the time, and none more sweet
Shall know forevermore,
When sat at eve by my mothers side
On the sill of the old front door
remember I'd sit till fell asleep,
And lit TO their loving talk,
While the crtckets chirped, and the 6ref,,e.
bright
Flew over the garden walk
And often would father tell the tale
OF the time long years before.
When he led his bride to a happy home
Ger the sill of the old front door
Iremcmber when grandfather failed and died.
And eighty years old was he,
And well knew that never again
He would ride me upon his knee:
And, though but gay and thoughtless boy,
wept and my heart was sore
When saw them bearing him slowly out
Der the sill of the old front door.
II is many weary day since then,
AID too am old and gray;
But the tears come crowding into NV ewes
When think of that long past day
And only hope that, whatever end
Fate may have for me I'm store,
shall pass once more, ere pass away.

Speak gently, It l. better far
TO rule by love than fear:
Speak gently! let no harsh word mar
The good we might do here.
Speak gently! 'tis little thing
Dropped in the hearts deep well;
The good, the Joy which it may bring.
Eternity shall tell.
Kind hearts are the gardens:
Kind thoughts are the roots:
Kind words are the blossoms:
Kind deeds arc the fruits.
The night has Thousand ewes.
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart hut one;
Yet the light Of the whole Life dies
When love is done.
