a GREAT CHANGE IN THE SOUTH. -
An old man said to me to day: "Do
you know that it is the rarest thing to
find a good cook Ia the Southern family.
Before the war the Southern people had
the best cooking in the world-now we
have the poorest" This is the reason ::
In the slave days every Southern lady
was an accomplished housewife. She
selected servant who was to be the
cook and trained her herself. She
supervised, instructed and advised until
the cook had become perfect and was in
stalled as cook for life In training the
cook mothers trained their daughters. If
the slightest thing went wrong in the
kitchen either mother or daughter could
at once detect and correct it. Hence we
| had cooking that was famous the world
over. Why, in those days if l had been
called on to supply one article by which
| alone the South could demonstrate a
superiority, should have selected the
old Southern waffle. l think it was of
rather finer perfection than our states
manship. The waffle is now only a
memory. 1t persisted at Appomattox.
'Since the war Southern women are
no longer cooks Having to deal with
casual servants, there is no longer any
temptation TO train a servant as a cook.
The moment she becomes proficient she
is apt to leave you. Hence, our house
wives have lost their ambition. They
pick up whatever servants come handiest
and take their chances. There is really
all the more reason than ever they should
understand cooking. The schools, too,
are against u.s. They teach music,
French. German, painting and dancing,
and have no time for the useful arts"
You object to this?"
'Yes. l had rather my daughter
could make biscuit than paint face,
l had rather she could roast a turkey in
one language than sing song in ten

PLUNGING INTO THE SURF.
Sailing Through the Air a Distance
of One Hundred Feet and Landing
ia the Waves.
Mem York Stor. Julu Il.

ThroDgs of eager and curious men and
women assembled on the Brighton Beach
bathing pavilion at o'clock last evening
to witness the promised descent of
Frank A. Gibbons from the cupola of
Bunnelps Museum to a point in the
ocean a distance of 200 feet. 1t was
fully an hour after the time fixed before
the aerial athlete made his appearance.
To understand the danger of the feat. it
should be explained that q wire rope half
an inch in diameter was stretched as
nearly taut as possible from the cupola
of the museum, a distance of about 100
feet from the surface Of the water, to an
anchorage imbedded in the sand at a
point over 200 feet distant At the
most elevated point of this rope
an iron traveller ten inches. long was
fixed on two pulleys, and from
either end of the traveller ropes six feet
long depended, and on the end of each
was a strong iron ring, six inches in
diameter. At 6:55 o'clock Gibbons made
his appearance on the roof of the
museum. The vast crowds below
cheered Justify. The athlete is man of
80 years; he stands feet 1O} inches
high, and weighs 1875 pounds. He seemed
a splendid specimen of well-develOped
manhood, and the careful manner in
which his NapOleOnic mustache was
waxed out showed that he is more
anxious about his personal appearance
than about the safety Of his limbs.
Before he started on his brief Journey
there was considerable hustle around the
pavilion and museum. Three strong
swimmers, armed with life preservers,
occupied the water in front of the
museum. Two other men with life.pre-
servers fastened on long ropes stood far
out on the jetty ready for any emer-
gency.
When everything was in readiness
Mr.. Bunnell addressed the assemblage
and said that the dangerous feat about
to be undertaken was one for the results
of which he would not hold himself re-
spOnsible. The athlete, he said, had
acted contrary to his advice, and he
wished to wash his hands in advance of
all responsibility. The crowd then
cheered, but some looked very serious.
Then the real business commenced. The
tackle holding the traveller was loosed
and a number of them held it in position
as MIR. Gibbons placed his feet IN the
lower ring. He held the descending
ropes with his hands till he found him.
self properly balanced, when he shouted
GO" The tackle was then thrown
loose, and down the traveller shot like an
arrow toward the surf. Gibbons held
position by his feet alone, and they were
stretched fully five feet apart. When
within four feet of the water he dropped
into the surf. and soon arose and was
loudly cheered by the crowd.
The descent, which occupied seven
seconds. was viewed by crowds from the
wooden pier, while large numbers OBJ
served it through glasses from the Man
haitian Beach Hotel. The anchorage will
at once be removed 100 feet further sea-
ward, and the feat will probably be at
tempted daily at high tide. The athlete
sustained no injury except a slight
spTaining of the wrist.

Mr.. Hurn, land when | received the

forming him that Douglass had been one
of the leading conspirators, and request
ing that he should be imme-

was illegal to do so, quietly put the dis

operator to take my place, started on my
search for Fred Douglass. l went di-

him the dispatch and promised him not

the telegraph Office and kept sharp
lookout for similar dispatches None
arrived, however, and when the allotted
time expired l sent the belated message
to its destination.
Gin the meantime those intrusted with
my secret saw Douglass and urged him
to leave the town as quickly as possible.
He was loath to do so at first, but the
expOstulations of his friends overcame
his objections, and in an hour he left on
railroad train which placed a gap of
forty miles between him and Philadel-
phia every hour. He reached his home
in Rochester, N. Y, in safety. destroyed
the compromising documents, and then
packed his gripsack and started for Can

left as soon as he did, for Immediately
after his departure from Rochester his
home was surrounded by officers"

4 DETECTIVES DIsCOvERY-TheP hila'
delphia Times among some anecdotes
of the late Detective Callahan, of that
city, relates the following: Zone day
there was great CONSERVATION in DreXel's
banking house over the discovery that q
whole page of checks, signed in blank,
was missing. These, in the hands of
expert rogues, were worth a million. Cal
lanan was sent for in a hurry. Every
clerk had q theory. Callahan glanced
around, climbed upon a stool, critically
examined the top of the screen on the
counter and stepped down. Nobody
ever reached over there. The
dust is undisturbed, he said. He
searched among the papers, checks, etc,
but could lot find the missing sheet.
Where do you throw your waste paperf
The spot was shown in the ash heap.
Callahan, after a minutes probing with
cane, turned up q greenish-looking
paper, which he examined and dis
covered to be the anxiously looked for
slip. Any waste-paper gatherer could
have picked it up in the interval between
Saturday, and Monday, when it had lain
out of doors. The elder Drexel, when
he was handed the sheet. rewarded the
detective with $50 which was the
quickest earned money he had ever re-
ceived."
