Morsels of Gastronomy.

Bostonians deny that their lettuce crop
is failure this year, and want to find
the malicious person that put the story
in circulation.
Oscar Wilde told Chicago reporter
that we eat finely in this country-far
better than they do in England. There
are none SO esthetic that cannot get up
an appetite.
They have wayin the South-where
considerable about good eating is known
of eating fried hominy with canvas
back duck. 1t is an experiment epicures
should all try.
Southern vegetables become more and
more abundant, and correspondingly
cheaper. The asparagus is particularly
good; likewise the peas, which taste as
fine as they look.

''Diners-out who are very much OPP
posed to wines often upset things on the
table trying to be helped second time to
branded fruits. The fact is inconsist-
ent, but nevertheless true.
At the Farmers dinner, held at the
Union League the other evening, they
had pkw shad, Southdown mutton,
Jersey woodcock, red-head duck and
other things very seldom on farmers
table.
A superhuity of courses is the trouble
of many modern dinner parties given by
class of suddenly and anxi-
ous-to-be-fashionabl people who have
yet much TO learn about the art of din
ing.
''Oh, yes" said old Mrs. Unsophisti-
cation, sit was real splendid dinner
party. We had real British Southdown
mutton from Kentucky, Roman punch
imported from Italy, and real French
black coffee cafe"
On tho menu card of a recent private
dinner party in San Francisco we find
enumerated saddle of wild goat, salmi
of gray goose, ham of black tail deer and
jagged hare-surely enough game for
one dinner.
At tho recent ball of the French cooks
in this city, the French Consul, in re-
Spouse to toast, made aspeech in which
he stated that the most powerful nations
are the ones that pay most attention to
gastronomy.

Clifford f. Hudson of Elmira, n. Y,
says MY aged mother suffered greatly
from poor digestion and general debility.
She was always complaining of her liver,

NTE0fHs Ol sN"'VUTifNV
Adding this sum to the sum of the reductions
specifically ordered in the instructions, the to-
tai is S25, 075, 2S6, which may he regarded as
marking the limits of any bill of this sort which
will be reported. 1t is believed, however, that
the expression of opinion against any reduc-
ton of taxes on whisky, beer, and tobaccowil
be regarded as applying with equal force to
the license fee now collected from dealers in
and manufacturers of these products, and also
to the tax on cigars If this be so, the pro-
posed bill will be limited to the abolition of the
taxes on bank capital deposits, and checks,
matches. cosmetics, perfumes, and medicines
not classed rs alcoholic. This limitation low
ers the reduction to about Sl6000.000.

A Winter Song.

Oh, Summer has the roses
And the laughing light south wind,
And the merry meadows lined
W ith dewy, dancing posies
But Winter has the sprites
And the witch ing frosty nights.
Oh, Summer has the splendor
OF the corn fields wide and deep,
Where scarlet poppies sleep,
And wary shadows wander,
But Winter fel Ids are rare
With diamonds verywhere.
Oh, Summer has the wild bees,
And the ringing, singing note
In the robins tuneful throat,
And the leaftalk In the trees;
But Winter h as the chime
OF the merry Christmas time.
Oh, Summer has the luster
OF the sunbeams warm and bright,
And rains that fall at night
HWhere reeds and lilies cluster;
But deep in Winters snow
The fires OF Christmas glow.

An exchange tells MS that sunflowers
arc an antidote TO malaria, but fails TO
say how many should be taken at a
dose. Perhaps two or three big ones
swallowed whole before breakfast
would fix man up so that he could
wade all around among malaria and
not get knocked out OF time. Delicate
persons, however, had better begin
with one sunflower, and see how 1t
agrees with them before increasing tie
dose.

The Nlsan Monkey.

The gOrillas are the terror of A.
RIGA. In the gorilla country no lion
will live. They are man-haters and
kill them for the love of it, lea eing
the body, never eating them. When
they spy q negro they come down
from a tree, hit him on the head
with a club, which they WELD with
their hind claw, or carry him up in
a tree, there to murder him. Their
strength is so great that they will
bend the barrel Of a rifle. Only one
live ono was ever brought to Eng
land. and that soon died. Several
have been shot, but they are tough
customers, and the natives dread
them more than any animal of the
African forests.
The gorilla makes q bed like a
hammock and swings in the trees.
The gorilla is the sworn enemy OF
the elephant because each derives its
subsistence from the same source.
When he sees an elephant pulling
down and wrenching off the
branches of a favorite tree the .gor-
lila steals along the bough, strikes
the sensitive probosis of the ele-
plant q violent blow with his club
and drives off the clumsy and starti-
ed giant shrilly trumpeting his pain
and rage through the jongles of the
forest. -CincinnaH Enquirer.

The advocates of the higher edu-
cation of women r rejoicing over
the fact that Mrs. Bryant and Miss
Ewes have come out in the fret and
highest division of the persons ex.
amined at London university, while
none of the seven males who had
enjoyed equal preparatory advanta-
ges have passed higher than the Sec
Ond division. To the Cincinnati Ga
zette it does not appear whether the
difference is to be attributed to in
equality of application or to dispsr-
ity of intellect. In all probability it
is.-O. Rep.

Some of the newspapers of Italy
are showing considerable concern
because Miss Alice Blaine, the
daughter of the ex-Secretary, is trsv-
cling in that country without q
chaperone. Italians can not yet I'M
derstand this, although they see Am
erican aud English girls walk alone
at all hours Of the day, and looking
as easy and unconcerned as if they
were in their own drawing-room.
Miss Blaine, however, being a great
somebody, has brought the inde-
pendence of American girls to the
fore, and leading articles have ap-
peared on the subject in the princi-
pal newspapers of Italy. But they
will learn upon a short acquaintance
that Miss Blaine is perfectly capable
of taking care Of herself, and If che
chooses to make visits among her
friends and the friends of her father
in Italy, just a she would do were
she at her home in Maine, it is no.
body's business, except to admire
her independence and self. reliance.
