COneY Island Years Ago.

"Howard" says in New York letter
to the Boston GlO5e: You know Coney
Island, of course. No one comes to New
York in the summer time without tasting
the clans and the beer of Coney Island.
But which of you to-day knows Coney
Island as the Lord made it2 Jump back
with me twenty-five or thirty years.
Let's play we are both boys again. Here
we are in Brooklyn on a bright Saturday
morning in July, and we want something
to do. One of the boys suggests to go
down to Coney Island. What for2
CLANS and bath. alright. Clubbing
together we hire a wagon, and take the
twelve-mile drive along the kings high
way, shaded on either side by magnif-
cent over-arching trees, beautiful in their
unframed naturalness. All along, dotted
here and there, are road houses, nothing
more than a shanty in which there is a
bar-room with huge piazza stretching
all about it on which men sit and loaf
and spit. On we 90 till we come to
long stretch of sand on which are few
deserted bathing-houses and one or two
fly tents. Quickly disrobing we plunge
into the magnificent surf, sheltering our
selves from swarms of mosquitoes that
hum and sing above us in batfled rage.
An hour spent there in undiluted fun
among ourselves, with q fight or two
with another gang of boys beyond,
brings us to the dressing point, whence
we go in body to the nearest clammery
and gorge ourselves with CLANS fresh
from the sand, with soft.shell crabs still
kicking the mud of neighbcring creek
from their claws, with blue fish just
hauled from the stream beyond, and
with vegetables, if we care for them,
pulled ten minutes before from the garden
spots we passed as we came along. This,
mind you, was all there was of Coney
Island, fifteen years ago.

Flesh Of Wild and Domestic Animals

An amateur writer on gastronomic
matters AYERS that the ''hesh of young
animals digests quicker than that of ma,
ture ones" If that is the fact, the
world has been much in error about veal.
He goes on TO say: "The flesh of wild
birds is more tender than that of domes-
ticated ones. This is accounted for by
the greater amount of exercise they take,
thereby renewing their flesh more rapid
ly, and making it younger than that of
birds which live a more quiet life" If
exercise is what does it, there must be a
strange perversity in old game cocks
trained for the pit, that makes them per-
sist in becoming as tough as punches of
fiddIe-strings, and hard as clock works.
No birds have more systematic exercise
than they, but, it all does not make
them tender as young capon. And ex-
ercise doesn't seem to improve the jack
rabbit of the plains. He roams airily
over hundred miles, more or less, to
pick up, bit by bit. the fragments of his
daily grub, but gets so tough at it that
he makes the coyote a-weary that seeks
to eat him. But the jack rabbits tame
cousin, however old, is almost as tender
as frog. -Neo York Cook.

Rev. DR. Newman, Grants pastor, in
speaking of the Grant family the other
dav, remarked that the income left by
the dead hero was not sufficient for the
entire eight families The American
people should and are willing to pension
Mrs. Grant and surround her with plenty
the rest of her life, but if we mistake not
the time will be somewhere in the dim
future when this nation shall agree to
support in luxury Fred, Buck and the
INDECENT English on-in-law, Satoris. The
Grant boys, with unequalled opportun-
titles, should be very wealthy, and had
they any of the spirit that should fill an
Americans breast, they would spurn the
idea of becoming public pensioners. But
they seem to be made of different stuff,
ready and willing to take anything that
is given to them.

The threshing machine is refuting a
great many of the statements which crop
statisticians scattered broadcast a few
weeks ago. In Maryland, Pennsylvania
and Virginia the wheat is yielding much
better, both in quantity and quality, than
could have been expected if credence
were given to the early reports Of those
who claimed to know what was coming.
Indiana is surprising all who are interest
ed by the unexpected excellence of her
crop. As to Kansas and Nebraska, reports
are less definite, but are, on the whole,
very encouraging. The spring wheat
section proper is sure TO have large crop
but the estimates of damage by the
season ofheat and heavy rain which it
has passed through are as yet too con-
flicting to accurately estimate the extent
of damage which has been done. The
past week has been cool and throughout
the Gallatin valley harvesting is every
where in progress and it may now be
asserted that the crop win turn out far
better than many well informed men
have prophesied that it would.

On Monday while J. I'll. Frank was

been for the stump Of large tree the
roots of which supported the horses,
they would have gone down pretty deep.
