Chop Scou.

Almost every day in the early morn

from five to fifty pounds in weight, and
are selected with great care. Yester-
day. among the Celestial buyers. the
reporter ran across Fang Low, who is
cook and steward for a large club in
Chinatown. In capacous basket,
half full of green vegetables Fang had

al. You come long and see him."
The reporter accompanied him to his
kitchen, w;lich is on the second floor of
No. IA Mott street. Here Fang went
to work industriousy. He washed the
pork thoroughly, and with a sharp
knife removed all the bone, cartilage,
and skin. A second and more energet-
ic washing ensued, after which the
pork was cut into strips about fourteen
inches long, four wide, and half inch
thick. The strips were laid in pan,
and over them was poured a brown
fluid resembling Worcestershire sauce.
in appearance and flavor. After few
minutes soaking in this aromatic bath,
each strip was fastened to an iron rod
by Il wire hook. The rod was then laid
across the open top Of brick oven, SO
that the strips hung suspended in what
with Americans would be the fire pit
The top was then closely covered with
pine boards. Outside of the oven on a
pile of bricks built continuous with the
ash door, Fang then made a very hot
fire with small pieces of dry hickory
wood The druught, regulated by
pieces Of sheet iron on either side OF
the fire, carried the flame and smoke
into the ash pit and thence through the
fire pit into the chimney. In the bot
tom of the ash pit was pan which re-
ceived the melted fat from the strips Of
pork.
"Makee fire velly hot, pig cook quick
and alice fat lun out, said Fang.
"Makee little fire. pig cook yelly slow

The reporter tasted of two pieces.
One which had been quickly cooked
was crisp, and in flavor halfway be-
teen well roasted chicken and thor
oughly cooked tenderloin. The other,
which had been cooked three hours,
was almost like iirst-class English
breakfast bacon. The flavor of the
sauce and OF the hickory smoke, how
ever, made both different from any
thing he had ever tasted.

We have all read Whittier's story of
Skipper Ireson, who is represented rs
deserving ship-wrcckcd crew, and
being tarred and fcalhcrcd and then
driven through the streets of Marble
head for his inhumanity. The facts
are. that rs lrcson's schooner, the
Betty. was on her way home from the
fishing banks in the storm. she passed
the schooner Active oil Cape Cod in II
sinking condition. lrcson called his
crew together and consulted with
them as to what should be done. They
all declared it was madness to risk
their own lives in an attempt to rescue
the crew of the Active. lrcson then
wanted them to lie by the wreck for
the night, and then try to save them,
but the crew demurrcd, and compel led
him to make all sail for home. when
they reached Marbcncad, fearing the
indignation of their brave nelghbors,
they agreed to place ali the blame
upon the skipper, and the story was
believed.
Ireson. however, after he had been
tarred and fcuthered and ridden
through the town and back again, said
to the men and boys, "you will live to
regret all this and they did-tor the
true story came out later, and it is Il
pity the poet Whittier did not know
what the true story was ere his grace

How Champagne II Made.

In France the making Of champagne
is process requiring extreme care and
attention at every stage for at least
two years The grapes are picked with
especial pains to keep any Of them
from falling or receiving bruises. Only
the juice of the first pressing is made
into high-class wine, and the quantity
of this that shall be drawn is regulated
by weight. Four hundred kilogrammes
are allowed for every forty gallons Of
wine. and when the desired quantity
has been obtained tho pressure is
stopped. The protruding edges of the
mass which have escaped the heavier
pressure arc cut of and subjected to a
second pressure, the juice from which
is called the first faille. A third pres
sure gives the second tmlle. and a
fourth the redeche, juices what are con-
sidered fit only for the workmen.
When the scum has risen in the wine-
tubs it is taken oil, and the casks are
filled and fumigated with sulphur and
put away, not quite full, in the cellar,
for fermentation. The wine is racked
of into other casks when the fcrmenta-
ton has subsidized, and becomes quite
clear by the time tho December frOsts
set in. 1t is then miyau. by bringing
together thirty or forty casks OF tho
same growth. and blended. Tannin is
added to neutralize grease and deposits,
and as much alcohol AS is required. At
a later stage a masque or deposit forms
on the side of the bottle, the removal
of which requires much care and skill
and manipulation for several weeks.
Afterward sirup of sugar and Slco-
hol is added, in proportions varying
according to the country to which the
wine is to be sent Finally, the bottles
are corked, wired, aud set Oh the end.

Battle Between IBat aud Hug.

Last evening as one OF our citizens
was walking along Main street. near
the Woodbine, he saw something fall
to tho ground, and on looking down
saw it was alive. Securing it with his
umbrella he found IL was bat. IL
was carefully taken up with pair Of
tongs and taken into Woodbinc, when
1t was discovered that the bat was
having a struggle for life with large
brown bug, something like beetle
bug. but larger. The bug had pow
erful pair of horns, curving forward,
full half an inch long. perhaps more,
and had forced one of these horns into
the eye OF the bat and the other into
its mouth, while with its legs it kept n
frm hold on the fur Of the bat, and the
bat was unable to get rid of its little
antagonist, Bat and bug were placed
under glass cover, and watched for
sometime with good deal Of interest
by quite a number. The bat was APP
parently much exhausted but made a
gallant and unsuccessful fight. 1t was
at so much disadvantage that it was
forced to lie upon its back, and its feet
were Of no use. 1t bit, or rather tried
to bite, but to no avail, as the one
thing it could bite was the horn of the
bug, which didn't seem to mind the
biting. The bat was bleeding and the
bug appeared to be sucking the bats
blood. The bat would struggle for a
few moments until exhausted, and
then take brief rest. while the bug
remained calm and quiet as If it were
aware 1t had sure thing. The SYM
pathy of the witnesses was with the
bat, and finally it was desired to sep
arate them. This was no easy matter.
No one cared to take hold of either of
the combatants, so couple Of wires
we're procured, and after while, by
hard, careful work, the bugs back
was broken, though it held on to the
very last, giving way leg by leg. No
sooner was 1t free than it jumped
across the glass like flash. and land
ed again on the face of the bat 1t
was not allowed to secure a good hold
this time and in a moment was under
separate glass. The bat lay down as
IL entirely exhausted, and half an hour
later was evidently dying and was
thrown away. The struggle lasted
about three quarters OF an hour from
the time the contestants fell to the
sidewalk until they were separated. -

"It's all right, he's fired in the air, "

stranger. The chivalrous delight of
the poor Hibernian is now shared by
all students of philosophy. Mr.. Her.
bert Spencer and Mr.. Frederick Harri-
son have "tired in the air." and their
fierce little controversy has ended in
smoke. A dispute that was painful
has ended in perfectly courteous and
honorable reconciliation. For some
days many persons were in great anx-
iety about the strife, nor were they
absolutely relieved when MIR. Spencer
proposed to refer the matter to arbtra-
tion. Perhaps the king of Denmark,
when he has quite worked off unfair
bowling and the sacred covenant,
might have looked into this business
also. The story of the feud is long
and wandering.

AT Harchcad wood IL ended.

heavy and dangerous. The whole thing
is rigid and stiff-looking, and to the
observer who has had to do with the
external aspects of locomotives it is
unprepossessing and unlovcly. The

ders to himself how long it would be
before he would ditch his train il he
had to run on new Western railroad
with such an engine. Where would he
be on sharp curve, or how would
such running-gear adapt itself to an
unevenly ballasted trackP The low
centre of gravity of the American loco
motive, the weight distributed well
down between the wheels, the play Of
the small broad flanges under the pilot
truck, and the external gearing of the
driving-wheels, all give the American
engine an appearance of stability which
impresses not merely the layman, but
also the expert. -Harper's Magazine
