Chickens Come Home.

Some writer on natural history has observed
that little chickens come home to roost. 1t has
since become accepted fact. Another writer
has also shrewdly observed that it makes off
ference whose OK is gored. 1t does make big
difference. Clevelands Indiana appointees hav-
ing got their appointments by violent charges of
offensive partisanship" against the old officers
removed for their benefit, and at their instance,
now pretend to be terribly outraged by being
Lamb says he cannot see what his offensive
partisanship' before he got his Office has to do
with his confirmation, etc, etc. Of course, he
can't see! Mr.. Henderson says he wants an op
portunity to clear himself of ''any charges of
reasonable force" filed against him. Of course,
Of course! This thing of giving one no chance

Beck and Bayard.

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
Senator Beck has now reason to eXclaim,
''Save me from my friends just before the
Democratic national convention assembled in
Chicago, he was warm advocate for Bayard as
the presidential nominee. He button holed sem

man, exasperated some Of his colleagues One
senator from the West said: ''If you should
nominate Bayard would not atte mpt to organ
ize for campaign in our State 1t would be no
use: He would be defeated by 10000 votes"
Nevertheless, Mr.. Beck went to the Chicago
convention with his voice for Bayard He but
ton hoied delegates. He sat on the platform
with coterie of senators working for Bayard
A day or two ago certain senator called at the
State Department. and asked Mr. Bayard if he

the lookout for a new presidential candidate.

The South Reads Only One Side.


Newsdealer, IN st. Louis lilobe-Democrat.
An article in magazine by Southern gen
eral will sell a great many more copies than an
article by Northern general. The reason is
the Southern generals article IS read by both
confederates and federas of the late war; where
as the Northern generals article. is read only
by the federals. The Northern people--that is,
those who sympathized with the North in the
war-read botn sides, but the Southern people
read only their own side. For this reason the
trade likes the magazines best when they pre-
sent the Southern side of battle or a cam

The Food of the Persian Masses.

The Food of the Persian masses'
 The food of the Persians is very varied. As a rule, the very poor do not get meat more than once a week; while villagers and the numerous nomadic tribes see it very rarely, and only on great occasions, as at marriage feasts. The ordinary diet of labor ing man is bread and cheese in winter, bread and fruit in summer. But even the laborers manage to obtain an oc- casional bowl of strong soup; and they vary their diet with conserves. dried fruits, basins of curds, and hard-boiled eggs, The actual weight of bread that muleteer or laborer can consume, and does consume, daily, is very great, SOW en pounds not being an extraordinary allowance In the South of Persia dates are the staple food; they are very cheap and satisfying. During the summer, lettuces, grapes, apricots, onions, and cucumbers form the dain- ties of the villager, and these with bread, cheese, and curds are their only food. In every large town cookshops abound. But in Persia, as in the rest of the East, bread, rice, or dates are the real food-the meat merely the sauce or boane bouche. Persians of all ages are very fond of confectionery, and are constantly deyouring sweets. These are generally pure and good, but there is little variety in color, most of them being white, and nearly all are favored with lemon juice. The low er-class Persian will eat several pounds of grapes, cucumbers, or april cots for a meal. They eat onions as we eat apples. Pomegranates and melons are in great demand as food; and the melons, which run to l4lb. in weight, are very nutritious. Cucum- bers are looked on as fruit, and are eaten in large quantities by rich and poor. They are not indigestible. sev- en pounds weight may be often had for a halfpenny. Grapes in infinite variety and of the most delicous kinds, from the huge long grape, which meas ures Pin, to the tiny sultana, sweet as honey to the taste. The curds, or mast is simply made by adding a a small portion of rennet or else old curds to warmed milk; in few holrs 1t sets into a mass, the cream on top If eaten the first day, it Is like junk ct; if allowed to remain 1t becomes sour, and will keep good any time. Tn this sour state it is preferred, and is either eaten with honey. sugar, or grape sugar, Eggs boiled hard and dyed gay color are much eaten; from forty to fifty can be had for 9d.

The Thistle and the CornsInIk.

A Canada Thistle which had taken root in a farmers garden one day saw blade of Corn peeping out of the Ground, and in tone of Ridicule called out:
 "What Little one for Cent It's a Wonder you have the Cheek to force Yourself into my Company"
 The Blade continued to grow day by day, and it was of such bright color and looke1 so Thrifty that the Thistle finally called to the Farmer and said:
 "Really, but can't put up with such impudence, and I hope you will Remove that corn-stalk at once."

 "Me? Why I'm the Biggest and .Handsomest Canada Thistle in the Business. My Genealogy carries me back to King"

The Boy that Vas Buried.

A Madrid (Spain) letter tells tnls story of the cholera epidemic: In Ulea, Murcia, there was attacked man of over middle age, the father of a fami- ly, and also his little boy, aged Il, called Jose Gomez. The father died, and few days after, at 6 in the after noon, the boy died also, and was carri- ed immediately to the churchyard, at the same time when the gravedigger was finishing his days toll. He view ed the last arrival, but although the grave was almost filled up he threw in the dead body and went away. Upon the next morning, as he opened the cemetery gate, the first thing he saw was Jose Gomez, almost naked, just as he was buried. amusing himself. "Hullor' exclaimed the astonished gravedigger, "who took you out of that?" Nobody" replied the boy, cheerfully, T came out myself" "Bueno (good); come here, I wish to speak to you" Fl chico (the little one), believing that he was to be treated to another burial, began to run, and did not stop until he reached his mothers cottage, whom he fright ened out of her wits, as she believed he hal come from the other world "Where is your father?" was the first question put by the poor woman. "Oh he stayed there; but give me some, thing to eat, mother, for l am very hungry" The mother broke out into cries and lamentations, and the neigh bors crowded in and tried to surround the chico, who fled and endeavored tC hide himself, believing firmly those attempts were premonitory of another funeral. In the end he was caught and put to bed, all the time protesting that his one malady was hunger. St they gave him his breakfast, and nov he is the pride of the village as h.
 runs about stoning dogs, which, i

COUNTERFEIT EXPERTS.
Women Whose Sense of Feel~
 ing Is Marvellous.
Able to Pick Out Spurious Money as
 Though by Instinct.

There is a very large amount of counterfeit paper afoat, and some of 1t finds its way to the Treasury, when it is discovered in the redemption division, says Washington letter to the Pittsburg Post It is here that all the money sent in from outside sources is counted and examined. The counting and sorting is done by ladies, and they are the most expert in the country. They can tell a counterfeit instinctively. with eyes open or shut, and there is not bank cashier in the United States, or even among the large contingent now sojourning in Canada, who could compete with them in the matter of determining counter feits. They can tell spurious bill as far as they can see it, and the mere handling of the paper is enough for them to decide upon it's genuineness. The silk paper upon which Treasury notes are printed can only be made by expensive machinery, and it is felony to even manufacture the blank paper without due authority. Under the circumstances all counterfeits are print ed upon inferior paper, which lends this great facility in the matter of detec- tion. A guide was once taking a party of visitors through the redemption di- vision, and was expatiating upon the expertness of the fair money handlers in this respect. He solemnlyassured the party that one of the girls had detect ed counterfeit in the middle of pile of money six inches thick by merely seeing the thin edge of it To stran- ger it seems more like diablerie than the possession of trained vision and a delicate sense of touch in the detection of counterfeits.
 These females experts receive $75 a month for their services. They do nothing but count from g in the morn- ing until 4 in the afternoon, and their hands move with rapidity seldom ac- quired by the most expert bank clerks, But they make no mistakes. A mis- count or a counterfeit overlooked comes out of the wages of the one making the error, and two or three mistakes a month would wipe out a girls salary, as some of the bills hand led are very large. The great draw back of the position is the poison ab- sorbed by the continuous handling of money. The backs of all Treasury notes are printed with pigment which consists chiefly of Paris green. Small particles of this substance are absorbed, and in a year or two the girl who may have entered the Treasury smooth skinned and healthy finds her self victim of lassitude, and with her hands and face broken out in malig- nant sores. Each employee is fur nished with sponge to moisten the fingers while counting. A new one is supplied every morning, and by even- ing it's color will have changed to 8 dull black by the action of the poison Notwithstanding this drawback there is never any difficulty in filling vacan- cieS.

A Good Place for Dentists and Pho-
 tographerS.


 Throughout South America all the dentists and neatly all the photogra- phers are immigrants from the United States. and if there Is any one among them who isn't getting rich he has nobody but himself to find fault with, because the natives give both profes- sions plenty to do.
 Nowhere in the world is so large an amount of confectionery consumed in proportion to the population as in South America and, as natural con- sequence, the teeth of the people re- quire great deal of attention. As a usual thing Spaniards have good teeth, as they always have beautiful eyes, and are very particular in keeping them in,x condition. Hence the den- lists are kept busy, and as they charge twice as much as they do in the United States, the profits are very large In these countries it is the custom to serve sweetmeats at every meal dulces, as they are called-preserved fruits of the richest sort. jellies, and confections of every variety and de- scription. Many of these are made by the nuns in the convents, and are sold to the public either through the con- fectionery stores or by private appli- cation, A South American housewife, instead of Gdering jams and preserv- es and jellies from her grocer, or put ting up supply in her own kitchen during the fruit season. patronizes the nuns, and gets 8 better article at a lower price The nuns are very in- genious in this work, and prepare forms of deicacies which are unknown to our table.

The Paris styles reach here as soon as they do the North American cities. and where the na- tional costumes are not still worn, there is great deal of elaborate dressing.
