Club Politics in New York.

Club politics will rupture friendships OF
many years standing. Nothing is more
potent as disorganiZer of existing in
timacies in a club than an election rem
dered bitter by personal interests. Men
forget their friends, take up with anybody
who happens to be of their own political
belief, and can think and talk of nothing
else before election day but the affairs OF
the club. The causes for revolution in
the management of clubs are as trivial es
the first causes of war. A member orders
poached eggs on toast, and tells the waiter
to have the toast served dry on n separate
plate from the eggs. The waiter brings
the eggs and toast on a single plate, and
the member tells him that he is dolt.
Thereupon another member at an ad-
joining table remarks that it is con-
trary to the house rules to reprimand q
waiter, and that all complaints should be
made in writing to the house committee.
Thereupon member No. ! requests men,
Der No. 2 to attend to his meal and not in
terfere with other men, and member No.
2 retaliates by complaining to the house
committee.
By this time twenty men are talking
about the "row," and the committee sends
a note to the member who ordered his
toast separate from his eggs and asks
him to come before them and explain the
matter. He retaliates by remarking that
he isn't felon in police court, and that
he doesn't propose to be hauled to the
bar like an everyday criminal. This
forms two parties in the club, and at the
next election the candidates for the gov
erning committee are arrayed either on the
eggs and toast side or against it. On this
issue they rise or fall.-Blakely Hall in
The ArgOnaut

Story of James Gordon Bennett, Jr.


The rumor Of James Gordon Benefits
death the other day, which was promptly
contradicted by The Herald, reminds me
of story Of that distinguished Ameri-
can editor which has never been pub
publication. In 1874 q party Of artists
The winter was very cold, and business
dull in the extreme. Most of them were
very impecunious; the minority were on
the point Of starvation. The brightest
and happiest of the party, "CRl" Blume,
now an artist of distinction and consider
able wealth, was the poorest of the lot.
He was too proud to borrow, and had no
income except from the sale of his pict-
ures-and these no one would buy.
The coolest day Of the week some Of
hfs fellow artists called upon him in his
garret and found him hard at work as
usual. There was no fire in the room, the
ice upon the panes was half inch thick,
and even the water in his pitcher was
frozen solid. To keep himself alive,
"Cal'' had pinned r1lg around him, and
tied towels md blankets about his legs
until he resembled case of elephantiasis.
His lunch consisted of dry bread, and
very little Of that. Two Of the party took
pity upon the poor fellow, and hearing
that the proprietor of The Herald was in
Paris, called and put the facts before
him. The next day Mr.. Bennett drove
around in his carriage to "Cal's" lodg-
ings and examined the pictures. He
priced two. "Cafn offered the pair for
fifty francs. The editor smiled and shiv-
cred and promised to send round for
them. An hour after, his secretary
called, took the two canvasses and handed
the paralyzed artist %, GOO francs. That
night the Latin Quarter was roseate, and
from that time on "Cal" took the position
he has ever since held so well.-The Jour-
ualist.

Here laborers get from $4.50 to $5 per

BARRIERS have a saint as we'll as other
people. In France their patron is st.
Louis, and the annual fete day is the 25th
of August. BARRIERS have always been
an important element in France, but fra
ternity in other countries may probably
also sport saint. ''Tondor" was the
name given to the original members Of
the profession in France-a name now re-
served to the dog barber. Then they were
called ''fraters,n and soon after became
the ber-chirurgeons. With Louis
XIV came the reign of periwigs, and a
corporation of perruquiers was formed.
The two lived peacefully together and had
their corporations and rules. The ap-
pearance of the modern coiffures made
them unite against the intruder who
thus broke in on their professional and
established rights which were recognized
by law. The coiffeurs were allowed to
continue, and in their glee pompously
designated themselves Academicians de
la mode ct de la coiffeur." The French
academy, jealous probably of the rival
academicians, objected to this designa-
ton, and the coiffeurs were obliged to be
content with plain professor before their

MYSTERIES or ENGLISH COFFEE.
General !Adulteration OF tho Cup which
Cheers but Not Inebriates.

General -Adulteration OF tho Cup which
Cheers but Not Inebriates.
Neither on English soil nor on English
ocean steamers have found it possible TO
get good cup OF coffee unless pur-
chased my own Java coffee and stood
over the coffee pot while it was being
brewed And even then had to watch
most carefully to preyentits being spoiled
by the addition of what Englishmen con-
slider great improyer OF foreign coffee
namely: pinch Of home or Belgium Bit
ter and black, hideous chicory.
very well remember the difficulty
had With kind landlady of an English
country inn in persuading her not to
fling bit of chicery into the pot of
coffee she was making for me out of pure
coffee I had brought with me-she, the
kind old heart, constantly asseverating
she should not charge me farthing for
it, and that it would nightly improve
my beverage. Less chicory (succory,
genus chicorium) is now grown in Eng
land than formerly; but an immense
amount of it is imported there from
Belgium, France and Germany, in which
countries this perennial plant is largely
used for food for men and cattle.
There was a time when q thousand
acres OF IL were unuer CulClVaLlOn IN b
single district between York and SIAM
ford, and those English farmers who were
given to it's cultivation claimed that it
was not exhausting to the soil, but rather
an improver Of 1t, when crops of wheat
were allowed to follow it.
An average yield of fresh roots is about
eight tons per acre. Late in the autumn
the roots are taken up, cleaned, and laid
away. The common price of chicory
roots in Engand is about co los per ton.
There is heavy excise duty upon chic
ory, and the English growers of it claim
that this duty is levied in an obnoxious
manner.
In all good English grocery stores pure
coffee can always be bought, as well as
coffee mixed with chicory. The sale in
England of coffee adulterated with any
mixture is visited with heavy penalties
unless the mixture is duly labeled.
have seen in English grocer shops the
packages duly marked "pure Coffee" and
s'coffee mixed" with certain per cent
of chicory. Most purchasers bought the
mixture. But worse than chicory is
adulterated chicory. And it is said that
most of the chicory in English shops is
adulterated with beans, carrots, pars-
nips, and beets, and colored with pig
ments, especially IN earth known as
Venetian red.-Boston Commercial Bull
