EATING AS A FINE ART.
Delicious Breakfast st a French Res.
 taurant-Aiding Digestion.

New York Cor. Hartford Courant.l
 The other day I had an occasion to be very far down town at the hour for luncheon, and dropped in with 8 friend at one of the regu- lar French restaurants, which are now so generally scattered throughout the city. Everything was exquisitely neat, and a for eign air, which is a pleasant change, pervaded everything. The French waiter is always courteous, and when the polite Jean had gone to fulfill my order (for I was to lunch la carte, both plans being served at these res taurants, and I was not at the time sufficient ly hungry for a lengthy course luncheon) 1 looked about and observed in the centeI of the room long table laid with covers for ten or twelve people.
 Presently the proprietor entered, took his place at the table. and the other seats were soon filled; then the breakfast, for breakfast it was slthough the hour was about Il o'clock in the forenoon, proceeded in regular courses Nothing was ordered, but the walters came and went, serving each course, and 1t any man didn't desire certain course, he sim ply waited, eating nothing during the time until the next course was served. It was just like the order of dances at a ball; if you omit to dance one on the programme you cannot dance the one beyond, but must sit still until the dance you do dance has come. I will say, however, that few of the gentlemen at the breakfast refused any or the courses. To have the proprietor sit at the head of his table is, of course, following out the original idea of table de'hote, although that feature of it, in sitting down with the host, is now rarely carried out. I watched the menu, first strawberries, nothing else, not even bread-plenty of jollity, and time for digestion That was cleared away, then stewed kidneys and bread and bottle of white wine. Next course shirred eggs in tiny tin pans, each wrapped, to hide the tin, with dainty napkin. Radishes were served with these, also bread.
 Another clearing away of everything, then the piece de resistance, sirloin beefsteak, an inch or more thick, and mushrooms, fried potatoes, green peas, just 8 taste, as it were, and an omelet with rum on fire, and a small cup of coffee. A party of Frenchmen you will saya Not at all, but native Amer icans-some stationers, iron and steel men, wholesale drug men, and from other occu- pations write of this breakfast to show how the more refined ways of eating are becoming common; how pleasant companion ships and plenty of time aid digestion, and more than all how French customs are per meating our country. I would have liked to have had at that table one of the good, old fashioned New England housekeepers, who for breakfast gave baked beans, fried nasty pudding, apple pie and coffee, sweet ened with molasses, and who expected it all to be eaten in fifteen minutes, so as to get at the business of the day. As if any bus mess of the day could be more important than ones health and refinement, for the bolting of food is the extreme of unrehne- ment.

here as the water rattlesnake, of dark brown color and perhaps eighteen inches in length. This snake is said by the blacks to be very poisonous. Five heads shot into view, five forked tongues darted out, and there was a falling back of the crowd. Slowly one of the black snakes raised himself out of the box and glided gracefully away on the ground.
 "Heah yo'l' spoke the charmer. "War yo goin'a Yo' done git back yer to dis chile"
 At his word the snake stopped, wheeled around, approached his captor and coiled up his leg and about his body. The other snakes excepting the smallest, came out of the box at the word and followed the first. All over his body they went, their eyes flashing, their tongues darting back and forth contin- uously twined about his neck, rested on his shoulders, hung about his arms, and but for seemed perfectly at home. One by one they would be put on the ground and start away only to stop at the word. Hung over the box they would maintain one position until told to move. They seemed under perfect control, and for nearly half an hour enter tained and mortified the rapidly growing cir cle of spectators. Then the Mississippian put away the big fellows and took out the water rattlesnake.
 The new snake was decidedly lively one, foot and half long, as said, and of good thickness. It was as wide awake as any of
 
 if anything. It did all that they did, then coiled on the fellows shoulder. He took it in his hands and deliberately crowded it into his mouth. It was capacious mouth. The lips closed and the ungai nly black apparent ly masticated the serpent, while the crowd stood awed by disgust and horror. Slowly his lips opened, as when one slowly exhales the smoke of an extra choice cigar. Quick as flash the snakes head shot out, it's tongue dartinp flame. it's eyes cleaning wickedly. 1t gradually pushed it's body into sight, slipped down on the blacks shoulder and coiled as if to strike; then, at the word, returned to the box. The effect of such an unnatural exhibition was startling in the extreme-revolting beyond description.
 'I solemnly swear," said an Indiana gentleman, as he turned away, eff I had gun I'd shoot that negro in a second"
 As to the secret of training the snakes and well-trained they were-the Mississippian was obstinately dumb.

Of the Chicago policemen hurt by the an- archists seven are dead, four are in critical condition and thirty y-eight are still suffering. It is now thought that the bomb may have been poisoned.

 Friday is thought by many people to be an unlucky day, but Governor Hill of New York has no reason to think so In his recent speech at Boston he said that in 1882, on a mated for governor and lieutenant governor of the State of New York. On Friday Gro- yer Cleveland was nominated for President of the United States, which led to Governor Hills promotion. Afterward at Saratoga, on Friday, Hill was nominated for governor, and on Friday, January last, he was inau- gurated.
 We again remind business men who may be asked to join the boyeotters of this paper that they cannot afford to commit the man. agement of their business to such a gang. It is the cheapest and best thing to do to hold entirely aloof from them. They will be sat- is6ed with nothing less than complete and slavish submission to their wicked demands, and the business man who obeys them once will have to obey them again and again. They can't hurt anybody who resists them, for they are few in number and have no real influence except in liquor saloons, where they are really powerful.
 Miss Brewer, the colored girl who gradu- ated from the Vincennes Qndiana) high school because the eight white girls wouldn't stgraduate with nigger," is quite famous. Her essay was on 'fThe education of colored youth," the hall was crowded, and when she finished little white girls passed among the audience and collected huge baskets of flow CTS, silk badge was sent her from the women's suffragist association at Kokomo, Ind, and Principal Taylor, who carried through the exercises as though the class were of the usual size, has received many congratulations from near and far.
 Great Britain has cheap iron ore, cheap coal, cheap labor and free trade, and yet the iron trade in that country is not in an es- pecially cheering condition. Says the Lon don Economist: There are little, if any, indi- cations of growing demand for iron, and the volume of trade is still unsatisfactory In all departments, and in every quarter oi the country, works are either entirely stopped or going on short time. Efforts are being made in some places to reduce wages; but owing to the slack trade, the actual weekly sums received by the men areeso small as te render it almost impossible for them to exis on less. This is the practical difficulty whiet

surrounds the question of a reduction of wages, which is felt to be absolutely necessa- ry if we are to hold our own with our conti
 mental competitors. The Board of Trade re- turns show slight increase when compared with last year, but when carefully analysed there is not much comfort to be derived from this. The increase is entirely due to larger exports to the United States, and these are almost exclusively due to special demand for Bessemer hematite pig iron. When our exports to America are deducted, for the sake of comparison, it will be seen that our general export trade is very far from being satisfactory.
 Professor w. O. Atwater of Wesleyan uni versity has careful review of the oleomar- garine question in Bradstreet's, in which he comes to the following conclusions: CD The common kinds of imitation butter, oleomar garine, butterine, etc., when properly made, agree very closely in chemical composition, digestibility and nutritiye value with butter from cows milk. (2) In fulfilling one of the most important functions of food, name ly, that of supplying the body with heat and muscular energy, they, with butter, excel in efficiency all, or nearIy all, our other com mon food materials. (9 Considering the low cost at which they can be produced, as we'll as their palatability and nutritive value, they form food product of very great economi- cal importance, and one which is calculated to greatly benefit large class of our popula- tion whose limited incomes make good dairy butter g luxury. (4) Imitation butter, like many other manufactured food materials, is liable to be rendered unwholesome by i'm proper materials and methods of manufac ture. It is also open to the especial objec- tion that it is largely sold as genuine butter. The interests of the public, therefore, demand that it should be subjected to competent off cial inspection, and that it should be sold for what it is, and not genuine butter.
