remarkable book is NJ. French Shell
don's translation of Salammbo OF Gustave
Flaubert, for copy of which we are in
debted to the American News Company,
New York, agents of Saxon & Co., the
publishers. Handsome muslin binding,
42l pages. The scene OF the novel is
Carthage, while that city is being besieged
by the discontinued Mercenaries. Each
chapter not only sustains the interest of
the preceding, but forms separately a
grand picture whose wealth of color and
minuteness of detail cannot be grasped at
a single thought. Its enhancing descrip-
tons, and ravishing delineations mark
.Sdidmnabo as in the very forefront Of the
most remarkable of historical romances.

The United States Supreme Court
has rendered an important decision
in an extradition case, the question
being, whether, under the extradition
treaty in force between the United
States and Great Britain, g. person
extradited for one offense can be
tried for another. The Supreme
Court holds in an opinion by Justice
Miller, that a person who has been
brought within the Jurisdiction of the
court by virtue OF proceedings under
an extradition treaty can only be
tried for one OF the offenses described
in the treaty, and for the offense with
which he is charged in the proceedings
for his extradition, until reasonable
time and opportunity have been given
him after his release or trial under
such charge to return to the country
from which he had been forcedly taken
under these proceedings.

OF the International postal union,
there is no responsibility anywhere,
and the owners OF the stolen valuables
will sustain the entire loss.

There was a sensational scene in Judge,

the trial OF Paul Grottkan and Albert,

consumed in argument. Judge lSoan had

pointed to several marked articles in the

Sloan for q topic. and containing the most
scurrilous abuse OF him. Tho prose arti.

the jury AS bought up and the witnesses

the district attorney created a great sensar

that thorough investigation would be

The Value of Foods.

1t has come to this, that the simplest
articles of diet are the safest, and that
is, in my opinion. another argument in
favor of plain living. Yes, the SIM
plest are the safest, and, let me add,
the best are the cheapest. The butch
er. for example, or the egg merchant
can not adulterate his wares. but he
may have several qualities; and there is
a stage at which all animal foods ar
rive. when kept in shops, which rem
ders them to large extent poisonous,
and this is as bad if not worse than
1dulteration.
We often hear it said that shop eggs,
as they are called, are good enough for
frying, with bacon for example. This
is positive mistake; an egg that has
even a suspicion of staleness about it
is deleterious to health, not to say dam
gerous, no matter whether it be fried
or boilep. And the same may be said
of flesh meats of all kinds and will
not except hare or venison. am
quite prepared to have this little SEN
tence pooh poohcd by the robust and
healthy. l only add that adhere to
it; that have the courage of my con-
victions, and furthermore. that have
invalids and dyspeptics, and those with
delicate digestions, in my thoughts as
I write.
grant you, my healthful athlete,
who can tramp over the moors with
gun and bag from morning dawn till
dewey eve and never feel tired. that
the eating of long-kept game may not
seem to injure you, but the bare fact
that piquant sauces and stimu.ants are
needed to aid its digestion IS exceed
ingly suspicious. There are two ami
mails in particular that like their food
high and tender; one is the crocodile,
the other our friend the dog Both
have wonderfully strong digestive
powers; little inferior, in point Of fact,
to that Of the ostrich, about which bird
so many fanciful stories have been
written and told.
1t may be said, without much fear of
contradiction, that any kind of food or
any mixed diet or meal which requires
the aid of stimulant. either of the ma
ture of cond ment or wines, is not
salutarv. Such diet as this is a tax
upon the whole system. and causes
heat and discomfort, and feverish
state of the blood, which can only end
in debit: of the nervous system and
more or less of prostrat;on.
But those who would obtain the
greatest amount of health and comfort
from the food they eat must be most
careful in its selection. Leaving
idiosyncrasy out of count for the pres
ent. although everyone ought to know
what agrees with him and what does
not. there are many things connected
with the value and digcstbilty of food
obtained from various sources that l

and increase the demand by an un-
restricted supply. Florida dealers
who ship from the interior to New
