Testing tho Bn of FARE.

] inferred from some casual remarks
dropped by NJ Frere, late head cook Of the
Aston house, that in many instances the
French name given 10 n dish really meant
very little, and that in most cases fancy
names were sprinkled throughout the menu
according to the chefs ideas OF the picturesque
rather than because there was a little more
salt in this dish or little less pepper in that.
At supper given by the French Cooks
society some years ago the menu was as long
as my arm and wholly unintellgible. There
were some curiosities, such as elephant steak,
camel roast, etc, the details OF which were
translated into English, but for the rest OF the
programme II was an evaporation. For the
purpose of testing the matter determined

THE CHRISTMAS ROSE.

A little way up one of the Rh@tian Alps,
beneath the shade OF an old black pine, grew
O Christmas rose* The summer had passed,
and the short days had come, when the wind
blows and the snow flies, and the hardy little
mountain rose had two buds. "Dear me-"
fretted the rose, II wish / could blossom
when other plants do There would be some
pleasure in displaying oneself for the dainty
blue gentian or the pretty eyebright, but
with no one to admire me, see no use in
blooming at all"
aHol ho" laughed the old pine, waving his
shaggy arms, "Hoi hol what little grum-
bier. The snow and l win admire you. You
ere named after the blessed Christ child, and
ought to be happy and contented. Push up
through the deepening snow, little friend,
and expand your buds into perfect blossoms;
we were all made for a wise purpose, and we
shall know what it is when the time comes
ifr-
Just then the north wind blew so hard the
old pine was quite out of breath, and for
some reason he never renewed the converse
ton.
@All the world is dead except the pine and
me-" murmured the rose, "and perhaps had
better follow his advice. II was made for
a wise purpose / shall not be forgotten" So
she took good care Of hsr beautiful buds, and
the day before Christmas the black pine saw
her blossoms, white and perfect, peering up
through the white snow.
Now, the two little children of Klotz. the
wood cutter, were nearly heartbroken, for
their mother was sick, and that morning the
kind neighbor who had watched by her side
through the night had said, "God pity this
home; I fear your mother viii die before
night" Their father sat by the fireplace,
specifies with grief, and answered them
neither by word nor look when they crept up
to him for comfort So at last they stole out
of the door, and, hand in hand, wandered a
short way up the mountain side, following
the forester's tracks till they came in sight OF
the old black pine.

That the Christ child comes at the midnight
To bless with bright favors the day.

The stars Of Bethlehem desert
Looked down on Christ happy throng.
Go We in howell and highway,
Guests to bring In 10 the feast;
Angels shall urawares greet ye
In those the world counteth as least.
Sound the sweet Christ loving anthem
Echoes viii bear IL ON high

BY Christi las of love in the sky.

Lol He coNneth in scarlet and purple
To gather worlds offering.

that they are very little nearer to the French

A Museum Managers Joke.


In one Of the museums of the city n great
many wax figures are disposed about the hall
and corridors in surprisingly natural and APP
parently unstudied attitudes, and IL Is ono OF
the principal amusements OF the place 70 note
the uncertainty and embarrassment OF strang.
ers in taking first views OF these figures. The
visitor turns a corner, comes face 10 face with
a dignitied looking gentleman, and at first
politely rcfrains from staring at him. Half
turning away the visitor glances furtvely
over his shoulder, catches the eye OF the dig
niHed party, and hastily averts his gaze. Then
he moves n few steps away, takes another
peep from around a corner 10 zee whether a
solemn old gentleman has noticed his some
what impertinent observation, and, finally
concluding that he has been unnecessarily
polite, marches boldly back and tries 10 stare
old waxworks out OF their countenance.
Taking advantage of this popularity, the
museum manager has put up practical joke
ON the public. Upon one OF the benches sits
a living young woman dressed In a checked
ulster, derby hat, and, OF course, such other
apparel as Is required by civilized society.
She holds a pocketbook In her hand and
leans her cheek upon II in n very natural way.
Her complexion is sallow, and she is motion
less. The visitor, who has been fooled several
times and is determined to display no more
shyness in the presence Of dummies, steps up
before the lady, surveys her critically for q
moment and then consults his catalogue. He
has difficulty in finding the subject, and when
he looks over the top OF the catalogue again
to make sure of the figure, the lady bows
politely and smiles sweetly at him. Then he
looks fiustered and foolish. and goes around
during the rest Of his visit In n scared, appre-
hensive way, scarce daring to take a good,
long survey even Of the tableau OF the last
supper for fear of putting Peter out OF coun.

So they hastened down the mountain to the
village church, where they found the good
pastor busy trimming the altar for the Christ
mas festival. He took the flowers and put
them, with some feathery moss, into tall
white vase. Then he knelt with the children
and prayed for their mothers life, and the
roses nodding on their stems smiled as though
the gift asked for were already granted.
When they returned home their father met
them at the door and exclaimed joyfully,

Judge Burke is no idle talker lie is

is director of half dozen great rail
road corporations, legal counsel for the
Vanderbilt interests, and an old friend
and neighbOr of the man of whom he
made the prediction. His competency
of knowledge to discuss Rockefellers
wealth is beyond question.
Judge Burke was asked for figures.

ness of II man accustomed to think in the

gan the work of consolidation. The

eral millions of the stock, told me that
while the stock is held at 200 this is "a
mere nominal price, rs there are no sales.
and that the organization is earning and
declaring dividends which make the
stock worth 300. For three years divi-
dend of 10 per cent has been annually

his outside investments in real estates

If not the richest man in the world, he
is at least already the richest man in
America. Neither the Astors with their
real estate investments, nor Jay Gould
with his great railroad possessions, nor
the richest of the Vanderbilt heirs, can
make any such showing as this. II all
accounts can be trusted there is not an.
