The Germans, who have always been eel

some curious culinary items In the middle
ages the goose was the grand dish among
them, but they also ate crows, storks, cranes,
herons, swans and bitterns-these last named
dishes being arranged in circle of honor
around the goose The geier or European
vulture, the dogfish, the dolphin, and even
the whale were eaten, while roast guinea
pig was considered very great delicacy.
All their foods were highly spiced, and sauces
endless in their variety, three or four kinds

The Horse Will Know BETTER Next Time.
1t was eight degrees below zero and the
frost was nipping hot. A horse belonging
to a city official was hitched to a post ON the
west side of City hall, and although he was
covered with Luffalo robe and blanket he
bumped himself together to keep warm, and
had look of disgust on his face.
Presently bootblack came along. At
some time in this boys life he had touched
his tongue to lamp post ON cold morning.
Seeing the horses nose within foot of the
iron post made him forget the cutting wind
and the cold flag stones. He was chewing
away on big hunk of molasses candy He
removed it from his mouth and held it to the
horses nose Out came the animals tongue
for a lick, and the boy then rubbed
the hunk over the top of the post and
skipped across the street into doorway.
He was hardly in the place when the horse
slipped six inches of his tongue out after
more sweetness. 1t hit the post and stuck
there For minute he thought there was
some mistake, but then came the realizing
sense that he had been played for a sucker
and caught on blunt hook. He set back
and pulled, lurched forward and squealed,
and then lifted his heels and made splinters

THE PROPOSED MONUMENT.
The open arch will cover statue of the
great actor in bronze, heroic size, in the
character of Virginiu,, elevated upon a
pedestal five feet high. In Difference to the
wishes of the family and the strongly ex-
pressed public opinion, it has been decided
to erect the monument in Philadelphia The
cost of the work will be about $21, ,001 1t
is felt by the committee having the matter
in charge that this should be borne alone by
the loving friends, of whom no one had
more as a last tribute to one of the most
genial of men. Few men had so many sim
cere admirers while alive; few men could be
heartier friends or more genial companions,
and few men had a smaller number OF
enemies than the late John Mccullough.
Therefore it is confidently expected that the
small sum necessary to erect a visible monu-
ment to the man whose genius will ever be
q tower of fame, monument such as no
sum of money can buy, will be promptly
forthcoming rs a loving tribute from the
host of friends who mourn his loss.

had his nose down to business, and
hadn't time to answer.
Good heavens!' exclaimed another
in a loud aside, pulling off his coat.
The official, still muffied in his over
coat, and shivering, went over again
and looked at the thermometer. A
clerk had in the meantime applied the
lighted end of cigar to the bulb, and
the mercury had jumped to 80.

Never Heard of Death.

We are told that in the mountain fast.
nesses of northern Georgia, where the
locomotive whistle has never been heard,
where the "worm of the still never
dieth," and the missionary has not
preached, that there are men and chill
dren who can not read, never heard OF
Christ, his mission or death, know moth
ing of Sunday schools, or the proper OBJ
servance of the Sabbath or what Christ
mas means. 1t is related that when a
mans 13-year-old daughter died up
there not long ago, the father bent over
the corpse with weeping eyes and LAGER
ated heart, and exclaimed: "She did not
know that there was such thing as
death" She had never seen any body
dead; she had never been taught she
had TO die, knew nothing of the shad-
owy land or eternity, heaven, or hell.
Yet thousands of dollars are annually
collected from the people and sent to
Christianize the ..heathen Chinee,"
while in the mountain scclusions the
rough and illiterate inhabitants scratch
the ground, shoot the deer, barb the
trout, make and drink their whisky, and
are oblivious to the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Ignorance is bliss" but there
is misdirection of funds and lack of
discernment in this matter quite appar-
ent. With the penetration of the rail-
road through that section and influx of
population, contact and intelligence will
dissipate this ignorance, as the rising
sun scatters the mist of the morning.
Progressive Christianity must take Geor-
gia whether China is reclaimed or not.
