Chickens Sold by Piecemeal.

That economy which is SO great an ele-
ment in the French character is very
evident in the marketing of fowls. In
Paris half birds a be purchased, both
cooked and uncooked, but at Bordeaux
this division Of the fowl is carried out to
o much greater extent, and in the octag-
onal market of the beautiful city on the
Gironde can be EEL peculiar looking car
cases offered there for sale-carcasses
whose leading Characteristic seems to be
the absence of meat. Legs, wings,
breast, all are gone.
These limbs and portions are offered
for sale separately, and thus a Bordelaise
housekeeper able, as all French cooks
are, to make q fine dish with very little
meat, a buy a leg, or a wing, or q
breast, without any Of the other por-
tons; or, il the purse is not well lined,
then the carcass can be taken, from
which q splendid dish Of soup may be
made. Even the blood is sold. showing
that here at least the proyerb, Waste
not, want not" is understood and OBJ
served. How different, says an English
writer, to the w~astefulness in the kitchen
of q Yankee millionaire, of whom it Is
said the breasts alone Of the fowls are
cooked and sent to the table, the car
cases, including legs and wings, being
thrown on to the dunghill. The secret Of
French Gee in poultry culture comes
from the attention paid to the little things,
and from a practical belief in the impor-
lance of this branch of live stock as a
profitable portion of agricultural opera
tions.-Boston Herald.

W male. swordn.h and rhrasner.

Mr.. George Roy, officer of the watch
On board the Maggie c. Moore, is our
authority for the following remark
able incident which occurred about 200
miles north northwest of Cape Flattery.
He states that the attention of the crew
was simultaneously directed or attracted
20 the existence Of blood floating ON the
adjacent sea. Speculation was rife as TO
the immediate origin of so strange a spec
tacle, and a careful watch was kept to
ascertain it.
Eventually it was found that a whale
was blowing and spouting on the lee side
Of the schooner, where the blood was
first noticed, and a partial solution of the
phenomenon was gained when a sword
fish darted up close, and following that
terror Of the seas came the enemy OF
whaledom, the thrasher Tor killer, as the
fish is sometimes designated The
thrasher sprang from the water some
ten feet into the air, and with a pene-
trating crash alighted upon the whale
A fierce conflict ensued, and the re-
suit was that the whale appeared to be
exhausted from the attack the thrasher
made upon him. Recovering himself,
however, the whale, after several efforts,
succeeded in diving below and came up
on the starboard side Of the schooner.
The crew then took their whaling iron
and struck at the thrasher, but unfortu-
nately did not hit on a vital part. The
thrasher, following the whale, made
another savage attack on bis victim, and
hit for a second time within the sight of
the crew. The whale appeared at this
juncture to be in e~xtremities, and the
swordfish, realizing the position, made q
further attack at the common enemy and
stabbed the Jonah swallowing monster.
All was now over; the whales remain
ing strength was gone, and he was com.
PEELED TO succumb { his fate with the
grace Of a doubly assailed warrior of the
deep. After death he fioundered ''topsy
turvy," and the thrasher was observed
to be luxuriating on the choicest parts Of
the conquered dead. This is no mythical
story of the sea, but an incident of
peculiar interest TO those vho realize the
hostility existing between the thrasher
and the whale and the characteristics of
the swordhsh. The latter knows no
danger. He does not discern between
afoating huA and a bupyant whale. His
sword is bound to penetrate either at all
hazards and risks to himself, and in this
respect he Is similar to ONE misguid-
ed non-anphibious creatures.-Victoria

The Lcthe of Eorgetfulness.

A London specialist, m DR.. Edward
Pick, has come to this country TO tell
Americans how To cultivate and train
their memories. Up to a certain point,
DR.. Picks speciality implies a desirable
attribute. But life is so very full Of
things hat one is happier in forgetting
that a retentive memory is another name
for continual unhappiness. If the emf
nent Englishman can SO train the men,
DRY that its power to retain agreeable
recollections can be cultiyated-its prone
ness to recall all the disagreeable events
Of the past can be curbed, then he should
be encouraged, and many will there be
who will.rise and call him blessed. ''The

tailed in poetry, but the Lethe of forget

A pIsgracefuI Candidacy.

Perhaps there have been candidates. that
as lopenly and outrageously defed decency
as does that Of Gov. Hill of New York, but
they have been few and far between. Cam
didates with records as bad as his have
usually sought to gloss them over, they have
tried to assume an air at least of virtue
But the features in Hill's record which he
ought to be heartily ashamed of are the
chief capital on which he is making his can
vass. Two years ago there was submitted
to him for approval or disapproval an act
passed by the legislature of New York,
designed to restrict the sale of liquor in that
State. 1t had the general endorsement of the
sentiment of the best people of the State.
OF course it was opposed by the saloon in
'erest. Hill promptly vetoed it, He had not
then, however, become the brazen cham
pion OF the rumshop, which he now is, and
he protessed that his objections were to the
machinery of the bill. The end which it
sought to accomplish he professed to be in
sympathy with, and he gave the legislature
to understand If the bill should be modified
so as to remove some Objectionable details
which he specified he would approve it. The
next legislature passed bill framed in ac-
cordance with his suggestions. Then it ap-
peared that Hill's real objections had not
been to the details Of the bill as he had pro-
fessed, but to the end which the bill sought
to accomplish, namely, the restriction Of
rum-selling, for he promptly vetoed 1t, not
withstanding it was drawn in accord with
the suggestions Of his previous veto. The
mask then torn off Hill has not sought to
put on again, and he is now appearing in his
true character, as the friend of rumselling,
the enemy to ballot reform, promoter of
corrupt deeds and an arrant demagogue. His
nomination was opposed by the best ele-

ments in the Democratic party, but the rum
sellers and the denizens of the slums de-
handed it, and the betterIelement, which, In
the Democratic party of New York, is wo-
fully in the minority, had to give in and con-
sent, not only to his nomination, but to'his
nomination by reclamation. Since his nomi-
nation, Hill has made no concession what
ever to the sentiments of the decent men of
his'party He openly and.brazenly courts the
support of the saloons, and allows his friends
to proclaim publicly that he had much rather
have the rumshops than the churches on his
side. 1t remains to be seen how this open
catering to the lowest element of the commu-
nifty and equally open population Of all that
isldecent will turn out If Hill gets substan-
TALLY the full vote of his party it will be con-
elusive proof that in the eyes of the Democ-
racy of New York regular nomination is
sufficient conformation of demagoguery Of
the most brazen kind and of corruption most
notorious.

Gen. Benet's circular, issued at the instance

fact that the administration is running the

are to be filed with Democrats, and in case
the employees are women and children, as they
are to large extent in the arsenals, then the

Whoever instigated the publication of the
late Emperor Frederick's diary we may be
sure he was not friend of Bismarck. Up
to the appearance of this diary Bismarck
had, to large extent, enjoyed the credit OF
establishing German unity and building up
the great empire over which he virtually
reigns today. But this diary shows that the
credit belongs not to Bismarck but to the
late Emperor Frederick, and that Bismarck
was an obstacle rather than a help to the
work. Naturally the Chancellor is angry at
the publication and anxious to discredit it.
But it is reasonably certain that no German
newspaper would have published this diary
withoutits genuineness had been fully estab-
lished. OF course Bismarck can get little
revenge by prosecuting the publisher, but he
cannot undo the mischief the diary has done

Mr.. Edison's theory that the yellow fever
microbe advances from place to place by
crawling on the ground, appears to be an as
sumption made with very little in the way Of
experiment to support it. If it be true very
likely Gordon of gasoline might arrest the
progress Of yellow fever, and a shallow canal
along the gulf coast filed with that liquid
prove perfect protection to the United
States, provided everybody who crossed it was
first dipped into it. Before beginning the
canal perhaps it would be wise to experiment
ON a small scale, however. Mr.. Edison is a
good deal Of discoverer, but he is good
deal of dreamer also.

The statue of Longfellow. unveiled in
State street square on Saturday, is the fruit
of the efforts of the Longfellow Statue Assoc
citation which was organized in 1882, and
which has labored assiduously since to raise
the necessary funds to complete this me-
mortal to poet, whose works are read and
admired wherever the English language is
spoken. 1t was exceedingly fitting that this
memorial should be erected in the city of the
poets birth, where ne spent his boyhood's
years and which he has immortalized in
verse. The statue is tribute not only to
the poet, but also to the man whose pure and
noble life shines forth like beacon light to
guide the mariner on the stormy sea of life
to Ia Ehaven of peace and safety. The ex-
ercises at the unwilling were of simple but
impressive character. Mr.. Jackson's pre-
lude was graceful and dignifed. Mr.. Libby's
address Of presentation was fine effort and
met an appropriate response from Mayor
Chapman. Mrs. Cavazza's poem was an
eloquent and feeling tribute to the poet and
the man.

Women are allowed to vote for school
committee in Massachusetts,, and it looks
now as If at the ensuing election in Boston
good many would avail themselves Of the
privilege. Heretofore hundred or two has
been the sum total of the female vote, but
1900 women are registered already this
year and there are a good many
more coming. The secret of this
sudden interest in the ballot Is the
controversy between the Protestants
and Catholics of Boston over book recently
excluded from the public schools of that city
on the demand of the latter. A good many
Catholic women as well ss Protestants have
registered and there are charges that some
have registered who have no right to regis
ter and have got their names on the list by
false swearing. One argument in favor Of
woman suffrage has been that it would tend
to purify politics, but If the charge made
against the Boston women be true it looks
as If that argument was open to dispute.
