EXPENDITURES ON THE SEVERAL ROADS
Morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven [Conn.]) 1848-1894, 1888-08-28

Fffky Dollars for a FIrst.Class Spread
and Two Days Required TO Eat II.
wong Chin Foo in the Cosmopolitan Tor Au-
gust.l
There are eight thriving Chinese restau-
rants which can prepare Chinese dinner in
New York, almost with the same skill as at
the famous ''Dan quay Cha Yuen" Delmon-
icos's) of Shanghai or Canton. These places
are most thronged on Sunday, when the Chi
nese laundrymen of New York and neigh
boring cities come in for a general good
time
Unlike Americans, the Chinese do not
generally pay by the dishes ordered, but by
the tables or spreads, called by the Chinese
"Gzuh." A frst-class spread includes about
forty courses, and it takes two days to finish
the feast 1t costs fifty dallars A second
class spread, with twenty-eight courses, costs
forty dollars. A third-elass spread, with
eighteen courses, costs twenty-five dollars.
The cheapest spread contains eight courses
for eight dollars. This is the lowest price
for which man can order formal dinner
| in a first class Chinese restaurant. But then
| the spread is made for any number of peo-
pie within twelve.
l for himself and a friend or two he can get
ready made dishes of fish, chicken, duck,
pigs feet, rice, tea, etc., cheaper than in any
other restaurant, besides many dishes peou-
| liar to Chinatown. The prices run from five
to twenty-five cents. The foods are all
| chopped in small pieces, rendering knives
and forks unnecessary. The chinese table
implements are chop sticks of ivory or bone,
a tiny little teacup and porcelain spoon.
A staple dish for the Chinese gourmaud il
chow chop svey, mixture of chickens liv
ers and gizzards, fungi, bamboo buds, pigs
tripe and bean sprouts sewed with spices
The gravy of this is poured into the bowl Of
rice with some the prototype Of
Worcestershire sauce), making a delicious
seasoning to the favorite grain. The tea II
made by pouring hot water over the frest
Oolong in a cup and covering 1t with small
saucer to draw. Then pushing back the sau
Ger little, you pour off the fluid into
smaller cup and add more hot water to thu
grounds again. This may be repeated five
or six times, and the last cup will be nearly
/ as strong as the first. The Chinaman al
ways takes spirits with his meals, pouring
the rice whiskey into a tiny cup from pew
ter pot. But he always drinks moderately
and never apart from his meals. For thi
reason drunken Cinnamon are very rarely
seen. When party of Cinnamon sit around
| q table one dish of each kind of food il
served, and all pick from the same dish will
the chop sticks. When there are severa
courses the earlier dishes are never removed
| and by the time good dinner has beer

the Italians in Boston. From the best sta
tistics I am able to obtain there are here
eight or ten thousand. They have been
coming into your city quietly for many
years. They came poor, and you gave them
the poorest, most Incorporate and abandoned
part of the city. North street and its vi
cinity, a few years ago, was sink of ini-
guilty, but these Italians came in; they shut
up the cellars of infamy, intemperance and
prostitution, closed the dancing halls of vice
and cleansed the filthy houses of the streets.
They have obtained possession of these tene-
ments for their fam lilies, many have pur-
chasd them, and the whole region is re-
formed. AS citizens of Boston, you have to
thank the Italians for doing noble work in
your city. They are abstemious and temper
ate; they are willing to labor, and when they
earn money they know how to care for it.
They are gaining wealth, and have their
hundred thousands, If not millions. They
are intelligent. Many are already American
citizens, and many more are becoming such.
They are a most valuable element in your
midst.
DIR. Alice Mickey of England alleges that
France must be the happiest country in Eu.
rope. She says that while the surplus in
women in Great Britain and Germany
amounts to nearly three quarters of mil
lion and one million respectively, France in
1881 had surplus of only 90, 900 women,
and marriages are more prevalent in propor-
ton to the population in France than else
where. She also alleges that France has the
smallest proportion of Legitimate births.
From 1926 to 1867 the percentage of all ille-
Ultimate births was 7.2 in France, S.2 in
Prussia, 10 in Sweden, II in Austria and %
in Bavaria. France has the lowest birth rate
of all European countries, 23.8 to Thousand,
against 81 for GIeat Britain and SO for Ger
many. The average number of children in
French family ia now 80, against 4.6 in
England Wales, 5.25 in Scotland and ga in
Ireland. Germany has nearly to family.
France has greater proportion of grown-up
persons than any other nation in Europe,
the number of persons in each 10000 be-
tween the ages of Is and 60 being, in
France, 1878: in Holland, 1854; in Sweden,

A NEW COWRTNATTON.

The association of wholesale grocers in
New York apparently for the purpose of
regulating the price of sugar is interesting
and significant. What may grow out of such
association is shown by the performances of
the Wholesale Grocers' Guild of Canada,
which was recently investigated by aparlia-
mentary committee.
The Grocers' guild in Canada dealt not
alone with sugar. Tt made agreements with
manufacturers of starch, tobacco and baking
powder, under which it fixed the prices of
these goods. The committee reported that
the combination was obnoxious to the public
interest because it limited competition, en-
HANGED prices and tended to produce and
propagate the evils of monopoly. It said:
Certain dealers are refused admission into it's
ranks, others are admitted and afterwards ex-
PEELED, others again are placed under the ban
who, from conscientious scruples or in a
spirit of Independence, refuse to join it.
Merchants who have been buyers on equal
terms and with equal facilities with other
merchants suddenly find themselves under
the power of this new combination. Estab-
lishments which in some cases are the growth
of half century of toll and are rich in valu-
able experience and public confidence are
threatened with extinction. No reasonable
excuse, much less justification, exists for any
of these arbitrary acts and agreements.
The association of grocers in New York has
placed on its records declaration that 1t is
Opposed to combinations for the purpose of
extorting unreasonable profits from the pub
lic." But the New York Times pertinently
wants to know what will be the fate of any
wholesale grocer who shall prefer to remain
outside Of the association and to fix his own
prices9 Will he be able to buy sugar from
the Trust or the three outside rehners in Bos-
ton and Philadelphia And if he shall be
able to procure sugar will he not be forced to
pay price that viii prevent his selling at "a
profit in competition with members of the
association Probably he will.

When sitting in the grass we see
A little four-leaved clover.
IT'S luck fer thee and luck for me,
or Tuolr FOR opu Iavar

It is believed in the Tyrol that if anyone
has ga turn" for magic he can acquire the
art of working wonders easily enough If he
only searches for and finds the four-leaved
clover on st. Johns eve. In the Passierthal
the peasants believe that if traveller should
at this time fall asleep, lying on his back by
a certain brook, there will come flying
white dove bearing four-leaved clover,
which it let's fall on the sleeper's breast.
Should he awake before it fades and at once
put it into his mouth, he will acquire the
power of becoming invisible at will.
A stranger superstition related in VOLTS
s'Zeitscraft tur Deutsche Hydrologic is to
the effect that if, while priest is reading
the service, anyone can, unknown to him,
lay four leafed clover on his mass book, the
unfortunate clergyman will not be able to
utter word he will stand stock still and
bewildered until the person who has played
the trick pulls his robe. Then he can pro-
ceed When all is over the man who regains
his tfour leaf' will always have luck at all
kinds of gambling. If he has a tendency to
tenpins in America or to ninepins, if it be in
Germany, he makes ssten strike" or ale
neune every time that he rolls ball.
It would seem by this that though the tri-
folium is a religious symbol, the four-leaf
smaeks of darker influence. IF the bearer
or wearer of four-leafed clover should come
across witch work or any uncanny perfor-
nance, he can detect and spoil it all I'M
harmed.
If man loves woman (or vice versa) and
can obtain two four-leaved clovers, and in
duce her to eat one while he himself swal-
| lows the other, mutual love is sure to result
| Nay, according to very good gypsy authori-
| ty, even a trim pstrini kas or three leaved
clover will have this effect. Moreover it is
advisable on all occasions when you make q
| gift to anybody, no matter what it is, to
| conceal in it clover, since it will render the
gift doubly acceptable.
Also take a four or three-leaved clover,
and, making hollow in the end or top of
your alpenstock or cane, put the leaf there
| in, taking care not to injure 1t and close the
| opening carefully. Then, SO long as You
walk with it, you will be less weary than If
it were wanting and will enjoy luck in many
ways.

GER hat elm vierblattriges Kleeblatt gefun-
| denn-sfHe has found four-leaved clover. y

It is generally known that the three
leaved clover is an emblem of the Trinity,
the legend being that St. Patrick first used
it to illustrate how three separate objects,
such as its leaves, could yet form one, says
writer in the St. James' Gazette. But
according to J. B. Friedreich it was very
ancient symbol, expressing religion among
the ancient Germans as setting forth the
three grades of Druids, Bards and Neo-
phytes. And as one legend of myth or SUI
perstition begets many, SO there grew from
this number, which, however, all refer to
the clover with four leaves, the rarity of
which gave rise to the belief that ib would
bring good luck to the one who carried it.
