The Dutch Mai11 Hoax

Some fifty years ago an article ap.
peared in the Leicester Herald, under
the title of 1.-THE Dutch Mail" with the
announcement that it had arrived too
late for translation and had been set
up and printed in the original.
A great deal of attention was attract
ed to the article, many Dutch scholars
announcing in print that il was not in
any dialect with which they were &C
quainted, until 1t was finally discover
ed to be hoax.
Sir Richard Phillips. the editor OF
the paper, tells this story of how it was
conceived and carried out:
Zone evening, before one of our pub
locations, my men overturned two or
three columns of the paper in type. We
had to get ready some way for the
coaches, which at in the morning
required 400 or 500 papers. After
every exertion we were short nearly a
column but there stood a tempting
column of 'pye' on the galleys. 1t sud-
denly struck me that this might be
thought dutch. Imade up the column,
overcame the scruples of the foreman
and so away the country edition went
with its pathological puzzle to worry
the honest agricultural readers heads.
There was plenty of time to set up a
column of plain English for the city
edition."
Sir Richard tells of one man whom
he met in Nottingham who for thirty
years preserved a copy of the Leices-
ter Herald, hoping that some day the
letter would be explained. London Wit
and Wisdom,

Frank File, Correspondent.

Franklin File is the name by which
the dark eyed man, suave of manner,
with broad white brow and long
black mustache, who dropped into the
Gilsey last night, is known to the news
paper men of the country. The outside
public knows him as "Clara Belle, u
"Gilsey, Oscar" and by the diverse
other non de plumes with which he
masks his personally. File is a typical
''all-round" American newspaper man,
active, keen, crisp, cynical, with a sa-
tanical humor and matchless "News'
style. I know only his outside work;
his bits of local color, his etchings OF
people, his photographs of the life and
character and circumstance of New
York He writes of Gotham as only a
Gothamite can. He knows the town
and its people and habits of thought
and ways of looking at things. To his
fellow craftsmen the statement that he
is an ornament of the Sun staff des-
cribes his work. His income is quoted
at $40, 900 and he twists every dollar OF
it out of the ends of his fingers.-New
York Graphic.

HE il such a tickle, inconstant fellow,
you will never be happy with him." said
Esther's friends when they learned OF her
engagement to a young man who bore the
reputation OF being a sad fiirt. Esther,
however, knew that her lover had good
qualities, and she was willing to take the
risk. In nine cases out OF ten it would
have proved a mistake; but Esther was an
uncommon girl, and to every on's surprise
Fred made model husband. How was
it2 Well. Esther, had cheerful. sunny
temper and great deal OF tact. Then she
enjoyed perfect health and was always SO
sweet. neat and wholesome that Fred found
his own home most pleasant, and his own
wife more agreeable, than any other being.
As the year passed and he saw other wo.
men OF Esther's age grow sickly, faded and
querulous, he realized more and more that
he had "a jewel OF a wife," Good health
was half the secret OF Esther's success. She
retained her vitality and good looks, be-
cause she warded off feminine weaknesses
and ailments by the use OF DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.

Elephants Foot in Africa.

Speaking of elephants foot takes us
naturally to the Kaffirs, where this
dish is the browning triumph of their
bill of fare. Night is the time gener-
ally selected by the Kaffir for the en-
joyment OF this prime luxury. Other
portions of the elephant are eaten
with great gusto, but the feet are es-
teemed the delicacies of the feast. A
hole is dug in the ground and fire
made on the bottom. 1t is allowed to
burn down to heap of Goals, which
are scraped out by the cooks. When
the oven has been freed of embers the
foot is rolled into it and covered with
twigs and green leaves. After this
the hot embers are replaced and a
roaring fire started over the heap. In
this manner the food is baked. and
when the fire has burned low the con-
tents of the oven are lifted out by sew
eral men and the feast opens. Travel
ers who have Toasted with the Kaffirs
on occasions of this kind have paid
glowing compliments to their cookery.
The natives are said to love elephant
foot next to the marrow taken from
the leg bones of the giraffe or Gland,
but the preparation of this food does
not afford the enjoyment which is as
ISOLATED with the dish we have de-.
scribed.
The Kaffirs are fond Of locusts also.
They eat them whole. just as more
civilized people devour shrimps.
They have too. certain fondness for
lions flesh. about the toughest dish
anyone can sit down to. The late
Gordon Cumming. who was familiar
with the secrets of the Kafir kitchen.
used to say, that "a very good idea of
the meat which is usually obtained in
Kaffirland may be gained by taking
the very worst part of the toughest
possible beef, multiplying the tough
est by ten and subtracting the gravy"

all these occasions low excursion rates will

VeneZuela's Future.

railroads and they are short extending
only few miles from the coast into
the interior, but others are projected

the republic will have communication

TN. old silver spooa.


How fresh in my mind are the days Of my
sickness,
When tossed me in pain, all fevered and
sore;
The burning, the nausea, the sinking and
weakness,
And even the old spoon that my medi-
cine bore
The old silver spoon, the family spoon,
The sick-chamber spoon that my medicine
bore.
How 10th were my fever-parched lips to re-
ceive it,
How nauseous the stuff that it bore to
my tongue,
And the pain at my inwards, oh, naught
could relieve it,
Though tears OF disgust from my eyeballs
it wrung.
The old silver spoon, the medicine spoon,
How awful the stuff that it left on my
tongue.
Such is the effect of nauseous, gripping
medicines which make the sick-room
memory OF horror. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
