A Few Gastronomical Items.

Senator Joe Brown, of Georgia, says the
sweetest thing on earth to him is ''pud-
died duck and sweet potatoes" and an
old waiter at Washington says that John
c. Calhoun dearly loved sweet potatoes
and opossum. He would come into a
restaurant and say: 81 want you to get
me nice fat oppossum. You must cook
it the day after it is killed; parboil it first
and then put it into hot oven with
boxed sweet potatoes around it, and cook
it slowly until it is brown. If you can
get coon make some coon gravy and
pour it over the 'possum and flavor with
salt, pepper and sage.
Calhoun often hunted 'possums himself
He liked hot corn bread and biscuits, and
the only part of a chicken he would eat
was the breast. Andy Johnson's favorite
bread was the old fashioned corn dodger,
and Zach. Taylor, upon sitting down to
an elaborate dinner and looking with an
annoyed expression at the bin of fare,
was asked if there was anything more
that he wanted. He replied. as he scan
ned the pate de fol gras and the other
French dainties:
''This is all very well, but would
really prefer some fitch and eggs" Tay-
lor was very fond of iced milk, and it is
thought that the lunch Of cherries which
he washed down with iced milk on the
day of the laying Of TIE corner stone of
the Washington monument had great
deal to do with helping him into his coffin.

Slaughter Houses of Paris.

Close by the market of La Villette are
the slaughter houses where the oxen are
killed by blow from the merlin anZlais,
a sort of sledge hammer, one extremity
of which is rounded into the form of a
punch. The slaughter man strikes the
OK in the middle of the forehead and
punches a hole which stuns the animal,
and through this hole he plunges a cane
into the brain and the animal dies in
stantly. The OK is only bled after it is
dead. The Jewish butchers, on the other
hand, who have q special organization
depending on the consistory of Paris,
ter house the Jewish butchery is directed
by a controller, who has u6der his Or
ders schohtim or sacrifcers. There arc
generally five schohtim. When butcher
wishes to have an OK killed for Jewish
customers he applies 20 the controller,
who sends him schohet to kill the beast
according to the Mosaic law. The OF
has his four feet bound with q cord,
which is attached to windlass and
frightened until the animal falls on its
side helpless. A helper pulls back the
head of the OK, and the schohet, recit-
ing mentally prayer, advances and cuts
its throat at one stroke, and the animal
is left to bleed to death and die In
agony so terrible that il melts the hearts
even Of the slaughter men, who often
give the OK blow with the hammer 70
put an end to his sufferings in spite Of
the Mosaic code.-Paris Cor. New York

Nationality in Boards.

An observsnt friend who had been ex-
aiming collection of faces representing
a large number of the public men in the
United States. made the following general
conclusions in regard to national types in
the cutting of the beard, which contain
more than q grain of truth. The simple
mustache, with the rest Of the face clean
shaver, is the prevailing American type, y
he said. THE old time Yankee chin
whisker, like that of the traditional Uncle
Sam, is no longer the national cut. In
the same way the old French type OF the
imperial, OF heavy mustache and long
Goatee, has given way in France to the
present type of close cut full beard
trimmed TO double points on the chin
The German and Russian national types
are heavy iull boards parted at the middle
Of the chin. The English type is small,
short cropped mustache, with small
square side growths. The general south
European type of Spain or Italy Is either
an entirely clean shaven face or else a
very small naustache and goatee crowded
close about the mouih.-Boston Adver-
Gser.

The Art of Modern Cooking.

The social science associations Of the
country have ably discussed a large num-
Der of subjects involving the welfare of
the human race. But, so far as we are
aware, no one of them has made an earn
est effort to discover the cause of the back
wardness with which the useful, the in
dispensable art of cooking advances. The
man that travels much is painfully aware
OF the existence of such bacRwardness.
True, in our large cities there are enough
good cooks, cooks that raise their vocation
to the dignity of profession. But these
are the exceptions. The fact remains that
when one gets off the great main line he
discovers that as q rule the cook Of the
period is not contributor to the progress
Of the age, but rather to dyspepsia.
Why should this be so? So much cook
ing has been done in all parts OF the
world, including the Cannibal Islands,
from time immemorial that it does seem
is if all its secrets ought to be in the pos
session Of all its votaries in this well adj
vanced stage of the Nineteenth century.
And yet it was only the other day that
the editor of a leading New England news
paper rose with sigh and remarked that
great popular want of that venerable
section Of the Union was more general
diffusion of country inns at which one
could get truly square meal of
Victuals." And what is true of New Eng
land is measurably true of the middle
states, is true with vengeance of the
south and of the hog and hominy occi-
dent. The country inn at which truly
square meal is served would seem to be
the exception. Inns abound at which the
bread is as heavy as an amateur epic, the
coffee as difficult to settle as Dick Swivel
ler's debts, the steak-fried. AS for the
cooking in the back country of Canada
well, the United States is at peace with
the Dominion, and we have no desire to
say anything that is calculated to disturb
the existing friendly relations.-New
York Tribune
