The Good Old DAYS.

In the good old times offorty and fifty
years ago in Illinois all one had to do
with drove of steers was to turn them
out in the spring as poor as could be,
and by the first of the following Octo-
Der every one of them would be rolling
fat, and $40 steer would buy eight
acres of good land. Now a $50 steer,
after eating fifty bushels of 5O-cent
corn and S10-a-ton hay, will only buy
one-half acre of poor land. Then to
raise hogs all one had to do was to turn
few sows and boar into the woods
in the spring, and every fall throw out
about one bushel of lucent corn to the
head to finish them up and one had a
fat drove of hogs, and every 81. so hog
would pay for two acres of land; and
there were but few men in Central H.
linois in the old times referred to who
would trade 50 pig for a section of
land, for they could all have ten Sec
tions apiece without even paying cent
tax on it, and often there would be a
large tract of land left. -Bloon,isq atom

MAUD AND |.

When Maud was eight, and was ten.
We daily went to school together;
We little thought of trouble then,
Nor stopped for trif1es or for weather.
Sometimes drew her on my sled;
To ford brook ran beside her;
Once in my arms, time quickly fed'
l only wish the stream UeTe lpt0ef!
/ used 10 help her read and spell,
And when she grew a few years bigger,
/ had q hundred things to tell
OF grammer and OF sums" to figure.
Now, since we both are out OF school,
And she is rosy-cheeked and twenty,
! can not skip the old-time rule;
Our interviews grow long and plenty.
In fact, met her twice one day,
And talked about our being older;
She smiled in just the sweetest way,
And stirred my heart and made me polder
There was an ugly stream to cross,
Which always does beset the lover;
I thought of love, its gain and loss,
And wondered how l should get over.
But fortune always helps the bold
In her blue eyes shone sunny weather;
We both rejoiced we were so old,
And now shall spend ourliVes together.

Words in Common Use.

Idleresare rs, 900 words in Webster's
Dill Iionary, and no living man knows
onese, 81 or s2ne-th iiS them. It is
astonisaing whsloG number of super
fiuous n X r1is are in our Ian
guage. sas-nakatpeare, who had the
richest vocabulary used by any English
man, emplfEed only 10000 words.
Milton could pick out from 5000, but
the average man, a graduate from one
of the great universities, rarely has a
vocabulary of more than 5000 to 1000
words. The ordinary person can get
along very comfortably with 500 words,
and in the rural districts knowledge
of 200 words is sufficient to carry a
man through life. This of course, re-
fers to the needs of conversation. If a
man wants to read newspapers and
well-written books, he must know at
least 5000 words Golden Daus.

THE BULL MOOSE.
How the Hunter Lures the Noble Game to
Death In Maine Forests.

The time to call the bull moose is
from the middle of September to the
middle of October and sometimes later.
It is the habit of the female at that
time of the year to seek open spaces on
the hills at shutdown and give voice to
mellow but far-sounding cry. This
is the signal to the male, and the call
is not often repeated before some
shambling bull is heard crashing
through the brush, his long split hoofs
rafting at every step, ON its way to
the redezvous. This peculiar cry the
hunters have learned to initiate
with greater or less degree of exact
ness, and made it an agent for Turing
their game into ambush. The call is
made by means of horn rolled out OF
birch bark, to mouth which perfectly
requires long and constant practice.
The hunter, when an adept at sound
ing the moose love-song, simply hides
himself at favorable spot in the will
derness, with his gun in readiness, and
blows his horn. AS he hears the bull
approaching, generally pausing in the
brush at intervals to listen for the call
and get his bearings, the caller needs
all his nerve and an unfailing lip. The
call must be tempered to the approach
of the bull, and one false note is never
lost on that wary lovers true
and cultivated ear. No cow
moose ever slurred note or
sung too fat or too sharp floating
her amatory invitation to her mate on
the crisp air of an autumn evening,
and the slightest variation either way
in the sound will send the expectant
brute flying like the wind away from
the treacherous trysting-plaee-disap-
pointed, perhaps, but not as much so as
the hunter whose false lip lost him his
coveted prize.
The female moose rarely calls after
dark, the exceptional instances being
on light moonlight nights. Conse-
quently hunters seldom try to lure
bull by calling after night has come
ON. If q bull can be induced to ans
wer moonlight call, however, the ex-
element of the sport is increased.
There is something decidedly weird
and uncanny in the sound of the start
ling call echoing among the hills. their
tops flooded in light and their sides
and bases wrapped in impenetrable
shadow, and the answering below of
the bull as it comes out from the very
depths of the shadow. AS the huge
animal approaches from the wilder
ness, and finally energies into the
moonlit open, the nerves even of the
most experienced hunter are strung at
the seyerest tension, while to the nov
ce the suspense is simply agoay,--M.

KING AMONG COOKS,
A Chef who Earns $4,000 a Year by Tast'
ing Cookery of Others.

a Cnet VINO Earns Sl0,OO Year by Tast'
ing Cookery of Others.
/ had more than once been told O.
the mysterious French chef in London
who earns more than the salary of an
Under Secretary of State by the exer-
else of his skill as faster, but | have
hitherto always remained somewhat
skeptical as to his existence. But now
Max O'Rell gives us such authoritative
details about this eminent Gordon bleu
that his presence in our midst can be
no longer doubted. Moreover, curious
readers, by going to the Cafe Royal
some day soon after noon, may see this
mysterious professor of gastronomy in
the flesh, for he is accustomed to take
his dejenner there about that time He
Is q tall, thin and gentlemanly individ-
ual, and not infrequently may be seen,
his meal concluded, leaving the Cafe
Royal in the same well appointed
brougham in which. later in the day,
he makes his professional rounds For
he is not the cook of any club or aris-
tocrat in particular; he is rather
what may be called a consulting
chef, and it is his daily task TO
visit the kitchens of the houses
he has on his engagement list.
These houses are those in which din
her party of Importance is to be given
that night. and it is the duty of the chef
when he arrives at the first on his list
to alight, proceed to make his way to
the kitchen, and there go through the
process of tasting all the made dishes
included in the menu, especially those
into the composition of which sauces
and other complicated connections en-.
ter.
It is then his business to suggest a
pinch more salt in this one, dash OF
sugar or garlic, as the case may be, in
that one; drop of tarragon or q
sprinkling of spice in the other one.
For two guineas. which is his nominal
fee, he in short puts the finishing and
often the most important touches to
West End dinner, and as during the
season he has often four or five such
engagements booked for one night, it
can be readily seen that he earns an
income ofupWard of $4,000 per annum
without difficulty. And he has also the
rare satisfaction of following a pro-
fession that can not fail to be, in the
mot literal sense of the word, ito his

EUROPE OUTDONE.
A Gotham Restaurant Superior to ANY
Thing Existing in Paris.

Thing Existing in Paris.
Tie ladies part of the new downtown
restaurant is the most bewilderlngly
elegar public eating place that New
| York has ever had The pale blue,
white and gold decorations are deli
cate and becoming background for
most styles of feminine beauty, and as
the glare of daylight can not penetrate
the room, the continuous mirrors aided
by the electric lights reflect woman
best capabilities in the way of fine-tex-
| turcd luminousness. At the bottom of
the little stairway that leads to the
cafe stands six-foot Englishman,
clothed in gorgeous livery, whose duty
it is to indicate by stately wave of the
hand the direction that a customer
needs to take to reach the elysium OF
gourmands at the top. Half way up
the stairs Il small boy in silver buttons
is encountered. This one collects UNI
brellas and sticks, giving large nickel
checks for them. Another example of
this boy opens the door upon the daZ-
zling Gining-room, and the guests are
then taken in hand by a splendid per-
sonage who asserts a certain proprie-
tary authority and locates people where
he wishes, though his manner of per-
forming the service conveys the i'm
preston that he has had nothing to do
with the selection of places. About
the dainty hall are clusters of walters
in plumb-colored swallow-tail coats,
studded with silver buttons, and wear
ing waist-coats of striped yellow
and black. They are punctilious and
proud fellows, but their attendance is
soothing and satisfactory. Perhaps the
most luxurious feature of the place is
the presence of several lady's maids in
spotless linen caps and aprons, who de-
scend noiselessly upon the guests and
assist in the removal of outer wraps.
On recent cold day, young woman
in sealskin jacket entered the place
without an escort. When she had
reached her seat she found herself con-
fronted by one of the spotless maids,
and she evidently did not quite COM
prehend the mission of the latter. She
stared at her and asked what she
wanted. The maid had her eye on the
sealskin jacket, and expressed herself
as being DESTROYS of taking it away
and putting it in the ice-chest or some
other safe place. But the young wo-
man appeared to feel that in such a
wealthy vicinity simple sealskin
jacket would not be considered worth
taking any especial care of, so she an
nounced her intention of remaining
within it. The maid withdrew to
where her companions were engaged
in a chat, and shook her head to ex-
press her despair at not being allowed
to exercise her functions. The young
woman in the sealskin ordered pistache
ice-cream and a cup of tea, but the
plum-colored man at her elbow had a
bad influence over her appetite, for
she only got short distance on the
cream and half way through her tea
when she called for her check and left
the place as though subdued and rout-
ed by a superabundance of grandeur.
