Recovering Lost Articles.

"As we'll look for needle in bundle
of hay" as for small article lost i'll tho
city of New York Of course every
well-conductcd railway or carrying
company has an Office in which articles
found in their vehicles are stored for
reclamation. But there are so many
carrying companies; the article may
have been left in cab or i'll some pub
lie place; and if the owner cannot re-
member the exact place, where is lie to
make inquiry for it? Would it not DO
well 10 have n special bureau to which
all lost articles could be sent, just IA
they have i'll Paris, for example? There
II you leave your purse on counter
your umbrella in an omnibus, or lose
any of the numberlcss small things u
lady loves to cumber herself with, You
know where to apply for it. Editor
Nedill of Chicago lost 1000 franc
bill III Paris few years ago. The
next day he clambcrcd to the bureau
for lost articles, in The third story OF
the Palace of Justice, and recovered
it. 1t had been found i'll the straw at
the bottom of II cab he had used.
The Paris bureau has Just been re-
organized. Articles found arc entered
at the central Office, with the name of
the finder. 10 claim them all that is
necessary is to properly identify them,
and they are handed over without
charge, IL gratuity for the finder usual
~ being left but this is entirely at the
option of the owner. If after fifteen
days tho article is not reclaimed, the
finder may claim it for himself. In
case he does not it is sent 80 the maya
zine for storage for three months, and
there. if it be clothing or something OF
perishablc nature, ii is sold. Other
wise it is kept for three years. An in
stance is cited in La Ropatdijque Fran
cdiSe where Russian lost TO- 600 francs
in n carriage. Eighteen months passed,
and happening to be i'll Paris again
and hearing for the first time of the
Bureau for Stolen Articles, he went
there and made inquiry. He was as
tonishcd to have it handed over to him,
and i'll his generosity he left half of tho
sum for the honest coachman who had
placed it there to his credit, so to speak
Now it does seem little unjust that
the articles found in public vehicles,
and left unclaimed, should be sold to
swell the receipts of the company own
ing them; and the knowledge that the
product Of his find will probably go
into the pocket of his "boss" is Ger
tainly no incentive to the honesty of
an employee. Not only is this Partisan
institution sclf-supporiing, but it does
offer an incentive to honesty, about
one-siXth of the total revenues being
awarded in prizes to the policemen,
coachmen and others who have nggre-
gated The most valuable finds during
the year. This. of course, in addition
10 the gratuiics.
The adoption of some such system in
Now York would be great public con.
venience, and in many eases be real
saving OF money, as well as of time and
trouble. -E,rch0nge.

An Encampment of Laps.

AT TromsOc, the sheltered capital of
northern Norway, our steamer remained
Just long enough to allow us 10 visit an in
tcres!ing camp Of Laps and their rein
deer i'll tine neighborhood The company
we visited had pitched their tents on the
side OF the mountain, and about dozen
or more seemed To live comfortably
enough in space we might portion oil
for so many hens and chickens. Both
men and women were remarkably short,
seldom more than four feet high, with
eyes wide apart and flat, cxprcssionlcss
faces.
They wore reindeer garments, with
leather boots up to the knee and bright
co!orcd hats in the form OF sou'westers on
their tangled locks. AT our request the
men called loudly to the Lap-in- Chief,
who was waiting for summons upon the
hills to bring down his herd of reindeer,
and very soon the cries of the dogs and
tie rafting of the horns of the deer we're
to be heard, rs the beautiful creatures
answered to the call of their master and
bounded down the hillsides toward u.s.
The patrinrchal Lap, after we had made
a few vain attempts at exchanging courtc-
sizes, significd he expected handsome
donation for his trouble, and on SAYING.
''good-bye," we noticed that the Nor
wegian sailors who accompanied us each
gave his coin in turn, it being considered
unlucky to part with the Lap without
Offering some small gift.-Iemple Bar.

A LESSON FOR LAGcARps.

You think of taking a Journey some day:
You have talked it over for years and
years;
Yet somehow or other you mako delay,
Until further and further away appears
The beautiful goal; and tell you now
To bind yourself by solemn VOW
To cross the Rubicon. Pluck up hearth
For you'll never get there unless you startl
There looms before you from day to day
A task that you dread to undertakes;
SO it hangs like cloud upon your way
Through which the sunshine can never
break.
And tell you now that the better plan
Is to do the work quick rs you can;
Over your fears victory win,
For you'll never get through if YOU don't
begin!
With the bravest and busiest keep abreast
Nor through love of Incidence lose your
place,
For iii each endcayor to do your best
You raise the hopes of the human race.
DC not content TO grovel below,
But rise to your duties with faith aelowl
Let your aims he high, and strive to excel;
For he who does better must first do we'll!
The heart that gives way to its doubts and
fears,
That idly dreams when there's work to do,
Will find itself, before many years,
Beggared and bankrupt through and
through.
There are Journeys TO take and tasks To DO
done,
From early morning till set of sun,
And triumphs to win, rs none can deny,
And you'll never succeed unless you try!
Josephine Pollard, in Ncv York Ledger.

Hcdgellogs rs Fruit Ga.herers.

Gathering fruit can scarcely be called
trapping, and yet there is stratagem
attributed to that walking bunch of
toothpicks" called the hedgehog which
may properly have a place in that cate
CORY. 1t seems that fruit is frequently
found in the hedgehog's sleeping apart
ment, and its presence there is explained
in this remarkable way. It's known that
hedgehogs often climb walls and run oil
upon low boughs, and, instead of scramb-
ling down in the same manner, they
boldly make the leap from the top to the
ground, sometimes ten OF twelve feet.
They coil into ball IN the air, strike upon
their armor Of spines, and bound away
unframed. In taking this jump they
have been seen to strike upon fallen fruit,
which, thus impaled upon their spines,
was carried away by them, and this has
given rise to the opinion that in some
such way they may have stored their
winter homes. Louis Globe Democrat.

Among the many omclcts made with
eggs, the most economical are those which
gain in bulk from the addition of some
ingredient cheaper than eggs; for in

of butter and flour, gradually stir in Il
cupful each OF milk and wafer, or use ii

bones, three eggs beaten for minute,
and high seasoning of salt and pepper;
stir the mixture over the fire until the
eggs are cooked to the desired degree.
and serve on toast. The delicacy of this
dish may be increased by separating the
yolks and whites and beating the latter
to IL still froth, stirring them in lastly.
With cold boiled rice a favoritc Southern
omclct can be made: Mix n cup of cold
boiled rice with three eggs, salt and

ART OF COOKING FISH.

Fish must be fresh and thoroughly
cooked. 1t must be washed, wrapped in
il sailed cloth and put IN cool place I'M
til wanted. Never put it in the ice chest
to impair the milk and butter. 1t should
he baked or boiled. Salmon is the only
fish that is not rendered tastcess by boil
ing, for the reason that it is richer than
all Others i'll oils and juices. All kinds
of fish are improved by the addition of
vinegar or lemon juice to the stuling, or
to the water in which they are boiled, or
they may be simply rubbed over with the
acid before boiling or baking. The acid
counteracts the excess of alkali always
found in fish. If they are to be broilcd
the broilcr must be rubbed with fat, to
prevent sticking, and the fish turned of
ten to prevent burning. If they are to
be baked they can dc lifted from the pan
without breaking, if n strip of cloth is
put under them, across the pan. The
cloth to be of cotton and to be rubbed
with fat to prevent sticking.
Sailed fish, like sailed meat, has lost
its nourishment, and is only scrviceabe
rs n relish. The varieties of fish balls,
croqucttes, and other similar prepare
tions, are of value only on account of the
vegetables, eggs, milk and butter which
they contain.
Shell fish, namely oysters and clans,
are most easily procured, and the most
hcalthful of this variety of food. If
oysters are to be cooked, they must first
be washed and drained. If the liquor,
that always accompanies oysters, is to be
used, it must be strained and cooked first,
and carefully SKINNED before the oysters
are added. When the edges of the oysters
begin to curl they are done. Both oysters
and CLANS are most nutritious when
slightly cooked. Detroit Free Press.
