Responsibilities of a French Cook.

In "reminiscences of an Attache" the
author tells an amusing story illustrat-
ing the passion that the French have for
good cooking. Pertinent to this point
q correspondent writes in an exchange
that it is difficult for us Americans to
realize how large part of the French
mans heart is given to the subject of
what he shall eat, or to appreciate the
terrible responsibilities resting on the
shoulders of French chief cook.
M. Bourbon, who had been engaged
to prepare the wedding breakfast on the
occasion Of the marriage of the daugh-
ter of the Viscountess lie Provost, was
found dead in the pantry of the castle
and in his pocket was found the follow
ing terse explanation of his suicide:
mo one will help me; die" He had
had dispute with his assistants, and
they deserted him in the last hour. His
professional honor could not live
through the failure of a wedding break
fast, so he cut his throat and died. The
only other case of this kind was the
suicide of the royal cook Vaiel in the
last century, under similar circum-
Stanpns

Concerning the Real MikadO.

So much is being said about the
mikado Of the stage that these points
that follow concerning the real mikado
may be of interest. A red revolution
brought the present mikado into power
in Japan, some seventeen years ago, at
which time he was boy of 16 years.
He found feudal system,
wherein 5000 men were main
tanned for war. The empire was a
military encampment. The young mi
kado changed all. He made the depend
ant the freeman and the feudal rulers
the subordinates. He made men free
holders in perpetual tenure of their
lands. He insured as great protection
to life and property as may be enjoyed.
His code of laws he modelled after those
of England and the United States, es-
tablishing a sufficient Judiciary. He
gathered about him broad, sound and
progressive counselors.
He rules an empire already having
500 miles of railroad, 5000 miles of
telegraph wire, unsurpassed postal
facilities, with postal savings bank
system worthy of imitation in this coun-
try. He has built navy and can re-
pair ships with the best. AS great, if
not greater, than what he has accom-
plished, is what he has proclaimed he
proposes to do, and that is that, in 1890
to convert his empire into constitu
tional empire, with parliament exer
cising the delegated authority of tn
peoDle.

soften.na Cast iron.
[CIicago 'rribune.l

An accident in a foundry at Mel.
bourne, Australia, has led to the dis
covery that the plunging of iron cast
ings into a mixture of molasses and
water softens the metal to such de-
gree that it can be punched, bored, or
tapped as easily as wrought iron. It is
not stated if the iron must be hot or
cold when treated to its bath of sweet
ened water, but we presume the point
can be settled without much trouble by
any one anxious to avail himself of the
discovery, which looks as if it will prove
TO be far from the least valuable of those
that have been made in iron manu-
facture within few years past.

British Projects for Track-Laying In India.
chambers Journal


chambers Journall
Of vast Importance to the British en-
pire again is the intention to expend
some 1000, 900 pounds sterling IN de-
veloping the railway system of India.
1t is known that very large proper
ton of the wheat actually produced in
India is wasted, because of the insuffi-
cheney of existing means of getting il
to market. 1t is also known, by tho
careful report of experts, that vast
tracts which are peculiarly adapted to
wheat cultivation are now lying useless,
and that, although the present
production of wheat in the empire
is between 200,00O,O00 and 100000
900 bushels annually, it could
be almost Immediately doubled Were
communication established. With al
adequate development of the railway
system, it is probable that India may
vie with America as the granary of the
world.
Then another thing necessary for the
development of India, and, through
India, for an extension of our trade and
influence. is the opening of direct COM
munication with western China and
Thibet. To this end, Mr.. A. r. Colqu
houn planned line of railway from
the coasts of British Burmah through
northern Siam and the Shan states to
the southwest frontier of China. The
chief difficulty heretofore has been the
opposition Of China, who has guarded
with jealousy her rights of suzerainty
over the rich and populous country OF
the grand llama.

Fanny Was Not at Home

Last Saturday night. She took the train
that afternoon for Columbus, Ohio, and
her husband went to the depot with her
to see her off Her husbands name is
John Adams; he is driller of oil wells
by occupation and has the reputation of
being quiet, peaceable sort of man.
He was sitting in the front room of his
little cottage, on Kittanning ST., at about
half-past nine last Saturday night, reading,
when he was startled by knock at the
door. He opened the door, when man,
a stranger to him, presented himself and
asked if Fanny" was at home That
made John mad, and he talked ugly to the
stranger and pushed him out of the house.
This in turn angered the stranger, who
probably did not know that Fanny had
husband, as he was seldom at home, and
when John followed him out to the road he
fought back and another man who was
with him took part, and it is said that
John was getting the worst of it, when he
took out his pocket-knife and proceeded to
carve the two strangers to the best of his
ability.
Then the twomen walked, away but they
had not gone far until one of them fell from
loss of blood, and was assisted by the other
to the West Penn House. A physician
was sent for and it was found that Adams
knife had penetrated his body about the
breast and stomach six times, and it was
thought that he was dying, but his condi-
ton improved with time, and he was taken
to his boarding house.
Adams sought friend and told him of
the trouble; the friend advised him to give
himself up. He did so and is now in jail
awaiting the results of his carving.
He broke the blade of his penknife dur
ing the fuss, and is said to have fretted
more about that than the trouble he was
in.
The wounded mans name is Jacob
Blechle He is lately from Germany and is
said to have a family there. He is wood
worker and has lately been working for
and boarding with Mr.. William Siebert.
His companion, George Hahn, was also
cut about the hands and ribs, but not dan
gerously.
