The Poetry of Eating.

That marvellous story-writer Guy de
Maupassant says: "a man is a gourmet
as ne is poet, or an artist, or simply
learned Taste is delicate organ, per-
fcctible and worthy OF respect, like the
eve and the ear. To be wanting in the
sense of taste is to be deprived of an ex-
quisite faculty, of the faculty of discern
ing the quality of ailments, just as one
may be deprived of the faculty of dis
corning the qualities of book or of a
work of art; it is TO be deprived of an es-
sential sense, of part of human su-
periority; Il is TO belong to one of the
innumerable classes of cripples, infirm
people and fools of which our race is COM
tosed; it is, in a word, to have a stuGd
mouth, just as we may have stupid
mind. Il man who does not distinguish
between langouste and lobster, be-
tween a herring THAT admirable fish
that carries with it all the sayors and
aromas of the seal and mackerel or a
whiting. is comparable only TO a man
who could confound Balzac with Eugene
Sue and symphony by Beethoven with
a military march composed by some
regimental band-master." = Harpe-s

MONEY IN CHINA.
A Country Where the Mexican Dollar Il
Not Below Par.

a Country Where the Mexican Dollar Il
Not Below Par.
The chief coin in circulation along
the coast of China is the Mexican dollar
and the copper cash. 1t takes from 1000
TO 500 cash to make a dollar and some
% the coins in use are SO poor that you
can break them in two between your
thumb and finger. They are of the size
of an old red cent, and have square hole
in the center, in order that they may be
strung on string. They are made in
different parts of China, and the Viceroy
of Canton is now building a mint with
modern American machinery, which will
turn them out by the million. In the
interior of China these cash and silver
and gold in the lump form the money.
The standard of weight for both is the
tael, which weighs about an ounce, and
the money is cast in the shape of q
lady's shoe. Ten taels of silver make
a lump of about the size of Chinese
lady's foot, and if you want to pay out
less than this amount you take your
knife or chisel and pound off as much
a. you want. 1t is the rudest way of
doing business, but the Chinese are
very suspicious of coins, and they like
the pure metal. Gold bricks about an
inch long and half an inch wide and of
the same thickness are also used, but
you have to watch these, as you do every
thing else in the shape of money in China
In South China you will find a chop dol
lar, out OF which uIJIe CHIPS OF sIIser
have been taken, or in which holes have
been bored and these holes filled with
lead. You will find coins under weight
and chunks of metal which are coun-
terfeit, and the result is that every
Chinese buSinesS-hoUSe has TO keep one
man whose business Is to detect counter
felt coin. This man is called the schrof,
and all the money of the establishment
passes through his hands. lie gives a
big bond, and he is responsible for all
the money he takes in. II he makes a
mistake it is his loss, not that of the
firm. You will find these schroffs con-
nected with our Legation abroad, and
they may be called the cashiers of the
East. They are always Cinnamon, and
the foreign banks in Asia have all their
figuring and their money calculations
made by Cinnamon. The Chinaman
does this with his little box of buttons
strung on wires: he never makes q mis-
take, and he is the great arithmetician
of tine Iorld.-F. q. Carpenter, in Ma
tional Tribune.

AT ThE DENTISTS.

My bosom was the universe,
My soul the surging sea-
Whose roaring pillows of content
Leaped heavenward with glee.
And far above their feathery foam,
Where stars with planets cope
To brighten their celestial dome,
Cleaned thousand orbs OF hope.
Ny heart swelled till il filled the space
Between the earth and sky,
Still one brief prayer could find no plac
Within its walls TO lie;
And so on through the ethereal CLINE
My anthem prayers did fee,
Resembling tween the walls of time
And OF eternity.
Then heaven WIS mine and mine the word
And mine the stars and sun;
And on through endless space were hurled
My planets, one by one.
The tempest shook his ruffied name
And charged down al my feet;
Grim death arranged his funeral train,
Wound in his funeral sheet.
All powers above and all below,
Save mine, then ceased to be,
And as i cleft with but one blow
The earth from sea TO sea-
The waters, from amazement could
Not pass the smallest ledge.
And petrified the pillows stood
Upon the oceans edge.
The lightning was harmless toy,
Too weak TO SINCE a hair;
And all the thunders could destroy
No strain Of music there
My strength, alas! how quickly was
1t won and lost. forsooth
The laughing gas gave out just as

Some OF the Reasons That Attract tho

some OF the Reasons Tnat Attract tho
Stronger Sex tn the GentIer.
The power of fascination inherent in
women may, moreover, be divided into
two kinds. All of us have seen the old
lady, generally white-haired. with kind
ly, pleasant features, on which time has
SGT no unfriendly mark, who still retains
ali her attractiveness. Note how the
boys and girls adore her; they will go to
her and confide their sorrows, their
hopes. their am.itions. even when they
would not breathe word to their
mothers. The kindly, loving interest
evinced in lads affairs by such one
has time and again first implanted the
impulses in his heart which eventually
leu him on to IN honorable career.
Qui ky, almost by stealth, the good
is done by such, and the good seed sown
which will ripen III after time into q
rich and abundant crop. On the other
hand, we have most of us seen, perhaps
in real life, certainly on the stage, the
70 mating adventures who, by her en-
thralling beaute de diable. enslaves
mems souls and leads them ton the
stage) to dare all for her sake. Such is
directly opposed to the sweet old lady
in her old-fashiOned chair. and these
two form the opposite poles between
which the women who fascinate vary.
Types differ, and any one you may Sc
lect las some position between these
two opposites. Take. for instance, a
pretty and may be witty woman who,
hardly of her own free will. makes
every man fall in love with her to a
greater or less degree. She may be in
nocent of all evil intention. but her po-
sition on the scale is not vastly removed
from that of the melo-dramatic sOrceress.
Or. again, take the instance of the pref
ty young matron who, while DEVOTED to
home, husband and children. yet has
several intimate friends of the male per-
suasion. But her influence is all for
good. Her fascination is exerted in a
worthy cause, and she has found out a
great truth-that there is no friendship
SD lasting, so true and sopleasant as one
between persons CT opposite sexes,
where true feeling of bonne camara-
derie exists and there is no pretense of
love-making. Such a woman, il she

READING CHARACTER.
How Applicants for Work Are Frequently
Judged by Employers.

1t is of common occurrence that ad
vertisements for help appear in the daily
papers directing applicants to address in
their own handwriting, and by the
character of such communications the
applicants are judged, and fairly, | dare
say, in most instances. The experienced
man of business. the astute lawyer, or
other professional, reads in these COM
munications, almost unerringly, the
talents, attainments and general char

cd to say more.
''What is it," the conductor asked,
! coming up curious to know.
Ned explained briefly, when the CON
ductor caught him by the arm.
Jump aboard, boy" he cried. "Put
her on, Billy" to the brakeman, and
before they were hardly aware of it
they were steaming back TO the valley
station.
A little quiet work, and three men ac-
companied Ned to the other side of the
mountain. The man was taken entirely
off his guard when a revolver was pre-
scented with command to throw up his
hands. Ned had the satisfaction OF
placing the handouts which he had in
corting him to the city before the sun
went down, fastened to his own wrist.
"You see / thought / would fix the
handouts so they couldn't run away"
Ned explained, slyly, as he delivered
him over to his uncle.
The latter was delighted at the deed,
and laughed heartily at Ned'S reminder
of his own last words TO him when he
left home on his errand.
But" said Ned, as his uncle ex.
pressed his pleasure and assured him
that he had made full reparation for the
trouble arising from his share in the es
cape-''but you know that. after all, the
credit of it belongs to CresSy. She did
it for me-"
'Yes, she did brave thing for you.
Ned" his uncle repeated for the hun
dreth time. as he came in one day with
a package. Now you can do some
thing for her"
And that was how il came about that
Ned one day went up tho road and
mountain path and laid a package in
Cressy's hands. after she had heard all
about how Ned had succeeded III recapo-
uring the horse-thief.
And il has settled me in uncle's eyes"
he ended the account. And now, CresS,
for what you did for me this is all can
do in return"
1t was two hundred dollars, the reward
offered for the capture of both horse and
thief-for the bay horse she had seen
in the ravine had turned out TO be the
missing chestnut, most cleverly dyed.
''For mew exclaimed Cressy.
''Yes, for what you did Tor me. You
did not think | could keep the reward"
Il had forgotten the reward, " said she,
with tremulous little laugh, IS she fin
gered the money.
We'll, hadn't. But. Cress, don't you
ever try such a thing as crossing that
bridge again, not even for Ned"
