FRENCH RULES ON EATING,
he sweets are the ladies' cheese.

The sweets are the ladies' cheese
The dish Of which nobody has taken twice
forms q lesson TO the cook.
In any casa and whoever may sit next to
him, glutton should not be in love while be
is eating.
A quiet conscience is almost indispensable
to thorough enjoyment Of the meal. 1t is
the honest man who enjoys his dinner best
People who are fond of fish are generally
of very quiet disposition, on account of the
fish bones. Eat slowly and only little at
time. 1t is the way to eat long and pleas
antly.
Before eating of the hot dishes it is well to
let the steam from them rise slowly up to you.
You deprive yourself of delicate pleasure if
you attack dish without having first enjoyed
its perfume.
The side dishes don't deserve any notice,
but if, through diversity of taste, some one
should become enthusiastic about these trihes,
there is no reason why double share Of them
should not be quietly taken.
Up to the third course you should only talk
about what you are eating, what you have
eaten and what you will eat The mind
dwelling on these things does not risk flying
off to other subjects, thereby interfering with
the salutatory exercise of the jaws.
In order TO enjoy the meal there onght at
least to be two and at most twelve, persons.
If you are alone at table the dinner suffers
because you cannot talk of the enjoyment Of
it. If the company is too numerous there is
the risk of the meditations being nterr upted
which the viands ought to inspire.
A good dinner is an ideal dream VIII ch can
be realized down to the roast joint. The
salad is the clock which strikes the hour
when you must redescend to earth. After
this dish, you may gradually become sociable;
then, If possible, interesting and brilliant as
the meal itself has been, and of which your
conversation should be the intellectual refec-
ton, and the immediate moral result. After
you have dined well it is your duty to be
witty. st Louis Globe Democrat.

What "A Blind Man Accomplished.

The Berkshire County (Mass) Eagle gives
an interesting account Of the achievements
of DR.. Edward l.. Plunkett, who died at his
residence in New York city on the 10Th ult.
He was a native of Pittsdeld, his father, who
died many years since, having been a wealthy
and influential citizen. While at Lafayette
college, Easton, Pa, in 1879, the son became
blind. He was % years old. Instead of fall
ing back on the abundant means Of the fam
lily, he resolved to stud medicine. The un-
dertaking doubtless seemed to many to be
preposterous but he was admitted to the
College of Physicians and Surgeons in New
York, went through the course and took the
degree of NJ. ID.
His success was due to the assistance of his
devoted mother, lady Of superior intelH-
gence and attachments, who followed up the
sons attendance GA the lectures with reading
to him by day and by night the necessary
books. With determined purpose he memo
rized what he heard, and his delicate sense of
touch enabled him TO become familiar with
the various parts Of the body as they were
placed in his hands after dissection. He be-
came a private instructor of medical students
who were at tho same time going through
the college courses. In the last year no less
than thirty students who had been his pupils
in this collateral way were graduated from
the college.

When the sun sets the leaves fold up and the
tender twigs coil tightly, like a little pig 5

We were going to leave town with it as
soon as my daughter got well.
Why did you deny everything to the

Well, don't know anything about

thought it was none of his business if she
did have a child. If the child was de-
stroyed, it was not my intention nor
hers. We both thought It was in good
hands and would come back in few
days. 1t would do us no good to destroy
It, for everybody knew it had come, and
We are not that kind OF people, anyway.
Mrs. Griffith repeated the same story
over in dozen different ways, and in
sisted on their expecting the child back as
soon as the mother recovered. Then they
were all going away. In straight con-
tradiction to her story was that of Hurst.
He said that he could prove an alibi
for that night from 1880 o'clock until
daylight next morning.
Where were you?
From 80 until $3.50 or 9 'clock was
driving down to Joe Laudermilk's on
Twelfth street and back to the stables.
Then Billy Vincent drove me down to a
dance on Boaz street, from which re-
turned at 80, and was at 304 Jones
street the rest of the night. Yes,
drove q grey horse.
How do you account for what Mrs.
Griffith says?
It's scheme that they've put up on
me. Six or seven months ago 1 was
paying attention to the girl. So was
Billy Williams. He wanted to marry
her but his folks objected. He was not
twenty-One so he had to wait. They
put this on me now TO save him. 1 was
out there about week ago but didn't
see her, as she was with Williams then.
1 didn t know anything about a baby,
never thought of it then. The first 1
knew of it was when Jim Maddox ar
rested me. No, didn't see the ao-
count in the afternoon papers.
When asked if he was afraid of the
consequences he replied: "No, sirl L
can prove square up to the notch where I
was right up to daylight, except for a
few minutes l was driving to and from
Twelfth street. - That expression just
about measures the state of mind in
which he seems TO be. He was cool and
collected and perfectly willing to talk.

STRAIGHT CONTRADICTIONS.
What Mrs. Jane Griffith Says About Her
Daughters Child - Hurst Denies the
Whole Story Point Blank.

No new facts have developed in the
case of the dead child that was found on
Daggett avenue Friday morning, for
the simple reason that there are proba-
bly, none to be discovered. It is now only
necessary for judge and jury to pass
upon the case and release or convict Jim
Hurst and Mrs. Jane Griffith, the dead
child s father, according to its mothers
statement, and its grandmother.
The woman was seen in her cell yes
terday afternoon and does not look like
one who would be accessory to such q
crime as that with which she IS charged
She was perfectly free to talk and has
but one story to tell. She said in an
swsr TO an inquiry mat she gave the
baby to him and he said he would take it
TO the North Side where he had a good
place for 1t until my daughter got well.
Whom do you mean by chimp
Hurst. Jim Hurst, who works in the
Exchange stables. He took the baby away
and said he would come back on Friday
and tell us where it was Yesterday he
didn't come, but Billy Vincent come
down and told me of the Que found on
Daggett avenue.
Did you think then 1t was your daugh-
ter's?
No, and I cannot believe it yet. 1t
may have been. OF course ! don't
know. Hurst was only going to keep it
for few days until Katie got better. and
then We were going to leave town. She
wanted the child back that morning be-
fore Vincent came down, and she told
him to tell Hurst tc bring it back to her.
She told DR.. Parker that she was going
to get il back.
Didn't you know what Hurst was go
ing TO do with the child?
