Chinese AHigators.
From the London News.

Two examples of the Chinese alligator
have just reached the Geological Gar
dens. They are the first that have been
ever exhibited here alive. The alligtor
is so distinctively an American animal
that the proof, so recently as 1879, of
the existence of species in China was
extremely interesting. Nevertheless
the Chinese classics contained numerous
references to the creature, and even
pictures, which could be easily recog-
nized as being meant for II crocodile of
some sort.
1t is to be hoped that the specimens
at the Zoo will bear out the notion OF
the extreme longevity of the reptile.
Its name is apparently used in certain
parts of China in the same sense as Me-
thuselah in this country. Marco Polo
wrote about this animal, and recon-
mended its gall rs an excellent remedy
for the bite of mad dog and for vari-
Gus other complaints; so that it seems
to have been the medieval equivalent
of some of our muchadvertised rene
dies of the present day. Curiously
enough, the beast is even now made
use of in Chinese medicine.

Two Interpretations.

A great deal has been said of late
about Marie Bashkirtseff, talented
and egotistical young Russian girl, who,
at her early death, was an artist of
recognized ability, but who is chiefly to
be remembered for her great love and
admiration of self Among her other
gifts, she had strong sense of humor,
and one absurd occurrence in her
mothers drawing-room is said to have
delighted her beyond measure.
One day man Of some pretension
was calling upon Madame Bashkirtsef,
and his hostess wondered within
herself whether the days bill of fare
would justify her inviting him.to dinner.
She called servant, and gave him q
whispered direction to find out what
the cook had for them. The man
departed on his errand, and the visitor
began telling All entertaining but rather
extravagant anecdote.
Just as he reached the most incredible
part, the butler threw open the door
and announced distinctly, "Mddame,
c'est atn canard" (Madame, it is q duck. J
The company burst into irrepressible
laughter, for the term "candrd" is
applied by the French to any wildly
improbable story.

Some English Methods With Hams AND
Bacon.
|. For every 100 pounds of pork take
eight pounds of salt. i've pounds OF
sugar, four ounces of saltpeter, and one
ounce of red pepper, and make pickle
strong enough to float an egg, and pour
it on the pork when cold. The hams
should be at the bottom, shout .ers next,
and the sides on top. This will pickle
it we'll if left in it for six weeks, when 1t
should be lifted, and every part where
the bones protrude upon the fieshy side
lightly covered with red pepper. Hang
up carefully i'll smoke-house, not too
close, so that the smoke can freely cir
culate and reach every part of each
piece.
2. Salt down the pork for about two
weeks, take up and resalt with one tea,
spoonful Of saltpeter to each ham, ana
three pounds Of brown sugar to each
hundred pounds; pack down for two
weeks more; take up and wash hams IN
warm water and put them IN clean
sacks of coarse white cloth which mas
been stepped in solution of lime; hang
and smoke for about three weeks, and
they can then be left hanging for the en-
tire season. No insects will modest them
if thus prepared. :,
3. After the hams are perfectly cold,
the animal heat being entirely out OF
them, put them down in salt for few
days, after which lift and drain off al
the bloody water. Make the following
pickle sufficient to cover them: Nine
pounds of salt, three ounces OF salt
peter, one ounce,-of saleratus, four
pounds of brown sugar, and six gallons
of water. After lying IN the pickle Tor
month, hang and smoke rs in No. l.
The famous Westphalia hams are
cured as follows: They are first well
rubbed with dry salt and left to drain
for twenty-four hours. Four quarts OF
salt, three pounds of brown sugar, one
pound OF saltpeter, four ounces OF sal
prunella, and four ounces of juniper
berries are bruised and well mixed to-
gether and boiled in six quarts of water.
The brine is then cooled and skinned:
The hams are taken from the salt and
wiped dry, and the cold pickle il poured
over them and we'll rubbed into the
meat There should be enough brine to
cover the meat The hams are turned
every second day for three weeks, after
which they are taken out, wiped dry,
and a mixture Of pepper, salt and bran
is thoroughly we'll rubbed into the meat.
They are then smoked little every
day for three months, or even until
completely dry, when they will keep
sound and improve in flavor for years.
Hams shrink i'll smoking about 10 per
cent. in weight, whilst picked or salted
gain about 10 per cent, SO say the

Queer Philosophy.

That emf nent political economist who
defined murder as ~ salutary check to
over-population,' was certainly an ad-
vanced theorist in his own way; and SO,
too, was the famous surgeon who spoke
of the battle of Waterloo as ~ Colossal
example ofunscientific dissection" But
both these admirable men have been
completely thrown in the shade by 3
humble professor of the same school,
who figured in an adventure that befell
no less person than Sir Walter Scott.
During one of the great novelist s
journeys through the north of England
he was attacked by slight indisposi-
ton while hating ut small village
near the Scottish border, and sent out
his servant in quest of a doctor. The
man soon returned, and ushered in II
stout elderly person, in whom Sir Wal
ter recognized, to his no small surprise,
Il former servant of his own.
"Why, john" cried he, is this really
your"
"Ay, it's me, Sir Walter" answered
the visitor, land Pm vera glad to see
We again. l haze gotten some o haze
(those) story books o yours yet, and
they're jist grand Whites (sometimes)
Gamma sleep, and then | iist take ane
o yon books o yours and read II Wee

"Well," said Scott, laughing good
humoredly at this rather doubtful COM
pliment, "I'm very glad that any book
of mine can do SO much good. But,
tell me, John, how came my man to
bring you here? | sent him out to fetch
me doctor"
"Weel," replied John with quiet dig
nifty, II myself am Just the doctor here"
Sir Walter was thunderstruck, as well
he might be, knowing as he did that
John was as ignorant of medicine as of
Chinese.
81 should have hardly thought that of
you turning doctor john" said he at
length. pray, what drugs do you
use ?''
81 haze just two O. them, Sir Walter

anum)"
But, my good John" cried Scott,
shuddering involuntarily at the idea of
such Il pharmiacopeia in such hands,
with drugs like those do you never
happen to-ahem Ito kill any one?"
"kill?" echoed John with vindic-
tive energy to which no words can do
justice. "kill the Enghshers? 1t will

Critics Not Always Perfect.
From the Boston Journa

1t is recorded of Sainte- Beuve, the
great French critic, that he especially
prided himself upon points of table
etiquette, and talked so much of his i'm
peccability in this respect that his
friends believed him an authority on
the subject. But Sainte-Beuve was
presently invited to the Tuileres to
dinner, and there the court critics, who
had heard of his reputation, averred
that he made no less than five impor-
tant mistakes of which no man of the
world should be guilty. The most
heinous of these offenses against the
usages of excellent society consisted in
thanking servant, which at the Impe-
rial table was as great gaucherie as it
would have been to pat the Emperor
on the back. Sainte-Beuve's reputation
for tiawless knowledge of the refine
ments of table discourse was dimin-
ished from that day, and his visit to
the Tuileries was ever sore topic with
him.

First-Class Passengers in England
From the,New York Sun.

~ find some errors prevalent here in
New York" an Englishman observed,
"about the cost of railway travelling in
England. 1t is erroneous, for example,
to say that the third-class carriages,
which carry passengers at the rate of a
penny mile, according to law, are lack
ing in any desirable comfort or con-
venience. The fact is that they are sat
isfactory in every way, and are kept in
excellent condition by careful servants
They are used by the vast majority of
our travellers and by the most respect
able people of all classes and both
sexes. You can see in them, in every
train, business men and fashionable Ia
dies, rs we'll as mechanics and others.
When l travelled with my family over
Great Britain this year we always took
third-class fare, and we never had rea-
son to regret it. The law requires that
every passenger should be provided
with seat, and both this law and the
penny-a-mile law are enforced. There
is saying in Europe that only Ameri-
cans and fools ride in the first-class car
riages."

A Model British Landlord.

Lord Tollemache, now over so years
of age and in bad health, has achieved a
unique fame in England. His Cheshire
estate, 5000 acres in extent, supports
practically one of the most prosperous
communities of agriculturists known to
the British kingdom. In the last sixty
years Lord Tollemache has evicted no.
body, had no vacant farms, and suffered
no loss through non-payInent Of rents.
All his tenants are prosperous and con-
tented, and they owe their exceptionally
fortunate lot to the wise administration
of their landlord. The estate descended
TO the present owner in a direct line
from ancestors who owned it when Hen
~ VIII was king.
