Old Testament on a Single Sheet.

Up IN book dealers place in Broad
way, not far from Eighth street, curiosity
seekers and men who can afford to in
dulge their love for queer manuscripts,
can find, perhaps, the strangcst bit of
writing known. On a piece of parch-
ment like paper, five feet wide and SIX
feet five inches high, are written all the
books of the Old Testament, forming the
design of window in King Solomon's
temple. No lines are used. Written
words from the whole design. The writ
ing is very minute, but lcgible to the
naked eye. Ink of three colors was used,
but principally black ink. II is very
intricate piece Of work, marvellous in its
way, and must have taken considerable
time and patience.
The work was executed by one David
Davidson, apparently in mood pf rclig-
ious fervor. He was blind oS,an eye,
and his manner of writing was>to lie at
full length upon the floor, on his stomach,
with his eye Che was near sighted) very
close to the paper. He died some twenty
years ago. Each chapter and verse is
numbered. The writing is not running
script, but each letter is separate; nor arc
the letters much, if any, larger than a
thirty-second of an inch high. The work
is for sale, but high price is set upon it.

A Curious Process and Strange Food.

81 saw one day" says a Yokohama
Gapan) correspondent, Sin small shop
here three boys vigorously beating some
thing in large wooden mortar. One of
the pcstles had its upper end Inserted in
a hole in the ceiling, the other two only
followed the base of the first one as it
moved around the surface of the mortar.
1t was the first time / ever saw three
pestles going in one mortar at once.
''lntcrcsted in the process, | found
they were beating the flesh of II small
fish, termed janago in japanese, together
with that of some species of shark. This
paste, made up into rolls about eight
inches long by three inches in diameter, has
Il small piece of sugi wood fastened to one
side. 1t is then baked and sold as KAN
aboko. 1t is highly esteemed, and brings
about nine cents pound. A better
variety is made of shark flesh only.
"Another variety of fish paste, called
hamper, is made in similar manner, ex-
ccpt the form, this being square and thin,
SIX inches by one inch. These forms of
fish food are cooked in various ,yays and
served with soy or other sauces, and are
often partially baked as breakfast hashed

The Great Dunes.

81 am sorry to see the new craze In
this country for Great Danes and dogs of
that class" said Lieutenant Edward G.
Pell at the Glenham Hotel yesterday.
"There are very few large dogs which
are Of any intrinsic value us companions
to their owners. Beyond the Ncwfound-
land, St. Bernard Gnd the mastiir, I
question if there is one These three
types have been so thoroughly domcsti-
Gated III the course OF centuries that the
ferocious qualities have dwindied to al
most nothing, while the reason, intclli-
gcnce and affection have been developed
to almost the same extent us those pos
scssed by their owners.
"The new dogs that have come lately
into vogue are very different in character
and disposition. The Great Dane, lis o
matter Of fact, comes from the widest
parts Of tic Baltic provinces of Russia
and Sweden, and not from Denmark.
The boar hound and wolf dog of Prussia
and Austria, and the Siberian and Rus
sian bloodhounds have been grown, not to
be household pets, but to fight wild beasts
apd equally wild men. A good natured
or aifectionate puppy is invariably de-
stroyed in those countries rs being worth
less, while the more savage, stronger and
more ferOcious q brute is the more it is
esteemed and valued by its rustic owners
There are districts in Eastern Europe
where dogs of this class are use,5fo' IgsSSrd
cattle and sheep against wolves and rob-
bers, where it is as good as mans life
is worth TO come anywhere near them in
the absence of their masters. Many Of
them are very handsome, and all of them
are muscular and graceful. They appeal
to the eye, SO that it is no wonder Amer
lean bellies ard beaux arc beginning to
buy them at very fancy prices. After
they have bitten few hundred people or
so, and mangled number OF children,
there will be the same reaction against
them that there was twelve years ago

off. They deserve the fate, for the most

Most persons who have heard the de
licious music of the xylophone played
probably imagine that this particular
musical instrument is modern affair.
This IS said to be Il mistake. There is n
mnker of musical Instruments in Brook
Ign who has dclved considerably into the
history of such things, and he says that
the oitcn-abusel Chinese were the first to
think OF the Xylophonc.
III ! am not mistaken" he said the
otlcc day, "therc is III the collection of
the Smithsonian Institute ut Washington
an ancient Chinese instrument that is
practically the same as our modern Xlyo-
phone. The Chinese fang hicng' cor
responds with the instrument we now use.
1t was made of sixteen slabs of wood of
oblong shape and of equal length, but of
different thickncsses, laid on wooden
frame. AS long ago as 1000 3. c. the
Chinese had an instrument made of six
teen pieces of 'yu, Il peculiar kind of
stone which polishes easily, is OF beau
tifu! color, and gives out an extremely
sweet sound when struck. These pieces
were hung en- II frame and toned to
Chinese intervals called 'lu," of which
there were twelve in the compass of an
octave. The instrul ent was called a
ikang, and was played by striking the
stone with = wooden mallet. 1t was only
used in religious services, and was con-
sidcrcd sacred
1.-THE modern xylophone is now quite
common. Formerly they were to be
heard only in some of the theatres. Now
you find them everywhere, most of them
being OF cheap grade. I get SIS for
the instruments | make, but you can buy
them for as little rs fifty cents-Ne,o

ABOUT COOKING EGGS.

The alhumen of an egg coagulates at
160 degrees of heat, and when the boil
ing point, PIP degrees, is reached it be-
coined insoluble. At 100 degrees the
aibumen whitens, but remains tender and
delicate and perfectly digestible. An
egg properly cooked, then, is one which
has not been subjected TO too great heat
IA point by which very few cooks arc
governed. The simplest method of cook
ing them is boiling, which is best done
by pour;Dg boiling water into sauce
pan, then drawing to one side of the
range or stove that it may not quite boil,
and putting the egg in, cover and let
stand ten minutes. The heat will thus
thoroughly penetrate the entire egg and
make it thick and creamy like u custard.
