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.
''Thcre are very few large dogs which
are OF any intrinsic value us companions
to their owners. Beyond the Newfound-
land, st. Bernard and the mastiff, 1
question if there is one. These three
types have been so thoroughly domesti-
Gated III the course of centuries that the
ferocious qualities have dwindled to al
most nothing, while the reason, intclli
gence and affection have been developed
to almost the same extent as those pos
scsscd by their owners.
"Thc new dogs that have come lately
into vogue are very different in character
and disposition. The Great Dane. MS n.
matter of fact, comes from the widest.
parts Of the 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
and equally wild men. a good-naturcd
or aiTectionate puppy is invariably de-
stroyed in those countries rs being worth
less, while the more savage, stronger and
more ferocious Il brute is the more it is
esteemed and valued by its rustic owners.
There are districts in Easter,,-@ a-4spe
where dogs OF this class are used to guard
cattle and sheep against wolves and rob-
beers, 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 aid beaux are beginning to
buy them at very fancy prices. After
they have bitten a few hundred people OF.
so, and mangled number OF children.
there will be the same reaction against
them that there was twelve years ago
against the Spitz. aud they will be killed
off. They deserve the fate, for the most
vindlctive Spitz is not as wicked and
cruel as the average Great Dame. "--NctO

A Curious Process and Strange Food

81 saw one day" says a Yokohama
JapaD correspondent, Sin small shop
here three boys vigorously beating some
thing in large wooden mortar. One of
the pcstlcs had its upper end inserted in
& hole in the ceiling, the other two only
followed the base of the first one rs It
moved around the surface of the mortar.
1t was the first time i ever saw three
pestles going in one mortar at once.
"lntcrestcd in the process, | found
they were beating the flesh OF 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
small piece of sugi wood fastened to one
side. 1t is then baked and sold as kam-
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, cx-
cept the form, this being square and thin,
SIX inches by one inch. These forms of
fish food arc cooked in various WAYS and
served with soy or other sauces, and are
often partially baked as breakfast hashed

Tho Xylon!.one is From China.

Most persons who have heard the de
!icious music Of the xylophone PLAYED
probably imagine that this particular
musical instrument is modern affair.
This is said TO he mistake There is n
maker Of musical instruments in Brook
lyn who has dclved considerably into the
history of such things, and he says that
the oiten-abuscd Chinese were the first to
think of the Nylophone.
'lf | am not mistaken" he said the
othc: day, "therc is in the collection of
the Smithsonian Institute at Washington
an ancient Chinese instrument that is
practically the same rs our modern Xlyo-
phone. The Chinese fang hieng' cor
responds with the instrument we now use.
1t WAS made oil sixteen slabs OF wood of
oblong shape and of equal length, but of
different thicknesses, laid on wooden
frame. AS long ago as 1000 b. c. the
Chinese had an instrument made of six
teen pieces of 'yu, a peculiar kind of
stone which polishes easily, is of a beau
tiiul color, and gives ont au extremely
sweet sound when struck. These pieces
were hung en- Il frame and toned to
Chinese intervals called 'lu," of which
there were twelve in the compass of an
octave. The instrument was called q
'ikang, and was played by striking the
stone with a wooden mallet. 1t was only
used in religious services, aud was CON
sidered sacred.
1.-The modern xylophonc 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. get SIS for
the instruments l make, but you can buy
them for as little as fifty cents.-Neto

Old Testament on n 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 strangest bit of
writing known. On piece of parch-
mcnt like paper, five feet wide and SIX
feet five inches high, are written all the
books of the Old Testament, forming the
design of n window in King Solomon's
temple. No lines are used. Written
words from the whole design. The writ
ing is very minute, but legiblc 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 moolfsf relig-
ious fervor. He was blind of<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 ia
numbered. The writing is not running ;
script, but each letter is separate; nor arc
the letters much, if any, larger than
thirty-second of an inch high. The work
is for sale, but a high price is set upon it,

ABOUT COOKING EGGS.

The albumen of an egg coagulatcs at
l60 degrees of heat, and when the boil
ing point, PIP degrees, is reached it be-
coined insoluble. At 100 degrees the
albumen whitens, but remains tender and
delicate and perfectly digestible. An
egg properly cooked, then, is one which
las not been subjected to too great heat
IA point by which very few cooks are
governed. The simplest method of cook
ing them is boiling, which is best done
by pouring 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 custard.

In the opinion of the New York ST.,

In the opinion of the New York Sun,
''suicide in this country is getting to be
q common nuisance. Here is man
whose rent falls due; he is unable to pay
1t, and commits suicide. No sane man
now commits suicide but through defect
Of imagination. Time was when suicide
was point ofhonor in certain cases, but
the world has shed those notions. 1t has
got now to point where sane suicide is
a growth Of pure barrenness of imagina
ton. 1t is case for the common
schools. There wants to be more poetry
In their curriculum; poetry simply as an
exercise of the imaginative faculty, to
train it, to develop its power of flight.
The greatest part of suicide is stupid. Its
prevalence derogates from national Dig

and other folks rather despised the
Frenchmen then for not having better
