IT may strike one like carrying GOALS
to Newcastle to establish cooking
school in Paris, but this is what has
been done recently by the principal
chefs, in order that their art may be
perpetuated. 1t is said that marked
decline has been noted in the French
cuisine recently. This is ascribed
partly to lack of interest among
wealthy people and partly to the hurry
of business life, which has seriously
affected the restaurants. The new
training school is intended especially
for French pupils, but foreigners will
be permitted to attend the lectures
and thus get some glimpses Of artistic
cooking.

PRONUNCIATION bees are now the
proper caper. They have been having
them at number of the summer
schools this season, and they have
made as much excitement as the old
fashioned spelling bee used. They
are conducted on substantially the
same principle as the spelling bee,
only the words are spelled out and the
contestants must pronounce them. It
is probably safe to say that there are
more words mispronounced than are
misspelled by intelligent people, and
the pronouncing bee ought to be opu-
lar in the cities next winter. Their
success would undoubtedly be pro-
nounced. - Boston Herald. II the

A Free Wrestling Match.

As nearly as the spectators could Judge
it was friendly wrestling bout between
the black bears. There were four of them
in a narrow cage in Central park The
smallest one was inclined to run things.
He was particularly aggressive toward q
bigger, blase looking bear, who seemed to
want to be by himself and reflect. When
the little one amused himself with biting
the others ear the big fellow thought it
was time to put an end to it. He brought
his paw around and knocked the little fell
low against the bars. They growled chal-
lenges back and forth like professionals
and then began to wrestle.
There was apparently q we'll understood
agreement that there should be no biting
nor striking. 1t was wrestling bout
without rules. The commotion attracted
many people. a man with little round
paunch and thin legs put his fiat crowned
hat on the side of his head, thrust out two
fingers and announced that he would ref
cree the match. He called time" and
''fouF' in a loud tone, and quoted the rules
to the bears so that a white capped nurse
nearly tainted with laughter The bears
were having no end of good time. They
rolled about in the cage and roared as loud
as Bowery actor in a meiodrama. Once
the big one Rugged the little one so hard
that his eyeballs seemed to start from his
head, but the little fellow broke away and
overturned his opponent. The spectators
shrieked with delight and applauded Wig
orously. A sparrow policeman came along,
swinging his club and wearing a heavy
frown. He stalked up to the cage and
stared duly and coldly at the wrestlers.
The bears SUNK back in their cages. The
crowd melted away. The sparrow police
man jerked in his chin. shrugged his
shoulders and stalked away.-New York
