Uses of the Papaw Tree.

In the West Indies one of the char
acterstics of an intelligent cook is the
care with which he or she will see to it
that papaw tree is growing within q
short distance of the kitchen door. The
fruit of the papaw, If large and well
grown, is not to be despised as break
fast dish, and its rich golden flesh is to
many much more palatable than that
of the popular melon. But the at
Effectiveness of the p paw for the cool,
consists in its leaves, which possess the
remarkable property of rendering meat
tender. The toughest beefsteak or tho
most hopeless old rooster can be made
soft and comparatively juicy by being
wrapped for an hour or two in the
large, dark green papaw leaves. New

Chorus Girls. Requirements.

=
1T is not an easy task to get good
chorus girls" said an operate manager
yesterday. "Of course there are plenty
OF girls-such as they are-ambitious
to shine as lyric stars Something more
than ambition, however, is necessary.
One of the requisites is a pretty face,
another a comely figure, and another,
OF course, is musical ability. 1t is not
an easy job to train thirty or forty girls
who are unfamiliar with the coni,
opera stage. Four weeks are required
to drill them tolerably we'll, and then
they will need frequent rehearsing after
beginning their public performances.
A director must have Jobs proverbial
patience to teach a lot of jabberinc,
untamed chorus girls how to sing and
march in harmony.
1.-The salaries of chorus girls range
from ten to twenty dollars week, al
though fifteen dollars is about the av-
erage. The male members of chorus
get little more than girls. Some Of
the smaller road opera companies play
throughout the year, and they are
boons to large class of girls and young
men who would otherwise be idle dur
ing the summer. Summer opera snaps,
though, are becoming the proper thing.
Several companies are formed in
New York for ten or twelve weeks,
engagement every spring The salaries
OF the summer companies are consider
ably less than those in the regular sea-
son, however. New York Telegram.

NO LAUGHING MATTER.

A Dentist Who VIII Harness Hts Pstienta
Before Giving Them Cas-
DIR. Maurice b. Smith, II dentist, In
future will have an arrangement OF
straps attached to the operating chair
which will prevent patients who arc
more muscular than the doctor from
jumping up and attacking him while
recovering from the effects OF nitrous
oxide gas.
The doctor has had rather rough
experience with at least two OF his pa.
tients, who, before they had fully re-
covered from the effects of the gas,
made things decidedly unpleasant for
him. One of the patients, stalwart
man, measuring over six feet in height
and weighing about 200 pounds, gave
the doctor good trouncing 1t ap-
pears that the man had two teeth
drawn while under the influence of the
gas, and when semi-consoious he made
a sudden attack upon the doctor. The
latter grabbed the man about the body
and told him that the teeth were out
and to keep quiet. While in the act of
drawing away from the patient the
doctor was struck either on the nose or
behind the ear.
The patient then sprang out of the
chair and struck the doctor about the
face, knocking him senseless to the floor,
and began kicking him. A lady as
sistant stood by powerless. The den
dist's wife, who was in an adjoining
room, heard the noise, ran into the op-
Grating room and caught hold of the
patients coat and tried to drag him
away from her husband. The wife was
struck in the neck twice by the patient.
The latter, after coming to his senses,
commenced to apologize, and offered
to pay for all the damage done. DR..
Ransley, neighboring physician, was
summoned, and upon arriving at the
dentists he found that the latter's nose
was broken, both eyes discolored, and
he had several bruises on the head and
body.
DIR. Smith, in speaking of the affair,
said: 81 have just come from the har-
ness makers, where have arranged for
series of straps to be placed on the
chair SO that patient will be rem
dered powerless in case he becomes I'M
ruly while under the influence of the
gas. The patient that attacked me
was evidently dreaming about fighting,
and on account of seeing my face last
before taking the gas, and seeing me
only while semi-conscious, he thought
l was the aggressor and Immediately
began to pitch into me.
1.-The patient, when conscious, offered
to pay for all the damage he had done,
but as the damage amounted to break
ing my nose and giving me pair of
black eyes l could not appraise the
value About two weeks ago patient,
while under the influence of gas, i'm
agined he was in fight and made
dive for his back pocket. caught his
arms and held him while my lady
assistant extracted revolver from his
pocket. "-Philadelphia Ledger.

Especial Correspondence
YOKOHAMA. April 2O.-The presence of
Sir Edwin Arnold in the land of the mi
kado has given poetical tone to English
society. and has laid bare the fact that
any number of people hitherto unsus-
pected are possessed of the divine affla-
tus. 1t now appears that the ''incom-
parable Belknap, admiral and COM
mander of the Asiatic squadron, is a
very clever verse writer, and has an al
bum full of curious and pretty fancies.
The fact never came out until lately,
when Miss Arnold, young daughter of
the writer, asked number of friends to
write something in her autograph album
on the occasion of her birthday Among
those who complied was Admiral Bel
KNAPP. who inscribed the following:

legends and historical information. The
late General Vallejo, Of Lachryma
Months, Sonoma, may be taken as the
full and fair type of those who accepted
the new regime, and learned to love the
name of American. The present head
Of the Castro family, Don Juan B. Cas-
tro, of Monterey, accepted the situation
sufficiently to become prominent in bust
ness and politics in his native district.
But old "Don Manuel" like jefferson
Davis, maintained the justice Of his
"lost cause" to the very end.
The whole Castro family has made its
mark on Pacific coast history, and there
are indications that the younger men,
bers. who are we'll educated and have
some property and social standing, will
long maintain the prominence of the
name. General Manuel Castro was
familiar figure on the streets of San
Francisco for many years past. He had
long, costly and eventually futile litiga-
tions over valuable tracts of land to
which he held Mexican grants.
Leagues of rich Colorado river "bot-
tom" were once in his possession. In
many a celebration the general had been
one of the most striking figures of the
procession. He was to be found, often
for weeks at time, in certain old FASH
Toned fondas and wine shops in San
Francisco with other native Californians,
such as the Picos, Alvisos and Romeros,
and when he levied tribute on the
gringos (the Americans) he did so with
all the magnificence of an oriental po-
tentate. The general had land claims
which were still of sufficient Importance
to secure him small payment every
time deed was recorded; then, too, his
collections of old letters and Spanish
documents possessed much interest

degree responsible for the sad fortune
that had changed him from feudal
baron to broken down relic of q for

matters always seemed to be legiti-
mate and lawful tax rather than a per-

him tell about the teachers of the early
part of the century, when all the text
books in use in California were manu-

he was commissioner to make the

turned to Mexico, and waited In vain for
sufficient forces to enable HIM to re-
conquer California. He was made colonel
In the regular army, and general by bre-
vet, and was given command of lower
California in 1S49. In 1852 he returned
to the United States. He has been of
great value to such historians as Theo-
dore Fl. Hittell, who have known how to
slft his abundant "reminiscences and cor
respondence.
Ii Mexico had retained California,
General Castro, in all human probability,
would have become the master of one or
TWO hundred thousand acres of the richest
land in the province. He would have gov

ieudal magniicence, and his name would
nave ranked among the five or six lead
ing names of the landed aristocracy.

President Harrison has remained quietly at
his cottage at Cape May Point, N. j., during
the past week, and has transacted considerable
Government business. Cape May Point has
become the Mecca Of political pilgrims during
his soiourn there, and Washington has been
left n the lurch TO a considerable extent by
statesmen and politicians. The President takes
a daily plunge in the surf, and frequently can
be seen ont in a sailing boat fishing, and he is
enjoying bis outing in every other way that
his fluCy may dictate. On Saturday heavy
wind storm kept the Presidents and family in
doors all day until evening" when they all
went out and watched the full tidesurge against
the bluff atyhe foot Of Cape avenue. A fence
was about to be carried away by the waves,
when a number of bysfandcrs, including Presi-
dent Harrison. removed it to place Of safety.
