There is another requisite for a first clan
marketer, and that is to be able 20 distin-
guish between tough and tender meats.
Now, there is nothing so deceiving as meat,
and too much care cannot be used in max.
ing selection. II Is the same with a roast
as with steak in making a selection. The
meat should be bright red. and the grain
of it should be fine
In buying steak Il Is the rule OF good
caterers 10 insist upon having il cut thick,
for nothing Is so unpalatable as n thin
beefsteak. Tough poultry is another oas
of the things a good housewife should
avoid, for there is nothing that win vex a
hungry man more than a tough chicken.
The best method Of judging Of a chicken ca
a turkey is 70 lift one OF the wings. II the
skin breaks easily under the wing IL Is a
pretty sure indication that the bird Is ten.

BARRIERS of Spain.

The BARRIERS business in Spain is pecul
lar, in that he is called upon to ply his
shears on donkeys as well as men. For it
is an important item in the care Of Span
ish donkeys that they should be sheared
as to the back, in order TO make smooth
er resting place for man or pannier. So
while the master held his animal. one OF
the BARRIERS piled some enormous clacking
shears and Uttered the ground with mouse
colored hair, leaving the beasts belly fur
covered below a fixed line, and for a small
additional price executing a raised pattern
of star points around the neck.
The tonsorial profession ia an indispen
sable one in a country where shaving the
whole face is generally practiced among
all the humber orders, not TO mention
tOreros and ecclesiastics. But the discom
fort to which the BARRIERS customers sub
NIT is astonishing. Instead Of being pam
pered, soothed, labored at with con1den-
tial respectfulness, and lulled into luxuri-
Gus harmony with himself, as happens IN
America man who courts the razor in
Spain has to sit upright in a stiff chair
and meekly hold under his chin brass
basin full of suds, and fitting his throat
by means Of a curved nick at one side.
One individual we saw seated by the
dust read at the gaze with a towel around
his shoulders and nothing in his hands TO
catch his own falling locks. He looked sub
missive and miserable, as If assisting at
his own degradation, while the barber
was magniied into tyrant exercising
sovereign pleasure.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

efDave BruBswick-A Brilliant Gather
ing of Representative Citizens.

From the Wellington Mail.

say good bye to friends and associates

pie of Kentucky. The reception was with
out question great social triumph and
from the large number of representative
citizens who attended, there can be no
doubt Of the high esteem in which Mr..
Brunswick is held by them. The absence
of Miss Ida Wertheimer, the fair lady who
is soon to become Mr.. Brunswick's wife,
was greatly regretted, for she is prime
favorite in society, not only at her own
home, Wichita, but in this city as well.
Music for the occasion was furnished by
Prof. Tiedeman's ever popular orchestra,
and not until o'clock did the sounds of
music die away and the dancers depart.
An elegant luncheon was served, and
nothing was left undone that would in
any manner add to the enjoyment of those
in attendance.
There is always something solemn in the
worn farewell, anu Inc iaCC ludO tue To
ception was really a goodbye to Mr..

city and the friends and acquaintance
formed during long social and business
career, was the only thing that in any way
iuterfered with the evenings enjoyment.

Iost Art. and sciences.

An old historian thus speaks Of the early
textile and other arts:
The textile and other arts which -four
ished in Egypt previous 20 the Jewish dis
pensstion and in which the Phsrsohs took
so lively an interest would undoubtedly
have reached even higher state q pertec-
ton than they did had they been allowed
10 continue under such favorable circum-
stances, bot after the subjugarion q the
nation By Cambysss, - years before our
Saviour. the arts and sciences, under for
eign yoke, disappeared. or rather ceased 20
be indigenous in Egypt. The Ptolemies
indeed, encouraged them, bot under Their
reigus the arts were chiefly controlled by
the Grecsans. The Egyptians had degsn-
Grated from the knowledge OF their an
cestors, whose hierogiyphics they them
selves 10 longer understood DRY Goods

their work has been performed

ties in adopting said system, we believe
will be fully demonstrated. In fact, we
believe our present system viii be suffi-
Gent for many years 10 come. and in this
connection we would recommend that the
citizens make speedy and prompt connec-
tious with he sewer wherever possible.

city engineer be given charge of the sewer.

the creation Of another department at this
time. as in the near future II will be neces-
