AS IF WRIT IN WATER.
Steamer Friendships and How

1 YOUNG MANS STORY.
She Was Friendly Enough With Him Aboard
Ship, bur on Land She Gave Him
the "Cold Shake"

Among the steerage passengers on
steamer which arrived here recently was
young man, apparently from q TO 80 years
old, who had plainly enough seen better
days.
As he leaned over the side of the steamer,
about the moment the gangplank was being
pushed aboard, he peered intently along the
line of openings In the shed. as II hoping
yet fearing that somebody would recognize
him.
There was just enough leisure after the
tide of wealth. fame and fashion, which
came first class, had made its exit from the
customs corral, for CALL reporter to be-
speak an interview with the young man.
He proved reticeDt at first, but thawed
out after an expressman had removed the
valise which seemed to constitute his sole
worldly possessions and cares.
"Thls is not the first time / have been in
San Francisco" he said to THE CALL re-
porter. 'If you have been here longer than
four years and have ever boarded Panama

Why MR.. MEL RESIGNED.
English Priests Resented His
Utterances.
The Pac fic Churchman'S Editor Was Also
Rather Too Facstisus TO Suit Some of
the Subscribers.

The resignation Of the Rev. c L. Mel
from the management and editorship of the
Pacific Churchman, the organ Of the Epis-
copal church in the diocese of California,
has been the subject of some quiet discus
sion among the clergy and laity of that
ultraconservative body.
The paper under Mr.. Miel's management
was unique among religious periodicals, in
that it often projected bright and witty
sayings into the dry theological discussions
which are supposed to be inseparable from
a spiritual organ.
Even though these facetious brightlings
never approached irreyerence. some of the
more straight laced were convinced that
such an innovation was unwarranted, and
these withdrew their subscriptions aud Wig
orously demonstrated 10 the Bishop.
Mr. Mel also provoked considerable OPP
position for his outspokeD methods in ref
erepce to a large body Of English priests
who offciate in southern parishes. yet de-
cline to become citizens of this country.
The Pacific ChuTchman was 0utspcken in
its belief that these alien clergy should
drop their allegiance 10 foreign potentate
and come out fatfooted as American citi-
zens.
This element was sufficiently strong to
force Mr.. Miel's resignation. who. it is
averred, has enough TO do In his two pros
porous parishes without editing a church
paper.
At the request of the assistant Bishop,
Rev Hobart Fleetwood has assumed Mr..

In THE CITY MARKETS.
What an Fastener Thinks of

An Epieure Tells How Spinach, Lima or
Broad Beans and Turnips Should
Be Cooked.

Yesterday was Admission day and In ac-
cordance with the time-honored custom the
city markets closed at noon. so that those
were forced to make an early visit In order
to secure that which they wished.
There was. as usual, a very fine display of
all that one could desire and the manner
in which the goods were displayed brought
% mind the remarks of an Eastern lady
who, some years ago, while on visit to
this city, took stroll through our markets
and gave her opinions through the columns
of an Eastern periodical. In this she ex-
pressed herself in the following words
1.-THE fruit and vegetable dealers in the
California Market In San Francisco show
great artistic ability in the arrangement OF
their stands. have seen many large mar
kets In great cities. but nowhere else have l
found such tempting and artful display.
Their wares are not placed on fiat stand
or surface, but on an inclined plane. so that
every detail at once strikes the eye of the
purchaser. Their great pink raspberries,
luscious, cool, dewey black berries and their
magnificent clusters of cherry currants,
both red and white, challenge the admira-
ti0n of every beholder.
There lie creamy cauliflowers, like ex-
aggerated pieces Of coral, piled one above
the other. each perfect and showing no
speck or flaw to show the ravages of grub
or disease. Then you see boxes OF colossal
asparagus, whose green tips and opalescent
stalks tinged with faintest rose suggest
dainty omelets, delicate soups and appetiz-
Ing salads. Not the least attractive vegeta-
bic is the beautiful crimson tomato. Car
rots, young tnrpips and brets are all in

the most Of TO please the eye.

Years elapsed and some women of fash

when the name of the story and the mystery
attending its authorship were mentioned.
The editor of the Revue des Deux Mondes
had by this time been let into Nine. Car0's
confidence, and his persuasi0ns prevailed
upon her to reveal herself as the long
sOught-for writer. The discovery that the
wife of the most popular professor OF the
Sorbonne was the author of the novel that
had so long fascinated readers OF every class
produced something of sensation. At one

as was that of her husband. whose lectures

it into saucepan full of hot water, add
small handful of salt to gallon OF water,

a small quantity Of powdered sugar. Stir
the whole with wooden spoon and then
serve it up on an oval dish with triangular
pieces of bread flied and neatly arranged
Oh the edge Of the dish.
Now l will tell you how to cook Lima or
broad beans as they are sometimes called.
After Smelling the beans they should be put
into saucepan with bunch of parsley
and allowed to boil until tender. When
done they should be drained In a colander
and then returned to stewpan with fresh
butter, little chopped parsley, salt, pep
herbs. The beans should then be tossed
over the fire tor few minutes, after which
add a mixture of the yelks of Two eggs to a

we cook turnips. Take dozen fresh young
turnips of medium size, remove the outer
skin and place them in deep saucepan, on
the bottom of which has been spread a
thickness OF good butter and an ounce OF
sugar strewn on it, Then moisten the
turnips with gill OF good clear SOUP stock.
Then set the pan over a moderate fire and
allow the vegetable to simmer for about
forty minutes. At the expiration of that
time place the pan over a brisk fire and
allow the sauce to boil down to glaze.
When it has reached this condition roll the
turnips gently in it, taking care to avoid
breaking them. Then dish them up in a

insert an iron nail in the lower end of short
candle in order to make that end heavier
and place the whole in a glass containing
enough water to reach the upper edge OF the
candle without wetting the wick.
As the candle burns it grows lighter and
lighter and rises gradually as it diminishes
in length, so that the lighted end always re-

Moreover the autside OF the candle being
cooled off will melt much more slowly than

This hollow place also helps in making
