and we propose not only
to profit by them ourselves
but to give our customers

As time rolls on, We

benefit of our customers
and ourselves.
Call and be convinced

THE INNER MAN.

The Marquis and Marchioness de
Bechamel we're famous epicures in the
days of the old monarchy in France.
Bechamel achieved the distinction of
having a sauce, which survives to this
day, named after him. He married a
young woman named Valentine de
Rochemont, who is said to have attract.
ed him purely because she was a won
derfull good cook, and had remark
able appetite. Though this might seem
to be an insufficient basis for happy
marriage, it proved quite enough in this
case. The marquis and marchioness
cooked and ate together for fifty years,
in perfect accord and perfect health.
They we're said to have almost passed
their lives at the table; and when they
were not at the table together they were
generally in the kitchen together That
their cookery was wholesome, their
long life testified, and that it was
delicious, all the famous eaters of their
epoch were absolutely agreed They
had famous feast at their golden we'd
ding For many years the marquis had
been saving for this occasion a bottle OF
priceless Constance wine, from the
Cape Of Good Hope; and every guest
was to have drop or two of it. Just
as the bottle was being brought out, the
Marchioness de Bechamel sank to the
floor. 1t was quickly ascertained that
she was dead. She appeared simply
to have reached the term of her exist
ence; and her death at such a festival
was regarded as a most beautiful and
touching one The bottle of Constance
was put away unopened. The marquis
was inconsolable. Before long, he fell
apparently hopelessly ill. In this emer-
gency, his physician having informed
him that his end was surely near, the
marquis called for the bottle of Con
stance wine. With a sinking, dying
voice, the old man said: "When meet
my beloved Valentine on the other
side, she will say: What is that perfume,
my dear, which l detect upon thy lips ?
And l will answer: 1T is the Constance
wine, my beloved, that we had saved
for our golden wedding| Bechamel
drank of the wine, and his livid head
fell back upon the pillow. All supposed
that he was dead: but he was merely
asleep. An hour afterwards he called
his nephew, and sent him, with key,
to open a drawer in a secretary and
bring from it a box. The nephew
made all haste, supposing that the box
might contain his WILL or some other
document which he wished to sign or
modify before his death. To his
astonishment, it was found to contain a
pie. 1t was wonderful Perigord pie,
dressed with truffles of Sarlat. The
marquis ate freely of it, and again sank
back upon his pillow. CLARK p said
the doctor; 81 hear the fatal rattle in
his throat 1t will soon be over !" But
the ''rattle" turned out to be snore.
The marquis was asleep. And though
he was then seventy-fve years old, he
lived fifteen years longer, and invented
several more famous dishes

There is sadness among the epicures
of Philadelphia over the decision that
terrapin a la Maryland is the only dish
worthy of the name. The dispute was
settled, the other day, at John Wana-
makers Meadowbrook Farm, when
Philadelphia terrapin and Philadelphia
cooks came in competition with Balti
more terrapin and Baltimore cooks.
The judges were leading epicures Of
the two cities. Dish after dish of ter
rapin la Maryland and terrapin a Ia
Philadelphia were served, and, when
each epicure had enjoyed them to the
full, vote was taken and Philadelphia
lost-nine Of the fourteen gentlemen
preferring the Baltimore preparation.
For years Philadelphians have contend
ed that the only good terrapin was pre-.
pared after the Philadelphia recipe,
which calls for thick dressing of -four,
rich cream, and Madeira The Mary
landers always insisted that this was
not terrapin. They poked fun at the
Philadelphians mixing cream or flour
with terrapin, or even dashes Of Ma
deira. All the Baltimore cook wants
is a good diamond,back terrapin, a
little pepper, a lump of butter, and a
chatting dish. Give him these-he will
do the rest.
