ORNITHOLOGIcAL EATING.
An Inn Whose Larder Contained Ever
Kind Of Game.

An Inn Whose Larder Contained Every
Kind Of Game.
o. A. Taft, probably the greatest
boniface of modern times. died recent
" in Boston. His larder was renowned
far and wide, and it was his boast that
he could serve to order anything eat
able that swan in any sea or few under
any sky in the world. This remark
able declaration, reminding one of the
establishment of the Viscount Albert de
Morcerf when he beheld certain fish
on the table of the Count of Monte
Cristo, was put to the test on one oc-
casion which well remember. 1t was
during the centennial year. Areiative
of mine who had resided in Europe
since 1861 visited the United States to
attend the exposition at Philadelphia,
and was accompanied by Mr.. Yacks-
ley, an extensive manufacturer of Mer-
ton, Eng. Ny relative had at different
times resided at every capital on the
continent, and was par excellence
judge OF good cooking, while his asso-
ciate prided himself on epicurean ac-
complishments- Upon their arrival in
Boston met them and, knowing what
they would most enjoy, drove them
down to Taft's. En- route I told Mr..
Yaclsley of the famous restaurateurs
boast and he offered to wager a sove-
reign that he would order bird which
Taft not only could aot serve, but had
never seen before
After the introduction On the porch
of that famous hostelry l told Taft of
our conversation, and with that suave
and smiling manner so characteristic,
he begged to know what the gentle
man would have.
Mr.. Yacksley named bird, cannot
now recall its pathological name, but
it is only to be found in the mountains
of Norway.
Said Col Taft, with merry twinkle
in his eye:
"Mr. Yacksley. would you know it If
you would see it?''
Yes said Yacksley, 81 think I
should"
Come with me-" said the colonel,
and conducting us to his spacious store
room, adjacent to the kitchen, the
whole north side of which was lined
with ice boxes, he mounted a small
step-ladder, opened the door of the one
labeled Northern Europe" and took
therefrom a partially dressed bird, head
and feet still on, about the size OF
pheasant, which Mr.. Yacksley, with
profound astonishment, admitted was
what he desired.
We were served with a dinner, in
which similar rare delicacies figured,
and without wine or liquor of any kind
my bill was S2490 With the ices came
a souvenir on small plate, translucent
and of the rarest and most costly
dressed, an English walnut shell,
which opened on a hinge, and contained
a humming bird, dressed and cooked
for the ta bic in imitation of roasted
turkey. This souvenir was an invari-
able accompaniment of all course dim
ners at Taft's-Baltimore Herald.

For wide window, such as often oc-
cur in country houses, the same lam
brequin idea amplifed and slightly
changed makes an excellent drapery
without curtains of any sort. Screw in
three rings in place of two-one in the
center and one at each end-and use
two Madras curtains in place of one.
You allow fringed end to hang at
each extremity and two to meet in the
center ring, forming really graceful
drapery that while it breaks the hard
line of the window casing does not be-
come curtain" and does not inter
fere with the free passage of the sum-
mer breeze.-Albany Argus.

SCIENTISTS PUZZLED.
How Did Rarbarous Tribes Get the Art
Works of Civilized People?

WORKS OF feOHte.
There is a question which constantly
haunts the antiquarian mind like a
ghost in an old house. That question
is. how did trihing matters-a song, a
story, game, a toy-come to be scat
tered widely among the most remote
and ignorant peoples? In the case of
customs and of myths we may often
deem that the mind OF man reacts alike
to the same impulses from nature or
from human needs An ancestor of
Gibbon, who was a herald, and had
been Blue Mantle, retired to America
in the seventeenth century, and there
he found heraIdic bearings among the
red men of Virginia. The savage
dancers ''were painted, some party
per pale gull and sab some party
per fess,' of the same colors," whence
Edward Gibbon inferred that ''heraldry
was ingrafted naturally, into the sense
of the human race That is, heraldry
is an innate idea" As DIR. Max Null
Ter remarks in his new volume of Lee
lures on Theosophy." we can no longer
accept this theory of innate ideas and
OF party per fesse. or erests, as ready
made parts Of the human intellect
Certain arrangements of colors. certain
indications OF lineage by erests, are at

Frederick Remington as an indemnity
for the troubles he underwent in the
ears dominions last summer. Mr..
Remington bore the special passport of
the United States. and his trip to
Russia was undertaken simply for the
sake of making sketches connected
with his private work. and was devoid
of all political significance. He was
not permitted 20 make notes, the canoe
he took with him from this country TO
ST. Petersburg was detained and dam
aged. and he was not allowed once TO
launch it, and his summer was prac-
tically wasted. Hence the generous

JOHN WHITE.
The Principal Draughtsm.n in Raleigh'l
Second Expedition.

The Principal Draughtsm2n in Ralei2h'G
Second Expedition.
In the British museum there is pre-
served John Whites original drawings
in water colors illustrating Sir Walter
Raleigh's voyage into Virginia in 1885.
This John White was an English
painter who was sent BY Queen Eliza
beth in 1885 TO Virginia as principal
draughtsman in INleigh's second expe-
dition for exploring the country and
planting his first '-colonie." The eXpe-
dition of seven ships was under the
command of Adm Sir Richard Gren-
vile, the ancestor of the founder of
the Granville library in the British
museum.
This first 'tcolonie," consisting of
one hundred and eight men, remained
in Virginia one whole year. and then
returned to England in July, 1886, in
Sir Francis brakes fleet, then coming
victorious from the West Indies be-
cause the long and expected supplies
and reinforcements from England had
not arrived. Fourteen days after their
departure Sir Richard Grenville arrived
with new stores and new planters, to
find the old ''colonie' deserted. Little
is known respecting John White 1t is
recorded, however. that he made four
voyages to Virginia, and that during
the second expedition he was appointed
governor in 1887. He was the grand
father of Virginia Dare, the first En-
glish child born in North America In
1855 Theodore de Bry, on visit TO
London, was induced to engrave the
said drawings, and his work was issued
in 1890 in folio at Frankfort
Copies of this book are very rare.
There is very imperfect one in the
library at Harvard college. 1t is sug-
gested by Mr.. Louis Pagan, Of the
British museum, that fac SMILES should
be made of both the drawings and en-
cravings as a memento Of the Column
bian exhibition. Art Amateur.
