Foreign Cooks In America.

There arc probably Z hundred and
sfty schools for cooking In Germany
and Austria. the best of which are at
Vienna, Berlin and Lcipsic. A man

tcchnic school in this country must be
followed for four years before the stu

competitive exhibitions are given In
which as many rs two hundred chefs
take part. The chef who was employed
at the white house by Grover Cleveland,
and who, it is rumored, may be again,
has q gold medal which wus presented
to him by Empress Frederick for
excellence in cooking. q silver medal

that European cooks command ex.

Practical Picty.

There is a good deal of practical piety
appropriate 10 the season in the sermon
preached by Rev. Robert Collycr in New
York just before the Leaten season
opcped. This distinguished preacher
said he was unable to see why people
walked abou. during the Lcntsn season
as though they were mourning for ONE
body, when IT WIS much better to be
joyous and happy. There is enough
trouble in this world without making
more" he said. 'Why not make the
time orc of joy? 1t rests with every
body whether or not they shall fast In
| olden times a man thought that Hc had
TO fast in order to be good That may
be 50, but there is every reason to be-
lievc that II isn't. Let us use common
sense in considering this matter. Tho
doctor of medicine should tell you what
you should cat and drink, and not the
doctor of divinity"

Negroes ON Southern Railroads.

Negroes on Southern Railroads.
1t is generally believed ut the north
that special cars are provided FOR Il e
gTocs on tho southern railroads, and
that they are forbidden to ride en- the
cars reserved for white people. Such is
not the case. The simple fact Is that
every railroad In the south sells frat
and second class tickets, whereas only
frst-clsss tickets are sold on most of
the northern roads a s~ccord-class
ticket entities one to passage on the
smoking car. As n rule the southern
negroes are thriftless s.d poor. and bat
for the blessed Institution of second
class tickets would hardly be able 10
travel at all, for rates of farr are near
ly double what they are in the north.
There arc usually rs many white peo-
pic rs black ones IL the smoker" and
although 1t seems o littio odd to find
women in an apartment that is filed
with the fumes OF pipes and cigars, il
really causes no suffering to them be-
cause they are smokers, too. Well
dressed negroes, who are able and will
ing tt pay full fare, nrc seldom inter
fered with ifthey choose to ride in first
class cars

The Law on Therapeutics.

A bill has been introduced in the
United States senate which indicates
that the necessity of state regulation OF
the practice of certain branches In
modern therapeutics has become recog-
nized. 1t is not long since hypnotism
was found to be capable of such abuse
that a law was passed in France to re-
strain its indiscriminate or undue prac-
tee, and In the same way the bill IN
question seeks to prohibit electro-mag.
n~etization, mesmerism and hypnotism

der legitimate conditions. In brief, II
provides that any person who, any
where within the jurisdiction Of the
United States, shall apply q current OF

Mr.. Cleveland devotes IN entire
paragraph of his inaugural TO plati-
tudinous denunciations of "immense
aggregations of kindred enterprises
and combinations of business inter
ests.n This section of the address
was undoubtedly intended to evoke
Populist applause. 1t will hardly
serve its purpose in view of the fact
that Mr.. Clevelend has chosen the
legal counsel of some of the most i'm.
portant combinations of bushes:

Not long ago the iron manufacture

Mohammed Alexander Russell

Mohammed Alexander Russell
Webb, of Missouri, who has become
a convert to Islamism, is not the first
American to become fascinated with
the religious teachings Of the Orient
and renonnce Christianity. The most
notable case of recent years was that
of Professor Coues of the Smithsonian
Institution at Washington. He had a
high position in the scientific world,
and was q warm personal friend Of
the late Charles Darwin. Professor
Coues made frequent trips to London.
Seven or eight years ago, upon his
return from a visit to London, Pro-
lessor Coues surprised his friends by
announcing his conversion to theoso-
ply. He became an enthusiast on
the subject, and for several years he
wrote and published many Interesting
papers defending t~heosophy. He
would talk by the hour about his
"astral body" and his ability TO project
it at will to any locality. During all
this time Professor. Cones retained
his position at the Smithonian. Grad
ually his ardor cooled, and later he
proclaimed theosophy to be a fraud.
He denounced Mime. BIavatsdy as a
humbug and swipdler. Professor
Coues was everywhere recognized as
3 very able able man. Mohammed
Webb of Missouri is different-he has
limited intelligence and education.

When the late General Butler was
in command in New Orleans, a woman
of that city applied to him for a pass
through the Union lines that she
might see her son, who was laying
wounded in a house in the suburbs.
The General told her she could have
one if she would take the oath Of ale
glance. This she refused to do, and
argued long and earnestly against it,,
breaking into a flood of tears at last
length, exclaiming: @You do not know

Our National Elections,

Tbs country hns lately gone through
its great presidential canvass. How much
die It coss2 The little items are the ex-
peAse of printing ballots and the time
and labor of the men who sit behind the
rail and receive the ballots; but these
expenditures must foot up, for the
whole country, many millions Of dol
lars. Legitimate expenses of political
parties, according to competent authori-
ty, would amount to other millions
Just how many no man could guess.
Enormous bills were necessarily in
CURED for printing, for postage, for the
rentof halls, for the travelling expenses
of delegates to conventions and Of
stump speakers, for the equipment of
political clubs with uniforms and
torches, and for other purposes some
what similar. Worst Of oil were the
expenditures for the secret service Of
the political parties, the cost Of the
dark and hidden art, purchased votes,
corrupt devices to cheat voters and to
falsify their will. Great as was the
money expense Of all this, the real cost
of it is not measured by dollars. The
country pays for It In a loss Of moral
stamina, in decentralization of the pub
