Taking a French Cock.

The making of a man cook in France
is a lengthy and tedious process. When
a young man decides to pursue a Gull
nary career he selects his nominal in.
structor, to whom he pays a fee of $500,
The aspirant is first assigned to the veg
etable cook, who teaches him how tc
prepare the raw materials. When he
has mastered this, he is initiated into the
mystery of cooking them. This thor,
oughly learned he studies the way OF
cutting up raw meat, of preparing fish
and how to stuff, dress, truss and lard
game and poultry. When he has thor,
oughly learned this, he is placed before
the range, where he receives instruction
in the various processes Of broiling, fry
ing, roasting and baking.
When he graduates from this depart,
ment, he passes under the control of the
second cook, who reveals to him the
mysteries OF sauces and soups. The in
terest of this functiOnary in his pupil it
is necessary to accelerate with liberal
and frequent tips. The young man is
now turned back to the pastry cook, to
whom he serves u long apprenticeship in
all that pertains to the ]concoction OF
sweets, pastries and ices. This completes
his culinary education, and he is pre-
pared to assume the role of a competent
cOok.-New York Sun.

SIR RICHARD OWENS GHOST STORY
1t Was FearfuIIy Real to the Man Who Saw
the Severed Head Rolling IN.

1t Was Fearfully Real to the Man VIII Saw
the Severed Head Rolling In.
The late Sir Richard Owen used to re-
late a remarkable ghost story. In his
early days, when he held the post of sur
geOn to the prison at Lancaster, a negro
died in Jail, and a pOstmOrtem as well as
an inquest was necessary. After the in
quest the young surgeon saw the body
put in the coffin and the lid screwed
down, to be ready for the funeral next
day. Owen had at the time been already
attracted to the study of comparative
anatomy, and negroes heads were not
plentiful, 50 he made up his mind that
this n should not be lost to the cause
Of science. In the evening he returned
to the prison with a black bag contain
ing a brick-from his official position he
had no difficulty in getting admittance
to the mOr1uary, where the coffin lid was
unscrewed and screwed down again.
During this process the brick and the
negro's head changed places.
The ground outside the principal eD
trance to the Jail has a considerable de.
scent, and the time being winter, with
snow and frost, Owen had scarcely passed
out when he slipped and fell all his length
the bag went from his hand, and the
head tumbled out and rolled down the
paved way. He got up, caught the bag,
and following the head clutched it Just
as it finished its career in a small shop
where tobacco was sold. Pushing it into
the bag again, he vanished out of the
shop with all the speed he was capable of.
Next morning, when Owen was going
to his usual duties at the prison, he was
called in by the woman at the shop where
the accident had occurred on the previous
evening. She wished him to see her hus-
band, who was very i'll. He had had, she
said, a fright the night before that caused
him to look wild and dazedlike. The man,
it turned out, was a retired sea captain
who had been in many adventures among
the West India islands when many deeds
were done that did not at that time re-
quire to be accounted for. Among these
had been the killing of a negro in which
he had a hand, and the transaction had
left atouch of trouble on his conscience.
After giving these details the old captain
told of the horrible event that took place
the night before.
He was sitting in his shop. All was
quiet, and it so CHANGED that he had been
thinking of the negro, when suddenly he
saw his very head roll into the shop in
front Of the counter, and it was followed
by the devil all in black, witha black bag
in his hand. The devil snatched up the
head, and both disappeared through the
earth like a flash of lightning. The de-
scription was perhaps not quite compli-
mentary to the young anatomist, but it
was satisfactory SO far that it showed that
his identity had not been recognized

His Bushes in Washington Is
Spotted Every Time.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-[Special =
1t is astonishing to note the number OF
men who during the past two weeks have
according to their own representations,
"just dropped into Washington to look
on" or who are "here on law business"
or are simply passing through on their
way east" Strange to say, all these men
are democrats, and as soon as they reg
lister at their hotels they trot off after
their congressman or senator. The next
publish list among the callers at the
white house or some Of the executive de.
partments.
Attention of the newspaper men was
called to this character of misrepresen-
tation by a well known ex-congressman
from Fort Wayne, Ind, who arrived last
week. Approaching your correspondent
he said "Tell the boys l am just passing
through on my way to Brooklyn and
was striving for a judicial appointment
in one Of the territories.
1t is just about as easy for an office
seeker to remain in Washington twenty
four hours and deceive the representa-
tives of the press on the question Of their
mission here as it is for them to get an
Office aud not hustle for it.
Men are very slow to acknowledge
that they are seeking an appointment,
and yet it is never considered a disgrace
full or dishonorable act. Applicants are
ever in doubt as to whether their mis-
sion and applications will be a success
and they seek to throw off their enemies
by keeping their ambitions in the dark.
There are a thousand and one ways by
which correspondents learn of the visits
and desires of office seekers. There are
messengers and clerks at the departments
and elsewhere who stand in" with the
boys on Newspaper row. Then it is al
most an impossibility for many of them
to keep the fact Of their aims away from
others from their states, and all office
seekers want to reduce the importance
of their own seeking in the eyes of the
public by increasing the number of ap.
~plicants. When many seek many escape
comment.
1t is a pretty sure sign nowadays when
a democrat is seen from a distant state
with democratic congressman, at their
homes here or proving around the de
partments, that they want office. This
is one way in which publication is some
times suppressed. When an office seeker
goes immediately to the representa-
tive of the newspaper in this state, and
after frankly telling him what he is here
for, asks that no mention be made Of it,
he sometimes succeeds. He generally
does if he assigns any good reason for
suppressing the publication of the fact.
But when an office seeker becomes an
office sneaker and misrepresents his
mission the correspondent is put upon
his professional honor to get at the facts
and publish all. If the object is throwing
the public off the scent is sufficiently
important to suggest misrepresentation
the value of the news of the affair lie
comes all the more great.
