WANTED, A DOPE COOKER.

WANTED, A DOPE COOKER.
 We print an advertisement this morning which is little out of tine usual run, even in our cosmopolitan columns, as our es- tssmed contemporaries might say. It reads: "Wanted, . man who knows how to cook dope" There arc two kinds of dope for which a cook is required. Dope is any thick liquid, e thick sauce, thick grusl or other semi fluid, or pasty thing for eating. Dope is also, 50 we are told, the preparation of opium which Is cooked for opium smokers. Now the question Is, is anybody advertising in this odd way for . cook for boarding house dope, or is Q cooker of the terrible opium dope wantedi Has New Haven an opium joint which is out of Q dope cooker and whose proprie- tor expects to get one by open adver- tisement in the leading family jour nal of the oityi Has young Yale determined to test the opium paradise and the opium hell and thus advertised for a dope cooker! Does some rioh hitter of the opium pipe want somebody to prepare his bliss and his poison for hint Is the Saturday Morning club going to secretly try the effect of opium on the imagins- tion, as many literary dabblsrs and mas ters have donei Docs the Law and Order league want to find out whether there is an opium dope cooker in town. Is some body in the throes of some kind of a practical joke. Or what is up! The ad- vertissment is certainly . queer one. We don't suppose there will be many answers to 1t, for the cookers of boarding house dope don't look upon themselves as such, and we don't suppose that there are many unemployed opium dope cookers in town.

Princess Bismarck is an ardent admirer of everything English. In recent letter,
 which we have hsd the privilege of peru sing, to @ very close friend-A Brighton
 lady-the life comrade of the Man of
 Blood and Iron thus expresses herself: 'I fear dare not even hope to see your dear country sgain. You know how love 1t. Your little island in the south Is indeed Gods own garden. Proud as am of my husband, I csunot help think ing VIC should both have been happier had the stars In their courses indicated his life work in your dear old England. may not talk politics, but there can be no harm in saying what have SO often said sfore, that had I the choice of nationality, would be an Englishvoman-frank, free,
 cultured, accustomed to outdoor exercise,

 It isn't mere man, but Kate Sanborn who says of the papers read ct the meet ings of womsn's clubs: "These efforts are usually too long-winded and too labored. They are exhaustive, usually going back to tho beginning of tho world to explain the present subject" And she kindly adds: "Thsre is too much of every thing in women's clubs but fresh air, elbow room and sincere altruism."
 The generally accepted theory of the cooking of meat relates to the application of heat, but Dr. Sswiczsvosky has called attention to the fact that almost precisely the same chemical and physical changes can be accomplished by exposing animal flesh to extreme cold. Meat subjected tc degree of cold equal to 70 degrees below .sro of Fahrenheit's thermometer look and tastes exactly like meat boiled in frsst water.

If you have to build bridge at . cost of l0O, 900 900 francs, you know that you will kill 100 workmen." In building the Eifel Tower, the engineer succeeded in keeping below the average. Six and half miliions worth of iron killed only four men. Iu the Forth Bridge the average was exceeded, The cost in francs was 45, 900, 900; the number lives lost was fifty five.

The straight front forms . good contrast with the graceful curve of the back, and serves to conceal the generally most faulty portion of the

THE EVICTION OF THE MAYOR.
 The town government, headed by an English hating Irishman, has shown itself has decided to eviot the mayor of the city from the second story of the building which is very insppropriately called the City Hall. He is, with . fine show of generosity, given days of grace until the first of March, but if he isn't out by that time probably the town constables will bs called on to eject him.
 The situation is humiliating one. Here is the City of New Haven. with peerless and limitlsss Society, with . Republican majority in the Court of Common Council, with a Board of Public Works which is perhaps not entirely constructed in the interest of private works, with @ population of one hundred thou sand, with several theaters night ly packed with the unemployed and others, with expenses which exceed the appropriations, with . police force which could catch even the small pox if 1t (the force) were not vsooinated, with @ Cham Der of Commerce celebrated for Its intsm- perate temperance, with Historical Society famous for Its sociability, and with . broad hospitality which opens its heart and its arms to all corners, including stsgs and mind readers. Here, we cay, is this great, prosperous, expensive, efficient and generous city slapped in the face by the town, that orgsniza zation which Aourlshes chiefly in the wilds of Westville and "ths Annex" which runs tke poorhouse and which has money but doesn't spand it-in the annual reports of the town agent.
 It is little too much. The town has a Board of Relief. The oity needs one, and needs 1t badly. If it were warm enough we would suggest that the mayor take his seat in front of the City Hall in the midst of his ofics furniture, just ss an evicted Irish peasant might cit in front of his cabin with his poor household goods around him. If the weather were such that he could do this 1t would not be long before the slow-moving finger of soorn would point ct the town in a way that would be noticed. And while waiting fo, something of this kind we will again Is. mind Captain Clarity that an Irishmsn is not consistent when he turns evictor.

The malady Of the Age,


 The young man of the day 1. poor cresture-a mere bundle of nerves, hypo- chrondriscal, hysterical, and the wretched victim of an ever-ineressing neurastheniA. That Is what Dr. Erb has to say of him, and Dr. Erb Is one of the most eminent psychologists in Germany "Neurssthe. his" he says, "ls a disease peculiar to the educated classes, originating in over.eIer- tion of the brain. Over-burdsning the mind begins at school Youth enjoys too easily the excitement of soci- ety life. Poetry Las deteriorsted into gross materialism, music has become too loud, even painting shows us the ugly side of thipgs." And the co sequence is that the race of men Is slowly but surely degsnersting towards the condition of hystericsl women. Mr. Grant Allen takes up the hstteripg tale, and asserts that the modern young man is SO poor a creature that he dare not even ask . woman to mar " him. Wherein, If he Is conscious of his defects, he acts with more prudence | and chivalry than Mr. Grant Allen gives him credit for. Is the indictment truei It Is difficult to deny 1t 6 certain measure of truth. It Is our modern custom to overwork the brains of the young. to sur round their bodies with over-much luxury, giving no chance to the development of endurance; and 1t is our fate to live In an sgs when railways, telesrsphs and fifty | other inventions have added immessursbly | to the wear and tear of the individual and | separate units of society. But to this | much of truth there has surely been added a vast deal of exs2geration. We are more | nervous, perhaps, but we are not less strong, less valiant or lees long -livei than our forefsthers were. Vi1eres fortes ante !
