A Ruined Wedding Cake.

An English gentleman residing in
Calcutta has brough an action against
firm of Paris pastry cooks and con-
fectioners under rather interesting cir
cumstances. The plaintiff was about
to be married, and ordered what has
been called IA phenomenal wedding cake
from the defendants. A sum of $120
was paid down for the cake on deliv-
cry. The colossal and expensive arti-
Gle of confectionery was packed by the
plaintiffs order, and he took it with
him to Calcutta. On opening the case
containing the cake when he arrived
in India the Englishman found that he
had literally nothing but shspeless
mass of crumbs. The splendid gateau
had been hopelessly bruised and broken
during the voyage. An action was
then brought against the Paris firm
for sum of $135, which included, be-
sides the price paid for the cake, the
cost of packing and transport. The
defendants maintained before the Paris
tribunal of commerce that they had no
more responsibility after they had de-
livered over the cake to the person
who ordered it. 1t was true that they
recommended a packer, but that ex-
pert acted under the orders of another
individual, who had been selected by
the plaintiff to superintend the opera
tion. The tribunal decided in favor
of the defendants. Paris Letter.

Round Shoulders Cured.

A woman physician has recommend
ed the following movements for the
cure of all except very 'severe cases
of round shoulders, when braces are
also sometimes necessity: l. RaiseI
arms before your shoulder high; ex-i
tend arms sideways; throw head back );
straighten head; move arms forward
lower arms, repeat ten times. g.
Stand erect; raise arms before you :,
rise on tiptoes, then throw arms as far
backwards as possible; sink again on
heels and drop arms to side; repeat
ten times. 3. Raise arms with elbow
bent shoulder high, bringing palms
together in front of face; then, with
elbows still bent, swing both arms
vigorously backwards as far as posi-
BILE, even with the shoulders, palms
looking forward. This should be re-
peated several times, but as the posi-
tion is somewhat fatiguing rest or
change of exercise may be made be-
tween the movements.
Another simple movement designed
to bring about correct position of
the shoulderblades consists of holding
a cane or wand in both hands, throw
ing the head back and carrying the
stick "from above the head back and
down the hips"
AS the clothing, if too tight or uI
yielding about or over the shoulders,
may help to produce round shoulders,
both the under and outside wrist
should be comfortable and bands over
the shoulder of garments made of
elastic. New York World.

First American Steam Locomotive.

After one has spent day viewing
the splendid railway exhibit at Chic
ago's great Fair, or even the showing
made at our own Exposition, it is diff
ficult for him to realize that every
thing relating to that branch of in
dustry is the result of but sixty years
labor All the giant strides that have
been made in the railway enterprise
of America have been brought about
within the memory OF many men and
women who daily walk the streets of
St Louis. In 1881 the railway ~
connecting Albany with Schenectady,
n Y, had less than dozen cars, each
drawn by two horses Later on, in
1882, | believe, locomotive engines
were introduced, but as the railway
ran up and down hill, Just as the
wagon roads of to-day, the locomotives
had to he assisted by stationary en-
gines, thus making double expense.
The very first steam locomotive
constructed in America was made by
the kembles Company of West street,
New York, in 1890 81. This pioneer
American triumph of the mechanics
art" was shipped by sailbost from the
manufacturer shops to Charleston,
: G., where u was put together and
first used on a short freight road be-
the city last named and small place
called Hamburg st. Louis Republic.

Erin's Loss or Gain,

Much of the old joyousness of the
Irish has vanished. The old stories
and legends are rarely told now; poll
tics and trade absorb all the conversa-
ton. The narrative of bygone glories
and sorrows, of St. Patrick and Brian,
of the great O'Neil, and of the Geral-
dimes, and '9S and the famine, have
given place to United Ireland, The
Nation, and the vulgarities of Mick
McQuade.
The crossroads are deserted where
formerly in the long summer evenings
the boys and girls gathered to dance
to the fiddle's nevert tiring music. You
may still see the girls milking the
cows in the crofts, morning and night,
but you hear no more the plaintive
ballad and come-all-ye to make the
dhrimin dhu let her milk down easily.
To the non-politician it seems as if
this were due to the all-pervading
political taint. 1t appears to him the
plan of campaign has banished the
"good people, the rise and fall of
the butter market put the milking song
out of tune, and discomfort made the
heart too heavy for the heels to be
light. To the less sentimental OBJ
server the signs are of brighter omen.
If the people have less of the old
careless gayety, they are grown
steadier. If they are discontented, it
is not mere grumbling shiftlessness !;
they want something higher than they
have, and that, with the power of
sdving money, is what brings men and
Nations to the top of the tree. West

Professor Gamers announcement
that his visit to Africa to study the
language of the monkeys has been en-
tirely successful is necessarily of great
interest, observes the New York
Times. 1t is of the greater interest
because he has brought back with him
two chimpanzees, with whom he
claims to have established conversa-
tional relations, and with whom,
doubtless, he will consent to converse
i'll public not necessarily for publica-
tion, but as a guarantee of good faith.
OF equal interest is his statement that
when he was anchored out in cage
in the middle of an African forest,
eavesdropping on the circumambient
apes, he kept phonograph, and by
trick and device induced the monkeys
to talk into it. Their remarks VIII
doubtless be ground out again for the
benefit of learned societies, in the
wheezy and asthmatic tones into which
the phonograph converts all sounds.

Cheap Lodging Houses Abroad.

One of the City Councillors of Lon
don told me recently with iustifiable
pride of the wonderful success that has
followed the establishment of mu-
nicipal lodging house in London. He
says it is absolutely clean, the linen is
spotless and the rooms are more like
those of club than of public insti-
tuition. The charge for lodging for
night is five pence, or ten cents, and
this gives the lodger the right to cook
his own food in the place. London
was not the originator of this system
of public lodging houses, but fol-
lowed an example set some years ago
by the enterprising city of Glasgow,
which has ten lodging houses, nine for
men and one for women. These, too,
are organized somewhat on the prin-
ciple of a club and beds with one sheet
are provided for seven cents and beds
with two sheets for nine cents. The
thrifty Scotchmen have succeeded i'll
making these institutions pay over
four per cent on the investment, and
! haven't any doubt that public lodg-
ing houses ON the same plan would
pay good deal better in New York.

Rest Schools for Cooks.

There are probably $50 schools for
cooking in Germany and Austria, the
best of which are at Vienna, Berlin
and Leipsic. A man who wishes to be-
come a chef must begin at the very
bottom of the ladder at peeling pota-
toes--and work mp, round by round,
to the top. course of schooling as
strict as that of any polytechnic school
in this country must be followed for
four years before the student can get
diploma. Every year competitive ex-
aminstions are given, in which as many
as 300 chefs take part. The chef who
was employed at the White House by
Grover Cleveland during his first term
has n gold medal which was presented
to him by the Empress Frederick for
excellency in cooking, silver medal
given hy the King of SaXony, di-
ploma from the Empress of Austria.

The wages of train-robbery do not
seem to the San Francisco Chronicle
to be large enough to make the pursuit
attractive. Within the last three
months there has been an epidemic of
this crime, but in nearly every case
the robbers have been run down and
either captured or shot. Even where
bloodhounds are not used the fugitive
is placed at terrible disadvantage,
as he is usually seeking to escape from
men who know every trail and hiding
place. Before the day of the telegraph
the criminal had some chance of elud-
ing pursuit, but in the present day of
instant communication his lines are
not cast in pleasant places. 1t would
make curious exhibit were one to
bring together the profit and loss of
train-robbery i'll single year. 1t
would be found that the men who ex-
pend rare skill for weeks In planning
a crime seldom realize anything for
their pains An honest, plodding day
lsborer makes more in year than one
of the higher class criminals who risks
life and liberty ii dozen times for
petty gains.
