Chicken on tho Shell.

In @ certain rather pretentious but
cheap priced restaurant witnessed a
scene which, though funny enough to
the outside onlooker, could not but have
been extremely notifying to the pro-
prietor The proprietor was also the
cook, and he was engaged in industri-
ously frying number of pancakes ON q
griddle placed for show in the window
when a party Of three who had just en-
tered ordered trio of eggs apiece. The
proprietor thereat seized nine of the
ovids from box beneath the counter and
began to break them one after another
upon the griddle. He had reached the
eighth egg when, 10 and behold instead
of q yolk and albumen spreading itself
temptingly into view, came small con-
fused mass of feathers, minute claws, a
beak, etc. A look of horror spread itself
over the mans face as he gazed at the
unwelcome apparition, and then gazing
over his shoulder and seeing that his
action was unnoticed he swept the grid
die clear of its offending burden,
creased it anew and proceeded with his
work. o cookery, how many frauds

The 1ireqpency Of Blood Poisoning y,ong

Il
The frequency OF Blood Poisoning ,ong
the Meat Packers.
1t would surprise you to know, {" re-.
Gently remarked an officer of one of our
large packing houses, chow frequent
cases of blood poisoning are among our
employees, and the cause in most of
these instances would doubtless surprise
you more. A scratch ON the hand from
bone Of calf's head or a pigs foot
often disables a man for week, and,
strangely enough, in almost every case
that has come under my notice the
scratch has been SO slight as to DO al
most imperoeptible.
1.-THE first intimation the man has of
his injury is a swelling of the forearm,
accompanied by smarting pain. Both
swelling and pain generally extend to
the shoulder under which large lung
sometimes forms. Even after the pres
ence of the scratch has been in this
manner demonstrated it is often impos-
sible to detect it, It is usually caused,
in the case of the calf's head, by the
sharp edge ON the bone of the neck, due
to the carelessness of the butcher who
sewers the head from the carcass If he
does his work we'll and his cleaver has
severed the joint perfectly, all is we'll,
for there is no sharp edge to cut, but if
he has missed the joint by even hairs
breadth, which happens in five cases out
of ten, there is an edge on the bone that
will probably work mischief.
"Of course none of these cases has
ever resulted seriously, as prompt meas
ures are always taken and as we always
insist that man so injured Immediate
ly consult physician. This rule we
never vary, for we feel bound to retain
man on the pay roll while suffering
from such an accident, even though he
be untitled for work, and the unskillful
treatment Of an apothecary ON which
many of them would like to rely, or the
even less satisfactory methods of home
surgery would only prolong the term OF
idleness. New York Sun.

Iniurles 20 the Eyes.

An oculist Of long experience in this
city, who was recently asked to state
the most common causes of accidental
injuries to the eye replied: Among
children, throwing stones and playing
'shinny'-a most dangerous game. An
other not infrequent cause of accident Is
allowing children to stand about the
kitchen range when the cook is frying
fat that sputters and flies about the
room, Among adults, the umbrella tits
point when carried open in crowd
and tip when carried closed over the
shoulder) is quite common cause OF
injury and flying cinders another. But
most of the cases we treat are not due to
accident, but rather to the prolonged
misuse Of the eyes by close application
either in dim or glaring light, and of.
ten injuries arise from strictly constitu-
tional disorders. philadelphia Rec.

sARcgYs FAMOUS DUEL.


The Noted Partisan Critics Own Story a9f
At this moment appears gentleman
whom all Paris knows and almost all
Parisians adore-namely, Francisque
Saroey. Knowing himself to be among
friends, he talked freely. For half
century nearly our great critic has held
the pen, at first timidly, and now he
yields it with unquestioned authority
Like most Partisan celebrities, he was
born in the provinces, at Dourdan,
where his father kept school after tho
fall of the first Napoleon dissolved the
army in which the elder Sarcey had in
sisted on enlisting in spite of his excess
i've nearsightedness, transmitted to his
son. There Sarcey's parents toiled with
varying fortunes, and thence Francisque
took his fight for Paris and walked
firmly in the footprints of the late Jules
Janin, who also devoted his life to
dramatic criticism. He makes an idol of
the drama. He lives for his work He re-
spectfully considers dramatic criticism
an art and not q trade, and perhaps for
that reason is the greatest critical au-
thority in France.
He told us of his duel with Hector
Pessard, the musical critic and comic
opera composer, who is very charming
man, by the way. Sarcey, in 1865,
wrote scathing attack ON Girardin S
paper, La Liberte, Emile de Girardin
objected on principle to duels, so the
editorial staff, considering their literary
style insulted by Sarcey, drew lots as to
who would call him out and kill him if
possible. The lot fell ON Pessard. Now,
Pessard and Sarcey were great friends,
but it was necessary to obey the call of
honor, SO Pessard sent the challenge,
which Sarcey accepted with dignity.
The adversaries took off their coats and
vests and faced each other, swords i'll
hand, when, lol the four seconds took to
squabbling over some detail. The dis
pute was long and ferocious, and the
two adversaries fell into conversation,
sword in hand.
Quoth Pessard-I am frozen. Would
you mind if l put ON my coat?
Sarcey-A good idea. We can kill
each other later.
Pessard-Let me tell you, my dear
Saroey, how greatly admire your tai
ent.
Sarcey--I can say the same to you,
but why arc we going to kill each other?
Pessard--I don't quite know. 1t
seems you grossly insulted me, and If l
do not succeed in killing you that you
must certainly Stay me in expiration.
Sarcey (meditatively)-I do not re-
member having insulted you, but If you
say SO | suppose it is true.
In the meantime the four seconds
were quarreling furiously. One gentle
man was shaking his fist in his oppo-
nent's face and another was brandish-
ing his riding whip, whereupon Sarcey
suddenly burst out laughing and said;
'Come, Pessard, let us separate our
seconds, and then, instead Of cutting
each others Threats, we will go and
have some breakfast T"
Which was no sooner said than done,
and tho two duelists have been fast
friends ever since. Paris Letter in
Philadelphia Telegraph.

Lord penman and HIs Hatter.

This odd story is told of the late Lord
Denman, who, ON being reminded by a
west end halter that small account
was Overdue" visited the shop and
gave the manager a legal reply to the
request for payment. lyon state" he
said solemnly as he stood over him,
shaking his finger at him as though
warning him to be careful, that this
account is overdue. Remember that a

may become overdue, but tradesman' g

exists, will pay the account and take

Form of Instruction Scarcely Yet Known
In This Country.

A Form OF Instruction Scarcely Yet KNOWN
In This Country.
Among the methods of instruction
scarcely yet known in our country. but
long established in Germany, is the
school excursion. Indeed, while to the
uninitiated this measure may be regard.
ed as 10 less than revolutionary, it is
nevertheless true that excursions from
two to three weeks in duration were I'M
dertalsen by Salzmann with the pupils
of his school at Schnepfenthal, in Thur
ingia, when Washington was president
of tho United States. Since the close OF
the last century the school excursion, in
one form or another, has been growing
in popularity in Germany, and today
it forms regular feature Of perhaps the
majority of the elementary schools of
that country.
The school excursion offers the most
favorable opportunity for introducing
the child into many branches of knowl-
edge, for the reason that. by means OF
outings, the pupil may be brought in
direct contact with various phases Of
nature and tho works of man. And in
deed tho locality is exceptionally unfa-
vorable where an abundance of material
may not be found for instructing the
child in geography, history and the
natural sciences.
In Germany this broad study of tho
environment is recognized as distinct
branch of knowledge, known as die
heimathslxunde (homeology), and as
such is included in the curriculum Of
the first three years of the elementary
schools. DIR. J. M. Rice in Forum.

COINS OF LITTLE PRACTICAL USE.
Tho Gold Dollar Had No Utility, While the
Three Cent Piece Served n pnrnnse

Tho Gold Dollar Had No Utility, whilo the
Three Cent Piece Served Purpose.
To one who has not given the subject
thought it would seem that the most
useless coins ever issued by the United
States were the silver 3 cent pieces.
They were small, as thin as sheet OF
MANILA paper, and before they finally
disappeared from circulation they came
to be regarded as nuisances.
Although there is much to be said
against the annoying little coins, they
were, as a matter of fact OF far greater
utility, as far as circulatio is concern
ed, than another coin. This is the gold
dollar, which, experts at the subtreas-
ury say, has never served any useful
purpose. Said Maurice Mnhleman, cash
Ter of the subtreasury, recently:
From the mutilated condition of the
gold dollars sent here for redemption ii
is positively she yn that the public do
not regard them as coins. Their only
use appears to DO for bangles, necklaces,
watch charms, scarfpins and the like.
1t is doubtful if one in thousand ever
really passed in circulation
with the cent silver piece it was
different When first coined, the coun-
try had nothing in the shape of coin
between thu huge copperrents and nuif
cents and the silver half dime The
small coin was hailed as a blessing and
became popular at once There was an
excellent reason for its issue also.
Strange as 1t may seem, it was not
provided for by coinage act, but by an
act revising tho postal rates. This law
lowered the cost for transmitting the
unit Of weight for letters from 5 to
cents. 1t was doomed advisable by con-
gress thereupon to Issue coin of CORE
spending denomination. The coin was
of great utility and circulated freely un.
