AMERICAN FOOD AND COOKING

Some Remarkable Statements in
French Review
The ignorance Of French writer's who
treat Of matters relating to the United
States is generally very much in evil
dcnce. One of them In recent issue
of the Revue ScientifiQue, writing upon
the subject of our edible turtles and in
cidentally OF cookery in this country,
makes the statement that green turtles
are taken in the nelghborhood of New
York-from there to Florida. He also
asserts that 1t is only in ailments OF
aquatic origin that our food products
IRE superior to those of Europe, that
our fishes are abundant and generally
good, but that our culinary treatment
of them is inferior. AS regards our
meats, poultry and game, the French
man dismisses them as little worthy OF
attention. OF the first two 1t may be
conceded, says the New York Sun, th;E
the average quality is not so high as In
France. His estimate OF our game is
probably bnsed upon the condition In
which 1t peaches European markets,
where 1t Is sold in large quantities In
the close season here. This estimate is
not fair one, inasmuch as almost all
of our game which goes abroad has,
previous to shipment. been held for
months In cold storage warehouses; to
Its deterioration both in quality and fla
yor AS regards our native cookery, the
French writer asserts that there is not
much in 1t to tempt European partic-
ularly, and especially a FrenchInan.
While this may be true concerning the
country at large, IN exception must be
made in favor of the native cookery of
Maryland and Eastern Virginia and
that of the creole population of Louis
iana, which, within its compass, is Sec
ond to none. The fact must not be lost
sight of that in the last decade culinary
skill with us has made great advances,
the result of which would not be nppar-
ent to superficial foreign observer. A
case in point illustrative of our progress
in this direction is offered In the all
mcntary department of our exchanges
for woman's work. Within the restric-
tons which 1t imposes, the edibles there
on sale, the work of native feminine
brcad-winners, are promptly bought,by
discriminating purchasers, SO far are
they superior to foreign preparations
of similar character.

Mountain Vegetation in Africa.

Scott Elliott has been investigator
5he botany of Ruwenzori, the giant
mountain of Central Africa. Up to
1000 feet he found grass and cultiva-
ton; then begins the forests, which,
up to 5000 feet, consists OF deciduous
trees, sometimes with thick under.
growth, sometimes quite open, with a
profusion of ferns, moses and creep
ers. From 5000 to $500 feet bamboos
grow, and the predominant feature is
the wetness of everything; only very
few watery plants grow among the
root. Above 9600 feet tree heather
takes the place of bamboo, and seems
to extend to the snow, which Mr..
Elliott could not reach, and even be.
yond. In one attempt to reach the
summit, he found what seems to him
the Alpine Lady's mantle. On the
mountain birds and animals are ex
tremely scarce. He SAW a sunbird,
green, yellow and crimson, above TO-.
900 feet, and also saw robin and .

month, and since that date the follow
ing men have made their appearance
upon the bench and retired either by
death or resignation: Chief Justice
Waite and Associate Justices Strong,
Bradley, Hunt, Woods, Matthews,

take his seat again, Mr. Field has sur

be returned moro economically here.
Some of the metal, too, we get from
tho Central american Republics, and
not little OF their coin floats into
the hands OF the silver dealers in New
York.
The great chain of mountains which
forms the backbone of the new world,
extending from Cape Horn northward
through Central America and continued
by the wall Of the mighty Rockies, is
full of silver. In South America its
wonderful deposits, though wholly
undcv eloped, are being pecked at to
some extent by primitive methods of
mining, and some of the white metal
thus obtained is imported into the
United States. Though suggesting
theidea of carrying Goals to Newcastle,
the product naturally seeks this coun-
try for market. A minor fraction
of our own silver goes direct to China
through brokers in San Francisco.
One fact suggestive of reflection is
that in 1891 our exports of silver OK.
ceeded our imports by only S9,500,-
600. Tho United States Government
was then buying, under the law OF
July. 1890, $500, 900 ounces of silver
per month. Since then the mine own
crs have been obliged to find sale
for their silver abroad, and thus, as
has boon said, tho expectation has Ill
ready risen TO nearly $50, 000,0 900 per
hnnum. To-day the treasury has on
hand S137, 000,0 900 worth of silver
bricks, tho bulk of them stored at the
mint in Philadelphia.
The advertising lists of the London
brokers for the information of specu-
lators make incidental mention of some
of the causes which have brought
about fluctuations in the price of sill
yer during tho last twonty years.
Among these is noted the death of two
German Emperors in quick succession,
which disturbed the market consider
ably. A great famine in India made
it necessary for the country to import
largo quantities of broadstuffs. These
had to DO paid for in silver. the avail
able supply of which was thus in
creased, SO that quotations for the
metal fell. Tho repeal of the Sherman
law was q blow to silver, of course.
On the other hand, the war between
China and Japan has raised tho price
of silver somewhat, because those
countri les will need more money with
which to carry on hostilitics. If the
huge indemnity in which China is to
be mriched should be made payable
in SILVER, tho metal would go up.

Wage Admissions.

Tho American Economist makes
some admissions in regard to wages
that are worth nothing. Tho Iron &c
Coal Trades Review, of London, in
bemoaning the loss OF colonial and
foreign markets to British trade, said:
"Thot this should have happened in
country where tho ratio OF wages
paid is understood to DO Is. to SO per
cent. more than our own is One Of
those. curious economic problems that
are exceedingly difficult of solution.
But the effect OF the fact is that Ameri-
can wire manufacturers are making
havoc with our English wire trade in
Central and South America, and arc
doing considerable business in Canada.
Unless English manufacturers can
keep up to their rivals in cost of pro-
duction they will inevitably go to the
wall. Hitherto we have prided our
selves on having reasonably chenp and
highly efficient labor; but it would
seem as if that day were now past.
Manufacturers OF experience assure
mo that American workmen in steel
works, although nominally receiving
higher wages, are really considerably
cheaper than our own, and we know
this to be tho case in both Belgium
and Germany"
The American Economist, in at.
tempting to explain this phenomena,
says:
American workmen do receive high
er wages and turn out moro finished
products per man in many branches
of manufacturing. There are two req.
sons for this. Their higher wages en-
able them to 'bny more meat and they
are better fed. 30 that an Englishman
hero is moro efficient than ut home.
The other reason is that American
manufacturers stock their mills with
better machinery, and moro of it, than
those of any other Nation. AS con-
sequence much moro work is turned
out with less physical exortion.
"In Germany, although the wages
have been raised very much since Bis
marck, convinced by example, adopt
ed protective duties, they still ore be-
low those of England"
The organ of Che protectionists thus
admits that piece wages are higher in
free trade England than in protected
America or Germany. Protection then
is not the only factor in the wage
problem product does count for
something. Such un-American doc.
trine was not to be expected from this
source.

The New Y FORK Herald says: ssThouph
Canada has never sunk quite us low

tectionism' rs the United States tho
Canadian voter is, nevertheless, be-
ginning to find out that his tariff is an
elephant for him to carry. Thu Toronto

sented by the low rates on the Inter.

rs quoted 10 the Iron Age OF the 7th
instant, which journal also quotes
steel rails OF $40 to $22, according to
section. The Iron Ago says editorially
that, Judging by some of the figures
talked of by those who arc Interested
in new steel plants on the lakes, low
costs of production have not yet
reached their limit And it thinks
that the prospective prices of iron and
steel in the United States foreshadow
for many American collateral indus
tries continuance of low-priced
crude materials which will make them
lively competitors in the worlds mar
kets. The outlook is, therefore,
favorable for considerable increase
in our exports of pig. iron, steel rails,
hardware and all iron an1 steel
products to our Canadian noighbofqI
unless they sweep away their grand
National policy of protection, and
thus reduce the cost of production to

The real Japan is in unstable cqui-
