among the wounded, while the English
lost but 81 wounded in all. Desperate in
the extreme must have been the defense,
when the killed numbered 90, as against
SO wounded.
But the prize was not borne away
without further demonstration on the
part of the French. A calm struck her
ON the way down the bay and that for
wonder just as she got within range of
the French shore batteries, which were
not slow to open fire. Fortunately a
breeze soon cleared her. Farther on
three warships sailed out of the harbor
of Brest bent upon recapture. What sort
of a fight the brave band would have
made in the ship never came to test, for
the British vessels lying nearest the
mouth of the bay maneuvered for her
protection, and the French backed off,
leaving the Chevrette to her fate.

Sand as a Filter.

1t is well known that the thickness of
the layer of fine sand in filtering beds
cannot be reduced beyond certain point
without endaugering the quality of the
water that filters through, DR.. Kurth of
Bremen has found in examining water
filtered through layer not sufficiently
thick that the number of bacteria was
greatly increased, owing to the presence
of a special microbe that could not be
found in the water before it entered the
filter. These microbes must therefore
have existed in the altering material
and have been developed by the passage
of water through it-Exchange.

JOSEPHINE WAS MERClFUL.
She Tried to Prevent the Execution of
the Due d'Enghien.

the Duo d'Engh1en.
Nine Bonaparte learned with intense
sorrow of the determination taken by
her husband In the main his measures
and his convictions had been kept Sc
cret, but she confded both to Nine DE
Remusat, and the first consul himself
had told them to Joseph. On the goth
the decree for the dukes imprisonment
and trial was dictated by the first consul
from the Tuilerles, and in the early
afternoon he returned to Malmaison,
where at 3 O'Clock Joseph found him
strolling in the park, conversing with
Talleyrand, who limped along at his
side. I'm afraid of that cripple, was
Josephine's greeting to her brother-ln-
law. Interrupt this long talk if you
can.
The mediation of the elder brother
was kindly and skillful, and for time
the first consul seemed softened by the
memories of his own and his brother s
boyhood, among which came and went
the figure of the Prince of Condo. But
other feelings prevailed. The brothers
had differed about Lucien's marriage
and the question or descent II the COLI
sular power should become hereditary.
The old GOODNESS finally settled down
and chilled the last hopes in the tender
hearted advocates for clemency. To
Josephine fearful entreaties for mercy
her husband replied: $50 away. You're
child You don't understand public
duties" By it was known that the
duke had arrived at Vincennes, and at
once Savary was dispatched to the city
for orders from Murat, the military
commandment. On his arrival at Murat's
office, from which Talleyrand was in
the very act of departing, he was in
formed that the court martial was al
ready convened, and that it would be
his duty to guard the prisoner and exc
cute whatever sentence was passed.

POOR EOBOLINkI
Barbarous Treatment of Song Bird by
She Scrapple Eaters.


Philadelphia is the only city in the
world where the reedbird can be found
in state of overrunnipg obesity, and
the only place where it can be cooked to
perfection. IN New York the French
cooks conceal its delicate toothsomeness
in rich dressing. There they know as
little about reedbirds as they do about
terrapin, scrapple and pepper pot. There
was given in this city one dinner III
which reedbirds We're served i'll IL diff
ferent forms. Among the courses were
soup made from reedbirds, reedblrds
stuffed with Blue Point oysters, reed
birds placed inside followed potato
and roasted, reedbirds stuffed with herb
filling and baked, reedbirds stewed
with fresh mushrooms, reedblrds Spit
and broiled-an abominable practice, by
the way; reedbirds saute, and SEEM
ing pie, from which, when the crust
was lifted, two dozen reedbirds flew
forth and around the room.
But, after all, there is only one way
to cook and eat the succulent reedies-
saute! Select birds which have little
clumps of yellow fat on both sides OF
the part last over the fence. Place them
in a saucepan-or, better still, chatting
dish-with plenty of the best butter,
salt, black pepper, and plentiful sprln-
king of paprika-the sweet Hungarian
pepper which nowadays can be found IN
any first class grocery. They must not
be split and their heads must not be re-
moved. Cook them for five or six min
utes, according to the size of the bird
and the heat of the fire, but do not al
low the yellow fat to become Drowned.
Nothing could be simpler, and yet few,
very few, cooks can prepare the reedblrd
without destroying its toothsomeness.
There is an art also in the eating OF
his daintiness, but it can only be ap-
piled to birds of the character and pre-
pared i'll the manner described above.
Wiring off the head and sink your teeth
into and absorb the brains. Then hold
the little darling aloft by the protrud-
ing bones of both legs, and slipping him
into watering mouth crunch your way
through his carcass until not bit OF him
remains but the leg bones. Then cast
your eyes above and say grace. That's
eating reedbirds, that is.-Philadelphla

terrible melee was then BEGUN on the
ships sides, above deck and eveh in the
boats, for the French boarded them in
turn. The resistance at first was savage.
The French sailors, ranged three deep
along the booms, used every conceivable
weapon and missile, even to cutlasses,
hatchets and pixies. The boarders grad
ually let fall their firearms, having
their hands engaged in climbing and
making a way with the short cutlasses
dangling at their wrists. The deck was
at last gained, and detachment of the
smartest topmen that had been told off
for the work climbed aloft after fight
ing their way to the rigging Though
everything was against them, they cut
the sail ropes, let the sails down, and a
breeze soon caught the vessel, which
drifted out toward the mouth OF the
bav. All the anchor cables had been
cut outside by sailors specially detailed
for that duty, and, moreover, the wheel
was in the hands of the enemy. The
steersman selected to take charge of that
had to fight his way to the helm. AL
though severely wounded in the strug-
gle, he stuck to his post until he carried
the captive vessel beyond the French
shore batteries. Then for the first time
the sailors of the Chevrette lost heart
With their ship moving from under its
guardian batteries and guided by foe
men, its anchor gone and boarders lodg-
ed on deck, all, too, in spite of elaborate
preparation for defense, the situation
seemed changed in twinkling. Un-
bounded confidence gave way to sullen
despair.

OBDURATE PRIsoNERs.-There is
hardly week in which some prisoners
are not locked up in the station house
on bread and water for refusing to work
on the chain gang. Some are open in
saying the city will get no work out of
them no matter how often they may Of
fend, and it may be remarked that these
assertions come from those who are
chronic offenders and who invariably
refuse to pay fines. The case of the
colored woman Cora Taylor, who gave
the people at the work house 30 much
trouble Friday, is case in point. This
virago determined to give all the
trouble she could and defaced and de-
filed everything within her reach, de-
fed Keeper Smith and became so as
gressive that the services of two police
men were required to carry her to the
station house. She promised next day
to submit to all rules of the work
house if the authorities would send her
back, but after she had been returned
she became as irreconcilable as ever.
The next Legislature should give
keepers of work houses, overseers of
chain gangs and jailors power to WELD
the lash, as is done in penitentiaries, in

A HoT SuNDAY.-It was generally
conceded that "Old Probabilities
struck it when continued high temper
sture was predicted for yesterday. AT
an early hour it was realized that the
prophecy was to be more than fulfilled
and that the mercury might not only
dance high in the nineties, but out OF
them, which it did, in some places reg
istering 102. By the time the Sunday
school bells began to ring the fierce
rays of the sun were torturing man and
beast, and to be exposed to them for
any length of time was depressing and
dangerous. The sound of the church
bells, which followed about two hours
later, drew meagre congregations to
the various places of worship, and the
voices of those occupying the pulpits
reverberated around many empty pews.
In the afternoon, when the heat was
most intense, but few people were on
the streets. The excursion steamers
from Washington were loaded down to
their guards with swsltering humanity,
who were escaping the heat of the city
by patronizing the river resorts. Ten
thousand people, it is said, left the city.
The electric cars carried good crowds
to Riverside Park, many riding there
and back merely for the purpose OF en-
joying the breeze which famed them
while the cars were in motion. Thun-
der storms and cooler weather had
been predicted for last night, but Meth
or came, and all night long people sigh
ed for gales of Araby or for a glass
house like that of the King of Siam,
that they might pass through the torrid
spell submerged in the Potomac.
