The Circus Kitchen.

At five minutes past shout from
the crowd indicates the approach Of the
three huge cook wagons, each weighing
30 tons and drawn by six horses. From
the first of them rise three chimneys,
out Of which black smoke is pouring.
This wagon carries the 16 foot cooking
range, where fires were started the mo-
ment the wagon was unloaded from the
train. Already, while rolling toward the
circus grounds, the ten cooks have been
making active preparations for the break
fast which must be served within two
hours to 700 hungry people.
When the three wagons have drawn
up on the site of the still unraised cook
tent, three butchers with heavy cleavers
at once begin work upon the sides OF
beef, legs Of mutton and loins Of pork
$500 pounds in ally that must forthwith
be changed into steaming steaks, chops
and outlets. A boiler is set up and
steam pipes are connected from it with
the big urn which must furnish 1900
cups Of coffee shortly, and with the
warming pans ON the tables where the
meats are served While this is doing by
one set of men, others are raising tie
tent, building 10 long tables and unpack-
ing 90 large green boxes that contain
5000 dishes and countless kitchen uten-
sils. Clure's Magazine.

New Treatment For Burns.

A Paris medical man Of resources and
alternatives had in hand case of severe
and extensive burning, caused by boil
ing water. So deep was the injury that
the healing process was greatly delayed.
The patients family objected to skin
grating, which seemed to be the only
way to accelerate the process of recov
cry, and the doctor, as an experiment,
applied the internal membrane of the
hens egg-the white film with which
everybody is familiar. The injury must
have progressed beyond the suppurative
stage and shown signs of healthy heal
ing. A freshly laid egg is broken and
the membrane Immediately cut into
narrow strips and laid carefully across
the raw surface, then antiseptic dress
ings are applied with carbolic solutions,
and the whole is covered by tin foil In
number Of cases this procedure has
been eminently satisfactory.-New York

fell dead that day with the hammer in
his hand. Blacksmiths, I think, are usu-

as I have heard, who were Of this craft,
silent men who left the pent up speech TO

SOME OLD TRADE raIcks.
How They Were Punished Five or Six
Hundred YearslAgo.


Hundred YearssAgo.
Cheating in trade is No new thing. It
was practiced in the fourteenth century
as well as in the ninetee4th. Our town
records contain many cases Of summary
jurisdiction in mattersE affecting the
price, weight and quality of food, cloth
ing and other things.
I Gull a few from the archives Of the
city of London. In 1348 proceedings
were taken against butcher for selling
putrid meat. Three reasons were alleged
against this conduct at his trial before
the mayor and aldermen. 1t was deceit
full and dishonest; dangerous to the pub
lie health; it brought scandal and dis
grace upon the mayor, corporation, and
all the inhabitants Of the city that a
Londoner should behave So After the
investigation he was found guilty, and
condemned to be taken, with his bad
meat carried in front of him, to the pill
lory in Cornhill, and while he stood
therein the carrion he had tried to sell
was burned under his nose.
It is we'll known that the pillory
was an instrument in which the culprit
was fixed, incapable of movement, ex-
posed to the contempt Of the people.
The offense Of the culprit was always
publicly proclaimed, and, according to
the views of the spectators, the punish
ment might be severe or otherwise. II
they disliked the offense of the offender,
their contempt would take the proven
bal and forcible form Of rotten eggs
and dead cats, and the trader would
make closer acquaintance with his
own wares, both raw and cooked, than
he might find pleasant.
A publican, convicted Of selling un
sound and unwholesome red wine, was
sentenced to drink draft Of the same
stuff which he sold to the common peo-
pie, the remainder being poured ON his
head, and compelled to forswear the call
ing of vintner in the city Of London
forever, unless he could obtain the favor
Of the king. A note on the record states
that he was readmitted five years later.
About the same time we find wom-
an charged with selling ale in short
measure quart pot, the bottom Of which
she had thickened with pitch and GOV.
cred with rosemary, to look like bush in
the sight of her customers. It was q
common practice to put some sort o.
evergreen leaves in the bottom Of tank
ards-hence the .proverb, "Good wine
needs no bush. - Her sentence was to
stand in the I'thew," or female pillory
with half Of the pot attached to it. Al
far as possible, the cause of the offenst
was always exhibited along with thu
person punished.
i Severe punishment was melted out fol

ket price of corn. and other articles. Ii
1347 a merchant was imprisoned for II
days for enhancing the price of his owl
property. He secretly employed mai
to bring certain of bis own (the mer
chant's) wheat to the market, where
upon he bought his own at twopence NOR
per bushel than the market price, O
course taking care to make the sam
well known, forgetting, however, t

HUMAN SUFFERING.
Nine-tenths OF It Is Useless and Could BE
Avoided.

Avoided.
Go through crowd Of people, pre-
ferably city people; examine the tired,
anxious, wasted faces; remember your
life and the lives of the men whom you
have known intimately; recall the vio-'
lent deaths, the suicides of which you
have heard. and ask yourself the reason
of all this death, suffering and despair.
And you will see, however strange it
may appear, that the cause of nine-tenths
of human suffering is the present life of
the world; that this suffering is useless;
that.it could be avoided, and that the
majority Of men are martyrs to worldly
ideas.
Recently on a rainy Sunday crossed
the market near the tower of Soukharev
in street car. For thirfDf mile the
car made it's way through dense crowd
that closed in again behind us. From
morning till evening these thousands of
men, most of them hungry and in rags,
jostle each other in the mud, dispute,
deceive and hate each other. The same
thing goes ON in the markets Of Moscow
and other cities. These men will pass
their evenings in the wine shops and
afterward will seek their holes and cor
ners. Sunday is their best day. Monday
they begin again their accursed exist
ence.
Think of the existence of these men,
of the situation which they abandon
and of that which they choose. Consider
the labor to which they give themselves,
and you will see that they are martyrs.
All have left their fields, their houses,
their fathers and brothers, often their
wives and children. They have renounc-
ed everything and Come to the city in
order To acquire that which the world
considers necessary. All of them are
there, from the operati re, the coachman
and the seamstress to Ine wealthy mer-
chant, the Office holder and the wives of
all of them, to say nothing OF the tens
of thousands of unfortunates who have
lost everything and live on scraps and
brandy in the free lodging houses Go
through this crowd; watch poor and
rich alike; look for a man who says
that he is satisfied and believes that he
possesses what the world deems necessa-
ry You will not find one in a thousand

Bill Wright was justice of the

Bill used to serve all his processes
himself and to save time would sign the
marriage certificates in blank and deliv-

One day Bill had process to serve
away up in the mountains on semibar-
barous recluse, who was sued for dam
ages for some disdeeds, and Bill thought
he would deliver few Of the certif-
Gates to the parson.
So, sticking both packages Of papers in
the same pocket, he mounted his horse
and rode off.
Reaching the minister's, he stopped
and chatted awhile, and, after deliver
ing his papers, he started off again and
took the road to the mountains. .-~----
