OF royal Bourbons the Duke d Aumale
especially preserves the tradition of the
Historic great appetite. " His high
ness as a glutton bids fair to outshine
Louis XIV. Each dinner begins with an
onion soup and black bread. The prin-
cipal delicacies are different kinds of
cheese and sorbet the composition Of
which is II profound secret.
The physicians of the duke have
warned him against oveIeatin;, but
with small success. He points with
pride to the fact that Louis XIV, after a
meal consisting of four plates of soup,
whole pheasant, three pounds of ham,
two pounds Of lamb, salads, vegetables,
pastries and fruits, ate half a dozen
hard boiled eggs, and ate such "a meal

Round the curve of the estuary was
coming a huge vessel. Her great yellow
bowsprit and white winged figurehead
were jutting out from the cluster of
palm trees, while high above them tow
cred three immense masts, with the tri-
color flag floating superbly from the
mIAzen. Round she came, the deep blue

one of the promontories of the island
the lookout men of the Gloire upon the
shore had seen the cul de sac into which
the British frigate had headed, so that
Captain do Million had observed the
Leda rs Captain johnson had the Slap
ping Sal.
But the splendid discipline of the
British service was at its best in such a
crisis. The boats flew back, their crews
clustered aboard, they were swung up
at the dayits and the fall ropes made
fast. Hanmocks were brought up and
slowed, bulkheads sent down, ports and
magazines opened, the fires put out in
the galley, and the drums beat to quar-
ters Swarms of men set the headsails
and brought the frigate round, while
the gun crews threw off their jackets
and shirts, frightened their belts and ran
out their IS Founders, peering through
the open portfolios at the stately French
man. The wind was very light. Hardly
a ripple showed itself upon the clear
blue water, but the sails blew gently
out rs the breeze came over the wooded
banks. The Frenchman had gone about
also. and both ships were now heading

clapping on every sail that she could

But that shouting 100 could not claim
it all as their own. As the smoke clear.
ed it was not difficult to see the reason.
The ships had gained the mouth Of the
estuary during the fight, and there,
about four miles out to sea, was the
Loda's consort bearing down under full
sail to the sound of the guns. Captain
de Milon had done his part for one day,

Rapid Development In Alaska.
THE END.

Some late reports show that Alaska
has been rapidly growing in commercial
Importance. Very few know the size of
this part of the United States or appre-
ciate its value. 1t is as large as Eng
land, Ireland, France and Spain togeth-
er. 1t is a spacious territory, filled with
mineral wealth and likely in time to
become of the first Importance to this
country. Even now its fisheries stand
in the front rank, and its production of
gold increases year by year, and in time
it may develop into new California or
Australia. immigration is increasing,
and the statistics of exports and imports
show a steadily growing volume Bust
ness has grown so rapidly that there is
a demand for revision of the statutes
and the enactment of code to govern
the concerns of the territory. -Cincin-

GIVE THE PEOPLE A CHANCE.

Wilkes-Barre Record: Colonel J. d.
l-aciars 5 suggestion n the Scranton Tr.b-
une that the Republicans Of the state be
permitted 10 express the.r choice for
president AT the primaries Is a sound one,
ana bound to meet with popular favor.
The Immortal Lincoln used 10 say that
the people We're generally right, and the
nearer the statesmen got to their way Of
thinking the more certain they would be
travelling N the right path. Colonel La
ears suggestions are therefore timely and
are certain To be considered with high
favor. The choice of the voters for presi-
dent at this moment cap hardly be known,
Tor the reason that the whole question Is
still vague and uncertain. 1t Is not even
known who the candidates will be. and
until that point Is pretty well understood
IL would be useless to ask the people for
an expression. But anyhow ii IS always
possible to select delegates to all cOnven-
tons wro are known TO have good judg-
ment and intelligence, and who could come
very close TO pleasing their constituency,
even though they We're not instructed at
the primaries. of course when Is Is pos
sble FOR the people to express their de-
l.berate choice by ballot that should be
done. but when Il is imposs BILE (say when
the primaries are held before public senti-
ment can be ascerta.nedD. the next best
thing to do Is to nominate men who put
the masses before the bosses and before
Their own selfish wishes or egregious
conceit"

Voters ShOuld Bc Consulted.

Carbondale Herald: "The discussion of
the effect of Senator Quay's victory on the
choice of the Republican convention in
its candidate for the presidency empha-
sizes the fact that under the present
methods the voters of IA party have no
choice In naming their candidate, except
as their sentiment Is indirectly reflected
through the delegates. Colonel j. ID.
Laciar takes up the question in a letter
to The Tribune. He advocates giving the
people n more direct voice in the conven-
tons. The plan suggested by Colonel La
car might prove profitable, not only to his
party, but to the Democracy, also, II they
should choose to adopt 1t. There does not
seem to be great rivalry for the Demo-
crate nomination, but the strongest can
didate would undoubtedly be named by
giving the people a voice in the matter"

THE MARYLAND IDEA,


As We all know. Senator Quay has de.
clared In favor of municipal Regeneration
and Is said TO be the father of the civil
service plank in the last Republican plat
form. Illinois has gone greater length in
this regard. and now the Republicans of
Maryland have even expressed themselves
more emphatcally than Pennsylvania or
the west. The Maryland platform pledges
the party to "the enactment of such legis-
lat.on as shall permit the people of the
several counties and municipalities of the
state to decide for themselves by popular
vote whether appointments to the police,
fire and all other departments Of public
service shall be In accordance with the
principles of the merit system" This Is a
clear recognition both of the business ar
guments against the spOils system. and of
the fact that a non-partisan public SER
vice Is an essential part of home rule.

said that Spain's sudden anxiety to
pay the Mora claim was due to the be-
lief that 1t would be well to have the
friendliness of this country when the
change came in Cuba.
This will be gratifying news to true
Americans everywhere. 1t Is u con-
ceded fact that no well-informed per-
son on the American mainland ex-
presses sincere sympathy for the nota-
bly, unsuccessful Spanish side of the
Cuban controversy. Spanish control Of

Americans needs only to be observed

The Names Of Scotch Towns.

There Is mystery about many of the
coast names of East Lothian. The inland
names are mostly Anglo-Saxon. Witness
Prestonkirk, Athelstaneford, Tyninghame,
Auldame, Salton, Bolton, Dirleton, Fen
ton and the like, but the names of many
places in and on the sea defy explanation.
Tantallon, the Bass, May, the Leithies,
Milsey bay, the Lamb lin an old map we
find in Bellcnden), Firdra, Eyebroughy
and the like would puzzle the brains of
Canon Taylor, Mr.. johnson of Falkirk, Sir
Herbert Maxwell and other experts in anti
quarian place names
1t would seem that tho Anglo-Saxon in
vasion took full possession of tho interior
of the country, celebrating the older
names, but as it did not master the coast
and the islands the ancient names, derived
probably from various races and languages,
continued to prevail. AS to islands, it
is remarkable that few miles farther up
the firth the names of the islands are con-
structed on n different but more uniform
principle. Inchkeith Inchcolm, Inch
garvie and Inchmyrkie agree in having
the prefix Inch, but not in any of the Heb
rides, Orkneys or Shetlands. One would
suppose this due to some local fancy

Sharksklns as Sandpaper.

A carpenter who was at work in the
New York Aquarium at Castle Garden,
and knew a thing or two about fishes, took
the skin of a dogish which had died, dried
1t and used it as sandpaper. The dogflsh
Is of the same order as the shark, whose
skin is often used as sandpaper. Shark
skin sandpaper is fine and uniform. 1t
doesn't scratch, and it is lasting. The
gritty points are really modified scales.
Fishermen use sharkskinAs sandpaper, and
some is sold for that use not so much,
however in this country as in Europe
When sold, it is used principally on fine
cabinet work.
In this country sharks are utilized chief
ly for their oil and for tho manufacture of
fertilizers. An oil that is used for lubri
eating purposes is taken from the sharks
liver, the rest of the shark, excepting such
skins as there may be other demand for,
being worked up into fertilizer In Europe
the shark is caught chiefly for its oil and
skin. A handsome leather called shagreen
is made from sharkskin, and this is used
for making purses, cardcases and orna-
mental boxes. Shagrecn is more used i'm
Europe than here Many small sharks are
eaten in Europe. In Mediterranean cities
they are II common article of food. New
