The Saunterer was in the front car
OF fast express travelling to New
York last week, and, as he had grown
rather tired of reading the morning
paper. he began to amuse himself by
studying his fellow passengers. Just
in front of him sat two men. One wore
a wide brimmed, stiff straw hat, and
his know-itall manner seemed to indi.
cate that he had just finished his Junior
year at college. The other, who was
much older, the Saunterer recognized
as well.known professor of archaol.
ogy at Harvard.
They were talking about the wonders
OF this wonderful land.
Il wish you could zee our town Of
Pokerville, Professor. said the young.
er OF the two men. 1t is most inter.
esting town-only twenty years old
and with fifty thousand inhabitants. {"

doubt replied the professor, drily.

ENGLAND IN THE JAM TRADE.

A few years ago, when Mr.. Glad
stone, in one of his charming bucolic
oratioue at Hawarden recommended
the British farmer to turn his atten-
ton to fruit cultivation and the max
ing of jam. his advice was received
with good deal of cheap and ignor.
ant ridicnle. As usual, the ex.Premier
has proved good deal wiser than
his critics. and those who gavo car to
his counsel in this Instance have had
no reason to regret their confidence.
In an interview famous provider
says:
"Tho motive that induced mo to
take up the jam trade was my know
ledge of the fact that within late years
the demand for preserves has been
steadily increasing, while that for
butter has-no doubt i'll consequence
shown tendency rather to decline
than otherwise. Catering as l do for
some 800. 900 daily customers. have
naturally good opportunity of knowing
what the public want in the matter OF
provisions.
"Jam has great future before it.
The people are using it more and
more largely every year-and. in my
opinion. they are doing wisely. fol-
what could be cheaper, and at the
same time healthier. than good Jam
made from sound English fruit?
II attribute the superiority Of Eng
ish 10 ln at,r ~ =
to the fact that the fruit ripens more
gradually in our climate than il
countries where there is more contin
mons and powerful sunshine. The
slower the ripening process. the bette,
is the favor Of the fruit.
"You may not, perhaps, be aware
that Strawberries grown in the north.

ior i'll all respects to those grown il
southern without doubt be
cause they take longer to mature
Australian jams are being pushed
largely in india and elsewhere, ant

produce.
In Ireland there is a magnificen
future for the fruit-growing industry
If only its opportunities We're turned t,
account. Even now most of the black
berries that come to the English mar
kets are grown in Ireland. But Their
are enormous possibilities there o
which no one has yet taken advantage

mercial prosperity" - Westminste

AN EDIBLE COG.

The Chinese Chow dog which has
been presented to Lyon, Hall q Co.,
by Captain Mahany, of the bark
Foohng Suey. from Hong Kong, is one
of many kinds of dogs that are eaten in
China. The word ''chow" is Chinese
for food and has been transplanted into
English in the word "chow- chow"
The full name of the species Of dog
presented by Captain Mahany is
"Chinese black tongued chow dog"
1t is yellow, with comparatively long
hair, and not unlike collie or an
Esquimaux dog in size and general APP
pearance. Its head resembles that of
n wolf and its tongue is so black as to
make it look as if the animal had been
drinking ink. Dog meat is one of the
regular items in a Chinaman's bill of
fare when he is able to get it.
Few persons in this country have
any idea of the variety of queer things
eaten in China" said Mr.. J. Crawford
Lyon yesterday dogs. cats. rats.
angleworms. insets. fowls and reptiles
of every sort" he continued. ''are to
be seen ON sale in meat shops every
where in that empire. They are kept
alive and killed as soon as purchasers
have selected them, they can be bought
already slain, but uncooked. or they
can be bought cooked. The blood from
the slaughter is kept and made into
soups and other dishes.
THE black tongued chow dog is the
dog most often eaten, but, as far as
species of the animal which the natives
will not eat. There are some kinds
that are considered more dainty thar
others, just as in this country in the
case of hogs. but the average China
man is SO poor that he is glad to gel
anything to eat.
"The ordinary food of chow dogs il

will make them mad. l never heart

styles
Mr.. John r. TAFT, the artist, in
letter to the Sun" suggests that 18th
recent difficulty of the Baltimore Gus
tom House appraisers in determining
tho value of the chow dog might hav
been easily settled had they classifie
it as edible meat. Some years ago

artists to Vienna to be placed there o

HE PASSED AS A GIRL.

The extraordinary story of young
man passing as girl all his life until
month or two ago is just related from
Treschatel, in the Alpine district of
Switzerland. He was known by the
name of Laura Besner, and came of
good family. Why his friends should
have registered the child as female
and subsequently kept up the deception
is matter of mystery. The young
man is said to have found the compan-
ionship of the weaker sex very pleasant,
and would probably have continued to
frequent the society of young women
as one of their number had not he
fallen in love, but in order to WOO and
win the lady of his choice he declared
his proper sex.
The earlier years of his life were
spent in convent school, on leaving
which he studied a cure for stammering
and subsequently founded school for
that purpose. This was so successful
that in few years he amassed 10000
francs, and then decided to study medi.
cine. With this object he was entered
as student at the Grenoble School of
Medicine as woman, and to all out
ward appearances was one.
His features were distinctly femi.
nine, and nothing in the shape of a
mustache or whiskers were to be oh.
served. In every way he comported
himself as female and seemed quite
/ ~ Il.
The only thing which might have be-
trayed him. perhaps. was a slight sus
| picion of the masculine in his voice
This, however, was scarcely sufficien,
to attract special attention.
The young man has been married ant
as husband he has already become
acquainted with the hardships of the
rougher sex, for. sad to relate. he il
registered for military service in 1895

A NATIONAL INSECT FACTORY.

The reason that the government
built its bug factory was that it wanted
to raise insects, see how they lived,
what they ate, how they changed in
form. and find out what would finally
destroy them. You can see how i'm
portant all this information would be
to man who had every year been
bothered by insects he could hardly SEQ,
and whose potatoes and strawberries
were being eaten by hungry army
which paid nothing for the feast.
The men who watch these little crea.
lures find lots Of things to interest
them, and it takes away the WEAKNESS
of their waiting. They find that mar
vellous changes often take place in the
insects. Some Of them alter their
form SO that you would not recognize
them for the same insect. One will at
first be short thick fly, with sharp
eyes. wings, and minute feeler like
an elephants trunk, and he will mex,
be worm without legs and no eyes.
IL Is always an easy matter to find out
what the bug is doing and what will
drive it away, but it is not always SC
easy to say where he comes from O,
how he happened to appear in certain
places. The day was in the insec
tary saw bug which had been fount
in California by boy while eating
