Harper,s for October.

A6eA - - ~
The October number of "Harper's Mag
azine' contains the first installment of
Mr.. du Maurierss l-ong-expected novel,
1.-THE Marian The opening scenes are
laid in a boys school in Paris in the
early ffties, and the hero is introduced at
the very beginning of his career. From
this fact and from the hint conveyed in
the introduction 1T seems not unlikely
that. Mr.. du Maurier, following the ex-
ample of Fielding and Thackeray, will
attempt in THE Marian to portray the
character of a man in the same catholic
spirit in which Tom Jones' and Pen
dennis were created.
In the opening paper for October. Fred
eric Remington relates some of his expe-
riences in hunting THE Blue Quail of the
Cactus as he found this game in north
ern Mexico. An important paper on "Elec-
~trtcity,' by r. r. Bowker, appears with
upwards of twenty iliustra lions. The pa

In American History" by Judge Walter
Clark, relates the forgotten story of the
Inflated expedition of f740, for the capture
Of Cartagena. Since his emancipation the
negro of the South has at least proved
his capacity for better things, and an in
tercsting phase of his development is
shown by Mrs. MISUNDERSTANDING
Jams in the paper called "a Black Set
tlement." Mr.. Samuel II. Scudder shows,
with the aid of illustrations, some of the
more curious varieties of the cricket. and
describes the mOde OF DVing and the va
ried chirp Of this noisy little visitor to all
quiet country places. Octave Thanet con-
| tributes a story In which the. Sheriff Amos
Wickiiff again appears. this time as the

from the tolls of a r~ascaI1y advenfurer.

TO BOOM TIE OLD FOURTH.

Messrs. James E.. Banks. w. G. Meyers
and C. W. Riemann. the Executive Com
mittee of the Food Show to be held in
Oakland Rink in November, under the
auspices of the Merchants Protective
Association, held a conference last night
in the Avenue House with the Executive
Committee of the Hudson City Business
Mems Association regarding the space the
latter association is to take at the show.
After a lengthy discussion it was decided
to set apart ten spaces in the northwest
corner of the rink. Their idea in taking
such a large amount of room is to boom
the Old Fourth District. That section of
the city has a number of manufacturing
concerns which very few people outside
of the district know anything about.
At a recent meeting OF the Business
Mems Association numerous plans were
discussed to boom the district. and after
going carefully into them all it was de-
oided to exhibit at the Food Show. The
space will cost $500.

Large Rose Ru.h

1t is well known that California is the
land of fruits and flowers. so 1t will not
be a surprise to read about an immense
rose bush in California which looks like
al enormous bouquet. At the top on one
side hang clusters of pure white roses,
blooming in profusion. Pink roses hang
in gay garlands at the top on the other
side. All over the bush are branches Of
roses of other lines and coiors. The deli

two varieties of Homer roses, the Pau
line, Lebau, the Black Prince, the Cas-

riety and attest by their prolific blooms
to the virility of the stock upon which
they were grated. The owner Of the rose
bouquet is H. l.. Barker. who Is connect
ed with the State Bureau Of Mining.
Once there were thirteen distincet va
rieties of roses on the bush, but the tea
roses grated on proved TO be short-lived.
and only the harder varieties have sur

experiment with plants and this rose
bush Is about fifteen years old. Branch

SAVING WASTED STEAM.
A Novel scheme of Heating q New
England Cotton MILL.

The utilization of the waste heat of a
steam plant for purposes which would
otherwise require the expenditure of live
steam is one Of the problems repeatedly
confronting the engineer. A novel scheme
of mill heating was brought to public at
tention in a paper read by George w.
Weeks before the New England Cotton
Manufacturers Association. The author
describes a plant that has been in opera
ton at one of his cotton mills for two
years, where the waste heat of the con-
densing water is utilized for hefting the
mill, and, furthermore, where the current
of air for the purpose is derived from that
OF the main driving engine. The system
thus makes use not only of wasted steam.
but of wasted power.
The heater is situated In the air duct
leading to the fire, and consists of eight
sections, each forty-two inches high by
twenty-eight inches wide, with 24 one
half-inch pipes, each ninety inches long.
These sections are connected by pipe with
the hot well, and so arranged that the
end covers the diaphragm causes the hot
water to dow by gravity through half of
the pipes in one direction and return
throug the other half, n then continue
through the. other sections in the same
manner, and discharglng where the air
enters; so that the air is always coming
In contact with hotter water.
During the time this plant has beer
used 1t has required 10 repairs and has
demonstrated that 1t win heat and VEN
tilate the mill during the running hours
with no expenditure for steam or power
beyond three horsepower added to the
engine. that 100 degrees temperature is
sufficient to satisfactorily heat the mill.
and that the air can be heated to this
temperature. with water from the hot
we'll, with no loss of power. and the ex-
periments tend TO show that 1t Is more
economical (when the uptakes are bull
into the wallis to send a larger amount
of air at a lower rather that a smaller
smaller amount at a higher temperature.
Air heated at 81 ITO degrees at heater
is delivered to the fourth story at s4ls
degrees, showing a loss of only 8 2-10
degrees, whit air al 1874 degrees at heater
was delivered at fourth story at only us.
showing a loss of II degrees.
Much of he steam used to run the
small blower engine. Immediately after
shutting down at night. and before start
ing up in the morning. is obtained with
GU textra cost, as considerable of this
would otherwise be blown OF from the
boilers at these times.

q PARIS oArEs.
An Inside View of the Famous Gull
sim of the French CAPITAL.

All visitors to Paris rave about the
deaicacy of the food and dalnriness Of the
service. They do not know some of the
ways followed by and chefs.
At the lower class of Paris r~etaurants a
very ingenious fraud has been in prec-
tsce for half a century. They make beef
tea or bouillon without ~beef-warm
water colored and favored with burned
onions and caramel as bouillon. To supply
the little grease bubbles which connois-
seurs demand was the only trouble. Fin
ally z cook hit on the ingenious device
of blowing a spoonful of fish oil over the
soup. The oil Immediately forms in tiny
beads on the surface and there Is the
soup. Nowadays every cafe Of this sort
mas its employee aux yeaux de bouillon,
whose sole duty Is to make the little eyes
or bubbles OF grease on the soup.
ParisianS of a certain class are inn
mensely fond Of ham, 50 much so that the
number of hams eaten In Paris could not
be furnished by all the pigs killed in
France. ever allowing for the shoulders
French practice. The demand is supplied
by buying up ola ham bones and ingeni-
ously inserting them into pieces of
picked pork which are trimmed into
and then sold for ham. In this way a bone
does duty for hundreds of times. Still the
supply of bones was limited and it was
i~nconvenient to be put out IT ones neigh
Dor did not return the ham bone which
the dealer relied upon securing the day
before to recover for you. So a man con-
ceived the idea of manufacturing ham
bones wholesale and made a fortune from
the sale of these artificial foundations.
Nowadays, therefore, ham is plentiful in
Paris.
Another genius observed that cocks
combs, which are much used in ragouts.
co1uilles of cockscombs and vol-au-vents,
were very scarce, and therefore high
priced. He t~hereupon set aSout manufae-
turing them. The same method is used
in London, New York. and New Orleans.
The palates of buKlocks, cows. calves,
sheep or goats are taken, bianched, macer-
ated, the flesh detached, then put under
a machine which stamps them into cocks
combs calculated to deceive anyone. The
only way of detecting the fraud Is by not
ing that O. the real cockscomb the
papiilae exists on both sides and only on
one side on the artificial ones.
The same man, in his intercourse with
porlterers, learned that II the dealers did
not sell their turkeys Immediately on re-
ceips they lost about .one-fifth of the price
every day, for while the meat was still
as good, experienced cooks refused to buy
birds whose legs did not look shiny and
black as they do on the newly-killed fowl.
The longer dead the bird the grayer be-
come his legs. This man at once invented
a. varnish which makes turkey legs stay
bright and black indefinitely and the
c~unningest cooks have been deceived by
the result, while the dealers profits rose
accordingly. The man Is making his for
tune through his inventions in this line.

ONE of the worst phases Of the third
ticket movement is the effect on the AS
sembly ticket. If the Gold men poll any
thing of a vote-say the 1900 which we
give them on the National candidates
they may seriously imperil the election
of a Democratic delegation from this
county to Trenton. Last year. it is true,
every Democratic Assemblyman had over
$500 plurality, but this year, if we read
the indications Alright, figures are going
to be much closer.
Now. this year Democratic defeat on
the Assembly ticket would be peculiarly
disastrous. The Equal Taxation fight,
which has been carried on for years by
the Democracy is at least nearing frui-
ton. The struggle made last year by
John wahl Queen and the devoted mi
nority which he led resulted in the APP
pointment of the State Commission which
is now Investigating the subject.
The fight has been pursued in gallant
fashion, and largely by Democratic in
s~trumentality. 1t is believed that it will
result, in the coming session, in remedial
legislation. Everything points that way.
Now. do the third party Democrats of
Hudson propose to give the Republican
party entire control over that act, and the
entire credit for it? Is the Democracy
to be robbed of its laurels after years Of
toll and combat?
These are questions which the Third
Party gentlemen had better take deeply
to heart before proceeding further on the
plan of Samson in the House of the
Phillistines.
