A GastronomicaI Experiment THAT rallied.

A Gastronomical Experiment That Failed.
Two French epicures living near
Toulouse were not satisfied with the
flavor given to the turkey by it's stuffing
of truffles and recently determined to
try whether the truffie flavor could not
be impaired to the bird by proper sys-
tenn of diet They selected a fat young
turkey and fed it for two months with
the most delicate truffles that the south
of France could produce. The turkey
seemed to enjoy the experiment. At the
end of the two months the bird was
killed, roasted carefully and delicately
and brought upon the table. Each of
the experimenters eagerly took wing
and found to his disgust that the turkey
had absolutely no truffle flavor. New

PAINTED ON THE PLATFORM.
Col. II. NJ. Johnston Taken Ill In tn c
Midst of His Readings.

Col Richard Malcolm Johnston, while
in the midst of his readings before a brill
liant audience at the Guards hall last
night, fell in a faint caused by exhaust
ion.
He had delivered his lecture on The
Lover in George Eliot's novel. Toward
the end he appeared to be suffering from
weakness, and at its conclusion he sank
into a chair in a state of exhaustion.
In spite of the earnest solicitation of
Hon. Pope Barrow, who sat with him
on the stage, Col. Johnston attempted to
continue with a reading from his well
known collection of dialect stories, THE
Dukesborough Tales" His strength,
however, was unequal to the effort, and
he fell forward in faint in the arms of
Mr. Barrow and of his daughter Mrs.
Walter G. Charlton, who hurried to his
assistance. The audience at once rose,
and left the hall in respectful sympathy.
expressions of regret being heard on all
sides.
Col. Johnston was removed to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Charlton. and at midnight
was resting quietly. Owing to his lack
of strength, however, he will probably be
confind to his room for a day or two. He
was not feeling very well during the af-
ternoon, and members of his family en-
deavored to dissaude him from giving the
lecture Feeling that it was a duty he
owed his audience, however, he insisted

but whipped his horse and drove away.
Several accidents OF a like character
have taken place on Bull street recently,
chiefly attributed TO the carelessness Of
drivers Of vehicles. 1t Is a noticeable fact
that the majority of coal carts and heavy
wagons, almost Invariably drive to the left
when going around the squares and leave
very little room between the vehicle and
the curb stone of the sidewalk for a BIZ
cyclist to pass on the right.
1t is noticeable also that young girls, and
boys as well, are rather reckless riders on
their wheels. and many people wonder how
they escape injury.
