Japan and Australia.

An Australian gentleman, Mr.. Aud
ley Coote, sends to the Melbourne Ar
gus all account of recent visit to ia
pan, in which he says: II was travelling
with friend of mine who speaks Jap
anese fuently when he asked me If l
could guess what number OF Japanese
military and naval officers who were in
the car were conversing about. 1t is
Australia, he continued, and they are
saying that you have large country,
fine pastoral lands, great forests, and
in the north excellent land for the Gull
tivation of rice, coffee, tea and other
tropical products; that you are like the
dog in the manger among nations, and
that some one will have to take good
part of Australia to develop it. My
friend also told me that the officers
spoke about it being great pity to see
so fine a country lying waste, and
though they recognized that England
was useful nation to have as an ally,
still. if i'll feeling arose, the policy they
ought to pursue Was to send several Of
their battleships down south to annex a
large portion of north Australia. These
statements | found were only one ex-
preston of public opinion in Japan in
regard to Australia, and when you con-
slider the matter it is not surprising that
a small country, teeming with its
45, 900, 900, should regard Australasia,
with only 100000, with certain
amount of covetousness. -

POISONOUS POTATOES.
An Alkaloid Called Solanine Does Grca
Damage Sometimes.


1t is not very rare to see serious ac-
cidents happen by poisoning from tho
use of potatoes in places where food is
supplied by contract, as IN schools, prls-
ons and barracks, and astonishmcnt is
expressed that this precious and highly
estimated food stuff should he capable
of doing so much damage. 1t is we'll to
know that the potato, even when abso-
lutely sound, contains certain amount
of a vegetable alkaloid called solanino.
The remarkable point is that this sol
anime IS much more abundant i'll sum-
mer than in winter; whereas it amounts
to .044 per kiloeram from November
to February it reaches the figure Of 2S0
in July and August. This evil would
not be very great if tho production Of
the alkaloid were not still further in
creased by the process of termination
and putrefaction Of the potato The use
of potatoes deteriorated in this way may
give rise to cases of poisoning character
lied by vomiting, diarrhea, fever, di-
lated pupils, commissions and profuse
sweating.
1t is usually in the months of Juno
and July that these accidents occur, at
the moment when the potatoes of the
preceding year have begun to germinate
and rot The contractors of the above
mentioned establishments send these po-
tatoes there, since they have no longer
any marketable value, because the new
potatoes are already large and reduced
in price.
1t is therefore necessary to watch
these supplies in most careful manner
and to refuse potatoes that show any
black or softened spots or that have be-
gun to terminate. As a general thing
potatoes used in eating should be as
fresh as possible Paris Herald.

How the Hobolsen Turtle Club Conoocts
It's Time Honored Turtle Soup.
Good livers will be interested in this
recipe.
By it $50 pounds Of turtle will pro-
duce 80 gallons of soup. 1t is the recipe
used by the Hoboken Turtle club for
many generations, and the original
recipe is now in the hands of the stew
ard Of the club:
Take kettle of 80 gallons capacity
and fill nearly full of water. Put in 8
sets of calves feet (92), well cleaned,
and 80 necks of beef To this add 2
dozen parsley, dozen leeks. half peck
Of small onions and sat and pepper to
suit Boil the whole to rags, about 20
hours.
Kill the turtle, scald OFF the thin out
side glazed portion and take off fins. Put
the shell, cut up into small pieces, into
boiling water until thScitron comes off.
Then add the turtle meat, also cut in
small pieces. To this add the meat of s
calves heads which have been sufli-
oiontly boiled to remove the skin.
Strain off the stock through q fine
sieve. Strain twice out of pot and back
again. Now add oitron and boil three
hours. Thon add turtle meat and calves
heads and boil the whole until the cit
ron is wholly done.
Add these spices: Quarter pound each
of ground allspice, ground cloves, ground
mace and ground nutmegs, a pound of
sweet marjoram and the same of thyme
and summer savory, with black and
cayenne pepper to taste.
Put the spices into two small salt
bags and drop into the pot until satis-
factorily seasoned, taking out and put
ting in again from timo to timo and
occasionally squeezing the bags into the
pot.
After adding tho turtle meat and
calves heads boil five hours until all
the sour taste is gone. Boil over slow
fire and be sure to keep well stirred to
avoid burning.
When cooked and poured into vessels,
let it get perfectly cool before covering
up or touching with II spoon. 1t should
assume gelatinous consistency. Keep
at same temperature. Use , gallons each
Of claret, sherry and brandy.

The Deafness Of White Cats.

Though had often heard of it, l
never was fully satisfied that oil white
cats are naturally deaf until recently, "
said scientific gentleman who devotes
considerable of his time TO experiment.
ing with the lower order of animals.
81 was aware that Professor Bell, in
his original experiments in connection
with the telephone, had ascertained and
stated that his experience with white
cats was that they were all either deaf
or very deficient il hearing, and that
other experi:nentor5 in the same direc-
ton had reached similar conclusions.
To satisfy myself I recently secured in
all 90 white cats and experimental on
them, one at 4 time.
Gin every case found them stone
deaf. In carrying the experiment farther
! found that white dogs and white horses
are deficient i'll hearing, and that many
of them are entirely deaf. So are white
rats and white mice am confident l
do not oyerstate it il regard to white
cats, though l have only personally ex-
perimcnted with %, and Of course can
only speak positively in regard to them.
don't hazard much, however. when l
make the bold statement that all white
cats are deaf. "-Washington Star,

Tho Broken Wheel.

a. N. Pearce, one of the Oldest Asso-
ciated Press operators, tells all interest
ing story TO illustrate how important q
place the operator upon the railway lines
occupies, even the operators in the small
and lonely stations where no train stops
except it is tagged
People who travel on the cars, he
said, "have 10 idea what close shaves
the trains have every day. When ! first
began work for the railways, l was To-
Gated at a little station - miles from
Batavia called Byron. Eight miles east
Of Byron was the station Of Bergen.
This was on the New York Central. 1t
happened that just beyond Byron there
was high hill 1t was difficult for
trains to mount, and they sometimes had
to wait there for another train to come
along and help them over the hill. One
nigh5 1 received q telegraph message
from the operator at Bergen that as the
train was passing he noticed from the
sound that one of the wheels on one Of
the cars was in bad shape. He suggested
that I stop the train.
Acting upon his suggestion, l put
ont my flag and stopped the train. The
engineer was pretty sulky, and the con-
ductor got off and wanted to know what
III hades l had stopped them there for.
l told them the message had received.
They cursed some and started out to look
for the broken wheel.
"A broken wheel was a serious matter
going over that hill, with the possibil-
ity of plunging the train off the track
and rolling it down the precipice. As it
happened the conductor had his wife
and child aboard too Well, he locked
down one side Of the train, and we look
ed down the other without success. But
in looking down one OF the sides we had
bad light, and So taking the light, 1
went down again and found quarter
of one of the wheels broken.

up and saw that wheel he picked me up

How a Letter May BE Recalled.

The public is not as familiar with its
privileges about postal matters rs might
be supposed, says the Boston Transcript.
Many times people would like to recall
letter after it has been mailed. This
can be done, even if the letter has reach
ed the postoffice of its destination. At
every postotfice there are what arc called
Withdrawal blanks u On application
they will be furnished, and when de-
posit is made to cover the expense, the
postmaster will telegraph to the post
master at the letters destination asking
that it be promptly returned. The ap-
plicant first signs this agreement: "It
is hereby agreed that, if the letter is re-
turned to me, will protect you from
any and all claims made against you
for such return and will fully indemni
fly you for any loss you may sustain by
reason of such action. And herewith
deposit s. to cover all expenses incur
red and will deliver to you the envel-
ope of the letter returned. In mary
cases persons have made remittances to
fraudulent parties or irresponsible firms,
not learning their true character until
after the letter had gone, and have sue
ceeded in recalling them.

4 Famous BrIgand.

The famous brigand Tiburzi of Italy,
who was recently killed by the police,
had been a brigand for 40 years. For a
long time he was the real ruler of a
large district He imposed taxes upon
the population and in return guaranteed
public order. Every one paid Willingly,
and there were no longer robberics or
crimes of any kind He constituted HIM
self the local police force AT the cleo
tions of 1893 be took over the political
arrangements of the district. III fact, he
became the grand elector. He brought
out his candidate, instructed all his sub
jects to vote for him, and the result was
magnificent victory. In the last few
months he frequently paid visits to
Rome, Florence, Paris and other cities
for pleasure. The police who killed him
owed their triumph to the treachery of
one of his bandit companions.

indicated.

"Why is it," asks an exchange. "that
man will sometimes give 5000 for q
Sc Officer"
Easily answered: To beat the fellow
who said he couldn't get it. Here is an
instance: There lived in certain Geor-
gia town a man who had no desire
whatever for office-who wouldn't have
gone to congress with free ticket-but
one day friend came to him and said
"Jones says the reason you never ran
for Office was that you knew you could
never be elected. y
That reused his ire. Jones was pop
ular man and was in the race for ordi-
nary, an Office which paid about 5000
per year in that town.
"I'll show him'' exclaimed the oiti-
zen, and he Immediately announced
himself a candidate for ordinary.
The race cost him exactly $4,000, but
he won, and, with smile of satisfac-
ton, hired Jones, the confident but de-
feated candidate, to transact the bust
ness of the office for him.
He was vindicated. Atlanta Consti-

FISHES That Shoot Insects.

The jaculator fish, which is found in
the lakes Of Java, uses its month as q
squirtgun and is a good marksman. If
a stake or pole is put in the water with
the end projecting three feet above the
surface and beetle or fly is placed on
the top of the pole, the water will soon
be swarming with finny gunners. Pres
emily one comes to the surface, observes
its prey and measures its distance. Then
it screws its moath into very funny
shape, discharges stream Of fluid and
knocks the fy or beetle into the water,
where it is instantly deyoured by the
successful shooter or some of its hungry
companions. Philadelphia Press.
