Flies Eggs for Jaded Palates.

A prime delicacy, and one not always to be bought, even in the season, is Q cream-colored or pink or even a deep red substance which looks like shad roe. It is cooked with a sauce, the chief ingredient of which is cayenne pepper. It looks inviting, its odor is delicious. You transfer a forkful to your mouth. YThe first bite convinces you that you have discovered the am- brosia of the gods. At the second you change your mind. Nothing but mott en metal is more fiery The dish is made from the eggs of fly which in fests the small streams and canals. These eggs attach themselves to the stems of the reeds and stalks of the wa ter grasses in the shallows and along the banks, whence they are gathered by those who make business of collecting them for the metropolitan market. The cantharis is an honest demon. He burns because that is his mission. but the edible fly is an insectIago, honest in seeming, but in reality a treaeherous scoundrel. There is here, however, a pregnant hint for the cook and the caterer. Out of these devils eggs the past master in the Lucullian art may compose dish, a sauce, or a continent fit to supply a new stimulant to the jaded palates of those who Hive to eat. .'' IN. Y. World.

penetieiarleg of Cheap Money.

Every period of the depreciation of the monetary unite has at once sent prices up, the prices of the merchant. who gets the news quickly, before those of the farmer, who gets the news more slowly, and a long time before the wages of the laborer who cannot afford to hold his labor out of the market till he gets a proportionate increase for it. Fixed incomes remain the same, and the rise of prices inficts great suffering on their recipients. Wages remain the same for a time and rise slowly, and in the meantime the laborers complain that prices have gone up so that they cannot afford to buy enough food and clothing. The farmer gets two prices for all he sells and pays two prices for all he buys, and is no better off than he was before the change. The bene- fieiaries are debtors on obligations in@ cured before the change, and these are not a very large class-nany of them are also creditors and lose out of one pocket while gaining into the other and the spectators, some of whom al- ways make profit in panics and crises and periods of sudden changes of values out of the losses of others.-N.

FIVE POINTS OF FINANCE
Some Propositions That Cannot Be (
 troverted.

Tine Courier-Journal has been H quested to republish the celebrated propositions laid down by Secrets Carlisle ia his speech at Bowling Grs May 9, 1895. Here they are:
 "F7irst-That there is not a free-coins country in the world to-day that Is not ? silver basis
 "Second-That there is not a gold-stal ard country in the world to-day that dl not use silver as money along with golE
 'gThird-That there is not a silyer-stal ard country in the world to-day that u any gold as money along with silver.
 'Fourth-That there is not sRF standard country in the world to-day II has more than one-third as much moI in circulation per capita as the Una States have: and
 "Fifth-That there is not a silver-stal erd counEy in the world to-day where7 laboring man receives fair pay forN days work.
 These propositions have never bF successfully controverted and ne will be. They show that the attemp' identification of free coinage at sixtt to one with bimetallism is a bag ideality. Louisville Courier-Journ

Snrine Eelf Hats

Many girls have appeared this spring wearing the regular mans soft felt hat in light gray, with black band around it. These are stylish and very beeom- ing and attractive in their proper place. Several maidens have been seen com hitting the error of wearing elaborate sapes, meant only for ''dressy" affairs, with the plain masculine headgear This is an unpardonable sin The felt hat belongs essentially to the tailor made or bicycle girl, and should only be worn on appropriate oceasions-the morning constitutional, the spin down the boulevard, the rainy day and others of like lature.-St Louis Republic.

Colonial Legal-Tcnder Notes.

We have seen how capricious were the tender laws of the colonial period. Virginia, for example, varied her prac- tice in the following manner:
 1633-Gold and silver the only legal tender.
 1642-Tobacco the only legal tender.
 1655 Tobacco, silver and wheat equally legal tender at fixed rates.
 1666-Peas, Indian corn, barley, oats and wound silk added to the preceding articles as legal tender at fixed rates.
 1727-Tobaceo notes legal tender for tobacco debts within the warehouse dis trict, but not elsewhere.
 1730-Tobaeco notes the sole legal tender for tobacco debts in the ware house district
 1755-Silyer legal tender for tobacco debts at a fixed rate. Maryland like wise had several varieties of legal tender, including this:
 1753-Inspected tobacco legal tender for debts at one-fourth higher rates than uninspected.-Ho White, in Money and Banking.

They Must Serve In All Cases Three
Years Apprenticeship.
The Austrians take no chances with
their BARRIERS, says the New York Wcrld.
They must be good, ana the BARRIERS
and Wigmal1ers' union OF Vienna sees
to it that they are. Provision is also
made in their code for women BARRIERS
who desire to carry OF the business Of
Of their husbands in case of the latter;s
death or illness.
But in order to do this the wife must
have been enrolled in the union as an aP-
prentice for three years. Apprentices,
by the rules of the union, must appear
in Vienna in the presence of judges of
the union and show their skill before
they arc allowed to open shops4of their
own.
A properly certified barber must have
a knowledge of and pass an examination
in shaving, hair-cutting, hair-curling
and wig-making, and during the period
before the issuance of a certificate the
poor and others who are frugal serve
as subjects for experiment.
At the examination the young men
have their razors dulled by four strokes
in a pine plank, and they must then
sharpen them. A subject is assigned to
each, who must be tonsorially perfect,
III the opinion of the judges, when the
apprentice has released him.
After this certificate is issued and
the apprentice serves two years as
iourneyman before he may open shop
as an employer. The average age of ap-
prentices when they begin to learn their
trade is 13 years.
