4 CHICKEN FOR ONE.

Pigmy for Epicures Now Served by
 Paris Restaurateurs.
 It is generally conceded that a small bird makes very dainty meal for one person, and it must have been source of regret to many that it was seldom possible to obtain chicken just large enough for one man with a moderat" appetite. The difficulty has now been removed, in Paris at least, says the New York Journal.
 Many Paris hotels and restaurants are now introducing as a novelty into their menus what might be described as lone man, one chicken" Everyone who understands anything of the appe- lite of man understands that he likes best to tackle bird single-handed With the ordinary fowl this was, of course, impossible, so the ingenious chef proceeded to develop, or rather curtail, the spring chicken, and now a three-months-old bird is served to each guest, just as though it were a quail or blower. That there is any stability in the body of so young and tender a chicken can hardly be admit ted; but the novelty has been greatly appreciated, especially by Americans in Paris, and there is already demand, and a great one, for fedgling barn doors.

 When he taps for only one or two the thing is child's play, but when he fas to represent d whole troop it is then that he earns his money in the sweat of his brow. Then must he bound from spot to spot, reduplicate, triplicate, sextuplicate his single personality, and swell and hasten his blows, until he produces perfect illusion for the ear, and you would swear that crowd of emulous nlasons were continuing mer- rily to roof the house. It must be a strange sight from an upper window.

AN OLD PLOT.
But in This Case a New Heroine Was
 Worked In.


 Worked In.
 Young story-writers are apt to begin literary career by telling, in some form or other, the story which follows. But it must have taken real genius to make a COW the heroine. This particular story is attributed by the Philadelphia Times, in which we find it, to Texas locomo- tive engineer.
 The engineer was running his train at full speed, when, he says, his atten- tion was attracted by a COW which seemed to be coming straight down the track to meet the train. He put his hand on the valve and puffed out three sharp whistles.
 Still the COW came on, believing at every step, and acting altogether in an unusual manner. As much from curi- osity as anything else, the engineer slowed up and sent the fireman ahead to see what was the matter with the COW. No sooner did the COW see that the speed of the train was slackening, and that the fireman was going to investi gate, than she turned and ran straight back down the track, stopping now and then, looking over her shoulder and switching her tail as much as to say: Come on!"
 The man followed, and by and by saw the COW stop short at a high trestle. Going up, he discovered another COW which had got herself fastened in the trestlework squarely across the rail-
 As soon as the animal was released. the two COWS lost no time in scampering away,

THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.


 The affection of the collector for the objects of his zeal has been amusingly illustrated by a story told of Melingue, a French tragedian who had a mania for gathering together great quantities of old vestments, arms and similar an tique apparatus. Among his treasures was beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles V.
 Having worn this sword in a piece in which he was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak he bore the precious sword of Philip II.
 Coming around corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneak thieves. He was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 What! Betray to these rascals that l have such precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after all, and then they would get it. I will keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword inside his cloak, and with the other hand let down his umbrella. With this as a weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to flight.
 In this case the umbrella turned out te be mightier than the sword.

CARPETS WERE UNKNOWN.
How the Fourteenth Century Mansions
 Were Furnished.

were E urulbneus
 Carpets in the fourteenth century were unknown luxuries, says Good Words. but the fashion of strewing the apart ments with rushes was being gradually abandoned. Rushes were still used in the retainers' hall, but for the better rooms sweet-scented herbs and fragrant twigs were usually employed.
 In the fourteenth century windows were apertures filled with glass. so as to admit light, but to exclude wind. The walls also were frequently hung with cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates of the room from the many currents of air that penetrated the strong but bad ly built walls. We learn from various ancient documents that it was the duty of the serving men and pages to sweep out the principal apartments, but as the use of water is rarely mentioned, damp and fragrant leaves and twigs must have aided not only in collecting the dust, but also toward refreshing the at mosphere in such costantly closed rooms; fresh air being only admitted through the doors opening on to the battlements or balconies.
 From old inventories at Thurleigh and elsewhere we ascertain how scant ily furnished were these ancient man. sions, although they seem to have been abundantly supplied with fiagons and drinking cups in gold, silver and finely engraved pewter, besides an infinite number of black jacks or cups made Of leather.

Red Mans Medicine.

The Indian pharmacopeia comprised thoroughwort, spurge and Indian hemp, used as emetics; the bark of the horse chestnut and butternut, used as caohartics. They were also acquainted with many poisons, most of which they used on their weapons. For asthma they employed tobacco and sassafras: for coughs, slippery elm; for dropsy, the wild gooseberry; for wounds, pow dered puff balls. They treated boils with onion poultices.

 Prescott climate during the summer ls delightful, the nights being always cool enough to enable one to secure re- freshing sleep. Many people rent tents and camp out among the pines, which makes the expense of living very small. Desirable camping grounds can be found within radius of one mile from Prescott.

Produce of Fractions of a Penny.

The old lesson as to little drops of water, little grains of sand' making the universe has had one more exempli- fication. It is the custom of the Bank of England not to pay fractions of a penny. In the case of dividends on government stock these fractions have in the course of years amounted to one hundred and forty thousand pounds, which amount, it is stated, was a few years ago paid over to the chan cellor of the exchequer.

THE TAPER.
Keeps Up an Industrious Racket During
 Absence of Workmen.


 A man fell from the housetop in the city of Aberdeen, and was brought into a hospital with broken bones. He was asked what was his trade, and replied that he was tapper. No one had ever heard of such thing before, says the Amateur Emigrant; the officials were filled with curiosity; they besought an explanation. It appeared that when party of skaters were engaged upon a roof they would now and then be taken with fancy for the public house. Now, a seamstress, for example, might slip away from her work and no one be the wiser, but if these fellows adjourned the tapping of the mallets would cease, and thus the neighborhood would be advised of their dereliction. Hence the career of the tapper. He has to do the

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale vet lat prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation.

AN AMI0ABLE SETTLEMENT.

The amicabe settlement of the diff
cuIties between the Pacific Rolling mill
Company and its men, which for a time
threatened to produce serious strike, is
matter of no little qualification to the
whole City. This is no time for the be-
ginning of any misunderstanding be-
tween labor and capital in California. We
are on the verge of new era of pros
perity. but it will not come to US unless
all who are engaged in our industries can
work together in harmony.
The action OF both parties to the contro-
versy in this instance has been wise.
Neither the men nor their employers have
demanded from the other complete sur
render. After a full discussion of the
situation on both sides, terms have been
agreed upon which are fair to each. The
men therefore will return to work and the
mills will go forward as usual. There will
be some reduction in wages, but this the
men recognize is necessary in order that
the industry of the mills may be carried
on with profit, and it will not seriously
affect any large number OF employees.
Intelligent workingmen understand that
the evil conditions OF the Democratic tariff
still affect American industries, and that
we cannot return at once to the prosper
Gus conditions which prevailed under the
Mckinley tariff. 1t will require some

time for us 10 get back to the level of
profits and wages which prevailed under
the protective system. This, however. is
something we can look forward to in the
near future, and in the mean time both
labor and capital must be content to do
the best they can under existing circum-
stances.
The friendly spirit which prevails be-
tween the men and the Pacific Rolling
mill Company since the arrangement OF
the terms of resuming work is made evil
dent by the statement of Mr.. Mcmahon, a
foreman of the mill, who il speaking of
the reduction IN wages. said: "It is just
this way. The price OF iron is low and the
price of labor in the East is low, and to
compete here the price of labor had to be
cut. Mr.. Noble has always put up wages
when the price of iron warrants it. l
have seen it done three times voluntarily
in this MILL
The example thus set will doubtless have
its effect in any future difficulties between
capital and labor in this State and will go
far toward inducing both parties to ar
range some amicable solution for them.
1t gives promise. therefore, of a completer
harmony between employers and en-
ployes in the great industries OF the State
and may be counted as a good augury for
the advancement of the manufacturing
interests of California in the approaching
revival of industry and prosperity which
will follow the re-enactment of protec-
tive tariff

THE HORSE SHOW.

In the great success of the third annual
horse show San Francisco has good reason
to congratulate herself. The display OF
equine beauty and training, the splendid
horseman ship, the magnifcence of the
many kinds OF vehicles, the loveiness oi
California ladies crowning all, made up a
show superlat1ve in It's excellence.
We are told that the age of electric car
riages is close upon us; we s,e in the BIZ
cycle that men are much given to me-
chanical methods of Iocomotion, and there
is talk of the passing of the horse, but as
long as men have hearts the horse will
never pass from their admiring possession
and loving care. The desire to ride and to
drive something live and lovable will
surely not give way altogether to the
utilities of misunderstanding unless men
become themselves little more than ma
chimes.
The display in all classes at the show
was very creditable to our horsemen, and
the people of California may be proud and
glad of this proof that so much of tie
wealth and energy of the State has been
used to the encouragement OF horse breed
ing.
In the tanbark ring of the Pavilion the
continuous succession of attractions for
four days was worth travelling far to see.
From the tiny, dandy, dancing ponies,
pleasing to all, but specially to the chill.
dren, all through the programme up TO
the ponderous drafthorses with their great
breasts and broad loins, the scene was
delightful in its interest and beauty.
The proud stations with paving hoofs
and necks clothed with thunder; the
well-bred saddlers, which in every move
ment gave the beholder sense of how
they can send the thrill of their own splen-
did vitality into the pulses OF their riders
the swift, easy, graceful gliding of the
high roadsters as they drew the
airily light and noiseless modern vehicles
the stylish bearing of the high stepping
and highly trained tandem performers
the stately swing of the carriage horses
with their satin skins and the glitter and
pleasing jingle of their costly harness; the
laundering rush of our fire horses as they
dashed three abreast into the ring with
startling suddenness; the pomp of the
matched four-in- hands pulling grand
coaches and haughtily conscious of their
glory, all this, together with the equestrian
mastery of the men who 'witched the
world with noble horsemanship," made UP
a pleasure giving which will linger long in
the memories of those who enjoyed it.
