DIGNITY OF DINING.

Some 200 or 300 years ago Italy led
in cooking and France laughed and
Knocked at the Italian devotion to the
science Of the kitchen. Then came
days in France when masters of the
art of cooking, such as Bechameil,
serving Louis the Magnificent, and
Vatel, the famous steward of the prince
de Ccnde, ruled over the dinner table,
and great ladies thought it no indig-
nifty to prepare favorite dish.
The princess of Soubise invented the
soup now called after her, while the
princess of Conde gave her name to a
particular mode of serving a breast of
mutton. The duchess of Mailly, vying
with her, invented a special way of
dressing a leg of the animal. Louise
de la Vall:ere was skilled in the Gull
nary art

that she called in Pere La Chaise and
Pere Douillet, and the trio evolved the
duck all Douillet; this dish is famous
in history as the means CT weaning
the susceptible monarch from the
princess de Conde to the triumphant
Maintenon.
Moderation in manner of eating and
choice of food has not always charac-
terized men of history. Both Ma
poleon I. and Carlyle are said to have
ruined their digestions and tempers by
rapid eating. On the other hand, the
care with which Gladstone partakes of
the viands set before him has been &C
knoWledged over and over again as one
of the greatest factors which has
worked to prolong his life. s-..~.E. .

A SEA ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
Extraordinary Superstition Onco Preva-
lent In England.

Extraordinary Superstition Once Preva-
lent In England.
Tho curious superstition that there is
an ocean above tho clouds is illustrated
by the following strange story by an
old English writer: Zone Sunday the
people of a certain village were coming
out of church OH thick, cloudy day,
when they saw the anchor of ship
hooked to one of tho tom bstones-tho
cable, which was tightly stretched,
hanging down from the air. The people
were astonished, and while they were
consulting about it suddenly they saw
the rope move as though some one la
bored to pull up the anchor Tho an
Choir, however, still held fast by tho
stone, and IL great noise was heard in
the air, like the shouting of sailors
Presently sailor was seen sliding down
the cable for the purpose OF untixing
the anchor When he had just loosened
it, the Villagers seized hold of him, and
while i'll their hands ho quickly dieE,
just MS though he had been drowned.
About All hour after the sailors
above, hearing no more Of their com
radc, cut the cable and sailed away. In
memory of this extraordinary event tho
people CT the village made the hinges
of the church doors out CT tho iron of
the anchor. 3" 1t is further stated that
these hinges are still to be seen there"
bit of evidence much like Muucliau-
sens rope whCrcwith he once climbed
to the niccn If you doubted tho story,
you were confronted with the rope.
Thcic is another queer tale about
this aerial ocean. :. X merchant of Bris.
tol, it is said, set sail with his cargo
for Ireland. Some time after, while his
family we've ut supper, knife sudden
ly fell i'll through Il window Oh the ia
bic. When the merchant returned and
saw the knife, he declared it to be his
own and said that OH such day, at
such an hour, while sailing in an I'M
known part of the sea, he dropped the
knife overheard, and the day and tho
hour were found to be exactly the time
when it fell through the window" All
of which was once implicitly believed
by many and regarded as incontroyerti-
bic proof of the existence of sea above
the sky. Ono is at loss to conjecture
how that unknown part Of the sea-
connected with the rest of it. A phys
lcal geography showing this would be
no small curiosity. Post.

Outdoor Garments.

Of all forms i'll outdoor garments it
may be decisively laid down that short,
tight fitting coats, reaching to the waist,
with loose bell sleeves. are at the me-
ment most fashionable. Capes, pure and
simple, have practically departed, ex
cept as wraps, from the ranks of we'll
dressed women, but this close fitting
adaptation, having wide, capelike
sleeves, if indeed they can claim to be
called sleeves, is i'll the last cry of
everything modish. Whether chic little
mess jacket, loose sack or the short or
binary basqued coat, all are accompanied
by the wing sleeve.
AS the weather grows warmer wo
shall have these vetements with silk o.
velvet embroidered bodices, while the
bell sleeve will be of plated chiffon or
net i'll many colors. Mantelets of this
order are smarter than either cape or
Jacket and combine tho best points of
both.

How They Are Cultivated In tho Noun
tnins of Tripoli.
Harry Fem, the artist, has written Il
paper, entitled "Silk and Cedars," for
st. Nicholas, describing his visit to
the famous mountains of Lebanon.
Concerning the silk industry, which
plays such an important part in the
lives of the natives, Mr.. Fem says: AS
the time approaches for the silliworm
to hatch out the egg the family move
out of the house and camp under the
trees, giving up the entire establishment
to the worms, after having placed the
eggs Oh shelves mado of reedlike
bamboo. AT first tho young worms are
fed on finely chopped leaves, but as
they grow larger the leaves need only
be broken in two. The people have to
feed and watch the worms night and
day, or they wander in search of food
and get lost, and i'll the silence of the
night tho sound of the worms feeding
is like gently falling rain.
The worms fast three or four times
during this period, and about "a hours
is the length Of each fast. a curious
feature about their fast is their posture
They assume tho attitude of cobra
snake about to strike and remain rigid
ly fixed in that position for the cntiro
period. When they are ready to spin,
small branches are placed Oh the
shelves, and as the cocoons are formed
upon them the dead twigs seem to bear
golden fruit. When the worms get
through that part of the business, the
neighbors arc called in-something rs
to al old fashioned New England ap-
pie pairing bee. They call it "qtaf" in
Arabic-that is picking" and soon
You see piles of pale green, pure white
and golden yellow cocoons heaped upon
the floor. Later they may be spun into
hanks, but usually tho cocoons are sent
down the mountains to Tripoli or Da-
mascus, and after their 80 or 40 days
OF toll they, too, often have to sell tho
produce for next to nothing, as the Chi
nesc are always ready to undersell them.
Another curious uso Mr. Silkworm is
put to is to soak him in vinegar for
some hours, after which he is drawn ont
into so called "catgut' to mako smells
or leaders for fishhooks

of It's Characte ristics.

''Ter-ruth" made its appearance upon the
streets last night. Mr.. g. +. Smith had
announced next Tuesday as the first day
for the publication of his personal organ,
but he could not wait. His artist had
made such a pretty picture of him that
such thing as waiting until Tuesday was
impossible, and prospectus edition was
put out last evening. Naturally the art
list" adorned the first page with a heroic
picture of himself in his working clothes,
and the hammer and saw with which he
makes his pictures at his side. The picture
shows him to be very handsome sort or
fellow with a head about twice as large
as the rest of his body. He looks as
though he might make good carpenter
some day if he sticks 10 his job. Mr..
Smith never looked so Well in his life as
he does in the picture that adorns the other
outside page The artist" has given him
a look of Intelligence.
The intention apparently is TO make a
comic paper of 1t. At any rate, IL contains
one good Joke in the following announce
ment at the head of the editorial column
1.-The surplus earnings of this paper, II
any. over and above expense of publication,
viii be donated TO the charitable institu-
tions of Indianapolis.
IT is probable that the charitable insti-
tutions will go ahead with their plans Tor
making collections despite this promise.
