Those doing business between New

INTRODUCED By STEVENSON.
The Housekeeper May Now Add
Fennel and Tussock Grass to Her
List of Vegetables.

An esculent which has begun to ap-
pear largely upon the tables of people
addicted to gastronomic novelties is
Italian fennel, popularity known as
sweet fennel. In the green grocers'
establishments uD town Italian fennel
is still a rarity. Italians have always
affected fennel. and its introduction
here was due TO a Well-known chef of
Genoese extraction. 1t largely takes
the place of celery, TO which grateful
vegetable il bears resemblance. Fen
mel is an acquired taste. At the first
eating one is forcibly reminded of the
paregoric of ones faraway past, or of
the occasional absinthes in which one
has INDUCED. In fact fennel is highly
suggestive of the absinthe flavor. In
addition to being served up celery fash
ion, fennel is also used for salad our-
poses. The leaves and young sprouts

anists IL may be said that fennel is
foeniculum dulce, a genus of the UNI
belliferous plants. allied to dill. It
bears a pale yellow flower. so that in
serving it up in celery vases one might
do so flowers and all, thereby producing
a pleasing effect.
AN EDIBLE GRASS.
Another delightful, but, as yet, cost
ly, dainty for the dinner or luncheon
table-and one which the world of fash
ion owes to the late Robert Louis Ste
venson-is tussac grass. At a recent
Mob Hill banquet in San Francisco
the grass was served up in two ways,
and several of the San Francisco mar

stock of vegetables. The grass is a ma

is moderate. In addition to its edible
qualities il makes a very handsome

terra incognita." In the fiat earth plct-
ure, the North polar region is seen to
be a small region of eternal cold In
yle center of the circular world.
Alexander Gleason, the sage of Nj
agara street, Buffalo, gave long and
hard study to this great problem Of the
earth's surface, and spent much money
In publishing books and collecting in
formation. At one time he advertised
In a New York paper for sea captains
who had made tho trip from the West
African coast around Cape Horn, his
desire being to prove that the distance
was much greater than it would be if
the earth were a sphere. The informa-
ton which he obtained seemed to be
satisfactory to himself, though 1t did
not convince many scientists and geog-
raphers.
The principal arguments advanced
by the fiat earth theorists are that a
ship might seem to sail around a ball
when it merely sailed around a circle;
that all the effects of day and night
could be produced by a fixed SUI shin

longest rivers have a descent of only
a few feet.
They say that the phenomenon at sea
of the ship rising" or disappearing is
to be explained by refr2ction, and that
if the earth were spherical thu com-
pass would moi point north and south.
These theorists assert that Sir Isaac
Newton was crazy, and Calico and Co
lumbus mistaken; that if the earth
were a revolving globe, a ~projectile
thrown vertically upward would not
fall on the spot from which it was
hurled.
And all of these propositions are
backed UP by copious quotations from
the Bible, such as the four angles, at
the four corners of the earth, the four
winds of heaven, the angels that as

side of the earth having no sun is. saw

and damnation, and that it is reached
only through the bottomless pit.

Feeding Fish to Seals.

Since the seal family at the ZOO has
increased to seven members the big
tanks in which they reside are sought
out by great numbers of visitors, and
especially at 4 o'clock each afternoon
the crowds gather around to see Keep
er Geiger perform with his pets. At
that hour the keeper comes out with a
bucket of fish in his hand, trots along
a plank over the surface of the water
to a mound of rocks in the center of
the tank and assumes a heroic pose on
top Of the eminence. Then with an in
~troductory bow to the audience he
whistles to the seals and distributes the
fish. The seals cluster about him at
the base of the mound in a pictures r
group and reach up their heads to T.,
ceive the food, which he deity tosses
down their yawning mouths. If the
fish go in head first they are gulped
down with an avidity that would put
the patron of an Eighth street lunch
counter to shame, but if by chance they
strike the other way about the scales
are apt to catch in the rough upper sur
face of the seals mouth and cause mo-
mentary choking. When the fish are

take but invariably swallow them the

EATS EGGS BY THE DOZEN.
Ernest Miller's Strange Appetite for
Hen Fruit.

Ernest Miller of San Francisco is
the champion egg-eater of the world.
He has just proved his right to the
title by %devouring s~eventy-eight eggs
at II meal, says the New York jour-
nal. This is by no means the extent
of Miller's powers. He demonstrated
the fact as long ago as July, 1895, when
he ate this bill of fare in it's entirety:
Twenty-eight eggs, a plate OF soup,
a huge dish of macaroni, a large por-
ton of stuffed VEAL. a t~hree-pound
tenderloin steak, a loaf of French bread
and a liberal amount of Neufchatel
cheese. In addition to these solids
Miller drank three cups of coffee and
several glasses of water. 1t was the
first time he had given real evidence
of his capacity for food.
Miller has no desire to pose as a freak,
and indeed has none of the appearance
of one. There is nothing gross about
him. He is not stout but of athletic
frame and possessed of great strength.
It is said no man in the employ of the
Clay street (San Francisco marketmen,
LOT WuOLu lie WOrkS, can perform any
thing like the amount of labor that he
finds a matter of ease every day. In
dissecting a beef or any other animal
that is food for humanity he is in the
first rank Of experts. Miller had al
ways given evidence of a good appetite
but never really tested his power until
the enormous meal described was de.
voured by him, as the result of a wager
with Joseph Werthimer, one of his EN-.
ployers. When Werthimer lost his bet
he concluded to try Miller in another
way, so he bet him $25 to $12.50 that

he couldn't walk to the San Francisco
turn, a distance of eleven and one-halt
miles, within three hours. During the
course of this walk he was to smoke
SIX strong cigars. This feat Miller &C.
complished easily. Il did not know
h [ could do in the line of smok-
ing when | started" said he, in speak
ing of the incident, 'and so I puffed
away like a locomotive getting up
steam in a hurry, until l came to the
end of the second cigar. l had to
smoke them down to a stump of less
than an inch. The walking part of the
contract was as soft a snap as the
smoking. I reached the almshouse in
just one hour and three minutes after
leaving the starting point. The trip
out was largely upgrade, and if l had
wanted | could have made the return
in about three-quarters of an hour, but
| took it easy coming back and stop
ped at several places to take a drink.
The half-dozen cigars were nearly all
smoked when l got to the almshouse."
To win S. Miller next smoked six
cigars that were first soaked in brandy
and then %drugged, but they produced
no effect whatever. All these achieve.
mcnts have won so much admiration
for Miller's powers that his friends

plhS VI luhdWdyS .,
and from being an object of almost
universal aversion and suspicion, bids
falr to become a popular hero. The
particular dog that has brought about
this important state of affairs is the
property of City Coucilman H. Bum
gay, OF Spokane, Wash, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Pat" is the
name of the clever animal. There is
nothing particularly attractive in his
appearance. His lower jaw has that
same ugly appearance that has preju-
olced the public minds against animals
OF his class. 1t is Pats jaw, however,
that mas gained him fame. Mr.. Bum
gay mas a store in Spokane, and in
front OF his place of business, when
ever the weather would permit, Pat
mas been in the habit of taking up his
station. His original task was to guard
the store from all the %nuisances that
walked in that direction, and in this
capacity he has long been unequaled.
MI. Bungay has spent no little time
IN teaching him that when a horse and
buggy were left in front of the store
1t was the intention to have them re-
main there until the person who left
them returned and took possession.
Several times horses which have been
temporarily stationed in front of the
store have taken the notion to wander
on. Each time Pat has i%nterposed an
objection that always had weight, for
he is a stocky dog and weighs a good
deal more than his looks would lead
one to think. The climax in Pats ca
reer came a few days ago, when, as
he was lying on the steps of the store
apparently sleeping peacefully, a horse
n buggy came dashing down the
street at a tremendous pace. The bug
gy was empty, for the horse had
broken his hitching strap, which was
swinging wildly in the air as the fright
ened animal tore down Sprague street.
Pat comprehended the situation at a
glance. AS the horse neared the Bum
gay store Pat gathered himself to-
gether on the sidewalk and waited. A
moment later the spectators saw a
white dog swinging in al, directions
at the end Of that portion Of the hitch
ing strap which remained attached to
the horse. For a few seconds the horse
did not seem to mind the animal that
chung like grim death to the hitching
strap. Pat would swing wide of the
horse and up in the air, and then come
| down with a thud that made the peo-
pie who heard it sorry for him, Every
time he came down, however, he
braced himself and gave the horses
head a vigorous pull. The results of
Pats methods was that within a COM
paratively short distance the runaway
was brought to a standstill. The dog,
rather scratched and a good deal
bruised, sat calmly down by the foam
ing horse, pulling the strap at inter-
walls, as if to say: you might lust as
well stop first as last when I get hold
of the strap" OF course, there were
any quantity of men ready to hold the
horse after Pat stopped it, although
none of them had exhibited the least
inclination to get in it's way while it
was on the run.
