ORIGIN OF "REsTAURANT."
An Interesting Pathological Fact From
France.

An Interesting Pathological Fact From
France.
The French author, Maurice Cabs, re.
Gently published in La Republique
Frncaise an essay about the restaurants
and eating houses of Paris, relating
many interesting details. His story Of
how the term restaurant" was first
used is well worth repeating For a long
time inns and eating houses in France
were only intended for the benefit of
travelling people, for the people took
their meals at home, and restaurants
were unknown. The first enterprise of
the kind was founded in Paris in 1895.
A citizen by the name of Boulanger
opened in the Rue des Poulies an eating
house where soup, meat, fowl and eggs
were served A chronicler relates that
meals were served there on small, round,
marble tables, and everything was scru-
pulously clealA
Over the entry TO this first eating
house the proprietor had hung a sign,
upon which were the Latin words, Eve
mite ad me omnes qu@ stomacho labora-
tbs, ct ego restaurabo vcs' Come unto
me all ye whose stomachs need attention,
and will restore them). This is "a par
ody on the well known Biblical quota
tion, "Come unto me all ye who labor
and are heavy laden, and Twill give you
rest, 4" only in place of labor and heavy
laden he said, whose stomachs need at
tention The word 'restaurabo, from
the Latin 'restaurare" (rcstore or re-
fresh), was the main characteristic Of the
new establishment and gave it its name.
Boulanger amassed a large fortune, for
his enterprise proved eminently success
full, but he was soon initiated, some of
his imitators becoming more famous
than he, like Borel, at whose place 1870
years ago meals could be had for $50
francs (S30) per cover.

While the resolution to recognize

is being held up by the national house

by the senate matters are coming to
the surface at various points which are
sure to bring a crisis very soon. Mr..
Calhoun, the special commissioner sent

been looking about during the delays

on the island. He already has discov-
cred that Gen. Weyler's talk of Cuba
There is not province in Cuba that

Lee, took a ride out of Havana, that it

Consul-General Lees report that the
war is no nearer an end than two
years ago, and that there is no pros
pect of either side triumphing so long
as one can dig sustenance from the
ground and the other borrow money,
is fully proved to Mr.. Calhoun's salts
faction. The poor people who have
been driven from the country by Gen.
Weyler's orders have been seen by
Commissioner Calhoun and their ter
rible miseries he will relate to the
President upon his return. At Matan-
zas alone he saw 1000 starving recon
centradoes, and was told that 1900
Eore had just been driven into the
overcrowded small towns of the dis
trict, where their plight was hopeless.
Gen. Lee and Mr.. Calhoun, with their
interpreter, went from hut to hut

ishment All said that they had been
without food for periods varying
