a gastronomio point Of view in the disappear

OF the sheep that browsed on tho thymo-clad
banks Of the Carnao and Of tho Aveyron has
ceased to suffice for the market, whilo the
focks that have fed in grassy pastures yield
plenty Of milk, but of an inferior quality. Cows
milk has been mixed with that of tho sheep,
and the cheese, boing artihcially rlpenod, de-

Hoboken, 1t seems, has a dozen or moro sa-
looms where barmaids are employed, and some
of the reformers in that town allege that the
influence of these women is bad, and that, In
the interest of morality, they should be dis
charged. Several attempts have been made to
introduce English barmaids into New York,
and the last one. about six years ago, was the
most ambitious. 1t was q failure, of course,
but while the women stood behind the bar the
saloon was crowded. The Only William su.
| perintended the experiment, and then, after 1t
had failed, he explained satisfactorily why bar
maids could not succeed in this city. There

A-man entered ono Of tho large department

her and all the other members Of her profes

summer hotel is different. Last summer tn,
residents of a nearby seashore village were yer,

hotel not far away witnessed something tina
surprised them just as much; The beautifu
heroine of a great deal OF talk arrived at tn,
hotel, and the presence OF the actress gave tn
persons more 70 talk about than they had eve

some outbreak from the woman, and the guest
watched her as intently as they TALKED abou
