at the Restaurant Pailard; Georges Bouton. chef
at the Restaurant Voisin. and with Tesch the
chef Of NJ. Felix Faure President Of the French
Republic point to the conclusion that the present
movement toward simplicity is nothing less than
the renaissance Of the cassie cuisine Of the
Regency
The artists above mentioned are at the sum
NIT Of their profession. Their proved knowledge
skill and the high positions they occupy lend to
them prestige like that Of a tribunal OF final
jurisdiction. and their judgments in all matters
relating to the cuisine have the weight and
authority which in legal affairs pertain to the
decisions Of the Court Of Cessation IN France or
to the rulings Of the Supreme Court OF the
United States

taste. any more than two human faces can be
found exactly resembling one another 1t is the
duty. nay the religion OF the true cook to seize
upon these individual tastes and develop them
This requires careful thought as well skill in
execution. for to mingle refractory flavors would
lead to the same incOngrucus results as the
blending Of unsuitable coiors Sometimes the
most complicated causes combine to produce n
most simple effect Take, for instance, dish
which l invented called La poulardc IL
Marivaux. which. when served. appears like
simplicity itself. But to produce this result a

blending these hayors so as not to destroy. but.
on the contrary, TO strengthen and concentrate
the primary taste OF the chicken This is ex-
ample Of simplicitt soign6c' which is the true
motif of ideal cooking"
Upon being questioned a. to the influence Of
the prevailing latcnoss Of the dinner hour on the
consumption of wines Of the best quality. Joseph
replied: The dinner hour In Paris is now as
late as S:l5 or $50 o'clock instead of or 30
O'Clock A. was the case some years ago. The
result is that there is somewhat more hurry.

Seine. near the great wine docks of Bercy. The
Tour d'Argcnt is largely patronized by wealthy
wine merchants and solid provincals. whose
presence is in itself guarantee of well-cooked
food and good wine. Many Americans and Eng

WOMEN's EXPOSITION AT CHAR
LOTTE.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
CHARLOTTE, N. O., April II, 1897.
Oae of the most interesting features
of the Woman's Exposition of the Caro-
linas, which takes place during the
month of May, reaching into June,
will be the showing of the industries of
these States, that are not very generally
known. For instance, as fine Kaolin
as is produced in the United States is
here found, and is made into earthen-
ware, china and an excellent grade of
porcelain ware. An exhibit of this
product will show the process of manu-
tacture from its crude state into arti
cles of dainty shape and attractiveness.

Splendid collections of minerals will
demonstrate the varied resources Of the

The Industrial Department is attain
ing large proportions, and manufac-
turers from all sections are taking
space. It is specially desired that each
and every cotton mill in North and
South Carolina will place on exhibit a
bolt or more of each class Of goods
they manufacture, so that a complete
showing Of our enormous and fast
growing milling industry may be made
1t is necessary TO arrange for space at

A collection of Colonial, Revolution
cry, Mexican and Confederate relics is
being gathered together, probably lar
ger in extent and general c~omprehen-
siveness, and greater historical value
than any similar collection ever made
in the two States.
Very low passage rates to the Elk
position have been granted by all the
railroads, and the admission fee is
placed at only half the usual charge
for such exhibitions, but the desire of
the management is that every

nifty which cff3rs 80 much of interest

Arrangements are being made to a &C
comodate the large crowds that will be
here during the month OF May. To
give some idea OF the events outside Of
the Exposition, which is Of course the
main attraction, that are to occur IN
May, it may be we'll to recall a few:
State Lodge of Odd Fellows meet; Gen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in session; State Dental Society
and Board of Dental Examiners con
vene; inter State bicycle race will be
held; inter State fremen's meet with
f1remen's races; base ball games be-
tween leading Southern teams; q &C.
ries of theatrical attractions; and any
number of entertainments, both at the
Exposition and elsewhere; lectures
and addresses by prominent men,
while one of the leading Southern
women will deliver the. opening ad
dress of the Women's Exposition, and
others will follow in addresses and
lectures.
These are part of the attractions,
which all comoined goes to show that
there will be drawn together such a
gathering as has seldom been in the
history of the State.

that there was threatened uprising Of

But I had my orders and started Fort

danger of any uprising in that country
unless the stock Of canned fruits gave out.
In that case he would not stay in the

up an unsatistied appetite for canned
goods They were content to forego their
chuck, which is Indian for beef, if they
could get canned staff Nearly every In

are SO honest that they want to pay but
there Is no chance for the storekeeper to

and the amount is deducted from the next
payment of land money to the Indian by
the government

Illustrated. "If," the author says. "a
pleblscite were taken among travellers in
general, as to the dozen most interesting
and striking cities of the globe, it is
probable that Cairo would be included in
the list. The historic and artis-
tic interest OF Cairo is, i'll short, purely
medieval and Saracenic and perhaps no
Eastern city, except Damascus. in the
beaten track Of tourist travel, embodies
SO many OF the typical characteristics of
an Oriental city. Cairo is full of
those picturesque associations connected
with the magnificent age of the Mameluke
Sultans, but most visitors know little
about them" The work begins with
Egypt and the Pharaohs. Then follow
the Empire of the Ptolemies, The Rule of
the Calyphs, The Making Of Egypt,
Alexandria and the Nile Delta. The Story
of the Suez Canal is given and the merits
of Cairo as q resort for invalids dwelt
upon; also Cairo in it's social aspect, with
a description of the Mosques. the Tom bs
of the Calyphs, the National Museum and
the Acropolis of Cairo. In this last
chapter sketch of Mehemet Ali roma1l-

very interesting one is Old Cairo and the
