ROYAL EPlCURES.


Monerchs Who Were Famous Because Of
Their Culinary Learning.
Royalty in times past has had many an
accomplished epicure as learned in culina-
~ lore as in the practice Of the cuisine. It
was Henry de Valois who brought into
fashion aromatic sauces and various spicy
dainties, inheriting his taste for cooking
from Catherine de- Medici, who introduced
into France not only ices, but much of the
culinary art from Italy.
Louis XIV was devoted to gastronomy,
and for his use liquors were invented In
his old age, when, 1t is said, he could
scarcely endure existence without sue
cession of artificial stimulants. But the
pertinacity with which Charles v of Spain
gratified his appetite under all circum-
stances rivaled even that Of Frederick the
Great Before rising in the morning pot
ted capons were usually served to him,
prepared with sugar, milk and spices, iced
beer being one Of his favorite drinks
Fish, too, Of every kind was to his taste,
eels, frogs and oysters occupying q promi-
nent place In the royal bill of fare Fred
erick the Great was fond Of highly season
ed meats and had q strong prediction for
italian or French made dishes. It was his
habit during dinner to make pencil marks
against the different items Of the bill Of
fare TO which he referred when oonversing
afterward with the maitre d'hotel.
When the Due d'Escars and his royal
master, Louis XVIII, were closeted TO-
gether to talk over dish, the ministers
were kept waiting In the antachamber,
and the next day this notice regularly ap-
peared In the official journals: IN. 10 Duo
d'Escars travaille dams le cabinet" 1t
may be added that Louis XVIII had In
vented the "truffles a la puree d'ortolans,"
and, reluctant to disclose the secret, he In
variably prepared the dish with his own
hands, assisted by the duke. Another cpl
curean of the first order was the Polish
King Stanislaus Leszinski, who invented
many new dish and vastly improved the
style Of cooking, astonishing the Lorrain-
ers, among other things, by having served
up at his table dishes of meat with fruits,
both of which had been cooked together.
Geese which had been plucked when alive,
then whipped to death, and marinees were
set down in his bill of fare as foreign
birds, and after a somewhat similar fash
lon turkeys were transformed into "coqs
de bruyeres" and were served at the table
buried under the strong smelling her ,f
Lorraine. One year was remarkable tor
the entire failure of the fruit crop. but
Stanislaus would not be deprived of his
dessert, for, turning his attention to con-
fectionery, he substituted compositions of
sugared vegetables, especially of turnips.

Water Plant.

Very few probably are aware that tht
fur, or vegetable down, Of the cattail Is
marketable article. superior to feathers OF
cotton for many purposes 1t Is not quite
90 valuable or useful as eiderdown, but II
approaches 1t very closely and Is cheaper
than any of the three. AS a matter OF
fact, a great many people are today using
articles covered with cattail products who
have no idea where the material comes
from.
1t Ia a vast extent Of country, compare.
lively speaking, from which the cattaii is
gathered. It comes from the swamps
along the numerous creeks that put In
from the Delaware bay, from Morris river
to Cape May. The average amount gath
cred In the season Is q ton day. The
work Of gathering and transporting IL,
and then weaving 1t into the many forms
which 1t must take before becoming sala'
bic, constitutes considerable industry.
One of the most elaborate uses to which
this material Is put Is that OF covering
sofas Very many Of the supposed plush
covered divans are really covered with
fabric of cattail. 1t wears better than the
plush, and Is infinitely cheaper.
The same argument that applies to the
sofa Is applicable to the pillow. Very Of.
ten, however, such pillows go by another
name
Sofa pillows also are made of cattail, be
cause pillow avowedly covered with cat
tail would probably be regarded with con
tempt. Call 1t Alaskan plush, however, OF
Shetland wool that has been treated by
new process, and 1t will sell readily enough,
and give good satisfaction too.

houses Is also in many instances adorned
with cattail covers, although the house
wife cannot be convinced they are not

much as II they were what che supposes,
and naturally she SCOTS at any person who

becoming prevalent custom to use cattail

Another article for which the cattail IA
used Is the bed quilt The eiderdown quilt

ciates the value Of the cattail quilt, how

1t may be taken for granted that 'he
proposed treaty of alliance between this
cDnatry and Great Britain is now dead
aud none will be more pleased after
having cooled down than those good
natured aud susceptible persons. who 30
ardently favored it.
But in connection with this treaty
there has arisen u great deal OF discus
sion, and editors who generally take
NO more than cursory view OF passing
events have had good time sneering
n the Senators who advised caution
Ke Senator Edmunds, and others who,
Ike Senator Morgan, appeared to be
duly suspicious Of John Bull, "aLd
HIM bearing gifts"
All of this discussion has brought out
many points IN our National Constitu-
tlvn winch, in the sight CT the past, aud
a. q guide for the future, are of great
i'm mportance not only to student, bu:
ALSO to the every day man.
inve that the treaty making power
sted solely In the executive and that
tue Senate's province was simply t.
,cept or reject the treaty. But ali
ale constitutional writer in the Sun
points out the fact that the Consutu-
ton gives more latitude to the Senate
aud demands Of the body an active
p Anticipation in arranging all OF the
d,tai 8 Of a treaty. He quotes that pro-
vision of the Constitution which Is
matter of common knowledge in it.
ordinary acceptance, hut which. when
analyzed, shows that the trainers OF th'
Constitution desiie ed to depart sharply
from the European method OF treaty
m 4king. The old world method was
and is for the executive department to
make the treaty. The new methcd is
that the executive must confer with
aud Ne advised by the Senate in doing
the work.
The provision OF the Constitution
reads: He (the President) shall have
mower BY AND WITH the consent OF the
Seuate, to make treaties, provided two
tnirds of the Senators present concur"
The evident meaning of this provision
is that the President shall submit each
proposal In treaty to the Senate dur.
ing it's preparation, and that 1t shall re-
quire aItwo-thirds voteIof. these Senators
present at the time of Its consideration
to make it binding. This method wa
evidently intended to prevent an,
clashing or misunderstanding between
the Senate and the President, for it /,
not 10 be presumed that the President
should negotiate treaty and then
feel humiliated If, after all his pains,
the Senate should think it needed
changes. The ftamers of our Consti-
tuition evidently realized this featurt
of human nature whenrhey provided
that both departments should consul
as the treaty progressed.
Such being the case those papers and
individuals who have deemed them
selves wiser than our constitutional
law makers and who have Indulged in
cheap criticism and still cheaper wit for
the past four weeks, can now reflect N,
leisure and imagine il they can who
have made themselves ridiculous-the
Senate OF the United States or their
critics.
