HE PEELS THE POTATOES.
Mnn Who Wishes to Become n Chef
Must Degin at the Bottom.

There are probably $50 schools for
cooking in Germany and Austria, the
best of which are at Vienna, Berlin and
Leipsic. A man who wishes to become
chef must begin at the very bottom of
the ladder-at peeling potatoes-and
work up, round by round, to the top,
says the New York World. A course of
schooling as strict as that of any poly
technic school in this country must be
followed for four years before the
student can get diploma. Every year
competitive exhibitions are given in
which as many as 200 chefs take part
The chef who was employed at the white
house by Grover Cleveland, and who, it
is rumored, may be again, has a gold
medal which was presented to him by
Empress Frederick for excellence in
cooking, a silver medal given by the
king SaXony, diploma from the queen
of Austria and numerous other marks
of appreciation and honor won in COM
pctitive contests in cooking. 1t is not
TO be wondered at that European cooks
command extraordinary salaries in this
country.

THE GERMAN SCIENTIST.

4 German scientist has tackled the

PLANTATION of the place of that piece of
headgear in the general scheme of
things will fill q long-felt want, says the
New York Tribune. Incidentally it may
cause q social revolution. He says that
man has gone a step further than wom-
an in the social evolution and that
whereas he once wore, as woman does
now, flowers and feathers on his head,
he has now come to the conclusion that
his cranial beauty is when unadorned
adorned the most" Hence the shiny
stovepipe. Alas that this explanation,
though plausible, is not convincing! y
German scientist is, of course, general
" speaking, a mere machine into which
you feed facts and get out theories,
but in such a matter as this he is only
frail humanity and is liable to have
his Judgment warped by his prejudices.
What a tale of domestic tragedy may
lie wrapped in the pessimism of his
theory! The idealism of the courtship,
the rude shock of the first post-nup-
tial milliner's bill, the rapid success
sion of similar shocks throughout the
matrimonial experience, comparable
only to an electric battery getting in
it's fine work, and then, finally, utter
and ungallant cynicism! Why does not
some woman rise like him with ponder
Gus scientific verbiage to the defense
of the theater hat? 1t needs it.

APPOINTMENT CONFIRMED.
Mr.. W. T. Harness is Now a Fun Pledged
Deputy L. :. Marshal.

1t has been known for several days
by the intimate friends OF Mr.. w. I.
Harness that that gentleman had been
named by U. S, Marshal Devauney as
the successor to Travelling Deputy W.
e. Mason, resigned, but as the appoint
ment required the approval of the AT
torney General it was withheld from
publication in Mr.. Harness interests.
On Tuesday, however, the new ap-
pointee received official notice of his
confirmation, together with his badge
and as he had already been sworn in,
he became at once full-hedged deputy
marshal
Generously passing over his political
complexion, we may say that no better
appointment could have been made 10y

make conscientious and capable Off

HUMAN HAIR VALUABLE.
A French Firm sold n Ton of II fol
g9O.DOO


The demand for human hair is now
so great that ARTISTS in human hair"
have more than they can do to meet
the requirements of their customers,
which are every day increasing. France,
the leader of all female fashions. is OF
course responsible for this. and natural
ly the country where the greatest trade
is done in this article. says the Golden
Penny. India and China. it appears,
supply large quantity of black hair,
but it also appears that France herself,
and even England, provide large guam
tity. too. Some Of the peasant women
in France are often induced to part with
their long hair for q few shillings, which
when sold in Paris will often realize as
much as SIS. In converts, where the
hair is always shorn, good trade is
done, and it is said that not long ago
cne of these large establishments sold
about ton of hair for 100000. Ere
quently the hair is cut from corpses, but
dead hair" as it is called, is of less
value than living hair" Curiously
enough. an important part of the busi-
ness of collecting hair is done in the
streets of Paris, where the rag gather
ers are said to collect every day an av-
erage of 100 pounds of human hair. 1t
appears from some statistics recently
published that white and red hair are
rarest in France, while brown hair
(Which, however. has great many
ShadeS) is the most common color.

AN ENGLISH BOOM.
How the Town of Barry Grew in
Ten Years.

The new world is not the only place
where mushroom towns spring up. In
England several considerable cities have
been created by new railroads. OF these
Crewe is perhaps the most notable, says
an exchange. Fifty years ago it was an
insignificant and unprogressive village
with about couple of hundred in
habitants. To-day it is an important
and thriving town with n population of
some 10000. What may be fairly called
its creation was entirely due to q rail
way company, whose works cover about
80 acres and employ from 1000 to 5000
artisans. Another remarkable instance
is that of Barry, in Glamorganshire. AS
late as 1886 it was the habitation of
few fisher families numbering some so
souls. The construction of railway
and dock was then commenced for the
purpose of the conveyance and shipment
of coal from the Rhoudda valley. Barry
is now town of 5000 inhabitants, with
municipal gas and waterworks and all
modern Improvements.

colonists was that they insisted upon

Search for Wealth in Liberia.
New York Times

New York Times.)
Thirteen lean and ill-clad negroes, men,
women, and children, arrived at Brook
lyn yesterday on the American bark Lii
IBERIA, from Sierra Leone. They were one
of several parties that have fourd their
way back to the United States from the
colonization expeditions that went to the
negro republic of Western Africa in 1895
and 1885, in part fulfillment Of the plans
Of the International Migration Society
of Birmingham, Ala, which, it was
thought, might prove the solution of the
negro question for the South
The idea had been first suggested by
Bishop Turner during a trip through the
South, and the society was organized by
Jere Mcmillan of Birm ingham. A negro
agent, d. L. johnson, went first to Lii
IBERIA in 1884, to make arrangements, and
inducements were held out to colonists.
The Presidentsof Liberia was reported to
be in favor of the scheme, and to have
offered land, and the plan included the
building of a town. Each colonist was
to-pay $40 for transportation, 81 for the
contract that bound the arrangements be-
tween individuals and the society, and
was to have in his possession $500 in gold
Twenty five acres of land were to be allot-
ted to each adult and ten acres to each
child, and each person, on landing, was
tosbe provided with barrel of flour, two
barrels of meat, q quantity f sugar and
a complete set Of farming implements.
1T was said that 4, 900 negroes were en-
rolled in the venture. One largessparty left
the South in the spring of 1895, smaller
parties followed, and on March Il q party
of 81 sailed from Savannah They came
PRINCIPALLY from Arkansas City, Forest
City, Ark. Kansas City, and from Miss
issippi and few from other parts of the
South.
d. K. Flammer, president of the society
the returning colonistsssay, accompanied
the last expedition, of which they were
members, but hessdeserted, they say, on
arrival at Sierra Leone, taking what he
could of what was provided for them ex-
cept the land, and leaving them TO shift
for themselves. The land was thirty five
miles from any town, and suitable only
for coffee growing, and it would take
from four to six years for the first crop.

who worked for almost nothing, and to.
i've on roots and herbs, and, when they
could get il, q little rice. Flour cost $50
a.barrel. They could have no wheat
bread, therefore, nor was there any corn
meal to be had. There was a kind of
root, the pith of which could be made
