WHY 1T WAS HOT.
The Hash Epicure's Initial Experience
With a Chatting Dish.

The Hash Epicures Initial Experience
With Chatting Dish.
81 had heard of chatting dishes for
years., said Smiley Williams, "but the
one l saw for the first time floored me
completely.
never thought much about the
blamed things, but somehow supposed
chatting dish was some sort of concern
that they grated things in-something
that rubbed together and mashed things.
"The other night though, Bolton
and l went into Madison street res.
taurant for dinner. You know | always
have sneaking liking for hash of any
kind, and so does Bolton. Bolton order
ed turkey hash for two, and the waiter
brought it on in a swell sort of silver
dish nearly as tall as cake basket. 1t
had tight cover, and when we opened
it it steamed like a 40 horsepower boil
er blowing off.
Il loaded up Bottoms plate, and in
the first pass at it he took the skin off
his tongue, it was SO hot.
just like these internal places,
Bolton growled. Anything you've got
to eat is blistering hot, while coffee is
always stone cold
After awhile Bolton took some more
hash and burned his tongue again.
Z" Holy Moses, he said, what's got
into that hash?'
II told him nobody was expected to
know anything about restaurant hash,
especially the fellow who was eating it,
but he wasn't satisfied.
"Well, we kept on eating hash until
we had enough. And do you know that
hash left in the dish was hotter than it
was at the start2
Well, said Bolton, L wouldn't
have believed my eyes, but with most
of the skin off my tongue I've got to
give it up Then he called the waiter.
Say, he said, in low tone, 'I'll
give you a quarter if you'll tell me
what in blazes is the matter with that
hash
" Beg pahdon, sah?'
What keeps that hash SO all fred
hot?
Why. sab, that's a chatting dish,
sahl'

ing dish is silver fruit stand with
fire built under it. Chicago Record.

Fooled.

Senator Wilson of Washington and
his brother, Harry Wilson, look very
much alike. One day in Spokane, where
the two brothers live, Senator Wilson,
who had just returned from his legisla-
tive duties, was stopped on the street by
man who had known him for years.
Harry said the man, "when will
your brother John be here?''
In a day or two" said John with
out a smile.
"Tell him want to see him on an
important matter. -
Certainly, said John.
''And you will not forget it2'

Or in Alaska's sunless land,
Your wake my wing shall know.

Will beacon you to land"

Animal Kindergartens


It will be noticed that all creatures
which have large families, whether
beasts or birds, have less trouble in rear
ing them than those which have only
one or two young. Little pigs are weeks
ahead of calves in intelligence, and the
young partridge, with its dozen brothers
and sisters, is far more teachable than
the young eagle. There seems no doubt
that the latter is taught to fly by its
parents. A correspondent informs the
writer that he has watched the old
birds SO engaged and the young eagles
reluctantly following them to height
Specialized education in animals be-
gins late. The beaver kittens training
does not begin until the autumn of the
year in which it was born. The old
beavers, which have moved up tributary
streams into the woods, or roamed to
the larger lakes during summer, then
return to inspect their dam and repair
it for the winter. They then cut down
few trees, and, dividing them into
logs, roll them or tow them to the dam.
The kittens meantime are put on to
what in a workshop would be called a
soft job" They cut all the small
branches and twigs into lengths and do
their share of light transport service.
In the mud patting and repairing Of the
dam the beaver kittens take their share,
but there is little doubt that they do so
because their elders are SO engaged. 1t
is kindergarten of the best kind, be-
cause mud patting and stick cutting are
a great joy and solace to old beavers as
we'll as young ones, and so instruction,
pleasure and business are all combined.
Young offers, and probably also young
water rats, have to be taught to 60 into
the water. According to the observa-
tions Of Mr.. Hart, the late head keeper
at the ZOO, the young offers born there
did not enter the water for weeks, and
even then their mother had to mind"
them and fetch them out when she
thought they had had enough of it.
They swim naturally when once in the
water, and this seems true of all ami
mails. London Spectator.

THE CRANE DANCE.
Where the SOubrettes Got Their Idea Fo


Where the Soubrettes Got Their Idea For
Speciality.
There is dance called the crane
dance, which is popular at the vaude-
vile houses At Lincoln park there is a
real crane which does a crane dance,
and those who have seen its saltatorial
feats say the bird does it much better
than do the featherless, two legged ami
mails.
No purely initiative dancing could
fail to gain by being an exact copy Of
the performance Of the long necked,
spindle legged sand hill crane Its steps
are not only grotesque, but they are of
kind to make the gravest onlooker lose
his dignity and laugh like a delighted
boy at the circus This Lincoln park
bird at the outset of his dance is the
personiioation of dignity. When in the
days of his freedom he tripped it on his
native sand hills for the sole benefit of
his mate, he did SO only in the spring
time, but now, in his lowly captive
state, he dances in and out of season if
the keeper who feeds him will but wave
Lao al Ills anu tohO al oW n W dIQ EtSp VI
two to give him encouragement
The crane begins its dance by showing
one long leg, with its claw attachment,
straight out in front Of his body Then
he lowers it and draws it back slowly
until it is within an inch or two Of the
ground. Then there is lightninglike
double shuttle, and the other leg is
pointed to the front. Then the dance
begins in earnest. The wings are
stretched and beat the air in perfect
time to the movement of the feet, be
they going fast or slow. There is the
semblance of clog; then the sinuous
foot and body movement of the nautoh
girl, and in moment the whirl of the
dancing dervish, to be succeeded as a
finale by sort Of wild "all hands
round," in which every feather Of the
bird is alive, as it enters into the JOY of
the dance with an utter abandon. The
act of stopping is like the "halt" of the
German soldier-sudden, stiff and in
stant Then the crane marches away to
a corner with still stately tread, but
with an eye which appears to reveal en-
barrassment. Chicago Times Herald

English Administration of Jamaica.

The English administration of ia
maica is thing to be thankful for.
There are law and order, excellent
roads, comfortable houses, adequate po-
lice, lawn tennis and cricket, plenty Of
manly, companionable English army
and navy officers and a governor who is
strong, able and genial. At the same
time it would be folly to maintain that
the island is producing a tenth part Of
the wealth that is latent in soil and
atmosphere, or that most of the wealth
that is beginning to make its ap-
pearance is due to anything SO much
as to the American enterprise and cap
ital which are opening up railways
and oultivating fruits. Another serious
fact, though not necessarily an unwel-
come one, is that the islands 1000
square miles contain a population Of
900, 900 persons, %, 900 of whom are
white. Julian Hawthorne in Century.

A ChiId's Recovery
FROM PRRALYSIS And SIX WEARS OF CONVULSII
Little Fannie Adams, Of Umatia Cured Of Dreadful Maady
Cure Of Unusual Interest," RelOter Investigates.


For somo time past the Lake Rcgion has
been receiving reports from Umntiila, Fla,
Of an almost miraculous cure that had been
effected in the case Of Fannie Adams, a
daughter Of A. j. Adams, Of that place, and
last Saturday q representative Of this paper
made trip to Umatila for the purpose of
determining the authenticity ofthe same.
The family live a short distance from the
village, where it was found that the people
were cognizant Of the cure which had been
effected, and were rejoicing with the family
in their new found happiness. The father,
A. J. Adams, is q hard-workiug honest
farmer from east Tennessee, and the family

vices proved unavailing The representative
was greeted by Mrs. Adams, from whom he
gained the story of her great trial.
Fannie, the youngest child, was born in
east Tennessee, and was seven years old on
the third day Of February 1897. When ten
months old she was stricken with paralysis
which affected the entire left side This
stroke of paralysis was followed by convul-
sons, and from the time little Fannie was
ten months old until February, 1897, there
was not a single day or a night that she did
not have spasms of the most distressing
nature Not single convulsiou, but al
ways three or four, and sometimes as high
as ten in one day.
The family was all broken down with
care, and Mrs. Adams states that for one
year she did not 60 into her kitchen to super

SWIMS TnE CHANNEL
Peter MoNally, a Boston Swimmer,
Makes the Crossing,
WAS UNCONSCIOUS AT THE END.

Whle In the Water He Took Befresh-
menIs ana Chewed Tobacco-swam
Almost Continually with Il Breast
Stroke.
London, July 26.-Peter McNally, the
Boston swimmer, who was scheduled
to make an attempt to swim the En-
gllsh channel on July A. telegraphed
yesterday from Calias that he made
the crossing Saturday He says that
he started from Dover at 1880 o'clock
Saturday morning and was in the water
10 hours in which he covered 80 miles.
He landed at 2:3O o'clock yesterday
morning at a point three miles from
Cape Griz Nez.
McNally left the Admiralty pier at
Dover in the presence of a crowd of
onlookers at 1920 o'clock, intending
to go merely for a trial swim. He wore
blue trunks, on which were pinned
miniature American English flags. A
accompanied him. McNally's trainer.
lugger, manned by two local sailors,
Brown, of Boston, the proprietor of
a music hall at Dover, and one London
journalist were also aboard the ac-
companying boat. The temperature of
the water was GA degs.
At a point four miles out the temper
ature was found to have fallen to 62
degs and the weather had become very
foggy, which necessitated very great
care to avoid getting in the way of
numerous passing steamers. Six miles
out the fog lifted, and all signs tide
wind etc, were so perfect that Nc
Nally announced his determination to
try and cross. the channel. He had
been heading direct for Calais, but
strong westward current had drifted
him to a position nearly off F'olEestone.
He took refreshments, consisting of
beef extract and ginger and q long
piece Of American chewing tobacco,
which, he saws, prevents his tongue
from swelling. He swan almost con-
tinually with a breast stroke, with oc-
casional changes to a side stroke for
relief, but he never swan on his back
which ne explains interferes with the
action of his muscles
Throughout the day the sun was hid
den by clouds, SO that it did not bother
the swimmer. At o'clock when the
sun set, the boat drew nearer to Nc
Nally, so as to be close at hand in case
anything should happen. At 10 o'clock
McNally began to show signs of ex-
haustion, but he plucl1ily continued at
his task At $3.50 o'clock he had reached
a point within three miles Of Cape
Girls NeZ. Here he commenced to
splash wildly and to swim in a circle
calling for light. 1t was evident to the
men in the boat that he was blinded by
the salt water which had got into his
eyes and they tried to persuade him
to get on board. This he refused to do,
whereupon he was forcibly dragged
into the boat, where he Immediately
became unconscious, but upon being
rubbed gradually revived.
owing to change of tide the boat had
great difficulty in reaching Calais. 1t
arrived there, however at $50 o'clock.
