DECAY OF FRENCH CUISINE

slowly BEING Destroyed by the Hurry
and Anxiety of Modern Life.
The tendency in all the French res
taurants of the present day is to pre-
pare meals for their chance customers
who may happen in at any time OF the
day, says the Chautauquan. Meals are
eaten IN greater hurry than former
", even in France, where it used to
be the habit during the fiercest revo-
lutionary and communist struggles
when the time Of de jeuner came for
each side to stop fighting for an hour
or so and devote themselves to the mid
day meal. The hurry and anxiety OF
modern life Ii slowly destroying what
ever was distinctive in French cooking,
which cannot be properly done in haste
or when food is required in very large
quantities.
The development of club life is part
" responsible for this, and the latter
is only another sign of the deeplying
social problems which confront modern
existence at every step. Men in fash
ionable society dine more frequently at
the club than they do at their own
bones. Fewer people marry than for
merry. home life is decreasing and club
life increasing. Hence, the last refuge
of the Partisan chef is at the fashionable
clubhouses, which are now counted by
the score, and most of which set very
rood tables.

work of the Canadian union differs but
little in essentials from that OF the
union in the United States. The work
is divided up among various depart
ments, and the progress in its political
aspect is especially gratifying. This
progress will perhaps be best illus
trated when it is said that four of the
provinces to which plebiscite vote was
submitted gave a majority OF 1898

cation is now arming for the great

Though Uneducatcd He Is n Lightning
mathematician.
Robert Gardhire is a negro, and an un-
educated one, but when it comes to fig
ures he can't be stopped by any mathe-
matician in the world, says the Angus
ia Chronicle. He is humble resident
of Augusta, and is employed as a la
borer at the Interstate Cotton Oil COM
pany. In multiplication Gardhire Is
as quick as thought. Before the aver
age person can set the figures down
with a pencil Gardhire has given the
correct answer, and yet he cannot say
how he does it.
He was asked what was the sum total
of 90 times 81, and without repeating
the figures to himself Gardhire an
swered offhand: $685." How much, :"
asked one, "is sol times 52?" Without
stopping second Gardhire replied:
"16,os2." And thus for over half an
hour numbers were thrown at him and
he gave the correct multiplication like
a fash. In the multiplication of frac-
lions the man is equally proficient,
and there seems no limit to his powers,
which are almost occult.
Gardhire cannot remember when he
first became aware of his power, and
does not even know how he discovered
it. He says that when the figures are
given to him he sees their answer i'm
mediately. Simply by glancing at a
long line Of figures he can tell imme-
diately what their sum is

would be caught and put back into
his own room at this hour, the ape
used to climb up to the top of the
other monkeys cages and refuse to
come down. As he could not be
tempted by food, Mr.. Bartlett APP
pealed to his mind by working on
what he had noted to be his weak
points, curiosity and cowardice. This
is Frank Buckland's account of the
daily proceedings at this hour: "AIr.

erses the house, pretending to point

two men would peer into the dark
place under the gaspipe." The mon
key used presently to come down to
see what the subject of fear and
interest was, when Mr.. Bartlett and
Sutton used to shout: "He's
coming out! He's coming out"
and rush away in the direc-
ton of Joe's cage. The monkey
would rush for the same place of
safety, which happened to be thedoor
of his own house. and sometimes en-
ter it before them. auckland notes
it as curious that the monkey never
learned the deception. but would be
taken in by it whenever the time
came to finish his mornings airing.
These ''indirect methods of animal
management, sometimes akin TO the
wonderful way" some people have
with little children, never failed Mr.,
Bartlett. To the last he would walk
around and see all the creatures as

had any misgivings, and his sugges.
