THE TINY wHITEBAIT.
A Fish That Has Only Recently
Appeared Upon Cur
Hotel Tables.


1t Is only OF late years that white
bait" have appeared on the menus at
our leading restaurants, or that the
tiny fish answering o that appellation
could be bought in our markets, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
For many years we regarded them rs
distinctly an English dish, and made
no effort to obtain their equivalent.
Everyone knows the genuine white
bait Of England, which are born and
bred and caught in the Thames, and
are supposed TO obtain their peculiarly
delicious flavor from London mud and
refuse, but whether they are the
young OF herring, as some people sup
pose, or whether they are a liliputian
variety of the finny tribe in themselves,
no one seems exactly to know.
In this country almost any young
fish that are from one to one and one
half inches IN length and.are caught in
quantities are sold in the market now
pdays as whitebait and are cooked n
rAnglais and served up hot and crisp
with thin slices Of brown bread and
butter, making n delicious dish, what
ever they are. The English recipe for
cooking whitobait commands that
they should be drained on clean nap
kin. thoroughly absorbing all the wa
ter; then roll them in -four and after
ward drop them in some very hot fat.
AS soon as they become crisp drain
them on a sieve. and after drying them
a minute or two before the fire
sprinkle on them n little salt and send
them to the table to be served with cut
quarters OF lemon, cayenne pepper
and slices of thinly cut brown bread
and butter.

WAR BELT OF THE WORLD.
All the Dig Battles OF the Last Twenty
Years Have Occurred In one
Narrow Zone.

The war with Spain brings out the
remarkable fact that all of the battles
fought i'm the world for the last 20
years have occurred in one fatal, mar
row zone OF the carth's surfacc. That
zone runs just above the equator. IL
IS only u degrees wide, extending
from eight degrees north TO the Tropic
Of Cancer, and yet the belt does not
cross a single continent or large
Group of islands which has not been
literally strewn with the dead and dy-
ing.
Cuba IS in that zone, and Spanish Of
fetal records prove that in recent
years 100000 people have been killed
10y hunger or the sword in that unhap-
py island al told. the dead in the
many battles in the Philippines, at
Formosa, at Khartoum. and Santiago
number 100000.
All of the engagements in the pres
ent Spanish war, though fought on
battlchelds some 10000 miles apart.
are almost on a direct line with one
another. The battle of Santiago and
the naval victory Of Sampson and
! Schley. with their accompanying loss
of life, occurred in latitude 20 north
Cardenas, Matanzas and Havana all lie
just north Of 20 degrees. Manila lies
almost under the latitude Of 10 north.
The fighting in central Africa in
which the British soldiers have been
engaged has all occurred within the
Limits of this zone. So, too, have the
various battles in Sierra Leone, re-
sulting in the loss of 100 lives, been
within this boundary.
Many engagements have also boen
fought and others may even now be
going on at present around Khnrtum,
which Is just south Of the sixteenth
degree north. The loss at Khartoum
IS fixed by the British government at
5000. The fighting which is still GO
log on between the British and natives
al Atbara has caused 250-denths, and
this number is being daily increased.
In Central America the bloodshed
J + almost entirely confined 10 the mar
row strip Of land crossed by this fatal
belt A revolution is an annual affair
in Guatemala. Only a few months ago
such an uprising occurred, resulting
in the assassination of Darrios, In
which 100 lives we're sacrificed. All
the fighting was done between the de-
erees of Is and 10 north.
The japanese fought the Formosan
rebels this year under the Tropic OF
Cancer, which is 23 degrees north.
II viii be seen that on no continent
or group of islands where this fatal
belt crosses has there been peace
while the battles fought within lis
boundary have been fierce and accom-
panied by much bloodshed.-N. Y

CHALLENGED THE PROFESSOR.
a Berlin Student Who Fails to Pass
Examinations Desires to Fight
with His Teacher.

A new terror would be added to the
life Of the German Srofessor if many
people followed the example of a stu
dent named Hans Won Flemming, who
has just appeared before the Berlin
courts to answer to q charge of chal-
longing the president of the senate Of
Berlin university TO duel.
Herr Won Flemming recently APP
pcared for examination before the law
faculty in Berlin. At the oral eXami-
nation he failed to satisfy the exami-
ners and was told he had failed. On
hearing this he laughed derisively,
gathered together his papers, and,
without saluting his professors,
walked out of the hall, noisily banging
the door.
The following day he called on Dr..
Going, the president Of the senate,
and asked his permission to address q
petition to the minister of justice 10
get his examination reheard This
DR.. Going, in view of his rude behavior
at the examination, refused 10 accord.
Herr Won Flemming denied that he had

replied: you can deny it as much as
you like. but l tell you TO well-bred
man would have behaved as you did,
This reply the student regarded as
an insult, ard sent his cousin, an Off
Ger, to demand its Withdrawal. On
this being refused he challenged DR..
Going to mortal combat. The latter,
who saw that if he fought duels with
every student who failed in his OK
animation he would have his HANDS
full. promptly refused and informed
the police.
As a result Herr Hans Won Flemming
will have four months of seclusion in
a German fortress in which TO medi

This ball win be the conclusion of a

make a statement for publication
"The commissioners have not deem
ed 1t wise hitherto" he said, ito make
public any facts relating to the work
of the commission. The reason for

has been strictly observed. Therefore

has determined upon with reference to
any question under consideration are

asked.
1T is" he said THE Alaskan ques.
tion has not yet been settled. and SC
far no proposition Of compromise oi
settlement has been made by either
side. The time Of the commission has
been engaged in the consideration OF
other matters. and some time may ye
elapse before a settlement of that ques
ton IS attempted"

HATS SHOULD BE WORN.
A Traveller in Chicago Declares
Against Their RemOvnI in
Any Public Elevator.

Il say, old chap, now don't be so
dummy as TO take your hat of again,
just because a woman comes into an
elevator"
The traveller had gathered in his
companion by the two lapels of his
coat and was laying down the law to
him in dead earnest. They had just
emerged from one of the Stock EX-
change elevators, out of which had
stepped behind them one woman wear
ing n standard gauge hat and dozen
men with their narrower headgear in
hand.
why, I thought it was the proper
thing, Jack, to hold your hat in your
hand when the gcntler sex came into
the elevator with you"
mot at allan old-fashioned fad
gone into the lumber room. Might
Just as well take your hat Oft in street
cars or n railroad car. The rule is,
no hats off on any movable platform
or part thereof not especially re-
served for the entertainment Of wom-
en-"
well. I'll be smashed; that's new
one on me, Jack"
Lots of good things are unknown
and new o you and to many others. 1t
makes me fairly sizzle, though ! sup
pose every fellow has the right to do
as he pleases with his chapeau, TO see
so many men who don't know the diff
ference between dessert knife and Il
tuning fork grab their hats Oft their
heads the moment woman steps into
an elevator. Watch sharp and you will
always observe those fellows eying
each other as if in distrust or seeking
appreciation. It's all wrong; internal
nonsense, downright toadyism to the
sex, and expected by no woman of
common sense, much less by one ac-
customed TO the ways of the proper
world"
"This Is all news to me, Jack. I'll
have to key the boys up to it. for most
Of them would take their hats off II
they met n woman in a freight ele-
yator."
"The more to their credit, for there
a woman might be in distress. IT sim
ply amounts to this: An elevator in O

public convenience, like a stairway oi

that sort. 1t is not closed room. i

A socIABLE SEAL.
The Strange story Told In Scotland
of the Remarkable Conduct
o. Sea Animal.

A gentleman residing in Broughty
Ferry, who owns a yacht, took n run
down the river the other day, accom-
panied by some friends, for the pur-
pose of having a seal hunt, says the
Edinburgh Dispatch On the banks
az the mouth of the estuary they saw
large numbers of seals, old and young.
Relieving that these creatures are
attracted by whistling, they tried the
experiment, and were surprised TO OBJ
serve n young seal following in the
wake Of the yacht. Continuing to
whistle the creature followed up the
river, disappearing for a time, and
then reappearing with its head above
tie surface Of the water. 1t was not
far of when the yacht reached its an
chorage in the West Ferry bay, and
after the yachtsmen went ashore they
we're more than astonished to see the
young seal Hopping up the beach be-
hind them. So tame was the creature
that they had no difficulty in captur-
Ing it. It was carried to their home,
II was well fed and cared for. Not hav-
ing a proper place for keeping such
pet. il was resolved to restore il
10 its nntural element. aud the yachts
men proceeded down the river TO the
ueighborhood of Broughty castle,
where it was placed In the water Sc
attached, however. had the seal be-
come to its captors that it refused
