A Chinese Dinner.

From the Cornhill Magazine.
In China, it appears, men generally eat
alone, and in any case 1t is rot respectful
for either a wife or son to sit and eat in
the masters presence.
Though Mandarins occasionally give ex-
pensive ''feeds," in which birds nests
sharks fms, sea slugs, and other Injuries
take prominent part, still in their private
life they are usually simple. Even a vice.

with plain bowl of rice in his hand and
shovel it down with chopsticks like a COM

Some of our most common vegetables
seem to have come to us from time that
is immemorial. Asparagus was in use 200
years before the birth of Christ. Accord
ing to Herodotus, lettuce was in use even
earlier than asparagus, for it was culti-
waited as early as $50 B. c. Not only was
1t grown, but 1t was 30 grown as to be had
at all times Of the year. and even blanched
to make 1t white and tender. What better
does the gardener of today? The cucumber
is one of the vegetables named In early
Bible history, though some claim that mel
Ons We're really meant. As to the melon,
the date of its first cultivation Is lost In
antiquity, but Pliny records its use and
as he died in A. D. 70, 1t probably Is as
old as the cucumber. Carrots and turnips
were In use as garden vegetables before the
Christian era No one seems to have been
able to trace the origin Of either the pump
kin or the squash, but we read that pump
kin pies were made more than 800 years
ago after this recipe: Cut hole in the side

a mixture of apples and Spices and then

offer turnips, beets and radishes In their
obligations to Apollo. The first they Offer

by Pliny as being brought to Rome from

A NEW LABOR-sAvING MACHINE.
Assists Railroad Ticket Agent i'm Dis.

ASSISTS RAILROAD Ticket agent In Dis
posing of His Impatient Customers.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
At the North station in Paris a machine
was recently put in which issues railroad
tickets and saves the ticket sellers much
time and labor. By turning a wheel closely
resembling the wheel in the pilot house of
a steamboat the machine turns out tickets.
with the class. destination. serial number
of the ticket, number of station sold from
and number Of station of destination, date
and hour of sale and location of Office
where ticket is sold printed thereon.
This wonderful machine not only does its
work expeditiously. but very accurately. 1t
is capable Of turning out from 90 to 100
tickets a minute. and, when called upon to
do so, 1t will turn out a half ticket for
children or a round-trip ticket with as un-
erring accuracy as 1t does a straight one
way ticket. This novel piece OF mechanism
can very properly be called the ticket
agents friend. 1t is also an automatic ac-
countant, as, I'm addition to the other duties
it performs while turning out the tickets
at the speed Of one second when called
upon to hustle it registers the amount of
each sale on piece Of paper. so that at
the end of the days business the ticket
agent can tell at a glance just how much
cash he should have on hand.
While this labor-saving device, IL intro
uuceu IN the CnlteQ states, would knock
out of employment a large number Of
ticket agents. it would do away forever
with the complaints Of the commercial
travellers Of having to wait an unreason-
able time at ticket Offices for exchange
tickets. With few turns of the wheel
the ticket agent could In three or four
minutes supply bowling mob of irate
commercial travellers assembled before his
ticket window and send them on their way
rejoicing without turning a hair from the
exertion.
Those not engaged in railroading have
no idea how many railroad tickets are solo
In year in the United States, and when IL
is stated that over 1000 tickets are sold
On an average every minute OF the twenty
four hours Of each day in the year, Sum
days included. II would most certainly
seem that the figures were bei.g padded,
but they are not, as there are COO OOO 600
passengers carried every year by the rail-
roads of this country.
To realize the great number OF tickets
sold In the United States in a year, which.
as previously stated, is over 1,00O minute
every day in the year, o few comparisons
VIII tend to. in press the reader. These
tickets sold In the course Of q year weigh
1,218 tons and would make good load for
two trains OF twenty cars each, and at that

Annexation of Hawaii and Porto Rico
Just the Thing.

London, July 27.-sir George sydenham
Clarke, the expert on naval tactics and
imperial defenses, writes to the Daily
Graphic strongly approving American an
nexation of Hawaii and Porto Rico. He
says:
TT is for the best interests of the world
that a canal connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific should be controlled by the United
States, and whatever attitude the Euro
pean powers may take, foreign interior
ence in Central America is out of the
question because the interests of the Unit
ed States and Great Britain in the future
will be permanent.
There, Lord SaHsbury's policy towards
the United States is statesmanIike."
The letter was evoked by an article in
the Daily Graphic calling attention to the
reversal of EngIand's traditional policy
to prevent the United States from acquir-
ing strategicaI positions in the Atlantic
and Pacific.
The Daily Graphic, in an editorial this
morning, says it agrees with Sir George
Sydenham Clarke, but is curious to
know what induced Lord Salisbury to
adopt an attitude which has so much IA
cilitated the United States plans.

Governor Leedy refused an application

was arrested at Beloit, back to Holt coun-

Sellers were fndiscreet enough to say that
if he could be taken back to Nebraska he
would be hung and his body filled with
bullets, and Governor Leedy accordingly
refused to honor the requisition. The
sheriff Of Mitchell county made an afr
davit concerning the remarks made by the
Nebraska officers. Sellers is accused with
the crime Of mortgaging property in Ne
braska and taking the property into Kan

Democrat Makes Trouble For the
"Czar's" Congressional Campaign
Washington, July pa good deal of
interest is manifested here in some con-
gressionaI contests which Will be de-
cided next November.
The reports from Maine are that
Speaker Reed may have some difficulty
in securing a reelection next fall. His
Democratic opponent is L. F. McKin-
ney, who once represented a New
Hampshire district in Congress.
During Cleveland's last term as
president Mckinley was minister to
the Republic of Colombia and when he
ago, he settled at Bridgeton, Cumber-
land county, Maine, which is in Reed
district.
When the congressional convention
was held a few weeks ago he was nom
mated as a candidate against the Re
publican cZar.
Mckinney proposes to make a Wig
orous campaign, saying he viii carry
the war into every township. Speaker
time to congress at the Republican con-
ventiOn to be held at Portland Au-
Interest in this contest is not caused
so much by McKinney's appearance as
a candidate as by the conditions sur
rounding the candidacy Of Reed. 1t is
expected the convention will adopt a
platform favoring the annexation Of the
Hawaiian islands and the new imper-
iaI policy of the Republican party. If
these things are not put into the plat
form they will be left out through the
personal influence of Mr.. Reed.
