The names bestowed upon certain dishes
have often an origin entirely distinct from
technical consideration. This is true OF
the well known epigrammes d'agneau - i.
Michelet or II la Toulouse as it is more
frequently called. Michelct was the cook
Of IA young French marquiso of the last
century, who was noted for her lack of
education. On a certain occasion she gave
"a dinner to the officers Of the regiment
Choiscul- Cayaleric. During the function
her guests spoke of II banquet that they
had attended on the previous evening, at
which the host had entertained them with
many new and brilliant epigrams. The
marquise supposed that "epigrams' re
ferred to culinary surprises. Consequently
she summoned Michelct, her cook. and or
dered him to prepare some cpigrams for
dinner on tho following day. Michclct
was greatly troubled as to how he was to
obey the order He recollectcd, however,
that he had i'll the harder some very super
ior lamb. He praised the breast. removed
the bones, cut the meat into pieces and
bread crumbcd and fried them. He then
cooked the outlets, arranged them on a
dish alternately with the praised breast
and served them with Il suitable garrish
under the name Of cpigrammes d'agnenu
u la Michelet, by which name, or IA la
Toulouse, the connection has ever since
been known.--Ncw York Sun.

The Cars Ring.

The car of Russia is said to be very SUI
perstltious and to have great confidence in
relics. He wears IL ring in which he be-
lieves is embedded a piece of the true
cross. 1t was originally one of the treas
ures Of the Vatican, and was presented to
an ancestor of the ear for diplomatic rea
sons. The value which the ear sets upon
the ring, with its embedded relic, is shown
by the following fact: Some years ago the
car was travelling from St. Petersburg to
Moscow. He suddenly discovered that he
had forgotten the ring. The train was
stopped Immediately and a special messen
ger sent flying back on an express engine
Tor it. Nor would the car allow the train
TO move until, several hours afterward. the
messenger returned with the ring.

ENGLANp'S PERIL.
What Would Happen If the Road to Lon
don Were Open.

n the single idea were entertained that
the road to London was open. the effect OF
that idea would be for tho hour ruin such
as the world has never witnessed. The
Manic might, we believe would, suspend
the whole social organization Of the king
dom. All banks would shut their doors.
The means Of paying wages would be I'M
procurable, masses of men threatened
with starvation would be raging in city
streets as the Athenian mob ragged, and
unless parliament had very trusted leaders
its deliberations might only add to the
general confusion. London knows in
stinctively that, if attacked by triumph
ant enemy, it can neither be defended nor
fed; that, in fact, its only solid protection
would be victory in the field, and London,
if it got out of hand, would be n pande-
monium such as only shells could reduce
to order. We English despise foreign ma
tons because their capitals are liable to
excitement" panic, aimlcss insurrcction
airy movements, or revoltS like that of the
commune, but we have no experience
which justiiies our overwCeniEg confidence.
We have no more idea of what London
would be under the influence Of terror
than what the solar system would be if
the law of gravitation were suspended. All
might be, all would be, put right in time,
for the national character is sound. There
must be 600, 900 men in the island who
have been thrAah the military mill, and
the supply of varied capacity is unlimited
but the influence of the dark week would
be felt all throughout our subsequent his
tory. just imagine the effect of the telc-
grams upon India, upon the colonies upon
tho whole of the mercantile plant scat
tered over earth-of which the mercantile
marine is only Il part-accessiblc to the
news. Tho week would cost us % national
debt in money alone, besides its future eff
feet in the destruction of the idea that

the chimney and out at the top. 1t was
necessary to get out of the limo of the draft

MONTREAL, May 21.-Senor Polo,
ex-Spanish minister to Washington,
and party sailed today on the steam
ship Dominion for Liverpool. 1t Is
understood that Senior du Bose, ex-
charge d'affaires at Washington, will
leave the boat at Quebec, and either
remain there or return here.
A United States secret service man
was a passenger on board the Do
minion
Senior Polo y, Bernabe has been loud
in his declarations that no official pro-
test has been lodged against his pro-
ceedings here. but he now practically
admits that he was requested to re-
turn to Madrid. for 1T was learned last
night from an unimpeachable source
that the Canadian government advised
his departure.
Owing to a diplomatic fiction that
such questions are not dealt with by
the Canadian cabinet, 1t was possible
for our secretary Of state to say that
the government had not interfered.
The action was taken by the governor
general, who is the queens direct rep
resentative here, and who. in such mat
ters. Is supposed to. but never does,
act without knowledge of the cabinet.
Lieut.. Carranza, who left this city
Immediately after Downing's arrest, is.
according to statements by some of
Polo's staff, to be sent to the Philip
pines with the relief expedition. Other
Spaniards, however. assert that Lieut..
CarranZa went to Madrid with impor-
tant papers. and will endeavor to join
Cervera's fleet, or the fleet which ex-
poets to coal at MiQuelon.

GREED FOR GOLD.
1t ImpeIs a british Tar to Take Big
Risks.


HALIFAX, May 21.-Prospect of large
financial gain will be the incentive for
hazardous trip to be undertaken by the
British ship Newfoundland, Of this
port, which, it is announced, will make
a voyage to Southern waters soon. The
crew Of the steamer was paid off this
week, but will be reshipped at once.
1t has not yet been decided whether
the run shall be made to Havana or
Porto Rico, but 1t will be to one of
these places. The cargo will be a gen.
eral one. No cOntraband matter will be
taken aboard but foodstuffs will form
large part Of the freight. The orig
inal proposition to take coal has been
dropped. The blockade about Cuba is
thought to be too strict to warrant an
attempt to land such cargo.
In any case there is considerable risk,
but the men are nearly all willing to
sign. The trip may be made under
charter. If not, Capt Farquhar will
load his own cargo. Large profits are
expected if the steamship succeeds In
landing her cargo. Prices are believed
to be away up in Cuba and Porto Rico,
and the strict watch kept on vessels
trying to run the blockade is causing
them to take still further jumps up

Modern Warfare.
TAMPA, Fla, May 1.-Florida heat
is taxing the endurance Of the soldiers
who are accustomed to chimes where
the breezes bring relief from the suns
hot rays According to officers who
have Fseen service. in the West. and
refugees from Cuba, 1t is worse than
would have to be endured in cam
paign against Havana. After several
days experience in the arid and wastes
in which the army of invasion mas
pitched it's tents, an officer who had
campaigned in the alkali plains said:
"This kills Arizona" Gen. Shafter
said today that it Is worse here than
anything he had ever experienced in
the hot valleys of California He said,
although the mercury rises sometimes
to no degrees in California the ninety
odd degrees here are far more eX-
hausting and enfeebling. Cubans say
that the breezes that sweep over Cuba
keep it cool and wholesome. and DR..
Guiteras pronounces It's climate an
ideal one and paradisal IN comparison
with this part of Florida. When the
breeze dies here-and it has habit OF
doing so in the hottest hours of the
day-then the heat is fearful.
SIEGE GUNS.
The forty-eight siege guns that are
coming here for use against Havana
will require a train of 1900 horses and
a. regiment of men. Their use will be
a novelty in modern warfare. No such
n hOn-
bardment of a city. The Germans en-
ployed heavier guns against Paris, Out
their guns were not nearly so eHectlVe
as the magnificent five-inch rified can

capital of Spanish Cuba. Our guns
will carry more than six miles. and Will
be terribly effective beyond the range
of the guns of Blanco's fortified lines
about Havana. Their shower OF shells
will sting the Spaniards into a des-
perate sally against our rapid-fire guns.
or drive them to submission Inc ra-
pidity with which the machinery or
officialdom works was illustrated to-
day. Gen. Shafter who was put IN
charge of a corps on Monday, has just
received Geographic advice Of this from
headquarters.
The regulars do not like the oblitera-
ton of themselves by the great volun-
teer organizations. All semblance OF
the regular divisions and corps has
disappeared, and the volunteers, COM
ing in mighty flood, have engulfed
the little armed force that we are
pleased to call our standing army. The
regiment band of the Sixteenth in

mentary to Gen. Shafter. and all the
officers came to headquarters to pay
their respects to the commander-in-

as Cuba is concerned, by simply keep
Ing up the pressure The blockade is
effective. The complaint Of Spain that
1t is not proves that 1T Is. The Mont
se1rat is the only ship Of consequence
that has succeeded in evading it. If
the United States can maintain and
Increase the constitution upon the Span
ish garrison Of Cuba, 1t will be possible
to put upon it a pressure greater than
it is able to bear
If construction can be accompanied
