Books Rather Than Food.

Success gives an interesting anecdote
told by Agassiz of his visit when a
young man to the great German nat
uralist, Professor Lorenz Oxen.
The professor received his guest with
warm enthusiasm, but apparent embar-
rassment. He showed his visitor the
laboratory and the students at work,
also his cabinet, and lastly his splendid
library of books pertaining TO geological
science, a collection worth some 81, 900,
and we'll deserving the glow of pride
which the owner manifested as he eX
plated on its excellence The dinner
hour came, and then the embarrassment
of the great German reached its maxi
mum point. IN Agassiz, he said,
with perturbation, "to gather and keep
up this library exacts the utmost hus-
bandry of my pecuniary means. To ac-
complish this allow myself no luxury
whatever. Hence my table is restricted
TO the plainest fare. Thrice a week our
table boasts of meat, the other days we
have only potatoes and salt | very
much regret that your visit has occurred
upon a potato day. And so the splen-
did Switzer and the great German, with
his students, dined together on potatoes
and salt And what must those students
have enjoyed in the conversation of
those remarkable men

TeIIine Him the Truth.

"Why, tell him the truth, of course.

ing to smoke. Now, before it goes any

suit may be. You may die in year,

Going without sleep.

1t is an interesting question to studi-
Gus people how long man can go
without sleep. A physician asserts that
no healthy man can overwork because
eventually nature will compel him to
fall asleep at his task. A journalist re-
Gently claimed TO have worked 70 hours
without sleeping. Humboldt said that
when young man he required only
two hours sleep each night, but that in
his old age he found he really needed
as many as three or four. Victims sub
jected to the Chinese torture Of being
kept continually awake die on or before
the fifth day. By far the most inspiring
example however, is that of one of the
saints, who is related to have lived 10
years without sleep and to have remain
ed standing large portion Of that time.

ca.t,Iian Cuisine.

Oil and pepper are the two things
that esIet tally characterize the Castilian
cuisine. One Of the favorite dishes in
Cuba is "tasajo, which is simply dried
meat, cooked with tomatoes, red pep
pers and onions "Tripa la Andaluza"
is another preparation frequently seen.
AS tho name indicates, the basis is
boiled tripe, which is cooked with beans
and potatoes, and always served with
the small red Spanish sausage known
as "Butafarra Catalina. A similar
sausage, only black, is known as Buta-
farra Astoriana
Chile con carne," which everybody
eats, is nothing more than a thick stew
of beef (carne) and beans seasoned with
chiles. Spanish "tortillas" are corn
cakes favored with red peppers, and
differ from the Mexican tortilla in that
the latter, when properly made, are
rolled in chopped vegetables. A salad
la Espanola is prepared of lettuce
and celery, with few sliced tomatoes
and peppers Served with French dress
ing it is very good.
The Spanish soups are as rule lit
tie too heavy for the American taste,
which runs more toward the consomme.
They are thick decoctions, full of vege-
tables, and look frightfully greasy.
Soup, however, does not have the i'm
portant role among the Spaniards that
it plays in French domestic economy.
and is an article of secondary impor-
lance Tue dishes named are pretty apt
to appear ere long on home menus, and
it is interesting to know in advance
what they are composed of. New Or

pearance. The kid has been worked hard
recently and was wild. He was only hit five
times. but gave six bases on balls and three
of these appear in the score as runs. Two
or three plays that would have brought
blush to the face of a wooden man were
also directly responsible for two of the
runs. The Hoosiers stole bases almost as
they pleased and nearly every time Dixon
attempted to catch one of them at second
he threw wild. Outside Of Dixons work and
the two or three bad plays made the game
was good one and the several hundred
fans who witnessed it had little cause to
complain.
Phillips was in the box for the visitors
and the Millers could do little with him.
They never did take kindly to the blonde
pitcher from Indianapolis and to-day was
no exception. The champions scored first in
the second inning on McNeely's error,

of ceremonies on the restoration of the
flags. At Harper's Ferry, in the spring of
1861, the Sxtieth Ohio lost it's regimental
flag, and tonight George W. Barrier re-

made a feeling speech, in which he, adj
dressing the flag, begged its pardon for not
seeming TO have defended it truly
