American Table Manner Not 30 Open to
Criticism ~ Formerly.
IL has been conceded that the degree
OF civilization . people has reached may
be accurately measured by its dietary.
Now. some one has said that 1.-The
American feeds the Englishman de-
YOURS, the Frenchman dimes. In view
Of this statement one wonders what the
English have been doing through the
centuries to have advanced % little. We
do not pretend to answer for them, but
would say for ourselves. we have been
hewing our way through forests, pio-
neering in every direction, in every
sense-ample apology for feeding in
stead Of dining.
But, OF course. IL was q Frenchman
who made the declaration, and, Of
course. he made it long ago. when, NOR
trying though it be. honesty oompels
MS to acknowledge that we may have
been guilty. Times, however, and con-
ditions have changed, and not even the
most bigoted Frenchman will refuse to
admit that when the American has
reached the dining point he will have
more TO dine upon than any other man
in the world. The culture Of man in
America will demand all the art in his
cuisine that France by study has evolv-
ed, with the added merit Of honesty in
his food. the disguises incident to pow
erty OF material not being . necessity.
There 10 no departments Of supply in
which we have not the advantage. and
we are learning to use our materials az
rapidly as we have been obliged to
learn all other things Morris

In the loftiest tower in the CITY of
Vienna there is novel instrument
known as the toposcope, constantly at.
tended day and night, for the purpose Of
locating fires 1t consists Of a good tele-
scope, which is solidly attached to an
arrangement OF levers, while graduated
sections of circle are arranged horizon
tally and vertically in such a way that
the moving of the telescope sideways or
up or down results in o change of posi-
ton OF the hands attached to the levers
in reference to the graduated scales.
Thus, the stability Of the apparatus be-
ing assured by the firmness Of the fas-
tening, whenever the telescope is focus
ed upon the same object the hands will
point to the same figures ON the hori-
sontal and on the vertical sextant, and
since an index of the whole CITY has
been made it is but a matter of few
seconds, when glare is discovered at
night, to direct upon the spot the topo-
scope ON the side, to read of the num-
bers, to look up the object and to tele-
graph to the central station the details
observed. Local conditions are, OF
course, necessary for the successful oper-
alton Of such al apparatus, but in this
case they are said to be almost perfect.
The tower is over 900 feet high, and an
uninterrupted view Of the great area OF
the city Is thus possible to the watch.

Z New York Policeman Rewarded Eos
Catching . burglar.


4 New York Policeman Rewarded 70,
Catchins . burglar.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt writes an
article entitled 1.-The Roll Of Honor OF
the New York Police" for The Century.
Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Early in our term we promoted pa
trolman to the grade of roundsman for
activity in catching . burglar under
rather peculiar circumstances hap
pened to note his getting burglar one
week. Apparently he had fallen into
the habit, for he got another the next
week. In the latter case the burglar es-
capped from the house soon after mid
night and ran away toward Park ave-
nue., with the policeman in hot chase.
The New York Central railroad runs
under Park avenue. and there is q
succession of openings in the top Of the
tunnel. Finding that the policeman
was gaining on him. the burglar took q
desperate chance and leaped down one
OF these openings at the risk OF break
ing his neck. Now the burglar was
running for his liberty, and it was the
part of wisdom for him to imperil life
or limb. but the policeman was merely
doing his duty, and nobody could have
blamed him for not taking the jump.
However. he jumped, and in this par
ticular case the hand Of the Lord was
heavy upon the unrighteous The bur-
glar had the breath knocked out Of him,
and the ''cop" didn't. When his victim
could walk. the officer trotted him
around TO the station house, and a week
afterward he himself was promoted, it
appearing upon careful investigation
that he was sober. trustworthy and
strictly attentive to his duty.
Here again it seems TO me that we
follow ed the eminently common sense
plan OF promoting a man who had earn
Ell his promotion by faithful and dis
tinguished service and by proved supe-
rior capacity. We cared no more for
the policeman views on the tariff or
the currency than we did for those of
the burglar. Our interest and the inter
est OF citizens generally was to have the
officer catch that burglar and otherwise

we're for him; if he did not, we were |

exposed US to wild outcries from the

much sneering at civil service reform,
nut all the outcries and sneers meant
vas that we were doing our duty as de-

ome slight appreciation Of what was
implied by the words honor and up-
'iShtness. Political organizations are
