attention was attracted by seeing on the
bill of fare the special announcement that
''Venison saute' was among the luXuries
of the house. Two plates of the article
were ordered. The bill was paid and the
sale of the goods was complete.
When the warrant for tne arrest was
served upon the restaurant keeper he was
willing to have it that the venison was
raised upon the wilds of Telegraph Hill

shoes. Upon being questioned as to where
he procured the deer meat he stated that
several days ago Supervisors Black and

CURIOUS DRUG TESTS.
Physicians Often Try Them on Dogs
and Other Animals.

Many physician, who has failed TO
get the expected effect from medicine
prescribed for a patient, has thus been
led to suspect the strength OF the drug
on which he has relied. On the suppo-
sition that it possessed a given purity
and qaulity, he would specify such and
such an amount as a dose. But il ne
knew that the drug in question was OF
inferior quality, he would either in
crease the amount or use something
else. The honesty of the retail drug
gist who filled the prescription might
be entirely beyond doubt. Probably
he was imposed upon in making his
purchases from wholesale dealers.
And until complaint was made by a
physician the druggist would remain
ignorant of the deficiencies of his
stock.

strength of any one of the drugs used
should be only one-half or one-quarter
as great as he anticipated, and had a
right to anticipate, the result would
probably be disappointing. The life Of
a patient, and perhaps the reputation
Of the practitioner, might be lost
through lack of sufficient virtue in the
means employed for overcoming dis
ease. Yet the person who was really
to blame, the jobber who had inno-

Of the consequences of the transaction.

ARRANGEMENT OF FURNITURE.

Many people have natural gift for
arranging rooms, and may be called
artists in the art, while others have no
idea at all, and their rooms, despite
costly or really beautiful articles OF
furniture or ornament, are always prim
everything is so very badly placed.
A table in a drawing room should
never be in the center of the apart
ment. Let it be pushed away, and the
chairs disposed of in such a manner
that it may be seen that they are in
tended to be sat upon. Chairs placed
against the wall or rammed into cor
ners is an ugly and inappropriate ar
rangement. Have what the French
call little Establishments in the room,
if it be large enough. For instance,
near small or large tables, have two or
three chairs or chair and a lounge,
enabling those visitors, should several
call at the same time, to talk comfort
ably, which is impossible if a large
party have to sit in circle and join in
a general conversation.
A table upon which ornaments and
books radiate in star-like shape is
very ugly. Let the books and orna-
ments We placed in studied careless
ness, and avoid primness in every way.
1t is rather the rage in the present
day to decorate rooms with trifles.
This is mistake, and often really
pretty ornaments are not seen to ad-
vantage because of this. Allow suffi-
Gent margin of space between yoir
pictures and ornaments, so that each
may be properly seen.
A superabundance of Japanese fans,
common knickknacks, bits of pottery,
china animals, cheap frames, and GIN
cracks generally, should be avoided,
though on the ouner hand much that is
tasteful in the way of ornament can be
had nowadays very inexpensively. The
mistake is in the crowding of two many
of them together, and having gewga VS.
which are really rubbish.
Do not have newspapers and maya
zines scattered all over the room. Let
the old ones be put by and the latest
be LAID on table kept for that pur-
pose. Unused lamps should never
be kept in Grawing-room especially
when they diffuse an odor of kerosene
They are out of place by daylight, and
should only be brought in lighted
wien necessary. Candles should al
ways be begun, and even if not in con-
c q N Chn1.id 1nnly
Candles not begun have a very sense
less appearance and look as if placed
for ornament, which as matter of
fact, they can hardly claim to be.
All clocks should be kept going. If
the clock will not do it's duty send ii
to be repaired, and if it declines to go
after judicious treatment then put it
aside, for silent clock is depressing
object.
Brackets are very inexpensive, and
with little taste can be made to look
very pretty. Ovals, shields, rounds,
or shamrock-shaped pieces of wood
covered with velvet or plush are ex-
cellent backgrounds for china. They
are better undraped.
In fine, with books, natural flowers,
work-basket, pretty hangings, and
little care and taste expended in
general arrangement, the drawing
room may look charming, and be in
perfect taste, even though it is very
small indeed, and the intrinsic value
of its contents be trif1ing.

ROADSIDE FRUIT TREES.
They Are a Source of Much Profit in
Some Foreign Lands.

The cultivation of fruit trees along
the highways has been so successful
in France that it would be we'll for our
farmers to consider whether the prac-
tice merits introduction in this coun-
try. In the consular reports for
september Is Consul Brunot, of st.
Etienne, states that roadside fruit
cultivation has become an important
branch of national Industry" The
government first set the example. The
stately poplars that 20 years ago orna-
mented the roadsides and sent their
roots far and wide, sterilizing adjacent
meadows and tripping the pillow, have
been displaced in the northeastern
parts of France by plum trees which
now bring in handsome revenue.
Large quantities of this fruit are sold
in baskets in Paris and other cities.
Still larger quantities are distilled into
an excellent alcohol, which brings 60
cents al gallon and is in increasing de-
mand. The products of fruit trees in
France are estimated at $50, ZOO, 900.
Says the report: ut is not in France
only that fruit trees have been planted
along the roadside; in Germany, Bel
GUM and the duchy of Luxembourg the
system has. =. been greatly developed.
giving satisfaction to the state as well
as to local interests. On the routes
of Wurtemberg, for instance, the
fruit harvest from this source pro-
duced in 1878 over 100000, and last
year the return had more than
trebled. The annual revenue de-
rived from the national roads of Sax
ony planted with fruit trees rose from
$4,000 in 1880 to $42 900 in 1892, fur
nishing a total sum of $4,000 for the
Is years. In Belgium, according to
the statistics of 1894, over 1880 kilo-
meters of roads were planted with
71,571 fruit trees, which furnished
the almost incredible sum of $4,000, 900.
I'm Westphalia, In the duchies of
Baden and Saxe-Weimar, in Alsace-
Lorraine, Switzerland, etc, the en-
ployes of the administration of roads
and bridges and the road supervisors
are instructed in fruit arboriculture,
In some of the southern departments
of France the roads are bordered with
cherry trees, producing the small
fruit called merise wild cherry,
much appreciated for making wine sui
generis, preserves, and even alcohol.
I'm the Touraine, plum trees domi-
nate; while in the Allier and the
Limagne, the walnut trees transform
the roads into shady walks. In
Auvergne, the chestnut tree iourishes;
while in Normandy place is naturally
given to the apple tree"
Beyond question the condition of
the roadsides in this country is often
discreditable to landowners. Sloven-
ness and unthrift give over too much
good soil to worthless trees and
weeds. Fruit trees of certain sorts
might well replace the briers, locusts
and stunted cedars that cucumber
fence corners. 1t may be questioned,
however, whether our rural police, or
rural public sentiment, is strong
enough to protect from rogues the far
mer's or the country's right to edible
fruits grown anywhere near the
roads.

PLACES THAT BRING TROUBLE,
Few Cabinet officers Have Foun
Their Positions Sinecures.

Secretary Alger is far from being the
first cabinet officer who has found the
position embarrassing. Jefferson, in his
diary referring to the controversies be-
tween himself, as secretary of state IN
the cabinet of Washington, and Alex
ander Hamilton, as secretary of treas
ury remarked that 1--WE were pitted
against each other like two fighting
cocks" This condition soon con-
strained Jefferson to resign, and Ham
ilton did not remain long after him.
Some of the scenes between the first
President Adams on the one side and
Timothy Pickering, secretary of state;
oliver Wolcott, secretary of the treas
ury, and James McHenry, secretary of
war, on the other, one of which is
given to the world in a letter by Nc
Henry, were picturesque in their tenn
pestuousness and led to the retirement
of all three of them.
Everybody remembers the story of
how Jackson, in 1882. said he would
hang Calhoun, then vice president
higher that Hannah, if South Carolina's
notification in that year carried her
into rebellion. There were several
men in Jackson's cabinet around the
same time for whom Jackson. for a
much smaller offense than Calhouns,
had about the same sort of feeling.
One of these was William J. Duane,
secretary of the treasury, who refused
to obey Jackson's request to remove
the government deposits out of the
United States bank, which Jackson was
fighting at that time, and who was him
self removed by Jackson in conse-
ouence. Others were Samuel ]. Ing
ham. an earlier secretary of the treas
ury than Duane; John Branch, secre-
tary of the navy, and John Mop. Ber-
rien, attorney general. The wives of
these three, like Calhoun's wife, re-
fused to. recognize" Mrs. Eaton, the
wife of the secretary of war, who was
particularly close friend of Jackson's.
Martin Van Buren,, the secretary Of
state, had no wife--he was widower-
and consequently was free to extend
social attentions to Mrs. Eaton, which
he did with his accustomed grace and
delicacy, and thus won the everlasting
friendship of Jackson. He was substi-
tuted for Calhoun as Jackson's political
heir. and went to the presidency on
Jackson's retirement. Ingram, Branch
and Berrien were sent out of the cabi-
net and went over to the wings. The
afait got into politics for the time and
the democratic partey was shaken to
!. its center. This episode, which was
one OF the most absurd incidents" in
American politics, was called by the
wags of the day the Peggy o'Neill
war" O'Neill having been Mrs. Eaton's
maiden name.

WHAT MY LOVER SAID.

BY the merest chance. in the twilight
gloom,
In the orchard path he met me;
In the tall, wet grass, with its faint
perfume,
And ! tried to pass, but he made no
room,
oh, | tried, but he would not let me.
So stood and blushed till the grass
grew red,
With my face bent down above it,
While he took my hand as he whis-
pering said
(How the clover lifted each pink,
sweet head,
To listen to all that my lover said;
Oh, the clover in bloom, love it'll
In the high, wet grass went the path to
hide,
And the low, wet leaves hung over:
But l could not pass upon either side,
For found myself, when l va,nly
tried,
In the arms of my steadfast lover.
And he held me there, and he raised
my head,
While he closed the path before me.
And he looked down into my eyes and
said
(How the leaves bent down from the
boughs o'erhead,
To listen to all that my lover said:
oh, the leaves hanging lowly DER
meD
Had he moved aside but a little way.
l could surely then have passed him;
And he knew l never could wish to
stay,
And would not have heard what he had
to say,
Could l only aside have cast him.
1t was almost dark and the moments
sped,
And the searching night wind found
us,
But he drew me nearer and softly said
(How the pure, sweet wind grew still,
instead,
To listen to all that my lover said:
oh, the whispering wind around us! }
am sure he knew, when he held me
fast,
That I must be all unwilling;
For tried to go, and l would have
passed,
AS the night was come with it's dew
at last,
And the sky with it's stars was fill
ing.
But he clasped me close when I would
have fed,
And he made me hear his story,
And his soul came out from his lips
and said
(How the stars crept out where the
white moon led,
To listen to all that my lover said;
Oh, the moon and the stars in
gloryD
know that the grass and the leaves
will not tell
And I'm sure that the wind, precious
rover,
viii carry my secrets so safely and
That no being shall ever discover
One word of the many that rapidly
fell
From the soul-speaking lips of my
lover;
And the moon and the star that look
over
Shall never reveal what a fairy-like
spell
They wove round about us that night
in the dell,
In the path through the dew-laden
clover,
Nor echo the whispers that made my
heart swell
AS they fell from the lips of my lover.
