Random Observations.

Hotel cooking is not what it was years
ago. when the whole bill of IRE was tine
tured with a common flavor. Culinary
science has advanced since then, and with
modern appliances and modern chef the
bill of fare comprises wide range of
davors and is vastly more appetizing.
Even so, hotel cooking pals after a time,
and only the palmer home fare can appeal
to the faded appetite. The other day the
writer sat at table in the little cabin of
the steamer NJ. & NJ. in company with
two men, who if not trav cling men had
evidently travelled and frequented the
leading hotels of the larger cities; and it
did one good to note the relish with which
they partook of the plain but substantial
fare Baked shad, boiled potatoes, boiled
onions, cold roast pork with brown
gravy, pudding, custard and apple pie,
comprised the bill of fare; not to forget
biscuit brought in hot from the oven.
Everything was we'll cooked and neatly
served, and the faces of the diners fairly
beamed with satisfaction. Have an
other onion?'' pass NE that brown
gravy "Those potatoes are prime,
etc, etc. We left before they had reach
ed the dessert.

1t has got to be a standing, and time
worn Joke anent the farmer and the
weather and the various trials he under
goes in the endeavor to raise profitable
crops. Sometimes there is too much
rain, and sometimes prolonged drouth !;
and sometimes, as now, caterpillers and
other insect pests abound. Perhaps these
things may be borne more patiently with
the knowledge that worse things befall
other sections of the country. On the
writer first visit to Texas there had been
no rain for eighteen months, and as no dew
falls in the western part of the Lone Star
State the drouth there can be better i'm
agined than described. There was not
sign of vegetation anywhere. The ground
" as bare, the trees leafess, and the earth
was cracked open in places wide enough
to admit wagon. There was but little
tillage in this section; stock raising was
the chief industry, and the cattle had to
be driven into the mountains for feed and
water. In the same State, later, we saw
a grasshopper invasion. These insects

Two years ago the country was really
experiencing ''hard times" and although
conditions have changed and signs of
property are everywhere manifest some
people do not seem to realize that good
times have come again. In recent visit
to neighboring town some of the people
we met took the darkest possible view Of
the business situation, yet the stores
seemed to be having a lively trade and
there were all the outward signs of pros
porous community. The changes in the
manufacture of clothing brought about in
the recent 'hard times resulting in the
transfer of work from the country to the
cities, were seriously felt in this section
but there has been a revival of this indus
try, and it bids fair to remain with us.
All other local industries are tiourshing,
and only chronic grumblers can find fault
with the situation.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Sooner or later the world comes round to see truth and do the right Htllard.
 There is no substitute for thorough going, ardent and sincere earnestness. Dickens.
 Not to be able to bear poverty IS a shameful thing, but not to know how to chase it away by work is more shameful thing yet.-Pericles.
 It is by the goodness of God that we have the possession of three unspeak- ably precious things-freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence of using neither of them.- Mark Twain.
 Some men are very entertaining for a first interview, but after that they are exhausted and run out; on a sec- ond meeting We shall find them very flat and monotonous; like hand or gans, we have heard all their tunes Colton
 If religion is to be tried by any out ward test. that Is surely to be found in the answer to the questiOn. not how a nan dies. but how he lives. It will be well for those who believe in Chris tianity to leave no advantage to the sceptic In that species of argument Principal Caird.

PIGEONS OF LONDON.

Of all the common sights of London none is more interesting than its pl- geons, which bring a suggestion of old-world stateliness into the turmoil of the city. There Is a particular flock for most all the big buildings of Lon don, and they are to be found all over the city. A curious fact observed is that the birds on the east side of a huge building have nothing to do with those on the west side, while the bird residents of the north and south sides keep quite as much to themselves.
 The birds live a glorious life, for everybody pets them. The judges of the law courts feed the pigeons, not scraps, but grain and such things as birds like. Dozens of clerks in the law yers' offices scatter food for the birds daily in Kings Bench walk, while the keeper of a coffee house religiously brings bits of broken bread for his feathered friends
 One of the prettiest sights is to see the pigeons which live on the British museum. There are half dozen read CTS who make a practice of feeding the birds and the pigeons will abandon strangers who come with full hands for their old friends, even when they appear without food The cabmen are great friends of the pigeons, which seem to realize these men are good friends to cultivate for rarely Is there one who will not scatter a handful of grain from the horses nosebagA

ODDS AND ENDS.

In France, If a person dies leaving sufficient money to pay his debts, the doctors bill Is settled first, and then the rest of the deceased's liabilities are dealt with.
 There is monastery at St. Honorat, on an island near Cannes, France which has existed since the fourth cen- tury. During the fourteen centuries since it was built no woman has ever been allowed to enter it's walls.
 London is admittedly one of the healthiest places in the world, and It's inhabitants generally manage to live to a good age. Mir. Charles Abbott, who was also known as the Abbott of Charterhouse," died last month. as.sr completing hls 1O1st year. He was the last survivor of family of twenty two brothers and sisters, one of whom died only few months before com- pleting his century. Mir. Abbott carried his age well, was not teeto- taler but drew the line at tobacco.
