trine of eating to live quite sordid,
even as the mania for living to eat
Is dissolute?
MUCH TO LEARN.
We have much to learn from The
japanese, Chinese, and French con-
cernng their habits of amiability and
even decorous jOyousness at the family
table. How lugubrious is the average
family meal with us! 1t seems to be
a lnere meeting place in many fam

Back pepper is the king of food
accessories, but one cannot enjoy it
in the thirty-third degree until one
learns how to get it and how to use it.
A pepper expert ought to know
whether he is in London, Paris or
Amsterdam by the pepper, if nothing
else. In London the pepper is strong
without fragrance, going there from
tic Straits Settlements. In Paris fra
grant with little strength, from the
Ma'ubar coast of India. In Amster-
dam from Java, with neither strength
nor fragrance. The peptic and tonic
effects of black pepper proceed from
lipei inc, oil and resin, which are only
obtained in full when the berry is
plucked before ripening; after ripen-
ing the berry is vilely manipulated
into white pepper, so that, it will be
seen, white pepper is merely spoiled
black pepper. Red pepper is another
story, as Rudyard says, and the writer
has just sent out circulars for the
Fan American exposition, which is to
b. held at Buffalo next year, to all
the rotentates, planters and botanists
of the countries and states of PAN
America, from Patagonia to the Phil
ilpines, arranging for collection ex-
tnnslve and exhibit extraordinary of
al kinds, sorts. and varieties of red
peppers grown in all the gardens and
plantations of all the Americas.

RAILROAD TIES.
Cost More Than the Metal Which Is
Used Upon Them.

Henry Hall in Pittsburg Times.
The demand for railroad ties in the
United States is something enormous.
A new mile of standard single track,
without taking into consideration the
switches and sidetracks, requires about
4,500 ties. The average life of a tie be-
ing five years, every mile will require
about 5000 ties in ten years This
means that the Pennsylvania company
requires 100000 ties every year for
that part of its system west of Pitts
burg; the New York Central nearly o.
100000 between New York and Buffalo,
and the Erie about 100000 every year
between Jersey City and Salamanca.
1t Is estimated that under the best pos
sible conditions, and making no allow
ance for fire and other accidents it
would require a plot of ground 1000
acres in extent to grow 100000 rail-
road ties, and that thirty years would
be required tn develop them. Estl-
mating that in every thirty feet Of
standard single track railroad there
is nearly ton of steel, the cost of ties
for the same distance Is even greater
than the cost of the metal

HAD 60 CHILDREN.

In the Harleian manuscript-num
hers 97s and 9SO-in the library of the
British Museum. mention is made of
the most extraordinary family that
has ever been known in the worlds S
history. The parties We're Scotch
weaver and his wife, who were the
father and mother Of sixty-two chill
dren. The majority of the offspring
of this prolific pair were boys (exactly
how many of each sex is not known.)
for the record mentions the fact that
forty-siX of the male children lived to
reach manhood's estate, and only four
of the daughters lived to be grown-up
women. Thirty-nine of the sons were
still living in the year 1880, the ma
jority of them then residing in and
about Newcastle-on-Tyne.
1t is recorded in one of the old his
tories of Newcastle that "a certyne
gentleman of large estaytes" rode
"thirty-and-three miles beyond the
Tyne to prove this wonderful story"
1t Is further related that Sir J. Bowers
adopted ten of the sons. and three 9TH
er "landed gentlemen" took ten each.
The remaining members of the extra
ordinary family We're brought up by
the parents.

lures now used for apartment
house purposes, will be turned into
hotels for the exposition season. In
some cases. the proprietors of these
apartment houses have made arrange
ments to have their tenants move out
in the spring, spend the summer in
the country and return to their apart
ments after the exposition. This will
make an admirable arrangement, as
it will leave fewer vacant premises on
the hands of landlords when the expo
sition crowds have ceased to come.
The Columbia National bank building.
the Law Exchange and other first
class business structures in the busi-
ness district will be used for tempor-
ary hotels. In short, there need be no
fear that Buffalo will not have ade-
quate hotel accommodations for eX-
position visitors desiring to lodge IN
hotels.
PRIVATE QUARTERS.
But the experience of past eXposi-
tons shows that very large propor-
ton of those attending eXpositions
prefer to secure accommodation in
boarding houses or private homes ra-
ther than in hotels and therefore the
people OF Buffalo are preparing to
open their homes to PAN American
guests upon a generous plan. All over
the city these private homes and
small boarding houses are being made
ready for the reception of guests by
slight but adequate changes in the
interior arrangements. In this way.
the accommodations can he extended
indefinitely and excellent accommoda-
tions offered for the crowds who are
sure to come and who will make the
exposition the great success which it is
bound to be with such an attendance.
