To Know Good Meat.

Let us imagine ourselves before a
butchers block having on it four
pieces of beef presenting faces from
the roun- or sirloin. One is dull red
the, lean being close-grained and the
fat \ very white; the next is dark red,
the lean lose-grained and sinewy and
the fat yellow; the fourth is bright
cherry-red, the lean smooth and
medium-grained, with fiecks of white
through it, and the fat creamy
neither white nor yellow. The first of
these is cow-beef; the second, bull
beef; the third, beef from an old or i'll
conditioned animal, and the last is OK
beef. Ox-beef-that from a steer-is
the juiciest, finest favored, sweetest
and most economical to buy of all beef.
1t is called prime" when the lean is
very much notified with the white fat
fecks, and when it is from a heavy,
young animal (about four years ODD
Stalled on corn. Beef from a young
COW that has been well fed and fat
tened is next in merit to ox-beef. Beef
from an unmatured animal is never
satisfactory, being tough and juiceless.

English That Is Clear.

Is not the best English in COM
position plain and clear English?
Two writer's of it in this country may
be cited as proof of the fact-Ben-
Jamin Franklin and Abraham Lincoln.
1t is doubtful if they have ever been
surpassed in our land in this quality.
Gen. Grant impressed everybody by
the attractiveness of his memoirs, and
this rose directly from the clearness
of his thought and the simplicity of
its expression.
Neither Franklin nor Lincoln had
the advantage of a college education
and the training on classical models
that accompany it. and Grant pre-
sumably paid little attention To
literary style at West Point. Franklin
imbued his mind with the Spectator
papers, but it is probable that his
straightforward method of saving
directly what he had to convey was
only supplemented by their perusal.
1t was said of Lincoln that in youth
rul life he never came so near losing
his temper as he did when people
talked to him in terms that he could
not understand.
He was sometimes homely, but
always direct, in speech, and there was
the element of spontaneity in his
eloquence. No man has ever written
who presented less evidence of labor
IN his composition than did he. That
modern school of fine writing, which
is involved in its sentences and OBJ
seure in its method of conveying
meaning, is essentially vicious in COM
parison with these earlier examples

His Views Did Not Hold When 1t

A government official, who moved
over on Capitol Hill about three
months ago, has been particularly
known on that eminence by his eX-
IRENE American views and his ever
lasting antagonism to thrones and
scepters and everything monarchical.
However, there seems to have come a
change over the spirit of the man, or
somebody is misrepresenting him. A
neighbor of his was talking to re

The neighbor hesitated moment

viii concede to the miners demands
by Monday III fact it was said by one
of the higher officials of the union
that the statement was not drawn up
until positive assurances had been re-
ceived that the other companies
would comply with the demands.
Likewise at WiIkesbarre.
.Wilkesbarre, Oct. 26.-The bulletin
announcing the ending of the great
miners strike was received here last
night with the greatest enthusiasm by
all classes. The news has been ex-
pected, and large crowds collected in
front of the newspaper offices. Among
companies that have not posted no
tees in this vicinity are the Susque-
hanna Coal company of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad system, but some time
ago officials of that company issued a
statement that when the strikers were
ready to return to work the company
would pay it's men the same as the
other companies. There are some in
dividual operators who have not post
ed notices. 1t is said they are holding
back until they can get a better carry
ing rate from the big coal companies.

Food For Fishes.

Prof Charles l.. Bristol has paper
in the Century, illustrated with full
page pictures in tints, describing the
Treasures of the New York
Aquarium" Strange as it may seem,
the favorite tidbit of fishes that are
little "off their\feed" is bit of sailed
codfishl
Sometimes a fish will refuse to eat
for days, as did the large moray that
came from Bermuda. At one time
this great eel tasted for eighteen days,
and at another time for twenty-seven,
thus causing its caretakers the ut
most anxiety. Eagerly they study the
bill of fare provided for their patients.
Now live herring is offered, now a
dead one; now soft-shell clam in the
shell, now quahog minced fine; and
so on through the list until the fasting
animal is enticed to eat. The most
attractive morsel to a moping fish
seems to be a strip cut from sailed
Goldfish and manoeuvered about on
long stick to give it the appearance of
being alive.
The regular daily feeding of the
animals is another source of care, not
only in regard to the special diets of
the various kinds of fishes, but also
in the serving. the dietary is quite
varied, as some fish are vegetarians,
many carnivorous, and few omniv-
orous. The vegetarians are few in
number, and feed on soaked cereals or
green plants in season. The carni-
vors have various tastes: some are
fond Of soft-shell Gains alive in the
shell, others will eat only quahogs or
little-neck clans minced fine; some
will eat only living fishes that they
can capture, others thrive on fresh
dead fishes from which the bones have
been removed; some require a diet of
live shrimps or small crabs; and
almost all enjoy bit of sailed Goldfish
as delicacy. Besides the fishes
there are the turtles, seals, Holsters,
sea-anemons, and others to provide
for, each requiring a special know
ledge of its wants and habits through
all the seasons. The number of
mouths to be fed regularly exceeds
three thousand, and the supply of
food comes largely from Fulton Mar
ket; but the live fishes and shrimps
must be caught and handled by the
attendants, who draw their supplies
almost entirely from the nearby
waters OF Sheepshead and Gravesend
bays.

sian population of Siberia may be said
10 comprise the following three
classes The Cossacis, who first con-
luered the country; exiles, political
and criminal; dissenters from the
Greek church, who were either ban
ished to Siberia or went there of their

inal Russian population OF Siberia
consists OF men and women who were

their fellow country men and women
who remained in European Russia.
The result is that to-day the average

ligent man than tho average Russian.

other field of action, would fill the

local carpenters was called and q
school building, such as desired, was

These buildings have been con-
structed in such q manner that when
no longer required at one site they
can quickly be taken apart and, II
need be, moved to another. They are
twenty-four by thirty-six feet, inside
measurement. The floors are con-
structed in eight sections, the sides in
six sections, the ends in four sections
and the roof in sixteen sections. Each
section is strongly put together on
frames, and these are bolted in such
manner az to make a perfectly tight
and secure room. The joints between
the sections are covered both inside
and out by movable pieces, which are
held in place by screws. The heating
and ventilating' are furnished by an
indirect furnace with double casing.
The fresh air is taken directly from
the outside, and the supply cannot, in
any manner, be cut of or reduced be-
yond a proper limit.
