STRANGE FOOD OF AMERICANS
An English Woman Tells her """
trywomen About What she
Ate While Here.

An EnoIish woman who visited Amer
;ca short time ago has been telllng
her countrywomen about the strange
food across the water" VI course she
discovered green corn, but she hau
been quite prepared for that. oySter
crabs were quite new to her.
"They look like Boston baked beans,
she explains, "but they taste much Det-
ter"
An oyster cocktail filed her with awe
and enthusiasm. She tried 1t al Dei.
monico's and thought it was soup VI
course. in England, one didn't serve
soup in a glass, but then neither dld
the English serve boiled eggs in glass.
One could never be sure of Americans
OF canvas back duck she has poor
opinion, but thinks she might like IL
better if Americans would nave 1t
cooked, or even warmed. As for terra
pin. she sings its praise. She found 1t
much like calf's head, and she always
liked calf's head Shades of Mary
land gourmets, what slur is there.
"All the puddings in America are
pie or ice cream" she says, but it must
be understood that pie does not mean
game pie. The Yankee pie is tart and
is ubiquitous, she explains.
She sat next to an American man
who ate a lump of cheese with his
strawberry pie and turned platetul
of ice cream over both, but she doesn't
know that that is general custom.
The oysters were good, but had most
impossible names, and the cookies,
meaning CLAIMS, are excellent. On the
whole Yankee food and cooking are
good, but there is too much food on
the table at one time.

why He Got Ten Days,

At an army fort near New York
there is near-sighted captain who is
very sensitive about his sight. He
wears glasses of the very thickest
make.
In his company is private who, ex-
cept for his slovenliness, is one of
the best soldiers in the fort He is an
Irishman, and, like all his country
men, quick at reply. His many good
qualities have saved him from pun
ishment, but his tongue got him into
trouble the other day.
The company's arms and clothes
were being inspected. The captain
looked at the private's belt and said
angrily:
"Your belts are always dirty. What
the deuce do you mean by it?"
81 beg your pardon, SIR" was the
reply, ''but think it hard that when
I clean my things with the naked
eye they should be inspected with a
magnifying glass"
The private is now in the guard
house for ten days, and his leave to
visit the city has been suspended in
definitely.-N. Y. Times.

Joke ON BULLFIGHTER.
A Frenchman Is Invited to New York
to Fight Tammany
Tiger.

Not long ago French bullfighter
of Beaucaire named August Fabre.
who was not particularly prosperous,
thought he saw an opening for his
talents in America and wrote to New
York for an engagement, writes the
Paris correspondent of the New York
World. To his surprise he received
this answer:
"It is not slayer of bulls we want
in New York this fall, but a slayer
of tigers"
The great Fabre had never heard
of Tammany and he took the mes
sage literally. Screwing up his cour-
age with a few drinks of absinthe,
he called back: agreed for the tiger
fight. Am going into training. Send
date"
Then the ingenious bullfghter told
his comrades and was preparing to
learn the way tigers should be at
tackled and conquered when he met
friend better posted than himself
on American idiosyncrasies, and from
him he learned the truth But he
cautioned his friend to silence and
himself said nothing. So the inhabi-
tants of Beaucaire remain convinced
that in New York arenas are main
tanned for tiger fighting.

ENGLISH FEAR OF INVASION.
"Destructive-Insect Act" Comes Into
Force Again-Is AimedAat the
Colorado Beetle.l

Fear of invasion is more or less
chronic among Englishmen, who, for
sturdy race, are singularly subject to
nervous alarm. For years past parlia-
mentary vigilance has been directed
against the Colorado beetle, which.
having in 20 years spread from the
Rocky mountains through all of east
ern America, was in 1877 threatening
the coast of Europe. 1t was in that
moment of peril thatparliamentp passed
a "destructive-insect act," under the
provision of which every person meet
ing with specimen of the beetle in
any of it's stages was bound, under a
penalty of 6 10, to notify it toapolice
constable, who must at once inform
the local authorities, who must tele-
graph to the board of agriculture. Be-
sides this, any person keeping or SELL
ing living specimen of the beetle in
any of its stages was liable to the
same penalty of G 10. Stimulated by the
fear of the penalty many specimens of
the beetle kind were reported to the
proper authorities, and the prisoner
duly discharged upon proof being Of
fered that the suspect was of British
antecedents.
This year, according to the New York
Post, the old act comes into force
again through the discovery of the Col
orado beetle near Tilbury, and we may
have the chance to see tested, in small.
muchmooted theories of stamping
out" imported nuisances by le gis sla tion.

Flowing of Metals.

1t is, perhaps, not generally known
that one of the most important prop
critics of metals employed in striking
coins and medals, and stamping and
shaping articles of jewelry, is that OF
flowing under pressure. Standard sill
yer is remarkable for this property,
which precisely resembles the flowing
of viscous fluid. The flow takes place
when the metal is subjected to rolling
stamping or hammering, and the par
ticles of the metal are thus carried
into the sunken parts of the die with
out fracturing, and a perfect impress
sion is produced.

MOST WONDERFUL EXPLOSIVE.
Inventor of Maximite Tells What 7,
VIII Do-Has stood Every
Government Test.

Hudson Maxim, the inventor ~
"Maximite," which has recently been
adopted by the United States gov.
ernment, gives clear account of his
remarkable invention in Leslies Pom
ular Monthly.
"Maximite," he says, "which has
recently been adopted by the gov
ernment, has satisfactorily stood
every test to which it has been sub-
:ected, and there is none of the fore
going requirements which it does
not fulfill perfectly. 1t is very mex
Icnsivc of manufacturer has a fusion
point below the temperature of boil
ing wat ter; cannot be exploded from
ignition, and, indeed, cannot be heat
ed hot enough to explode, for it will
boil away like water without explod-
ing. 1t is, therefore, perfectly safe
to melt over an open fire for filing
projectiles, in the same manner that
asphalt is melted in a street cal.
dron. Should the material by any
chance catch fire. it would simply
burn away like asphalt, without ex-
ploding. When cast into shells, it
not only solidifies into a dense, hard,
incompressible mass on cooling, but
it expands and sets hard ON the
walls of the projectile, like sulphur.
That is to say, it expands in the
same way as water does in freezing.
"When a shell filled with it strikes
armor plate, the Maximite does not
shift a particle, and it is so insensi-
tive that it not only stands the
shock of penetration of the thickest
armor plate which the shell itself
can go through. but it will not ex-
plode even if the projectile breaks
up on the plate"
