HORSES VISIT SALOONS.
Turned Loose They Went Over Their
Accustomed Route.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Scores of iron gray brewery-wagon
horses. minus their usual adjuncts of
wagon and driver, trotting in business
like manner in pairs through the streets
and making stops at all the saloons on their
routes. was the unusual sight that caused
early morning pedestrians throughout the
northeastern section of the city Tuesday to
pause and stare in establishment
The animals which were going over their
routes on their own account belonged to
the brewery of Weissbrod Hess. Fire
was discovered in the hay loft of their sta
BILE on Martha street shortly after
o'clock in the morning A hundred head of
horses that were confined on the first floor
Of the stable were turned loose on the
street, while the employees of the stable en-
deavored to extinguish the flames. For
while no one had time to bother about the
horses after they had been gotten out of
the burning building.
Being left to their own devices, the ami
mails showed the effect of their business
training. After scampering around for a
few minutes, the great majority of them
paired off with their usual team mates and
started off to cover their accustomed routes.
When the stable boss finally realized where
the horses were going, he went to the tele-
phone and called up all-night saloons on the
different routes. Keep your eyes open for
place" he said to the bartenders.S DE
tain them until we can send man to
bring them back" By o'clock all the
horses except two had been captured.
One of these was black coach horse, the
other was a bay roadster with white feet
and face. AS they were not employed to
draw wagons they did not stop at any of
the saloons near the brewery, but headed
for their accustomed route in Paramount
Park. Only two of the brewery horses
seemed to have any other thoughts than
those of business. With what seems like
more than equine intelligence, this pair APP
pear to have realized that it would do no
good to attend to business without driver
or wagon. They recalled pleasant days
spent in idleness on a farm near Holmes
burg during a recent vacation, and deter
mined to profit by their suddenly acquired
liberty by taking a holiday in the country.
This team started on a canter out Frank
ford avenue. Never deigning to stop at
any of the saloons, they quickly reached
the Bustleton Pike and galloped out to their
pleasant pasture: Their holiday was cut
short by the owner of the place, who rec
ognized them and returned them to the
brewery in time for them to be sent on their
usual route.

The Woodchuck.

From Country Life in America
Perhaps no wild mammal Is more IA
mliiar to country people than the wood
chuck. Every hillside and meadow is dotted
with the small piles of earth which mark
the doorway to his home. The woodchuck
prefers hillside or knoll In which to dig
his hole, for here he can easily make the
end of his den higher than the beginning.

their passengers by tenders now come di-
recuy 10 the landing stage, the baggage
being carried on an endless chain to the
custom house across the road.
Owned by the City.
These docks have cost an enormous
amount of money. but they are owned by
the city. The total expenditure for MAX
ing them was more than one hundred mil
lion dollars, but they bring in a revenue of
T.500,0O0 a year. so that on the whole they
may be said to be a fairly good investment.
They are controlled by the dock board, con-
Sisting of men who are elected by those
who pay dock dues to the extent of $50 per
annum.
The city is continually buying new
ground for docks and improving the port
in every way. 1t is now clearing away
several blocks next to the landing stage
and putting new streets through them. A
part of this ground will increase the dock
ing space and another part will be given
up to public baths. including what promises
to be the finest Turkish bath of the world.

on the ocean. They fear that the other
great ships of the country may go the same
way, and that, through our trade associa-
ton with France and Germany, Great
Britain will lose her large carrying trade.
Today the British have more ships than
any other people of the world They have,
all told, about $4,000 vessels in the united
kingdom and the colonies, and their ton
mage amounts to more thaR--ten millions
They carry about two-thirds of their own
goods and a large proportion OF those or
other nations. They carry more than 90
per cent of our exports and imports. They
carry A per cent of the foreign trade OF
Russia and a like amount of that of Bel
GUM and Holland; 43 per cent of the i'm
ports and exports of France; 20 per cent Of
the imports and exports of Germany, and
% per cent of those of Italy are carried in
English bottoms.
There are more than quarter of mil
lion men from this country whose business
is following the sea, and there are thou
sands at home interested in ships and ship
ping. The loss of the shipping trade would
therefore imperil the lifework and positions
of these thousands, and also that OF the
other businesses connected with them.
The national feeling in regard to British
supremacy on the seas is still very strong
AS children they have been taught that the
oceans are to a large extent their property,
and the words Britannia rules the waves
have long been in every British mouth.
Many of the people look upon the shlpplns
as the foundation of the prosperity of the
nation, and to lose some of their greatest
lines at one fell swoop fills them with the
dreariest of forebodings.
The Matter of Shipbuilding.
Another thing which is mixed up with
the loss of the ships is the thought that
the loss of England's supremacy in ship
building may eventually follow. 1t is
part of Uncle Sans policy to build the
ships which sail under his flag, and al
though in the present instance an eXcep-
ton may be made to the ships already
built, they fear that, if we are to monopo-
lie the CARRYING business of the world, we
will want TO monopolize the profits Oh
making the ships as well.
This fear may be and probably Is with
out foundation. 1t takes time and money
to build great ships and ship yards, and
today the British have the largest ship
yards of the world. They build more ves-
sells than any other nation. In 1880 they
constructed LII vessels for themselves
and 262 for other powers. Their facilities
in this respect are such that they might In
time replace the ships they have sold with

in the dining room, and the menu was as
follows:
Tea. Lemonade. Claret Cup.
Savory Fingers.
Sandwiches. Salad.
Orange Cakes. Ping-pong Ices
Ping-pong Cake.
Savory fingers are a dainty admirably
suited for a fete of the sort. They are
made as follows; put some Vienna flour on
a pan and dry 1t for about eight minutes in
the oven; turn 1t now and then to prevent
browning; then pass it through a sieve and
weigh out four ounces. Put two ounces of
butter and half a pint of water into a
saucepan. Let them boil and then throw
in the flour. beating the mixture until 1t is
smooth. When the batter will roll about
the pan without sticking to it the dough is
ready for rolling. Prepare it. piece at a
time, on well-fioured board. shaping it
into rolls about as long and thick as a.
finger. Place these two inches apart and
bake them on a creased baking tin. Brush
the tops with the beaten yolk of an egg.
Slit open one side of each of the fingers to
see that they are hollow. If they are not
scoop out the soft parts. Then fill them
with a mixture prepared thus: Take an
ounce of butter melted in a saucepan to
which one ounce of flour has been stirred
until smooth. Pour over this half pint of
milk and leave 1t over the fire until it boils.
Mince quarter of a pound of cold chicken,
two ounces of cold ham, one teaspoonful of
parsley, half teaspoonful of onion and
add them to the sauce. Mix and season
with salt, pepper and nutmeg Allow the
mixture to cool and then fill the cases.
Serve on fancy paper poilfes.
Cake and Trimming.
The ping-pong cake was the piece de re-
sistance of the refreshment table. Its man
ufacture proceeded as follows: Half a
pound of butter and six ounces of powdered
sugar were creamed together, and, one by
one, four eggs were added to the mixture.
The grated rind of two lemons, five ounces
of chopped orange peel and half pound OF
divided glace cherries were measured out
One pound of -four, large teaspoonful of
baking powder and quarter of a teaspoon
full of salt were sifted together. These were
lightly stirred to the butter and eggs; to
the fruit was added three-quarters of gill
of milk. These were mixed well and put
into prepared cake tin and baked in
moderate oven for about one and one-half
hours. When done the cake was turned on
a sieve to cool The icing, tinted green
with spinach juice, was then put on.
For ornamenting the cake white icing was
applied in lines to represent a net. Rackets,
traced the side of the cake, were built
of rose colored and white icing. Glace
cherries served balls
Ices were served in tiny souff1e cases,
shaped like ping-pong rackets bearing
large ball, cut open across the top.

The Daily Wage.
Prisoners are allowed a portion of their
earnings in France. Germany, Italy, Switz-
erland, Russia, Sweden and Denmark At
the Maison Centrale. Melun, France, the
average prisoners salary is 50 cents per
working day. OF this amount the convict
may spend one-half while in prison for
extra food. clothing. postage. etc, upon ap-
prevail of the prison authorities. The other
half of this pay is reserved until the con-
vict's discharge. A three-year convict has
to his credit on discharge about $50: a four
year convict, $50; fve-year, $50. To guard
against the discharged convict's wasting his
accumulated savings they are, in some
countries, deposited with a prisoners aid
society or a public official.

In hundreds of our prisons there are able

idleness is even more deplorable than this

There are s.. 329 prisoners in confinement

JACK SHEPPARD'S HOUSE.
Destroyed Along With Wych Street on
Historic London Thoroughfare.

From the London Mail.
Wych street, quaint old thoroughfare at
the city end of the Strand, has now finally
passed out of existence. 1t was in the area
of the Strand-Holborn improvements, and
its destruction had for some time been de-
cided on. In a few months time gigantic
buildings of the most modern type will
take the place of the quaint old houses,
rich in historic memories, that made it one
of the points of interest in London.
On Wednesday Jack Sheppard's house in
this street was finally closed and handed
over to housebreakers. Jack Sheppard
lived there when serving an apprenticeship
as carpenter. His name was carved by
himself on beam in the kitchen, where it
remained until a few days ago. The beam
is now being transferred to the museum of
London antiquities and curiosities being
gathered by the London county council
Wych street had many other associations
besides this. The Shakespeare Head 81 at
one time had as it's landlord Mark Lemon
the famous humorist, who in after years
became editor of Punch. At the Globe
Theatar many chapters of modern theatre
cal history occurred. The Globe is best
known to modern theatergoers as the scene
of Mr.. Penley'S triumphs and as the birth
place or Mr.. P1nerOS Cay Lord OueX"
Almost opposite the Globe was the gigan-
tic olympic Theater, a house noted for hay
ing perhaps more runs of bad luck than
any other London theater. Its great size
and its unfortunate position gave it little
chance. In recent years it was rarely oc-
cupled. Charles Dickens was associated
with many revels around this street A
more tragic memory lies In the fact that
Bishop Hooper was taken from the Angel
Inn, then at the bottom, to his death at
Gloucester. Wych street took it's name
from Drury Lane. of which it was a CON-
tinuation. In old times the lane was
known as the Via do Aldwych Among
other houses of amusement which in the
phitheater
