DO WHOLESALE COOKING.
Novel Gotham Esfablis h ments Supply
 Restaurants with Cooked Food.

If II were asserted without any eX- planation that there were restaurants In New York which cooked large quan- titles of food day and night and yet which never sold a mouthful to a per son within their doors 1t would certain ly arouse doubt CT ridicule. Yet such as the fact. There are more than forty establishments of this class in New York. Their customers are not hungry men, but restaurants, eating booths. oyster stands. and free lunch counters. There was time when every place of this sort owned and used its own kitch- en. but the increase of rents, the de crease in the size of store property and the greater economy necessitated by keen competition have brought the wholesale restaurant into existence and made it a financial success.
 Most of these affairs are on the east side and are managed by Germans. He brews. Swiss and English, their num- ' bers being in the order named. They supply roast beef. lamb, veal, mutton. corn beef and pork, pot roasts, baked and boiled fish. fried oysters, clans, scallops. eels, fishballs and soft-shell crabs, boiled potatoes, cabbage, turnips and beets.
 A few supply larger bill of fare, but the demand for their goods is compara- lively limited. They purchase good. wholesome material, employ excellent cooks. own efficient delivery wagons and run affairs upon a good business basis.
 When you pass an oyster stand and see nicely fried oysters and soft-shell crabs neatly piled upon platter, and decorated with little sprlgs of parsley, twice out of three times you look at the wares of these establishments. The tiny restaurants in the business dis tricts. and especially those which cater to clerks and workingmen, depend al- most entirely upon the wholesale res taurants for their food. Oddly enough, says the New York Post, they can sell their cooked food to the retail restau- rants for less than what the latter would pay for the raw materials. This comes from buying wholesale in very

Three shots were fired at the governor general of Warsaw, and the minister of the interior was assassinated at St. Petersburg. All these crimes were committed by students or by their friends, and may ue interpreted as a response to the severe measures re- gently taken by the government against student agitators. How severe these measures are Is indicated by the fact that in Moscow alone six hundred stu dents have been condemned either to exile or imprisonment. The process is that known as administrative order,
 that is. a simple police hearing. in which the person accused has small chance to vindicate himself. The min ister of education, General Vannovski, the one Russian official of high rank who has shown sympathy with reform. has resigned ill despair because the re- actionary elements are too strong for him. At the other social extreme there have been riots of working men. partly on their own account, as an incident of strikes, and partly to express sympathy with the student agitation. In the southern provinces there have been outbreaks of peasants, aimless and un- organized the expression apparently of blind revolt against the misery Of their lot In Finland there Is deter mined resistance to recent edicts for tne Russianizing of the army. The communal governments have refused to obey the edicts, the conscripts sum- moned have not responded, and at Hell singfors, the Finnish capital, there has been street fighting between the peo- pie and the Cossacks. Russia Is vast empire, and Is ruled so autocratically that a revolutionary propa gaDda en- counters peculiar difficulties. The press is censored. and there is no op- portunity for public assembly. But these simultaneous den -onstrations of unrest among different classes of peo- pie and in widely separated parts of the empire tell story of revolt which is the more pathetic for being seem- ingly hopeless

The drift of young men toward the
 engineering professions is one of the
 marked developments of an industrial i era in which inventive genius is har-
 messing the forces of nature to every
 possible form of productive energy. The electrical field is particularly alluring. l this department in the technical schools
 being crowded beyond the facilities provided for instruction. In order to prepare students to enter upon success l full careers in the yaroius departments
 of engineering these technical schools | have arranged their curricula with ref
 erence 10 teaching the largest amount of science and engineering that can be l compressed into the time at the stu dents disposal. The schools have | found it necessary to omit from their courses many studies which were for l merly regarded as essential to lb- eral education. Chief among these are
 the languages and English composition. 1 That this is serious defect in techni- l cal school training Is now becoming
 manifest in all branches of modern en- 1 gineering and, singularly enough, the technical journals are the first to rec
 ognize it and to call attention to it. The benefits to be derived from a study of modern languages by those who are preparing for profession much of the l literature of which is written in other l languages than that spoken by the stu dent, would seem to be plainly obvious. But If instruction in foreign languages
 must be dispensed with. the acquire
 ment of ability to speak and write the
 English language clearly. concisely and | logically would seem 10 be of the first l importance to engineers. 4 man may be an expert in some department of en- gineering and may have a most com plete knowledge of his subject, but
 without the ability to impart his ideas
 to others in good English he suffers Q
 severe handicap. Says the Electrical i Review: "The value of an engineering
 report does not depend so much upon | the erudition and the familiarity with
 the subject exhibited by the engineer
 making it as il does upon his ability to
 make clear and explicit his reasons. to
 show logically the origin of his deduc- tions, and t0 impress others with his
 conclusions. It is precisely this art which has been neglected. Facility in the use of language is a tool in the
 hands of a competent man with which
 he can accomplish much. Mere knowl
 edge without this facility is practically useless The technical school, how ever. is not alone ID the matter of de fcient training in English A similar complaint is lodged against the high
 schools and colleges. It is gratifying
 to note. however. that the engineering
 journals are joining vigorously in the
 general appeal for more thorough and exact training in English expression.

Rain Shields,

In some form or other the umbrella was in use many centuries before the Christian era. We See 1t depicted in the paintings and sculptures of Egypt. In China and Japan the umbrella has been in existence as far back as his tory can trace, and the full war attire of Japanese soldier included not only a fan. but very large parasol. At the beginning of the seventeenth century umbrellas were introduced into Eng land as a fashionable fad. In those days they were made of feathers In imitation of the plumage of water birds. Later, oiled silk became the or dinary material In the reign of Queen Anne. as a protection in wet weather. they became of general use amongst women. That the stronger sex dis dained them. although mems dress was just as gay and rich as that of ladies, is proved beyond q doubt by many writers of the period.

Cuts Ten Tons of Hay Yearly and Gets
 It In on WheeIbarrow.
 At the base of Bog Mountain Is a farm under cultivation. owned and carried on by Silas Prescott. There Is no highway leading into this place.
 About seyenty-fiye years ago there was a large family of boys, sons of Samuel Prescott. settled on or near Prescott Hill. One of these, Josiah, about sixty years ago cleared up a few acres of tillage and built a house at the base of Bog Mountain. Much of the lumber he carried on his back from the highway. a distance of half mile. He lived there the remain ing part of his life. Five children were born on this farm.
 One of them, Silas B.. now 54 years of age, has always lived on the birth place. His father died In 1876 and his mother in 1891. Mir. Prescott lives alone, the town giving him his taxes on condition that he ask for no high way.
 reporter called upon him and as- certained that he lived alone, had ten acres of tillage. cut about ten tons of hay. and gets It in on a wheelbar- row. His great hobby Is keeping bees and he has the business down fine, some years receiving large returns. This year the bees are a failure as to honey. They are so tame with him that he can spread honey on his face, Iia tho hna. will come and take the honey away and do not sting him. He handles them with out any fear.
 Mir Prescott says he never gets lonely. He spends a great deal of time in hunting and fishing. and in the season for them gets very many skunks. He says he has caught as four of these odoriferous animals In a night without dog. He takes q lan- tern on his arm and sets out for a nights hunt. A bridle path leads from the fourth New Hampshire turnpike to his place. The darkest or stormiest night has no terror for him.
 Mir. Prescott once won a bag of meal on a wager that he could carry 1t home a distance of two miles. letting down and putting up two pairs of bars him. self. without setting the meal down. For diet he uses crackers, canned goods, fish. game. and berries in their season.
 The reporter asked him how he would like a woman to keep house for him. He had good many ifs in his answer. He seemed to enjoy his mode of living as well as any he could have. In winter he cuts some wood and lumber, but summer or winter, work is not allowed to interfere with his interest in sport or recreation.
 For several years he was a mem- Der of Messer Rifles, Company A, Sd Regiment, N. II. N. c. He was obliged to walk eight miles, and was one of the most regular attendants at the company meetings. He was count ed as one of the best, and gave credit to his company. taking great interest in 1t and its affairs.-Wilmot (N. H. Dispatch in Boston Advertiser.
