THE RICE TABLE.


A Distinctive and Remarkable Meal
Served In Java.
"At O'clock" says a correspondent
of the Kansas City Star, every hotel
in Java serves n most distinctive and
remarkable meal called the rice table
rijst- -tafeD. A large, fiat, bowl shaped
dish is placed In front of you, which
you fill with beautiful, white, f1aky
rice, borne about in dishes holding fully
n quarter of bushel. Then comes q
seemingly never ending stream of ma
tives, each bearing a dish containing
some different meat, vegetable or con-
diment, from which you take small
portion and place it on top Of the rice.
After you have had little Of every
thing you mince it up with knife and
fork and mix 1t well with the rice and
then fall to with a large spoon. A list
of the side dishes, with an ordinary
rice table, would read something like
this: Fried eggs, omelet, fried chicken,
broiled chicken. stewed chicken, beef
steak, sausage, fish, fritters, mixture
Of vegetables stewed with a mustard
dressing, raw cucumbers, liver and ten
or twelve different spices and relishes.
besides pickles.
Many a stout Dutchman have we
seen take q liberal helping from each
dish In addition to almost a quart Of
rice for background of table Natu-
rally every one must go to sleep imme-
diately after such a meal, and all buas-
ness is suspended for several houE1
The dinner in the evening at o'clock
Is very simple meal"

Where AIlspice Grows.

The island of Jamaica produces about
all the allspice that is used. 1t is known
also as pimento, or Jamaica pepper. The
tree on which the berries grow is ever
green, and the flowers grow in dense
clusters. These develop into small
green aromatic berries, the size Of black
pepper. If allowed to ripen, they be-
come pulpy and lose some Of their pun
gency. For commercial purposes the
berries are gathered when green, care
fully dried in the sun and afterward
packed in bags holding 160 to $50
pounds and shipped. Pimento trees
grow in many parts Of tropical Amer
lea, but nowhere do they thrive as in
Jamaica. The trees are never planted
by man and receive no cultivation
worthy of the name. The seeds are
dropped by the birds, and the rains and
the tropical sun do the rest. Surplus
trees are cut down and become walking
sticks and umbrella handles. This spice
is more mild and innocent than most
other spices.

One of the commonest causes Of bad
teeth is that Of taking very hot food.
If you take cup of very hot tea or
coffee. the enamel on the teeth eX-
pands. and breathing the cold air after
ward causes it to contract. This alter
nate expansion and shrinking of the
enamel works havoc with it, and when
it cracks. as it soon does, the inner

Venetian Hospftality.

Whatever might have been said
against the Venetians, they were a
hospitable people-this, too, in small as
well as in great matters. When, for
example. in 1476. an ambassador from
the khan Of Tartary visited the city
and it was known that the khan and
his suit carried but one shirt apiece in
their bags, the senate formally voted
20 ducats that they might be provided
with additional shirts, which were ac-
cordingly made "alla tartarescha" and
presented. We can imagine how the

A favorite joke in cheap theatricals
is a gay old man who is running
around after the young and pretty
girls. It's not true to nature. Young
and pretty girls soon tire of an old
man. They do not pay him any atten-

ings. Old men are rarely gay, but they
are usually bilious.-Atchison Globe.

SILK FRAUD TRUE BILLS.
Indictments Found against Rosen-

Indictments were returned yesterday against
A s. Rosenthal, Martin L. Cohn and Charles
Browne the latter the silk examiner who passed
the Rosenthal & Co invoices.
In the afternoon W. Wickham Smith said that
he did not expect any arrests last night, but
further than that he declined to talk about the
indictments When asked what harm there
would be in giving out the fact of the indict-
ments of the importers. as they were under
$4,000 bail. he replied Suppose they were in
dicted with some else?"
Ex-Judge Dittenhoefer said that he had heard
rumors of indictment against his clients,
Rosenthal and Cohn. He added that an indict-
ment was only accusation and based upon
the statements from one side. Grand juries, he
added, usually returned indictments whenever
the District Attorney insisted. Mr.. Dittenhoefer
said he was not surprised a the finding Of the
| indictments. as he had been expecting them for
several weeks. He did not care to state what his
defence would he. but added that if the case
ever came to trial he felt confident the jury
would acquit without leaving their seats.
The November federal grand jury made it's
report yesterday to Judge Townsend in the
Criminal Branch of the United States Circuit
Court. The foreman handed up a large batch
