TAE sPLAsHlNe HOUSE.
4 French Yarn That Was Printed to
Ridicule EnSliShmen.

One If the most extraordinary tales
ever invented about Englishmen by
foreigners was the ''splashing house"
story, given to the world by the Paris
Journal Patrie in 1SCS. An ingenious
writer in the paper gravely informed
his readers that in the suburbs of Lon
don were houses where ''earth beaten
up into mud is retailed" To these
houses men were accustomed to resort
in hunting kit for the purpose OF being
splashed with mud.
''These curious establishments are
provided with muds of different coun-
ties. but principally of those counties
where the hunting is best. The sale of
the mud is conducted in the most Sc
rious manner imaginable; the attend
ant inquiries, From what county, sir,

casts an eye of appreciation toward the
mirror, takes Il whip in his hand and
goes to exhibit his muddy clothes in

in order that it may be supposed that
he has just returned from grand

In addition to the chance of marry
ing an heircss which this remarkable
display of dirty clothes cOnfers on
their wearer, says the French news
paper man, the patron of the splash
ing house" has another more imme-
diate advantage. The mud with
which lie is splashed affords, If not

LESS TIME REQUIRED.
Why American Locomotive Builders
Are Given Contracts.

The use of American engines on British
railways especially upon those In Egypt,
is discussed in report by the Earl OF Gro
mer. the British consul general in Cairo, a
COPY of which has just reached the treasury
bureau of statistics. The report states that
American manufacturers are able to fur-
nish engines of their standard types at
lower prices and in less time than British
manufacturers, but that for specially man
ufactured engines upon orders, differing In
detail from American types, the prices Oh
British manufacturers are slightly below
those Of the United States, and that tests
Of American and British engines in actual
service have shown that the American en-
gines consume from % to so per cent more
coal than those manufactured in England.
Two offers from American and BRITISH
manufacturers for specially made engines
according to specifications issued by the
Egyptian railway boardtare quoted. In one
of these the British price is 2,249 POUNDS
sterling and the American price =, 700 pounds
sterling, and in the other case the British
price is 1880 pounds sterling and the Amer
lean price 1916 pounds sterling. 10 thls,
however Lord Cromer adds: "On the other
hand the American Arm {Messrs. Burn
ham, Williams & Co, whose works are
known as the Baldwin, works. offered to
supply engines differing in certain particu-
lars from the Egyptian designs and speci-
fications. but which they held to be OF
equal power and equally suitable to Me
work which had to be performed. Under
these conditions the American prices fell,
respectively to / ,S55 and 2.415 pounds ster-
ling-that is to say, 10 per cent below the
British. The reason for this great fall In
price is sufficiently obvious. 1t is thus ex-
blamed by Mr.. Trevithick. The American
firm. he says, were able to introduce their
stock standards and to advance work con-
tinuously without being hampered by, to
them, unknown and unnecessary conditions,
an advantage which, in my opinion, quite
accounts for the difference in the cost and
time Of delivery between the two makes of
engines
much in the matter Of price as In respect
to the period required for the construction
that the American manufacturers have had
the greatest advantage not only over Brit
ish, but over all other competitors The
figures in this connection are, indeed very
remarkable. On the two occasions given
by Mr.. Trevithick, when British and Ameri-
can firms entered into competition, the for
mer offered to complete the orders in forty
eight and in ninety weeks. respectively.
The American offers, on the other hand.
were for delivery in eighteen and thirty
five weeks II the Egyptian designs and
specifications were followed, or in twelve
and thirty weeks If certain changes in the
designs were allowed.

Influence Of Cooking Schools.
From the Chicago Tribune.

rOu Tue Cnlcag0 Tribune.
1t Is said that the influence Of the cook
Ing schools is already being felt in domes-
tic life, and that the standard Of living,
or at least of cooking, is much higher be-
cause of these modern institutions. For
merly the school girl ate. or was told to
eat, what was set before her, and grum-
blings Of a astronomical nature were not
tolerated. But now the young girl looks
with a critical eye upon the cooks prepa-
rations, and she knows the reason why
when these do not turn out well. Through
her the family has lost much IL it's pa
thetfc dependence upon the professional
cook, and cookless condition is robbed of
half it's terrors when there is an amateur
Of no mean ability within the family cir
Gle. And the effect upon the pupil herself
Is most beneficial, for only one who has
grown brain-weary of figures and dates
knows the delight Of mixing up actual In
gradients and awainting material results.
1t is also much to be hoped that the train
Ing of amateur cooks will cause those who
consider themselves professionals to look
to their laurels and to give over the hit
or-miss methods of cooking, which,
So often decide If our day
Shall be fretfui and anxious or joyous and
gay.
With higher culinary ideals the mental and
spiritual development Of man ought to be
assured.

WITNESSED A TEST.
Gen. Greedy Saw the Weather Bureaus
Wireless Telegraphy Operated.

"AASASoo @SAS6 A~FAJ ~ISA~SSA'
General Greedy. chief signal officer, has
just returned to the city from North Caro-
lima, where he witnessed a practical test
Of the system of wireless telegraphy de-
veloped by the United States weather bu-
reau The general declines to express any
opinion as to the merits Of the system, for
the very good reason that he has himself
invited proposals for supplying the War
Department with system of wireless
telegraphy, and he does not desire to con-
vey the idea to would-be bidders that he
already stands prejudiced in favor Of any
one system.
The signal service Is seeking for any
operative system Of wireless biography
that will work with precision over a dis
lance Of 100 miles of water seven days in
the week If necessary. Such a route is pro-
jected between ST. Michael and Cape Nome
where cable communication cannot be
maintained owing to moving ice. The sig
nal service also calls for bids for g. land
system of wireless telegraphy, connecting
some of the interior military posts in Alas
ka. the principal route projected being over
200 miles long. 1t is. realized that In the
more difficult to operate over land than
over water, so the signal service advertise
ments permits ofWthe reception of bids
which contemplate fthei erection of relay
stations between the teDspini. Already Cen
eral Greedy has received assurances that

tries. 1t is understood that the United

ented, and any bidder rs consequently at
liberty to propose tensupply the department

AMERICAN APPLES,
Demand for Them Can Be Created in
GERMANY

Vice Consul Liefeld at Frieburg reports
to the State Department that prominent
fruit and produce dealer in the grand duchy
Of Baden recently told him that a large
demand for American apples and apple
products could be created In Germany il a
little more care were taken by the pro-
ducers and exporters. He said that the
dried apples arrive in fair condition. but
that the evaporated apples do not; nor
can they be kept In the market for any
length Of time, for they soon become noldy
or decay.
The dealer suggests that the apples should
be more thoroughly evaporated and then
properly packed for the export trade. He
says there is a great demand for Ameri-
can evaporated apples, and If they can be
received in better condition there are pros
poets OF a still further increase Of trade,
He also referred to the unsatisfactory
condition in which raw apples are often
received. and suggested that the same care
should be taken In handling and packing
apples as is used with oranges. If they
were packed in parer or In layers of straw
1t might be guaranty Of their arrival in
sound condition.
If these points are taken into considera-
ton this gentleman claims that the mar
ket for American apples and products
thereof will be enormously enlarged.

Education IN philippines.

From the Manila Voic&nos March 8.
1t was Rizal who argued that education.
of all things. would lift his countrymen
from the slough of Ignorance and Incidence
and start them upon the highway of prog
ress and happiness. Certainly. he could not
ask. were he alive today. to have more or
greater effort put forth In this direction
than is being exhibited by the bureau of
public instruction. But miracles must not
be expected. The little red school house
was many years developing into the high
school. our national college. Probably adj
vancement will be rapid in the Philippines.
since we have the advantage OF long expe-
rience and the most modern facilities; but
II, at the end OF five years, a public school
system shall be firmly established In the
Philippines It will be aatriumph. And this
viii be the case. More people. at the END
of sixty months. will be: able to speak Eng
lish than acquired Spanish in 800 years aln-
der the old regime. And this latter state
ment is substantially what I heard an In
telligent native say.
