THE TWO SANS,

There are unusual fraternal ties be-
tween the two SANS of the Massa-
| chusetts delegation. One is Sam" Nc
Call of Winchester, the other Sam
Powers of Newton. Both gradual e
from Dartmouth college, where they
were classmates, and both studied law
for a time in Nashua, N. Fl. 1t was
there that Mccall saved his present col
, league from a good thrashing.
As law students, neither possessed
large blocks of gilt edged securities,
and therefore helped exc out an exist
ence by teaching night school, The
sturdy youth there improved this
means of an education numerously.
The classes which met in one room for
both teachers included boys of Drawn
and snews who by day worked in the
iron forge One evening trouble was
brewing, as trouble will come in school
sometimes, and Mccall beheld the lead
err of the students from the forge Crap
pling with the present president of the
Tantalus club. His followers were
ready to participate in the fray, but
Mccall, with that tact and diplomacy
which conspicuously fit him for the
court of St James, took in the situation
at a glance. Powers could handle the
ringleader. That was sure enough
But with the rest Of the forge at his
back there could be no doubt of the out
come.
"Leapng to the front desk" said Mr.
Mccall as he told the story yesterday
in the republican cloak-room, II shout
ed so that all the school could hear me.
Fair play, here boys. You keep
your seats and let your man fight it out
with Powers. | will not interfere for
him. We must have a fair fight
THAT appeal was needed. The boys
from the forge kept their seats and saw

POE AND THE FRENCH

The keener appreciation in Europe of
literature as fine art is no doubt the
main reason why Poe is looked upon
over there as our most noteworthy
poet Poe certainly had more con-
summate art than any other American
siger and his productions are more
completely the outcome of that art.
They are literally feats THE Raven
was as deliberately planned and
wrought out as is any piece of mechan-
ism It's inspiration is verbal and
technical. 1.-THE truest poetry is most
feigning," says Touchstone, and this is
mainly the conception of poetry that
prevails in European literary circles.
Poe's poetry is artistic feigning like
good acting. 1t is to that extent disin-
terested. He does not speak for him
self but for the artistic spirit He has
never been popular In this country, for
the reason that art, as such, is far less
apprecia ted here than abroad The
stress of life here Is upon the moral
and intellectual statements much more
than upon the esthetic We demand a
message of the poet a aa gfiflhkflkk
teach us how to live Poe contributes
to our stock of moral ideas; he made
no appeal to the conscience or man
hood of the race; he did not touch the
great common workaday mind of our
people. He is more akin to the Latin
than to the Anglo-SaXon. Hence his
deepest impression seems to have been
made upon the French mind.-John

BLACK WALNUT.
WOOD THAT MAS BECOME TOO
V1LUABLE
To he Used, ut once, For Fence
Rails

The best black walnut in the United
States is found in Indiana. Forty
years ago there could be found in this
State a crop of black walnut I'M
equalled in quantity and quality. To-
! day it is not to be found in such I'M
mense trees Neither is the number OF
| trees by any means so numerous. Years
ago the largest and best trees were
used for fence rails and such common
| purposes AT that time it had no par
| ticuar commercial value. Before wal
| nut came into general use, the most of
domestic furniture was Of cherry Wal
nut has now entirely superseded this
and all other woods. Fence rails can be
found to-day through Indiana that
were split more than half century ago.
and they are as sound now as then,
save the wear and tear. OF all hard
! woods the walnut is most durable, save
red cedar, and possible in the ground,
black locust would equal it,
Our walnut is comparatively gone In
Isolated parts of the country, where this
timber grows, there is yet some of in
ferior quality, but to a limited extent
But the general black walnut growing
in the deep forest, in the rich loWlands,
in its primitive nature, is a thing of the
past. The general supply must now be
gathered from the four quarters of the
earth to supply a demand that requires
g. century for its elimination and it's
elimination witnesses the astounding
spectacle of the almost entire extinction
of the valuable material.
Kentucky has quite a good stock of
black walnut, and much that is very in
ferior on account of its gray color and
tough, hard texture. Missouri also has
some Of rather an inferior quality.
Western Ohio and West Virginia is
poor in quality.
The whole stock of the States is not
equal to full demand for ten years to
come. Furniture manufacturers do not
now use it as lavishly as they did five
years ago. Other woods are substituted
when possible and 1000 feet Of walnut
are made to go as far again as it did
few years ago.
Chicago uses annually in her different
branches of manufacture, such as
house, school and office furniture also
in finishing material doors. mouldings,
counters, etc, 14.500 900 feet. Probably
about half of this Is bought at the mills
and does not go into the account of the
manufacturers direct. or have mills or

MANY KINDS OF JAGS;
DIFFERENT WAYS IN WHTCH
MEN
Every Drinking Man Has His Pes
cuIiarities-one Man is sad and An
other Foolishiy Gay.

II have been thinking about the Gu
rious ways in which a jag is manifest
ed" said an observant citizens, land
the ways are more numerous than the
different methods resorted to by differ
ent animals of expressing certain emo
tions, Almost every drinking man will
have different way Of showing that he
has fingered too long wher the wine
was red. Some men get white eyed
men get redeyed. The eyes of some
men almost leap from their sockets
when they drunk, and then there is the
squinteyed jag. One man is sad. AM
other is foolishly gay, One man is
quiet and another boisterous One man
becomes quarrelsome, belligerent, and
drifts around with a chip on his shout

a sucking faWn. / know some men
who become gorgeously Chesterfieldian
when under the influence of whisky.
They are painly, embarrassingly polite.
Others take the other turn and become
Extensively inconsiderate. But l have
noticed one thing in particular about
men who are in the habit of drinking
too much, and that Is the curious way
they have of holding their shoulders.
At some time or other during the spree,
almost every man will pull his Shout
ders up as if he were making an effort
to swallow his neck. Men under the in
fuence will walk through the streets
with their shoulders pulled up above
the normal line, very much after the
fashion of the man who is caught out
on cold day without his overcoat. 1
have observed that even in cases where
a man attempts to hold himself up in
order to avoid the suspicion of being
drunk, when he makes a drunken stag
ger at sobriety, as it We're, he will draw
his shoulders up above the normal line
and give unmistakable evidence of a
condition he wants to hide. Men who
throw themselves back on their heels
In an effort to be dignifed, and over
come the tendency of the load to pull
them down, will. in nine cases out of
ten, do the same thing. Now, why is
this? I do not know. 1t is just one of
rhyme or reason, and yet one knows
there must be some good reason for it.
1t may result from the practice of
throwing the elbow up on the bar. Bars
are always high, and when a man
leans over on his elbows while waiting
for his drink his shoulders aren atural-
ly forced above the normal line. FIRE.
quent drinking may bring about a sort
of structural change in this respect, and
so he walks out of one saloon, down the
street a few squares and into another
with his shoulders up, already adjusted
for the next performance, fit, as the
saying goes, and really in the pink of
condition. AT any rate, the habit drink
ing men have have of elevating the
shoulders above tn normal line is a Gu
rious thing. From the New Orleans

1T is astonishing" said an old
timer, Ito find that so many cooks in
this section make the most grievous
mistake in cooking shrimp Now, /
am a regular shrimp fiend, and have
come to the conclusion that know
something about how shrimp ought to
be prepared, at least from the stand
point of the consumer. | was asking
one of the well-posted men in Royal
street the other day how long it took to
boil shrimp. His answer was that as
rule. shrimp are boiled twenty min
utes. There is, however, no fixed
time limit
shrimp are of a blush color natu-
rally. sort of a leaden hue. when
taken from the lake or the river.
When they are served at the table they
are of pretty yellowish color. Good
cooks have told me that they should be
taken out of the water as soon as they
turn yellow, and l am inclined to be-
leVe that this is the proper idea. The
complaint l have to make is that a ma
jority of cooks allow them to boil too
long, and hence ii becomes a tedious
and difficult matter to peel them. This
is particularly true of the smaller river
shrimp. IF they are served hot it is not
so difficult a matter to peel them after
too much boiling. But | prefer cold
shrimp thoroughly ICED, when served,
and my experience is that too much
cooking greatly interferes with the pro-
cess of eating shrimp, and this is why
make the complaint. They break and
cfumble. and it is almost impossible to
peel them, and since ! pride myself on
my EXPERIENCES in this line ! do not
want my shrimp cooked too much. =
