SONG THAT CAME HIGH.
Nearly a Thousand Dollars Paid to
Hear "Home Sweet Home"

Charles Burnham reached down in
the grab-bag of his memory the other
night and brought up "just another
story Of John Stet8on," says the St.
Louis Republic.
"At the Globe, in Boston, during
Stetson's management" he said, eve
had Clara Louise Kellogg for a night,
and when the count-up was over
found that there was a loss of just
$3.50 on the guarantee that had
been promised to the singer. I went
back to Miss Kellogg's dressing room
and handed her the money, and when
she heard how bad the house was she
said:
"1 see Mr.. StetSon is sitting in his
box, and | wish you would kindly tel
him hat l would like to sing any
song he will suggest, just to make W
In a way for what he has lost on me.

said to Stetson, and he was really
pleased at her thoughtfulness

"And as the last note Of the SON.

JEWS OF AMERICA.
Over One Per Cent. Of Nations Fa-
nous People Of Hebrew Origin.

"Who's Who in America" mod
eled after its British cousin, con-
tains 1861 biographical sketches Of
famous men and women in this coun-
try. Of these 1851, says the Jew
ish Comment, something like 100, or
a little more than one per cent, are
Jews. The Jewish population in
this country is about 100000, or,
roughly speaking, a little more than
one per cent.-that is, the number
of Jewish names included in "Who's
Who in America is about the same
or a little less in proportion to the
Jewish population in this country.
In other words, were we to measure
the importance Of a people by the
proportion Of great men it produces,
We should be compelled to the con-
clusion that the Jews play no great
er part, proportionately, than any
other class Of people in the United
States.
This may OF may not be true, but
we must not forget that of the 1,OOO,.
600 Jews in this country, more thar
100000 have immigrated within tn,
last 20 or 80 years, and the create:
number Of these 200, 900 have com,
here within the last ten years. TIL
Jews have as yet not had time or op
portunity to produce great Ameri
cans in the arts and sciences. Still
the array Of Jewish men of letter;
actors, playwrights, doctors, lawyers
rabbis and scholars is imposing.

IN GERMANY.
Preparations Containing POisOns Suf
fsient to Kill All Berlin.

feient to Kill All Berlin.
A chemist named Nardenkotter,
who is charged with having carried
on extensive operations as a quaek
doctor, has suddenly disappeared, ae-
cording to Berlin correspondence of
the London Chronicle. The inves-
LEGATIONS into the case have been pro
ceedmg for several days, and a war
rant has now been issued for his ar
rest. A doctor named Kronheim has
been arrested as an accomplice.
NardenkOtter had been attending
the proceedings since the beginning
of the trial which is being followed
here with great interest. Last week,
however, he was released on bail to
the amount of $4,000 marks. His
modus operandi was to send out i'm
mense numbers of circulars in which
he promised patients relief from
their sufferings, even in cases held to
be incurable. The pamphlet gave
statistics purporting to show the pro-
portion of cures effected, Of which
many were described Is miraculous.
Intending patients had first of all
to forward a preliminary payment Of
5s,, in response to which they
received a letter stating that Mar
denkotter's packing department was
forwarding the medicine suitable to
the case, and that the cure would take
from two to three months. When
the medicine arrived, however, the
credulous patient found that he had
to pay on delivery a further sum,
varying from As. to 19s., and on
opening the packet he discovered a
detailed bill amounting to several
pounds for medicine, consideration
of the case, chemical and microscopic
investigations, etc,
The evidence also showed that the
defendants rooms were in the great
est disorder, medicines, poisons and
other raw material being mixed to-
gether in utter confusion. While in
the circulars it was alleged that nc
narcotics or drasticremedies calculat-
ed to injure the body's organism
were used, quantities Of such drugs
were found on Nadenkitter's prem
ises, and the president, in the course
Of the proceedings, remarked that
the accused had made up prepare.
tons containing mercury, iodine, ar.
senic and other poisons sufficient tt
kill all the inhabitants Of Berlin
The ingredients Of the remedies ap-
peared to have been mixed togethe,
in a most promiscuous manner, some
in a bath, and others in saucepan
and the like kitchen utensils.
1t was stated in court that harden
hotter had made about 5000 a mont
by the sale Of his mixtures.

A PLEA For ROASTING.
Meat Cooked at Open Fireplace Il
Tender and Digestible.

Tender and Digestible.
It is to be feared that many ex-
cellent modes of cooking which pre-
vailed in the past are now abandoned
simply to save trouble. The modern
cook, or the person who calls herself
such, although She may be positively
instructed to roast meat in the good
Old-fashiOned way, in a screen in
front of the FIRE, commonly ignores
her instructions at every possible OPP
portunity and puts the joint in the
oven. The introduction Of the
Kitchener" or the closed range, and
Of the gas cooker, probably accounts
for the preference which is giver to
baking, while it does away with the
necessity of basting and other little
but important culinary attentions
which roasting involves. There can
be little doubt that by this exchange
Of method not a few persons are
dietetic sufferers.
The preference for meat openly
roasted before the fire is not, declares
the Lancet, a mere sentiment, forthe
favor Of meat so cooked is infinitely
superior and the tissue is generally
more tender than when it is baked.
Now, the flavor and tenderness Of
meat have much to do with its d.
gestibility, and consequently with its
real value as a food. Without relish
and appetite digestion is sluggish and
heavy. Indeed, it has been said that
the process of digestion commences
before ingestion, and certainly the
digestive functions are stimulated to
healthy activity by the sight Of a ten
der and w~ell-eooked morsel as well
as by an excellent flavor or aroma.
1t has been shown that the mere in
spection of good, tempting foods
start the digestive machinery and i'm
mediately excites the flow of gastric
juice. 1t is, therefore, not unrea-
sonable to suppose that there must
be a difference of some dietetic i'm
p%ortance produced in the organism
when, one one hand, a baked, heavy
looking Joint is in contemplation, and
when, on the other, it is a bright.
attractive looking, because an openly
roasted, joint.
AS a matter of fact, there is {
great difference between the two
methods of cooking, baking anC
roasting. In the former case thu
meat in reality is cooked in hot air
which has a tendency to decompos'
the fat into acrid substances. Whel
the door of an Oven in which join
Is cooking is opened the fumes IS
cape, smelling like a tallow candl
which has just been blown out. TIL
smell from a joint being roasted ha
not this character, but, on the con
trary, is agreeable. In roasting tn
Joint is cooked by radiation-that il
by the bombardment, so to speak, o
heat waves. The air between the fir
and the joint might be quite COO.
yet roasting would proceed all tn
same. Roasting also is a less rapi
method Of cooking than is baking
and slow cooking has very decide
advantages in regard to preservin
The nutritive value of the meat. Th
civilized cook might learn a good del
from the methods Of slow cookin
