HORSE-MEAT FEAST PLANNED.
Only Aged, Rheumatic Animals Are
to Be Cooked for Dinner
at Berlin.

Distinguished members of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals of Berlin have been invited to
horse-meat dinner by the Fleischer
Zeitung, national organ of the Ger
man butchers, which says it desires to
measure the sincerity of the society in
issuing its recent appeal to the public
to eat more horse meat, so as to be
merciful to animals unfit for work,
which will be relieved of their suffer-
ings if the consumption of horse meat
is made more popular. The Fleischer
Zeitung has not yet received any ac-
ceptances to the invitation. The pa
per promises to put up as good horse
meat feast as an accomplished cook can
produce, but the only material must be
an aged, rheumatic beast, such as the
society desires to emancipate. No
Young colts will do.

TRICKS OF DoMEsT1cs.
Signals Given by Those Discharged
to Warn Those Who Succeed
to TIL lem.

It is not an uncommon thing to
hear people in the east say that they
are still in want of a Chinese cook.
while others will have numbers Of
applications directly it is known that
their cook has left. The reason for
4nis is easily discovered if the mas
ter of the house walks down to the
kitchen after his cook has been dis
charged and takes notice how 4
saucepan which will be found stand
ing on the ground is placed. Chinese
servants, particularly those from Sin
gapore, when discharged leave signs,
which the newcomer looks for imme-
diately he enters the kitchen.
If the place is considered good
one saucepan will be left on the
ground with the lid put on properly.
If the lid is placed in the saucepan
upside downfall is to say, with the
handle of the lid inside the saucepan
it means that the servant has gone
away for short time only and that
as soon as he can he intends to re-
turn, as the situation is considered
a good one. If the lid of the sauce
pan is left out on the ground near
the saucepan, which is standing the
right way up, it means the house is
in want of servants. If the lid is put
halfway in and halfway out of the
saucepan it means that the place is
a good one, but that the master of
the house is stingy.
Should the saucepan have still some
rice in it and the lid closed properly
it means that the servant is quite
satisfied with everything concerning
the people Of the house, but that he
is forced to leave on account of debts
or other reasons which inconven-
fenced him. If the master is in the:
habit of cutting a servants pay for
broken or lost articles or for other
faults mark is made on the bottom
of the saucepan in chalk, which will
not rub out easily. The Chinese boy
makes his mark behind the pantry or
bedroom door and the waterman or
the bottom Of his tubs. The Iylam
Chinese are said to have adopted
these signs from the Macao Chinese,

"A Man Named
Smith"

/EBULON SMITH dealt in real es-
L tate at Arkville when there was
anything doing. When real estate
was dull he sold coal and wood, rent
ed houses and placed insurance. His
career for rs years had been an un-
broken one, when two important
events occurred. His good wife died and
was buried in the new edition to the
cemetery he had sold to the town
himself, and the funeral was hardly
over when he received news that u
distant relative had died and left him
legacy of $4,000 in cash. A few
weeks later, when the money came,
Zebulon Smith astonished Arkville
and the surrounding country by de-
claring that he was going abroad. He
not only declared his intentions, but
he packed his trunk and left 5000
people holding their breath in amaze
ment.
Mr.. Smith spent three or four days
In New York before sailing. He has

hardly registered at hotel when he
observed stranger looking him over
with apparent interest, and later on
this stranger found opportunity to
Introduce himself as Mr.. Carter, a
resident of Plum Creek, Wis. Mr..
Carter stuck to Mr.. Smith like a burr
for the next 36 hours and proved
himself good companion. He was
talkative, jolly and open-handed, and
Mr.. Smith was regretting that they
must part, when Mr.. Carter an
nounced that he was going to take a
run over to Europe on the same
steamer. Some men become old
friends in a day, as it were. It was
SO in this case. Mr.. Carriers business,
when at home, was shingles, laths
and clothespins, with wooden tooth
picks as side issue. What partic-
ular incident was responsible for his
trip abroad he did not state. In
deed, it was evidently a weighty Sc
cret, and one he felt he must guard
with is life. t
In their confidential talks Mr..
Smith would tell of his early strug-
gle to get ahead-the lodges prac-
ticed in the real estate business-the
family quarrels that had interrupted
his domestic happiness-his hopes of
finding a second Mrs. Smith, on his
return. He kept nothing back. In
return, Mr.. Carter would tell of go
ing to school barefooted in the win
ter-of falling in love at an early age
of earning his first dollar. and final
" being able to sell the public laths
and shingles by the car load. He had
also enjoyed a few family quarrels,
and had found the world cold and
heartless; but his story always
stopped right there, and Smith was
unable to tell whether Mrs. Carter
was still living or had been laid to
rest. That was tho only mystery
about an otherwise open and pleas
ant friendship.
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Carter saw Lon.
don and Paris together. and they trav.
eled through italy and finally brought
up in the shadows of the Matterhorn,
in Switzerland, for stay of two
weeks. Mr.. Smith didn't care for
mountains, being in the real estate
business and knowing how hard it was
TO unload them on the public, but Mr..
Carter was more solicitous of his well
fare-more anxious as to accident.
His demeanor somehow reminded
Smith of the deathwatch set over q

A MONSTER PENDULUM.
Erected in the Paris Observatory to
Demonstrate the Movement
of the Earth.

The famous demonstration of the
earth's movement on its axis made by
the celebrated Partisan Leon Foucault
so years ago, was repeated for the first
time in Paris the other day, reports
the New York World.
This remarkable experiment with
what has become known everywhere
as Foucault's pendulum, was repeated
with such success that weekly public
demonstration is to be given hereafter
To try this experiment Foucault
rugged up giant pendulum in the
Sale Meridienne of the Paris observa-
tory. 1t consisted of 224 feet of fine
steel wire suspending a large copper
ball weighing 66 pounds. From the
lower surface of the ball point pro-
truded, and this struck at the extremi-
ties of it's swing two little mounds of
fine sand.
In order that there should be no side
ways movement of the pendulum in it:
swing it was drawn to one side anG
fastened to stationary object by
fine thread. After many hours of per.
feet rest it was released by burning
the string.
Each complete oscillation took
about 16 seconds. On the first swing
the two mounds of sand were cut by
the protruding point. Shortly there
after the sides of this groove began to
be cut down by the point indica ting
devia ton from east to west. The de.
Walton at the latitude of Paris was
about II per cent. per hour, exactly
what mathematics. had told Foucaul1
it would be at that point.
1t was easily proved that there was
no alteration in the plane of oscilla.
ton of the pendulum, and the move
ment of the earth was thus certainly
demonstrated.
Had this experiment been tried at
the north or south pole the plane Of
oscillation would have appeared to
make one complete revolution in "a
hours. and if it had been tried at the
equator no variation would have taken
plsce.
In intermediate ATTITUDES, like New
York and Paris, the plane would vary.

THE LESSON OF THE LEAF.

The frost-tinged, golden leaves again
Come sailing to the sod,
And Autumn walks the dapp!ed plain
With rustling sandals shod.
When one surveys single leaf.
So tinted. vedned and fair.
The marvel is that life so BRIEF
Should have such marks of care.
And wonder more. great Nature seems
To be in very haste,
When most her work with glory gleams'
To yield it up to waste.
For robbers from the frosty stars
Steal down to loose its hold.
And swift winds from their Northern DArs
Break through and steal the gold.
But vet in spite Of wind and frost
And slight of Autumn's sun.
The leaf its mission hath not lost,
Nor left its work undone.
It duly spread its grateful shade; 4
Its breath made pure the air:
Its building in the branch is laid.
In strength and fiber fair.
Though gone, 1t lives in Fancy's eyes.
It's grace is in my heart;
Here. too, its treasured lesson lies
And will not soon depart.
when my clasp on life shall YIELD,
Twill make the parting sweet
To know that / have held shield,
Where suns and tempests beat:
To know that have builded too,
Though small should seem the gam
Something of goodness where grew,
That may long years remain:
To know, when I cannot endure
That still earth's atmosphere
Ia made more vital. sweet and pure.
FOR my brief staying here:

On life's unsteady spray.
