Exorics i'm the Kiondike.

One can the better realize what are
luxuries of the table In To valley OF
the Yukon by reading Mrs. Sullivan's
book, "a Woman Who Went to Alas
ka." It was on the way down the
river from Dawson that her party
came upon the first vegetable gar
dens.
The river banks were lined with ca
noes; many natives stood looking at us
from the shore, and while stevedores
handled the wood, many passengers
visited the town. 1t was not long be-
fore they came back with handfuls of
turnips, just pulled from the ground,
which, had these been the most lus-
cious fruit, could not have been eaten
with more relish.
I tried to buy one from young
man, but he had evidently been long
away from such luxuries, for he re-
fused to SELL Afterward his gallantry
got the better Of him, and he politely
offered me one-half Of the turnip,
which I took with thanks.
AS my brother peeled the precious
thing, l asked him how long it was
since he had eaten one. 1.-TWO years. y
he promptly replied.
Knowing that he was especially fond
of such things, ate a small slice, and
gave him the remainder.

He Says Our Restaurants Are 100
Gorgeous and Too Hot.
"I grant you," said an Englishman
who knows New York pretty well, Il
grant you that your restaurants ana
cafes are about as swell as anyone
can find in the world, but you keep
them all too hot, don't you know.
You aim at being bright and snowy
and all that sort of thing, you know,
but there is such a fault as having
too much glare and ornament.
"You understand, my dear fellow,
I'm not saying this in a spirit OF IN
sular prejudice, because l like many
of your ways awfully, indeed l 90;
but it's a fact, nevertheless, that you
haven't yet discovered the art OF DIN
| ing coolly.
Look at this place now. Gorgeous
as a fairy grotto and a Louis Qulnze
saloon combined, but a perfect sweat
bath, don't you know, and you can't
help it-with hundreds and hundreds
of lights-no matter If they are elec-
| trio, every inch of the wall incrusted
| with ornamentatlOn, pictures ana MIR
rors all over, and draperies at every
| aperture and recess. Is it any wonder
that it is stuffy here?"
"And then there are the boilers, or
| the pipes, or whatever the deuced
things are called, that serve to make
| the place as hot as the Internal re-
gions. and make it as much as your
precious life is worth to go from one
| Of these places into the open air.
"Now, don't mind my saying so, dear
ooy, but I think that beautiful and
bright as these cafes and restaurants
are they offer a very good illustration
of your prevailing characteristic-that
of OVERRIDING things. There's too much
ornament, too much glitter and, above
all things, too much warmth. Really,

BOGUS FOOD FROM ABROAD.
One Of the Consu1s of Germany Tells
of Many Adu1terutions.

One OF the Consu1s of Germany Tells
of Many Adulterutions.
In report on the subject Of food
adulteration in Europe Consul General
Cuenther at Frankfort makes the fol-
lowing statements:
can article on the adulteration Of
food products is going the rounds of
the German press. 1t Is stated, for
instance, that an ordinary liver patty
Is made into fine 'Strassburger' pate
de foie gras goose liver patty by
means Of borax or salicyhc acid and
Of finely chopped and cleverely distri-
butett pieces Of black silk represent
Ing truff1es.
Cosmos, German paper, guaran-
tees the fact that under the label OF
canned Holsters the soft parts Of the
cuttlefsh and crabs are sold.
"In Paris snails are Of late very
popular and the authorizations mix
them with lungs of cattle and horses.
Even entirely artificial snails are man
ufactured. The shells, recoated with
fat and slime, are filed with lung
and then sold as Burgundy snails.
Lovers of fresh rooster combs are
Imposed upon by a substitute cut out
Of hogs intestines.
Chopped artificial tuffles are made
Of black rubber, silk or softened
leather and even whole truff1es are
made out of roasted potatoes, which
are given a peculiar favor by adding
ether. They are said to sell well.
"Fish spoiled in spite Of ice and
borax is treated with salts Of zinc,
aluminium and other metals. Rubbing
the fish with vaseline to give it fresh
look and coloring the gills with fresh
blood or eosin-a coal tar color-is re-
sorted to. The latter is also used to
intensity the red color Of inferior
crabs.
"Imparting a greenish color to oys-
tiers is another adulteration. An oyster
requires about one month in the beds
to acquire the greenish color. AS
this is too long a time the dealers help
them along with an artificial color.
1.-The chemists in the Paris munich
pal laboratories have shown that
tomato jelly is adulterated with tur-
nips and powdered pepper contains
large admixture Of powdered hard
ia ck."

THE AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Reasons Why Our Mother Tongue
Should BE Called Eng1ish.

Reasons Why Our Mother Tongue
Should BE Called Eng1ish.
| Somebody has been writing to the
! New York Sun to protest against It's
| being called the English language any
| longer This man seems to think that
| the Americans have more right to II
| than the people who saw 1t nrst.
| Granting for a moment the absurd
premise that the Americans and the
English are two different peoples, 1t
| may not be out of place to mention
one or two reasons why the language
| should continue to be called after the
| English.
The chief one is that the English
| made the language. Chaucer rescued
! it from a weller of French and Saxon,
| and gave it form. Spenser wrote MS
J Faery Queen in it. These pioneers OF
English are still studied and admired
| in American universities. Shakespeare
| made use of it to produce the great
est dramas in the world. AS late as
| the end Of the Nineteenth century
| there was a great theatrical manager
| in New York-perhaps the greatest
| who presented Shakspearean plays IN
English at that, and at great profit,
| to American audiences. This seems TO
indicate that Americans still take an
ANTIQUARIAN interest in the language.
Milton, il we remember rightly, foun0
it good enough to employ in para
disc Lost and a few other metrical
/ o1c mas
terpiece in 1t, the AreOpagitica, the
Freedom Of the Press, on which the
United States has acted, although the
essay was couched in foreign laH-
gauge.
There are people, even in New York,
who contend to this day that Milton
| couldn't have done better if he had
known American. Coming down to the
Eighteenth century, great mob OF
more or less distinguished litterateurs
could find no more suitable vehicle
than English. They did fairly well in
it, although, of course, it has not the
resources of the real Fourth of July
American Goldsmith struggled with
1t long enough to create a few things
that still charm the heart and please
the fancy. Dick Steele and Joseph
Addison showed what the essayist
could do with it when he tried hard.
Lawrence Sterne managed to fit his
Irish humor into 1t, and cracked jokes
without drifting into slang.
Pitt, Fox, Burke, Sheridan delivered
famous orations in it, some of which
pleaded for those very Americans who
are now repudiating the brave old IAN
guage. Dean Swift demonstrated that
| satire made no demands upon it which
| it could not fulfill. At this juncture,
or somewhere near 1t, Samuel Johnson
| gathered all the words together, and
put them into dictionary which is the
| father Of all dictionaries in the British
empire and the United States. Some
| of Johnson's words are still IN use, al
| though many of them are quite un1n-
| telligible to the average American. 1t
| is probably out Of gratitude to Johnson
that the United States doesn't cut loose
| from English altogether. In no other
way can we explain why college pro-
fessors, magazine writers, novellsts
and people of fine tastes in the United
States continue to go to these Eight
centh century writer's for their style
