USE AMERICAN IDEAS.
French Crooks Copy the Tricks OF
SwindIers in This
Country

French swindlers, about whose meth
DDS a good deal has been written of
late, are for the most part copiers of
American crooks. says the New York
Sun. The trick Of following a woman
into store, and just as she goes to
make purchasing assuming the role
of an indignant husband, taking her
money away from her and getting
away before she has chance to re-
cover from her surprise, was worked
for some time in the west 1t wasn't
successful long here, because American
women are harder-headed than their
French sisters and, unlike the latter,
do not assist the crooks by promptly
going into Mysteries or fainting when
robbed.
A simple little swindle that was sue
cessful in this city for years was
worked by man and boy The boy
would walk up the street swinging a
pitcher around his head. The man
standing on an opposite corner would
call attention to the boys recklessness
and offer to bet S. or some larger
amount that the boy would break the
pitcher before he reached the corner.
The crook rarely failed to hook VIC
tim. OF course, just as the boy
reached the corner he would break the
pitcher and the crook would win the
bet

THE PoPEs AND TOBACCO.
Heads of the Catholic Church Who
Prescribed the Weed and Those
Who Used 1t.

1t is well known that Pope Leo was
for years an inveterate snuff taker.
The times have changed since Urban
VIII. and Innocent V. vigorously pro-
scribed tobacco, the former pope 60
ing SO far as to threaten to excom-
municate anyone who might take a
pinch of snuff within the precincts of
the vatican. The brief issued by In
nocent X. on the list of February,
1850, against the use of tobacco was
abrogated on the 10th of January,
IT'S, by Benedict XIII. for very good
and sufficient reasons. For, like Leo
XIII, Benedict XIII. took snuff in
large quantities, and he could not
give his sanction to an act which was
violated daily by his own example.
From that time until the present day
the popes have remained silent on the
subject of tobacco, but their personal
habits seem to favor the use of the
fragrant Virginia weed In addition
to the snuff-taking popes, it is well
known that Plus TX. used to smoke
in mis- private study and In the more
secluded parts of the vatican gar
dens.

Do THEIR OWN COOKING.
There Is an Increasing Demand for
Attractive Appliances for
the Kitchen.


Very attractive and handy appli-
ances are now brought out for the
amateur cook. They are of bronze,
copper and silver plate, and each may
be mounted on its own spirit lamp or
electrical fitting, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean
"Epicureanism is on the increase,
and many more people are particular
as to the preparation of their food
than formerly" said household goods
dealer "Fastidious people who buy
the best the markets afford in food
supplies have awakened to the fact
that much of their care in this re-
gard is wasted if the cooking be IN
intelligently done, so we are selling
more and more of these individual
cooking appliances.
MANY settled people, particularly,
amuse themselves by amateur cook
ing. The health culture propaganda
has also been stimulus to the anna
teur cook. Food eaten under proper
conditions will obviate the need of
medicines or curatives and add to
physical exhilaration, good looks, etc.
These theories are getting strongly
impressed on the public mind, and par
ticularly on those folks who are able
to indulge themselves, to experiment
in the matter and make permanent
progress.
''They secure food supplies of the
best grade and then seek for appli-
ances by which they can supervise
the cooking with least inconvenience,
and so get the full profit of the invest
ment. The cooking schools have tend
ed also to make people recognize the
value of delicate cookery applied to a
good grade of food. Slowly but surely
their maxims are being exemplified."

mission men ana packers, ana tDey ouynt
to know something about this subject.
Students of the question fortify the views
of the practical men. They tell us that
the Chesapeake Bay is another Klondike
containing within its waters possibilities
of enormous wealth. The experience of
other States and countries shows that
many times the yield of natural beds be-
fore planting laws are introduced. The
average yield of oysters from Maryland
waters for several years was about 10, ooo,-
900 bushels per annum. The average
yield of wheat in the same time in the
entire State of Maryland was 1880
bushels The wheat was raised by the
toll and sweat of man, the application of
industry and the expenditure of large
capital. The oysters were gathered from
vast field, where never spade was struck
nor furrow drawn. 100000 acres of land
lie unproductive beneath the waters of
the bay and its tributaries. Much of this
land is the best oyster land in the world
Comparatively little of it is of no value
for raising oysters.
| The first answer of the tidewater PEG.
pie to the suggestion that the entire State
be allowed to participate in the benefits
of the Chesapeake Bay, was that these
waters belong to the tidewater counties.
They practically said to the rest of the
State, "You shall not go oystering in our
water" They saw no reason why inhab-
itants of Garrett, or of Hartford, should
derive any advantages from their joint
ownership of the bottoms of the bay.
This idea has long since been exploded
The citizens of the whole State now
understand that lands beneath the waters
of the State are public lands, aud that all
of the citizens of Maryland are tenants in
common of as noble and rich domain
as exists in the world The people who
need good roads, citizens of Baltimore
who lament the decay of vast industry,
the thousands of men who have been
thrown out of employment through the
1
fact that many packing houses have left
Maryland, the people all over the State
who are entitled to have nutritious food
delivered to them at a reasonable price !;
indeed, all citizens of Maryland are inter-
ested to greater or less extent in throw
ing open the States great wet farm to
home industry.
The only people who are now opposing
it are portion of the oystermen them
selves, and an ever diminishing number
of citizens of the tidewater counties. II
is wrong to permit portion of our citi-
zens, who do not know their true inter
ests, TO continue TO ohstruct the progress
and welfare of the State while actually
working out for themselves a course of
industrial extinction. The comparatively
few people in the tidewater countries,
apart from the oystermen, who, from
mistaken sympathy with the views of the
oystermen, are sincerely opposing the
true interests of the State, should inform
themselves as to the soundness of this
oysters and roads proposition. The more
it is examined, the more clearly it ap-
pears to have but one side.
The interest evoked was made
manifest by rising vote of thanks
being rendered the speaker at the
conclusion of his remarks.
