There was ''mothers meeting" at
Mrs Stumpff's on Wednesday last,
which was attended by the matrons of
this vicinity. It. was social gather
ing we'll received. AS the meeting
was held at motherless woman,s,
doubtless she listened attentively to
the numerous ladies of matron
demeanor, and womanly capability.
Without TESTING the gathering was
one of social friendship that might be
inflated in the purest of social fields.
The dinner of the occasion was an
affair of gastronomic loneliness
worthy of the palate of anyone, and
while it quieted the inner being, it
left too, a lasting Impression linking
the matrons into universal chain. of
friendship and lasting remem beranee
of social love. - .;

Greek Palate riclrier..

As deiicacies the Greeks ate young
foxes caught in the autumn, robins and
sparrows and certain kinds Of fish
SHARED by moonlight There Is a scrap
Of an old Greek comedy In which a
cook boasts Of frying a fish so exqui-
sitely that 1t threw him grateful looks
from the pan. A famous Greek dish
was the Trojan pig. half Of 1t boiled
and the other half roasted. II was
stuffed with eggs, ortolans and
thrushes. The Romans ate. snatis-
giant monsters = fattened until their
SHELLS held an incredible amount Of
snail. The kettle In a high class 30
man kitchen was often shaped like m
elephants head. The water was pour
ed through the trunk. The gridiron
might be a huge silver spider or a
skeleton fish. 40 .

noNEY GOING OUT OF COUNTY.

at the last meeting of the. super
visors, the sum of S543 q was allowed
A. Carlisle & Co., printers and
stationers of San francisco. This
was principally for supplies Of print
ing and stationery for the election.
1t was more than all the local papers
received for county printing and ad-
veztising during the campaign. And
this money was paid out without.any
protest, notwithstanding that there
is no rate fixed by the board for.
such supplies, as required by law.
Such a large sum would represent
the earnings of printer for more
than halt a year. And the work goes
out OF the county to build up outside
communities rather than Amador
county. This Is state Of affairs
that would not be tolerated in any
other county in the state, and it
ought not to be tolerated here. The
board Of supervisors should carefully
adhere to the law, and FIX the rate of
printing and advertising annually.
Certainly IL printing Is done by out
side firms, which might just as we'll,
and with saving to the taxpayers,
be done in local offices, and the
claims are not legal in the strictest
sense of the word, they should be- re-
jected In the interest of home in
dustry. To refuse payment of one or
two of these foreign claims would
speedily wind up that sort Of bust
ness. The grand jury might spend a
little time very sadvantageously in
looking into this matter. These
members would be doing real
service to the taxpayers in probing
this preference for outside shops to
the bedrock. But will they do so.

BLENDING SPIRITS.
Curious Results Obtained by Mixing
Whisky and Water.

Curious Results Obtained by Mixing
Whisky and Water.
Some curious results are shown by
blending of spirits. Take nineteen and
one-quarter gallons Of high proof spirits
and add twenty-five and one-fourth
gallons Of water, and, strange to say.
you have forty gallons, and not forty
one and one-half, as one would natu-
rally suppose This is reasonably ex-
planned by the large globules Of the
spirit absorbing the small globules Of
water, thereby lessening the volume Of
wine gallons.
Here Is another phenomenon: Take
equal parts Of whisky and water, each
at a temperature Of. 70 degrees r. Mix
them and the temperature rises at once
to 80 degrees.
If two barrels Of whisky are placed
under a roof, one with the bung In and
the other with It out, the former will
gain IN proof, while the latter viii lose.
This Is due to the fact that when the
bung Is in there is no evaporation, but
the barrel absorbs the water much fast
er than 1t does the whisky. When the
bung is out there Is evaporation. and
the spirit evaporates easier than the
water.
These are few Of the facts that an
cid rectifer who can neither read nor
write has gathered in fifty years Of ex-
perience as cellar man. He keeps
trace Of his liquors by their marks,
and, strange to say, he can read bis
gauges and thermometers with accu-
racy and Is curious and exact In his
knowledge Of chemistry as applying to
his trade.-New York Press.

DIVIDED sEcr1oxA11Y.

Not since the Civil war has there
been a situation in the United States
senate which will parallel that which
will exist after March next. Every
northern state will be represented by
republicans. The south will be re-
presented by democrats, excepting
Missouri, whose representation con-
sists of one republican and one demo-
crat. The political complexion Of
the senate will stand sixty-one re-
publicans and twenty mine democrats.
After Oklahoma has adopted con-
stitution and its legislature has been
empowered to elect senators, the
democratic total will be increased to
thlrty-one. Three northern states,
Colorado, Montana and Idaho, are at
present represented by democratic
senators, but IN the recent election
all these resumed their place in the
republican column and the successors
Of Patterson Clark and Du bois Will
be republicans. -Atchieson Globe.

THE BCUEBEKRb STORY.
IL Has n Mythical Rather Than q
NEUROLOGICAL Origin.

NEUROLOGICAL Origin.
The fascinating story Of Biuebeard
has mythical rather than a mytho
logical origin. No one has found his
prototype In the Vedas or In the old
Greek or Roman authors. The story
ID supposed to be Of French origin,
and It has even been suggested that
Bluebeard was no other than the much
married Henry VIII. There is, how.
ever. better reason for believing that
the original was Giles de Laval, lord
OF Ria8, who was marshal Of France
early in the fifteenth century. He was
Q brave soldier whose exploits IN the
wars between England and France are
recorded in history. According to
Nl1eray, he murdered his wives AZ
soon as he tired Of them. and was him.
self eventually strangied in LAO.
The story Of Laval has, however, not
many points OF resemblance, for there
= no mention Of key, and Giles de
Laval, moreover, used to entice per
sons Of both sexes to his castle for the
sake Of their blood, which he wanted
for certain incantations he INDUCED In.
Nor, indeed, does the story fit In with
our own Henry VIII, and we are left
to believe that, whatever the origin,
the key and Sister Ann were added for
the sake Of effect. A variant Of the
story Of Giles de Laval is told by Hol-
inshed, in whose version the name is
Giles de Retz, Marquis de Laval, who
lived in Brittany, and was strangled
and burned for the murder Of his seven
wives. DIR. G. Taylor, it may be added,
regarded the story simply as fiction, a
satire on or type of the castle lords of
the days of knight errantry.-London

The San Francisco grand jury is
bot on the trail of the municipal
grafters in that city. According to
newspaper account, graft has been
uncovered, involving about every de-
partment of the government. Indict-
ments have been found against Mayor
Schmidt, Abe Ruef, and others, based
on disclosures made by alleged 60
betveens of the administration. While
the probability Is that there has been
much graft going on, and the earnest
hope Is that the crusade against
corruption will eventuate in landing
the grafters behind prison bars; still,
We do not believe in condemning IN
public estimation on a one-sided
statement. The grand jury investiga-
ton Is ex parte. But the papers take
1t that the charges are proven, and
the accused convicted. Every man
accused of crime is entitled to a fair
and impartial trial. 1t is next to
impossible to get square deal where
the papers are continually trying to
prejudice the public mind. Such a
course is not only improper, but
against law. By the way, the evil
dence presented to grand jury is
supposed to be secret. No member of
that body is allowed to reveal any of
the proceedings, during the sessions
thereof. And yet day after day, the
city papers publish column after
column of matter purporting to give
the grand jury proceedings. How is
it? The evidence leaks out in some
manner, or the papers are doing lot
of guessing.
