ROYAL ePIcuREs.
nenarchs Who were Famous For
 Thefr Culinary Learning.

Infhr AuNnMFN
 Royalty in times past has had many an accomplished epicure as learned fin culinary lore as in the practice of the cuisine. It was Henry de Valos who brought into fashion aromatic sauces and various spice dainties, inheritIng his taste for cooking from Catherine de Medici, who introduced into France not only ices, but much of the culinary art from Italy.
 Louis XIV. was devoted to gastron- omy. and for his use liquors were in- vented in his old age, when, 1t is said, he could scarcely endure existence without a succession of artificial stim- ulants. But the pertinacity with which Charles V. of Spain gratified his appetite under all circumstances rival ed even that of Frederick the Great. Before rising in the morning potted capons were usually served to him. prepared with sugar, milk and spices, Iced beer being one of his favorite drinks. Fish too. of every kind was to his taste, eels, frogs and oysters occu- pying a prominent place in the royal bill of fare. Frederick the Great was fond of highly seasoned meats and had a strong predilection for Italian or French made dishes. It was his habit during dinner to make pencil marks against the different items of the bill of fare, to which he referred when conversing afterward with the maitre d'hotel
 When the Due d'Escars and his royal master, Louis XVIII, were closeted to- gether to talk over dish the ministers were kept waiting in the antechamber, and the next day this notice regularly appeared in the official journals: "M. le Due d'Escars a travaille dans le cab met" It may be added that Louis XVIII. had invented the "truf1es la puree d'ortolans," and, reluctant to disclose the secret, he invariably pre- pared the dish with his own hands, assisted by the duke. Another epicu- rean of the first order was the Polish King Stanislaus Leszinski, who invent ed many a new dish and vastly i'm proved the style of cooking, astonish- ing the Lorrainers, among other things, by having served up at his table dishes of meat with fruits, both of which had been cooked together. Geese which had been plucked when alive, then whipped to death, and marinees were set down in his bill of fare as foreign birds, and after a somewhat similar fashion turkeys were transformed into "coqs de bruyeres" and were served at the table buried under the strong smelling herbs of Lorraine. One year was remarkable for the entire failure of the fruit crop, but Stanislaus would not be deprived of his dessert for, turning his attention to confectionery, he substituted compositions of sugared vegetables, especially of turnips.-Lon- don Standard

STATESMEN AND MARRIAGE.
Married Men Who Have Been Success

Married Men Who Have Been Success
 ful in English Politics.
 There has been no more interesting news for weeks than the announcement of the engagement of J. Austen Cham berlain, M. F., to the daughter of Colo mel Dundas, retired staff officer. The idea that "NIr. Austen" has at last ca- pitulated to Cupid after reaching his thirty-fourth year is fascinating to men and overwhelming to women. He is the most popular and most reticent of all the younger men in public life. In the first place, he is exactly like his emi- nent father. He has the same clear cut, finely ehiselled face, the keen eye, the firm, small mouth, the inexitalble monocle and the ever present orchid in his coat lapel.
 He is the. exception to the rule that a great man cannot have great son, for MT. Austen is exceedingly great in many respects. He has been the best Chancellor of the Exchequer that this country has known for many genera tions. He was an ideal postmaster general, and while he falls short of his fathers exceptional ability as a fight ing man in debate, he is still so far in front of his. contemporaries that he may be called first-class. Aside from this, he is modest, sedate, studious, indus trious and considerate and his father simply adores him, It is almost pa thetic to watch the elder statesmen when the younger is on his feet lin the House of Commons.
 The old warrior, scared by many fights with the great men of the victo- rian Pariaments, sits up straight, nev- CT allowing his eyes to leave the adored object T congratulate my right hon. orable friend the member for Edgbar- ton" says MT. Chamberlain, in refer ring to his son (names are never men toned in the House except by the Speaker when he wishes to know that he is in disgrace), and 'Mr. Austen" refers to his parent as My right hon. orable friend the member for West Bir- mingham.'
 There arc people here who believe that mans usefulness as a politician l Is impaired by marriage, and that the member for Edgbaston will not be so great a man after the ceremony at the church, but am inclined to scoff at the idea. There are and have been so many great men in politics whose married life bellies it. MT. Gladstone's wife was re- sponsible for much of his power, for sha looked after him, arranged his engage ments and generally sponsored him. Lord Beaconsfield, the success of suc- cesses, was married; so were Palmers- ton and Salisbury.
 On the other hand, the doubters point to the experience of Lord Melbourne, to Charles James Fox, to MT. Parnell, to MT. Balfour, as proof of their conten- ton. Parliamentary life, ike Journal ism, certainly takes a man ffom his home circle more than is usual with men who live less exciting and exact ing life. Men who never reach home until the midnight hour has long since gone, and the gray dawn is turning out the street lights, cannot expect to lead carpet slipper life, unless, mayhap, they intend to neglect their duties.- Town and Country.

THE WONDERS OF ADVERTISING.
 ING,

Among the many marvels of this marvellous age there is none more strik- ing and more characteristic than the art of advertising developed in modern times. We talk much about the won ders of the telephone, and the phono- graph, about the astonishing expansion of railroads and telegraphy, but here we have an industry as remarkable for it's extension and as wide and varied in it's applications as anything of mans device in any era of the worlds history. When there is brought into considera- ton the vast amount of money expend- ed in advertising in our day, the. novel and ingenious methods employed and the expert skill and artistic talent en- gagged In the business, one may begin to realize what wide field has been opened here for some of the highest and most useful forms aof human en- deavor. With all it's aIbuses-and they are not few-it remains true Inat ad- vertising is one of the greatest popu- lar educators, and one of the chief pro- moters of human happiness and pros perlty, And there are yet many ways in which it may be extended to the still greater benefit of the world No good reason exists why the churches, the Sunday schools, the missionary socie- ties and other agencies of good should not advertise far more than they do, and thus add to their membership and. their power in the community. To set their advantages, aims and benefits be- fore the public in 8 proper way and form would involve no loss of dignity or prestige, while it would almost cer- tainly widen their influence. The time must come, too, when the absurd code which prohibits physicians and other professional classes from advertising themselves must be abolished. There is nothing but sentiment to prevent 1t, and a very weak sentiment at that. It should, be no more mira dig for a phy- sician or lawyer to seek patients or clients through the medium of print than 1t is for teachers, insurance men, real estate dealers or the members of any other honorable trade or calling Leslie's Weekly.
