cRIrlcIsM OF AMEnIcAN COOKE.
Famous German Chef Found But One
Dish Worthy Of Imitation.

Albert Neumann, chef to her i'm
perial highness the Prussian Crown
Princess Cecelie, has returned from
tour In America a disappointed
man.
He was dispatched to this land Of
unlimited possibilities to search high
and low for some culinary delicacies
better than anything made In Ger
many, and all he brought back worthy
of imitation, he reports, is the clam
chowder.
Altogether he found American cook
ing devoid of novelty or especial ex-
cellence. He says the only good Amer
lean cooking is French. Indeed, he
says that the real American cooking
IS simply barbaric-always excepting
the clam chowder, which he hopes to
make a favorite dish at the crown
princess table.
Herr Neumann was rather as
tonished at the failure of the Ameri'
can hotel cooks to achieve distinction,
for he found they had everything to
do 1t with. Our hotels, he says, have
kitchen arrangements which for ex'
tensiveness, cleanliness and complete
ness equal those of the finest royal
palaces in Europe.

4 Home Loving Bird.

Direct evidence of the return Of the
same individual bird Of migrating
species to a particular spot season
after season is not easily obtainable,
but N. C. Beers believes that he has
such evidence concerning chipping
sparrow at Lakewood, N. j., says the
Youths Companion. A few years ago
he heard little bird concealed in the
top of a maple uttering peculiar
song which he could not recognize.
The next season he heard the same
peculiar song in tree but a few
yards from the original point. This
time he identified the bird which
seemed to have learned song Of its
own. The third year he did not visit
Lakewood at the proper season to
meet his little friend, but the fourth
year he heard and saw it again near
the same spot. It appeared always to
make its summer home in the trees
on an area not more than two acres in
extent

Affected by Rreweries.

"A queer objection is sometimes
urged against flats in the neighbor-
hood of breweries," said city rent
ing agent. People complain that the
berry atmosphere whets the appetite
for drink and sends off on toot many
a man who otherwise would not even
think of so misbehaving himself. Usu-
ally it is women who make the COM
plant; men don't seem to care wheth-
er they avoid temptation or not. Many
times / have sent women up to look
at certain of our fats and they have
reported that they liked the place
well enough, with the exception of the
nearby brewery. They were afraid
to trust the men of the family who,
possibly, were afflicted with a tempera-
mental weakness on the liquor ques-
ton"

WON MEMBER FOR HIS CHURCH.
Preachers Skill at Quoits Was Put to
Good Service.

The Rev. ]. H. Roger, pastor Of the
Oxford (Pa) Methodist church, has
been found gambling. The discovery
has not made him any the less popu-
lar with his congregation, as the
stakes he played for were whether or
not his opponent would attend
series of special meetings. The game
played was one of quoits, and the
preacher won.
Mr. Roger is very popular with the
men of the town, and always has num-
Der of them at his Sunday services.
He noticed, however, that many Of the
regular attendants on Sunday were
not present at the evening meetings,
SO he went out to find the reason
why. Squire 8. H. Smith was the first
man he encountered. The squire plead
ed pressure of business, but Mr.. Roy
er would not give up. Finally Mr..
Smith agreed that he would drop his
business and go to the meetings II
the preacher could beat him playing
Quoits.
The minister took up the PROPOSE
ton and within short time a hard
fought game was in progress. Squire
Smith fought valiantly, but was beat
en- by the preacher, and true to his
agreement attended the meetings.
Moreover, he took with him a number
of other lovers of the game, who were
convinced that man who could beat
Squire Smith pitching quoits couldn't
help being first-class preacher.
