Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 23.-Lum-
bermen found a revolutionary musk
ct embedded in tree cut down near
Shohola, Pike county. A huge pine
tree was cut down, but the butt was
defective and in order to secure a
sound end to the log the diseased
part was cut off. In doing so it was
found that this portion of the tree
was hollow and the aperture had
grown over so that it was not OBJ
servable to the woodchopper In the
hollow was an old fashioned flint
lock musket, such as was in use by
the pioneers of this region.
The spot where the musket was
found is in the neighborhood of the
bloody battle which occurred be-
tween the whites and Indians on
July %. 1879. IN which the former

THE GORDON BlEU.
At First an Order For Women Cooks
Established by Louis XIV.

Al r iFst an ofOcF FoF women tocks
Established by Louis XIV.
When YOU hear a man spoken Of as
a Gordon bleu' you know he Is a
great cook, but few people have any
Idea Of how and when the expression
originated The Gordon bleu was at
first an order for women cooks. 1t
was established by n king which
makes II real, proper order. Louis
XIV. once asserted TO Mime. du Barry
that only men could cS,k really well.
The famous beauty challenged the as
scrtion, but the king insisted that he
right for boiling potatoes and per
forming the simpler operations Of
cook ing but that when 1t came to
work of art 1t took man.
Soon after this argument the royal
favorlte invited the king to dinner,
He praised every dish; he even ex
pressed his august approval Of the
menu as whole. Then his hostess
trumphantly announced to him that
the entire dinner had been prepared
by women. from the arrangement Of
the menu and the selection of the
dishes TO the preparation Of the sauces
and the sweets and the serving of the
several plats. Accordingly she claimed
the foundation of an order of merit for
her female cooks. The claim was at
once granted. aud the Gordon bleu
was first conferred upon the women Of
Nine. du Rarry's kitchen.
Gourmets of today would be inclined
to say that. however great the cooks
of Nine. du Barry may have been in
their day. the dictum OF Louis Nv.
would be true today There are now
few great hotels or restaurants in the
world 10 which cookery is a fine art
where the chef is not man.-New
