THE PHILADELPHIA RECORD.

There are three essential elements, ae-
cording to The Philadelphia Record
that make for success i'm modern news
paper: IN, 49,,
First il must print all the news with an
eve to the interests of all types OF read
ers. in attractive and entaining form.
Second, whatever political cause II may
editorially eXpouse, 1t must be fair, iree
of outside dictation, and sincere in adYo-
eating the policies it believes to be best
for the general welfare. Third, it must be
clean. wholesome and elevating in its
influence.
TThe Record itself possesses all these
elements of success, and then some. IN
dependently democratic in politics. IL
is as nearly nonpartisan as newspaper
can be in It's news columns, which fully
and accurately cover the entire field
tributary TO Philadelphia. Aside rom
its news departments, including its daily
market reports, which are the recognlz-
ed authority in produce transactions, IL
is pre-eminent in several ether features
that have contributed immensely TO us
popuIarity as family newspaper. The
last word on household affairs, science,
fashions and farm progress is found ir its
regular departments. Its famous IKE
porters' NOsegay" colum is widely quot
ed throughout the country. III IS the
leader in the field of sports. 1t is prac-
tically the only daily paper in the east
for horse news. And its cartoonist, VINO
hits off the principal events of the day
i'm inimitable style, is second to none IN
the United States.
The Philadelphia Record has anoths
or element of news value that IS OF par
ticular interest to the women OF the iain-
ily. The store news is generally OF sec
ondary importance in their eyes only to
the chronicle of the worlds doings. The
Record, it is worth nothing, prints
more department store advertising than
anv other newspaper in Philadelphia.

Englishmen use their hands compara-
lively little in conversation, but French
men use them a good deal Quantity
enough, Parisians have a very keen
sense Of the exaggerated way in which
the southern Frenchman and the lta!-
ian help on what they have to say

for the following story:
An Italian railway thief was caught
redhanded in the train, handcuffed and
brought to Paris. AS be was walking
out of the Care de Lyon between two
detectives a friend met him.

been this long time. and how are you"
The prisoner looked at him pathet-
icalIy and shook his head.

BEGINNING of the Germ Theory.

Agostino Bassi, a country doctor In
the north Of Italy. early in the last
century was the starter Of the germ
theory Of disease. At that time a Pc
culiar disease was killing the silk
worms, bringing ruin to the whole silk
country of Italy. Bassi, by the micro
scope, discovered the germ which Is
the cause Of the disease. The germ
later was named Botritis bassiana.
Bassi believed and stated that human
diseases were also caused by germs.
Bassi's work was sneered at and pooh
pooled by his fellow men and physi-
clans, and he failed to make lasting
impression, thereby losing great glory
for Italia.-New York Press.

Where the APPLE Came From.

There are two varieties Of apples
found wild in Europe, but the region
adjacent to the Caspian Sea seems 10
had been the origin Of the apple as
known in the East. Charred pieces
OF apples are found in the heaps of
refuse left b. the Lave Dwellers, VINO
occupied portions Of Europe before
any OF the present races. These peo-
pie lived on platforms laid over piles
driven Tito the probably TO
protect themselves from animals, in
an era before metal weapons We're
known. These specimens OF apples
are generally carboniZed by heat, but
they show perfectly the internal struc-
ture OF the fruit.
There are five types OF Native
American apples, ali OF them crabs.
John Smith wrote from Virginia that
he had found some new crabapples
but they were small and bitter New
Fnglanders made the same report
The Soulard has the reputation OF
being Che largest and best of these
natives. Sorts OF this variety, IKE
the Matthews, are improved in size
and quality. Selections might proba-
hly be made from western thickets OF
even better sorts than are now known.
| believe the blood OF the wild crab Is
in some Of our best orchard apples.

Cross Bred Fowls.

A reader asks rs what we think
of crossing pure-bred Leghorns
and Barred Plymouth Rocks, IN
order to get breed of fowls larger
than the former and better layers
than the latter. Our advice is to
stick to pure breed, as just as
soon as we cross the two we take
the first step backward, and from
thence on we will have only
mongrel fowls, which become
worthless with each year.
Many pure breeds of fowls are
large enough for the demands ol
any market, and they will lay al
most as many eggs, all thing:
c Considered, as will the Leghorns
The trouble is that the largei
breeds often sit and hatch out
brood, and sometimes more o
chicks during the summer. while
the Leghorn loses no time tina
way. An incubator or common
hen does the work of hatchinl
for the latter, while the torme
lis expected 10 attend to tha
herself but is given no credit TO
results.

THE FAMOUS SWAN DINNER.
Given by the Father-in.Law Of the NeN
German Ambassador.

The appointment of Count John
Bernstein as German Ambassador to
this country recalls the famous swan
dinner which was given at Delimoni-
cos in the early sos by the late Mr..
Luckemeyer, his father-in-law.
This gentleman was a wealthy i'm
porter and be received from the Unit.
ed States Government the sum OF
$4,000 as a refund of excessive duties
exacted from him on importations.
He dedicated this sum to a CASTRO
nomic monument, and never in the
history of New York restaurants, says
Town and Country, has such gor.
geous entertainment for a limited
number of guests been rivalled.
Seventy-two friends were asked.
There was one table covered with
flowers, excepting a space in the cen
ire, left for a lake and border around
the table for the plates. This lake
was an oval pond thirty feet in length
by nearly the width of the table, en-
closed by a delicate golden wire net
work reaching from table to ceiling,
making the whole one grand cage.
In the lake swan four swans,
brought from Central Park, surround
ed by high banks of flowers, which
prevented them from splashing the
water on the table. Golden cages
with canaries were hung from the
ceiling and the entire room was one
mss of flowers. 1t was a dinner at
which all tie most fashionable women
OF that day were present.
The menu was done in gold and
was long and elaborate, after the fash
ion of that period. The hors doeuyre
was timbale a la Conde, and there
were two soups, a relieve, three en-
trees, a sorbet, truffled chickens and
saddle of mutton for the roasts. two
vegetables, a number of sweets and
ices
