ORIGIN OF RESTAURANTS.
French Mobiles, Ruined by Revolution.
Dismissed Their Chefs, Who Then
Opened Eating Houses.

The restaurant of the present time
had its origin in the first French revo-
luton, toward the close of the eight
eenth century. And the reputation of
the French for good cookery and the
delicacy of taste in eating as well as
in producing tOOthsome dishes and
mOrselS dates practically from the
same time.
That revolution meant ruin to many
noble families, and their downfall
meant ruin also for their chefs, so
some of the latter hit upon the idea
of opening houses where dainties pre-
pared by their skilled hands could be
obtained. If the experiment succeed
ed the chefs would be as well off as
when in service. The idea was pleas
Ing to the public, the restaurants did
large business, and the proprietors
had no reason to regret tie revolution
from monetary point of view.
Then it occurred to others that the
people might appreciate being educat-
ed up to this fine cookery, and many
books on the culinary art were pub
lished and sold well. One of the most
noted of these was "The GOurman Al
manack," which appeared in 1893.
Restaurant really means restoring
and was applied to these places be-
cause you went there to have some
thing to revive or restore your failing

iMPALED BY AN ARROW.
Conductor of Freight Wagons Through
Missouri Was Pinned Through The
Neck TO Tree, Yet He Survived.

1t was in the summer of 1859 that
George Wainwright and Ben Spencer,
each in charge of a train of freight
wagons, were headed for the Missouri
river to bring supplies back to COIOra-
90 points The Indians were very
troublesome in those days; and these
TWO outfits always camped together
Tor protection. One night they had ar
ranged the camp, with the wagons
forming a circle, and everybody but
Ihe guards was to be inside. Vain
wright preferred to sleep in a clump
OF c0ttonwOOdS about a quarter of q
hilie OF, and there he fixed himself
win his negro servant as a bOdyguard.
Neither the camp nor Wainwright was
disturbed during the night. but early
the next morning while Wainwright
was sitting on the ground with his
back to tree drinking his tin of cof-
fee an arrow from an unseen foe en-
tered his neck at the right of the
Jugular vein and was driven with such
force as to impale the victim TO the
tree. The negro, believing his master
was killed, ran to Spencer's camp and
gave the alarm.
Spencer and some of his men rushed
over to Wainwright. Instead of being
dead Wainwright was not even seri-
ously injured. Spencer cut the arrow
off close to the point of entrance and
then gently drew Wainwright's head
forward until he was released. The
victim suffered but little inconvenience
from the wound, and by the time the
trip was completed it was entirely
healed.-LOs Angeles Times.

HIRED APPLAUSE.
A Great Actress Who Was Determined
to Make the CIaque Earn
Its Money.

Speaking OF applause In theaters. q
theatrical man relates the following
concerning the great actress Rachel:
ut seems that upon q certain OPEN
ing night Rachel received enthusiastic
applause, but on the second night 1t
was so noticeably slim that the actress
felt deeply grieved and bitterly COM
planned that the claque was not doing
its duty. The leader Of the hired .ap-
plause makers on hearing OF her dis
pleasure wrote her letter In which he
endeavored to excuse himself from any
blame.
'Mademoiselle-I cannot remain IN
der the obloquy Of a reproach from
such lips as yours he began. The
following Is an authentic statement Of
what really took place: at the first
representation led the attack in Der
SOD not less than thtrty-three times.
We had three acclamations, four hilar-
tiles, two thrilling movements, four
renewals Of applause and two indef-
mite explosions In fact to such an
extent did we carry our applause that
the occupants Of the stalls were scan
dalized and cried out la porte!
"'My men were positively exhausted
with fatigue and even intimated to me
that they could not again go. through
such an evening. Seeing such TO be
the case, applied for the manuscript.
and after having profoundly studied
the piece / was obliged to make up my
mind for the second representation to
certain curtailments in the service Of

length to assure the actress he wiz

quests her to believe In his profound

OLD FAMILIES.
Emperor of Japan Traces Family Back
$500 Years and Is One Hundred
and Twenty second of His Line.

In Great Britain and on the CONT
nent those families pride themselves
that count their ancestry through ten
generations, but their claims to really
ancient lineage seem insignificant
when compared with those of certain
houses in the orient.
We read that the oldest family in
Great Britain, the Mar family IN Scot
land. may trace its pedigree to 1893.
Then, too. we have the CampbeIls of
Argyll, whose date is put down at 1I9O.
The Gr0sven0r family, that of the
Duke of Westminster, refers its origin
to the same year that the Conqueror
'came over''-i. e., 1866. The Austrian
house of Hapsburg goes back farther
than that, its date being 952, while
the BourbOnS proudly mention S64 as
the date of their origin.
But none of them is to be mentioned
in the same breath with the emperor
of Japan, whose Office has been filed
by members of his family for period
Of over $500 years, the present ruler
being the one hundred and twenty sec
Ond in the line. The first emperor Of
japan sat on the throne about the time
when Nebuchadnezzar was flourishing
that is, in $50 B. c.
Another oriental branch, the descend
ants Of Mohammed, presents claims not
to be dismissed. The prophet was born
in $40, and a list of his descendants
has been carefully retained, being duly
set forth in a volume kept in Mecca.
Little or no doubt exists of the authen-
tcity of the long list of names Of Mo
hammed's descendants as registered in
this sacred bOOk.-Harper's Weekly,

rhs eoxsrnors Quick Wit.

While talking to a former governor
Of Illinois, who was noted for the
Quickness Of his wit, an English tour
list spoke with special fervor Of sight
he had seen IL another state.
81 attended a Sunday service for
the inmates of the state prison" he
said. "and / learned that Of the 20S
persons now confined there all but
twelve voluntarily attend religious
services held In the prison chapel twice
each Sunday"
Most extraordinary. said the gov
ernor musingly. 81 am sorry to say It
is not so with US. But then" he add
ed soberly, ''in Illinois you see, most
of the respectable people do not come
to prison. n."-LippincOtt's

Fulton and the CIernoon+

The first trip of Robert Fulton up
the Hudson river in the Clermont was
thus described in the American Citi-
zen Of Aug. II, 1910:
''Mr. FultOn's ingenious Steam Boat,
invented with a View to the Naviga
ton of The Mississippi from New Or
leans upwards, Sails today from the
North River, near the State Prison, to
Albany. The Velosity of The Steam
Boat is Calculated at four miles an
hour. 1t is said that it will make a
progress Of two against The Current
Of The Mississippi. and if so it will
certainly be a very valuable acquisi-
ton to the Commerce of the Western
States"
According to Edward Hagaman
Halls history, the Clermont made the
trip to Albany in thirty-twO hours.
The state prison referred to stood on
the block in New York now bounded
by Washington, West Tenth, West and
Charles Streets, in old Greenwich VIII

A Famous Cpai.

The most famous opal in history was
that which was worn in a ring by the
Roman senator NOnius in the day of
the triumvirate. Its size equaled that
Of a medium sized hazelnut, yet its
beauty and brilliancy rendered it a
marvel among the dilettanti of Rome,
especially when it was known that the
goldsmiths and money changers had
set its value at S1,O00,OO0. Mark An
tony made Overtures to Nonius for its
purchase, intending, it is thought, to
present it to Cleopatra, but the senator
refused to part with it and for fear
that it would be taken from him by
sheer force sought safety in flight
Here history loses all trace of this fa-
nous gem, there being no record of its
ransference from NOnius to any OF his
family.

MAKING NEEDLES.
Various Processes Through Which the
Steel Wire Must Pass.

Various Processes Through Which the
Steel Wire Must Pass.
Needles are made from steel wire,
which is first cut by shears from coils
into the length of the needles to be
made. After a bath of such bits as
have been cut out they are placed in a
furnace, then rolled until perfectly
straight. Next the needle pointer
takes up a dozen or so of the wires
and rolls them between his thumb and
finger, with their ends on a turning
grindStOne, first one and then the 9th
er being ground The little steel bob
bins are next fed into a machine which
fattens and cutters the heads, after
which the eyes are punched.
They are now, complete needles, but
rough and easily bent Careful heat
ing and sudden cooling gives them the
necessary temper, and nothing remains
but to give them their final polish. On
a coarse cloth needles are spread to
the number of 10000 or $4,000. Emery
dust is strewed over them, oil is sprin-
kled on and soft soap daubed over the
cloth, which, rolled tightly, is thrown
into a pot with others, where it rolls
about for twelve hours or more.
When taken from this friction bath
the needles require only rinsing in
clean hot water. when they are ready
to be sorted and packed. - Chicago

Brown and Jones were having their

After they had gone on some little dis

There was a time when it was be-
ieved possible to prevent seasickness
by means of specially constructed yes
sells, says the London Chronicle. The
Calais-DOuvTes, a twin ship, was used
on the channel service for many years.
Great things We're expected from this.
but she proved a slow boat, and her
passengers were by no mans immune
from seasickness. Another attempt in
this direction was the Castalia, in
which the saloon was suspended like
hammock with a view to minimizing
the pitching and rolling. This turned
out an utter failure. If the rolling
was less than in ordinary vessels the
pitching was quite as bad and, more
over, the swinging mechanism Occa-
sionally stuck. After a very few trips
across the channel the Castalia was
taken off the service

THE WAY OF THE SWISS.
Foreigners Regarded as Egyptians and
Treated Accordingly

Foreigners Regarded as Egyptians and
Treated Accordingly.
A foreign resident in Switzerland
was fined 10 francs because his little
girl had pIucked three buttercups
growing on piece Of land on which
she and some half dozen Swiss chill
dren had for years been accustomed to
play. The land had recently changed
hands. and its new owner had put
up a notice forbidding the plucking
OF flowers. A passing gend8rme had
found the children flagrante deIicto
and had forthwith instituted proceed
ings against the little foreigner, while
letting the little natives go scot free.
The child's father appealed against the
sentence and by dint of hard fighting,
which entailed, of course, expense,
forced the higher court to reduce the
fine from 10 francs to 81. e., 1 franc
for each butjercup.
When l tried to learn the why's and
wherefores of this case l was told by
a Swiss that One-half of every fine lev
led goes to the gcndarme who reports
the OffenSe for which it is levied, and
also that Swiss gendarmes cannot fair
ly be expected to be quite so alert in
taking proceedings against their own
people as against foreigners.
Further, was told by an American
that in Switzerland all foreigners rank
as Egyptians and that the one Scrip
tUral injunction that is faithfully
Obeyed there is that which Ordains
that Egyptians shall be spoiled.-FrOm
