Enlooy on the Bob White.

The following is the eulogy on the
Bob White, by William T. Hornaday,
once director of the New York zoologi-
cal park:
To my friend the epicure: The
next time you regale a good Ape
tite with bluepoints, terrapin stew,
filet of sole and saddle of mutton,
touched up here and there with the
high lights of rare old sherry, rich
claret and dry monopole, pause as the
dead quail Is laid before you on a
funeral pyre of toast and consider
this:
Here lie the charred remains of
the farmers ally and friend, poor
Bob White. In life he devoured AS
different kinds of bad insects and the
seeds Of 1873 noxious weeds. For the
smaller pests of the farm he was the
most marvellous engine of destruction
that God ever put together of flesh
and blood He was good, beautiful
and true; and his small life was
blameless. And here he lies dead,
snatched away from his field of labor
and destroyed in order that I may be
tempted to dine three minutes longer

WOODS OF VARIOUS STRENGTH
Investigation Has Shown That Pres
ence or Absence of TyIose Makes
Great Difference.

The reason why one kind of wood
is more durable than another is owing
to the fact that one contains the sub
stance known as tylose in more gener-
Gus quantities. Tylose is the material
which fills the pores of the wood and
resists the entrance or action of de-
cay. For instance white oak is well
suited and much used for barrel slaves,
where barrels are to contain liquid,
while, on the other hand, red oak,
which is apparently of the same struc-
ture, is not at all suited for the pur-
pose.
A close examination of the white
oak reveals the presence of the tylose
which seals all the little pores of the
wood. Red oak has none of the ty-
lose. For this reason a fence post of
white oak will last much longer in
service than one of red. Timber en-
gineers who inject cTeosote and other
substances into wood to retard decay
long ago made lists of species that
were hard to treat. ana others which
were easy.
The preservative fluids, we are told,
penetrate certain woods to a consider
able depths when moderate pressure Is
applied; while others are almost i'm
pervious, no matter how great the
pressure. Those hardest to penetrate
by preservatiye fluids are those best
supplied with tylose.

TWO DISHES IDEAL DINNER
Frenchmen With the Courage of Their
Convictions Form League to
Promote the Idea.

The Paris gourmets assert that the
influx of Americans and English who
demand five or six courses at a meal
has in recent years been changing the
character of the restaurants that were
famous for one or two special dishes.
In the old days the boulevardier went
to the Cafe Anglais, the Tour d'Argent
or the Maison Doree for the one dish
that was the specially of each cafe.
One excelled in fish, another in roast,
a third in fowl
When Joseph Galtier suggested in

hotel balconies, the common folk from

Normans of Today.
In meeting the Normans of today as
they go about their ancient capital,
one feels anew the marvels of their
history. One fancies in watching the
common people of Rouen that one sees
in these descendants of Dukes Rollo's
sea-wolves a persistence of the traits
that made their ancestors the most
dreaded pirates of their day, the foun-
ders of kingdoms in widely sundered
parts of Europe. The women in par
ticular have a high distinction in face
and figure Girls walk with sim
gularly charming grace, with the air of
possessing the earth that they tread,
and carry their heads proudly, as if
recalling the rough glories of their
race for 1000 years. Beauty of line
and expression is the dover of many
women in Norman Rouen, and both
men and women are quickly responsive
to courtesy from stranger.
The slums OF Rouen show as repel-
lent human manifestations as one can
find in almost any city. and waterside
loafers are sometimes desperate look
ing characters, though, perhaps, this
impression is due partly to their
sauald dress, unshaven faces and I'M
familiar dialect. Some of the women
who inhabit the lofty old ruins on the
edge of sewerlike canal in one of
Rouens worst quarters would furnish
excellent models for the painter of
Norman criminal life. But the human
fotsam and jetsam is seemingly a
small proportion of the population. In
deed, Normandy seems to have pre-
served the ideals and virtue of an older
France. Here, if anywhere, the influ
ence of sainted Joan's career is power
fully felt, and the city where she suf-
fered fiery death does penance by
paying her peculiar honor.
The spot in the public street where
she bravely met martyrdom in her
fresh and lovely girlhood is marked
for all beholders, and her statue greets
one at every turn, while the ancient
churches vie with one another in per
/ petuating her memory.
