Continued.
Meanwhile Renshaw was making his
way back to the Pontisac with that light
hearted optimiiim that had characterized
his parting with Sleight. It was this
quality of his nature, fostered perhaps by
the carp civilization in which he moved,
that had originally drawn him into rela-
tions with the man he had just quittcd ;
a quality that had been troubled and
darkened by those relations, yet, when
they were broken, at once returned. It
consequently did not occur to him that he
had only seltlshly compromised with the
difficulty; it seemed to him enough that
he had withdrawn from a compact he
thought dishonorable; he was not called
upon to betray his partner in that com.
pact merely to benefit others. He had
been willing to incur suspicion and 1035
to reinstate himself in his self respect,
more he could not do without justify-
ing that suspicion. The view taken
by Sleight was, after all, that which most
business men would take—which even the
unbusinesslike Nott would take—which
the girl herself might be tempted to listen
to. Clearly he could do nothing but aban-
don the Pontiac and her owner to the
fate he could not in honor avert. And
even that fate was; problematical. It did
not follow that the treasure was still con-
cealed in the Pontiac, ,nor that Nott would
be willing to sell her. He would make
some excuse to Nott—ho smiled to think
he would probably be classed in the long
line of nbscouding tenants—ho would say
goodby to Rosey. and leave for Sacra-
mento that night. He ascended the stairs
to the gangway with a freer breast than
when he first entered the ship.
Mr. Nott was evidently absent, and after
a quick glance at the half open cabin
door, Renshaw turned towards the galley.
But Miss Rosey was not in her accus«
tomed haunt, and with a feeling of disap-
pointment, which seemed inconsistent
with so slight a cause, he crossed the deck
impatiently, and entered his room. He
was about to claw the door when the pro~
longed rustle of a trailing skirt in the
passage attracted his attention. The
sound was so unlike that made by any
gunnent worn by Rosey that he remained
motionless, with his hand on the door.
The sound approached nearer, and the
next moment a white veiled figure with a.
trailing skirt slowly swept past the room.
Renshnw’s pulses halted for an instant in
half superstitious awe. As the appari-
tion glided on and vanished in the cabin
door he could only see that it was the
form of a beautiful and graceful woman
——but nothing more. Bewildered and
curious, he forgot himself so far as to
follow it, and impulsively entered the
cabin. The figure turned, uttered a little
cry, threw the veil aside, and showed the
half troubled, half blushing face of
Rosey. ‘
“I—beg—your portion,” stammered
Renshaw; “I didn’t know it- wns you.”
“I was trying on some things,” said
Rosey, recovering her composure and
pointing to an open trunk that seemed to
contain a. theatrical wardrobe—“some
linings father gave me long ago. I wanted
to see if there was anything I could use.
I thought I was all alone ’in the ship, but
fancying I heard a noise forward I came
out to see what it was. I suppose it. must
have been you.”
She raised her clear eyes to his, with a
slight touch of womanly reserve that was
so incompatible with any vulgar vanity or
girlish coquetry that he became the more
clnbarrassed. Her dress, too, of a
slightly antique shape, rich but simple,
seemed to reveal and accent a certain re
pose of gentlewomanliness, that he was
. now wishing to believe he had always
not-iced. Conscious of o. superiority in
her that now seemed to change their re-
lations completely, he alone remained si-
lent, awkward and embarrassed before
the girl who had taken care of his room,
and who cooked in the galley! What he
had thoughtlessly considered a merely
vulgar business intrigue against her stupid
father, now to his extravagant fancy as-
sumed the proportions of a sacrilege to
herself.
“You’ve had your revenge, Miss Nott,
for the fright I once gave you,” he said a
little uneasily, “for you quite startled me
just now as you passed. I began to think
the Pontiac was haunted. I thought you
were a ghost. I don’t know why such a
ghost should frighten anybody,” he went
on with a desperate attempt to recover
his position by gallantry. “Let me see-
that‘s Donna Elvira’s dress-is it not?"

“That’s; Donna. Elvira’s dress—is it not?”
“I don’t think that was the poor
woman’s name,” said Rosey simply; “she
died of yellow fever at New Orleans us
Signora somebody.” '
Her ignorance seemed to Mr. chshaw
so plainly to partake more of the nun
than the provincial that he hesitated to
explain to her that. he meant the heroine
of an opera. '
“It seems dreadful to put on the poor
thing’s clothes, doesn’t it?” she added.
Mr. Renshaw’s eyes showed so plainly
that he thought otherwise that she drew
a little austercly towards the door of her
stateroom.
“I must change these things before any
one comes," she said dryly.
“That means I must go, Isupposc. But
couldn’t you let me wait here or in the
gangway until then, Miss Nott? I am go-
ing away tonight, and I mnyn’t see you
again.” He had not intended to say this,
but it slipped from his embarrassed
tongue. She stopped with her hand on
the door.
“You are going away?”
“I——think—-I must leave to night. I
have some important business in Sacra-
mento.” ~
She raised her frank eyes to his. The
unmistakable look of disappointment that;
he saw in them gave his heartnsuddcn
throb and sent the quick blood to his
cheeks.
“It’s too bad,” she said, abstractcdly.
“Nolxxly ever seems to stay here long.
Capt. Dower promised to tell me all about
the ship and he went away the second
week. The photographer left before he
finished the picture of the Pontiac; Mon-
sieur dc Ferricres has just gone, and now
you are going."
“Perhaps, unlike them, I have finished
my season of usefulness here,” he replied,
with :r bitterness he would have recalled
the next moment. But Rosey, with a
faint sigh, saying, “I won‘t be long,” on-
tercd the static room and closed the door
behind her.
Itcnsliaw bit his lip and pulled at the
long silken threads of his mustache until
Why had he not gone at
once? Why was it necessary to say he
might not see her again—and if he had
said it, why-should he add anything more?
What was he waiting for now?
(lcuvor. to prove to her that he really bore
no resemblance to-Cnpt. Bower, the pho—
tographer, the crazy Frenchman do For-
rlercs? Or would he be forced to tell her
that he was running away from noon-
Spirncy to defraud 'her father—merely for
To 011— .
sfincthing to say? \Vas there ever sucn
folly? Rosey was “not long,” as she had
said, but he was beginning to pace, the
narrow cabin impatiently wlioii the door
opened and she returned.
She had resumed her ordinary calico
gown, but. such was the impression left
upon Renshaw’s fancy that she seemed
to wear it. with a new grace. At. any
other time he might have recognized tho
change as due to a new corset, which
strict veracitycompcls me to record ‘Roscy
had adopted for the first time that morn-
ing. Howbcit, her slight coquetry seemed
to have passed, for she. closed the open
trunk with a return of her old listless air,
and sitting on it rested her elbows on her
knees-and her oval chin in her hands.
“I wish you would do me a favor,” she
said, after it reflective pause.
“Let me know what it is and it shall ho
done,” replied Renshaw, quickly.
“If you should come across Monsieur dc
Ferrieres, or hear of him, I wish you
would let me know. He was very poorly
when he left here, and I should like to
know if he was better. He didn’t say
where he was going. At least, he didn’t
tell father; but I fancy he and father
don't agree.”
“I shall be very glad of having even
that opportunity of making you remem-
brr me, Miss Nott," returned Itcushavc.
with n faint smile; “I don’t suppose either
that it would be very difficult to get news
of your friend—everybody seems to know
him.” ‘ '
“But not as I did,” said Rosey, with an
abstracted little sigh.
Mr. Reushaw opened his brown eyes
upon her. Was be mistaken? Was this
romantic girl only a little coquctte, play-
ing her provincial airs on him? “You say
he and your father didn’t agree? That
. neans, I suppose, that you and he agreed
--und that was the result."
“I don’t think father knew anything
' about it,” said Roscy, simply.
Mr. Renshnw rose. And this was what.
he had been waiting to hear! “Perhaps,”
he said, grimly, “you would also like
news of the photographer and Capt.
Bower. or did your father agree with
them better?”
“No.” said Rosey quietly. She re-
mained silent for a moment, and lifting
hcr lashes said. “Father always seemed
to agree with you. and ihat”—-—she liesi- '
tated.
“That's why you don’t.” ~
“I didn’t say that,” said Rosey with an
incongruous increase of coldness anti
color. “I only meant to say it. was that
which makes it seem so hard you should
go now.”
Notwithstanding his previous deter-mi-
nution Reusliaw found himself sitting
down again. Confused and pleased, wish-
ing he had said more—or less—he said
nothing, and Rosey was forced to con-
tinue.
“It’s strange, isn’t it—-but father was
urging me this morning to make a. visit
to some friends at the old Ranch. I didn’t
want to go. I like it much better here."
“But- you cannot bury yourself here
forever, Miss Nott,” said Rensliaw with a
sudden burst- of honest enthusiasm.
“Sooner or later you will be forced to go
where you will be properly appreciated,
where you will be admired and courted,
where your slightest wish will be law.
Believe me, without flattery, you don’t
know your own power.”
“It doesn’t seem strong enough'to keep
even the little I like here,” said Rosey
with a slight glistening of the eyes.
“But,” she added hastily, “you don’t
know how much the dear old ship is to
me. It’s the only home I thinkIcver
hut .”
“But the Ranch?” said Renshaw.
“The Ranch seemed to be only the old
wagon halted in the road. It was a very
little improvement on out doors,” said
nosey, with olittle shiver. “But this is so
cozy and sung and yet so strange and
foreign. Do you know. I think I began to
understand why I like it so since you .
taught me so much about ships and
voyages. Before that I only learned from
books. Books deceive you, I think, more
than people do. Don’t you think so?”
She evidently did not notice the quick
flush that covered his cheeks and ap-
parently dazzled his troubled eyelids, for
she went. on confidentially.
“I was thinking of you yesterday. I
was sitting by the galley door, looking
forward. 'ou remember the first dayI
.‘1‘.“' you when you startled me by coming
up out of the hatch?”
“I wish you wouldn‘t think of that,”
said Renshaw, with more earnestness
than he would have made apparent.
"I don't want to either,” said Rosey,
gravely, “for I’ve had a strange fancy
about it. I saw once when I was younger,
a picture in a print shop in Montgomery
street that haunted me. I think it was
called ‘Tho Pirate.’ There was a number
of wicked looking sailors lying around the
deck, and coming out; of a hatch was one
figure with his hands on the deck and n
cutlass in his mouth.”
“Thank you,” said Renshaw.
“You don’t understand. He was hor-
rid looking, not; at all like you. I never
thought of him when I first saw you; but
the other day I thought how dreadful it
would have been it some one like him and
not like you had come up then. That
made me as vous sometimes of being
alone. I thin father is too. He often
goes about stealthily at night, as if he was
watching for something. ”
Rensliaw’s face grew suddenly dark.
Could it be possible that Sleight had
always suspected him, and set spies to
watch—or was be guilty of some double
intrigue? ,
“He thinks,” continued Rosey with a
faint smile, “that some one is looking
around the ship, and talks of setting bear
traps. Ihope- you’re not mad, Mr. Ben-
shaw,” she added, suddenly catching
sight of his changed expression, “at my
foolishness in saying you reminded me
of the pirate. I meant nothing,”
“I know you’re incapable of meaning
anything but good to anybody, Miss Nott;
perhaps to me more than I deserve," said
Renshaw with a sudden burst of feeling.
“I wish—I wish—you would do me a fit-
vor. 'ou asked me one just now.” He
had taken her hand. > It seemed so like a
mere illustration of his earnestness that
she did not withdraw it. “Your father
tells you everything. If he has any oflcr
to dispose of the ship, will you write to me
at once before anything is concluded?” He
winced a little—the sentence of Sleight,
“\Vhat’s the figure you and she have set-
tled upon?” flashed across his mind. He
scarcely noticed that Rosey had withdrawn
her hand coldly.
“Perhaps you had better speak to fa~
thcr, as it is his business. Besides I shall
not be here. I shall be at the Bone .”
“But you said you didn’t want to go?”
“I’ve changed my mind,” said Rosey
listlessly. “I shall go to-night.”
She rose as if to indicate that the inter-
view was ended. With an overpowering
instinct that his whole future happiness
depended upon his next. act, he made a
step toward her, with eager outstretched
hands. But she slightly lifted her own
with a warning gesture, “I hear father
coming—you will have a chance to talk
business with him," she said, and van-
ished into her stateroom.
CHAPTER v1.
The heavy trend of Abner Nott echoed
in the passage. Confused and embar-
rassed, Renshaw remained standing at the
door that had closed upon Rosey as her
father entered the cabin. Providence,
which always fostered Mr. Nott’s char-
acteristic misconception, left that perspi-
cncious parent but one interpretation of
the situation. Rosey had evidently just
informed Mr. Renshaw that she loved
anotherl
“I was just saying tgoodby’ to Miss
Nott," said Benshuw, hastily regaining
his composure with an effort. “I am
going to Sacramento tonight. and will not
return,
“In course, in course," interrupted
Nott, soothingly; “that’s wot you say
now, and that’s what you allow to do.
That's wot they allua do,"
“I mean,” said Ronshaw, reddening at
Ill—.—
wnct he conceived to be an. zillusion to the
abs'co'halng propensities of Nott’s previous
tenants, “I mean that you shall keep the
advance to cover any less you might suffer
through my giving up the rooms.”
“Certiiigly,” said Not-t, laying his hand
with a, large sympathy on Relishuw’s
shoulder; “but we’ll drop that just now.
“'0 won’t swap bosses in the middle of
the river. \Vc'll square up accounts in
your room,” he added, raising his voice
that Roseymight overhear him, after a
preliminary wink at the young man.
“Yes, sir, we’ll just square up anti scl-
t-le'iu there. Come along, Mr. Renshaw."
Pushing him with paternal gentleness
from the cabin, with his hand still upon
his shoulder, he followed him into the pas-
sage. Half annoyed at his familiarity, yet
not altogether displeased by this illus-
tration of Roscy’s belief of his preference,
chslmw wonderingly accompanied him.
Nott closed the door, and pushing the
young man into a chair, deliberately
seated himself at the table opposite. “It’s
just. as well that Roscy reckons that you
and Inc is settlin’ our accounts,” he be-
gnn, cunningly, “and mobbe' it’s just or:
well or. she should reckon you’re goiu’
away.”
“But. I :ini going.” interrupted chshaw,
impatiently. “I leave tonight.”
"Surely, surely,” said Nott, gently,
“that’s wot you kalkilate to do; that’s
just nat’ral in a young teller. That’s
about what I reckon I’d hev done to her
mother if nuythirl’ like this bed ever
cropped up, which it didn’t. Not but
what .llmiry Jane had young tellers
enough around her, but, ’cept ole Judge
Peter, 07. was lamed in the war of 1812,
there ain‘t; no similarity ez I kits-see,” he
added, musingly.
,“I am afraid I can’t see any similarity
either, Mr. Nott,” said Reushaw, strug-
gling between a dawning sense of some
impending absurdity and his growing pas~
sion for Roscy. "‘For Heaven‘s sake
speak out if you’ve got anything to say.”
Mr. Nott leaned forward, and placed
his large hand on the young man’s
shoulder. “That’s what I sed to myself
when I seed how things were pintin’.
‘Spcak out,’ so: I, ‘Abncrl . Speak out if
you’ve got anything to say. You kin
' trust this yer Mr. Ronshaw.» H's ain’t
the kind of man to creep into'the bosom
of a man’s ship for pup‘poses of his own.
He ain’t a man that would hunt round
until he discovered a poor man’s treasure,
and then try to to ’ ”---
“Stop!” said Ranshaw, with a set face
and darkening eyes. “What treasure!
wha-t- man are you speaking of?”
“Why Rosey and Mr. Forrers," re-
turned Nott, simply.
Renshnw sank into his seat again. But
the expression of relief which here passed
swiftly over his face gave way to one of
uneasy interest as Nott went. on.
“P’r’aps it's a. little high falutin’ talkln’
of Rosey czu treasure. But, considerin’,
Mr. Reusliaw, cz she’s the, only. prop'ty
I’ve kept by me for seventeen years cz hez
paid interest and increased in valooc, it
ain’t suyin’ too much to call her so And
(37. Fcrrcrs knows this, he oughter been
content with gougin' me in that horsehair
spec, without goin’ for Rosey. P’r’aps
yer surprised at hearing me speak 0’ my
own flesh and blood 02 if I was talkin’
hoss trade, but you and me is bus’ness
men, Mr. Rensbnw. and we discusses ez
such. We ain’t goin’ to slosh round and
slop over in po't-ry and sentiment,” con-
tinued Nott, with a. ti‘emulous voice, and
a hand that slightly shook on Renshaw’s
shoulder. “We ain‘t goin’ to git up and
sing, ‘Thou’st lnrned to love another
thou’st broken every vow we’ve parted
from each other and my bozom’s lonely
now oh is it well to sever such hearts as
ourn for ever kin I forget thee never fare-
well farewell farewell.’ Ye never hap-
pen’d to hear Jim Baker sing that at the
moosic hall on Dupon't street, Mr. Ben-
shaw,” continued Mr. N ott, enthusias-
tically, when he had recovered from that
complete absence of punctuation which
alone suggested verse to his intellect.
“He sorter struck water down here,” in-
dicating his heart, “every time."
“But what has Miss Nott to do with M.
de Ferrieres?” asked Renshaw, with a
faint smile.
Mr. Nott regarded him with dumb,
round, pstonished, eyes, “Hazn’t she told
yer?” '
“Certainly not.”
“And she didn’t let on onythin’ about
him?” he cmtiuued, feebly.
“She said she’d like to know where”—
Hc stopped, with the reflection that he
was betraying her coutidences.
A dim foreboding of some new form of
deceit, to which even the man before him
was a consenting party, almost paralyzed
Nott’s faculties. “Then she didn’t tell
yer that she and Ferrets was sparkin’ and.
keepin’ kimpany together; that she and
him was engaged, and was kalkilatin’ to
run away to furrin parts; that she cot-
tonedto him more than to the ship or her
father?”
“She certainly did not, and I shouldn‘t
' believe it,” said Beushaw, quickly.
Nott smiled. He was amused; he as-
tutely recognized, the usual truthfulness
of love and youth. There was clearly no
deceit hcrc! Renshaw’s attentiire eyes
saw the 'smile, and his brow darkened.
“I like to hear yer say that, Mr. Ron-
shnw,” said Nott, “and it’s no more than
Rosey deserves, ez it’s suthing onnat’ral
and spell like that’s come over her
through Ferrcrs. It ain’tmy Rosey. But
it’s Gospel truth, whether she’s bewitched
or not; whether it’s them damn fool sto-
ries she reads—and it’s like ez not he’s
just the kind 0’ snipe to write ’em hissclf,
and sorter advertise hisself, don’t yer see
——she’s allus stuck up for him. They’ve
had clandesent interviews, and when I
taxed him with it he as much ez allowed
it was so, and reckoned he must leave, so
ez he could ran her off, you know—-
kinder stampede her with ‘lionor.’
Them‘s his very words.”
“But. that is all past; he is gone, and
Miss Nott does not even know where he
isi" said chshaw, with a laugh, which.
however, concealed a vague uneasiness.
Mr. Nott rose and opened the door care-
fully. then he had satisfied himself
that no one was listening he came back and
said in a whisper, “That’s a lie. Not ez
Rosey means to lie, but it’s a trick he’s
put upon that poor child. That man, Mr.
Renshaw, hez been hangin’ round the
Pontiac ever since. I've seed him twice
with my own eyes pass the cabin windys.
More than that, I’ve heard strange noises
at night and seen strango faces in the
alley over yer. And only jlst now ez I
kemin I ketched sight of a fnrrln lookin’
Chinee nigger slinkiug round the back
door of what useter be Ferrera’ loft."
“Did he look like a sailor?” risked Ren-
shaw quickly, with a return of his former
suspicion.
“Not more than I do," said Nott, glanc-
ing complacently at his pen jacket. “He
had rings on his yeers like a wencli.”
Mr. Renshaw started. But seeing
Nott’s eyes fixed on him, he said lightly,
“But what have these strange faces and
this strange man—probably only a Lascar
sailor out of a job—to do with For
rieres?”
“Friends 0’ his—fallen furrin citizens—
spies on Rosey, don’t you see? But they
can’t play the old man, Mr. Renshnw.
I’ve told Roscy she must make a visit to
tho old Ranch, Once I’ve got her then-
safe, I reckon I, kin—'m‘anage Mr, Ferrers
and any number of Chinec triggers he kin
bring along.” '
chshnw remained for a few moments
lost in thought, Then rising suddenly be
grasped Mr. Nott’s hand with a. frank

Superstition on the Stage.
There is as much superstition among ac-
tors as there is among sailors,” remarked a
member of the profession to a reporter.
“They'aro forever on the lookout for signs,
and them are construed into all kinds of
meanings. The placing of a chair on the
stage in a peculiar position will be taken to
mean something in connection with their suc-
cess, while the action of a single individual in
the audience Wilkhavc a decided eflect upon
their future courie. .
“It is while rehearsing a new play that the
greatest amount of superstition is indulged
in with actors and mongers.
“One of the most noticeable is the effect of
the lines upon the members of the company.
If a. laugh or ever";. a smile is provoked by the
witticism of the 'n'uthor it is regarded as a
bad omen for the success of the piece. If a
pathetic passge'causesp remark regarding
its beauty, the cdnclusion is at once reached
that the play willnot be algo,’ and when the
effect is in the ‘ ' ité directiontheir spirits
rise and the belie , is entertainedthat all will
be well with the play. There are probably
100 other. signs upon which actors hang the
fate of themselves or the play to be pro-
duced.”—Philadelphia Bulletin. .

Mr. M. S. Hamlin, one.of the best known
Insurance men in North Carolina, writes
from Winston, as follows: “Ever since I
was seven years of age I have had what
the doctors call hip disease, and which I
call white swelling. My hip was drawn
out of place. There was a swelling at the
knee-joint, where thgrp is q profuse run:
ning.‘which has been there for years. Of
course this has greatly depleted my sys-
tem, together wh'th surgical operation on

purifier to build: up my system, but none
did me good until I took S. S. 3. I use it
every spring. It always builds me up,
giving me appetite and digestion, and ena-
bles me to stun the long. trying, ener-
vating. hot summer days. To me there is
no such medicine for purifying the blood
and building the wasted system as
S. S. S. On using it I soon became strong
of body and easy of mind. My color
changed from d pale, worn look to a
healthy. robust complexion.”

ODD DINNER IDAINTIES.
QUEER DISHES FOR PEOPLE WHO
ARE GASTRONOMICALLY INCLINED.
A Delicious Roast of Wild Cut—The Ex-
cellence of Horseilosh—Beotlc Paste and
Pickled Grasshoppers—Locusts on Toast.
A Florida Dainty. -
It has often been said that the man who
first ntenrnw oyster must have been not
only brave, but hungry, and although there
an) few of us who have been equally bravo iii
tasting new dishes, we think it; safoto say that
there are many more who would have to be
very hungry before eating broiled rattlesnake
or baked buzznrd, and yet those who have
eaten broiled snake declare it to be, when
properly cooked, excellent eating.
A few winters ago, in Florida, I was iii-
vitcd toafcast in the wilderness, and ate
heartily of a delicious roast of meat; on ask-
ing for a second plate I inquired what; it was,
and was told that it was roast wild cat.
Not; for the 'wholc state of Florida could I
have eaten another mouthful, and yet my
vis-a-vis exclaimed, “Wild cntl—it is do-
licious!” How could he? I thought. Of
course I was glad afterward thatI had tasted
wild cat, but I could not have felt any more
. uncomfortable for a while if, they had told
me thatI had eaten part of the alligator I
had seen brought in from the swamp that
morning, or a pie made of the beautiful little
chameleons that were to. be found every-
where; and in fact I am not quite sure but
thntsomo of the tough black steaks that we
had nttbo St. Augustine and Jacksonville
hotels were not alligator steaks. However,
every one tohis taste: the Chinaman will
tell you that mice are “very good eating,”
the Frenchman that horse flesh “is excel—
lent," the negro that ’possum and ’coon “airs
belicious,” t—hc cannibal that nothing equals
the flesh of his enemy, and so on.
PREPARING rnocs’ LEGS.
Although frog spouting became a fashion-
wns practiced both by men and women. we
hardly think that even hazel wood cross
bows and silken cards; will induce American
girls to follow their French cousins in this
rather questionable amusement; still, as
there are recipes to be found for the serving of
frogs’ logs in some of the new cook books, it.
proves that it is not an unknown dish nor an
unliked one, and for the benefit of those who
affect something odd for the table the follow-
ing suggestions for dishes and dinners are
offered.
There are several ways of preparing frogs’
legs, tho simplest being it mind; fried, with
sauce tartar-en ; patties of frogs’ leg: and a.
plain fry. For the lust, which is the sim-
plest of all, skin, and boil for five minutes
in salted water, then throw into cold water
and drain; roll in cracker crumbs, and i'rv
in hot fat. ,
Those who visit Florida. in the winter can
indulge in palmetto cabbage, which is the
tender bud of the tree and prepared just as
you would boil cabbage, not forgetting to
change the water at least twice It also
makes an excellent pickle.
“’0 have heard it stated by those who have
tried it that watermelon is vastly improved
by pouring claret or champagne over it.
Some time since The London Standard pub
lished two recipes which we think will serve
as extreme examples in taste. They were for
beetle paste and pickled grasshoppers; tho
iattcris a New Zealand dish, but is none the
less recommended. The beetles which arr-
used are the common black ones. They
should be soaked in vinegar for six hours.
then dried in the sun for two hours; the
outer shell can their be easily removed. leav
ing the flesh, which resembles 3, Shrimp.
Now mix with flour, butter, pepper and salt
into thick paste, and set; in a cool oven for
two hours. When cold serve with bread and
butter. The grasshoppers should be steeped
in salt or pork brine for two hours, then
boiled in the brine for twenty minutes, then
rinsed in lukewarm water, and remove the
heads, legs and wings (if any are left). They
are now ready for the table, and should be
eaten with crackers.
A CHINESE DISH.
A Chinese student tells us that locusts on
toast is as fashionable a dish in northern
China as quail on toast is in America, and we
sec no reason to doubt; his assertion that they
are delicious eating. To prepare them the
locusts are thrown into a hot dry pot and
covered. When they are dead a. handful of
salt is thrown in, and they are stirred until
crisp; then serve on toast. They are said to
resemble a salt herring in taste.
One of the dainties of a Florida seaside ho~
tel last winter was Frenchcd couch, and many
a guest ate it and enjoyed it without knowing
exactly what; it was. It is the fish whose
- beautiful pink shells are made so much of in
Florida, and it is good eating .hen properly
cooked. It is usually fried in butter, ormnde
into soup.
An odd way of entertaining is to serve na~
tional dinners, such as a Swedish dinner, at
which every dish has been prepared in
Swedish fashion. One very important fea—
ture might be the use of black bread, which
can only be obtained from a Swedish baker.
Another Swedish dish is an omelet made with
grated cheese, butter and milk, and cooked,
in the *dish in which it is served, A Scotch
dinner consists of knit soup, kippered salmon,
haggis, giblet pie, ontoake, barley scone, and

Trade Controlled by Foreigners.
People who are unable to leave New York
can see the process of gathering the trade of
the country into the hands of foreigners go.
ing on under their eyes. Merchants who are
stillin business in New York can remember
when the commerce and trade of the town
were absolutely .controlled, by Americans.
and when almost all the signs which hung
above shop doors bore the names of English
speaking people. .How is it now? Ride down
Broadway in a street car and look at the
beautiful buildings which line that thorough.
fare. The stores are large and filled with
costly goods, but fully one half of these
stores are owned by foreigners. If the sign
of an old American firm is removed it is al-
most invariably replaced by one bearing a
name which terminates in “shine” or “berg”
or “boom” or “wold” or “child." Other
streets in New York are almost wholly given
over to foreigners. The American importers
of dry goods have been virtually driven out
of the business. As they disappear, firms
composed of well drmd and highly intelli;
gent Jews take their places or sturdy Gen
mans hoist signs bearing their; names above
the doors and prosper where Americans
failed—Frank; Wilkerson in New York Times.
New Knowledge About Car Couplers.
The idea that it was necessary tohave a.
certain amount of loose play between the
cars composing a long train, in order to start
the train easily, had become by practice nud'
theory almost as fixed in the minds of rail.
way people as is the geometrical axiom that;
two parallel lines can never meet. The
theory was, by starting one car first, and so
gaining a little inertia, then the next canons!
so on, it was made possible for an engine to
start and haul a. long train of agiven weight.
when, if there were no play, the engine
would be stalled and unable to start the train.
But the fallacy of the practice and the
theory was conclusively established during
the remarkable series of car coupler experi-
ments made by the Mamie Car Builders’ ash
weiation, at Burlington. Iowa, this year.
During these trials it was demonstrated be-
' yond all question that it required less power
to start a train with all the couplings tight-
than to pull the train after the train was put
in motion; and the coupler committee came
to the conclusion that the coupler of the
future ought to be an approved form of the
close hook style—Scientific American.
A Cure for ‘Vakefulness.
Many a middle aged man who is in the
habit of going to bed after eating a hearty
meal is puzzled when he finds himself waking
up in the small hours of the morning, day
nftnr day, and unable to gel: to sleep again}
He knows that this wakefulness is unnatural,
but it never occurs to him that it is due to
hisstomach, It took me several years, dur-
ing which. I: Teal; months of sleep, to find this
out, but now I know it. If the victim of in-
somnia whom I have described will rise from
his bed when he wakes and drink a pint of
water he will go to sleep again immediately,
and will not wake again until his ordinary
boon—Maj. E. 8. Foster in Globe-Democrat.
