EATING IN GERMANY.
THE SARCASMS OF A VICTIM WHO
| SURVIVED ITS CHARMS.
He Kick. All the Way Do WU Bin
Fere and la Particularly Irritated Orer
a Dlah of Powdered Hone Radish Served
With Froron Whipped Cream.
When you have examined the con
stitution of the German cuisine, you
are tempted to grow loquacious. You
are conscious of having discovered that
the psychology of a nation cannot be
constructed upon a mere analysis of its
made dishea. Your estimate of Brillat-
Savarin sinks. He could not tell you
what you are, even from all the menus
of your lifetime. Freiligrath’s philo
sophic conclusion that “man is what
he eats” you straightway qualify aa
true only when referring to cannibal
ism. And you will aver that only in
the case of paleolithic man can you
construct a man .from the crumbs that
fall from his dinner tabla And this
you will want to prove, and conse
quently will grow talkative with pre
senting of much evidence.
And yet, in your sane moments, you
will have a sneaking affection for the
statement that a German is a German
because he eats what he eats. As a gen
eral rule he may be said to eat five
times a day. But hie hunger is con
stantly being stilled.
He starts early in the day with a cup
of case an lait and a small buttered
roll. This keeps him going till 11
o’clock, when he demolishes a slice of
buttered rye bread spread with slices
of hard boiled egg,' raw chopped beef or
cheese. This he washes down with a
glass of ale, thus stilling his inner man
till dinner time. Dinner takes place to
ward 1 o’clock and consists of soup
(generally nourishing), a plate of meat,
with potatoes and fruit (cranberries,
prunes or apricots), occasionally cheese,
seldom sweets, rarely a green vegetable.
Three hours later coffee is taken,
served with a piece of cake or thick
bread and butter. This is the hour pre
cious to the gossip and the busybody,
the time for spreading scandal. Toward
8 o’clock tke appetite again asserts
itself. The hour of the übiquitous sau
sages has arrived. Their name is legion,
and they share the honors with slices
of ham, smoked goose breast, pieces of
raw pickled herring, and in summer
bard boiled eggs and potato salad.
Such is the German method of spread
ing the meals over the day. Os course
there are exceptions. Many families
have two ample meals a day, but the
bulk of the population eats mostly but
tered bread and snacks. In justice to
Germany one must say that the fare in
many a home will compare favorably
with that of many an American family.
In the German restaurant the cuisine
is on the whole monotonous and the
food singularly insipid. All meats seem
to have the same flavor, all are served
with the same heavy, viscous sauces,
and invariably escorted with the same
soaplike potatoes. Stodginess and heavi
ness are the great blots oh the German
fare. The element of variety, too, seems
considered superfluous.
In the concrete the subject is almost
too painful to face, the difficulty being
to steer clear of exclamations denoting
positive offensiveneas. Some of the
kickshaws which figure regularly upon
the German table are reputed to be most
sustaining. They certainly are intense
ly and ostentatiously wonder inspiring.
One preparation is everywhere met
with under the name (more or less pho
netically spelled) of beefsteak ala tar
tare. Its basis is raw chopped beef;
this, spread out into a pat df elliptical
shape, is crowned with the raw yolk of
an egg, raw finely chopped onion is
sprinkled over it, a garniture of gher
kins is added, and the whole is eaten
with much gusto and no worse conse
quences than a durable thirst
In many of the dishes you discover
all the humor, feeling and imagination
of a Wagnerian composition. You find
the resolute desire to build up harmony
upon discord. Os this nature may be
considered the traditional menu of New
Year’s eve, carp, pancake and punch.
These three, brought into immediate
juxtaposition and consumed in plethoric
quantities, generally have the desired
effect—that of inducing a hysterical
good humor.
For stodginess nothing beats the fa
vorite dish, panache. It consists of
pickled pork, sour cabbage and a puree
of split peas boiled down to the con
sistency of stiff dough. Experiments on
this mass produce deplorable capers and
cause one to grunt mournfully. A va
riety of this diet is found in Berlin.
You substitute boiled balls of dough
and indifferent prunes for the peas and
cabbage, and you have the dish popu
larly termed “the Silesian kingdom of
heaven.” Cold eels, imbedded in a
translucid, glutinous substance, figure
in all workmen’s taverns, while roast
goose is de rigueur for all solemnities.
A dainty which we have recently
met with in Berlin recalled Darwin’s
remark that “hardly any experiment is
so absurd as not to be worth trying.”
It consisted of finely powdered horse
radish served up with frozen whipped
cream.
One may sum up one’s judgment by
saying of German cooking what the art
critic said of nature, “It has infinite
potentialities.” Not the least of these
is its ambition to discover victims that
survive its charms only in the form
that the walls of Jericho survived the
trumpet blast of Joshua.—Lippincott’s
Magazine.
Protected Carrier Pigeon*.
Carrier pigeons in China are protect
ed from birds of prey by a little appa
ratus consisting of thin bamboo tubes
fastened to the birds’ bodies with thread
passed beneath the w ings. As the pigeon
flies along the action of the air through
the tubes produces a shrill whistling
sound, which keeps birds of prey at a
respectful distance.

In no country are there more dia
monds to be found than in the United
States, according to the population. It
is estimated by a leading Maiden lane
(New York) diamond dealer that there
are upward of 1500,000,000 worth at
diamonds in this country. Moreover,
this vast amount is increasing year by
year.
Until quite recently diamonds were
rarely cut in this country, but Amar
ican inventors have developed a process
for diamond cutting which is vastly su
perior to that done abroad.
The loss in weight through cutting is
sometimes fully one-half, but the value
is increased probably more than two
fold.
The Dutch city of Amsterdam has
been the great diamond cutting center of
the world from time immemorial and
up to a few years ago over IS,OOO peo
ple in that place were directly or indi
rectly dependent upon this trade.
But it was not reasonable to suppose
that Amsterdam should continue to hold
a monopoly of diamond cutting. As one
of the greatest imparting cities of the
world, New York gradually offered in
ducements to diamond cutters, and an
Industry has been gradually built up
here th*t is now very flourishing and
profitable. In 1858 Henry D. Morse of
Boston invented a machine for cutting
and polishing diamonds, and since then
improvements have been made upon it
that are very important The foreigners
continue to polish their stones by hand,
but in this country machinery is large
ly used.
A famous gem expert places the total
value of all the diamonds in the world
at over fl, 000,000,000, of Which |850,-
000,000 worth are in the hands of deal
ers, carried as stock. All of the other
diamonds are in the hands of private in
dividuals, and the question naturally
arises, who owns them* This is not so
easily answered, except in the case of
large and world famous gems.—Godey’s
Magazine.
PAYNE’S DESERTED TOMB.
BemlnUMneu of the Author of “Home,

The old Christian cemetery at Tunis
is one of the strangest sights in that
strange town. Just off a busy thorough
fare, under an ancient archway, is a
heavy wooden gate, much worn by the
lapse of time, thickly studded with fan
tastic nails and provided with a prodi
gious knocker. The latter, however, is
not needed, for the gate yields to an
energetic push, and you find yourself in
a large, walled inclosure, half garden,
half graveyard, where an Italian wom
an is hanging out clothes among the
gaunt white tombs. It is 12 years since
any one was buried here, and the place
is beginning to look neglected. The
modern cemetery is now outside the
walls, and its guardian told me that
many people came to him to inquire for
the monument of “an American poet”
or “an American consul,’’and he had
to send them to the old graveyard. The
monument in question is that of the
author ot “Horae, Sweet Home,” and
it bears the following inscription upon
its sides:
“In memory of John Howard Pnyn,
author of ‘Home, Sweet Home. ’ Born
June 9, 1791; died April 9, 1852.
Erected A. D. 1855.”
[American Arms—eagle surmounted
by motto “E Pluribus Unum. ”] “Died
at the American consulate in Tunis
Aged 60 years and 10 months.”
“In the tomb beneath this stone the
poet’s remains lay buried for 80 years.
On Jam 5, 1888, they were disinterred
and taken away to his native land,
where they received honor and final
burial in the city of Washington June
9, 1883. ‘Then be content, poor heart. ’ ’’

Pnrlrts and Pedants.
Many purists condemn such a phrase
as “no sort or kind” on the ground of
tautology. I should be Sorry, however,
to see it disappear, because it is a land
mark in English philology. It is a relic
of the fusion of Saxon and Norman-,
French. At that period many phrases of
a bilingual character crept into use, and
this is one of them. “Truth and honor”
is another, truth being “troth,” or hon
or, as in “by my troth.” “Voice” as a
verb is much objected to, coming to us
moderns as it does from American
sources—e. g., to “voice” the public
sentiment. I don’t like it and never
use it, but it occurs in Shakespeare.
Notoriously many so called Ameri
canisms are old English provincialisms.
The purists threaten, indeed, to become
insufferable pedants. It is now the cus
tom of the printer’s reader—our great
authority—to treat “none” as invari
ably singular, a contraction for no one.
But it is useful as a plural and is so
used in Shakespeare—e. g., “Speak
daggers, but use none.” Why may we
not continue to say, “I spoke to no wo
men at the meeting because there were
none present?”—Academy.
