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. ' r ' '"J. AMERICA? — Half » Billion Dollar** Worth O*Md Hero—Amoaat RapiSly Inorrosta*. 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, Sweat 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. ’ ’’ “Bure when thy gentle spirit fled To realms beyond the axure dome With arms outstretched God's angel said, ‘ Welcome to heaven's home, sweet home.' *’ There is a certain appropriateness about the fact that the author of the exile’s most pathetic anthem should have died so many thousand miles away from home.—London Sketch.

Then my wife came back at me with the statement that if her mother wasn’t welcome we might as well come to an understanding at once and arrange for a separation. I replied that she was welcome so long as she was willing to mind her own business, but that it was A well known fact that no mother-in law ever had succeeded in doing that yet Naturally the result was that when her mother arrived my wife and I were not on the best of terms, and it didn’t take long for the old lady to see it.

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.

Justice Brewer has noted some curi ous coincidences in regard to the mem bers of the supreme court.

Before the retirement of Justice Field on the right of the chief justice were seated the three colors, Justices Gray, Brown and White.
