HE WILL ENLIST NEXT TIME.
A Stay •» Otarrre. the Look oC •
Man Who W«L» a Vslaatsar.
“If there la ever another war, I am go
ing to enlist, regardless of the cause.”
This was the continuation of a dinner
talk at a club in this city. The speaker
proceeded; .J ■ v
T “The other day 1 saw Mrs. Blank try
ing to hall the driver of an lee wagon by
yelling at him. I was ftamfounded, be
canse she is generally a helpless creature,
and I never heard of her interesting her
self In any of the domestic duties of her
house. I mentioned the unusual occur
rence to my wife at dinner, and she mid
she thought it was very commandable in
Mrs. Blank. J ventured to reply that it
was not graceful and that I should not
care to sse my wife yelling at an iceman
or any maqfc
“ ‘But, you see,' rejoined my wife as
she passed my cup, ‘Mrs. Blank’s husband
was a volunteer.’
“ ‘True,’ said I, ‘but his command nevr
er got te the front. No fault of his, I ad
mit.* And now he is home and Is as
healthy and robust as I am. He told me
himself his army experience was an outing
for him, and that ho never felt better in
his life.’
“ ‘Quite true,’ said my wife, ‘but Mrs.
Blank probably thinks of what might
have been. I saw her calling to the ice
man—she was not yelling, as you put It,
and she explained to me, dear, that her
husband expressed a desire for a dish the
preparation Os which required an extra al
lowance of Ice, and that as he had said he
had not tasted the dish In question since
be enlisted she thought she would have it
prepared, and in order that there might be
no mistake she just put on her hat and at
tended to the order herself. And I think
It was very sweet of her. ’
. “I immediately changed the topic. Aft
er a cigar I said I would call up my livery
man and have him send around the vic
toria and team. I thought an evening on
Riverside in the face of the moon about
the proper thing. As I was starting to
the telephone my wife put her arms around
my neck and said she had sent the team
around to Mrs. Blank’s because Mrs.
Blank had said that Mr. Blank had not
been out for a drive since he enlisted.
“Last Saturday I concluded I would
give my wife a bit of a surprise, and at 10
o’clock in the morning I called her over
the wire and told her to have the man
bring her traps for a bit of a cruise. She
thanked me and Said I was thoughtful
and put in some very pretty talk. She said
in the same treacle tone:
“ ‘Say, Jim, dear, do you care if Mr.
and Mrs. Blank join ust*
“ ‘Why?’ I shouted back. ‘They had
the rig the other day when I wanted it
Confound It, can’t we have our yacht one
night alone?’ I asked. “
“Well, I waited a minute lor .the effect,
and then I heard her voice, low and sweet:
‘Jim, dear, I know it Was not just right,
but I had asked them to go aboard this
evening after you came up. I was going
to surprise you. And Mrs. Blank said Mr.
Blank had not been on a yacht since he
enlisted. I thought it would be nice.*
“And so it goes. Mr. and Mrs. Blank
were at a card party at my house, and my
wife said she hoped I would not skin Mr.
Blank as I used to do, because he had not
been to a card party since he enlisted. Nir.
Blank sent over for my fishing outfit—yOu
know that outfit, which cost me 1300 three
years ago; never had it out but twice.
Well, I was out of town, and my wife sent
it over, and when I howled about it she
said poor Mr. Blank had not been fishing
since he enlisted.
“And now Mr. and Mrs. Blank and my
wife are away up in the Adirondacks,
’cause Mr. Blank has not been anywhere
since he enlisted. And when he looks at
me and sees me getting red In the face he
shuts one eye and says, ‘Jim, you missed
it when you didn’t enlist ’ Why, d—n his
head, he hasn’t been out of the state!”—

Philippine Island Eagles.
The insurrection in the Philippine is
lands, now followed by the attack on Ma
nila by the United States fleet, has brought
to a close a very interesting set of expedi
tions to explore the animal life of this very
little known archipelago, says a writer in
Cophtry Life Illustrate. These were con
ducted by Mr. John Whitehead, and
among the results of his labors was the
discoviuy in 1896 of the largest eagle in
the world. It was shot on the island of
Samar, one ot the Philippines, where it
lives above the level of tho enormous for
est, consisting of trees 80 yards high, and
feeds on monkeys. It is larger than the
golden eagle, more powerful than the harpy
eagle and has a beak higher, deeper and
more formidable than that of any other
raptorial bird. It weighs from 16 pounds
to 20 pounds, while the average weight ot
a golden eagle is only 12 pounds.
The only full grown specimen of the
great forest eagle obtained there is in the
Museum of Natural History at South Ken
sington. It was disabled by a single buck
shot in the neck and ultimately taken down
from the tree to which it clung by a native
hunter. Its claws are as formidable as Its
beak and resemble those of the harpy eagle.
Wanted to Begin » Record.
An anecdote he told me with keen relish
was of two “bad men” who “shot it out”
with Winchester rifles on the main street
of Modora. One of them fell with a bullet
in his hip, his rifle dropping out of reach.
His antagonist was aiming for the ooup
do grace when he felt a touch on his arm.
Looking round, he saw a meek and ven
erable old person called “Uncle Blllv,”
who gained his livelihood by sweeping
out a saloon, cleaning the cuspidors and
serving an occasional drink.
“Jake,” said the old man imploringly,
“let me finish him. I never killed a man
yit.”—Chicago Record.
A Question of Time.
A certain strapping private is as good a
soldier as ever munched hard tack, but
he has no more sense of humor than the
barrel of After the midday meal
a lieutenant set him rather a difficult task,
remarking:
“If you accomplish that this afternoon,
I shall say you may become as great a man
as General Merritt. ”
“Lieutenant,” declared the private very
solemnly, “I’ll do it this afternoon if it
takes me till morning.’’—St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
Not a Criterion.
“They say that Dewey used to be a bad
boy.”
“Well, what of it?”
“Why, it proves that the boy you set
down as no good can generally be depend
ed upon to surprise you.”
“Nothing of the sort. I’ll bet there were
6,000,000 boys in this country who were
just as bad as or worse than Dewey was
when he was young. Have you ever
heard of any great things done by any of
the other 4,999,999 of them?”—Cleveland
Leader.
EATING IN GERMANY.
THE SARCASMS OF A VICTIM WHO
SURVIVED ITS CHARMS.
He Micks AU the Way Dowa the BUI of*
Fare and Is ParHealarly Irritated Over
a Dish of nowdered Hone Radish Served
With Freeea Whipped Crams.
When you bate examined Cha Con
stitution of the German oniitaie, you
are tempted to grow loquacious,
are conscious of having discovered that
the psychology of a nation camrat be
constructed upon a mere analysis of its
made dishes. Jfour estimate of Brillat-
Savarin sinks. Ke 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 as
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 table. 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, yon
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 his hunger is con
stantly being stilled.
He starts early in the day with a cup
of case au 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 the appetite again asseits
itself. The hour of the übiquitous sau
sages has arrived. Their name is legion,
and they shave the honors with slices
of ham, smoked goose breast, pieces of
raw pickled herring, and in summer
hard 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 on the German
fare. The element of variety, too, seems
considered superfluous.
In the concrete the subject is almost
too painful face, the difficulty being
to steer clearbf exclamations denoting
positive offensiveness. 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 a la tar
tare. Its basis is raw chopped beef;
this, spread out into a pat of 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
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.
Protested Carrier Pigeons.
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 wings. 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
A GREAT BOAT RACE.

THE BENNINGTON’S CRACK CREW GOT

“About as dismal a Fourth at July
u erat I oh board a man
o’-war,” said an ax-sailor of the navy
now living in Washington to a report
er, “was Independence day not many
years ago down in the harbor of Mono
lulu. The Bennington had an ail star
racing boat’s ere*; The eight had just
happened to be assigned to the Bo
nington in a bunch before she left for
her Pacific cruise, and several ot the
oarsmen had been members of the Co
lumbia's crack boat’s crew that walloped
alt of the British navy’s boats* crews in
English waters a few years before.
The Bennington’s cutter was one of
the best in the navy, and she had been
built for a racer. Before we left the
Mare Island navy yard for south Pacific
waters the ship’s racing aruwhad easily
beaten all of the other crews of the
ships lying at the yard, including the
tiptop crew of the Olympia and the
Boston’s fine crew. We thought that
we were about as warm as they make
’em after our crew put it on so many
other man-o’-war crews, giving them a
couple of minutes the start of us, too,
on numerous occasions and still beating
them disgracefully.
“The people of Honolulu arranged
an aquatic festival for the Fourth of
July—the Americans down there cele
brated the Fourth just as enthusiastic
ally as we do up here—and the Ben
nington’s crew figured in it largely.
Our ship’s colors were at the fore in the
two races that were run with picked
Kanaka crews, and the third and last
race of the day was one in which our
crackajack eight was to figure, the other
races having been won by subcrews
practically picked at random from
among the strongest seamen.
“We thought this race was at our
mercy. It was to be a four sided affair—
one crew of Kanaka sugar field workers,
a crew of Kanaka policemen and the
racing crew of the yacht Eleanor, be
longing to Mr. Slater of Providence,
that had pulled into Honolulu harbor
from Japan a few days before. Our
crew didn’t pay much attention to the
yacht’s racing crew and were only fig
uring on the distance they could beat
the crew of Kanaka policemen, which
seemed the most formidable.
“The race was over the four mile
course carefully blocked out in the har
bor—which rrss very smooth—by the
Honolulu squatio sportsmen, and the
start was first rate. There wasn’t a man,
fore or aft, on the Bennington that
didn’t stand to go broke to the extent
of at least a month’s pay on the success
of the Bennington’s crew, and we had
to give 3 to 1, too, for it was generally
conceded that we had the race at our
mercy.
“The start, as I said, was good, and
the Bennington’s crew showed in front
first and started out apparently to make
a runaway race of it. The Kanaka po
licemen’s crew trailed after them, pull
ing steadily, then the Kanaka sugar
workers and, a good ten lengths to the
rear, the Eleanor’s crew. This was the
way it looked for the finish when the
Bennington’s crew rounded the stake
boat and started for the return trip.
“Some of the Honolulu men who bad
their money up on the two Kanaka
crews actually began to square accounts,
and theory, ‘lt's all over—Bennington I’
was heard all over the bay. When the
stakeboat was rounded, it was noticed
that the Eleanor’s boat was sort of get
ting a move on itself, and the men
were working like machines at a long,
steady stroke that certainly looked as if
it was cutting down the Bennington’s
lead and the lead of the two Kanaka
boats.
“Two minutes after the stakeboat
was rounded the Eleanor’s gang were
right abreast of the Kanaka cutters and
gaining on them with every stroke, and
the cox’un of the Bennington’s cutter,
hearing the yells of warning from the
Bennington bluejackets ashore, looked
behind him and saw the Eleanor cutter
only two lengths behind him and com
ing like an electric launch. Our crew
was tired, and that’s all there was
about it.
“The Eleanor’s crew had held them
selves in for the finish, and they cer
tainly did make a Garrison finish of it
The yacht’s cutter shot ahead of our
cutter a good mile from home, and then,
to make the thing more gidling, the
crew actually stopped rowing until the
Bennington’s crew was alongside again.
Then they took to the oars again, and
from then on it was a howling farce.
The Eleanor’s crew just romped their
cutter tn ten lengths ahead of our cut
ter and the Kanakas ■ quarter of a
mile in the tear.
“You never saw such a disgusted lot
of men in your life as the men and
officers on the Bennington. The Elea
nor’s ship company had taken all of the
Bto 1 money they could get on board
our ship, far they knew they bad a good
thing up their sleeve. The Eleanor’s
crew on the whole trip around the
world that was wound up at San Fran
cisco had not been beaten once in a cut
ter race, and the yacht’s sailors had
made sail kinds of money in betting 00
their crew. It was a minor sort of con
solation for us when we found out that
five of the Eleanor’s racing crew were
ex-American xnan-o’-war’s men. ”

Winning race horses are generally
bays, chestants ar browns, and for every
hundred bays among them there are 50
chestnuts and 30 browns. There is no
record of an Important race being won
by a piebald.

begin it is often too late to act.—Quin
