HANES, DENTIST. | Office upstairs in building adjoining, on I the north, M Williams & Bon. 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!”— New York Sun. 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.

A COSTLY SURPRISE. »» Story aC a VowtM at /sly Bowtag ©oisteot at Hoaolalo WMIoM KmptteA tBo Btekota red Tas.ret.it Um *aelia«a of Vaala Saaa*. Jaakiaa. “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. ” Washington Star.
