~7T GRBAT number of persona fq
/\ New York City make theii
liriog in original and unique
? ways. Without a doubt one
of the most refreshing and original, as
well as remunerative, of the outlying
professions is that of a young Frenchman.
Only a few years ago he was a
cook iu a famous restaurant in Paris.
One of his compositions, "a symphony"
"i eggs una musnrooras, probably, happened
to tickle the jaded palate of a
wealthy American who was traveling
abroad, and in a short time tho culinary
artist's sphere of usefulness was transferred
from the Boulevard dcs Italiens
to Fifth avenue. He received a salary
rqunl to that of a bauk cashier, and had
very much less work to do; but h:s artistic
soul aspired to something higher.
Fiually his cpportunity came. . There
was a great exhibition iu the Madison
Square Garden of the possibilities and impossibilities
of the scieuce of gastronomy,
and the masterpiece of tho yotiug
Frenchman easily carried oil the prize.
Immediately his services were in demand
by a score of millionaires, but ho declined
all of the offers made to him of a
position.
'- Much as I would like to do so," ho
mid, 4*1 cannot devote all my time to
your afTairs, owing to my numerous engagements;
but whenever you have a
dinner on hand of a special nature, I
shall be glad to ofTer my service# iu superintending
its preparation."
Diuner giving hail become a popular
form of cuiertaiuiug iu New York, nnd
soon this favorite difr:plo of Epicurus
had more engagement* than ho could
fill, light as was the work lie was expected
to do. His duties simply cousist
iu the preparation of a menu, nud
then when the dinner is almost rendy to
he served he goes into the kitcheu and
tastes nnd puts the finishing touches to
the different dishes before they g) to
the table. To tho uninitiated the

Remarkable Rainfall.
We often hear people declare that (luriug
a certain heavy shower "at least a
foot of water fell." That such a phenomenal
shower would be impossible I shall
now attempt to prove: An acre is equal
to 6,272,640 square inches; an inch of
water over tho surface of an inch would
meau 6,272,610 cubic inches, which, at
the usually estimated rato of 211 iachos
to the galloD, means 22,000. This immense
quantity of water would weigh
2jS'J,000 pounds or exactly 10 J tout I
Just think of it, aud this calculation is
on the basis of only an inch of raiufall,
not a foot. Yet mauy roiiablo (?) men
will tell you that they have 803n woadea
buckets of ton and twelve inches in
height raiued full iu less than aa hour.
Such declarations are simply nonsense of
the most nonsensical kiud.
Throughout most of the Unite 1 States
the amount of raiu which falls in twentyfour
hours rarely exceeds one inch, which
means 100 tons of water to tho acre.
There arc exceptions to all rules, of
course, aud occasionally tho fall ia much
more remarkable. Thus at Flatbush,
Loug Island, ou tho 22.1 of August, 1843,
nine inches of rain fell in loss than eight
hours; at (Jutskill, N. Y., on July 26,
1819, iifteen iuchcs of wa er fell in six
hours; at Wilmiugton, Dal., ou July 29,
1831, inches t'elv in less than two
hours and a half, and at Fairfield, Ohio,
ou the 12th day of August, 1861, eight
iuchcs of water foil in uleven hours.

An interesting and curious case, Blushing

irk man whilst attending a machiuo
id for cutting blooks of tin had the
is of two of the Angers of his left hand
an cut off with a kuife. Seven hours
erwards the man went to the hospital
- treatment. The surgeon determined
sttcmpt to replace ttie missing porns
of tho fingers, although the prosct
of getting them to unite seemed to
most remote. The wounds were careIly
cleansed nnd tho ends of the Angers
re restored to their places and gxed
saturcs. In a fortnight firm union
s found to bavo occurred, and when

Dew rail of a Tear.
Strictly speaking, dew does not "fall,"
it is always formed upon tbe substance
upon which it is found, and cannot, in
any sense of the word, bestid to "fall"
from tbe atmosphere as rain and snow
do.
Dew is a great respecter of colors.
To prove this take pieces of glass or
boards and paiut them'' fed, yellow,
green and black. Expose them at night
and you will find that the yellow will be
covered with moisture; that the green
will be damp, but that the red and tbe
black will be left perfectly dry I On an
area of land equal to the six* of the
State of Missouri the amount of "dewfall"
per annum would be 19,156,219,*
S22 tons, counting the ton of 252 imperial
gallons.?St. Louis llepubltc.
