TYPICAL DINNER IN FRANCE
PHnoeet Haiun Tell* of ? Meal and
It* Service In the Land of
True Epicures.
A typioal French dinner? not an
exceptional one, mark you. but such
a dinner aa a mm ill tradesman's fam
ily would have la Incomparably su
perior to the plain roast dinner.
There would be, first of all, a fow
relishes, according to the aeaaon of
the year. Radiahes, Ice cold, sardine*,
olives, caviar. Just a little of each
with which to awaken the appetite,
then the soup to excite gently the
liquids' of the throat and stomach,
then a little entree usually a bit of
fish with its appropriate vegetable,
or a handful of vegetables flavored
with meat aauce. Then, and not till
then, does the ehief course appear.
It may be a roust, or game, or
chicken, or chops, but in no case will
it be anything which is not In har
mony with the previous courses and it
will be eaten in moderation, for the
edge of the diner's appetite will have
been dulled by the lighter foods which
havo preceded it. With it comes the
aalad ? varied throughout the year by
all the possible changes of the sea
son, and never, never by any possi
bility will it be such a dreadful green
hybrid as the romalne, strawberry
and green pepper thing. After the
salad thsre will lie fruit or mellow
cheese, and then coffee. It will take
two hours to eat such a dinner, but It
will take only half what the typical
American dinner costs to pay fOr It,
and there will be no indigestion aft
erward, no matter of what the din
ner is composed* ? Princess Ilass&n In
an Interview by Louise Rico in tho
Delineator.
GIVE THIS A LITTLE THOUGHT
There le a Point to This Imported
Joke, But Perhaps You Will Have
To Look for It.
This is not an American joke. The
reader is solemnly warned that It
is of German extraction. Germans,
as everybody knows, like their Jests
broad and brutal. The victim of this
one was Cousin Hugo.
It seems Cousin Hugo made a night
of it and got home as the small hours
began to cease to be so small. As
he climbed the stairs he stumbled (in
spite of the most elaborate care) and
rolled down Into the hall below. The
consequence, for Cousin Hugo Is not
so young as he used to bo, was a brok
en collarbone and a strained back.
Ahead even of the milkman, then,
came the family doctor, an estimable
old gentleman, and administered
soothing words while he encased the
patient in plaster, '?
"I know, my dear sir," he said, "that
it hurts like the deuce, but It Is not
a bit dangerous. All the same you'll
have to stay in bed for a while. You
got a nasty fall. How did it happen?
Was it dark?"
"It was not, doctor," replied Cousin
Hugo with some' asperity, *'It was,
light."... _ 1, .. ... .. |

Curing Wood.
Wood has contagious diseases! A
stick of wood in a lumber yard may be i
Bick and infect other timbers, which
later may develop the disease when
they are supporting weights in a new
building. Some of the diseases are so j
contagious that in a building they will
Jump several feet across masonry or
brick to some stick of healthy wood.
Cures were recently discussed by the
American Society of Mechanical En
gineers.
Most of the diseases are varieties of
dry rot caused by a fungus, and most
of the varieties of dry rot fungus can
not stand heat much over 100 degrees;
so the most likely cure Is to close a
building up tight, if any beams are in
fected, and heat it up to 120 or 140 de
grees. Even this is not always sue*
cessful, for ends of beapis are burled
In the outer brick walls and the heat
may not reach them. ? Saturday Ev?* !

Says Ants D6 Not Co-Operate.
M. Cornetz, a practised observer of
insect life, asserts that ants know
nothing of co-operation in their social
life. In proof he cites an experiment
which any one can repeat. ? Offer an
ant a piece of cheese shaped like a
shuttle; it seizes the tip, turns it
about and starts dragging it in the di
rection of Its nest. Other ants arrive
and seize the cheese by Its sides. It
continues to advance, but njore slowly.
There Is no united effort; each ant i
is trying to turn the crumb of cheeso '
around. If we chaso off the ants on :
the right the cheese will turn to the I
i rig&t, for the other ants are pushing
it. Chase off those on the left and it '
turns to the left for the same reason, j
Chase off the one that is pulling it and
I it stands still, for the ants on each sUU j
I counteract each other.
| . M. Cornetz holds this a proof that
each ant is acting for himself alome.
China "Called" Livingstone.
It is not generally known that Uf>
i ingstone originally had the intention j
of devoting himself to the work of "a
pioneer of Christianity In China." It j
was as such that ho offered -himself '
to the London Missionary society in
1837, but when he had received his j
diploma from the faculty of physicians
and surgeons in 1840, ho found China
closed to htm, as Groat Britain was
then at war with the country. It was
his meeting with Moffat, who had re
cently returned from South Africa,
that led his stops to the Dark Conti
nent.
HIS FIRST PUBLISHED WORK

More Cxquleite Pleasure.

Jumin Franklin In hie autobiography.
It was the second that appeared In
America uud waa called the New l?ng
Courant. The only one before i
It waa the Huston News letter. I ;
remember him being dissuaded by
aome of hla friend* from the under
taking uh not likely to euceeed, one
uewspuper being In their Judgment, ;
enough for America. At thla time !
(1771) there are uot leaa than five ai^l !
twenty, lie went ou, however, with
thp undertaking, and. after havlug
worked in compoalng the type* mid j
printing off the sheets, I waa eui
ployed to carry the paper* through
the streets to the customein,
He hud uome ingenious men among <
his friends, who amuaed themselves j
by writing little plecea for hla paper, j
which gaiued It credit and made It
more in demaud, and these gentleraeu
often visited ua. Hearing their con
versations and their accounts of the
approbation their papera were re
ceived with, I waa excited to try my
hand among them, but, belug atlll a
boy and suspecting that my brother
would objoct to printing anything of
mine in Uis paper If he knew It to
be mine, 1 contrived to diagulae my
hand and, writing an anonymoua pa
per, 1 put it at night under the door
of the printing houae. It waa found
In the morning and communicated to
fits Writing frlenda when they called
in aB usual. They read It, commented
on it in my hearing, and 1 bad th?
exquisite pleaaure of finding It met
with their approbation, and that, in
their different gueaaea at the author,
none were named but men of aome
character among ua for learning and
Ingenuity. I suppoao now that I Waa
rather lucky in my judgeB, and that
perhaps thoy were not really so very

MANY AND STRANGE DIALECTS
In Standardizing Her Language China
la Facing a Problem England
Has Not Yet Solved.
China wlllliave to start on a kind
of standardization of her language, as
we started, aerloualy, In the fourteenth
century. It lan't only a matter of
words and grammar; more. Important
still are construction and pronuncia
tion. Our English dialects are prob
ably an diverse aa any. Put a Cornish
mit\er and a Northumberland miner
together for the flrat time and each
would only have a faint glimmering
of the meaning of the other's speech.
What would the Cornishman tljnk of
"What mak' o' yan is aha?" He would
express the same meaning in "What
bo her like, then?" The ordinary Eng
lish, of course, Is "What is she like?" I
havo known a Londoner, fresh to the
fine Dorset dialect, completely bewil
dered by a farm laborer's talk; ho
could .only get a glint of meaning here
and there. ? London Chronicle.

Right and Left-Handedness.
At first, it has been contended, men
used both arms indifferently, and those
who when fighting pushed th? right
sido forward had tho advantage of
shielding their hearts and so lived to
produce descendants who inherited
their tendencies, lie thiB as it may,
there is no doubt that the two sides
of the brain have /different functions,
and right or left-handedneB*s 1b by no
means restricted to the arms alone.
One investigator was very often able
to recognize left-handedness by tho ex
amination of the left eye. The center
of speech is on the left side of the
brain of a right-handed person, and
on the right side of that of a left-hand
ed person. Children show unmistak
able evidence of two speech centers,
though one atrophies owing to the
preference given to ono hand. Never
theless, experiments show that it can
be successfully resuscitated. ? Knowl

Treatment for Nervous Child.
With highly strung children there is
a sad readiness to pick up nervous
tricks from their elders. Thus from
one he learns to stammer, while from
another he adopts various nervous
movements of the muscles of the face
or limbs. Such children need to be
well fed and kept as much as possible
in the open air, to lead a quiet life
without excitement, and without over
exercise of the brain. Above all, they
must bo kept as much as possible
away from those peoplo from whom
they seem to bo taking tho tricks of
nervousness.*.
