OF WHICH THE GREAT MILLION AIRES ARE VERY FOND. ay Conld's French Cook Cyrus V. Flrltl Toad of CulrkrnKnurll isso Mkes Crullan-D.' O. M11U lufittuated With Antelope Steak. The habits of men who have teen luckv enoii"!i or successful enough to mako a mil lion uoniirs or over are always a matter of interest to their less fortunnte follow citit-ns. That is w hy a reporter started out tuo oilier r.av to dud out what millionaires eat Most people havo an idea that the ninjoritv of millionaires dine ou some kind of extraor dinary food of which the usual run of men know nothing about. This fidlaey was ex posed ty the reporter's Informants, and it seems that millionaires eat pretty much the same kind of food as do people who haven't so much money, but who probably have more apatite. As a rulo millionaires do not care to tell just what they eat, but tho biggest millionaire of them all, Mr. Jay Oould, has no such scru ples. Without hesitation Mr. Oould informed tho reporter that ho was an alwtemious diner and had no desiro for extraordinary dishes. JIR. OOCLB'8 FRENCH COOK. "I keep a French cook," said Mr. Gould, "who has been with me for years, but ho is not required to exert his ingenuity in getting up novelties for the palate." "Whnt do you usually have for breakfast I" asked tho reporter. "I usually ent an orange as a starter," re plied Mr. Gould, "and I am very fond of a idee Kirtei houso steak, an egg omelet cooked in a manner peculiar to my French chef, hot rolls, coffee nnd any littlo kuickknacks now in tho market" "And for luuehT "Oh, I eat very sparingly for lunch. Some times I go up on the top lloor of tho Western Union building and havo some deviled crabs, of which I am fond, or u slice of cold roast liecf. lliinwr is my principal meal. 1 man ago to worry through seven courses every evening ut alxnit 7 o'clock. One .f mv favor ite dishes is roast turkey. I drink smil ingly of claret and seldom touch any other wine." Mr. Gould's bright eyes, healthy complex ion and springy step lienr evidence to the fact that ho knows just whut to cat in order to keep iu good physical condition. Cyras V. Field is probably the liest liver among New York Millionaire. As a result of this, Mr. Field is becoming lomewhat stout, his face is growing mora florid, und it Is easily seen that he is a man who likes u good dinner. Mr. Field's breakfast is a simple meal, bow ever. Ho is verv fond of mill: hihI drinks a good deal of it. Fruits of all kinds uro always on Lis breakfast table. .Vr. field reaches his down town ollh-e ut 10 o'clock each morning. At 1 o'clock he visils tho restaurant oil the top of bis grand building. "Mr. Field is a ws-iablo man and usually has n couple of friends nt lunch with him," aid the proprietor of tho restaurant yester day. "Ho usually orders a broiled chicken for lunch and mviiis never to the of tho dL-h. With a hottlu of Madeira at his elbow he cull talk und joke through a live course lunch with euse. i'rohably owing to Mr. Field's English iuclinaliona ho has a inmchunt for underdone roust lioef. A PIECE OF PIK. To counteract this Mr. Field's New Eng land ancestry conies to the fore, nnd ho rarely leaves either tho lunch or dinner table without testing the merits of a piece of pie, Mr. Field's dinner is always an elaborate affair. His fcu.ots are numerous, and the menu contain everything thnt the most par ticular palate can desire. Ono of Mr. Field's favorite ill-lies is mock turtle soup. Ho has been known to eat throe plutes of this deli cacy liefore settling down to the more solid delights of a bill of fare. The most sparing and economical of the millionaires m regard to diet is Kussell Sago. His breakfast consists of a bowl of oatmeal uud milk, two slices of bread and a cup of tea. Winter or summer, Mr. Sago never varies in this respect. For lunch ho some times buys two crullers from old "Kuly," who ketiai a lunch stand in front of Mr. Suge's ofllce, but more frequently a one cent apple sufllees the cravings of his appetite. At dinner Mr. Suge is equally abstemious. He is a great lover of (lsh, esjiecially of fresh million, und is extravagant only on this point Plain roast or mutton, topped off by broad pudding or a banana, completes tho diuncr of the millionaire. Austin Corbin, the Long Island railroad magnate, is a good liver. His favorite dish is roast partridge, aud it is said that ho has several Long Islanders always on tho lookout for these flue birds. Ernstus Wiman enjoys the good things of life, too. lie has a big reputation ns a most lordly bftst, and au invitation to a dinner at his Staten Island home is eagerly sought for. Mr. Wiman learned to like moose meat while living in Canada, and ho frequently treats his guests to the tender but rather strong food. D. 6. Mills eats plain food and likes it. When in California be liecamo infatuated with niitelopo steak and frequently receives the carcase of one of these animals from hLi western friends. Then ho invites a few friends nnd surprises them with tho rare aud jiahitable prairie product. Now York Journal. Under a flag of Trure. One incident related by Gen. Averell was this: He was on duty with Col. Porter's com mand nt Manassas atfer tho fli-st Bull Bun. Ono day the colonel and ttnff, with n squad ron of cavalry, wont out beyond tho pickets to reconnoiter, when they saw an equal body of horsemen in Confederate gray approachuig from an opiiosite direction. Cob I'oi-ter gave tho order to charge, when tho o'.ber body displayed a flag of truce. The leader of the Confederates said to Gen. Averell, who went forward to meet him, "I am Col. Taylor, of tho Confederate States army, and am tho bearer of dispatches from President Davis of the Confederate States to President Lincoln of tho Cuited states." The dispatches were received nnd forwarded to Washington, when Col. Taylor said, "This ends our oiiicial inter view." Then the two opposing forces were sm prised to see Cola. Porter and Taylor em bracing each other, with the exclamations: "Andy, old boy!" "Tom, old fellow, how are you!" A flask of old rye was fished out and .ha two comrades fraternized. They Lad hoen chums at West Point. The distehes proposed an exchange of prisoners, and were returned by President Lincoln with thoin doisenient that the United Btates declined to is-ingni) tho south as belligerents. Alabama Journal.

What Wna Klprcted of It Ursn.im Why It lulled to lleeum I'opular, 8ix years havo passed since the revised ver sion of the New Testament was given to th English sjirakiiig world. For almost a do rado attention had lieen directed tolhs place where the scholars in charge of tho great un dertaking Wei's pursuing their work. It completion was regarded as an epoch in re ligion! history. Many believed that million would lie interested in the new version who bad never carefully studio 1 tho oM Some thought that it would result iu a general re vival of religion. The translation wosalmost universally commended by biblical scholars uud theologians. Great praise was bestowed ou the men w ho wore so long engagnd on the ditUcult work. Large sums were offered for early copies. The number sold during a few mouths was enormous. Hut the revised torsion failed to supersede the old one. It has never Wen syinHlienlly approved by the established Church of Eng land that took the initiative in its produc tion. It has nerer Uvn formally adopt.il by any Protestant denomination for use in churches and Suiu'ay schools. It is rarely read nt family demotions. Few writers or sHakein, Uy or clerical, quote it. It may almost In' said to have passed out of sight and mind. Why was it doomed to such a failurel Mr. John Fulton undertakes to answer the question ill tho current nunilier of Tho Forum. The reasons he assigns are that too many changes w ere introduced to suit some and not enough to satisfy others. Ho also thinks that the ootry of many assiigos was inquired by giving them a too literal transla tion. A certain degree of obscurity serves to give a charm to the expression of vtical sentiments. No one is pleased with a likened of a M'rson made by measuring his feature? and reducing them to a certain scale. These things may have had something to do with preventing, the new version from lie coming iwpuhir. Hut otvicisly other causes contributed to its failure. Persons who are radical or progressive on oilier matter are apt to be very conservative ou everything that pertains to religion. Then a certain von eratio'.i attaches to the authorized 1eiiono( King James as well as to tho subject matter itself. In every hou-chold the old family bible, iu which are recorded the births, mar riages, sad deaths of several generations, is a Uncrrd hook. If neglected lit other linn's, it is rend on occasions of nlllict ion audiidvcrsily. Consolation is sought from it. The noblest sentiments cluster around it. Thousands of passages from tho old or es tablished version have been Incorporated into the classic literntureof the language, and they cannot Iw revised. Still more passages have b;-on engraved on tonilistonex, nnd nono but a vandal Jiand would erase them, for to do so would be a sacrilege. Old and wi ll loved hymns almond in phrases taken from the old version, and they cannot l changed to con form to the new translation without destroy ing their melody. Tho old version must re main, for it exists in ninny forms. It will only go out of use w hen tho English language censes to lie sjiokeii. It w ill live and help pre serve tho fcrco and vigor of tho lunguuuge of liberty. Chicago Times. A Story of tieiii-ge Su nil.
