Dillon, a retired Unit ed States cavalry officer, according to the Philadelphia Record. “The Amer ican soldier, at a pinch, can equal the performance of an Arab on a handful of dried date»—he can ride and fight all day on a mere handful of beaus, properly prepared. There is nothing tn equal the army baked bean. Your celebrated ’Boston baked’ are but a poor imitation of the succulent articli turned out by a regular army cook. There’s an art in cooking them that no body but an army man can ever ac quire. I’ve been on service when for a week at a lime our menu consisted of beans for breakfast, beans for dinner and beans fur supper; and did the troopers tire of the monotony? Not a bit of it. They sang for more, and in spite of hard work and lack of variety at mess tJie fellows actually got fa.. That demonstated to me the nutritive quality of beans, and I made h a point to get into the good graces of the cook and learn how to bake them. It isn’t such an elaborate proc ess. but there’« a trick in doing it right. My friends are all fond of beans the way I cook them, and many a time I’ve been asked for the recipe, but that’s a thing I don’t give away to everyone. You see, people enjoy a dish all the better when they know it’s something that not everybody can get up. It might take some of the zest away if they could say of my beans: T know how to make them.’ ” KNOWLEDGE WAS POWER. How Familiarity with th« Chiara« Lasgaage Mad« a Woma» a Count«««. One of the unmarried women in dip lomatic circles at Washington is Countess Marguerite Cassini, the ac complished niece of the Russian am bassador, who is a countess in her own right, not by heredity, but by spe cial grace of the czar, and a curious story is told of the manner in which she won her title. It was when Coitot Cassini had his fatefulconfereaceAwith Li Hung Chang at Peking, long before the Boxer trouble. The count’s inter preter vs as av. ,.y. for Li’s call was un expected, and as the Chinese states man could not speak Russian and the Russian diplomat did not understand Chinese the conference can.e to a deadlock. The count’s nieee. who had picked up something of the language, stepped into the breach and the affair was arranged to the satisfaction of both parties. The Chinese empress loaded her with presents, the czar’s government made a note of the service performed, and when there was a question a couple of years ago of the young lady’s precedence at Washing ton, where the count was then ambas sador, the czar himself counfounded her rivals by making her a oountess. This was something like rapid promo tion for the lady. v, W ash ., N ov . 23—Fire almost wiped out a business block of Elma this morning, inflicting a loss of nearly |75, • 000.

After the death of Napoleon it was bought in London by Baron Rehau sen, Sw.uiish ambassador to the court of St. James at that time. It is now owned through inheritance by one of the foreinoat families of the Swed ish nobility, says the Strand Maga zine. Inside the drawer of the table is pasted an old slip on which ia printed a description, which in mod ernized English reads as follows: “The Emperor Napoleon was highly de lighted with this extraordinary work of art. It formed the surface of one of the tables in his study, and was always show'n to all foreigners of dis- tinction who visited the imperial court. It is a painting whose resem- blance to what it represents is the most elusive ever produced by the genius of man. One may look at this strange production of art in differ ent lights—the pieces of money, the fragments of broken glass, the pen knife, water and cards retain an equally illusive appearance as the ob server moves round the table—but it requires a very minute examination to discover all the truly magical won ders it possesses.” In these times when relics of Napoleon I. are eager ly Bought for, the present where abouts of this masterpiece should cer tainly interest all connoisseur«. Interesting ruins which point to the existence of a buried city have been faund in the woods of C'harbon- nierre, near the chateau of that name, some miles distant from Or leans. Two tombs composed of mon olith stones, in one of which the re mains of a skeleton were reposing, have been found under ancient oaks. They were at a depth of 30 centi meters below the soil. It is esti mated from the nature of the stones, their dimensions and form, that the tombs date from the sixth, sevauth or eighth century. According to a local tradition on this site, which was formerly crossed by a great Roman way, many cen turies ago an important city stood, of which the ruins still exist, though crowded and crushed under the earth long ago by wood cutters and exca- vators. This tradition attributes to this buried city the name of Sergy. It is probable that these tombs are not the only relics in this place, and that a well-condudcted search would re veal an entire cemetery, whose ex tent would give an idea of the impor tance of the buried city. SECOND-HAND FOOD BARRED. There is a wealthy young woman living in Philadelphia, says the Times, who ha« the misfortune to be blind. When traveling as a young girl she contracted Roman fever in Italy and lost her sight. She is the only living member of her immediate family now, and occupies a handsome house in the residence part of the city. She has a companion who seldom leaves her, but the ability she shows for conducting her own affairs in spite of her misfor tune is wonderful. Her remaining senses are marvelously acute, and it seems to people who are not well ac quainted with her almost uncanny her cognizance of everything going on around her. On one occasion recently, when her companion was away at din ner time, the butler, either by intent or carelessness, failed to place flowers on the dining table, according to his custom. If he expected to evade the duty he was mistaken. The mistress of the house had hardly entered the dining-room when she discovered the omission. “James.” she said, “you have forgotten the flowers to-night.” L«avinp« of Rich Men’« Banquet« Must Not Be Eaten by the Poor of Paris. “What is one man’s meat is another’s poison” is a proverb just now born« out in literal fact by the police raid upon the areJquins of Paris, reports a London paper. The arelquins are the keepers of ^small restaurants at the market, whose supplies are provided from the broken remains of repasts at different fash ionable restaurants. The proprietor takes each morning a tour of the fashionable quarters and by paying a small amount to different ma it res d’hotel he has the privilege of selecting a menu for his house from what is left of a swell dinner the day before. This he serves up to his cus tomers for two cents and the latter have the privilege of eating what the aristocrats had set before them. The elegance of the course«, how ever, is outweighed by their unwhole some effects. So many maladies are laid at the door of these second-hand feastr that the police have undertaken to protect the public stomach from pos sible indiscretions. The arelquins will soon be a picturesque feature of the past, for as their licenses expire thej will fade from existence. MODERN SURGERY.

The inventor of the baton has been discovered. According to the investi gation» of a Frenchman the credit be longs to Lully, the composer, who eventually had cause to regret his in vention. Before he adopted the baton, con ductors were in the habit of pounding on the floor with their feet orclapping their hanas to mark the time. Lulij found it wearisome to keep his foot constantly in motion, and so used a ■ tick to strike the floor and beat time He used a pole six feet long. One day he brought down the pole with such force that it struck his foot and made a deep wound. He paid no attention to the matter, 'rhe wound grew worse and ultimately caused his death. After his time conductors tried more and mop to improve the baton and it was ultimately brought to its present form. Tall Mea In lndlaaa. A record of the height of Indiana soldier* in the civil war shows that out of 116.254 there were 15,047 5 feet 10 finch«« high. 6.706 5 feet 11 inches. 6.679 6 feet high, 2,614 6 feet 1 Inch. 1.357 4 fret two inchea. 4Ofi 6 feet 3 inches, and 336 over 6 feet 3 inchea Commenting on these «tan« ties.

IT IS KNOWN AS SOLANIN1. Chemical examination ha« revealed the fa-t that a poisonous alkaloid known as solanine is contained in po tatoes. Little of this poison is found in new potatoes, but even fresh po tatoes which have grown about the surface of the soil and have a green skin Are generally known to be poi sonous, says a scientific authority. When potatoes art kept a long time they contain a large amount of this poison, and many cases of serious poisoning have occurred in late sum mer from eating »Id potatoes. About ten yeers ago many soldiers in the German army were ill from an un known cause. lh'*v suffered with headache, colic, diarrhea, vomiting, weakness and slight stupor, and in some cases dilation of the pupils. The matter was investigated ami it was discovered that the men had been eating potatoes which had been kept for a long time in u dam / place until lhey Irad begun to sprbut. These potatoes, a chemical analysis showed contained as much solaniue as is found in new potatoes. HAD A CHINESE NAME.
