“Beans are the soldiers’ mainstay,”
says Thomas P. 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.’ ”

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.

Napolean*« magic table ia one of
the greatest curiosities from the
time of the great emperor, who had it
in his study at the castle of St. Cloud.
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.

INVENTOR OF THE BATON.

Leader*« Wand.
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.

A BLIND GIRL’S POWER.
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.
