f DINED ON JACKALS. But Thar* W.« Other Food the Arab. Simply W.uld Not tat. Describing the Moliammedans of Algeria in his book, "The Barburj- Count'’ Albert Edwards says be discovered that with the exception of the obvious difference In clothing they seemed to be very much like other men. although “they do not cure for the sain, things —nt least not for the same reasons.” Os this he hud u striking example during his first winter in Algeria: "I bad naked Sty host about the jackals which bowled the night through in the brousse nlsmt his home. I was curious to know how much they resembled the coyotes of our western plains. A few days later he called me from my desk with the news that some of Ids Arab workmen had trapped a jackal. I followed him out Into the patio and found a half dozen natives squatted about an earthen pot. Two of them were holding the animal while another skinned it. A jackal looks like nothing but a very sick and mangy dog. I can not imagine anything less appetizing. I was surprised and rather nauseated to see that the men were pretmring the beast for cooking , ’’ ’Do the natives ent these things?' I disgustedly asked my host in French. "The man who seemed to be the chief cook understood the language of the conquerors. He looked up surlily. “ ‘Yes,’ he growled, ‘but we don't ent “I thought of onr slaughter house scandals and the doubtful cleanliness of our food supply and felt very much like tbe owner of a glass house wbo had thoughtlessly begun to throw stones." IVORY CARVING IN CHINA. Only Six Expert Worker. In Forty Shop. In Canton. There are in Canton about forty shops which make and sell ivory articles. Each store is small, consist!' J usually of a showroom open to tbe street and n back mom. where the cutting is done. Members of the store also usually work in tbe showroom. Tlte Industry may be divided Into two ) stages, cutting and carving. Tusks imported from Siam constitute tbe raw material. These are first cut with a saw to the stia[>e capable of being worked up by carving. The cutting apparatus consists of a wooden block or vise, a saw and a tub of water. The ivory is secured firmly by the vise, moistened with water and cut to the required shape. | Perfectly tint pieces of ivory nearly ns thin a. paper were shown in evi- ' denee of the skill of the cutter. The cutting finished, the blocks are then carved into shape with knives of many different shapes. These have a .bort blnde and a long handle made of bomlioo, like a penholder. Other instruments noted to be In use t»y the carvers were wire saws and a gimlet work cd by a leather twirling apparatus. The number of expert workers in Canton is tar less than the number of stores, being only nbont six in ntiml>er. ' An expert carver seldom works in the shop which employs him. He generally , works in ids own house* aud can earn nbont S3O Canton currency a month.— Consular lieports. Lapping Up the Land. Aldeburgh, which annually bolds Its feast of sprats, has run considerable risk in recent years of providing a feast for the sprats themselves. Fierce gales in the eighties aud nineties did very great damage and almost completed the ruin liegun by the sea that swallowed up ancient Dunwlch. At omtime the land went a quarter of a mile farther out to sea, aud au old map preserved in tbe venerable Moot hall shows tliat the church had at least ten times more land toward the sea than It ha. now. Tbe market place nnd the cross are among the trifles which the wt ha. stolen, while tn 17W eleven hous«*s disappeared. The arms of tbe borough were selected with some wn.e of humor. "A ship in tbe waves of the sea. all sayles bear luge "—London Chronicle. Police In Old Glasgow. In the eighteenth century the whole Mfety and order of Glasgow. Scotland, were intrusted to the unpaid and relnc tant burghers Every citizen who was lietween the years of eighteen and sixty and |«M a yearly rent amount Ing to sls had to take his turn at guarding the city. "On touch of drum." says the writer, “the gentleman was at hi. poat at l<» at night and etrolled with weary trend nnd yawning gait along the Truncate and High street and up the pitch dark lanes of winter nights till 4 in the morning After that hour the cMj was without a police."

TALKING AT DINNER. i A Chinese Suggestion That One Person Should Do It All. As a rule, u dinner conversation is seldom worth remembering, which is n pity. Man. the most sensible of .-ill animals, more readily leans to nonsense than to rational discourse. Perhaps the flow of words may be as steady as tbe eastward flow of the Yangtzeklang in my own country, but the memory remains only a recollection of u vague, undetined—what? The ' conversation, like the flavors provided by the cooks, has been evanescent. Wliy should m>t hostesses make ns much effort to stimulate the minds of their guests as they do to gratify their palates? Wliat a boon it would be to many a bashful man sitting next to a woman with whom he lias nothing in common if some public entertainer during the dinner relieved him from the necessity of always thinking as to what he should nay next! How much ' more bo could enjoy the tine dinners his hostess has provided—and as for the woman, what u number of suppressed yawns she might avoid! To take great pains and spend large sums to provide tastv food for people who cannot enjoy It because they have to talk to one another seems a pity. Let one man talk to tbe crowd and leave them leisure to eat is my suggestion.— Wu Ting Fang. Lite Chinese Minister to United States, in Harper's Monthly. CLOVE APPLES. Spicy Odo-ed Ornament. That Were Once Quite Common. The manufacture of clove apples, common in the days of our grandmothers. is very simple. You can take an npple. tbe rounder and sounder and bigger the better, and into it stick cloves ns thickly as t-x.-ible, with only the heads showing and forming a dose continuous surface all over. Put it in a drawer or on a mantelpiece or whatnot, and time will do the rest. The clove npple becomes dry and curiously hard, maintains its form perfectly ami acquires an approximation ' of immortality—if carefully protected, of course, from accidents and children. Tbe latter, if memory serves, were wont to annoy tbe grandmothers of clove apple days by decapitating the cloves or, if especially mischievous, by ' working nt one of them till it came out whole. Either achievement, when dis covered. as it alwajis was soon, caused 1 indignant oratory always aud “wrong stories” not infrequently. The exact purpose of the clove apple, whether it was valued as a curio - or ns tbe source of a pleasant, spiey odor, the present commentator does not remember, if lie ever knew, in value, however, ft ranked well up with the shells brought from foreign strands by seafaring husbands and sons, and ladh were about equally durable.—NewYork Times. A Busy Man. A customer of a large downtown tailoring establishment was getting service out of a suit of clothe* lie had not paid for. statement after statement was sent to tbe customer and finally a letter informing the man that unless be paid ins bill the matter would be put iu tbe bands of tbe comfeny's attorney. That awakened tbe cMtomer. He hastened to the store nnd demanded to see the bead of the company. He asserted tbe only reason for not paying tbe bill was that he had been so busy with other at fair* .hut he hud overlooked bis debt to the tailoring company. "Why, see here.’’ he emphatically told the president of the company, "just to show you how busy 1 have been I brought this telegram along- 1 got that telegram day before yesterday, but I haven’t had time to open it jat"—Minm*ai>oH» News.
