Princess Hassan Tells of a Meal and
Its Service in the Land of
True Epicures.
A typical French dinner—not an
excop; ional one, mark you bin such
a dinner as a small tradesman's fam
ily would have-—is incomparably su
per to the plain roast dinner.
There would be. first, of all, a few
"e res, according to the season of
th ear. Radishes, ice cold, sardines,
oli s caviar. Just a little of each i
wi' ' which to awaken the appetite, i
' <hf.: the soup to excite gently the
i 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 i
, with meat, sauce. Then, and not till
then, does the chief course appear.
It may be a roast, or game, or
chicken, or chops, but In no case will
it be anything which is not In har
j mony with the previous courses and it
will be eaten in moderation, for the
?dge of the diner's appetite will have
been dulled by the lighter foods which
have preceded It. With it comes the
j salad—varied throughout the year by
all the possible changes of the sea
i son. and never, never by any possi
bility will St be such a dreadful green
hybrid as the romahie, strawberry
j and green pepper thing. After the
salad there will be 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
i erward, no matter of what the din
! ner is composed.—Princess Hassan in
j an Interview by Louise Rice in the
j Delineator.
! GIVE THIS A LITTLE THOUGHT
; - |
I There Is a Point to This Importec
Joke, But Perhaps You Will Have
To Look for It.
This is not an American Joke. The
reader is solemnly warned that 11
Is oi' 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 hour?
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
bo young as he used to be, 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 j
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 1
Was it dark?"
“It was not, doctor," replied Cousin
Hugo with some asperity, "It was
light”
But perhaps you are not a beer
drinker.—New York Evening Post
Curing Wood.
Wood has contagious diseases! A
stick of wood in a lumber yard may be
sick 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
contagious that in a building they will
Jump several feet across masonry or
brick to some stick of healthy wood
Cures were recently discuseed 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 alwayB suc
cessful, tor ends of beams are burled
In the outer brick walls and the heat
may not reach them.—Saturday Eve

•ays Ants Do Not Co-Operate.
M. Cornets, a practised observer of
Insect life, asserts that ante know
nothing of co-operation in their soda)
life. In proof he cites an experiment
which any one can repeat. Offer an
•nt a piece of cheese shaped like a
shuttle; It seises the tip, tuns 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 more slowly.
There is no united effort; each ant
is trying to turn the crumb of cheese
aroand. If we chase off the ants on
the right the cheese will turn to th<
right, for -the other ants are pushing
it Chase off those on the left and 11
turns to the left for the same reason.
Chase off the one that is pulling it and
It stands still, for the ants on each side
counteract each other.
M. Cornetz holds this a proof that
each ant 1b acting for himself alone.
