MANON
An Incident ot the Frerch
'Revolution.
On the outskirU of the little til
lage in which we lived itood an old
house, tenanted by such an old, old
man.
The house was old, but its tenant
much older. No one in the place
could remember him even as middle
aged. He had been old Niles to ev
erybody for years.
My brother and I, the youngest of
a very large family, were thrown
very much on our own resources,
and we admired and cultivated
Niles, for he had won our childish
hearts one Christmas by telling us a
grewsome story at supper, where, he
occupied tiie post ot honor at the
taDie a story so dreadful that we
were afraid to go to bed alone for
tne next three nights.
In that gentle and friendly com
munity Miles, by means of bis old
age and Infirmities, was a privileged
character.
People living in the great houses
around used to send him tidbits
from their own tables. Truth com'
pels me to relate that Niles did not
always receive these offerings with
gratitude. If the dish was not to
his taste, he would reject it with
contumely, andTthe mistress of the
houso advised by him to get new
cook. But Steena, our vook, be
loved of us children, bad found fa
vor in Niles' eyes. Her offerings
were never rejected by him; espe
cially an eel soup and an eel pie of
bers were welcome to his taste.
How well 1 remember the day on
which he told us the following tale.
the last, as it happened, we were
ever to hear from Niles' lips.
A day in June, i remember
it
was, full of sunshine and perfume
and the song of birds. Niles sat
out before his door on a bench, so
old and shrunken, shivering in the
hot sun and muttering, "The sun
does not warm one as it used to do,
but 1 am an old, old man.
He accepted, however, Steena
offering of a basin of soup, and
when he had swallowed it, to our
great delight, offered of his own ac
cord, to tell w a story. ' "Not he
added, "one of those foolish tales
of ghosts or fairies you children are
so fond of, but a true tale; one
lived through myself.
"It was lone. Ions? asro. You have
heard and read, have yon not, of the
French revolution, when blood now
ed like water in the streets of Paris
and Frenchmen chopped off the
heads of both king and queen? At
that time I was a dot in the service
Of a young Danish nobleman.
"How tired we erew of it all the
guillotine, the shriekingParia crowds,
who sang and danced and jeered
around while the tumbrels full of
thefr rjctittw were being dragged
iwaT to their death. But we were

A new facter that meat soon be tak

rapid extension of the electric traction

far more quickly aad agreeably than

obvious, therefore, that the electric

But tbe traction companies are not by

LOSSES IN COOKING MEATS.
Conoluolowo Drawn by 'Coverawent
Eaperto From Experiments.
Dietary investigations made by
government experts show that ot
the total food consumed by tho
average man in this country 20 per
cent is flesh, if that term is taken to
include not only meat, but also
poultry, fish and shellfish.
Incidentally a question studied
has had to do with the amount of
nutritive material lost in the cook
ing of meat That there is a low,
of course, is obvious enough, espe
cially where the material is boiled
and the water afterward thrown
away, but nothing has been known
on the subject until recently with
any degree of accuracy, and hence
the value of tbe government inves
tigation, which ought to have no
little interest for the American
housewife.
Here are some of the conclusions
drawn by the experts from their ex
periments: The chief loss in weight during
the cooking of beef is due to the
driving off of water. Lean beef will
low in this way aa much as 88 per
cent of its weight.
When beef is fried, there appears
to be no great low of nutritive ma
terial. When beef is cooked in water,
from 3 to 20 per cent of the total
solids are found in the broth. If
tbe broth is used for soup or other
wise, it is no low obviously.
Beet that has been used for a
ireparation of beef tea or broth haa
oat little of its nutritive value,
though much of the flavoring has
been removed.
Fat meat contains lew water pro
portionately and so shrinks less in
cooking. ' Other things being equal,
a small piece of meat cooked in wa ter
shrinks more relatively than a
large piece. Saturday Evening

Wat sounded the dogs would go
nosing about until they got into
Sheridan's tent when tbey would
rush upon their sleeping msster
and run their cold noses into the
sleeping bag. It had the effect of
an electrical bath on "Little Phil,"
and the language he used was ex
ceedingly free. The mercury in hie
tent would go up about 4Q degrees
when he cut. loose, and the dogs
would rush growling down the camp
street while Beim would lie there
and laugh. Harrisburg Telegraph.

Do animals weep? Explorers My
they do. , Lady Burton Mys that
she has seen borsw in the Syrian
desert cry from thirst a mule cry
from pain ox an injured loot and a
camel shed tears in stream. Gor
don Cumming dec lures that he has
observed tears in the eyes of a dying
elephant and Dr. Livingstone used
to hsve a pet ape which cried when
tbe explorer would not take it in bis
arms. Wounded apes hsve, died
crying, and apes have wept over
their young ones slain by hunters.
Bes lions are Mid to cry for the l
of their young, and a giraffe which
bad been injured by tne rifle of a
hunter began to cry. Another ex
plorer tells of a chimpantee which
had been trained, to carry water
!ugs. Jt let one fall and break and
n its sorrow set a-erying. There
seems to be little doubt that animals
do sometimes err f row pain,' sorrow
or annoyance; put aa a rule, we
cannot catch the watchdog in tears

' Cutting Them Dewn.
A London man recently ordered
a pair of trousers from hia tailor.
On trying them on they proved to
be several inches too long. It being
late on Saturday night the tailors
shop was closed, so the man took
the trousers to his wife and asked
hey to cat six inchw off and hem
them over. The good lady, whow
dinner had perhaps diMgreed, with
hef, brusquely refused.
' The same result followed' an ap
pUoatsen to the wife's sisWand the
eldest daughter. But before bed
time the wife, relenting, took the
pants and, cutting six inches from
the legs, hemmed them up nicely
and returned them to the closet '--
Half an hour later her daughter,
taken with compunction for her un
fil'ial conduct, took the trousers, cut
off sit inches, then hemmed and re-
C laced them. Finally the tisteHn
iw fait the pange of conscience,
and she, too, peiormed an addition

When the poor fellow appeared
at breakfast on Sunday, tbe family
thought a highland ehieftein bad
