These marks are well known by the salesmen, and the almost invisible mystic sign explains why an article, wholly unsuitable, is foisted on the jaded customer as ‘‘just the thing.” —The largest beer barrel ever made in the world is the attraction of a St. Louis saloon. It is twenty-three feet high, twenty-two feet wide, and has a capacity of 54,400 gallons, or 1,700 ordin- ary beer barrels. A dining table is set up in the interior of the barrel, and many people have enjoyed the novelty of taking their luncheon in the big barrel. It was made in St. Louis ten years ago. —In gratitude for their recent déliver- ence from the perils of the voyage in the Inman liner City of Paris, the passen- gers, before landing, subscribed £600 as a thank offering and appointed a com- mittee to decide upon its application. It is understood that the committee have decided to hand over £400 to the Seamen’s Hospital, Liverpool, for its general purposes, and to endow with the balance a bed in the same institu- tion for sick American sailors. —The experiment of constructing a large building chiefly of paper has been successfully made at Hamburg, Ger- many, where an immense hotel, with its facade and other important parts com- posed of that material has been erected. It is claimed that the building is abso- lutely fire-proof and.also impervious to the action of the elements which render brick, stone or wood unsightly or unsafe under prolonged exposure. —Charles Lamb had a horror of no- toriety, and of being “lectured” in pub- lic places. Impertinence or offensive interference of any sort he could not brook. An overbearing head of adepart- mentinthe East India House approached him one day, when Lamb was busily en- gaged, with the Paul Pry question, “Pray, Mr. Lamb, what are you about?” “Forty next birthday,” he replied. “I don’t like your answer,” said the man. “Nor I your question,” was Lamb’s re- joinder. —The age of the high hat is under in- vestigation. A correspondent writing to the Mainzer Journal says: ‘Among the marginal illustrations, by Albrecht Durer, of the famous prayer book of the Emperor Maximilian, there is a man wearing a high hat, and in a book of crests and escutcheous of Josi Ammann, published in 1589, a high hat forms the crest of a nobleman. Had these hats not been worn at the period, great art- ists like Durer and Ammana would certainly not have painted such misera- bly ugly things, which are the most un- sightly pieces of furniture the world has ever seen.” —Mrs. John G. Curtis, of New York, is the founder of one of the most remarka- ble orchestras in existence. It is com- posed of men and womon, girls and boys, gathered from poor families. The few who can aford it pay a small fee. Theodore John, formerly conductor of the city orchestra of Freiburg, has trained the performers so thoroughly that at the end of three years many of his pupils are able to take places as pro- fessional performers. Mrs. Curtis’ draw- ing room is their practicing hall, and, at her desire, they play occasionally in public for charities. —Itis seldom that the trivial causes which lead to the overthrow of thrones receives so clear an illustration as the following statement by ex-King Thee- baw, of Burmah: “My late father, the royal Mindoon Min, the golden-footed lord of the white elephant, master of a thousand gold umbrellas, owner of the royal peacocks, lord of the sea and of the world, whose face was like the sun, al- ways smoked the Esoof cheroot while meditating on his treatment of the bull- faced, earth-swallowing English. Had I done the same I should never have left my throne, but I used the opium-drugged cheroot from Manila, and the trash so- lace was sent me from San Francisco, and I fell.”—Chicago Journal. EMMA ABBOTT'S WEALTH. The Snug Fortune Acquired by the Ambi- tions American Songstress. Few American songstresses, says a New York paper, can prove the substan- tial success that is the lot of Emma Ab- bott. She is an example of the pluck and perseverance of the American girl. At the age of eighteen she was a soprano in Dr. Chapin’s church in New York and known to the communicants asa very pleasing singer; and an operatic future she had never believed possible, but through the interest of friends she was induced to go to Paris and complete her studies. She was even at that time the betrothed wife of Eugene Wetherell. He urged her to accept the proposition and she went abroad and studied with such ardor that she inside of a year had completely lost her voice through over- work, but by eareful medical attention she was enabled to regain her former vocal capabilities, and returned to this country, where she was introduced to C. D. Hess, and a coalition was formed by Wetherell, Hess and Miss Abbott to star the latter with the Hess English Opera Company. Last Saturday she walked into the Treasury Department at Washington with an ordinary package of brown paper, about eighteen inches thick, carried carelessly in her hand. ' General Rosecrans had one of the clerks ' examine the package, and it was found | to be $135,000 in Government four per | cent. bonds. Miss Abbott had brought them to have them registered. This | mount represents the partial profits of her stage career, and it is safe tosay | that no other prima donna can match , Miss Abbott in wealth, with the excep- tion of Adelina Patti. ' | | i JUDICIAL TORTURE. Some of the More Common Forms of Cruel- ty Practiced in China. Suspension of the victim by the thumbs, with the arms bent behind the back | and the toes touching the ground. is a common practice. There is used also in the case of great criminals, and espe- cially in the southern provinces, a mode of torture called ‘“‘kneeling on chains.” The victim may be made to kneel ‘ona coil of sharp chain, with his arms ex- tenced, and a lictor standing ready to flog him if he lower them; or he may be suspended frcm the ceiling, face down- ward, by acord attached to his thumbs and great toes, and lowered till the weight of the body rests on the knees on the chain. Quite recently, according toaChinese newspaper, two men charged with belonging to asecret association in Hupeh were made to knee] on sharp chains and seceived 1,000 blows with the light bamboo to elicit confession. There had been, apparently, some indications of a local disturbance, and these men were arrested as ringleaders. Suspen- sion, too, by one wrist and ankle; sus- pension by a pole passed under the arm- pit, with the hands tied under the knees, and various other cruelties are said to be practiced occasionally in the south- ern yamens. Yet there are, in the penal code, stringentsprovisions against the infliction of illegal punishment; and the penalty, if death ensue, is severe. A mandarin has quite recently, for in- stance, come to serious grief for decapi- tating aman where the law called for strangulation; the point being that dis- memberment of the body is a disgrace, and was in excess therefore, of the legal sentence. But it may easily be con- ceived that in the matter of torture, and in all ordinary cases, the following provision in section 413 of the Chinese law is sufficiently elastic to shield a multitude of delinquencies: “When it so happens that, immediately after the infliction of punishment on the upper part of the back of the thighs, and in a lawful man- ner, the culprit commits suicide or dies in any manner in consequence of the punishment he had underzone, no person shall be held re- sponsible for the same.” Unless a case had been so glaring as to excite the whole neighborhood—and the Chinese are not easily moved— means would be found to hush up or ex- plain away improprieties. The power and venality of official underlings, the general prevalence of bribery, the difficulties attending appeals, and the absence of that publicity which renders illegality practically fmpossible in En- gland, make it very difficult to secure the correction of injustice in China. Cases do, however, occasionally happen; and one such was recorded in the Peking Gazette last September. A draper at a small town in Central China found in the morning that his shop had been plundered. Going out to prospect, he found some bits of cloth on the river bank and a little further up a junk at anchor. He then seems to have stretched a point, declared that he had found the cloth on the junk, and so procured the arrest of allon board. The magistrate forthwith employed torture—tortured the crew into admitting themselves ac- cessories, and tortured to death the two men, father and son, who had chartered the boat. When the case came before the chief provincial authorities on re- port, they considered it so unsatisfac- tory that they sentenced the draper to be strangled for giving malicions false evidence resuiting in the death of the accused, and the magistrate to be cash- iered and banished for carelessness and illegal torture.—Fortnightly Review, INEXPENSIVE CUTS. How to Produce Appetizing Dishes from Cheap Pieces of Meat. It is not a difficult matter to obtain a satisfactory dish of meat from a prime cut, but it requires the supreme skill of the cook to take a piece of beef shin or a neck piece of veal or mutton and pro- duce a tender, appetizing stew. It is in the use of what are termed “inferior” cuts or meat that the French cook ex- cels. There is much more nourishment in some of these cuts—notably in the neck piece of* mutton or veal—than in some prime cuts like the French filet of beef or the tenderloin. A piece of meat through which the blood of the animal circulates freely is more wholesome and contains more nourishment, though it is tougher and requires more time to cook than a tender piece that lays inside, like the tenderloin. The stew, or broth,of the Scotch, which they make from the neck of mutton, is adish that has justly acquired world-wide fame. It requires time and patience to cut up a neck of mutton and reject every scrap of fat, and separate the bones and lean, and cook them in separate dishes; but the result is the most delicious broth that can be made. A breast of mutton is a difficult piece to dispose of, but if carefully trimmod and boiled in salted water till tender, the bones may be removed and a rich force- meat prepared and spread on: the meat, and acompact roll made. This is now dipped in egg and rolled in sifted bread crumbs and browned in the oven. Serve it with an acid jelly like barberry, cur- rant or damson plum. The chunk of meat which forms the “tough” end of the porterhouse has acquired its odium because it iscut the wrong way of the grain. If itis cut across the grain in small steaks it will be found tender and excellent. There is another piece of meat which lies in the forequarter, which butchers sometimes include, we believe, in their chuck roasts, It is the cross rib. It is an inexpensive piece, but when cut properly it is an excellent piece, as rich in meat juice and nour- ishment as a rib roast, though possibly not quite as fine in flavor. The best pieces of veal for potpies are the neck and shoulder pieces. There is no part of veal that may not be made tender and delicious by proper cooking.—N. Y. Tribune. Proof Positive.

Loxpox, July 3.—All indications point to a determined effort, led bv Mr. Howard Vincent, in the British parliament, to discriminate against United States exports in retaliation for the McKinley tariff bill. The government, however, has so much important business on its list that it is uulikely that such 2 measure, in- volving a radical departure from the free trade principles of half a cen- tury, would receive serious consid- eration during the present session. In France, however, the adoption of retaliatory measures is cartain as MR. J.
