peripatetic kitchen presents a busy scent aglow with life and light and onioni Everything is done according to a carefully prepared syetem and for this reason there is no hitch in the culinary activity even sbonld the cook be overwhelmed with orders which he sometimes is On a broad shelf extending along the open side of the wagonisdisplayed tbe chopped beef and onions for the Rambures which seem to bo a specialty around he entire Circuit This item is arrange in tbe most tempting manner possible The meat is neaped up on a platter in the shape of a parallelopiptd with rounded corners A small parsley hedge growing along the top of tbe truss like tuft grass on asand dune gives tbe whole a Frenctiy aspect whic cannot fail to please But it is in decorating the perpendiculars ot his chopped beef exhibit tbat the chef shows great originality of design The fancy work is all done with raw onions sliced and fashioned into stars and crescents diamonds circles rhomboids and rectangle and sometimes the symbol of the secret society to which the artist belongs These mosaics in white when stuck into tbe blood red background of Chopped beef produce a novel effect and one whieh lingers too with those who patronize art in this form A deep bowl of hashed onion keeps company with the beef on the front shelf At the back of tbe wagon is another shelf containing a platter ot sliced bam and a box of eggs There is also a paper roll here for the accommodation of the luxuriously Inclined who send out for their sandwiches In the rear end ot the cart is the bread shelf the front portion being ocenpted by the range This is a gasoline stove with three jets so that the entire repertoire ham and eggs ham and Hamburg may be cooked simultaneously Tbe chef is dressed like those spotless individuals who fry cakes in front windows lie realizes that his position is one of much prominence and that to appear in overalls and a gunny sack apron would mean ruin It issurprisinz tbe amount ol business a sandwich chariot will do in a night Sixty pounds of steak and onion besides ibe other items have been disposed of in a single seance from 9 urrtil 3 a One younz man who can do the iry King pan flop with th hands at he tame time saiu mat on i ourtn ot juiv night he sold 200 Hamburg steak pancl wiches in addition to a phenomenal run on bam and ecus However the street caterer always does well on the iourth and other hoitanys as it is on those occasions that tbe public spirited citizen feels constrained todo ail the eating be possibly can in the open air The sandwiches are 10 cents each and quite profitable at that which accounts for the number of people investing in wagons and onions Patrons as a rule are people who wander about the streets for want of something better to do The news and messenger boys ire good customers end the young men who make the rounds of the Deer halls take their late suppers at a wagon Sonr and dance teams belated politicians and bunco steerers

yesterday afternoon at 3 oclock at tbe bottom Of a 300 foot shaft in the Little Jessie mine says the Prescott Journal Miner which he never wants to go through again and which no other miner would care to experience His escape from instant death seems little short of a miracle He was engaged with a companion in putting in four blasts and when the work was completed bis companion climbed up a rope to a place of safety ab ve leaving him to apply the light to a fuse which was to explode the shots He had an abundantlength ot fuse to give him plenty of time as he supposed to climb up to tbe timbered part of the shaft out of reach of flying rocks from the shots The distance was only about len feet but be had no ladder on account of the Inconvenience of handling it while shooting and the only meaus of escape was by climbing a rope He applied tbe light to the fuse and started to climb the rope but it was wet and slippery and as soon as fie made a few feet his hold would give way and he would slip back to the bottom of the shaft where four pieces of fuse were sizzling their way to as many sticks of giant powder His first unsuccessful attempt did not alarm him much as lie had no fear of his ability to get away but as ha tried again and again and each time to only again slide back to the bottom he began to realize that his positiou was a very critical one He had blown out his light and in the narrow confines of the shaft there was not a crevice or a projecting rock big enough to shield even his hand Tbe place was black as midnight darkness itself and his only way of escape was through tbe agency of that slippery and treacherous rope Ho knew about the time tbe explosion must inevitably occur and as the time grew nearer and nearer the more desperately did ho attempt to make the ascent but all to no purpose The first shot went oft scattering rod in every direction around him and hitting him in various places on the body limbs and head The seeod third and lourth followed in rapid succession but with less serious remits to him The injuries he sustained acre mostly received from tbe first shot He is lacerated and bruised from head to foot although none of the wounds were deep While they are serious and quite painful they are not considered dangerous Zoo Meat During the Siege Letters just published written during the siege of Paris show what high prices were paid for curious meats A certain Deboos bought up the Zeoloeical Garden and sold the animals at a profit The cassowary sold for 40 and the jtaugaroo for only 2J Two caruela brought 1000 and a wild boar J440 Elephants flesh was a luxury and the two were sold steaks for 540 1 like a pestilence earning a reputation as an onion eater for those sensative creatures who turn away in horror from that pungent vegetable At the same time however the wagons afford unlimited facilities for the rounder who lores to eat bis meais on the run Hunjrer need not drive him from his favorite corner a hardship he has endured for years until the sandwich chariot made its advent But the free lunch suffers as the price of the drink which entitles tbe nighthawk to a nibble will purchase him a nice hot sandwich in either one or three varieties ham bam and egg or Hamhurg steak With or without onions The menu with price list attached is plainly painted on eacb wagon About 9 oclock in the evening the wagons emerge from their lairs amply provided and victualed for the cruise Each chef has his regular stand where be holds forth night after night in an earnest endeavor to please bis patrons Some of the proprietors drive a horse but most of the rigs are drawn by hand In shape tbe sandwich wagon is not un like the cage in which tbe giraffe is exhibited at the circus furnished and decorated in accordance with the taste and means of the gentleman In charge The majority of them are plain white lightly but strongly built to withstand the muscular resistance of the food prepared on tbe nside A few of the carts are polished bard wood neatly paneled after the fashion of dining cars with ground glass ventilators at the edge of the roof One esthetic youth has fitted his sandwich emporium with memorial windows of stained glass on which pastoral scenes are depicted with great fidelity to nature He does a large business as Hamburg steaks cooked in such magnificent surroundings appeal directly to the poetical nature of the rounder Another of the carts would be an object worthy of artistic consideration had it not fallen a victim to that singular and universal fatality which prevents tne sign writer from spelling things correctly The art of lettering and orthography it seems never do well together In announcing in four places on the front of the cart that sandwiches could be had there at reasonable rates tbe artist got it sandwltehea At the end of a week a disinterested party and a scholar too called the attention ot tbe chef to a misapprehension under which an educated public was laboring With his breadknife the chef scratched out the and moved the wi back one lap leaving a large gap in the legends and giving the wiches the appearance of being engaged in a perpetual attempt to over take the sand Although the artistic beauties of the cart have thus been ruined AmericansNotVery Highly Pleased Little Money in Sight for Concessionaires Prices Low and Passes Nomerous The United States Ex hlblt Divided A special from Antwerp to the Chicago 7t4uM dsted June 15th gives this review of the Exposition there The second month of the Antwerp Fair is slipping by and the place is still unfinished The aisles of the main buildings are still blocked with unpacked exhibits arid the construction of pavilsens booths and kiosks about tbe grounds stilt goes leisurely on It Is said by the Exposition officials that everything including the air castle will be complete before July 15th Tbe cold weather with an almost continuous downpour of rain since the opening day has also contributed to lessen the attendance The biggest day attendance so far has not exceeded 10000 The concessionaires and the exposition consists of but little else than concessionary enterprises are losing money ard murmuring and discontent pervade the place The American building is finished but not as it was originally planned It is a handsome and imposing building nevertheless and would still look like a piece ot tbe Worlds Fair if it were painted white instead of a light stone color and were ornamented with a little more staff The scarcity of ataff on tbe wooden walls and tbe substitution ol wood for marble in the construction ef the front stoop are the noticeable devia tions from the original plan and these were made at the last minute Inside the American building is pretty The walls are covered with crimson Jute and the ceiling is draped in amber and white striped bunting and the Stars and Stripes The building is scarcely tilled with exhibits and as the American representation is a private enterprise the lack of exhibits had much to do with the modification of the architects plans There nre plenty of exhibits herefrom the United States to fill the building and more but Deputy United States Consul Haine set up an American section in the Uaierie de llndustrie on his own account to which he diverted about one third of the exhibits Thus divided neither ser tion is large enough to satisfy the pride of visiting Americans notwithstanding the fact that the exhibits individually are highly creditable Since the arrival ol United States com lone the arriy officer go In 16 see thera

occasion to build a new barn on my little place near Nlmshew and to save expense on Its con struction I concluded to split out myself II tbe shakes Iwould need I had known ot splondld sugar pipe tree ever since I had lived in that locality that stood on a hillside about two miles from my home It was a solendid specimen fully twelve feet in diameter With tbe assistance of mv eldest son we went one morning about a month ago and in tbe course of few boars felled the forest giant Then we proceeded to split out from the trunk of the tree the shakes that we wanted Ope day my son saw a squirrel playing in the boughs and picking up his gun fired He went to pick up th ttame which bad fallen at the report I paid no attention to him until I heard an exclamation of horror and saw him standing on the trunk gazing intently into the tree top Fastened securely in the second limb fork of tbe tree eighty feet from the ground was a human skeleton it was wedged in so securely that even the all of the tree had failed to dislodge it and it was intact A few remnants of rotten clothing still hung to It and an old sole less shoe half supported the flesliless leg in the crotch ot the tree One bony arm was twined tightly about a limb And the skull still held by the ligaments rested on the breast We dug a shallow graveand bnried the bones on tne hillside The skeleton was that of a white man of average size and from the condition of the teeth and skull he must hare been past middle age From Its bleached condition it must have been in the tree top for at least twenty years Now the question arises and it is a question that makes the whole story seem improbable is bow did that man ever get into the tree lopT We made careful measurements and it was a little over eighty feet from where It rested to the ground and in that space tbere was not a limb or even a knot to which a man might llng In climbing the tree KUIN WROUGHT BY SQUIHRELS Hundred of Aeres Devastated by the Pests in Washington The squirrels have actually devastated the grain fields and in fact all vegetation is destroyed tbe entire distance from Endicott to the BnaXe river The grain fields look as though a heavy ball storm has passed over them hardly a stalk is left standing Mr Fudge ot Waltsburg had 400 acres of fins grain about twelve miles the other side of Kiparta and be purchased 120 worth of poison being determined to make a fight with the squirrels for his crop He had two men and himself fighting like Trojans for two weeks but every nigbt the squirrels destroved from twenty to thirty acres and Saturday night despite all theireSortsOnly about twenty acres of the grain was left and he gave up tbe fight and abaudonfed the remainder to the voracious pests The ground Is literally covered with dead squirrels but for every one killed three take Its place They eat everything green vegetables of all Binds and tbey eren dig below the surface of the ground after the young potatoes Tht squirrels

ana nit tne vacancies mere must be a substitution sorpe time and is better that the substitution a gradual firocest than suddenly made A few ndivtduals cannot be depended upon to keep Up an Interest

pretsion among the new players that they are hot wanted In the chwrIonhlp event Only fay hearty encouragement to tne men wno nave decided to enter these events arid by proper Inducements to those who have not decided can tennis be kept upon Its feet as it should be The old players can do a much for tbe success ofihe game by entertaining a spirit of this kind as they tan by remaining a th rank themselves This appeal for new players to enter the championship contests should not be con itrued as an encporsf ement of poor or even mediocre tenuis There ate a score or more of men the veterans not included in tbe different clubs in this Vicinity who if tbey Md entered the Ban Ilalael tournament would have made an equally good showing with the best players who did enter Then there are many
