MONTH CARLO , March 1. "All the world
comen to 'Monte Carlo , " Is the saying that
passes in the principality when acquaint
ances from distant party of the glebe stand
stdo by p'de. ' The great magnet la undoubt
edly the famous gambling table , but aside
from that attraction , the place Is of unique
Interest. Numbers ot people , content to
watch the parsing nhovv , go there from ytui <
to year without ever laying a sou on the
tables. They go rather for the sunshine ,
the beauty and the good government that is
to bo found there.
The principal.y ! Is but six miles square
and has a population of between 8,000 and
9,000. It lies especially within the sun's
good graces , while the peculiar cliff forma
tion tempers the high winds that sweep
along the Rlvlcio. AH a health rcaort It Is
one of the best In Kuropc.
No stranger. ) and tow of Its Inhabitants
remain at Monte Carlo during the summer ,
o.i It Is too warm ; the time Is , there 'ore ,
used to renovate and prepare for the winter
season. Hatty In June tnc gra&i Is turned
up and allowed to remain so until the firs !
of October , when the seed Is sown. In two
vveek'fl time the gardens are like the softest
Velvet. Tne tropical plants grow vigorously ,
and It Is unusual to sue the leaves cpotted
or discolored. Nothing Is ever allowed to
decay In Monte Curio ; old buildings arc
modernized , and the park ? , diuicage and
streets are kept In a mate of perfection.
In fact , It Is estimated that of the 1,000-
009 revenue derived from the tables 400,000
4s paid back annually In Improvements. This
yiur the concert stage haa been enlarged ,
and a now < caft ! do Paris built. At present
an elect ! Ic tramway li < being laid In Monte
Carlo by an American company , and the
expense of this enterprise Is to be borne
by one man , u wealthy Moncgasquo , a philos
opher , although ho can neither read nor
write.
CHEAP LIVING.
Monte Carlo Is par excellence a place In
which to own property , as there are no
taxes of any kind , everything being paid b >
the Catino Almcat every spot Is now built
upon , mid considering the demand thcie Is
during the seano.i rents ure astonishingly
low. There a. beautiful' ' llttla fulte ot rooms
can be hod Oor the same price that one
would pay for a fourth story hall bedroom
in New York , | 20 per month. But provisions
are very high on Ing to the nccecsary duties
As on example , sugar sells for 26 cents u
pound. Fruit Is high and milk and cream
about the same as In America. Chickens
aio the only things not sold by weight and
they range In pulce from 40 cents upward.
A woman In Monte Carlo la glad to do house
work for 0 centu an hour , vvl bout board ;
but no one. suffers from poverty there "as
they have learned the true art of economy.
MCI te. Carlo Is governed by the prince of
Mcoaco and Is tmler the protection ot
Trance. The latter friendly relation * can
be Instanced In the matter of postage , as a
letter can be sent to any part of rranio from
Monte Carlo for the same rate that Is ncces-
eary to carry It In France , while to til )
other country a 5-cecit stamp Instead of a
3 must be used. The Credit Ljcnnalae ,
which stands on the border of Farnce , can
bo Eeen from the Casino , an ! strangers In
Monte often walk Into Frcuce for the
purpoic of posting their letters. When
reminded that It Is simpler to drop them
In tbo box at the Casino , they shrug their
shoulders and reply 'that Monte Carlo has a
world-wide reputation for wickedness and It
are lxUoo wrlilnff denka abundantly aup-
plled with pjtf casino rtatloncry , and the ta
blet ) are covereJ with the dally newspipars
In all the languages ot Europe , bfildcs the
mugaztaes and weekly papers of all nations.
TUB PLACE FOll 'BARGAINS. '
In the play rooms the eaylng Is that one
never knows how much the rest of the world
gambles until ono goes to Monte Carlo , and
no other place where'gambllng Is sanctioned
Is so well conducted. No smoking , eating
cr drinking Is allowed and for the slightest
disturbance ono would have his card of ad-
mlssl n taken away , The hank Is a stock
to-npany with a capital of 15,000,000 , The
stock fells quite high. It Is a common error
to think when the bank Is spoken ot as
being broken that the whole company has
como to grief , while In reality It Is simply
one table that has run out of funds and must
suspend payment until It has sent for more
money. A little black flag Is raised by the
table when .the bank Is broken.
The bank nt 'Monte Carlo Is not without
Christian charity , and In cases where It h
knonn that people have laid all their money
on the tables , ivv II give them sufficient means
to return to their onn homes. The bank also
has Its pensioners. There Is one old gentle
man who was once a wealthy citizen of
Montp Carlo , lie beggared hlms.Mf at play.
The bank now gives him a yearly Income on
which IIP lives modeUly and allows him be-
sldo a little extr * .money that he may have
a chance to rrcover his lost fortune.
Among the English that return to Monte
Carlo every season one family Is notable.
The husband has the passion for play. From
his estates In England he has an Income of
70,000 a year , of which the greater part li
laid on the tables. Sometimes ho wins
heavily , and for this great delight he Is
willing at other times to become almost
Impoverished. A faithful old nurse of the
family was soil away last winter when she
rcqu ; teJtUuU.har wagcs bc raised 2 a year.
In all 1,280 people are employed to run the
Casino and gardens-which Is a good field
of labor for the Monegasques. There are
forty Hotels' IfT'SIoTfife' Carlo , and the best
shopi , of Lpnijion and Paris are represented
there during the season. At these places
the prices are .very high ; for the e that are
en vein , as the saying Is , will rush out and
spend their winnings most extravagantly ,
knowing full well that If they do not put
the morrey"o\ft"or'tnelY'handH they will lay
It bac c again pj the tables. It Is possible ,
however , tojjet great bargains with the turn
of tUo UJe , when the people will sell for
almost anv thing their former purchases.
Even'the'poorest at Monte Carlo drink
wine , and _ vvliUe there ore many fountains to
udd 'beauty ' Yo the place a drinking cup Is
never seen. , , „ „ „ „ , , , , .
So things go In thl < 3 land ot sunshine and

- TIIIIMC OFFICUIIOMintlS.
\iinilii-rn of Per KII n * Inclndcd In fho
Cl\ll Service- f VnHiiiiM CmintrlrN.
The statement j * 8 published recently , sava
the New York Sun , that the number of per
sons Irrthe" classified 'civil service of Great
Britain , exclusive , of course , of the army ,
na'vy , constabulary and elected officer ? ,
amounted to 60,000 , with annual pay of 7-
000.000 , or $35,000,000 , An official statement
made In Washington on ( March 1 showed that
the total number of olllceholders In this
1T8.717. _ Thji aggregate salaries
amounted to $90r.S9 , < )27. ) The classified list
of officeholders numbers 87,108 , leaving In the
unclassified list 91,609 , of whom about 80,000
are fourth-class-postmastcrs.
In Great Britain the postofflce and tele
graph offlcd erniiloyes arc not Included In the
civil scrvlpe , , . Figuring the population of the
United States as now about double that of
Great Britain , It Is seen that the number
ot persons In the civil eervlce of Great
Britain Is relatively greater than It Is here.
In Fiance , by a recent computation , there
were In the civil service of that country 330-
000 persons , or about 1 per cent of the
population 300,000 men and 50,000 women , a
total , however , which Included the Inbtruc-
tors In and employes of government schools ,
which In England and the United States are
local , not national , concerns. No one seems
to know even approximately how many per
sons In Germany are In thet direct employ of
the government exclusive of the army and
the navy. In Austria-Hungary , where the
conditions of government are not much dis
similar from those which prevail In Ger
many , the civil service Includes 200,000 per-
la best for anxious friends at home to see
the postmark ot France.
GOVERNOR AND GOVERNMENT.
When in Monte Carlo , Prince Albert and
bis family live In the palace , which Is still ,
although modernized , a fine specimen of the
Renaissance. Ho has one son by his first
wife , who U Ir the army. The princess aluo
has two children by her first husband , the
duke do Richelieu. The prince , however ,
Is fond of science- and spends most ot his
time on board his jacht Alice , named after
tils wife , pursuing his studies In ocean
ography. They ore never in Monte Carlo
ucitll January 1 , when the true reason of
gajety bcglrs. The English people do not
leave their homes until after Christmas , and
the French remain for New Year's.
The place Is admirably governed , and
Its Inhabitants soon learn that there are
certain things they must not do. The regis
tration Is very strict. No stranger Is al
lowed to stop there even as a guest longer
then two \vtcks without permitted of the
principality. 'Good behavior It ) also o.'sen-
tlal , and If a comp'ulnt Is ever lodged
against one , ho Is promptly requested to
let.vo the place , and may never return. lie
can pas ? through on the trains , but must
not Mop over. For these reasons many
'women ' whom circumstances have placed so
that they must live alceio make their homes
at Monte Carlo. And perhaps nowhere else
can they enjoy the same feeling of freedom
and safety.
The town U well policed and lighted , and
a woman can walk about at 11 o'clock at
night as unhesitatingly as lu the early
morning. Durkig the last five jears the
Monte Carlo papers do not mention one
Eulcldo or that anything exciting has taken
place at the Casino ; jet to read the papers
In America , or Africa , one would suppoie
the poor Monegasques had a particular pun-
chant In that dlicctlon.
The present casino of Monte Carlo was
started by Francois Blanc of Hombours ,
about 1SG3 , under the reign of Charles III
of Monaco. It Is exclusively for stra-.igers.
The Moncgasques , or. In fact , any one that
corns his livelihood In Monaco , Is not al
lowed to go to the Casino but on ? day In
the year , Novonbcr 15 , the fete of Prince Al
bert. On this day the tradespeople may en
ter the playrooms ; Ita \ also the only day
in the > ear that the Casino closes at C
o'clock In the afternoon. The bank spires
no expense In illuminations and fireworks
to make the p-lnco'a birthday the gajcit
fete of the year , and It Is greeted with Joy
by every true Monegasque. Sometimes a
tradesman that hue the passion for play will
enter the rooms on that day with his entire
avlngs of the year , that he may try his
luck at the temple of fortune.
Strangers are given cards ot admission to
( ho Casino with the simple request that
they be renewed at the expiration ot a cur
tain time. They then have acceis to the
concerts , the reading rooms and the play
rooms. When neither tbo opera nor thea
ter la at Monte Carlo , for which one must
pay from tea francs up , according to the
talent , there are generally two free concert !
a day. In fact , there are 125 musicians em
ployed by the Cailno. The reading rooms

sons. 120,000 In Austria and SO.OOO in ( Hun
gary. The Austrian method of computation ,
however , U not one which would be likely to
gain much favor here , especially where there
was a legislature In session at a state capital.
The Austrian division of Inhabitants Is as
follows : Farmers , those engaged In manu
factures , these engaged In commerce ,
capitalists , thuic In the civil service , those
In domestic service " "
and "various persons.
The designation of "capitalist" would never
do In the United States. It wouU prove too
elastic too largo when there were no taxes
to bo paid , too small , perhaps , when there
were taxes to be collected and a subdivision
ot the population as "capitalists" would be
awkward for another rcasoa , because It
would be difficult to ascertain what was the
dividing line between the penury of the ma
jority and the affluence of the few , and no
such subdivision would toe permanently pop
ular hero. In Spain a considerable number
of the population are returned as "vagrants
and smugglers , " but Spain Is the only coun
try which preserves this slnhter subdivision
of Its people ; and there Is no separate
division for those In the public service ,
though the colonial , maritime and customs
Interests of Spain require a very consider
able number of persons on the national pay
roll , Italy has a large civil list , but no
.stated class of "vagrants and smugglers. "

Ttriking Features of Next Tear's Show at

SUBMARINE EXCURSIONS PROPOSED
An Iilcn Adopted from the Holland
Torpedo Crnfl Solomon' * Tcm-
tilc to lie
an the Ctronnd.
Among the moot Interesting events ot
1S99 will bo the Pan-American expcaltlon ,
planned to be hold en the Niagara frontier-
thai part or the coaat line of the United
States which llea on the Niagara river , bo-
.ween the city of Buffalo and the great ( alls
) f Niagara. It waa suggested by Mr. Rich-
nond C. Hill and others at the Atlcnta ex
position , but the original scheme has been
greatly expanded.
The exposition will Include exhibits of the
progress ot the nineteenth century , aa shown
In manufacture , the arts and sciences the
greater attention be'ag paid to electricity.
In the first place It was Intended that tlio
exhibitors should be confined to the Ameri
cas North , Central and South. But this
Idea has long been abandoned and nobody IH
barred. ' Many forplgn manufacturers have
already signified their Intention to bring
their exhibits to the "Niagara frontier , In
order that they may be eeen here before their
showing In I'arl. ) ! ci 1900.
Or.o or two special' features ot the great
fair are worth noting. Membera of the great
Msscnlc brotherhood know that In Dalian , ,
Tex. , next June there will be hold the con- |
cla\c of the nobles of the Mystic Shrine. At |
that time reprcsentathcs fiom the oasis of |
Buffalo will be D Wflt ltt.Ole..TexaswJ.clty a :
will make a strong hid for the conclave of
1S99 for Buffalo. For this purpose they ha\o
been assured ot the help of many of the
brethren from other oa'es , and lt > seema
probable that they will succeed In getting
the convention , to which every brother looka
forward with grrat Interest.
SOLOMON'S TEMPLE REPRODUCED.
It Is p'anneJ to have a carefully con
structed reproduction ot the temple fit Solo
mon as one of the principal sights of the
fair grounds. These grounds He .on Cayuga
Island , in the Niagara river , just opposite I
the village ot La Salle , pud abourhalf way '
betwcsn Buffalo and "Niagara Falls. The
grounds themselves are peculiarly well fitted ,
not only for the exposition buildings , but tor
the bulld'ag of the temple which Is here
described. It will be situated close to the
I her brink and one of the walls will form
an Impressive background as It Is viewed
from the shore ot the mainland. In the
bulld'ug Itself it Is proposed to ehow more
particularly the various symbolic article. !
which go to make Masonry what It la , and
there will bo a'great convention Gall , which
will servo for the meetings of those bodies
which have already signified their Intention
ot coming to Buffalo In the year 1899. It la
Impossible at this time to gUe any detailed
description of the building. The plans are
not the work of any one maci , but have been
brought together by a number of men deeply
Interested In the work ot the order , and
suggestions for the furntahlng and the gen
eral araragementa have been made by many
who are high In tho-oounells-off Masonry.
A SUBMARINE : BOAT NOVELTY.
Pcrhars the unique feature of the exposi
tion will bo one ot the means of approach
to the Island. It Is , ot course , Intended that !
all modern means of 'transportation will be '
exhibited , but the one which will be most
in evidence will bo" the submarine boat which
will carry people teem the mainland , to the
entrance to the grounds , and under water.
For this purpose a boat has been devised
which has the characteristics of the Holland
Eubmarlne torpedirt > oatj but "wlthmit tne ad
dition which makes a war vessel of Jhat type
a dangerous thing to meet. This curious
thing will ply regularly between the main
land and the island , and these who wish may
experience the strange sensation of a sail
under water , and some idea faint , to be
sure , but still impressive f what' ' some of
the men who fight our future battles will
have to endure. " " " *
Some Hn.Meml flhitKe * UMhe t A , W.
HrMntktlona.
The nation * ! rat : In * board of the League
of American Whtalmen hes effected some
radical change * In < thn > rac4ng rules and regu
lations for this > * ar ( repor.i the New York
Sun. The results oXlhe race meets held last
season showed that the league racing rules
were sadly In noedvof rev-talon. The new
rules cover all thouraclng questions. The
methods of constructing the national profca-
elor.al champlonshlpu have been changed and
new rules for the protection ot riders and
cluba adop.ed. The powers of the members
of the national bftardi have been Increased.
For Instance , cacfc member will act for the
boaid In nU owrl district under the direc
tion of the chairman. One of the changes la
that all professional riders must register with
the racing bcurd and pay a fee of $2. The
registered riders will receive number * ' , which
shall appear on all race meet programs
and cn'.ry ' blanks. In order to settle bejonJ
dispute the question of how many riders era
necessary to make a race the following rule
baa been adopted :
"Promoters may rrake It a condition that
a certain number mvtl start to make a race ;
but In that case , < o make It a contract , the
entry blank must contain a clause similar
to the following : 'In scratch tuccs there
in 111't ' bo four starters or they will not bo
run , and In handicaps there must be six
starters or 'they ' will not be run. ' If this
claUEo is not Inserted , ovoty race on the
entry blank for which there are etartcra
must bo run. "
The old custom of running the champion
ship races has been changed about ao fol
lows :
"Tho professional national championship
thall bo determined by points won In the
national championship races run on the na
tional circuit. At least ono national cham
pionship race ( subject to the approval of the
I'balnmn ) shall be run on each , day of a
national circuit meet ( and as many others cu
desired by the promotero ) at any of the da- !
THE SUBMARINE BOAT BEFORE DIVING.
The boat will be built upon the lines laid
down by Mr. John P. Holland. It may run
upon the surface like an ordinary boat , but
whe.i the order Is given , "Prepare to dive. "
the engineer will shut off the power , which
Is furnished by a- small oil engine , open a
vaho and let water Into the ballast tanks
and the covers of the thing If a boat maybe
bo said to have covers will bo closed , and
down under the surface ot the river will go
those whose courage Is equal to this strange
dip. Tlu i mokestuil uhich perforim I'M
usual duty when the ship Is awash. Is to be
drawn down by an electric engine , which ,
too , will furnish the motive power while the
ship Is under the river surface. It is said
that the order can be given , the engine
stopped , the Smokestack drawn down , all
apertures closed , and the boat well under
water within thirty seconds.
The exposition Itself Is In the hands of men
whceo names are a guarantee that all will
be done properly. The president Is Captain
John M. Brlnker , the president of the famous
Gorge railroad , which runs down along the
brink of Niagara's whirlpool rapids. The
dlrectorgdie-al Is Mr. W Carjl Elyof Niagara
Tails. Ex-Governor Rcswcll P. Flower of
New York Is the vice president , and among
the directors are William F. Sheehan. former
lieutenant governor of New York ; Chauncey
M. Dcpew , Mr. E. B. Thomas of the Erie
railroad and many other substantial men.

tanccs named In paragraph 1. The first
prize must not be less than $150. When
there arc more than five entries trial heats
shall be run until the contestants are re
duced to not more than five for the final.
The first to finish In the final shall count
six in the championship table , the next
four , the next three , the next two and the
next one ; except at the national meet , when
the first to flnuh shall count sixty , the next
forty , the next tlilrty , the nex. twenty and
the next ten. Sttould any of the champion
ship mcea for any of the distances be omitted
at the national meet , the oml'ted race will
be assigned to the national circuit and the
count will be pored as If they were run
at the national meet. The points to the
crcdl. of each contestant shall be published
In the bulletin of the chairman , and the
contestant having the greatest number at all
distances at the -end of the national circuit
shall bo declared the champion. No exceto-
Ivc time limits sl.all be placed on these
races , and they shall bo open . : o the world.
In the trial hcata ot these races pacemakein
shall not qualify for1 the final , , and no one
shall be allowed to compete In the final for
any other reasort than winning one ot the
qualifying positions. If there Is a dead heat
botw een any two-ior more , < heae making the
dead hcub mayrrun It over or decide by lot ,
at the discretions ! the referee. "
The racing board , realizing that the ama
teur riders will Ho * follow the circuit , has
drafted the following rule to govern the
amateur championships :
"The amateur national championship races
ehall be run at the national meet. The
winners ot first and second positions In the
final J of the quarter , third , half , two-mile ,
and five-mile ( or any ot { hem ) shall qualify
for the one-mile , and the winner of the one-
milo shall bo declared the champion. The
trophies for amateur national championships
shall be medals , to test In no case more
than $50 per set of three , gold , diver , and
bronze , respectively , to be struck from dies
owned by the league. "
The board has decided that an entry can
not be rejected by a promoter so long as It
Is "ono which compiles with the lacing rules
and la accompanied by the fee required for
all entries for that meet. ' The board has
made a radical departure from the usual
ciu'tomy In adopting the following rule for
the benefit of cash prize riders :
"When a profccalonal makes an entry on
) the regular blank seven days prior to date
of contest , and thus enables the promoter to
advertise his attractions , the professional
may Insert In the entry the name of the
wheel or Urea ho rides , and the promoter
must then Insert the same , opposite hie
name , on the sere cnrti c.program. . Promoters
meters ate prohibited ' .cm Inserting name
ot.heel or tires of amateurs or ot late en
tries. "
T.vo duties of the referees at all the meets
this year are defined In the following rule :
"KcJerces will report on mceta ( Mrect to
the member grafting the sanction of" all
protests , foul riding , false entries , attempts
ot unregistered men to ride , uncxcused nonstarters -
starters , and such other matters upon which
ho receives instructions from time to time.
In national circuit meets the referee shall
at once report the number of points won by
each contestant in the championship races
The report shall be accompanied by a score
card. The referee may permit an unregis
tered rider to start provided the rider de
posits the fee of $2 with the referee to be
sent to the member for the district , together
with the full name and address ot the rider. "
The engagement of racing men on contract
will 'be ' governed by the folovvlng rule ;
"Promoters desiring to form teams for
Intercity races or for paccmaklng will bo
permitted by the chairman , at his discretion ,
to employ a limited number of professional
racing men for a series ot months , upon writ
ten contracts submitted for approval , ono
copy ot which Is to bo filed with the board. "
As a result of the controversy arouseJ
by the last six-day race at Madl ° on Square
Garden , the appended rule has been framed :
"Unfair deallnR includes , among other
things , any 'faking' of the public , such as
knowingly having a short track , the length
of which Is unannounced ; exaggerating
purses and prlzci , Including alleged side
bets , or any fictions or deceptions to mls-
leai the public or racing men. Every prize
of every meet , match race , exhibition , or
performance , must appear on the score carder
or bo announced to spectators before the
start. "
The new rules rtgulating records stipulate
that records made with the assistance of
other than the recognized cycle machines
must be recorded separately. In running
off trial and final heaU at tournaments It his
been decided that In the future only win
ners of positions In trial "heats shall com
pete In the final. No rider will bo al
lowed a final heal because of a foul or ac-
cUent In a trial heat. In order to clearly
define the jurisdiction of the League of
American Wheelmen over racing the fol
lowing ne.v rule will be enforced :
'The start of a man In anv event of a
sanctioned meet shall constitute a contract
by all parties concerned that the event and
meet la under the jurisdiction of tbo racing
board , and that all disputes , prizes , Juris
diction of officials , and every question what
ever connected with , the event or meet Is
subject to the decision of the board. "
Anticipating that middle distance-nnd pur
suit races will be extensively promoted this
jc-ar. the board has agreed that the condi
tions governing these contests must be
printed on the meet programs. It Is com
pulsory that the ages pf rldcro In boys' races
must appear on the score cards. The board
will not sanction a match or special race
unless a special permit IH applied for , and ,
barring national circuit meets , the purse *
cannot exceel $100 , unless by special sane-
tlon. The board lays partlcu'ar emphasis
on the rule that race promoters are pro
hibited front offering , and racing men from
accepting , bonua money ( or anything In ex-
of advfirtlicil prlzci. In trial heata no

Lovers of that toothsome delicacy which ,
however , has only spiung Into popularity
during recent years the eravvflsh will no
doubt regret to learn that a scarcity of their
favorlto dish Is predicted for the coming
season. Some dealers even go so far as to
predict a famine the next few jear * and
the ultimate extinction of this shell fiah In
the streams of Oregon , aays the Portland
Orcgonlan.
These predictions are based upon the In
creased consumption of the crawflah and
their Inadequate replenishment. Until a
few years ago only a few crawfiah wire
eaten In Portland : now no epicure Is up
to date unless he can make a plate of u
dozen or two disappear with as much ease
as a plate of eastern raws. The catching
of crawfish during the Infantry of this In
dustry was confined to a few Chinamen ,
Itillans and Frenchmen , who caught them
isnuch fen the fiport of catching them u
for the few dimes they made out of tuU
pastime. Now men make a business of
catching crawfish for market. One Yamhlll
county farmer Is eild to have abandoned
farming entirely tor the more profitable
business of catching crawfish. Ho has half
A dozen men In his employ and has nets
In a dozen streams at a time. Last ) car
ho Is said to b ve made considerable aioni > y
In the buslncw and teeing the pro-ipecls
of still greater profits , ho concluded to es
tablish a crawfish farm. He stocked his
pjnd with All the crawflah ho caught last
year that were too small for market , and In
consequence IMS about 20,000 ready for mar
ket now. IIU are the first of the ecafon to
reach Portland markets and a ho will have

The prlcV of ciawfsh Is already a Httlo
hjgher than t was a-ycar ago , and a still
further advance Is prertlUed before the close
of the spasou. Lant ) ear dealers never paid
ovci : 20 ccntu a dozen ; this year 25 cents Is
asked. HcHtaurauts and saloons that keep
them on sale have made no proportionable
advance In their selling price , as they atlll
eervo them for EO cinta a dozen , the same

( As an Indication of the extent of the con
sumption ot crawfUh In this city It may be
stated that oho saloon that has established
a reputation for cooking crawflah last year
' sold as high as 160 dozen In one day. The
art of cooking crawflah Is a science In It
self , an all depends upon the spicing and
flavoring. The most acceptable method of
preparhiK them was discovered by a baron
and consists of bolllng-them In white wlno
with the proper seasoning of red pepper , toy
leaves and other eplccs.

cnt that few pcrscns In the audience could
sing tlio difficult air correctly , and even a
lesB number were familiar with the words.
The ladles and gcntlomcn both a veil flaga
and handkedchlcis and made a noise with
their mouths , liut they did not slug , and the
effect was entirely destroyed by the lack of
harmony and unison.
A similar bccno occurred at the last ban
quet of the Loyal Legion , which Is a very
Important organisation In a city like Wash
ington , where there arc HO many army and
navy officers on both the active and retired
Huts and so many men u ho nerved as volun
teers during the war. After dinner was
served the commandert\dmlral Ilamscy ,
arose and announced that the comrades would
all Join In slnplng the national anthem ,
"Tho Star Spangled naniicr. " A paid accom
panist went to the piano , struck a few chorda
In order to give the key , and then began tbo
air. Nearly every one of the several hun
dred people present began briskly :
Oh , hay , can you to by the davvn'H cnrly
light . /
Whnt so proudly we hall
But when they got that far the majority
of the party "fell down" on the words and
had to hum the tune , and even then they
got tangled up In the air. A still umaller
number knew the second verso , and before
the third was reached nearly everybody
stopped , leaving a few veterans like Senator
Hawlej to sing It as a solo. It was remarked
at the time that our national air was never
meant for a chorux , and the Inability of the
Lsyal Legion to sing It was proof of that
fact. It was a melancholy exhibition. After , . ,
i awhile they tried "Columbia , the Ocm ot tlio -
Ocean" and then "Hall Columbia , Happy
i Land , " and while nearly everybody knew the
air of both and the first verso of each , neither
was successful. Nor was thcro any enthu
siasm or volume of sound until somtbody
proposed "Marching Through Georgia. " Iloth
the words and music of that song appeared
to be farnllUr. At the close of the exercises
the company redeemed Itself by elnglng
"America" In grand style , but we- could not
help remembering that It was the national
hymn of Great Urltatn , and not our own ,
