Food for rhlloeonnera.
If English were a dead language de
ciphered from cuneiform Inscription some
learned philologist would write a paper
upon these metaphora, and would prove
that tha race which used them had suf
fered much at tho bands of Its cooks to
whose Incompetence Its early and com
plete extinction was no doubt dua. And
perhaps Juat about tha time that explor
ers ehumed and interpreted Voltaire's
gibe about a coon try with on aauce some
till mora learned philologist would put
forward a rival theory In a longer book.
He would begin by extolling tha Ideals
cf a people which immortalized in Its
common speech Ita preference for plain
food plainly cooked; and then he would
demonstrate that unnumbered namelcsa
TWUhmen must have plied knife and
fork In high seriousness for thousands of ',
years before evolving the national bill of
fare and tha Jaw of tha contemporaneous
JMltdown akult wkh coped with It "a Jaw
which !U. for In presence of two dis
tinctively human teth would certainly
bave been referred to a chlmpansee or
Bjerlll." There would be a lengthy digres
sion on the debased civilizations of Ger
many and Italy aa typified by sauerkraut
and bologna sausage, respectively, and of
India aa typified by Bombay duck; and
we should learn that aa the Greek bod
expressed himself In his templea and the
Frenchman In his prose, so the English
man had expressed himself In his roast
beef. (In the appendix there would be a
variorum edition of the ode, "Tha Itoaat
Iteef of Old Kngland.") Finally the au
thor would ask htmeelf how. the English
man, who in art generally snowed no
hent towarda the claaalcal, came to davlse !
the noble line of hla Christ mae dinner.
Here we must leave him; nor have we
space to dlsouss whether the English
man'a dislike to made dishes Is to be as
cribed to the Englishwoman's Inability
lo make them; that la a subject for a so
cial economist. "
' fodder la - Fraace,
This dlallKe, though noticeable enjugh
In l! tourist on, the Continent, ia not a
characteristic of the true traveler in
whom tho spirit ot Inquiry mauifesta it
self also In the palate.
Your true traveler calls for the apeclal
dUh of the district Juat aa he orders the
wine of tha country; In Franoe be will eat
not only otnelcttea and roast chicken, but
should he find himself for Instance at
Murguery restaurant in Paris he will
actiuleece, perhaps with a sigh, at the
waiter's auggeattoa and allow hla aote to
be aerved a la Marguary that la sub
merged In yellow aauce and ahnll fish and
sundry garnlshtnge. Very good it la, but
dlsclplea of Mr. Burton will duny that it
ia an Improvement on fresh aole plainly
grilled when the grlller understands both
eolna and grilling. However, It leada the
novice on to feasts of high emprise to
grappling with vol-au-veut of frogs' legs,
and with analls. the large grey French
snails, dressed with white wine.
On reaching the aouth of Franca oar
traveler discover that the country la no
longer divided aa. la Caesar's time Into
three part a, but into two; and tnat one
cooka with oil and the other, with butter;
according to .Alphonse laudet the anti
pathy baaed on thia culinary distinction
la Ineradicable, and one underatands that
It haa to be reckoned with by all ataiea
men. Oil can be put to good purpose
even by those who do not uae It habit

In a recent detailed account of the leual
electrocution of the four "gunmen" at

scribing the actual putting to oeath of
each ot tho criminals, gives the following
brief but Interesting account of the patho
logical conditions found post-mortem:
No changoa of color could bo detected
on any, of the bodlev. except on the face
ot Whltey lewln, r.e I remarked above,
on account ot hi rpoaking until the last
fraction of a second; hla llpa, a I aaw
myself, were moving during tho full ac
tion ot the first shock. The heart ot an
executed lody I woken, cck like a
lump; tbtre I no air urn and the ven
tricle can 1 easily septitated. The great
arterie are all In a bnke.t shape; there
la no real rupture, but In many Placet
perforation. The bowel are emptied ail
the bladder is pule, bloodless, violently
shaken vp. Liver an I tpleen show n.i
change. Tha lungs are fill id 'th bloul
The brain show hemorrhage and rup
ture of bovi arterlis ani veins. The
teinperatue ilse as high as n: degrei
Farenhelt, and In Lefty Louie' caae it
reached 1W degreea Kahrenh-jl!. riie.elcc
trode, put en the rtn.it leg partly cut the
inua'-.lva and other tissues, but the bones
remained Intact. In each body there wa
a sign of regurgitation in tho throa..
probably from suffocation. It In very In
teresting to know that the urine, a few
oropa of which It w as possible to collect
from the clothing, allowed a laigfl amount
of albumen and an Immense percentage
of calcium phosphate crystal. Thi blood
chanhes are remarkable In ruard to tha
collupae of the red blood corpuscles, al
though no Chung cculd lie rten in the
leucocytes. It was Impossible to make
further scientific examination fr-im olrer
standpoints. Having noted the patho
logical changes after executions by the
rope and guillotine In Austria. Germany
and France, I am sure that the elect rlo
chair producee more alterations than ery
other kind of lesal killing. Lanot Clinic,

With the embargo complete on tne ex
portation of grain to countries In Europe,
Omaha elevator ar rapidly filling with
wheat, corn and oats. A soon aa the
deliverlea are mad on the August sales.
It I expected that within thirty day
thereafter, in the event tho embargo 1
not lifted, practically alt the storage ca
pacity in Omaha territory will havo be
come occupied.
At this time the atocks In atorage are
a follow: Wheat, 430,000; corn, 252,000;
oata, 231,000 bushels. On the correspond
ing date of last year the atocks were:
Wheat, 980,000; corn, 203,000; oats. 892,000
bushels.
. Omaha receipt today . were: Wheat,
ninety; corn, alxty, and oata, fifty-one
carload. Omaha cash price on wheat
were 8&gS6 cents.
ILoral trader Baying.
Ixcal traders continued heavy buyer
ot cash and December wheat and were
just a heavy sellers of May, They fig
ured out that there waa big money deal
ing In the actual grain and few of them
took any chance on speculation. For In
stance, If they bought 1.000 or more bush
el ot cash, or December wheat, they
old the same quantity of May.
The September option opened in Chicago
at S cents, which wa low for th day,
and went to MK. December atarted off
at which wa the low, and climbed
to 99?i, while May kept within a fluctua
tion of t cent. It opened at fl.OSVa. the
low price of the Saturday short session,
and went aa high a tl.OTH.
There are a lot of Omaha grain trader
ho are taking the cue from Armour
and whenever cash wheat sells around 85
cent here, or when December drop to
90 cent, or below, they buy. Then, when
the December option reached 11 or above,
or when the May passes $1.07, they sell.
They figure that the carrying charge. In
cluding handling and Insurance, Is about
1 cent per month per bushel and on this
basla they conclude they have a sure
profit on all the deals.

Douglas of this city, Mr. Browne throw
an Interesting light on the economic and
political condition that have followed In
tho wake of the constitutional's! armies
and indicate that the restoration of law
and order has followed fast after them.
"At Tamplco, the large business opera
tions," writes Mr. Browne, "were alowly
lesuming. The city was clean and or
derly. I did not aee a single drunken
or boisterous Mexican. The market place
waa filled with a profualon of food sup
plies .potatoes alone being scarce. Prlcea
were high In constitutionalist money, but
moderate In American money. Retail
business wa brisk. I did not see a single
beggar In Tamplco.
"Governor Caballero, I watched in his
office and waa struck with hla grasp
of, business detail and the rapidity with
which he dispatched business. The whole
state and municipal machinery moved
with little friction and an absence of
led tape. :
"Train service to Monterey wa poor.
The rolling stock 1 in bad hape front
the ravage of a fierce military cam
paign. Along the rout I was struck with
the absence of signs of aerioua distress
mong the common people such aa I
witnessed in Cuba just-prior to the Span
ish war. Everyone has had enough to
eat. There was no gathering of half
starved, emaciated beggers.
"A a matter of fact, throughout all
upper Mexico the peona have been prac
tically free from paying rent to their
former oppressive landlord for the last
year and are enjoying a consequent in
dividual prosperity to which the war ha
hardly given a blow. Not being handi
capped by a highly specialised Industrial
syatem they flow back to the land at the
first opportunity.
"Monterey, a much larger city than
Tamplco, wa equally a ordorly. Big
butlneas there waa none. The large
banks were closed; business of all kind
waa alaok, but the town wa a clean a
Washington. Again th market ahowed
a profusion of food.

means first-class.
THE BEE BUILDING
