At a literary reoeptiou Mr. Lowell was { ?ierred to as one 01 me masters wi ^\uucroan poetry, who had never seemed oapable >f doing anything else. "I think yon are wrong," said one In a critical tone. "Mr. Lowell wrote several woks whioh were well worth reading." "What are they?" asked the first comnentator on American literature. " 'The Autoorat' and the other 'Breakast Table Books,' " was the serene reply. As every one in the group looked wise I ind innocent, it was evident that the rival ilaims of Dr. Holmes to the authorship of 1 hose "Breakfast Table Books" were not inspected. A graduate of an English university wat imazed by a reference to the American livil war whioh was oasually made in oonrersation at a clubhouse. "When did it take place?" he asked. "] lad supposed that there had been no fight- < ng in America since George Washing- I on's revolution in the time of George I [II."

The flavor of the meat \ s said to be identical with that of rabbit neat. These animals need constant atention to keep thom out of mischief, a! hey are little demons to fight, and they lave a habit of chewing up whatever frag nents they find scattered about till they lie of gastrio congestion. In their habits j hey are subject to unaccountable panics, md often rush about squeaking, and then . mddle together quietly for the rest of the * lay. They are very prolific, and the young ' ire not blind like the young of the rabbit, md often when only two days old, it it j >aid, will eat grass and sop. 4 On the farm they are fed on sop made if milk and stale but not sour bread, ilong with green stuff, barley and bay. .n guinea pig farming, as In quail farm- j ng, it is admitted that large profits are nado?due no doubt to tbe fact that there . s so little competition.
