The old English had three nieais j a day, of which the chief meal was taken when the work of the day was i fiiished. The first meal was at 9 o'clock, dinner was about 3 o'clock, and supper wa6 taken just before + TVio "Wnrmnnc at j UCUllliiC. AHV ?- j the old English breakfast time or a little later and supped at 7 p. m. ! In Tudor times the higher classes j dined at 11 and supped at 5 o'clock, but the merchants seldom took their meals before 12 and (^o'clock. i The chief meals, dinner and supper, were taken in the haH both bv the old English and the Xormans, for the parlor did not come into use I until the reign of Elizabeth. Break-1 fast did not become a regular meal j until quite lately, and Dr. Murray | in the Oxford Dictionary gave 1043 as the date of the earliest quota-1 tion in which the word occurred. The meal did not become recognized until late in the seventeenth century, for Pepy6 habitually took his draft of half a pint of Khenish wine or a dram of strong waters in place of a morning meal. Dinner was always the great meal of the day, and from the accession of Henry IV. to the death of Queen Elizabeth the dinners were as sumptuous , and extravagant as any of those now served. Carving was then a fine art. Each , guest brought his own knife and spoon, for the small fork was not ; introduced into England until 1 Thomas Oorvate of Odcoir.be pub lished his "Crudities" in 1611. ; Pepvs took his spoon and fork with him to the lord mayor's feast in , 16G3. The absence of forks led to ( much stress being laid upon the act of washing the hands both before and after meals and to the rule , that the left hand alone should be , dipped into the common dish, the j right hand being occupied with the ; knife. i The perfect dinner at the best time of English cookery consisted , of three courses, each complete in itself, and terminated by a subtlety ' or device, the whole being rounded , off with hippocras, after which the : guests retired into another room, , where pastry, sweetmeats and fruit ( were served with the choicer wines. ( The English were essentially meat < eaters, and it was not until the time of the Commonwealth that , pudding attained its extraordinary popularity, indeed the first men- 1 tiGfi of pudding in the menus of ] the buckfeast at St. Bartholomew's ( hospital did not occur until 1710, and in 1712 is an item of 5 shillings , for ice.?London Times. Whtn They Know It. All. The proud father includes among ] his boasts the following school es- 1 sav of his voung hopeful: j "A horse gets up bv giving a sud- ' den jump to its front legs and then , gets on its hind legs. "A cow drinks by putting its ( mouth in the bucket and sucks the ( water. , "A duck picks up the food by its j bill, then throws his head back. "Maple leaves begin to bloom about the 1st of May. j "A locomotive while going around a corner bends very much to the inside. "A passenger train when about to stop the wheels of the locomotive , stop revolving and 6lide? along the * tracks. , "A locomotive has to be very | much heavier than the train to | overcome the weight of the train ; ^ 1 - V., agaiii6t it. .Because wnen a Douy ] gets a-moving it has a tendency to keep moving."?New York Post. j Amateur Doctors. i There was an ominous stillness in < the house as the great physician entered and made his way to his pa- , tient's room. Hastily he ma4e ms ( examination, his eves showing the , deep sympathy he felt. ( '\Madam," he 6aid, "I am indeed , sorry to see you in such a condition ] as this. What has happened? Have you been run over by a motor car?" With infinite difficulty and obvious pain the patient roused her- , self, and the white lips slowly 1 moved. "No, doctor," she moaned, "but I fainted in church and was brought to by some friends who have been studying first aid to the injured." Then the ffreat physician took out his notebook and entered the case in the "very serious" column.? London Telegraph. Had Something Else. An old darky in Richmond once experienced considerable difficulty in securing the sum due him from a prominent business man whose stable the negro had whitewashed. One afternoon as the old darky came painfully up the walk toward the house the master thereof called to him from the porch: * What's the matter, Mose? Got the gout ?" "No, Bah," came in respectful tones from Mose,' "Ts got de bill for dat whitewashinV?Exchange. INTESTINAL TROUBLES. Colitrs, Ha Cause* and the Way li Should Be Treated. Colitis is an inflammation of the rolon, or large intestine. It occurs in several forms. Simple catarrhal colitis is a not uncommon affection. It may arise from the same cause as catarrh of other mucous membranes, as of the bronchial tubes, for example, or it may be caused by the presence in the intestine of indigestible or partly decomposed food. A not infrequent cause is constipation, the matters which should be discharged being retained and bv their presence setting up an irritation. The most frequent symptom is diarrhea. This usually comes on suddenly and 1s watery in character, often tinged with blood. Associated with this is considerable abdominal pain, occurring in paroxysms? coiic ? and following the course of tlie large intestine at one or the other side of the abdomen or along its upper border. The appetite is poor, the tongue is coated with a white fur, nausea is common and vomiting sometimes occurs. There is usually more or less fever, and the pulse is rapid and weak. The treatment consists in absolute rest in bed, a very restricted diet (preferably milk and limewater in 6mall quantities) and the administration of astringent remedies. The latter is, of course, to be left to the physician, for much harm may be done by injudicious medication. The symptoms of dysentery are very similar to those of the disease under consideration, but dysentery is a much more serious affection. The possibility that the disease is dysentery rather than simple colitis is an added reason for seeking medical advice and not attempting to cure the trouble with domestic treatment. Another and more serious form of inflammation of the colon is what is called membranous colitis. This disease occurs usually in young adults and in women more commonly than in men. The initial ymptoms are similar to those of simple colitis, but the diarrhea does not last long and alternates with periods of obstinate constipation. In the passages, especially luring the periods of constipation, are patches of membrane, sometimes of considerable size, looking like wet parchment, formed of sheets of feliacious mucus. The subjects of this disease, which iB chronic in character, are usually dyspeptic, suffering much from flatulence, anaemic and depressed in spirit. The treatment is mainly hygienic. The patient should live much in the open air, have long hours of sleep, eat plenty of nourishing food, scrupulously avoiding fried meats, pastry and other indigestible articles of 'diet. A :hange of air and scene is often curative in its pffects. The patient should also if possible have 6ome light out interesting occupuuun, which will serve to turn his mind from his ailment.?Youth's Companion. Won His Bet. One of the mo9t singular wagers which might be taken to be the outcome of a growing industrial age was made and deeided in 1811. Sir John Throckmorton at that time bet a thousand guineas that he could have a coat made in a day from the first shearing of the sheep to the last stitch of .the tailor's needle. According to the agreement, at 6 in the morning Sir John gave two Southdown sheep to a Mr. Coxeter. The sheep were 6horn, the wool r<6pun," the yarn "spooled, warped, loomed and wove," the cloth "burred, milled, rowed, dyed, dried, sheared and pressed." At 4 o'clock in the afternoon it was in the hands of a tailor. At exactly twenty minutes past 6 that workman finished his task and the completed ooat was presented by Mr. Coxeter to Six John, who Dut it on and appeared in it before a crowd of 6,000 applauding spectators.?Metropolitan Magazine. Tirsd of the Even Thousand. John Hollister was one of the most popular men in Washington. He was always doing favors for other people and never asking any for himself. An acquaintance, knowing his pro verbis 1 good nature, had abused his confidence. One day Hollister was standing in the Arlington hotel lobby when this man came up to Hollister and said very effusively: "I'm a thousand times obliged to Sou for what you said to Secretary 'oster.. I got the place." "And you are 'a thousand times " "??? :-J u Via ODIlgea r querieu avuuwt m uu most innocent manner. "Yes, indeed; a thousand times." "Say, can't you make it 1,200, just once?

"If there'6 one thing," said th business man reflectively, "that call for the exercise of infinite tact it i the giving of reproofs. There are o course some occasions when th manner of rebuking doesn't have t be taken into consideration?occa sions when the reprimand shouii be as decisive and sharp as you cai make it. .But there are other time ?plenty of them?when a quid word is the worst possible medicin to administer. An employer or i superintendent owes it to his posi tion, to say nothing of what he owe to the men under him, to take int consideration the kjnd of man t whom he is talking. Personally don't believe in coddling, but 1 know that gradations in reproof give weight to those I want to mak emphatic. "Every one makes mistakes r. one time or another, and I think it' only fair to be charitable to the em ployee who errs through zeal or a the result of ignorance. If a raai is trying to do his best you know i or you ought to, and such a man in cvitably loses his interest in hi work when he i> subjected to any thing that looks to him like injus tice. "Some people?and this classifies tion includes one or two by whon I've been employed myself?don' seem to realize that feelings aren' entirely eliminated in business deal ings. They are hard taskmasters their method of riding is roughshod They'd get more help on the way i they used different tactics. "It's the spirit of co-operatioi that I'm trying to hold up as ai ideal. The moment* the head of ai c-tablishment gets his associates b sense the fact that they are all pull ing together for a common end h' has gone a long way toward assur ing success. That needn't detrac from his position as director, rule ?whatever you want to call it?i] the least. It's 6imply insistence 01 team play, and it is by team pla; that our industrial and commercia games are won."?Exchange. A Brib? Which Failed. The incorruptibility of EnglisI judges is practically beyond disput? yet some of the countrymen of th judges do not realize it. Judg Morris tells of a case in which ai Irish baronet, who held strong no tions as to the divine rights of land lords, refuged to pay for the dam ages done by his aeer to the turni] crop of a fanner into whose field they had broken. The baronet' point was that the deer were wil I and that therelore he coma not o J held responsible for them. Th court, needless to say, made shor work of his plea. But before th case came on he must needs hav one of the deer shot by a keepe and a haunch 6ent to the judge wh was to try the issue. Of course th girt was returned with a scathin, denunciation. "My dear fellow, said Chief Justice Monahon whe: the righteous judge told him of th affair, "you should have taken th scoundrel's haunch, eaten it an 6ent him to jail for contempt o court!"?London Standard.

Lake Eri has been known to alter its level distance of fifteen feet on accoui of heavy winds, and Lake Michiga was at on* time the subject of cor siderable interest from the sam cause. The wind was heavy an continuou; and piled the water n on one side, while the other was s low that people walked out upo rocks where in the memory of ma no feet had ever trodden. Great Minds Think Alike. Fat hac got hurt, not much mor than a scratch, it is true, but hi employer had visions of being cozr pelled to keep him for life and ha adopted the wise course of sendin him at once to the hospital. After the house surgeon had ei amined h:.m carefully he said to th nurse: "As sulxmtaneous abrasion is nc observabl?, I do not think there i any reason to apprehend tegumer t&l cicat:*ization of the wound.
