' \ ' While the dinner hour still clings to the nooutlruc ninoug country people it has advanced in the cities until now it occurs at any time between noon and midnight. And that reminds us, says the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, of oue of the many stories about Colonel Davy Crockett. While he was a member of congress and was at ids home in Tennessee some one asked liiin about the dinner hour in Wusldngton. He said the common people ate dinner at 12, the next nbove them at 1, the merchants at 2.'the representatives at 3. , ihe senator! (ft 4, members of the cabi? net nt ft and tbe vice president nt 0.

Where Women I'roponc. In the Ukraine, Russia, the woman Iocs all the courting. When she falls u love with a man, she goes to his souse and informs him of the state of icr feelings. If he reciprocates, all is veil, and the formal marriage Is duly irranged. If, however, he Is unwillr.g, she remains there, hoping to coax dm to a better miml.

' Kubmnrlnr Tablflr.ndn Thnt Mr?t?h Arvoxa (he Atlantic. There seems to be no logical reason why cables cannot be laid across any section of the oceans of the world. m? matter how great the depth. Some puslions of the Atlantic cables arc tilts* miles below the surface, and this Is not necessarily the cxtiMue depth, for the cable may and probably does pass from the top of one submarine bill to another without drooping materially Into the deep vail ya between, says Llpplncott's Magazine. The greatest known dcptli cf the sea Is 4(l,(KU> feet, or 7 :?o mil s, found in the1 south Atlantic midway between the Islr.iwl of Tristan da Cr.nha and the mouth of the ttio do la Plata. Soundings bars been made to the depth of ii7,4MO f?* In the north Atlantic south of Newfoundland, and about lll.oco feet, ar nearly (P 1> miles, is reported south of . t? I in.: i.;-n.n;:;:;s. i*;vrn sur'a cuordlOm depths as th so need nut hinder cable laying so far sis the theory Is eonccrnril. but in practice, for reasons of econotay hi tnaint sain nee and otherwise, it Is found Inst to take advantage of favoring conditions in the ocean's bed. To illustrate, all of the ealiles between the t'nitcd States nnd Europe run up along our coast until they reach the neighborhood of Newfoundland before starting across to tlu ir destination in Ireland or Ernnce. The reason for this is found in flh* range of submarine tablelands, forming an ideal cable bad, which lies between the three latter countries. _ V 1 The* Sea Trotit. The gnmest of salt water fish, nftcf the striped bass, is the weakfish, or sen trout. Tl:e sport of angling for thcia is generally enhanced because, feeding as they generally do near the surface. It Is possible to fish for them with light tackle. The best places to find them in the vicinity of New York are Jamaica bay, the southwestern shore of Stateu Island and the mouth of tbo Shrewsbury river. While they haro been caught weighing upward of twenty pounds, a six rr ten pounder Is a good sb:e, and the average will only run from one to two and a half. Tbero is never any doubt when a weakfish bites. lie dees not nibble around tho book, but takes the bait at one fhflr swoop and then starts o!T with it iiko a limited express with time to rnnko up. lie is a shy lisdi, and the man who uses a small line, light leader? and snelks to his hook and keeps quUft while fishing is the one who is apt to have the best luck.?Country I.tfn I?i America.
