nothing of coy little exquisite dinners

mans head that it is possible for him to

down to the niggardly economies, "to keep
up appearances" If she happens to have
little pride of that sort too, let her put
it in her pocket and do her "duty." We
submit this to be totally one-sided case.

Keeping Fowls in London.

Fowls are kept by working mems wives
dwelling in the small thoroughfares of the
suburbs, and are allowed to roam the
streets by day, returning to roost at night
in back-kitchens or coal-cellars. They
are found everywh here in the news and
livery stables throughout the metropolis
Cabmen's wives keep them in the neigh
borhood of cab-stands, where they run
about under the horses and peck the drop
pings from the nose-bags. Coffee shop
keepers con6ne them in cellars and back
yards, feeding them cheaply from the frag-
ments left by customers. Small trades
men in the bye-streets keep them by hun
dreds, and, as consequence, you may buy
new-laid eggs in winter from hucksters,
green-grocers, potato dealers, coalshed
men, news-dealers, tobacconists, bakers,
confectioners, tin workers, shomakers, join
ers, blacksmiths, wire-workers, and num-
bers of painstaking artifcers besides, all
of whom advertise them in their windows,
and frequently sell them while yet warm
from the nest -...' "-'. -.
There is no part. of London, either in
city or suburbs, which is not tenanted by
barn.door fowls; we have seen scores of
them domiciled on roof-tops, where they
have thriven for generations, sheltered by
night between the attic ceiling and the
states we have been reused ut dawn by
the growing of the cock in Cheapside; we
have heard the shrill alarm in Belgravia
as we'll as in Mapping; and indeed wher-
ever the sound Of Bow bells is heard, there
also is heard about sunrise the voice of the
"cock that crowed in the morn"
