E'PunCh's,' Weekly Dinner.

When the history of the rise and progress
OF Punch comes 10 be written, II will be
found that the Weekly Dinner has been one
of the chief things which contributed TO It's
success. Almost from the foundation of that
Journal it has been the habit of the contrib
utors every Wednesday to dine together. In
the winter months the dinner is usually held
in the front room of the first floor OF No. II
Bouverie street, Whitefriars-the business
offices of the p-oprietors, Messrs. Bradbury
& Evans. Sometimes these dinners are held
at the Bedford Hotel, Covent Garden. Dur
ing the Summer months it is customary TO
have ten or twelve dinners at places in the
neighborhood of London-Greenwich, Rich
mond, Blackwell, etc. And once a year
they attend the annual dinner OF the firm, at
which compositors, readers, printers, machine
men, clerks, ETC., dine. This dinner is called
the " Way Goose" and is often referred to
in Punch" AT the weekly dinner the con-
tents of the forthcoming number of d" Punch
are discussed. When the cloth is removed,
and dessert is laid on the table, the first ques-
ton put by the editor is, [" What shall the
Cartoon be 2" During the lifetimes of Jer-
rold and Thackeray the discussions after
dinner ran very high, owing to the constitu-
tional antipathy existing between these two.
Jerrold being tine Oldest, as we'll as the moi
siest, generally came off victorious. In
these rows it required all the suayity of Mark
Lemon (and he has a great deal of that quail
ity) to calm the storm his award always be-
ing final. The third edition of Wednesdays
. Sun" is generally brought in to give the
latest intelligence, so as TO bring the Cartoon
to the latest date. On the Thursday
morning following the editor calls at the
houses of the artists to see what is being
done. On Friday night all copy is delivered
and put into type, and at two O'Clock on Sat-
uTday proofs are revised, the forms made up,
and, with the last movement of the engine,
the whole of the type is placed under the
press, which cannot be moved until the Mon
day morning, when the steam is again up.
This precaution is taken to prevent waggish
tricks on the part of practical joking compos-
itors. At these dinners none but those con-
nected with the staff proper are permitted to
attend; the only occasional exceptions, we
believe, have been Sir Joseph Paxton, Mr..
the present Foreign Under Secre-
tary, Charles Dickens, and Charles Dickens,
un. As an illustration of the benefit aris-
ing from these meetings, we may mention
Jerrold always used to say, " 1t is no
any Of Us quarreling, because next
Wednesday must come around with its dim
ner, when we Will all have TO shake hands
By means of these meetings, the
discussions arising on all questions helped
both caricaturist and wit 10 take a broad view
Of things, as well as enabled the editor to
get his team to draw well together, and gave
a uniformity of tone to all the contributions.

A Thrilling Balloon Experience,

In 1862 q famous Bronaut adver-
tised that he would make an ascension
from Oakland, California. 1t was u
total novelty to nine-tenths of those
he addressed, and the public rushed
to see him in crowds. In the centre
of the space from which the ascent
was to be made the huge sphere fioated
held down to vulgar earth by a dozen
ropes, grasped by as many persons
elected from among the bystanders.
The navigator of the heavens had not
yet made his appearance, and the au-
dience were growing inpatient, as
manifested by their shouts an curses.

recently moved in order to facilitate re-

that the statue contained an arrange

How COFFEE CAME TO BE USED. AT
the time Columbus discovered Ameri-
ca, coffee had never been known or
used. 1t only grew in Arabia and Up
per Ethiopia. The discovery of its use
as drink is ascribed to the superior
OF monastery in Arabia, who, desir-
Gus of preventing the monks from
sleeping at their nocturnal services,
made them drink the infusion of coffee,
upon the report of some shepherds,
who observed that their focks were
more lively after browsing on the fruit
of that plant. Its reputation rapidly
spread through the adjacent countries,
and in about two hundred years it
reached Paris. A single plant, brought
there in 1914, became the parent stock
of all the coffee plantations in the West
Indies. The extent of consumption
can now hardly be realized. The q.
S. alone annually consume at the cost
of its landing from fourteen to fifteen
millions of dollars. You may know
the Arabia or Mocha, the best coffee,
by its small bean and dark color. The
Java and East India, the next in quail
ity, is a larger bean and of pale yell
low color. The West India Rio has u
blue, greenish gray tint.

How TO MAKE Born Ends MErT.---
John Johnson says that he has noticed
that those farmers who have most diff
ficulty to make both ends meet, always
plough most and keep most stock.
Now these men take the true plan to
keep themselves always poor, and
bring little. 1t is good profit to
raise three hundredFbnsheis Of wheat
from ten acres hut when il
takesthirty acres to raise thai
amount, it is raised at loss. Sc
it is with cattle and sheep. You will
see the thinking farmer making four
year-old steers worth from $50 to $50
each, and his neighbors, at the same
age, not worth over $25 to $40 II his
land is exhausted--and great many
farms are then he should plough no
more than he can thoroughly manure.
Seed with clover ard grass, and let it
rest for even two years, and that field
will not only pay well for tillaee but
will furnish manure (if rightly man
aged) to make another field of the
same richness also. 1t is bad policy,
when field is once highly MANFRED
to continue cropping it with grain
until the manure is used up The
latter end of that land will be worse
than the first. But let that land lay
in clover, even one year, but two is
better, after it is MANFRED, then it will
stand perhaps six good crops before it
requires manuring if clay subsoil, it
certainly will. y3at
