A Remarkable Fish Dinner.

The fish culturists who have recently
been in session at the Centennial Expo-
81 ion treated themselves, during their
st y in Philadelphia, to a fish dinner.
" Iich is certainly very extraordinary
and unique in its way. The bill of fare
embraced fifty-eight different kinds of
fish, and in its entirety is much too long
for publication here. Some of the del
icacies, however, are remarkable. Un-

and it is not her fault if the oddly made
acquaintance does not ripen into a very
warm and satisfactory filtration. This
is no hypothetical case. Such things
do occur, and others of the same XII d..
In amusing contrast to the aristocratlc
skating club is a rink where no annual
subscription is required, no presenta-
tion at Court. no members ticket, only
a small payment at the door. Evening
is the time to see such an establishment
at its best, or worse. The room blazes
with gas, but ventilators have been left
out of the design. A smell of music
hall cigars, stale sandwiches, and cherry
brandy pervades the air. Arms and
legs fly about like the sails of a wind
mill, or like the figures in a magic Ian
tern. In the middle of the room and
in the corners difficult feats are per
formed with ingenuity if not with
grace, and one or two men secure the
admiration of less skillful skaters by
assuming the character of animated tea
pots. The young women may be seen,
clinging at the borders of the throng,
where they can eat sponge cake and
drink lemonade at the expense of their
respective young men, others showing
a strong resolve to take the worth of
their extra money out of the floor

How SHE LEARNED THE METHOD
A paper published in Sacramento, CAL,
gives the following: Yesterday, a
young lady called at the counter of the
registry department of the postofice,
and asked for the privilege OF reopen
ing letter which she claimed to have
dropped in the box that morning. The
postmaster, after finding the address
and taking particular description of the
missive sought, obligingly searched
among the letters in the drop, and,
finding the letter, proceeded to open it
in the presence of the writer. In doing
this the official used q common lead
pencil, but the lapel Of the envelope
was stuck to stay stuck, and general
mutilation was imminent. Observing
the unprofessional method the lady
said, decidedly, Give it to me; let me
show you The letter was handed
over, when the fair manipulation deity
ran the thumb-nail under the edges Of
the lapel, raising it neatly. Follow
ing this up, with delicate touches in
kind, it soon became apparent that the
opening, without leaving trace Of the
manipulation, was only n question Of
time. The postmaster and his deputy
looked on in charming and innocent
interest. The performance was q high
art-a deft facility. eloquent Of patient
practice. Neatly the work was done,
and - the careful opening was compile
ted the Lady remarked-by way Of ex-
PLANTATION merely, and lest some infer
enco unfavorable to the legitimacy Of
this skill might be draWn-'I used to
be in q postofice myself, you see l
learned how it's done, Is you know"

SHREwD PLLeARIsM.-While litera-
ture continues, plagiarism will exist,
and pretenders snatch from honest writ
ers their Just dues. A friend of ours,
smart enough in his way, but not quite
equal to his position as minister, for
years pursued o very clever system of
plagiarism; and, through the excellence
of the sermons he delivered, becamea q
fayorite with his people. By and by one
of his old college matespaid him visit,
spent the Sabbath with him, and heard
him preach. The visitor was surprised
at the depth and power of the sermon,
AID questioned him, afterward, concern
ing It, saying it was the best he had
ever heard. The minister laughed.
"You can keep a secret?"- he asked.
''Well, then, I'll tell you aboutit. My
wife is scholar. She selects sermons
for me and translates them into Latin (;
then take her translation, without hav-
in seen the original, and retranslate it
into English, The sermon you heard
to-day was one of DR.. .Clarke's q nd l
don't believe he could have recognized
it if he had heard it himself" And
that's the wav fraud fourishes.

One Of the magazine writer's asks,
''Did you ever hide some sacred thought
beneath your pillow and weave q web Of
tender hope about" We never did and
we doubt If any one else ever did. In
the first place most people never hide
anything beneath their pillow unless 1t
is q handkerchief when they have cold,
and then il it is under the pillow how
are YOU going to weave anything around
II without lifting the pillow up? The
magazinists seem to be asking very fool
ish questions.

Leather was also used, as well as
wooden tablets. Then the payrus came
into vogue and about the eighth century,
the payrus was superseded parchment.
Paper, however, is of great antiquity,
especially among the Chinese; but the
first paper mill in England was built in
1886 by a German, at Dartmouth, in
Kent. Nevertheless, it was nearly
century and half-namely, in 1713,-
before Thomas Watkins, q stationer,
brought paper making to anything like
perfection.

What tho Diamond Did.

George w., of England, sent the ia
nous Pitt diamond as a present in a
ring to the Persian ruler, Fath-Ali-
Shah. The bearer of this costly ring,
Sir Hartford Jones, was stopped in his
journey y a messenger from the court,
and desired not to enter the capital,
where French interests were then para
mount. After Sir Hartford had exhaust
ed every argument to show that he
ought to be received, without making
any impression on the Persian Khan, he
said: = Well, if it must be so, 1 shall
return, but this must go with me, and
he took from his pocket the beautiful
diamond which had been sent for the
Shah. The sparkle of the gem pro-
duced a magical effect the Khan no
sooner beheld it than he lost his bal
ance, and fell back from his seat quit }
ont Of breath then, recovering him
self, he shouted: Stop, stop, Elchi
May your condescending kindness go
on increasing This alters the matter
1 will send an express to the heavenly
resembling threshold Of the asylum of
the world ! 1 swear by your head that
you will be received with all honor.
Mashaliah ! 1t is not every one that
has diamonds like the Inglis." He was
as good as his word; the express cour-
ier was dispatched, and Sir Hartford
Jones entered the city of Teheran by
one gate, while General Gardanne, the
French envoy, was packed of by the
other.

SETTLING A KNoTTY PoNT.-A mer-
chant once had a dispute with Qua
ker respecting the settlement of an ac-
count. The merchant was determined
to bring the matter into court, a pro-
ceeding which the Quaker very earn
estly deprecated, using every argument
in his power to convince him of his er-
ror; but he was inhexible. DESTROYS to
make last effort, the Quaker called at
his house one morning, and enquired
Of the servant If his master was at home
The merchant, hearing the enquiry and
knowing the voice, called out from the
top of the stairs
"Tell the rascal am not at home"
The Quaker, quietly looking up at
him, calmly said
"Well, friend. the Lord put thee in a
better mind"
The merchant, afterward struck with
the meakness of the reply, and having
more deliberately investigated the mat
ter, became convinced that the Quaker
was right and himself wrong. He re-
quested to see him, and after acknowl-
edging his error, he said
"I have one question to ask you
how were you able, with such patience.
on various occasions, to bear my abuse?"
Friend, replied TIE Quaker, 81 will
