e In Boston found some curious
facts about hotels. The wealthiest
hotel man in the country now is Parker
of the we'll known Parker house, worth
81, 100000. He is native of Maine,
and began life in Boston as a coach
man. The bill of fare has about 300
articles upon it daily. The Revere
house, at which Paran Stevens began
the great career he followed to wealth
and fame, now rents for S10,0 600 instead
of $4,000, as formerly. 1t is able,
therefore, to furnish a better table at
Stevens old prices before the war. The
fremont rents for $4,000, though
scarcely larger, being in more modern
location. The Brunswick is so profita-
BILE that the owners want to get the
prOprietors out and charge more lease.

~ The Rev. j. G. Wood, of natural
history celebrity, has been lecturing on
rat pie, and making the subject so
popular that ''he receives a thousand
letters week" on the exciting topic
Of course his correspondents want the
receipt, and he gives it to them. 'Rat
pie was made in precisely the same
manner as rabbit pie, the only differ
ence being that in case of the rat pie
the result was far more delicious. The
cook should be careful to produce as
fine rats as possible, cut off their tails,
skin, dress and wash them, then cut
them. into four pieces, and add few
morsels of pork fat. When cooked and
cold the pie was full Of the most deli
ciOus jelly. He had often been dining
with his friends when they left most
excellent viands on the table untOuch-
ed, while every scrap of the rat pie had
been devOured. y London Letter to Har-

Kings Champion is the sire of the celebrated
Album horse, who trotted in 2:1s; also Geo. b.

DUKE ALEXIS is expected to remain at my
stable during the season of 1879, and will be kept
for n limited number of mares. Persons interested
are requested to call and examine the horse. From
his size, color and general appearance, he would
appear to be very desirable as a stock horse and
with the strong pedigree which he has it is more
than probable that the larger part of his colts will
prove fast trOtters And the colts he has warrants
us in saying he is first-class stock horse
