Grammar in Rhyme.

valuable matter as the following lines

Every little grammarian just entering
upon the mysteries of syntax, will find
it highly advantageous to commit the

many a ''black mark" will be avoided,
for with these lines at the tongues end
one need never mistake a part of speech.

Fashions In Food.

At several recent public ana private
dinners in this city, more or less
"swell" III their character, there was
no sight nor smell ofpie or pudding.
1t was not for lack of variety. for there
were seven or eight courses. But
these old.fashioned Injuries, that for
a long time have stood SO close to the
necessities that you could hardly tell
one from the other, are passe--out OF
se,-worsc than that, vulgar p
We can only reconcile this with the
fact stated by Miss Parloa, as men'
toned last week,-that lessons in
puff paste draw larger crowds than
lectures on bread,-by remembering
that there are different fashions OF llv-
ing as there are of dressing.
But Fashion begins at the top and
works down and when the mode
makers declare war upon pies and
puddings, irrespective of their virtue
or excellence, it is time to resist the
tickle jade, and to demand in the
language Of the poet: "Are things
what they seem, or is visions about !"
Ifit were the leathery pies of the
eating-houses, or the dyspepsia-breed-
ers of the ambitious young house
keeper who hasn't learned her pro-
fessiou, or the mysterious puddings OF
the clearinghouse, one need not
lament. But to have the pies OF ones
boyhood-the puddings Of his grand
mother-go out Of fashion, is an event
that makes one desp,se CIVILIZATION
The delicate, crisp, brown pastry and
toothsome filing blended into pie by
the artist-hand of the wife Of your
bosom, consigned 20 the limbo OF lost
goodies, because, forsooth, dame
Fashion thinks she can make better
show with picked olives, four kinds
of fancy cheese, each outsmelling the
other, and lot of unsubstantial and
stomach. chilling ices i The idea Is
absurd. Let the dlettan.i dinners of
both sexes, with their qualmish stom'
achs and pampered palates, keep up
the search after new sensations for
their dulled tastes. Let them strain
at the pastry gnats and swallow the
alcoholic camels, reject the generous
pudding and insult their gastric juices
with digettion-defyiug compounds uu-
der higA-soanding names. But they
will find that some of the old.tashion.
ed dishes can't be banished by On
edict. While Thanksgiving enduyes
and Christmas comes once aiyear, pies
and puddiugs will remain.-[Golden

Stories OF Prof. Morse.

When Morse, the father Of the tele.

Nassau and Beekman streets, New
York, Samuel Colt, the inventor OF the
revolver, was friend Of the electrician.
Colt had his mind full Of torpedo for
the defense OF the coast, which was 10

Morse had the wires and battery, the
dabbler in torpcdoes found his ncccsga-
ry machinery ready at hand. On one
occasion, when Morse was absent, AN
experiment was TO be tried on the roof
of the house, with "A slight charge OF
powder, which was 10 be confined under

tells this story was then mere lad,
light of weight, and was exactly the
convenient resisting medium which Colt
wanted. II was agreed that the boy
should stand on the box while the pow

were completed, and the lad stood on
the box, Prof. Morse appeared, who
took in the situation at glance. Stop

IL YOU want 10 try the experiment,
jump up in his place" There is not

said Colt, "but, am agreed. ! will get
up in the boys place. Professor, do
you touch the key" Touch the key
did Morse. An explosion followed, and
it was all Colt could do, who was man
OF large build, 10 prevent himself being
hurled over into the street below. If
the boy had stood there, he would have

was evident that then Prot. Morse
knew that explosions were intensified
in accordance with the means employed
TO fire peculiar substances, and must
have had an inkling OF the effects OF
what is now called the yibra,ory inAu.
ence on detonAting substances. "Oucc,"
