English Good Cheer"

10 offer refreshments is the mos,
sacred rite of English hospitality. Til.
is peculiar to every class. Call on the
rich, and they offer wine and biscuit, nc
matter how short the stay. Call on the
poor, and they send out for ale or some.
thing stronger; or if temperance princi.
pies prevail, they bring forth tea and
bread and butter. In England they
know how to make tea. The sloppy
detection of tannin, out of which the
aroma of the herb has long since boiled
or simmered away, which in the Ameri-
can restaurant stands all day in burn
ished copper, is unknown in the land of
our forefathers. The poorest there will
have none other than cup of tea freshly
drawn. In England starvation and
sociability do not 20 hand in hand.
There, an evening gathering, whether
lmpromptu or premeditated, never
passes without the offer of refreshments.
1t is more convenient for the English
family to do this, for they have more
servants and better servants than we.
Their division of meals also enables
them the more conveniently thus to re-
fresh the caller. If the dinner be at 5,
tea and toast are brought in at Z, and
no inconvenience ensues from furnishing
the caller with an extra cup. The late
supper of meats, hot or cold, is set at 10
p. m. or half-past. The poorer classes
have but to send plate to the nearest
fish kitchen, and for sixpence bring
back sufficient fried sole and fried potac
toes for half dozen. A few pence more
buys the pitcher of ale. By IL o'clock
at night you may see the counters of
these fish kitchens lined three deep with
customers, plate in hand. Besides on
every side at this hour are other varie-
ties of cooked food served hot-such as
eel pies, kidney pies, roast potatoes,
ham and corned beef, soups and hot
sausages.
You learn the full meaning of the
term "Good Cheer in England. They
do not believe in talking on empty
or in going to bed with them.
My theory is that we might rival the
English ruddiness of complexion if we
ate as much and ate as often. With rs.
however, the opinion prevails that such
habits of eating, and especially eating
late at night, lead directly to dyspepsia. |

IS "strong drink" Yet In England |
millions of stout, sturdy people eat these |
late suppers during their whole lives and |
die at the usual good old age. And |

pretty strong country.-Prent;cs Mul-
