The Fun of Outdoor Life-NfOre Desirable
In Anticipation Than in Reality,
Camping parties are quite the rage
in California during the summer
months, owing to the absence of rain,
which makes them impossible or at
least ineSpedient in the more variable
climate of the East. That they conduce
to health and are the source of much
enjoyment is beyond doubt, but they
are attended by certain drawbacks, as
is shown by the following little domes-
tic scene:
This camping-out business" said
the young married man to his guests,
as the wife of his bosom anointed his
peeling nose with vaseline-"this
camping out is not what it's cracked
UP to be-"
"Have you been camping outp"
That's what they call it. There
Young men about town and myself.
We had to cook"
"Well, that's the benefit of having
wife; she--n
"S-shr' said the married man. The
young wife very suddenly looked sun
burnt. "She is young-and delicate
about cooking. We did the cooking"
"Wel Who's weP"
1.-THE other two fellows and myself.
We got some cold mutton and n
chicken-a spring chicken-spring of
80. The first question was to kill the
chicken. 1t sprang out of the wagon
every five minutes, and if its legs hadn' t
been tied we'd never have caught it, :"
"Well, that wasn't my fault, was
itP" broke out the young wife.
'My beloved darling, who said it
WASP We did not know what would
be the easiest death for that chicken to
die, SO we put it on fence and fired
at it for an hour with three revolvers
and Winchester rifle. That chicken
had a charmed life. 1t winked at the
bullets as they went @ast anywhere
from foot to hundred yards off. 1t
was no use: None of us could hit it.
so we got out an ak and chopped its
head off. Then it came to a question
of picking it. We tossed up a half
dollar as to who should do it. won
the toss-that is, l had to pick the
chicken. So / sat down on a fence
and this young lady sat opposite and
guyed me. The other two fellows
went fishing. For two mortal hours l
picked at that chicken. When l got
all the feathers off, there was nothing
left; so, as we didn't know how to
cook it anyway, we threw it away"
Good exercise that. Lots of fun. "
"Fun-well-never mind that. Then
the other fellows came home with
some trout. Cary here was set to
cook the fish. He's first-rate cook, he
is, oh yes! We were all hungry as
bears and we ate grass and things
while the cooking went on. When we
gathered around the fire, we found
chat Gary had forgotten to put any
butter or anything in the frying pan;
the fish all stuck to the bottom, and
we had to scrape as much as we could
with spoons. But that wasn't much,
and we lived on cold mutton for two
days. Oh, yes, camping out is great
fun. San francisco Chronicle.

MIDDLE AGE EEASTS.


Time When Forks We're Unknown and
Everybody Used the Same Napkin.
The more we study the history of the
middle ages, the more we are struck
by the immense amount of eating then
INDUCED in; not artistic, epicurean
eating either, but brutal consumption
of gross viands. One of the grandest,
most famous banquets mentioned in
Italian history was that given in the
Palazzo DELI ARENA at Milano, on the
10Th of June, 1868, on the occasion of
the marriage of Lionel Plantagenet,
Duke of Chiarenza, and son OF Edward
III. of England, to Violante Visconti,
daughter of Galeazzo ii, and of Blanche
of Savoy, his wife.
The intervals between the courses,
which in this instance, were eighteen
in number, were very long, and each
interval was filled up by amusements
of various kinds. Usually testers and
buffoons were introduced, but at this
grand wedding no vulgar fun was, adj
missble, and the old chronicle which
records the various courses adds that
each course was followed by its APP
propriate diversion. Thus, after the
two stewed sows and two roast stur-
geons, procession of pages filed
through the banquet hall, leading
superb hunting dogs ornamented with
velvet collars, to which were attached
copper chains and silken lashes.
Spoons and forks were noticeable by
their absence, the ieweled fingers of
the guests shone with grease and were
scented with garlic as they plunged
their hands into the dishes, tore the
viands apart and tossed the fragments
which remained under the table. 1t
was not in vain that the scalchi, or
carvers, continually went about the
tables bearing bowls of "odoriferous
waters and huge napkins. The use
of the individual napkin, by-the-bye,
was then unknown, nor were people
in the least fastidious as to soiling their
hands. Monsignor Della Casa, in his
famous ''Galatea," earnestly recon-
mends the lords and ladies of his time
not to ''grease their hands too much
when eating ITO put the whole
hand III the dish is quite unnecessary, "
he adds, naively.
On the other hand, the Reverend
San Pier Damiano inveighed against
the use of the fork, declaring it to be a
''diabolical piece of luxury" and he
severely censured the Dagaressa Teo-
daro Selvo for extravaganza and self
indulgence, because, in order to avoid
soiling her fingers, she used a golden
fork.-Ha1per's Bazar.

A Touching Incident.
IExchanee.l


The following touching incident is re-
corded of Madame Marie Roze, during
her s%ojourn in this country, and while on
a visit to Auburn prison, New York,
where she sang in the presence of nearly
all of its inmates, including upwards of
twelve hundred coDvicts.
On her arrival she desired to know If
all the prisoners were present, and being
answered in the negative, she requested
that ever those in solitary confinement
should, as a special privilege. be permit.
ed to come into the chapel and join the
other convicts in listening to the music
which she proposed to sing.
The request was accorded, and the
poor fellows, some of them for the first
time in many years, were permitted not
only To look once more on the face Of a
beautiful woman, but 20 hear again from
an accomplished artistic the sweet notes
that reminded them Of the innocent days
of youth.
The chief selections of Madame Roze
were Sweet Spirit, Hear my Prayer"
and The Sweet By and By" aud even
the most hardened criminals were stirred
to tears. After this the fair cantatrice
made a tour of the institution the pris-
oners meanwhile being retained in the
chapel. and on her return she sang the
old familiar air, Comm Thro' the
Rye"
The most intelligent of the convicts
prepared n testimonial of thanks, which
was duly signed and presented to the
lady 1t closed with the following quo
tation:
