just now when perhaps the cheapen-
ing Of living is of more Importance,
temporarily at least, than the most
finished craftsmanship, the example of
q man up in Massachusetts who had
been snbsisting and performing the
average work that farmers in the rocky
soil of the Bay State usually perform,
on one meal per diem, may Oe regarded
as an interesting exhibit, if not exam
pie, of what may be accomplished in
himself with un-Yankeelike slowness
at table, the probability is that the
weight of food consumed does not
amount to more than that furnished 10
and carried away in dyspeptic shape
by the average individual at the thirty
minutes-for refreshment railroad sta
tions. Yet it is within the possibility
that a man who has evidently devoted
so considerable attention to dietary
affairs may have so systematized the
habit and necessity as to have built out
OF them science and art, in which case
it is not beyond belief that he has
demonstrated that in eating, or in
many other things, the truth of the
adage 1.-THE more haste the less speed"
holds pre-eminently true. However, as
to the quality it is fair TO believe that
it is not so large by onc-half as what
he would have eaten had he continued
n thrice-meal-a-day man. His theory
WAS at the outstart that man consumed
more food than necessary, and really
more than is conducive to health, and
he seems to have proven this.-IfuS-

In Old London.

Except the dealers who kept stalls on
Chepe, Ga great open market-place in
the old days. the city men of the Mid
die Ages lived at their places of busi-
ness. We can get fair idea from
"Fitz Alwyne's Assize' (the first Met
ropolitan Building act promulgated
119l, by the first Lord Mayor of Lon
dom of what an ordinary master arti-
ticcr's house was like in the thirteenth
and fourteenth centuries. Itwas neith-
er very large nor very commodious.
The party walls were of stone, ) feet
thick and Is feet high. From them the
roof, made of tiles, or in old houses of
thatch, ran up to Il point forming a ga
BILE toward the street. The rain, run
ming down the slant of the roof into a
gutter made along the top OF the wall,
was discharged from projecting spout
into the Kennel, unless the head of a
passer-by happened to intercept the
stream. The front and back were till
cd with timber and plaster. Joists at a
height of eight feet from the ground
supported the floor of the upper and
the ceiling of the lower story. The
''SOlar," aS the first floor was called,
was probably entered, like modern
hayloft, by ladder through hole in
the floor. The ground floor was used
as one room, or divided into several,
according to the size of the house and
the needs of its inhabitants. Glass was
scarcely known in dwelling houses at
the commencement of this period, and
the windows were simply holes guard
Ell by iron bars and closed at night by
shutters. But before the end of Ed
ward III s reign glass windows of lat
tice work were common. Chimneys

doners generally did not adopt till
about the beginning OF the fourteenth
century. A movable stall. jutting out
into the street, formed an amen Ia the
frout grUunu-ttoor room, anu provided
a shop window, behind which the unas-
ter and his apprentice could work at
their craft and keep watch over their
wares at the same time. A cellar,
reached by steps from the outside. e1-
isted under most OF the houses. Reeds
on the floor and whitewash ON the walls
were usually the only internal decora-
tions of what TO our modern notions
must have been an extremely squslid
comfortless abode-a mere hut.-Ihe

method of divining whether girl will

a tumbler of water from stream
which runs southward; borrow the
wedding-ring of some gude-wife and
suspend it by hair of your head over
the glass of water. holding the hair be-
tween the finger and thumb. If the
ring hit against the side of the glass,
the holder wilk die an old maid; if it
turn quickly around, she will be mar
ried once; if slowly, twice. Should
the ring strike the side of the glass
more than three times after the holder
has pronounced the name of her lover,
there will be lengthy courtship and
nothing more; ''she will be courted to
dead, as they say in Lincolnshire; if
less frequently, the affair will be brok-
en- of. and if there is no striking at all
1t will never come on. Or if you look
at the first new moon of the year

pass before your marriage. Would you
ascertain the color of your future hus-
bands hair? follow the practice of the
German girls. Between the hours of
II and II at night on ST. Andrews
Eve, a maiden must stand at the house
door, take hold of the latch, and say
three times, Gentle love, if thou lowest
me, show thyself." She must then
open the door quickly and make
rapid grasp through it into the dark
ness, when she will find in her hand a
lock of her future husband hair

young lady, and unless he happens to

says he likes quick trading, and has a

to become 'scalper" for the excite

George was in the room stranger

tone about some commonplace thing.
Then the broker stepped out ON the
floor and offered 1000 shares OF stock j

applied dynamite to his stable, and blew it to
atoms. They found boycotting Intellectual,
hence they attempted to blow him up Dyna-
mite is the next step after boycotting. All
such opposition to the saloon interest must be
silenced one way or another. The present
stage of the opposition in Indianapolis is to
resist taxation by buying votes. Other stages
will follow in their turn, and how soon will
depend much upon the majority that is against
them at the coming election.

in business, not many years ago, with an in
debtedness of $60,000 and assets amounting
mean enough to bring this bit of history. up

THE President might fairly say to the
Maine Democrats who are so hungry for
Offices that they should make an honest effort
to carry their State and take the edge off their
appetite with the local Offices, instead of lying
down and letting Mr.. Blaine walk over them,
as they did last year.-Boston Herald, Mug
wump.
After all the praises which the esteemed
Herald has been showering upon the Presi-
dent for non-interference with local politics,
this suggestion is, to say the least. inconsist-
emit. And, besides, the Herald should reflect
that Mr.. Cleveland is helping to carry States
for Republicans and not Democrats this year.
