Queer Facts About London.

The population of London is sheltered
by $50, 600 dwelling houses, and the area
of streets and squares embraces 122
square miles. Every day sees an average
of 100, 900 strangers enter the city, and
1913 persons added to the population;
while each year about twenty-eight miles
of new streets are laid out, and 5000
new houses erected. There are 100, 900
paupers, upon whom 10, 700 police keep
close eye. The population includes
100, 900 foreigners, more Roman Catho-
lies than there are in Rome, and more
Jews than there are in Palestine. Two
thousand clergymen preside over $50
churches and 423 chapels, of which lat
ter buildings the Independents have 121,
the Baptists 100, the Wesleyans seventy
seven, the Catholics ninety, the Calvin
lists ten, the Presbyterians ten, the
Quakers seven. and the Jews ten. The
number of cats kept by the people is so
large 600, 600 that "cat's meat" is daily
delivered at the majority of houses. The
5000 horses that die each week are util-
lied to meet this demand.

The Value OF Ciyility.

Life is made up of little things, and
the neglect of the small courtesies of
life is the foundation of misery in mar
ried existence, is the cause of waning
friendships, and the destruction of the
happiest homes. Many IA serious and
life long arrangement has begun, not
from want Of affection so much as from
lack of that delicate and instructive APP
probation of the feelings of others
which makes person shrink from say
ing unpleasant things or finding fault,
unless absolutely obliged, and in any case
to avoid wounding the offenders sense
of dignity, or stirring up within him
feelings of opposition and animosity.
Many persons profess to be above taking
offence at honest censure, and even seem
to court criticism, yet it must be very
carefully administered not to be unpala
table. Even kind and generous actions
are often so uncouthly performed as to
cause more pain than pleasure, while a
reproof or denial may be so sweetened by
courtesy as also to do away with any
sense of modification or disappointment.
Good breeding is always inclined to form
favorable judgment, and to give Others
the credit of being actuated by worthy
motives. -HedrthStOne.

An Abyssinian Feast.

A wedding feast is like all banquets in
this country, more or less composed of
the Abyssinian piece de resistance-raw
flesh. If you should happen to be seated
near the open door on these occasions
you may see this course prepared. An
OK is brought into the compound and his
throat is skillfully cut. Before the ami
NAL has fairly breathed his last skinning
is commenced. the stomach taken out,
and the flesh cut into long strips, and
brought in with the animals heat still in
it to the hungry and impatient guests,
who devour it, not like wild beasts, but
use knives of all kinds from daggers or
swords to pocket knives. The consumer
of this delicacy takes one end of the
strip or string of meat into his
mouth, placing it between his
teeth. In his left hand he
holds the meat bodily, and with his right
gives drawing cut with his sabre from
left to right through the meat, severing
it close up to his lips, and so hunks his
meal away. This mode of feeding re-
quires some practice, and has its in6on-
veniences, especially to people with long
noses and thirst for strong drink; for
it is generally sign that when noses
begin to suffer cutaneous losses from q
too close proximity to dagger or sabre
that the hosts tedge native drink has
been both plentiful and strong, To
flavor the otherwise insipid taste of raw
flesh large quantities of red pepper are
consumed, ground up with fat into q
paste, and larded over the Wand. Abys.
sinians are quaint in their food, if not
nasty; for some pure ox-gall from the
freshly killed animal serves as a picquante
to curry made out of its intestines
Milk is never used fresh from the cow
but it is always taken sour, made so by
never washing the utensil in which it is
kept. -Ehglish Illustrated Magazine.

The Fool Killer In China.

Pekin, and ordained that it should be re-
served for the exclusive use of passen-
gers who, by way of toll, should cast a
number of taels into the stream beneath

than any one of the other hundred and
odd bridges of Pekin, but many rich
mandarins, from sheer love of ostenta-
ton, did not fail to use it and pay toll to
the river.
Their names were carefully noted by
an obsequious attendant, and at the end
of a month their estates were confiscated
in accordance with the precept of Con-
fucius "IIe vino makes foolish use of
his fortune is not worthy to possess it."
