Eliza Archard contribute, to the Cincim-

article against tailor-made clothes for
women and in the same article recommends
corsetS for men. Eliza is half-right, and
only haIf-right: right as 10 the first half of
her general proposition. What she intends
to do, when her ship comes in, is outlined
as follows:
We shall raise roses and chickens and straw
berries. and Aldrrney cream. Ii Is my old
dream. You perceive. But there i another

A Baronial Household.

We have an account, written in ISL,
of the household Of Henry Percy, Earl
of Northumberland, in his Yorkshire
castles of Wressel and Leckenield.
The number of attendants who lived
permanently in the house was 160, be-
sides those who were ell ployed outside.
Amongst them were officials of every
sort, including eleven chaplains, and
complete choir to sing the service daily.
Tie daily occupations of each were mi
nutely regulated, and the system OF
accounts was carefully prescribed. The
various aticles Of provision for this vast
household were estimated for the year
to amount to 2. 116 quarters of wheat,
124 bgllocks, ca sheep, ten tons OF
Gascon wine, and so on in proportion,
The meat was generally eaten salted,
and needed 160 gallons OF mustard to
make it palatable. OF course the num-
Der of the household does not include
guests. Every day something like
three hundred must have been fed az
the castle. At six O'Clock all attended
service in the chapel, after which they
breakfasted off beef and ale. At ten
NiuiiCif AOuA DNRtSA 'eAN
at nine O'Clock all retired to rest. The
household of great noble gave train
ing in business habits, in which our
forefathers were as proficient as men OF
the present day. In fact, their ordina-
ry occupations were so few that they
gave great attention to the regulation
of the minor matters of daily life.
The Earl OF Northumberland, how
ever, was one amongst few in the
greatness of his establishment and in
his magniicence. Even he had few
comforts, as we should reckon; and
when he moved from one of his castles
to another, all his furniture was carried
with him. The rough walls were hung
with tapestry, which was suspended
from hooks. Food though plentiful,
was coarse, and furniture was plain.
There was little privacy in the grim
fortresses which the great inhabited.
Two or three rooms were set apart for
the use of the family and their guests;
the rest were small chambers for hold |
ing stores and providing sleeping room
for the host of attendants.

4 Hotel for Dogs,

A very kind la1y went from Boston
to live in little town in Nebraska. Ii
Is very cold there in winter. The lady
felt very sorry for all the cats and dogs
that had to sleep out of doors. When
sine saw a stray one about her yard at
night she would call it In. and give it a
nice, warm bed behind the kitchen
stove. On some cold nights she would
have half dozen lying asleep. So her
lodging house came to be very well
known and barked about.
One bitter cold night, while they
were having blizzard, the lady and her
son Louis sat by their CHEEKY parlor
fire. All at once they heard loud
scratching at the door. Louis opened
1t, and there stood "Rowdy," a dog
who had lodged there before. With
him were two dog friends. whom he
tried to introduce. He said, as well as
he could, "PIease give my friends shell
ter. 1t is bitter night, and they have
no place to sleep"
"Rowdy" did not try to come in, but
looked first at the dogs ani then at
Louis in pitiful way. The boy asked
his mother what he should do. The
lady came 10 the door, and looking at
the dogs said to "Rowdy:"
"No, 'RowJy.' your friends have
warm, shaggy coats on, and our beds
are about full. They must 60 to some
other hotel. But your hair is very
short and thin, and you are very cold.
You may come in and 60 to bed"
"Rowdy" turned around and seemed
to explain to his friends how it was.
They quietly walked of the piazza,
while "RowIy" came in and went to
bed, where he lay tucked up in Durlaps
till morning.

In u Chinese Restaurant.

Chairs were placed around the large
table, and Wong superintended the
bringing IN of five large bowls with
steaming contents. "Now, gentlemen,
he said, 'let US sit down"-and down
We sat. Upon the table before each
one was placed pair of chopsticks-
and nothing else. Besides the bowls
and the chopsticks the cloth held
nothing. No plates, no cups, nc
knives, no forks, no salt, no pepper,
no water, no tea, no potatoes. Nothing
but the steaming bowls out of all reach
and those ridiculous sticks. Then the
walters brought in four small bowls
filed with rice wine. and placed before
each diner a minute pottery dIpper,
if may SO describe a miniature bowl
with a handle running off at an angle
of 45 degrees. In this bowl reposed
little cup, the rim OF which was
about the size of a 2.cent piece.
Each one under Wong's direction
lifted up the little cup and dipped it
full of wine, replacing it in the dipper,
The wine was very like very strong
port, and was the only liquid on the
table. Some little practice is required
to manipulate properly the Chinese
substitute for knife and fork, especially
when there are no plates used, and the
track of the food from the bowls in the
centre tC the guests mouth was marked
by line of grease splashes upon the
cloth, The center bowl contained a
soup of peculiar flavor. Two of the
others contained what was really fric.
asseed chicken. In the other two were
curried chicken, and a mixture of some.
thing like escalloped oysters with SOUP
and mushrooms. The popularity Of
the whole repast was its high Favored
condition. Everything was spiced to
the topmost notch, and the throats oi
the Caucasians cracked in their re.
proaches against their owners. The
chicken was cooked bones and all.
The bones, by some unknown process,
were softened and mashed till they
gave as little trouble to the esophagus
as do those OF the sardine.
The dinner did not come In regular
course, but when we seemed TO have
had enough of one thing Wong would
send the bowl away and replace 1t with
something else. Several varieties oi
Chinese vegetables and fish made their
appearance and were sampled with
great interest. Something with an I'm.
pronouneable name, but which was re
ally fish-tripe, was voted q great deli
cacy, and lobster, prepared in peculiar
way, was also q gastronomic success.
The soup contained a great variety oi
strange vegetables, among them d dark
green sea moss. Instead of our sail
there was provided small dishes of a
liquid prepared from beans and which
the purpose. Then small
puddings OF white rice -four cunnlngly
designed to represent an opening flower
were found to contain a sweet interior
Of beans and molasses, or some sweet
substance. Bowls OF rice were brought
In, but it was eaten hot and dry with
out milk or sugar, which accompani- |
ments are thought by the celestials to
spoil both rice and tea.
