Eating Horse Meat,

To becutinto big steaks and served
AS fillct of becfat IL dinner at the
Philadelphia club was the fate OF
Pandora, the famous stceplecllaser.
Pandora was shot because of incur;l-
bic lameness. After she had died
without astrugglc the choicest meat
was cut from her bones and taken
to thecuisinc ofthe philadelphia club,
where the chief was sworn to secrecy
and the meat was disguised us joint

bought Pandora thirteen years ago,

read "Filet IL H. Pandora" Nobody
knew except DIR. Huidekopcr that the
course was IL part of poor old Pan
lora's body. The guests supposed
the dish was named in honor of the
old steeplechaser, whom they had
seen take ditch and fence and come
in the winner of many an exciting
race. After the filct had been eaten
and pronounced very toothsomc by
the guests DIR. Huidckopcr remarked
that he was glad of his gnests'
appreciation of his favorite horse
for" he snid, you have just caten

The guests looked Mt cnch other in
amazemcnt, and after a short interval
of deathly silence there was n roar
of laughter. Then in an instant
every one seemed to remember Pan.

meet, and in revcrential silence the
company rose to their feet, lifted their
glasses to their lips and slipped in
solemn silence to the memory Of
the old gray mare they had just

A Picture Of Medieval England.

The differences of costume which
distinguished the different ranks and
classes Of society in the streets
kept constantly before the eye u rep
resentation of the various clements
which made up the population of the
town, and gave wonderful pi9tur-
csqueness to econstantly-changing
groups. Amidst acknowledgement
majority of respectable burgesses in
their gowns, and of mechanics in
their courtpies, it was easy to, dis
tinguish the bailiffs coming ont OF
the Moot Hall by their fur gowns,
and the Jews of Stockwell Street by
the yellow badges on their breftsts;
and when Lord Fitzwalter rode into
town from Lexden, it was in the dress
of a nobleman, and with o couple of
serving men behind him. The Fran
ciscans in couples begged from door
to door in grey gown, grit with q
cord, and with sandalled feet. The
Austin Cannons wore the black cas-
sock and cloak oftheir order. 1t was
not easy to distinguish the rectors
and cllaplains from the graver sort
of burgesses, for they wore gowns of
much the same fashion and color.
and sometimes incurred the censure of
their archdeacons by wearing gay
girdles, and even daggers in their
girdles. 1t was seldom that IL monk
of st. Johns was seen outside the
cloister, and then he would probably
beam officer of the Abbey on his way
to one of it's oranges; but the lord
abbot would ride by sometimes OIL
hi Stumbling mule, attended byacoup-
lie ofchnplains and half u dozenserv-
ing men. As night came on, the
streets were deserted, and only n
lamps burning before the altar,
making the painted windows of the
church dimly visible, helped the be-
lated burgess to recognize his way to
his home through the dark street,
and q rushlight lighted him earlyto
his bed. 1t was o simpler, homclier
harder life than that of the people
who live within the same walls and
tread the same streets, and it had
not the weary toll and fierce competi-
tions ofmodern life. Men lived their
life out then without going beyond
the walls ofthe borough, execptforan
occasional holiday within the libcr-
ties; but within those limits they
found strongly marked varieties Of
human character.

Noral, Read Your bldg.

From the New York Sun.
An old acquaintance of Tom Ochil-
tree told q characteristic story about
that celebrated man which a group
ofpoliticians listened to with interest.
"1t was about 1856 or 1885," he
said; "when the Indians were raiding
the Texas frontier, that o company
called the Texas Rangers was formed
Tor thepurpose offighting the redskins
and driving them from the border.
Tom dnd grew UP together, and
once on a Fourth ofJuly he delivered
the Grafton and one of our chronies
read the Declaration of Independence.
Toms father was an eminent lawyer
down there and wns called Buffalo
Head, because of the large thinking
box he carried above his shoulders.
He was a Wing leader, and several
times was his party's candidate for
governor, but was always defeated.
"Tom joined the rangers, and just
before he started with them for tho
frontier his fathcr-who was not q
notably pious man, however-handed
tho young fellow q bible.
""Take this bible, Tom,' said the
old gentleman, and it won't do you
any harm to read it sometimes
'The young ranger thanked his ia
tiler for the gift, and soon left with
his company for the front. Tho
rangers 1Are about nine months in
the service when they returned.
When Toms father met the lad he
said:
"'Well, Tom, I suppose you read
your bible while you were out thcre?'
"'Yes, father, replied the young
soldier, 'and l have brought it back
with me-
"Judge Ochiltree took the book
and opened the pages picked out q
$40 bill and put it in his pocket,
while Tom looked on in utter aston
ishment and cllagrin. Then turning
the leaves over the old gentlemen
took out two other 500 bills, which
he also put in his pocket. just what
TOMS thoughts were can well be i'm
agincd. During the latter part of
his services on the road he hadn't n
cent, and was obliged to deny himself
many mental and physical comforts
which, without money, were unob-
tainable."
