Warren Hastings Cruelty.

From the collateral morsels plucked
from the famished NOUS of hundreds
of decayed, INDECENT, and starving no
bility, he gorged his ravenous NAV
with 50, 600 per day for his entertain
ment. In the course of all this pro-
ceeding your lordships will not fail to
observe he is never corrupt, but he is
cruel he never dimes with comfort, but
where he is sure to create famine.
He never robs the superiority of
standing greatness; he devours the
fallen, the INDECENT, the necessitoua
His extortion is not like the generous
rapacity of the princely eagle, who
snatches the living, struggling prey
he is vulture, who feeds upon the
PROSTATE, dying, and the dead,
AS his cruelty is more shocking than
his corruption, so his hypocrisy has
something more frightful than his
cruelty; for while his bloody and
rapacious hand signs prescriptions, and
now sweeps away the food of the widow
and the orphan, his eyes overflow with
tears, and he converts the healing balm
that bleeds from wounded humanity
into rancorous and deadly poison to
the race of men.-Ednaal7sd Burke

An InsOIent Ticket Seller.

The insolence of the ticket seller and
man of cash, when he has his little mis-.
take in making change brought to his
attention, is an old topic, but the fresn
instances are apt to be interesting.
The listener came across striking case

one of the railroads that leads on. that
wav and bought ticket in some haste.
He gathered up his change, as there
were others in line, and counted it after
he had got away from the window.
The fare to the place where he was go-
ing is $3.50; he had given the ticket
seller five-dollar bill, and had received
$3.50 in change! Looking at his watch
he saw that he had just about time
enough to fall into the line and have
the mistake rectified. Making his way
up to the window again, he said to the
ticket-seller:
"You made mistake just now in Civ
ing me change for ticket to"
The ticket-seller put on his most ap-
proved Mr.. Hyde expression, and
said:
"Can you read?"
"A little"
"What does it say on that sign over

Eating in Olden Times.

1t was late In the fourteenth century
when the first evidences of art in the
shape of silver cups were noticeable on
the buffet, says the Wonaan's World
The dishes were made of pewter or
wood, and spoons of bone, wood, or sill
yer. Knives were rare, and on that &C.
count guests invited to feasts carried
their own knives. Forks came in gen.
eral use still later, and for long years
after their introduction they were con-
sidered ridiculous afectation and fop-
perry, and not nearly so convenient as
ones own fingers The lord and his
lady dipped their fingers into the same
plate and slipped their wine from the
same cup. Even the queenly Eliza
beth, with all her elaborate ideas of ETH
quette, was content to carry her food to
her mouth with her fingers, and at first
despised the newly invented fork as un.
seemly and awkward.
Very gradually the dining-hall grew
in comfort and splendor. Dishes Of
gold and silver were made, and so eager
were the mobiles for them that they
would sacrifice anything to possess
them. The salt cellar was for long
time the article of highest Importance
on the board. It was great affair,
and stood directly in the center of the
table; it was the dividing line; the
mobiles were seated above the salt, the
commoners below; hence grew the
prcverb, "Below the salt" The pass
ing of salt was a ceremonious custom,
the guest throwing q pinch over his
left shoulder and murmuring q bless
ing.
The salt cellars were of the most
curious devices. Sometimes they repre-
sented huge animals, sometimes q great
full.blown flower on q long, slender
stem, and they were in the shape of
chariot, mounted on four wheels, on
which they were easily run down the
table.
The first glass cups came from
Venice during the sixteenth century,
and from that time on society began to
lose many of it's primitive ways, and be-
come, In sense, more refined. /,
Henry VIII. was born with luxurious
tastes; he had his banquet chairs sup
piled with velvent 0shions, and about
this time the parlor or talking room"
a. it was called, was introduced; and
here the DANES took refuge when the
dinner advanced beyond prudent limits,
as it invariably did before the finish.
The cook that presided over the
kitchen IN those days was not the
counterpart of our nineteenth century
Bridget, but he was an artist, and gem
orally man OF quality. The ladies of
the household, even those of noble
birth, attended to many domestic duties,
making the bread, preserving the fruits,
while to understand the proper use Of
starch was considered great accom-
plishment

THE MOST INTERESTING AGE l.
WOMAN.

WOMAN.
"What is the most interesting age in
woman?" was question recently dis.
cussed by an artist, an author, and a
woman of society. The artist said that
he did not like to paint the portrait OF
those between the ages of Is and 40
years. Before Is the face has an ex-
pectancy which charms. It is looking
forward with joyous freshness and hope
and is full of puzzling promises. At
40 years the character is formed, and
the lines of the countenance are strong
for the painters study: but in interven-
ing years the face has lost it's expect
ancy, is apt to be Indifferent, and has
no particular interest. The author off
ferd from the artist He liked to study
women between the ages of 80 and 40.
They had then the experience of the
world and the joyousness of youth. In
these years they were brightest and most
interesting. The society woman
thought that it was impossible to make
general answers to the question, as in
diyidual women differ in regard to the
most attractive age. Some are most
charming at 60 years, while others have
passed their prime at 20. The best
answer would be that women are al
ways beautiful to the friends that love
them.
