Clever Office BOY.

There are few people who have ret

average office boy. Last week gentle
man in New \ ork, who had some friends
that were about to leave on an out-go
ing steamer, thought it would be n
graceful act to send them some flowers
at their departure. He explained the
matter TO his office boy, and told him
that he would leave the selection to his
judgment. He then accompanied his
friends to the steamer, and just as all
ashore was cried the Office boy rushed
up the gang plank, carrying two broken
columns. One bore the inscription,
we mourn your loss, and the other,

after his cattle. The storm came on
suddenly. and it was nearly three days

for meal for her husband, an she

CHAPTER Ill.

AN ARGUMENT AND AN ARRIVAL.
On the night when the down-train
carried the golden-headed child to Black
town, the Talberts had dined at home,
without company. The two men were
still at the table sipp ng their claret
and smoking ciga cites. They were
neither great drinking men nor great
smoking men, The dinner table was
most tastefully laid out. In spite of the
season being mid-winter, it was gay
with flowers. Quaint antique silver
spoons and forks did duty, and the
uapery was of the whitest and finest
description The polish on the glass
was such as to make the most careful
housewife or conscientious servant
wonder and envy.
The room in which the brothers were
sitting was furnished with bold mix
ture of modern and antique. Where
comfort and utility were the first con-
siderations, the modern prevailed;
where ornament or decoration had to
be suppl ed, the antique, often the gro
tesque antique, was called into requisi-
ton. On the high carved mantel piece
stood Oriental bronze vases with hideous
dragons creeping round them, and
gaping. grinning kylins. who looked
mockfngly and fearlessly at the fierce
monsters.

Food AM Euronnan Hotsl.

The amount of food supplied by ho-
tells in Europe Is not as great as with US
and there Is no waste. The only thing
that the guests have to eat In the morn
ing are rolls, with coffee, aud the break
fast, served at one o'clock, consists OF
three courses---frst, an omelet or some

with potatoes, concluded with the inev-
liable cheese and fruit For dinner
there Is Away, one kind Of soup and
fish, the next course being boiled beef
or mutton. rAuglaise---that is, with
few potatoes on the dish, followed by
some vegetable, served separately; then
occasionally another course Of meat or
pate, after which comes the chicken or
some other bird, with lettuce or lentil
salad. There is one kind Of dessert, a
pudding or an ice, pie and ice cream
being unknown, with which are served
small and dry cakes, and then comes
the cheese with nuts and fruit.
1t takes about an hour for this dinner
to be served, during which ones plate
is changed at least ten times, which
obliges hotel accommodating say $50
persons to havo at least 1900 dim or

that the guests will be prompt at din
ner, for it upsets the service in courses
