An Irish Dinner in 1YAz

Dlnner was generally served at 4 D. m.
1t was abundant to prOfusion. The wine,
were excellent, being the choicest pro
duce OF French and Spanish VINEYARDS
whose quality was remarked by almost
all visitors to Ireland; and the potationt
were, as at the same period in England
long and deep. Costly silver, handsome
glass and china, and the finest linen an
peared in all the better class houses. A
characteristic feature was the "Dotatd
eng. This was of silver, richly chased
and was used to support the great bowl
IN which potatoes were then brought
10 table. The sequence of courses diff
Tered widely from that now general.
Soups came in the third OF fourth place.
hsh, flesh and sweets jostled each other,
while potted meats and cold pasties were
not unfrequent items on the bill of fare.
For more accurate knowledge of what
our ancestors ate at their principal meal
we are indebted to a chronicler of the
time. In l747 she sends the following
menu OF dinner to her sister; the uuaint
spelling is retained: First course-Fisb.
beefsteaks, rabbit and onions, fillet OF
veal, blamange, cherries, Dutch cheese.
second course-Iurkey, pOut IpOult?L

possible. The invitation was to 'beef.

Concerning Hrhrnnl,o1,,o

4. Our knowledge concerning the condi-
tons under which the poison which
creates hlydrophobia acts has been some
,, mllat advanced by the recent expert
ments OF NJ. Galtier, Of Paris. ACCORDING
10 the experiments the dried virus has
lts poisonous properties DESTROYED in from
Iour to SIX days. On the other hand
earlier experiments Of the same savant
SHOW that an animal which has died of
rabies may retain the poison in that part
OF the brain called the medulla oblongata
I0r SIX or seven weeks. 1t is evident
That this fact may be Of importance i'm
cases where persons have been bitten bv
ANIMALS supposed to be rabid. If the body
Of the creature has been buried it NAV be
possible to exhume it after many days
and make experiments which will serve
to show whether danger from the wound
Is to be apprehended. In this wav un-
founded anxieties may be allayed. Pop

The people Of Salt Lake City are con-
templating the erection of a great "SaIt
Palace. 1t would be a structure that
would lay in the shade all the ice and
corn palaces ever constructed. The main
part OF the structure could be of the finest
specimens of rock salt to be found in tbo
quarries, chiseled, carved and artisticaIIv
arranged; while the interior fittings
should be Of crystallized work from tfe
lake on grand scale. Such n Dalace
should be permanent if properly pro
tected from the winter rains: it could he

ELECTRIC Ere indicators

Electric heat indicators, consisting Of
thermometers incased and protected by
IRON tubes, provided with platinum wires,
and connected with a system of electric
bells and indicators on deck, are the
latest invention for preventing spon-
taneous combustion among ship cargoes.
Should any undue heat arise in any part
OF the cargo, the mercury in the ther-
mometers will rise, make contact with
the platinum wire, and give an instan-
taneous alarm on deck, Indicating at
the same time the exact spot where the
heat exists.-New York Telegram.
