Craze for Variety I'm Dict.

There is a positive virtue In a certain
amount Of routine in diet, and a positive
sacrifice Of happiness Inc the continual
craze for variety. One falls into q way Of
looking forward pleasurably to a dinner
to 1t with a kind of eagerness-provided,
of course, 1t does not come too often. The
people who live TO n great age generally
account for it by the regularity Of their
life. M. de Chevreul takes his two boiled
eggs for breakfast every morning of his
life, and, for all anybody knows TO the
contrary. has taken them every morning
since he was of age-which was just
eighty one years ago. The Listener"
has never noticed that the people who
eat certain dishes with unfailing regular.
ity seem to enjoy them any less than other
people do who pick and haggle over a bill
Of fare every day, looking YEARLY for
something new
Not every person Is born with the gift
to be al epicure; and the mass of US who
were not born with that gift had better
adapt ourselves to a cheerful and com
Portable routine. Even the born e~picures
are seldom happy. II they could always
get just what they wanted to eat, and
were not made miserable by the cooking
of at least two meals out of three, they
would not be happy, because good diges-
ton seldom waits on highly accomplished
palates. II was Brillat Savarin, the lis

The People of British Honduras.

The lower classes Of people in our coun-
try are In better circumstances than those
Of the corresponding class in this country.
| have just made a trip down the Illinois
and Mississippi rivers to St. Louis, and |
find people at nearly all points living in
miserable huts along the river banks and
In dirty novels built on fat boats. Such
things are not seen In British Honduras.
The working classes make a comfortable
living, apparently without great exertion.
The principal product of the country now
IS the banana. Formerly Honduras was
a great sugar producing country, and
large areas of land were devoted TO rails
ing sugar cane, but owing to low prices
the crop became Improbable and the
farmers have nearly all turned their at
tention TO the cultivation of bananas.
Plantains and cocoanuts also flourish
there. Lemons and oranges are c~ultivat-
ed to a very limited extent, and the
Indians in the interior of tho country
raise some corn.
The banana crop, however, is the chief
source Of revenue in the country, and IL
is a very profitable crop. The larger
number Of INHABITANTS Of British Hon
duras are Scotch people, who have settled
there and are doing well. There are also
quite a number of Americans and people
OF other countries in the state. The prov
ince Is a small one and is surrounded on
three sides by Spanish Honduras, Guate.

Cost Of Killing q Man.

1t doesn't cost so very much to kill men
In the west. OF course you cannot cut or
shoot q man down with impunity, and
murder is sometimes as severely punished
there as 1t is anywhere else; but what /
mean TO say Is that 1t doesn't cost much
to kill a man by accident. You frequently
hear of cave ms In mines or fractured
skulls by falling down wines or shafts,
and the thought that comes to you natur-
ally Is that the mine owners have to pay
$4,000 or $40, 600 damages. That isn't SO.
A shot while ago four men were killed In
q mine near Leadville. They were ltal-
ians, and the widows or families Of the
men were more than delighted to receive
$1,000 and the funeral expenses. In the
same mine more than ten men have been
killed, and never more than 81, 900 has
been paid. The plan in the west, when a
man Is killed In a mine and the company
Is somewhat to blame, Is to go right to
the heirs and make a settlement. Most
of the laborers are Italians, and their
people take 81, 900 as quickly as it is Of
fered.-A. J. Gray in Globe Democrat.

PATHS Uncomplimentary Audience.

When Adellna Patti first sang here-I
think 1t was in lSS1-she sent over "a
manager a man utterly ignorant Of the
country and its customs, a Frenchman
who scarcely understood a word Of Eng
lish. The tickets were sold at $40 apiece,
but the sales were few. and the evening
or Pattls hrst appearance, or rather the
afternoon. arrived without more than q
few rows Of seats sold In Steinway hall.
At the last moment 1t became evident
that II Patti was not to sing to an array
of empty benches, either the price Of the
tickets must be reduced three-quarters or
they must be given away. To reduce the
price after having sold some tickets at
xl0 would have been a concession CT fail
ure and something Of al aggravation to
those who had paid $40. So 1t was whis-
pered about that reputable persons who
wanted Patti concert tickets could have
them for nothing by applying at the box
office. Immediately a descent was made
by ell the habitues of Fourteenth street.
Every office boy, every waiter in the
neighborhood who could beg or steal q
sheet OF writing paper sent in an applica-
ton for seats, signing any name which
might be thought effective.
The collection Of letters upon which
some hundreds Of tickets were given out
that afternoon has been preserved as q
curiosity. One boy brought a letter ask
ing for four seats, signed by the duke Of
Harlem, and got them. The mayor Of
Long Island, Of New Jersey, the president
Of Brooklyn and q number of other high
officers wholly unknown In real life got
tickets. Before evening the boys aleng
Fourteenth street had their pockets full
Of Patti tickets, which were hawked
about at so cents apiece. The effect upon
the business was. Of course, disastrous.
and Nine. Patti had to give up her con
certs In disgust. ] shall never forget the
face Of the famous prima donna as she
gazed upon that audience in Steinway
hall. Instead OF the elite Of the town in
dress coats and white chokers, silks and
satins, the front row were filed with
persons who had evidently never pos
sessed dress coats In their lives. 1t was
oil that Patti could do to keep back her
tears Of Indignation .-Philip q. Hubert,
Jr., in The Epoch.

Oatmeal as n Food.

Many of the keepers Of big groceries In
this city tell Of the large extent to which
oatmeal is used as an article of diet. In
thousands Of families a plate or a bowl Of
oatmeal porridge, which ought to be Of
the best quality, well boiled. and taken
with cream, is TIE first thing at breakfast.
The children are apt to be very fond of 1t.
1t is wholesome, nutritious and advan-
tageous to the digestion. 1t is surprising
that more people do not learn how to pre-
pare for the breakfast table oatmeal
cakes, those thin, crisp, most excellent
biscuits which one finds in all households
in Scotland, and which ought to be eaten
with fresh milk. They are easily made,
worth making, possess most Of the merits
of porridge, and are a desirable change
from it at times. The Scotch are also
Large consumers of peasemeal, which they
make into bannocks or brose, good for
hungry people and racy to the taste.
When the wheat crop is short and -four is
dear, both GA tmeal and peasemeal might
be used to advantage in more American
families than have ever tried them.-New
