Profusion and Simplicity.

Strange fashions are not confined to
our own age or country. Holinshcd. the
famous and amusing chronicler of the
Sixteenth century, comments severely
upon the manners of the English of his
day. He tells us that sin number of
dishes and changes of meat the nobility
of England (whose cooks are for the
most part Frenchmcn and foreigners) do
most exceed; till there is no day in man.
her that passeth over their heads where
i'll they have not only beef, mutton, veal,
lamb, kid, pork, cony, capon, pig, or so
many of them as the season vieldeth, but
also some portion of the red and fallow
deer, besides variety of fish and wild
fowl, and thereto sundry other delicates
wherein the sweet hand of tho sea faring
Portingale is not wanting, so that for q
man to dine with ono of them and to
taste of every dish that standeth before
him, is rather to yield unto conspiracy
with q great deal of meat for the speedy
suppression of natural health than tho
use of Il necessary meal to satisfy himself
with competent repast to sustain his
body withal." Much tho samo fashion
is kept up to this day, and public ban
quets and the sumptuous tables of the
opulent abound in all that can charm
the eye and tempt tho palate, and, let
me add, lay the foundation of long and
severe illness. How strange the con-
trast between this reckless profusion and
the simplicity of some medieval saint,
whose diet was spare and plain to de-
gree, or of him, greater than any of the
prophets, who did his glorious life work
on Il sparing allowance of locusts, wild
honey and water!-Cornhill Magazine.

The Laugh That Rings

A young man who is credited by his
friends with being 4 good deal of Il phil
osopher pennel me up in Il corner today
and harangued me as follows:
"Did you ever study the human laugh
as an index to human character? 1t is
an infalliblc test, me boy. Did you ever
know Il man who simpered and gigglcd
like girl who wasn't q sneak in his
heart? And, on tho contrary, did YOU
ever know a fellow who laughed squurelv
out with good honest roar who wasn't
tho prince Of good fellows?
"a shril laugh is Indicative of deceit
and deep chuclSlo proves sincerity and
good nature. By this l don't mean that
a man with u tenor voice can't laugh as
though he was honest, or ono with bass
voice cover his insinccrity with nero
below. It's the ring that talks. If the
laugh has no ring in it you can put the
fellow down as u half hearted cuss, no
matter if his laugh is loud enough to lift
the roof of tho Auditorium. Stand
twenty men up in u row before mo and
do something to get them all laughing,
and LII separate tho gool fellows from
tho Miss Nancies about rs quickly as you
could get outside of q beefstcak after a

THE END.
The slxness of the craxlish.

A correspondent Of The Forest and
Stream writes that he recently observed
a very cunning and ingenious trick Of a
crawfish Tor crayhshl for catching hies.
'altting on the bank OF & muddy pond,
or borrow pit over the surface Of
which many small flies were swarmns
about, l observed that the crawis,l came
to the surface near TIE waters edge,
and, t11rning over oa the side. tho tail
probably touching bottom, with claws
and legs 'sprudling' about i'll the water,
he assumed the exact scmblance Of dead
creatures floating on the water. In a
few seconds flies would alight on the ap-
parently dead craW fish, aud as soo.l as
one got into tho proper position there
was sudden and instantaneous flip,
when fish and flies would disappear to-
gether under the water In a few sec
onds moro he would appear on the sur
face and go through the same mancnver,
witt, the same result. There were, per
haps, two or three dozen Of them in
sight at the same time, and all industri-
ously engaged in the fly catching game"

next to nothing, so We can imagine that
the dogs do not come in for much grub

1t is Il wonder to me how their legs
stand the work SO we'll. All are sound,
or perhaps l had better write compara-
lively sound. Their bone is great for
their bodies, and the feet seem to stand
the strain well. These dogs really take
the place of asses in Belgium, where few
of the latter are seen. A good working
dog fctchcs $35 or $40, and considering

The working dog is generally of a
sturdy build. If an American or Eng

bred, his reply would be: Probably be-
tween Il mastif and smooth sheen

linct breed of these dogs, the foregoing
might be generally accepted as defini-
ton of the appearance of the breed. All
bakers use dogs for their carts. There
are, however, no shafts to these con-
Germs, but tho dog works underneath.
There is /. crossbar placed just under tho
handles of the cart and by means of u
bent axle tree the dog can work under
the cart and between the wheels. 1t

in milk and vegetable carts. The at.
tcnclant simply steers tho cart with tho
handles, excepting whero tho hill is
steep, and then 10 boulangcr lends but
little help to tho painting dog.
Therefore, on the whole, Idonot think
the working dogs in Belgium are treated

ly deserve. am not one of those who
are of an opinion Il dog should not work.
believe they prefer ordinary labor to

yard, with but littlo but u pail of stale

feed their dogs better, put smaller loads
