Irnorance of the English.

The ignorance of the English is per
haps more versatile than among any
other civilized and enlightened nation
on the earth Not one man in ten can
tell YOU how many counties there are
in England, not one in fifty the popu-
lation of Manchester, not one In
thousand the names of the monarchs
of England These people actually
know nothing about their own country
nothing about the city in which they
live. The sentry stationed in front OF
Marlborough house will tell you, per-
haps, that lis royal 'ighness lives there,
but he doesn't know the name OF the
house. A policeman who for twelve
wears had walked the beat in which the
great banking house of the Barings is To-
Gated was unable to direct Inc to that ia
nous institution-said he had never
heard the name before! Distance is reck-
oned wholly by time. 1t is four hours to
Liverpool, seventy minutes to Harwich,
twenty minutes to South Kensington,
etc. Talk to an Englishman about
miles and he simply gapes at you IL

Basket PiCniCS.

Ofcourse no one really wants to go
on a basket picnic, but then we go
lust the same, and come home VOW
ING it shall be the last one we ever at
tend. Perhaps, after all, most OF the
good time is the getting ready TO go
the planning for some one elses
comfort and the arranging the vast
quantities of good things of which
the most ethereal-looking girls Will
consume such quantities. In an arti-
Gle on "Picnics Made Easier the
Chicago Journal says: Three or
four boxes of sandwiches to one OF
cake is the right proportion fora pic
mic. If YOU are where you can get
potted meats, which are put up in
small tin cans and in great variety,
such as ham, tongue, beef, chicken,
turkey, etc, you will find them ex-
ceedingly nice, very inexpensive, and
they will save you great deal OF
trouble, as all meats for sandwiches
should be chopped as fine as possible.
Hard-boiled eggs, minced fine and
worked to a paste, with butter, pep
per and salt, make an acceptable
sandwich. Sardines and canned sal
mon are also nice, if the bones and
skin are taken out, and the hsh
minced fine and rubbed to a paste
with lemon juice and cayenne pepper;
but fish sandwiches should have a
box to themselves and not be packed
with any other kind, to which they
would surely give an unpleasant
flavor. Nor should sandwiches OF
any kind be packed with cake or any,
thing else. Lemons can be squeezed
at home, the juice mixed with its
right proportion of sugar 1.-TWO table
spoonfuls to each lemon) and poured

Before MarengO.

Bourrienne tells us how the First
Consul, in his cabinet in Paris, traced
the march to Marengo and laid his
finger on the spot in the map where
he would fight and defeat the Aus
trian army-a prodigy of calculation,
If we recollect the circumstances:
''When he had stationed the enc
my's corps and drawn up the pins with
red heads on the points where he
hoped to bring his own troops, he said
to me: Where do you think | shall

and cold drilling rain, and his yearn-
ing in this direction is SO strong that
even the tempting dainties on tie gar
bage scow do not tempt him to stay.
1t is a common sight every afternoon
during the winter to see hundreds of
the graceful birds flying and screaming
along in the wake of the deeply laden
scow. Now the scow moves on alone
to the dumping ground on the other
side of the bay. With the return of
cold weather the gull comes back to
another season of wet and garbage. At
present the Tacoma gull is sojourning
in the region of the straits, where cold
winds blow. Should the weather grow
too warm it moves on further north
and waits for a drop in the tempera-
ture before venturing back
The gull may be good judge of
chills and fever weather, but as a math-
ematician it is a monumental failure.
There may be four or five hundred OBJ
iects punched or in sight of each other,
but the gull can only count one. If
there are twenty gulls flying in a flock
each bird thinks he is the only one
there, according to the gull method OF
calculation. An old sea captain who
has made a study of deep water birds
and their habits is authority for the
statement that the gull's knowledge OF
arithmetic is limited to one solitary
figure.
ssWhen l was youngster," said th'
captain, 81 lived on the Atlantic coast
