CHRISTMAS DINNER.

The Christmas dinner at the Ha-

was superb in all its appointments.
Decorations of the tables and walls
were very refreshing, consisting of
potted plants, bouquets and ferns.
The young turkey was cooked to
turn, tender and JUICY, and all the
courses were nicely prepared and
elegantly served. Mr.. P. NJ. Lucas,
steward, with an extra large force of
walters, attended we'll to the wants
of the guests. There were not many
to enjoy the dinner outside of the
regular guests of the hotel, which is
rather unfortunate in view of the
thorough preparations Mr.. johnson
the manager had made for large
company. During the dinner the
delightful music played by Royal

other crime than that of their birth, as
in not a few instances the sole record is
something like that madc in Norwich in
1882: "lII men were hanged and one
| woman and two children drowned for be-

the effect of driving them north, and in

themselves hard pushed, resorted to this
tract as a refuge. and in considerable
numbers banded themselves together,
both for their own defense and for pur-
poses of robbery. They formed for
many years the wost class OF outlaws,
having regular organization, with
chiefs. pass words, pickets, detectives,
and spies in all neighboring towns and
villages. They even granted passes for
travellers, who often secured immunity
from foot-pads and highwaymen by Gull
tivating an acquaintance with the gypsy
chief and obtaining written pass or
some token which was at once respected.
1t was also popularity of gypsy life
that the wanderers adopted the manners
and language of the people among whom
they settled. This was the case in Scot
land also, and manifested in a curious
way, for while the Scottish gypsies spoke
in the broad brogue of whatever country
they lived in, they also adopted the
Scottish clannishness, and the bands of
rival chiefs soon became as hostile as
any set of clans in the Highlands. so that
their feuds and battles made them un-
comfortable neghbors. Many of the
Scottish gypsy chiefs were men of UNI
daunted courage, and with their thievish
dispositions were also characterized by
occasional curious fits of generosity.
In their way they were notable char
acters, and in the annals of South Scot
land are many gypsy stories-of Will

ter of the parish, but on learning

generally we'll received. They were
clever people, generally more sllillful at
any craft than the native workmcn at
that time who practiced it, and what
they did not know they soon learned.
Pleasant spoken, courteous, quick at
acquiring the language of the country
they adopted for their own, they easily
insinuated themselves into good COM
pany. Early in the fifteenth century
they were allowed to dance before the
English king at Windsor, before the
Scottish king at Hollywood, and acted
plays at the French court. Early in
the sixteenth century they became
famous as tiddlers in Italy, as guitar
players in Spain, as harpists in Wales
and Ireland. They became painters,
wood and iron workers, etchers or en-
gravers on copper, soon learned to coun-
terfeit, four of them being hanged for
an attempt to counterfeit the great seal
of England in l549; they made bows and
arrows. knives and swords Sometimes
more than one royal writ went out al
lowing their leaders to administer justice
in their bands according to the laws of
Egypt"
In several countries of Europe this
confidence was soon abused, and then
came retribution. Up to the time of the
general persecution the gypsies had been
at worst merely petty thieves and
swindlers, but finding themselves the
objects of general detestation, they
rapidly developed worse traits of char
acters. They were accused OF many
henous offenses 1t was charged that
they were cannibals, that they robbed
graves. that t"ey stole children for the
purpose OF eating them, that they muir
dcred men to drink their blood. In
Germany hundreds were arrested and
put to the rack to make them confess.
They did confess, but when asked where
they had concealed the corpses they had
stolen they could not tell and were again
tortured. In France they were put to
death by wholesale simply on suspicion

A New York Architects Daring scheme.
There seems to be no limit to the
boldness of architectural design which
characterizes the era of lofty constrnc-
ton upon which the country has en-
tered within the last few years. New
York City, from the necessities of hor
situation and the limited area of her
business section, has been the leader in
the evolution Of lofty buildings, though
other commercial centers are following
closely the example set by that place.
A striking illustration Of what there
is every reason to believe may yet be
accomplished in this direction was
given at the recent exhibition of the
Architectural League in New York
City. Bruce Price. welt-known
architect, presented for inspection on
that occasion the plans for structure
442 feet in height, divided into 80
stories and covering a lot only rs feet
square. With the present progress made
in combining steel and masonry there
no difficulty whatever IN the way of
constructing such building as the
one proposed. The foundation must
cover the entire space occupied, and in
New York the bed rock frequently
comes near enough to the surface to
afford this. But when that is not the
case, piling must be used, and upon
this thick bed Of cement concrete
laid. Above this bed iron crib work
would be laid, and upon this the super
structure would be raised. The gen
eral idea may be briefly stated to be o
supporting the entire floor load Of tho
building, and also the weight of the
outside walls above the twentieth floor.
The walls themselves will be Of gran
tie, brick, marble, and terra Gotta, and
will in no case be called upon to bear
any other strain than their own weight.
By this scheme the masonry will be
far more massive, and the space occu-
pied will not interfere with the availa-
BILE floor room even in the lower stories.
The elevator system will be grouped
in the center of the building around

Action of Fog on Plants.

At recent meeting Of the Royal
Botanic Society the secretary said that
the action of fogs on plants was most
felt by those tropical plants in the So
ciety's houses Of which the natural
habitat was one exposed to sunshine.
Plants growing in forests or under tree
shade did not SO directly feel the want
of light; but then, again, London or
town fog not only shaded the plants,
but contained smoke, sulphur, and
other deleterious agents, which were,
perhaps, as deadly to vegetable vitality
as absence of light. Soft, tender
leaved plants, and aquatics, such as
the Victoria regia, suffered more from
fog than any class of plants he knew of.
