Dinner was generally served at p m.

were excellent, being the choicest pro

not unfrequent items on the bill of fare.
For more accurate knowledge of what
our ancestors ate at their principal meal

menu of dinnerto her sister; the quaint
spelling is retained; First course-Fish,
beefsteaks, rabbit and onions, fillet of

The Children's Flower Beds.

Most children seem to have a natural
desire to cultivate flowers and have some
of their own, and if this propensity was
duly encouraged it would become a per-
manent trait of their characters. 1t
would make them observing and famil-
lar with the laws of nature. To know
the names Of the different flowers and
plants of ones country and the wondrous
processes of their growth is almost equiv
alent to a liberal education. Such knowl-
edge enlarges the mind and softens and
rehnes the nature, and therefore we
should allow our children, boys and
girls alike, to have their little flower
beds in pleasant and well prepared
places instead Of in out of the way spots,
as is usually the case. If our boys were
taught to love and cultivate flowers they
would not when they become husbands,
as husbands now sometimes do, begrudge
their wives sufficient land for decent
flower garden.-Mrs. Burton w. Potter

AN EXPLOSION OF GAS.

1t Causes Disastrous Fire in Jer-

JERSEY CITY, Dec. Am explosion of
gas caused disastrous fire at the Jersey
City terminus of the Pennsylvania railroad
this morning in the five story brick build
ing fronting on Exchange place, The ex-

surrounding woodwork was instantly
ablaze. The ferry boat Jersey City of the
Cortland street line was just entering the
slip when the explosion took place and the
whistle until the alarm was taken up by
all the river craft in the vicinity.
The Pennsylvania compsny's fire tugs,
America, Juniata, Delaware, Mercer and
Lambden, the Central railroad of New Jer-
sey company's tug Bsyonne, three Erie
railway tugboats with three of the New
transfer boats and the freboat New Yorker

erly ferry slips and worked their pumps 90
| save the ferry house and the Adams Ex-
press company pier on the north. The
| ferryboats, Cincinnati, Chicago and Jer-
sey City, also got lines of hose in opera
ton and deluged the buildings with water.
The result was that the river end of the
terminus, including the slips, were but
slightly damaged. The company recently
completed the magnificent train shed.
The general superintendent's Office with
those Of the division superintendent, chief
engineer and numerous other officials of
the road was cleaned out. From the Of
fee buildings the fire spread to the train
sheds in the rear and attacked the wooden
interior ceiling About 100 feet of the
ceiling was destroyed and hundreds of the
glass roof lights fell in fragments upon the
concrete platform below. A dozen lines
of hose were brought into play and the
train shed was saved from further damage
The fire was under control at 6 O'Clock
and one hour later the ferry boats ant
trains were running on schedule time
The total loss will not exceed $60,00t
which is fully covered by insurance.
