A New York woman who has been passing some months with English rela- tives, comprising several different fam. flies, says that from her observation the English appetite is constructed upon diff ferent plans from that of the American. Four meals a day sounds very satisfying but she admits she often went to bed hungry. Breakfast is bread and jam and butter, with bit of cold meat or bacon and eggs. Dinner at 3 is soup, 8 joint. sweet and a pastry. At o'clock is tea with biscuits-our crack. CTS. At 8 is supper, which is frugal.
 The portions are small, and though the meals occupy considerable time one may rise from any hungry and longing to be filled.

Fam Ous AbductiOnS.

Marriage by abduction was by no means uncommon in the early ages. The daughter of the king of Argus was ab- ducted by Ph9nician; the Greeks car ried off Europa from Tyre and Medea from Colchis.
 Next to the abduction of the fair Helen, perhaps the most remarkable in it's political consequences was the King of Leinster's taking away of the wife of a neighboring petty sovereign. O'Rourke of Breffni.
 The king of Connaught avenged the insult and drove from the throne his brother of Leinster, who appealed to Henry Il of England for aid to recover his lost sovereignty. The Norman con. quest of Ireland followed, with long centuries of war and devastation.-L don Standard.

TARIFF P1oTUREs.- the Mckinley tariff law went into effect there have been notable reductions in the price of staple jokes of general consumption:
 Where the witticism about the slow messenger boy formerly brought 9 cents, it can now be obtained for 15 cents.
 The goat and the circus poster jest once brought 50 cents per jestlet. Now it goes begging at 50 cents per dozen.
 'Witticisms about the responsiveness of Chicago girls foot once fetched as high as 75 cents in the joke market. Now no publisher will pay more than 13 cents.
 Mother-in-law jokes, once in great de- mand at $1, are now practically unsala- ble. We quote cents per dozen as the price.
 The merry piece of wit about the. pater- familias who sets the dog on his daugh= ter's young man, occasionally brought as high as $2.50 Now the joke constructor is lucky if he gets 25 cents for it.
 Plumber jokes and those about the ice man, once commanded brisk sale at 50 cents each. Now 25 cents is the maxi mum price.
 These things show the inestimable val ue of the new tariff law.-Brooklyn Lite.
