LORD ROSEBERY'S GUEST.

In the month of May, 1889, there
was an evening party in Berkeley
square, and in the early part of the
dav Lord Rosebery had met i'll Picca-
dilly Scotch farmer with whom he
had some acquaintance, and he asked
his friend to look in" in the course
of the night. The farmer duly pre-
scented himself in something that re-
sembled his idea of an evening dress.
All went well until the Scotchman got
into the supper room, and after eating
a variety of delicacies he lighted o. an
ice cream-a form of nourishment that
was new to him. Having taken u
large spoonful he managed to conceal
his discomfort. But seeing his host
he thought it his duty to inform him
of what had taken place. II don t
suppose you know, my lord" he loud
~ whispered, but think | ought to
tell you-there has been mistake
somewhere and this buildings froze. p"
Lord Roseberry grasped the situa-
ton in a moment. With perfect cour-
tesy and with a pretty appearance of
critical inquiry, he tasted the ice
cream. $50 it is" he said that's
verv strange And then, after speak
ing to one of the servants, he returned
and said to the Scotch farmer: rs
all right. | am told that this is a
new kind of pudding they freeze on
purpose, and taking his friends arm
| led him out of the room.

WHERE GIRLS OFTEN ERR.

Rejected lovers may find consola-
ton from the knowledge that some of
the cleverest and handsomest men
have been refused, and they are never
theless managed to live on and win
fame and fortune. Shakespeare is
generally credited with considerable
knowledge of humanity and its ways,
and lie describes Romeo, the prince
of lovers, as being rejected by
Rosalind only just before Juliet fell
in love with him. A certain John
Scott once proposed to Miss Allgood.
While smarting from her. disdain, he
happened to enter a village church
during divine service, and there for
the first time he saw the pretty Miss
Surtees. He wooed her, and as her
father would have nothing to say to
him induced her to elope, and this
though three wealthy suitors were al
ready at her feet. John Scott lived to
be earl of Eldon and lord high chan
cellor and never regretted the day
Miss AlloOod rejected him.

RLOWING THE FEATHER.

A new game for children is played
with feather. The party is arrang-
ed in several groups of seven or eight
each, seated in Il ring and as close to-
gether as possible. For each group is
q feather. This is tossed in the air
in the centre of the ring. 1t is the
business of the players to keep the
feather in the air by blowing every
time it comes near. The effort is SO
ridiculous that the children laugh,
when they laugh they cannot blow
and the feather is apt to settle in the
lap of the merriest child. In this case
she has to retire from the ring. 1t is,
of course, her interest to make the
other children laugh. AS the rings
decrease they are to consolidate, and
SO the game continues until only one
person is left, who, of course, is the
winner.

When summer showers are scudding round
And farmers signing for some rain,
They get none on thu higher ground,
Where spreads the dry and dusty plain;
The clouds go round the sun-burned hills
And seek the damp and woody wales;
The showers follow brooks and rills,
And shady forest tracts and swallS.
If half your land in timber lies,
Expect more rain from summer skies.

THEY OBJECT TO COLD MUTTON.

T.. What, I.won der, is the reason of
the intense aversion to cold mutton
cherished by certain classes of the

Is it possible that Dickens, with his

dealt out to the poor little marchion-

thing to do with the unpopularity of
this particular article of food
Whatever be the cause, there can
be no doubt about the fact, and most
housekeepers will recognize in the
protest of the sweeps man who OBJ
jected in O London court to the action
of his master in offering him cold NUT
ton for dinner an echo of staple and
recognized complaint from the SER

The odd thing is that no one, SER
want or otherwise, ever thinks of OBJ
jecting to cold beef. 1t is only NUT
ton in its frigid state that is held to
be in some mysterious way, deroga-
tory to the dignity of its consumer.
The comic papers, in days of yore,
used to connect cold mutton and
washing day. together, and it is
perhaps to this fact that the survival
of this curious prejudice may be

AIR CASTLES.

They are not seen by common eyes
These castles in the air
Their beauty's known to those alone
Who are the jewellers there.
The dull and plodding ways of men,
The walls of brick and stone,
Oppressed them, and they sought to build
Fair castles of their own.
These castles seem as airy clouds
That float along the sky;
But their foundations are not moved
When storms go sweeping by.
And o, how fair and bright they rise, :,
Far from the worlds vain show, -
They only who go in and out
Can understand or know.
No fairy folk inhabits them,
But souls so good and and true
1t is their everyday delight
Some blessed work to do.
Bone of our bone, flesh of our flesh,
They live with us below; i'' u.
But to these palaces in air .t......--.-.r ...I
Unseen they often go.
"Dreamers" they're called, but still they dream
With richest fancies blest,
While in these castles they have reared
They daily take their rest.
o, what by dreamers has been wrought
No saint nor sage can tell,
So many broken hearts they've healed,
So many sick made well.
Woe, woe to this poor, weary world,
When all the dreamers die,
And not castle anywhere
Is built up i'll the sky.
