MIDDAY DINNERs.-The present
universal custom of dining at six or
seven O'Clock had by no means OBJ
tanned, thirty years ago, among the
prosperous New York classes. A
good many families whose surviving
members might now feel stupidity
ashamed to own it, dined at two or
three o'clock, with q more or less
hearty supper at six or seven, till as
late as 1865. Paierfdmilias would
return from his "business down
town." having dined during the day
at some inn not tar from the old
City Hall, and would return expect
ing q hot relish for his "tea." The
word Supper" has for me no New
York reminiscence. / think its
usage with us was always, when en-
ployed at all, in the sense of new
England importation. Along Fifth
avenue and among the adjacent
side streets We said "tca-time," not
"suppsr-time," though the latter was
surely more comprehensive and ex-
plicit, and hence more correct

The New Infantry life.

The new infantry rifle is similar
to the arm now used by the Danish
government, but so altered and i'm
proved as to make it the best mag
azine-gun for army use now known.
The Crag-Jorgensen, or United
States infantry rife, model 1892, is a
magazine gun with caliber of 80 Of
an inch or is of an inch smaller
than that OF the Springfield rife now
in use. The new rife il slightly
shorter than the Springfield. The
breech is opened and closed by a
sliding bolt operated pv a handle
and knob at its rear end. The maya
zine is horizontal one, lying under
the receiver Of the barrel, and closed
by gate at its right side. Part OF
the barrel, where it is grasped by
the left hand in firing, is covered
with wood. This is necessary, for
the barrel becomes very hot from an
extreme rapidity Of fire. The han
die at the rear end of the bolt, and
a lug at its front end, fitinto grooves
and lock the bolt when the breech is
closed. On its exterior the bolt car
ries the extractor, while inside is the
firing-pin and spiral mainspring.
The magazine holds five cartridges
which are pressed forward by means
ola follower acted upon by a spring
so that the cartridges are placed one
by one in front of the bolt. The
magazine can be instantly filled from
"quick loading" box holding five
cartridges. When the bolt is drawn
to the rear, the cartridge just fired
is withdrawn by the hook of the ex.
tractor, and thrown clear Of the gun
By the injector at the bottom of the
receiver. At the same time fresh
cartridge from the magazine Is placed
IN front of the bolt. The bolt il
then showed forward, placing the
cartridge in the barrel, and at the
same time cooking the firing pin, Sc
that the piece is ready for firing.

THE GRACE OF GOD.

The following anecdote is true and
illustrative of good hunor:
Mr.. B., though an excellent man
and diligent pastor, was withal a
great wag. In the town where he
lived there was sort OF an infdel
and scoffer, commonly called sack
Harmon" Jack had nickname
for Mr.. B., which, while it had refer
ence to the well known evangelical
character of his ministry, was used
by the scoffer in a profane sense.
"There's the grace of God," he would
say as the good man was passing by.
On one occasion DIR. B. had con-
sented to be chairman at some pub.
lie meeting. The hour had arrived,
the place was filed, but no Mr.. B.
appeared. When symptoms Of i'm.
patience were manifested, q voice
was heard from one corner in the
hall, my friends, there will be no
grace OF God here the nicht.n Just
at that moment the door opened and
the minister appeared, and as lie en-
tered cast rather knowing look up
on Jack in the corner. On taking
the chair, he apologized for bis late
ness, saying that he had been una
yoidably detained at the examination
OF a school in the country. IF you

specimen of the examination. I
called upon an intelligent looking
girl and asked her If she had ever
heard Of any one who had erected q
gallows for another and who had been

Haman,' replied the girl. With that
up started another little girl, and
said: 'Eh, minister. that's no tract
Hammon's no hanged yet. for / saw
him at the inn this forenoon, drunk
and swearing like trooper" (This
caused considerable tittering among
the audience, and many eyes were
directed to the corner where Jack
was sitting.) "'You are both right

Benjamin Lay, somewhat eccen-
trio Quaker, took one OF his compo-
sitions to Benjamin Franklin to pub

over it, observed that it was detic-
lent in arrangement. at is no mat

APPLIo ATIoE.-Many are the
speeches, and the sermons, and the
treatises, and the poems, and the
volumes which are like the Quaker's
composition. The head might serve
for tail, and the tail for the body and
the body for the head, and either

THE scoTT's KEY TO TIE HEART.

A Presbyterian mipister, an Amer
lean by birth, but Of Scotch descent,
once happening to be in New Orleans
was asked to visit an old Scottish
soldier, who had wandered 70 this
city, and taking sick, was taken to
the hospital. When he approached
the Scotchman he told the minister
in surly tone that he did not want
him,-that he knew how to die with
out the aid of a priest. The minister
told him he was no priest, but .
Presbyterian minister, and came to
read the word of God to him, and
speak to him about his salvation,
but the Scotchman doggedly refused
and he was obliged to retire. He
called again the next day, but the
Scotchman turned his face to the
wall, determined to hear nothing.
The minister, as last resort, be.
thought himself of the hymn well
known in Scotland, 80 mother dear,
Jerusalem, when shall / come to
thee 2" While singing 1t the soldier
listened for few moments in silence
but gradually turning himself round
with tear in his eye, exclaimed,
"Who taught you that 7""My moth
err" replied the minister. And so
did mine," rejoined the now soitened
soldier. His heart was touched and
opened by the recollections Of infan-
cy and Of country and he now gave
willing ear to the man that had be-
fore tried in vain to approach him
with religious instruction. BY means
of the Scottish hymn he found an
avenue to the poor soldiers memory
and the key to his heart.

Tt : BAE7 STANZA.

Sool after the Pilgrims landed at
Plymouth some of the people went
out into 3 field where Indian women
were picking strawberries. They OBJ
served several cradles hung upon the
boughs OF trees with their infants
fastened in them, which was a novel
and curious sight TO any European.
A gentle breeze sprang up, which
waved the cradle to and fro. A
young man of the party peeled off a
piece Of birch bark and upon the
spot wrote the following lines:
"Lullaby baby, upon the rec top,
When the wind blows be cradle Will rock,
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall
And down will come lullaby, cradle and
all.'
These lines have been repeated
thousands of times and By thousands
of American mothers, but very few,
if any, ever knew the origin.

Fell Dead.

These words are very familiar to
our readers, as not a day passes
without the report of the sudden
death of some prominent citizen.
The explanation is "Heart Disease

the following symptoms: Short
breath, pain in side, smothering
spells swollen ankles, asthmatic
breathing, weak and hungry spells,
tenderness in shoulder or arm, flut
tering of heart, or irregular pulse.
These symptoms mean heart disease.

hanged yet, by the grace of God"
The effect upon the audience at this
thrust was electric, and they burst
out in roars of laughter, while the
mortified Jack rushed out OF the
hall, and for time at least ceased to
make the minister the object of his
scurrilous Jokes.

THE MODEL WIFE.

She rises every morning
just when the roosters crow.
She gently splits the kindling,
Makes the old stove puff and blow.
She puts the breakfast on to cook
And sings as il at play,
And while the batter cakes are made
Her husband shores awayl
The children show her gentle care.
Their nightly slumbors DER,
She dresses half a dozen,
And she whips dozen more!
Then TO hc' loom she DOH repair,

About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with a breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Itried several RENE
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. / concluded
to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and bought
a box of CUTIcuRA, cake of CUTICURA SOAP,
anda bottle of CUTIcU RA REsoLvENT. washed
the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,
taking care not to Tritate the flesh, and applied
CUTIcURA. noticed change for the better in
the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-four
hours. continued the treatment morning and
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, in fact perfect cure, as have not
seen any indications of any eruption or breaking
out since. Igave the child only few doses of
the CUTIcURA REsoLvENT. consider your
CUTICURA REMEDIES very valuable, and expect
to keep small supply constantly on hand.

out of madame's text book on the
education of snakes. But the peo-
pie swallowed it all ald felt that
they were getting their moneys
worth.
Next madame LAID her pet on the
shelf while she turned the baby
snakes loose.
The crowd lost sight of the ribbon
decorated pet in tie excitement OF
seeing The new excitement, and so
did madame herself. and it was not
until she had finished her perfo:-
marce for that time and reached out
for the pythoness and the anaconda,
that she missed il.
There wss au instant clealipg OF
the place, people tumbled over each
other in their haste to get away, but
never again did the eyes of Madame
Houssan r,st upon her so unique
pet.n He had vanished from her
horizon forever.
The doctor, who had gwen Davv
up, bis father and mother and a few
So owing friends, sat by his pillow
and famed him necessarily to keep
the breath of lie in his fail little
body. There was no sound of talk
ing or weeping, but in utter silence
which was suddenly broken by the
sweet song of a bird.
They all heard it and on each it
had peculiar influence, something
uccanny, like the speech of mani
maze things.
But Davy was TRANSPORTED. He
lifted himself on his pillow, and with
incredible strength, screamed at the
top Of his voice:
Aneel-my boo'ful Angel"
The astonished parents looked at
each other. Then, before they could
speak or move, strange thing hap
pened, so strange that I, its histor-
ian, will not ask you TO believe it
without the evidence of stranger
things that have previously occur
red.
A long, sinuous, brilliantly-mark-
ed snake darted in drought the op.
en- window and sought Davy's bed.
Those present fell back ia fright.
The next moment it was clasped
in the child's arms, was caressiug
every line of his wasted face, sing
ing that weird song that sounded
like harp's vibration and twinlng
itself about the frail body with q
loving clasp.
And Davy was restored before
their very eyes, saying over and
over again il his blessed ba by patios:
"Me love Angel-me SO glad"
How the snake came into the pcs
session Of the circus can only be
guessed. la It's long search for it's
little human playmate it had proba-
bly, been captured, when it's beauty
and tameness made it an attraction.
Naturalists familiar with the spe.
cies assured the child's parents that
the snake was as harmless as kit
ten, and as it caused the little fell
lows speedy restoration to health, it
was endured by them, if not loved.
That it had found Davy By some
powerful occult faculty seems GER
tain.
1t was soon known that this was
the attraction that had escaped from
the circus, but Che circus had gone
its way and knew nothing OF its
performers fate.
And Davys prior right to his
Angel was never disputed.-Detroit
