Peasant LIFE IN DENMARK.
A Land of Old Time Flavor and of Bounti.
full HospitaIity

A Land of Old Time Flavor and of Bounti~
full Hospitality.
Wherever it is possible the pieces of fur
niture are in pairs, placed in exactly cor
responding positions. ] have even heard
of worthy old peasant who wished to
buy two pianos, not because his daugh-
tiers played quartets, but simply in or
der to have them match. The chaos of
modern drawing room would fill these low
ers of order with holy horror. Frequently
the sides of the room are lined with wood
en- benches extending from one end of the
fireplace to the other They bring to mind
the benches the sages tell of in the halls
of the ancient vikings, tho high seat of
the Husband" referred to before, exactly
corresponding in use and spirit to the
chief seat of those sea rovers of old. Such
an old time flavor about everything makes
it easy to believe one is not in this nine
teenth century, but in a land where "time
has stood still. /"
The daily food Of the Danish peasant,
while coarse, is nourishing and plentiful.
The commonest articles are porridge of
various sorts, salt meat, cheese and black
bread, and beer and aqua vitae are drunk
by the men. At great feasts, such as chris
Jennings, combinations, weddings and fu-
nerals, the quantity of food and drink
consumed is enormous. A writer on the
Jutish peasantry tells of wedding feast
at which hundred persons assisted in
the kitchen and at the table. The prepa-
rations began over week beforehand, and
the festivities lasted several days. On
such an occasion it is considered great
disgrace for the waiting girls, daughters
and friends of the family, to allow plate
to remain untitled, and the guests are as
eager to bring about such a catastrophe
as the girls are to prevent it. At the first
rap of the spoon or the fork on the plate
half dozen rustic Hebes run to repair the
fault. At funeral feasts there is sobere1
enjoyment of the good things provided,
but the appetite is none the less keen. As
a whole, the Danish peasants probably
live better than the corresponding class in
any other country in Europe.

His family were an ticipating two weeks visit to New York and proposed sending Jack to the country during their absence. Jacks wishes ill the matter were not consulted, and he was not invited to take part in the discussion, but that he listened was proved by his actions. It was decided to start on Tuesday evening, provided letter were received by the morning s mail. It did not come, however, nor in the afternoon, when Jack brought up whole batch, and to his satisfaction no one left home. Several days, passed. Then a telegram came inquiring what was the matter. An exchange of letters disclosed the fact that the promised let ter was written and should have been received when expected. A search, into which Jack was impressed, much against his will, discovered the missing letter hidden in a hencoop, and it bore unmis- takable evidence that Jack had placed it there.
 Now, 1t Is not to be supposed that Jack could read or distinguish hand writing, so his keen nose must have rec ognized the writer, who was frequent visitor, of whom he was very fond, but only from listening to the talk could he have connected that person with the plans for departure. This is the only instance of J ack $ ever betraying a trust, but the sagacity evinced was so great that confidence in him was increased in stead of lessened by it.-Demorest's MaoaZine
