Thers arc few households IN the land
but have a periodical rcorudescence Of

A big grocer's or bntcher's bill immo-
diately suggests that there should be
some economy practiced somewhere. {"
The present activity in the field Of
dietetics should spread valuable knowl-
edge into every kitchen. Il is already
showing benefits in the matter Of nutri-
tious food versus medicine.
Housewives donot always realize that

lies within the domestic threshold, and

The unintclligont methods Of poor

enceA, Physical and Otherwise.
Thomas Laughter, who is said to havo

record that connects him with Holborn.
He was a we'll educated man, for he had
studied at Christchurch, Oxford, for q
years. In early life he had been wine
merchant in Tower street and failed,
owing to the failure Of a very large
house In the Same trade, Neele, Fordyce

came blind and speechless, and the skin
peeled or from the whole Of his body.
Though n wine merchant, he never
drank any fermented liquor for the first
90 years Of his life. The old mans
memory WIS prodigious. He we'll ro-
mombcred, in i7O5, seeing Queen Anne
going to the house Of peers, seated ON q
pillion behind the Lord Chancellor, and
he talked about the death Of William
III He bad been a well made man,
rather above the middle height. At so
lac bad severe ft Of illness, and then q
fresh head Of hair came, and new nails
on the fingers and toes. A contraction
that took place IN the fingers Of each
hand at this instant remained always
after. Nothing is said about new teeth
coming in his case, aud he must soon
have recovered sight and speech, which
misfortune had deprived him o. 30
abruptly.
he had son, who died at the ago Of
80, and whom he always called poor
Tommy" This boy Of fourscore looked
very much older than his father, and the
fact led to some curious mistakes ON the
part Of strangers who saw them togeth-
er Once, when they were walking IN
Holborn, the son could scarcely keep
pace with the father-in fact, with so
great difficulty and distress did he do so
that he attracted the attention Of gen
tleman, who went up to old Laughter 10
expostulate with him ON bis want Of
flial duty in not aiding more his vener-
able father. Tho old man told him Of
his mistake, but the stranger refused to
give the least credit to his assertion un-
til somebody passing at the time, who
know the Laughers we'll, certified to the
perfect truth Of the story.
All four turned laughers then; at
their separation all Holborn beamed
with smiles, and grew quite radiant foE
0moment, but the next second it relapsed
into its bustling but somewhat melan.
choly quotidian business--cash hunting.

who showed such prevailing anxiety
