Tho Barisal Guns,

In the delta of the Ganges mysteri-
Gus sound is sometimes heard, to which
the name of 'Barisal guns" is given,
because of its resemblance to the dull re-
port of distant artillery. Similar noises
are well known to the lighthouse keep
ers and fishermen of Ostend and Bou-
logne, who call them the "mist pouffers,
or fog dissipators, and generally hear
them on the evening of hot day in sum-
mer. Although the sounds are compared
to the detonations Of guns, they are not
very like these, and they occur at irreg-
ular intervals. Their origin is enveloped
in mystery, but some physicists regard
them as electrical detonations, such as
might be produced by flashes of ordinary
lightning or the explosion of globe light
ming, while Others refer them to the
shocks Of fluid matter in the bowels of
the earth or the rumbling of slight earth
quakes. Public Opinion.

HOW THEY DlNEO.
Tho Methods OF tho English Mt Table In
tho Seventeenth Century.

Tho Methods OF tho English Mt Table In
tho Seventeenth Century.
The old English had three meals
day, of which the chief meal was taken
when the work of the day was finished.
The first meal was at 0, dinner was
about o'clock. and supper was taken
just before bedtime. The Normans dined
at the old English breakfast time or
little later and supped at p. IN. In
Tudor times the higher classes diped at
Il and supped at s. but the merchants
seldom took their meals before IL and
o'clock.
The chisf meals, dinner and supper,
were taken in the hall both by the old
English and the Normans, for the parlor
did not come into use until the reign Of
Elizabeth. Breakfast did not become q
regular meal until quite lately, and DR..
Murray, in the Oxford Dictionary, gave
1853 as the date of the earliest QUOTA
tion in which the word occurred. The
meal did not become recognized until
late in the seventeenth century, for
Pepys habitually took his draft Of
half pint of Rhenish wine or dram
OF strong waters in place of a morning
meal. Dinner was always the great
meal of the day. and from the accession
of Henry Nv to the death of Queen Eliza
beth the dinners were as sumptuous and
extravaganza as any of those now served.
Carving was then a fine art. Each
guest brought his own knife and spoon,
for the small fork was not introduced
into England until Thomas Coryate of
Odcombe published his "Crudities" in
1911. Pepys took his spoon and fork
with him to the lord mayors feast in
1868. The absence of forks led to much
stress being laid upon the act of wash
ing the hands both before and after
meals and to the rule that the left hand
alone should be dipped into the COM
mon dish, the right hand being occupied
with the knife.
The perfect dinner at the best time of
English cookery consisted of three
courses, each complete in itself, and ter
minated by subtlety or device, the
whole being rounded off with ypocras,
after which the guests retired into an
other room, where pastry, sweetmeats
and fruit were served with the choicer
wines. The English were essentially
meat eaters, and it was not until the
time of the commonwealth that pud-
ding attained its extraordinary populari-
ty. Indeed, the first mention of pudding
i'll the menus Of the "Buckfeast'' at st.
Bartholomew hospital did not occur
until ITO. and i'll 1712 is an item of 5
sbllllngs for ice.-London Times.

Stately Dances of Old.

The minuet is already known to many,
were 1T only through the innumerable
pictures executed by pastelists, now dead
but still celebrated. The dainty gestures,
the graceful steps, tie sweeping courte-
sizes, are no secret to us, but the sara
band and the pavane we do not know
much about, although they are we'll
worth being studied. Tho saraband is
what one might call an almost religious
dance, for it is so deliberate, so solemn
and yet so gracefully beautiful. The
cavaliers, when they bend before their
fair partners, literally sweep the floor
with their plumed hats, while the la
dies brocades and laces flutter around
them like the wings of some bright hued
butterfly about to take its flight The
promenade-a sort of polonaise-which
follows, the couples marching with i'm
posing demeanor behind one another, is,
beyond everything else, becomingly
dainty, although somewhat strait laced,
but one cannot DO anything but en-
chanted by something so entirely re-
moved from tho hurry and scurry seen
i'll our salons when dancing is written
on the cards of invitation.
The pavane is sprightlier, more like
the gavotte, and brings into constant
play fans, we'll managed trains and
again plumed hats, the tout ensemble
making up tableau of unsurpassed
charm and aristocratic motion. The es-
sential qualities of all these dances are
simplicity and grace, for they afford no
opportunity for displays of gymnastics,
of hurried athleticism, no force of biceps,
no pushing or jolting or elbowing. They
are the very essence Of easy gliding and
of keeping time to strains of melody,
which remind one involuntarily of the
evanescent odor of some rare old per-
fnme like those we still find in the silk
ell sachets made by our great grand
mothers. Exchange.

A Question of Honor.

She is young, happily married and
prosperous. A short time ago she lost
her purse in the street, and Immediately
upon discovering her loss went to a
newspaper office and put in an adver-
tlsement, Offering reward for the re-
turn OF the missing article. Tile follow
ing day poor man brought the purse to
her house and claimed the reward. Leav-
ing him standing at the door, she disap-
peared, presumably to get the promised
sum, but III reality to send one of her
servants for a policeman, although she
had no good reason for doubling the
mans statement that he had picked up
the purse in the street. He was not ar
rested, but he got no reward. This sort
OF thing is rather diScouraging to persons
with honest Intentions New York
