The Midday Meal.


The London Daily News says that in
England the whole theory of the days
meals is being altered. Business men
now make their lunch in the city practi-
cally dinner, take certain amount OF
rest after il, and the close of business go
home to lighter supper. Among those
who maintain the old order OF things the
dinner hour is earlier than formerly. In
the West and South in this country the
favorite practica is to have dinner at mid
day or early IN the afternoon, and it is
observable in New York that many Jersey
commuters get their big meal of the day
at noon, after the style of the London
business man.-New York World.
recently designed inkstand has por-
ton of its cover hinged to the side OF the
bottle in such q manner as to be easily de-
pressed by the pen, returning to position
by its own weight and closing the aper-
ture as soon as the pen is removed.

NlHlLlsTs CAPTURED.
Lodging House Belonging TO Prince
Used as Headannrters.

London. April l3.--The St. Petersburg
correspondent Of The Times says it is
stated In well informed circles that an
other nest Of plotters was discovered
there a few days ago in Sergius street,
one Of the most fashionable thorough
fares. The police raided a private lodg-
ing house belonging to a well known
Russian prince The raid was made
during the night. and the police found
a secret printing press, with mass of
proclamations and a large quantity OF
other revolutionary literature.
A number of arrests have been made.
Most OF the suspects are young persons,
and both sexes are inclBded. There are
no students among those arrested. but
there is said to be at least one govern
ment official
1t is understood that the conspiracy Is
in no way connected with the labor
strikes. and it seems probable that there
is a recrudescence Of the old revolution
airy movement.
