A little child often not only leads, but
amuses by original descriptions of or
binary events. Says the Pittsburgh
Chronicle: A judges little daughter,
who had attended her fathers court for
the first time, was very much interested
in the proceedings, After her return
home she told her mother: Papa made
a speech, and several other men made
speeches, to 12 men who sat all to-
gether, and then these IL men were put
in a dark chamber to be developed"

FRENCH MENUS.
They Are a Thing of the Past, and
English In Now Used.


A gentleman who had noted the ten.
dency upon the part of the restaurateurs
OF late to have their menu entirely in Eng

the change from the old way, when French
was the popular form for every menu in
iirst.class establishments. lie said:
"a change OF time and u change Of taste.
There was a time when restaurants could
charge very big prices. II was in good times,
and people didn't care much what they paid
so that the service was up to the very best.
Then we put the bill OF fare in French rs
gentle deception. Few could read French,
and when they ordered pommes de terre
they were under the impression they were
getting French dish when, in fact, they
were getting plain everyday murphies with
the jackets on. a..
II remember many funny cases. AT one
time / had couple OF young people ut a
table and at the close OF the meal they or
dered cafe au lait, just because it brought up
the close OF the menu. When they were
served with coffee and cream they were
surprised, and the waiter said the girl said
now to know that KAT aw layit is coffee. 1t
won't take me long to learn French, Willie,
ii YOU keep coming here.
Another thing. In the old days the
French was gentle deception. A man who
ordered pommcs de terre, say, was willing
10 pay a quarter for them, but he would have
Kicked like mule to be called upon to pay
that much for potatoes. People are eating
