CrOutOns.

To cut bread into dice before fry
ing, if it is to be used as croutons
is not the most approved method
When done in this way, it becomes
very hard and indigestible. The
bread should rather be cut into thin
slices and then stamped out in cir
cles a little larger than a quarter
or cut into squares of about the
same size, or in oblongs inches
long and over one-half inch thick.
These tossed into hot lard and taken
out almost instantly in the frying
basket are the most palatable.-

HUNGRY IN LONDON.
Hard For a Stranger to Get Meal Aftey
Midnight.


Hard For Stranger to Get Meal Aftez
Midnight.
Americans who have penetrated
as Tar away from home as London
remark, as one Of the more striking
pecullarities of that metropolis, the
extraordinary difficulty in getting
something to eat there after mid
night, says Harper's Weekly. There
are perhaps SO open all night res
taurants in New York, and in all
considerable American cities pro-
vision is made for people who have
occasion for food when most people
are asleep. The restaurant wagons,
which have come to be familiar in
most American cities, do business
from sunset to sunrise or later, and
IN themselves form a sufficient safe
guard against nocturnal famine.
London seems not to have developed
even these itinerant Ravens.
Mr.. Julian Ralph lately communi-
Gated to the London Mail a distress
ing narrative Though happy in its
ending) of the anguish of an Ameri-
can gentleman who left Paris with
nothing more than, cup of coffee
in him, omitted to take food at Bou-
logne or on the boat CT find it's

found himself in London after mid
night, $50 hungry that I was all
one clamorous appetite with a hat
on and suit of Clothes" There was
not bite of anything at his hotel.
He had not telegraphed. He was
recommended to consult a cabman.
Cabby took him to proprietary
club, where he was at first refused
admittance and afterward told that
he could get in by signing an appli-
cation for membership and paying
an initiation fee, but as there was
no food in the house except a few
sandwiches he retired.
A house near by was said to con
tain food, which could be had at a
cost of guinea for chop, a guinea
for potato and so on. That didn't
do, either. Then the cabby, touched
by the anguish of his fare and as.
sured that the plainest food would
more than satisfy man the sides
OF whose stomach were knocking
together like castanets, drove to "a
little green cabin stranded in the
roadway in Piccadilly," frequented
and sustained by cabmen, and there
the suffering American got the steak
and potatoes and bread and tea that
his system clamored for The food
was good and the company genial

ended with the return of a happy
man to his hotel, but he still won.
ders that the habits of London
should be SO very different from the
habits of Am 9rican cities.
Other Americans have been heard
of whose experiences have stirred
in them the same surprise. One OF
them is Mr.. Ralph himself, who
says: "Why London does not de-
mand all night restaurants 1 don't
know, except it be that the English
have developed the home, their love
OF it and its capacity for giving sat

ANIMALS CHANGE COLOR.
Some Of the Reasons For 1t and Some of
the Mysteries of 1t.

Some OF the Reasons For 1t and Some of
the Mysteries of 1t.
Observation and experiment go to
show how large an influence food
has in determining the color of
apimals. Everybody knows how
easily the color of the yellow
canary may be altered to an Or.
ange red by mixing cayenne pep
per with its food, though it is true
that the color change may be pro-
duced only in very young birds
whose feathers are not COMPLETELY
matured. 1t is also a matter of ex-
pertinent that all varieties of cana
RES are not equally susceptible to
the influence of the pepper, and it
is very curious fact that if the
pigment that causes the red color of
the pepper be mixed with the food
OF the birds, without the other con-
stltuents, yellow colored canaries
are not i'll the slightest degree affect
ed by it, while brown birds OF the
brown feathers of yellow birds be-
come distinctly lighter in hue.
Here is another interesting expert
ment: The large tortoise shell but
terfiy normally feeds upon the leaves
OF the elm, while the small tortoise
shell is addicted to nettles, but
when some images of the large
tortoise shell were bred from cater
pillars that have been found upon
nettles, they showed a wonderful
similarity to the smaller species,
though the color was nearer to that
of the larger. Quite in the same
line is the observation that the thorn
moth exhibits variations in color
according as the larva is fed upon
oak, hawthorn, lime or lilac. Many
other experiments have shown a
similar effect of food in modifying
or completely changing the color of
animals.
Among the changes of color that
are most perplexing, if one would
refer their cause to utility only, is
that of the gull, which is blue and
white, and is therefore generally
allowed. to be of protective value.
But of the first three years of their
lives several common species of gull
have brownish speckled plumage,
which IS totally unlike that of the
older birds, on which fact Mr.. Bed
dard remarks, IF one color be adj
yanta2eous, the other must be the
reverse, and three years is either a
considerable period or it is not long
enough"
Another perplexing part of the
subject is the color of deep sea ami
mails. 1t is an established fact that
marine animals can and do live at
the enormous depth of more than
five miles below the surface of the
water. 1t is also certain that the
sunlight does not penetrate to that
depth, SO that the animals that ex.
list there exist in more than mid
night darkness. Yet the fact is that
brilliant celebrations are generally
found in them. OF what use can it
bes How can natural selection OF
sexual selection have anything to
do with it! 1t is true, indeed, that
there may be phosphorescent light
emitted by the animals themselves,
and of this there are many evidences,
but though the deep sea fish may
be guided to its prey by a series of
natural "bullseye" lanterns, the
color of its prey could have no pro-
tective effect, but exactly the re-
verse. Our Animal Friends.

BOOK BORROWING.
Some Things That Should and Others That
Should Not BE Done.

Should Not BE Done.
In spite Of Polonius' fatherly in
junction to Laertes. neither q Dor
rover nor ii lender be-, most of us
borrow a new book now or then or
receive it from the generous owner
who insists upon lending it. Some
people take the book carelessly, 9th
ers do not rest until it is read and
returned to the keeping of its pro-
prietor.
The first thing to do with a bor-
rowed book is to cover it with thick
paper to protect the covers from ac-
cidental splashes or from lingering.
DO not wait day or so, but cover
IL at once as soon as you receive it.
Write the name of the book plainly
on the paper cover, also the owner S
name If you are one of large
family and the borrowed book is
likely to be laid on a table where
any one can pick it up, write on
cover, This book is not to be left
on the library table," for, in spite
OF dainty davenport arrangements,
the library table often means close
association with an inkstand, q
vlnaigrette Or flower vase contain
ing water or some receptacle of
fluid which may be accidentally
overturned ana spot the borrowed
book.
Do not read little in the borrow
ed book and put it aside while you
read three OF four other more inter
esting books. Begin it and get
through with it, reading as steadily
as you can until it is finished, and
then return it promptly. Do not
wait until Thursday OF Sunday, be
cause you will surely see the owner
then" Return it at once and then
it will be safely off your hands.
1t is provoking to have book
borrowed and kept for an indefinite
time; it prevents others who may
be awaiting the book from the op-
portunity of enjoying it. If the
borrower finds herself not likely to
find time to read it, she should re-
turn it at once and ask for the privi-
lege of borrowing it another time.
Never, never, lend to another a
book that you have borrowed. Let
not that piece of superficial dishon-
esty be laid to your charge Never
permit your pencil to make any
mark or annexation in a borrowed
book. If you think date is mis-
stated or any piece of information
likely to be of use in collateral read.
ing recurs to you, you are at liberty
to write it on slip of paper and to
leave it in the book at the page
where it belongs. No one should
ever score passage or a word in a
borrowed book. This is inexcusable.
Few of us could subscribe to
Charles Lambs suggestion, advising
possessors of books to be shy of
showing them, but if you do lend
them let it be to one who will re-
turn them with usury enriched
with annotations TRIPPING their
value.
Return borrowed book in the
condition in which it was lent and
as soon as possible. Philadelphia

OF Arkansas, which will finally dispose
OF an old claim of the general govern

WHY AMERICA REBELLED.
senator Lodges View of the Cause
for the RexoInfinn

America rebelled, not because the
colonies were oppressed, but because
their inhabitants were the freest peo-
pie in the world, and did not mean to
suffer oppression. They did not enter
upon resistance to England to redress
lntoierabe grievances, but because
they sawsa policy adopted which they
rightly believed threatened the free
dom they possessed. As Burke said,
they judged 1.-THE pressure of the griev-
anee by the badness of the principle, ="
and "snuffed the approach of tyranny
in cTery tainted breeze" They were
the most dangerous people in the
world to meddle with, because they
were ready to fight, not to avenge
wrongs which indeed they had not suf-
fered, but to maintain principles on
which their rights and liberty rested
The English ministry had begun to as.
sail those principles; they were max
ing clumsy and hesitating attempts to
