BILLS A CENTURY OLD.

There is a bill for groceries. etc.
furnished for an undergraduate at
Cam bridge in the year 1888. The bill
contains one or two items OF furni-
ture. Apparently the undergraduates
took over rooms already furnished at
a valuation and certain articles had to
be bought new, such as a hearth brush.
a pail. mop and Holland Gotch"
one knows not what this means, but
1t cost 2 shillings 9 pence (43 cents).
The undergraduate would seem at
first sight to have consumed tea in a
most reckless manner. On Oct "a he
is charged 2 shillings for Hyson and
shilling 6 pence for Congo. On Nov.
2 he is charged shiilings for tea,
and on the same day, which looks odd,
shillings 6 pence for tea. On the 9Th
of the month he buys a new teapot,
the old one, one supDoses. worn out
| with hard service However, this tea
lasts him until the end Of the term,
so that his tea costs him for the two
months no more than IL shillings, or
S275, and as the price OF tea at this
time varied from shilliugs to about
rs shillings, we may conclude that he
got through no more than pound
during the term.
In other words this young man took
for breakfast a slight repast Of weak
tea and bread and butter. Dinner was
then served at r. so that breakfast
was only what the Indians called a
"chota hazri." On sugar he spent
shillings, which means six pounds at
s pence a pound. On candles he spent
"a shillings at So pence, or about
shillings a week He burned wal
candles, mold candles and "waz
twist" Salt was a shilling a packet
On two occasions he bought sand
Was. then, the floor Of his room sand
ed? 1t would seem so.

CHARLES ScRrBNER's SoNs.-Mr. Arthur
H. Scribner said: The present season has
been a remarkably successful one thus far
for all the leading publishers. and there is
every Indication that the distinctively
Christmas trade will show a corresponding
increase over previous years. This is due
in part no doubt % the general prosperity
OF the country. which the magazines feel
not only In circulation. but in increased adj
vertising: but the cause lies back OF this
in the greater interest taken by the public
in the better class Of new books. There is
certainly a constantly growing audience
for good literature. and this exists entirely
independent Of the rage for the now novel.
though this is probably tho most sensational
feature Of the business to-day Figures Of
a hundred or more thousand copies are
now reached instead ~ the thirty or forty
thousand Of a few years ago. and the recur-
renee Of such successes Is more frequent

ly we illustrate the play with scenes drawn
directly from the stage, together with por-
traits OF the principal dramatis perSonae as
represented by well-known actors and act
resses. We find that the public is becom-

make quite speciality OF it as soon az the
dramatic season is well under way, and the
various dramas that are promised shall have
established their excelences before theatre
goers."

The Penelope club met with Mrs. ID.
l.. Boynton this afternoon. The hostess
transformed the meeting into Valell
tine party and the jolly saint seemed
to interfere with the work of the usual
ly industrious members. The Valen-
tines caused so much merriment that
very little work was accomplished.
With the dainty lunch, Valentines
again made their appearance in the
form of candy hearts. Though not in
the usual Penelope way the meeting
was very delightful one.

School and city elections are coming
on apace. 1t is of vital Importance
that these places should be filled by
good men and both parties should be
looking up good timber for candidates.
The choice of good school director is
really of more Importance to the or
binary man than the selection of good
president or congressman or governor,
for through the competency or incom-
potency of the director the future OF
your children may be made or marred.
